20 Avengers Who Could Beat Superman

It’s natural to have a rival, especially among two legacy publishers of comic books that both in their own way defined the modern superhero. The Distinguished Competition are the pioneers of the Golden Age with its triumvirate of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Marvel meanwhile defined the Silver Age with troubled superheroes with difficult lives in and out of their super suits. But nevermind all that, at the head of the class when it comes to superheroes is the man who started it all, the baby from Krypton who became Earth’s greatest defender, Superman. Over his long time as an icon of comic book superheroes Superman has only grown in strength to the point that there are few people in the DC universe that can take him on. But is there anyone on the Avengers roster that can take on the big blue boyscout? There are some regulars on the Avengers team that might be able to bring the pain to the Kryptonian like the Mighty Thor, or people clever enough like Tony Stark, but when you go deep in the files you find members like Hyperion and Sentry that unequivocally are Superman caliber. Take your pick, what fight would you like to see and how would you like it to go? Let us know in the comments and make sure to subscribe to CBR for the latest videos.

Which Avenger would you love to see fight Superman?

[otnahmir]

When you put krytonite in every situation anyone can beat him. Try makin a list of people who can beat him without

[Kayoss]

I find it funny how (in terms of both DC and Marvel) we have characters who can create pocket universes, bring people back from the dead, being the source of life, psychic gods, celestial beings, yet Superman gets the most flak for being OP.

[dezwatchesyt]

Scarlett Witch is literally all powerful with the darkhold

[macster]

what people don't understand is that the biggest weakness of Superman is his conscience. If Superman was a villain, he would be pretty much unstoppable.

[abhinavpa]

Can't Wong just open a portal and close it and cut Superman's head

Yes wonggg!

[juliankinda]

Superman, mostly holds back that's what makes him more dangerous

[marcomcdowell]

Superman has the greatest power of all...plot armor. He's as strong as he needs to be according to the story.

[ilusiil]

The problem is that all super powerful Mutants/superheroes get nerfed to create the illusion of challenge and make the fight interesting and entertaining. Which is why even in the comic books you have instances where they appear to be all powerful and others where they lose even though logic dictates that they would have easily won. Look at the Batman vs superman fight. superman would have to massively dial down his abilities just so Batman could hit him with his super fast speed and reflexes.

[justindaye]

I’m guessing there’s a kryptonite gift shop nearby

[BrBill]

I think you're forgetting about Pepper Potts. She could defeat Superman by making him answer the phones at Stark Industries.

[apb]

Superman is so "supergood" he never truly uses his full strength to kill someone. He has all that power with the speed of the flash. A good example was the ridiculous Batman Vs. Superman movie. Batman wouldn't have had a chance if that was Brightburn. If it was a real fight then looking for Superman would be like looking for a bullet flying through the air.

[geocepeda]

To be honest none of these people can beat Superman because even in the movies it showed that he was almost as fast as flash so with that he can just kill them before they even blink and this just giving some sense

[benmason]

Why most of these characters *may* beat The Man of Steel is cos of his *Humility*
The Man of steel is very much humble that's the reason he doesn't win most of his battles that he could easily bag
Superman's humility is both his strength and weakness
Superman doesn't go all out most of the times even when fighting his villains. He'd try to *'take them down'* without resulting to violence... Remove his humility and the outcome of the battle will change considerably and drastically...

[ELECTROBUFF]

Captain Marvel can literally be a red sun photon emitter

[jerrymugao]

If they lack the cryptonite they are just dead

[diacles]

Literally none of these pretenders could beat Superman

[gerardocovarrubias]

Superman is the most powerful and strongest superhero of all time and history no one can beat him

[chase]

Bro without cryptonite most of these guys won’t even be able to move Superman.

[tyzza]

If superman was ruthless he could just speed blitz most of these guys. He could snap Wondas neck before she starts using her magic
