Just out of curiosity i was wonderin who would win if there was a gigantic tournament between every superhero. (excluding anime because from what i can tell they can have just about whatever power they want whenever they want)
my picks are ( in no particular order)
thor
cable
iceman
ghost rider

The only superheroes capable of taking anyone on are the ones whose struggles are so great they are often intergalactic. Off the top of my head, the greatest of these are:

Superman
Silver Surfer
Adam Warlock

Iceman? How could iceman beat Thor, or the Hulk, or anybody for that matter? And what of Superman?
And of course there's Prof X. He could probably beat anyone. Just take control of their minds and tell them to jump into a volcano or fly into the sun.

Green Lantern

Hal Jordan was my ideal of what a hero should be.

oh yeah and the black bolt add him to my earlier list

I think Superman would have a good chance but Iceman could kill him by freezing the blood in his body, but maybe not cuz Superman has his invunerability.
And Iceman pretty much can't die now AND can make miniature nitrogen bombs!!

As much as I love Green Lantern...he wouldn't win

As I have said before...

Freakazoid could beat anybody.

If Cable didn't have that techno-organic virus, he'd definately be a contender. On top of what you guys have I'd add the Phoenix, and Thanos (okay... so he's not REALLY a hero, but in the new comics I've seen for him, he's not AS evil). =P

Oh, and Beta Ray Bill, didn't he BEAT Thor? o.O

Me and some friends were discussing this not that long ago and we sorta figured out that no super hero could truly beat every other superhero.

The best we could come up with was a team consisting of spiderman and batman, even though hes not a super hero.

Question though, would Dante from Devil may cry count as a superhero?

The greatest has to be Superman. I mean, he can fly, he's invulnerable, he has that neat Xray and heat vision, and supercold breath, he can go backwards and forwards in time (by flying faster than the speed of light), he can fly into outer space without a space suit or oxygen, he can build anything, he's supersmart. I think Kryptonite exists just to keep him humble.

Yeah, but it's a battle between superheroes, which Superman is not, because he's a dick.

in my mind, the greatest 'superhero' in my book is Thunderstrike. he didn't want the power, he didn't want to be a hero. but it was thrust upon him and he took the responsibility. others looked down on him due to his reluctance as well as his lack of experience but he did what needed to be done... even at the cost of his life.

er.. hello!? Earthworm Jim!! Earthworm would spank the lot of them! and what of The Tick, eh?

That's the problem with Superman. He's TOO freakin' perfect/invincible. It just gets annoying.

lol, Thor is one of my paternal grandmother's ancestors

(no kidding... shows up as one of the forebears of the scandinavians and, hence, the House of Wessex.

this is neat and somewhat humorous:

it goes something like: Priam -- Thor --------- Woden (Odin) --- Wihtgils the Jute --- Hengest the Saxon --- Egbert/Alfred the Great et al.

Experts: How much of that is BS? Were Thor and Woden real people and, if so, were they the forebears of the first Kings of England?

Several years back during the 90s there was a series of comics
DC vs Marvel. Which pitted the two universes together because the two "Gods" were merging and fighting eachother for supremacy.

Marvel and DC have entirely different classes of superheroes, most of which are overpowered indestructibles.

Superman is not invulnerable. In the series of comics where he finally kills Doomsday he's hit with a blast with the force of several thousand nuclear reactors exploding at once, and he nearly died.

I think that the usage of 'nearly died' in the same sentence as 'the force of several thousand nuclear reactors exploding at once' speaks for itself.

*dies laughing at the inside joke*

Don't pretend like Earthworm Jim wouldn't spank the lot of them!sorry, but I got Hawkman, HawkGirl, Birdman, Black Canary, the Ocilot, Kilraven and other who would have him for lunch.

