Doctor Manhattan, “the superman,” is now born. Manhattan's powers include matter manipulation (including his own body), telekinesis, teleportation, and limited clairvoyance. His perception of past, present, and future began to fuse, making him apathetic and misanthropic. It's implied that he's become immortal.
Originally Answered: Superman Vs Dr Manhattan, who wins? If it's in terms of raw power, Dr Manhattan. Superman is a demi-god, but the blue guy basically is a transcendentally powerful being. If it's within the context of a story though, the victor will be Superman.
Dr. Manhattan, period. He can simply disassemble the very structure of Hulk so that he no longer exists, I mean, the dude is nigh-omnipotent and easily multiversal, Hulk is at best a star buster, Dr. Manahattan can destroy and rebuild universes.
Is Dr. Manhattan the only one with powers in Watchmen?
Dr. Manhattan was the only person with actual superpowers and the most powerful being in Watchmen created by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins.
While Thanos is still incredibly powerful even without the Infinity Gauntlet, he is nowhere near as strong as Dr. Manhattan without the Infinity Stones.
While Goku's Ultra Instinct takes him nearer to a God-level strength, Doctor Manhattan already has it and he is, pretty much, a God who can do anything he pleases. Teleportation, disintegration, creating stuff through his mind, and on top of that, time travel makes him almost impossible to beat.
Doctor Manhattan tried to erase Superman from existence yet he kept on coming back. Superman is the centre of all DC and without him nothing would exist. The metaverse forms around Superman.
Fans who are left wondering "who can defeat Dr. Manhattan?" have only to look towards the character known as The Beyonder, who is largely considered to be one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe.
Weaknesses. Doctor Manhattan's major weakness is Tachyons which limits his sight of seeing into the future or through time itself, Ozymandias himself used this against Manhattan multiple times even tried to dissolve him by just science but failed.
Thus, it seems Doctor Manhattan has the clear edge in even a fight that would literally shred the very fabric of reality. No matter what the Scarlet Witch did, Doctor Manhattan would retain clear perceptions of what was going on and be unaffected by Wanda's manipulations.
Doctor Manhattan tried erasing Superman but Superman popped right up every single time and Dr. Manhattan>Infinity Ultron. Tanked the anti-life equation that can end reality and would easily one shot Infinity Ultron.
His abilities to manipulate reality at a fundamental level make him nearly invincible. While Ghost Rider is a powerful supernatural entity with his flaming skull and hellfire, it's unlikely his abilities could match the sheer omnipotence of Dr. Manhattan.
Boomstick: This was a super-difficult dual to deduce, but in due time Doctor Manhattan could spell the doom of the Herald of Galactus. In fact, he made the Silver Surfer look tachyon in comparison. Wiz: The winner is Doctor Manhattan.
Gibbons had created the blue character Rogue Trooper, and reused the blue skin motif for Doctor Manhattan as it visualised electrical or atomic energy while still resembling human skin tonally and "reading as Jon Osterman's skin would've read, but in a different hue." Moore incorporated color into the story, and ...
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.
Doctor Manhattan casually alters and creates multiverses. The comics to my knowledge never explicitly put any limits on his capabilities. So there is some question about whether the power is created or manipulated. However, it's safe to say he can create anything on a 5th dimensional or lower level.
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.
With his massive variety of powers, Franklin would be able to overwhelm Doctor Manhattan. Manhattan's only real hope, as intimated above, would be to stop fighting Franklin and just observe him instead. Otherwise, Franklin would be able to do something that no one else could- destroy Doctor Manhattan.
It finally becomes clear that Manhattan's interpretation of the future was wrong. His encounter with Superman ended neither in his own death or the end of the metaverse, but with Manhattan himself restoring the metaverse to its proper form.
In terms of speed, power, and durability, Superman and Goku (in SSJ2) are pretty much even. However, Goku's martial arts training gives him an edge against Superman. Superman might have gotten some training as well, but it has not been covered or written about as extensively as Goku's.
While it's still a mystery as to who would actually win in a fight between Goku and DC's Superman, there's no mystery at all as to who would be the victor in a fight between Goku and Dragon Ball's 'Superman', as it's clear that Suppaman wouldn't stand a chance against the Saiyan hero.
Anyway, Manhattan is to Zeno what everyone else in Zeno's verse (aside from Future Zeno) is to Zeno himself times astronomical dimensional infinity cubed (essentially). ^Manhattan. That's my way of basically saying that Manhattan is sheer astronomical LEAGUES above Zeno.
