It would be the fight of the century, with Shazam shouting the magic word repeatedly to get that monstrous lightning bolt to hit the Man of Steel and he would even get himself out of a few sticky situations. However, when all is said and done, Superman is more ruthless and experienced as a fighter.
Shazam is in a similar strength class as Superman, but he can also command lightning. Shazam's magical powers give him a clear advantage over Superman whenever they meet in battle. The two heroes have fought several times, and Shazam almost always takes the win unless outside forces are at play.
If Shazam wanted to kill Superman, would he be able to do so? Yes, Shazam could kill Superman. To be honest, there are a good number of characters that could kill Superman if they wanted to. I think his friends and allies, if they were to betray his trust, would stand the best chance.
Shazam is very powerful, but he just doesn't stand a chance against an Odinforce and Power Cosmic enhanced Thor. Shazam would put up a good fight for a bit, but Thor would be able to overpower him and take him out.
Superman has been defeated by surprising opponents like Orion, Shazam, Hawkman, and Captain Atom. Even the powerful Galactus and Godzilla have managed to defeat Superman in crossover events. Superman's most baffling defeat came at the hands of Alfred Pennyworth and Muhammed Ali in unexpected circumstances.
There's no question the Hulk is a near-indestructible force who comes out on top in almost all of his battles of pure strength. However, against Superman, he's outmatched. While Hulk's strength might rival that of the Man of Steel, Superman's other abilities give him a considerable edge against his opponent.
While Superman could potentially overpower Thor, blows rendered by the mystical Mjolnir would likely impose serious damage on the Kryptonian hero. With his super-speed, the Man of Steel could probably avoid the Thunder God's lightning, but not necessarily, since Thor is just as fast.
On their own, both these noble heroes are capable of beating incredible forces. But for all Shazam's power, he does not match Thor's experience in using the more arcane elements of his abilities.
As the dialogue in Justice League #73 suggested, while Superman's specific vulnerabilities give Black Adam a chance against him, that doesn't mean the two are equal in power, and the Man of Steel is clearly stronger by any comparison.
Shazam and Black Adam are completely even when it comes to power level. The reason Shazam wins their battles is simple: he's able to take advantage of Adam's weaknesses as a person to win. If Adam was able to control himself better, something that has improved in recent years, he could easily beat Shazam.
Thanos is one of Marvel's greatest villains but that doesn't mean he's dangerous to the most powerful DC heroes like Shazam. Heroes like Shazam and Superman can lift tens of thousands of tons; Thanos tops out at much less than that.
Shazam's greatest weakness is mind control, which turns him into a living weapon with no one to stop him. This weakness harms others more than Shazam himself, as he is physically invulnerable. If a villain gains control of Shazam, he becomes the deadliest member of the Justice League.
While Superman is known as DC's strongest hero, there is one Justice League ally who can reliably take him down in a fair fight. This hero's power has been established in various stories, confirming that even the Man of Steel has cause to watch his back. That hero is Captain Atom, aka Nathaniel Adam.
When counting down the most powerful DC cosmic characters of all time, the number one has to be DC's version of God, known as The Presence. While there are numerous Gods in the DC pantheon, mostly from the Greek versions of Zeus and his offspring, the Presence is more powerful than them all.
1. Kal Kent. The Superman of DC One Million is a highly advanced Kryptonian from the 853rd Century. Whilst in a weakened state, Kal could easily punch through the time barrier.
While the Hulk may experience moments where he appears to reach Superman's power levels, it's practically a given that the Man of Steel has even more limitless strength and is just holding back.
Hulk has a violent reputation among Marvel's heroes. He's the strongest one there is, and his power is pretty much infinite. Fighting him is basically an exercise in futility, as any blow that doesn't take him out makes him angry, and he just gets stronger. However, that's exactly why Black Adam would win.
It seems that they were evenly matched. Despite having the Wisdom of Solomon, Superman can certainly think a bit quicker than Shazam. But even that will only get him so far. In fact, in Alex Ross' Kingdom Come graphic novel, Shazam was brainwashed by Lex Luthor.
It's important to note that the rules around worthiness had been temporarily suspended to allow this to happen. As soon as the fight was over, Superman couldn't lift the hammer anymore. However, under normal circumstances, without any weird interference, Superman is worthy of Mjolnir.
No. Thor's hammer is extremely durable. We've seen Superman hit with things before that didn't break. The only way I see a fight with Thor & Superman ending with Mjolnir broken is if Superman punched it as hard as he could while Thor was swinging it as hard as he could.
SPOILER ALERT: Loki can literally control time and space. He held an infinite amount of timelines for eternity. Season 2 Loki is arguably one of the most most powerful characters in the MCU, easily comparable to infinity Ultron, the watcher etc. DCEU Superman stands no chance!
Godzilla's strength has been officially confirmed to be greater than Superman's, as shown in Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #2 preview. This feat of strength proves that Godzilla can easily defeat other Kryptonians, such as Supergirl and General Zod.
Short answer: In standard versions, Odin stomps Superman. Odin wins or at least stalemates against all versions of Superman except Strange Visitor Superman (not including CAS) . Current versions, Superman destroys Odin.