I think that the usage of 'nearly died' in the same sentence as 'the force of several thousand nuclear reactors exploding at once' speaks for itself.my problem with Superman.

in the beginning...
Superman was not invulerable, he was just hard to hurt. couldn't fly (able to LEAP tall buildings in a single bound) was fast but not that fast (faster than a speeding bullet, but not faster than light.) he had telescopic vision not x-ray.

then...
they made him Invulerable, gave him the ability to fly and all these super body functions... breath, hearing, X-ray vision...

then they realized that he was too powerful... oops, needs a weakness... Kryptonite... suddenly every crook and their grandpa's had the big K...

now he was wimpy, so they made Kryptonite poisonous to Humans... so now his only weakness was the big K as well as magic...

err... back to all powerful and no weakness... then they changed him to become a huge solar battery... yeah, the sun's radiation gives him his powers, so let's make him enviornmentally friendly...

I hate Superman.

woah woah woah superman.......superman is not going to win this kind of fight for one both thor and the silver surfer would kick his ass. they're both as powerful as he is if not more so also thor is magic and a way beter fighter(the dc/marvel crossovers are alwys biased towards superman thats why he always wins, except against batman which is dumb because at the end of the day he's just a smart bloke in a costume....sorry but it's true.)and the surfer can reorganise matter whoch means he could in effect turn an entire planet into kryptonite(overkill i know). a lot of people also seem to be referring to pre crisis superman he ain't that powerful any more in the sense that he is now KILLABLE and didnt he get defeated by hawkman recently point proven

Also i dont think i was too clear at the beginning of this thread (largely out of laziness) as i forgot to mention this is supposed to be like a tournament which would be broken up into rounds of one on one fights completly randomly selected

cable is also pretty much unaffected by his t-o virus at the moment as hr possess a portion of deadpools healing factor to keep it in check which gives him complete access to his powers

sure you can include dante i don't see why not... i have a feeling i might regret this but i'm standing by my no anime rule

and as for the thanos issue....no just cause he's less evil, that wouldn't be hard just cause he hasn't killed a third of the universe lately

Dr Strange.
'Cause he's so cool.

Flaming Carrot would kick all of their asses.

Howard the Duck...j/k

I have a (very) old issue of Inquest magazine which did a feature on this. It was basically their top-ten super heroes fighting out and then ranked from 1 to 10 for badassery, which 1 being the most badass. It featured (amongst others) the Hulk, Dr. Strange, Pre-Lightning Superman, Thor, Silver Surfer.

Silver Surfer came out on top, basically because he could fry anything with power cosmic. I believe Supes was second.

Flaming Carrot would kick all of their asses.Whoa! :eek: Someone else heard of the Flaming Carrot!!! Yo Friend!

got a question on Superman... I mean he's got super breath, super vision (X-ray, telescoptic, heat...) super senses right?

Does he have Super Flatulence?

I mean, can you picture Clark, at his computer at the daily planet and suddenly his chair disintergrates and everyone on the floor sufforcates as the air suddendly becomes unbreathable? :D

If its a tournament and Dante is allowed then im going to have to go with him. So as long as luck holds and he doesnt end up fighting Wolverine he'll be fine.

The Scarlet Witch would pwn all.

Squirrel Girl! :D

She is a mutant that appeared in an Iron Man annual pretty much to fill space. She tried to convince Iron Man to take her as her sidekick. Then Dr. Doom struck. It looked grim for our heroes, until Dr. Doom was mauled by an angry mob of attack squirrels. :p

This is NO joke! They really did this!

The PHANTOM! Because he can cloud men's minds! "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?"

"Da shadow do!" :D

BTW ... WTF is a "hand-to-hand gunfight???" :confused:

Dammit-the Phantom (http://www.leconcombre.com/serials/phantom/Phantom-chap12.jpg) and the Shadow (http://mlpeters.com/The%20Shadow.jpg) are not the same character.

It is the Shadow who, while in the orient, learned the ability to cloud mens minds and is in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy man about town. Only his companion, the lovely Margo Lane knows his true identity. As much as I love the Shadow, The Ghost Rider is a demonic spirit of vengence whose not likely to be hypnotised, and that's just on that dudes list.

The Phantom is a lineage of heroes that all portray the same guy to give the impression that The Phantom can't be killed and he operates mostly against pirates while The Shadow dealt with early 30s fear of orientalism.

And 'The Shadow do' is the punchline to a racist joke.
