Superman has accomplished some amazing things, but one of the greatest is the fact that he's been able to triumph over Darkseid. Darkseid is the God of Evil and the lord of Apokolips. He's led his forces in a war against the New Gods of New Genesis for ages and has attacked the Earth many times.
The evil New God Darkseid trumps his son Orion, and Superman has defeated Darkseid more times than Darkseid has beaten him in return. While not on Darkseids level, Supes did beat Apollo.
While Superman has a number of amazing abilities and overwhelming strength, it's nothing in comparison to the sun god, Rao. After being resurrected by a mad scientist, Rao showed the world and the Man of Steel what Kryptonian power actually looks like.
The Man of Steel then stated that the Asgardian was the single toughest opponent he had ever faced in battle. While Thor is one of the mightiest gods in the Marvel Universe, he is still no match for the unparalleled power of Superman.
First of all Zeus and Superman fought in the Injustice storyline. Zeus won it, However, if you don't consider it as canon then…. Zeus defeated the shatter god.
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.
Just looking at the numbers, Darkseid would win. His Omega Beams wipe out anything they hit from existance, or in the case of Batman send that person back in time.
While kryptonite is Superman's greatest weakness, he's susceptible to other forms of energy and threats. This makes Billy Batson — aka Shazam, the World's Mightiest Mortal — one of Superman's greatest opponents. Batson can transform himself into an incredibly powerful adult body when he says the magic word "Shazam."
While Thanos might have the brute strength to defeat Thor, for example, it's a different matter when it comes to the Big Blue Boy Scout. That's because Superman remains much more powerful than Thanos — meaning that, in a straight fight, the former is bound to take the latter down.
Captain Atom has proven in past battles that he is stronger than Superman and has better fighting skills. He can also weaponize red sun radiation, which can weaken Superman like Kryptonite and magic. His sometimes uncontrolled nature has earned him a reputation as one of the most dangerous DC heroes.
1951). Green kryptonite weakens Superman and other Kryptonians, and is fatal with long-term exposure. Kryptonians under green kryptonite's effects experience severe muscular weakness, usually to the point of collapse, and excruciating pain, with both conditions progressively intensifying.
Batman might be a mere mortal, but he's taken down several beings much more powerful than him. Join us as we uncover 15 gods that Batman defeated! In fact, the creator/writer of True Detective said that with enough time to plan, Batman could credibly defeat GOD.
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.
With huge strength on both sides, the major advantage Shazam has always had is his magic, which is a particular weakness for Superman. Thus, on occasions like All-Star Squadron when Shazam was under mind control and not holding back at all, he decisively managed to defeat the Man of Steel.
Even though Superman is often considered the most powerful character in the DC Universe, Shazam definitely comes close, and he can even beat the Man of Steel. And with a massive power upgrade, there's no question that Shazam can meet Superman blow for blow—despite the upgrade's terrible side effects.
Darkseid is definitely stronger than Hulk at a base level, but as the fight goes on, Hulk gets more powerful and he would eventually defeat the God of Evil.
While Superman and Thor both have compelling arguments and have been proven to be a relatively even match, Superman ultimately would win the day, unless Thor had Kryptonite on hand.
He has superhuman speed and strength, and once fought Zeus to a standstill. Thor would certainly be thwarted by Darkseid. This fearsome villain would be able to drain the lifeforce from him, and even his godly weaponry doesn't seem like it could withstand Darkseid's Omega Beams.
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.
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.
