Strongest Superhero - and why?

[TeamZissou]

Yesterday at work we started discussing, very maturely, who was the strongest superhero and why.

Superman was my first thought, but kryptonite seems like a quick end.

What hurts the Hulk? Thor? Who wins there?

Anyway- discuss!

[TeamZissou]

Oh- don't tear me to pieces. I searched for the thread- nothing. I thought about general chat- but this is intended to be "movie" superheroes only.

its pretty much impossible to say. we dont really know the full limits of the MCU version of the Hulk, but considering the fact that he gets stronger the madder he gets its conceivable that he could be stronger than Superman (who i would say is the only other real contender for the title) if the conditions are right.

Howard the Duck, or suck a puck.

[MykeHavoc]

Physically? Superman. He could punch planets.

[bluballer]

Rogue. She can emulate any superhero, and may even be impervious to Kryptonite since she is not a native Kryptonian.

Superman VS Hulk is the debate that should ensue here.

Myself? I think Superman has the edge in a straight up brawl without Kryptonite involved.

[Clark Kent]

I...mean Superman would never be stupid enough to get in a brawl with the Hulk. Let the Hulk square off with Doomsday and we'll see if the Hulk could handle him.

[Pondosinatra]

Next question.

[jasonjl]

Professor X without question

[Clark Kent]

The toughest to beat are definitely the villains that can alter reality.

That was short lived...haha. I think in order to effectively debate this argument, you should pick a particular universe, or else Superman will always be king.

That's an easy answer. What would happen if a telepath like Jean Grey or Professor X made him kill himself? There's so many different facets to the discussion. It really is a great topic, and an equally terrible one because it would never end.

Batman with prep time.

Would they have power over an alien mind though? Kryptonians were supposed to be a highly advanced race. Perhaps that has something to do with the genetic makeup of their brains. Would a telepathic human be able to enter the mind of the last son of Krypton?

How should I know? They're mutants, not humans. That's my whole point. Endless possibilities.

Bobby Drake from X-men 2 & 3 because he can freeze everyone.

Dr. Manhattan - he could send Superman to a planet that doesn't have a yellow sun rendering him someone with no super powers.

I have a comic where Sups destroyed Doomsday with his heat vision so I'm pretty sure Hulk would kick the crap outta him.
