Superman vs. Thanos: Who is more powerful, and who wins? With everything analyzed, it's obvious that Thanos is more powerful than Superman and would win in a fight even without Infinity Stones. Thanos has powers and abilities that can be considered Superman's great weakness.
Thanos would win, but not by hand to hand combat. Superman is fast and strong, but if Thanos has the infinity gauntlet, Thanos wins. He can alter reality, manipulate space and time, and have unlimited power.
By most accounts, Superman seemingly outclasses Thor in terms of raw strength, especially in earlier versions of the DC Universe. He's pulled planets, punched people into orbit and performed all sorts of wild feats of strength.
If Superman had no weaknesses at all, no Avengers would have a chance in front of him. While Superman is known for his incredible strength, speed, and other superhuman abilities, there are a few Avengers who could potentially give him a run for his money.
2 Superman Would Cut Loose On Thanos & Take Him Out
He's faced Thanos's type many times and always won. Superman is vastly more powerful and skilled than Thanos. It wouldn't take him long to realize how dangerous the Mad Titan was and once he did, he'd take the kid gloves off.
3 Darkseid Is Thanos's Superior
The God of Evil has been fighting his wars for countless millennia and is one of the most powerful beings around. Few enemies have ever been able to beat him one on one and killing him is nigh impossible. Thanos is a fearsome enemy, but Darkseid is his superior in all forms.
Yes, as a shock to many, Superman has briefly lifted the mighty hammer in a phenomenal crossover with Marvel and DC Comics.
So it wouldn't be much of a surprise that Tony built, or at least could build, an Iron Man suit capable of beating Superman. Most likely, the whole suit is made of Kryptonite, so it would not only beat Superman, but quite possibly kill him. Superman's defeat, however, is only down to Tony Stark having enough prep time.
In terms of physical strength, Sentry is the most powerful being in the entire Marvel universe, and his powers are similar to Superman. It's just that Sentry has a much more advanced brain and also has telepathic abilities, which allows him to win over Superman.
Since they both possess superhuman strength and speed, their fight might go on for days. However, according to Greg Pak — Marvel's writer, who worked on several comics featuring the Hulk, Superman would win their fight because of his virtues: “Superman, being who he is, will not just make his enemy angry.
The two heroes have raced several times since then, in the comics, cartoons and movies. As a general rule, the comics claim that The Flash is the faster hero, with Barry Allen, Wally West and even an octogenarian Jay Garrick having outrun Superman over the years.
Marvel has alluded to Carol's weakness against magic quite a few times in the books. But in a battle against Superman, she is practically invulnerable. She won't have to use Kryptonite to defeat him because she could take advantage of the red sun radiation.
Goku would win
Wizard concluded that Goku's power known as Super Saiyan would be strong enough to defeat Superman, with a planet-destroying punch being lethal for the latter.
Taking all of these things into account, checking the numbers, ticking the boxes, and pure old gut instinct, it's obvious that the winner in a fight between Superman and Black Adam is... Superman.
If the first question means “Could Superman handle the full power of the Infinity Stones?” in the sense of “Could Superman survive being hit by the full power of the Infinity Stones?” then the answer would be unequivocally “No.”
There's nothing that Superman Prime cannot do. Of course, he doesn't even have to be like that in order to defeat Ultron's best version. Superman can simply fly into a neutron star while fighting the robot and absorb all the radiation which can turn him into something Ultron simply has no chance of defeating.
He's not weak to magic. It's never been a thing that he's weak to magic. The only time Superman has been overcome, is when he's held himself back. Superman at full strength would kill Wanda.
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."
Despite the fact that he has bested several magic-powered foes in the past, Superman has no real defense against the Scarlet Witch. While Wanda's human form could allow Superman to best her in a purely physical fight, her ability to alter probability and use magic inevitably puts the odds in her favor.
While Superman is easily one of the strongest characters in any comic book universe, even he can't break Captain America's shield. Due to his Kryptonian heritage, Superman has the power to harness the energy from Earth's yellow sun and transfer that into near godlike powers.
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.
Hercules / Zeus
While not cosmic (none of that on this list!), he can survive the vacuum of space and resist cosmic attacks. He ranks above Thor here because he's technically the stronger of the two. In fact, he is considered by many authorities to be the physically strongest character Marvel has ever created.
In fact, the comics have put Superman's strength at a point where he's able to lift around 2 billion tons! To put that into perspective, the Empire State Building is only 365,000 tons!
Superman can lift 2 billion tons and Godzilla weighs 90,000 tons. So yes Superman can carry Godzilla.
And the answer is no. Superman can't lift the Earth.
