And why is that and can you give me proof please? Or are you talking out of your butt?Firestorm808 said:Consistantly 3-A from the OP? What are you talking about?
We crossexamined and denied practically all of the feats and cited our sources.
As far as I'm concerned, you're the one who is hard to know what you are talking about.Firestorm808 said:Consistantly 3-A from the OP? What are you talking about?

You have done nothing to refute my arguments. Do you not have any more arguments? If not, then I've won and my points stand.Firestorm808 said:Consistantly 3-A from the OP? What are you talking about?

That's not what we elaborated on at all. We describe why said feats do not scale Superman to universal level for varying reasons.Madotsuki24 said:All that was said for every single feat was "That's not a feat, he didn't punch them.", which he did btw, asking how a feat is universal, or just denying it by giving bad reasons.
Also, "It's a dream, not a feat.", lmao, does that mean Madotsuki from Yume Nikki gets all of her feats deleted and loses all of her tiers apart from 10-A? xD
Superman stops black holes that would destroy the universe, he can fight Lobo who destroyed the universe, he can fight and sometimes win against an avatar of Darkseid, he could finally end Doomsday who had the power to destroy the universe, I could go on and on. Maybe I'll depth into the comics even more and come back with a massive list on it.Firestorm808 said:That's not what we elaborated on at all.

I am not familiar with that character.
Unless Superman's and anyone else's dreams in DC are actual universes created and destroyed, then no.
Please elaborate on the reasonings that you do not agree with.
1. Wait, even if they weren't destroying the Universe/It was basically brittle (Post-Crisis and Golden Age), PC Supes would still be scaling to Golden Age Superman, who is above Universal.FanofRPGs said:@PowerToScale
1. The Superman Clash I covered on here https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/3889211#47
2. Firestorm debunked that, plus Cosmic Odyssey is written by Jim Starlin who tends to overrate or outscale his characters and ignore the status quo of the era, which at the time (1986-1994) was consistently tier 7 to 6.
3. Again, Pre-Zero Hour (ish, it's literally seconds before Zero Hour) which is consistently tier 7 to 6, but also Damage was amplifying it and Spectre was the one who put the final push of energy there
4. I discussed the Brainiac 13 thing here https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/3889211#87
5. Both Superman and Superboy Prime were depowered due to the Red Sun. Superman won out of pure skill, but Superboy Prime still literally murdered Kal-L outright with his brute strength. He also scales to characters typically portrayed waaaaay above Superman and Superman almost always just barely scrapes by in those fights due to being infinitely more intelligent and battle-savvy
6. Never heard the Dr. Sivana thing
7. Tesseract is just a cool name, but nothing to do with universal power as I understand
8. Never heard of the wonder woman lasso thing
9. Debunked the Red King here https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/3889211#126
10. The Imperiex Probes are certainly not universal, especially with scaling chains from Aquaman of all people. IDK about the Aquaman thing tho
11. I discussed it here https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/3889211#163
Cythonna always >>>> Superman, and Superman only did well when he was massively amped and she was massively weakened and still was losing when she revealed her true godly form when was still getting weakened regardless
12. Where is Thye Sting is dubiously canon and all just a dream in the first place. As Morning Star said, "The closest you could get to this would be one of the creators stating on twitter that it was an "illusion" like in Hindu mysticism and use some very generous logic to make it a true alternate reality. For obvious reasons, that wouldn't fly here, and nor should it."
13. I discussed the Aztek thing

And the Lord of Time:

14. IDK about the firestorm thing
15. Green Lantern scaling is inconsistent. For example, Green Lanterns are portrayed scalingwise far above Supes and the entire league, sometimes just a bit weaker but still more powerful potentially. One story by Morrison has the GL halt the entire antimatter Crime Syndicate with a construct and they couldn't break it. They are all 100% equal to the JLA
16. Power of the cosmos is vague and I discussed the Starman one:
https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/3889211#61 https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/3889211#63
The only ones I am iffy about and IDK is the Dr. Sivana thing, Wonderwoman creating timelines, and I will check the GL and Power of the Cosmos thing too. Also Aquaman destroying a universe???
Only Marvel is more incosistent.Madotsuki24 said:Yeah, that's the problem with DC, it's inconsistent. Too many outliers and parts where it's straight up PIS happen often, in fact, it's one of the most inconsistent franchises of all time... If there's one thing I would fix in DC, it would be inconsistencies.
I personally think that's for the best.Antvasima said:Should we close this thread, and let Firestorm808, PrinceOfTheMorning, and FanofRPGs handle this issue in peace on their own?
Scaling is also hard because IIRC a lot of these "65 Feats" are him scaling to a different character's Universal feats, when all the character's feats are their only ones, making them outliers.Madotsuki24 said:Yeah, that's the problem with DC, it's inconsistent.

Golden Age Superman was well past his prime and frankly I don't like how we deal with Earth-1 Supes. He should have a varies key instead because he is so inconsistent it's off the charts and the Superman Kal-L fights in one issue is completely different from the big-bang tanking Supes seen later on. Plus IIRC, most of Kal-L's fights/times against Kal-El was in the silver age, not bronze age, before all the crazy universal stuff. Now Bronze Age is 2/3 as strong as Silver Age, but my point is that Golden Age Superman shouldn't scale to Silver Age Superman's highest end because SA/BA Supes is ridiculously inconsistent.Ehnkr2beboh said:1.

As for the rest, you really know your sh*t.
I'd say at least 4-B, possibly 3-A to Low 2-CMadotsuki24 said:So would it be like this?
Varies from 4-B to at least 3-A, possibly Low 2-C
And that even works scaling wise since High 4-C and 4-B are pretty close... godamn it's hard to justify Superman being 3-A, which sucks because Post Crisis Supes is my favorite version of him.FanofRPGs said:yes
Also I'm pretty sure Golden Age Superman is past his prime or they ignored many of his silver/bronze age appearances. Infinite Crisis thematically recognizes Silver Age as a chaotic and lawless overpowered era that is beyond what post crisis can think of and Golden Age as an idealistic simpler time before the convolution seen in either Silver/Bronze Age and Post Crisis. In a thematic sense, I.E that these are metatextually different worldviews, it would make more sense if Kal-L is isolated to just his Golden Age feats.
No. We're just saying the one who fought Post-Crisis Supes was the 4-C one. Do you not see the key on his page?Adem Warlock69 said:So we downgrading Superman (Original a.k.a Golden age)?
Maybe, but that's not this subject. Maybe High 4-C, though, and either way 4-C vs 4-B being close makes sense to me, due to GA Supes' hax IIRC.Adem Warlock69 said:So that key is getting upgraded to 4-B?
