Every Version of Superman Ranked

Superman is one of the most popular superheroes of all time. He’s usually portrayed as the perfect symbol of hope and the type of hero we should all strive to be in our everyday lives. But because The Man of Steel has been around for so long, there have been so many different adaptations and variations of the character, ranging from comics, to animated TV shows, to a plethora of live action appearances. But out of all of them, how would you rank them against each other? Who’s the strongest Man of Steel out there? Well that’s what I’m here to find out!

In this video, I’ll be breaking down some of the most famous versions of Superman and comparing them against each other. I’ll mention versions like Superman Prime, who went and hung out inside the sun for thousands of years and came out tremendously powerful, Val-Zod and Electric Superman. I’ll discuss some of the most evil versions of the character across the multiverse including Ultraman and Injustice Superman. I’ll talk about the Supermen from some famous story adaptations like Kingdom Come and All-Star Superman, and I’ll even talk about most of the live action Supermen!

Electric Superman was an awesome run in the comics. The artwork, storylines, Superman ability to adapt to the powers; it was so amazing. I wish it got more recognition today (and in animation).

[GoatAmv]

Superman Prime is definitely the strongest version of Superman. In DC comics, Superman leaves Planet Earth after he sees everyone he loves die of age or disease. From the 21st century to the 700th century, Superman traveled around the universe to uncover great mysteries while also increasing his powers.

Anyone excited to see Cavill return for the DCU as the Man of Steel himself?

Christopher Reeves is the only reason i believe the glasses disguise would actually work because in those movies he was 2 completely different people

[XXXI]

I grew up with Tom Welling as Superman and he's the best live action Superman next to Christopher Reeves' version imo, I really don't get Henry Cavill's portrayal it was just so flat (he's really perfect on paper tho).

We're the Power Rangers!

The only reason they are not higher in list is because they are restricted by CW low budget fr 😂😂😂

[gamerootz]

I think bazaro would work in a movie if you do the red hood version team one definitely shows his human side

[paulsmith]

Christopher best clark.he played the nerdy, clumsy clark perfectly.

[wibukritis]

who is gonna win if superman from movies fights madara?

[LightHero]

Of course. This wouldn't be a CBR video without taking some kind of potshot to the DCEU and addressing viewers like they have only known their favorite characters for 2 days.

[shawnchristopher]

Superman and Lois definitely brought back Superman and actually made me like Superman again and maybe more
