Of course, Spiderman would likely be smart enough to bring some Kryptonite.

Sorry for the Soulja Boy reference. I'm sick of that song too.

Given the rampant availability of kryptonite for just about any villain to get for their criminal behavior, I would have to say that even a Drunk commie of a noble Hobo could beat Superman. :p

Spiderman.

He has faced and defeated foes considerably more powerful than him numerous times. How many times has Superman faced anything more powerful than him? Two, maybe three times?

Spiderman knows how to outwit stronger foes. *nod*

I also know how to outwit more powerful foes. :)

A groin kick will drop anybody. :)

Superman, because he is a 2D character who is invincible and can't be defeated.

A relic of the 50s, that is.

Ahh, but can you match his quips? Besides, Spidey's fairly innovative. He'll come out with a soap gun soon enough. And what will happen to LG then hmm?

So you refer to yourself as nobody? :p

Well, eventually it'll even drop me. I simply have built up a tolerance over the years. :(

Ah, but you referred to "A groin kick" indicating singular. *nitpick*

Although interestingly, not one super hero I can think of actually uses such a tactic. The only exception to the rule was when MJ Parker subsequently defeated the Chameleon with a groin strike, but she isn't a super hero.

Although it did lead to some amusing speculation at the Daily Bugle as to whether MJ Parker was Spider "Man", with much incredulity on Jonah's part when he expressed the obvious differences in physique ^^

Some incarnations of the Dark Knight have been pretty dirty, actually. Refer to the "Dark Knight Returns" and "Dark Knight Strikes Back" era material.

I'm pretty sure Judge Dredd has used such tactics on more than one occasion.

to Tedthehunter: there is such a thing as using the poll option too much. HAve you in fact created a thread that wasn't a silly poll?

Spider-man's powers are somewhat closer to making scientific sense than Superman's. Admittedly the difference is relative and Spider-man is still ridiculously far away from reality, but because he's closer, he wins out.

Actually, there are quite a few. The Punisher seems to aim low quite often. But nothing compares to Lobo.

Here is my favorite example:

To set the scene, Lobo is dead and has moved on to the afterlife. After.... convincing the powers that be that it is in their best interests to reincarnate him, they do so... as a woman. Upon his second death, he confronts the Administrator of the Afterlife and makes it clear he wants to go back to his original body or else. The Administrator reminds him that they are all dead there and Lobo can't kill them.

Suffice to say, Lobo's debate techniques earned him his reincarnation. :D

Superman would win without even breaking a sweat. He can move almost as fast as the Flash, and is stronger than the Hulk. He'll stomp spidey into a pile of goo.

Please do not confuse the emo Spider-Man of Spider-Man 3 with the Spider-Man in the comics.

The first they meet, Superman kicks the crap of Spider-Man.
Then they meet again and end in a stalemate.
Then they face off again and are interrupted by a villain that threathen everything and they team up to fight the bad guy.

Have you fellows never read these basic comics?

Superman. He can make up powers as he needs them. Spiderman can always do the same things, but some of his things randomly switch from being powers to being SCIENCE(See: web fluid).

Nice. Though I feel the Punisher's completely dead-pan approach here (http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1156/973728532_cdad630e20_o.jpg) should win him some points back.

Spider-Man's abilities become mostly useless outside a built-up urban environment really - Superman could throw him out into a wide open plain and just toy with him all afternoon before cooking him alive with his eye-beams or some other needlessly OTT power. :P

Short of Spiderman having some Kryptonite on hand, there is not much of a chance for Spiderman... Superman is invulnerable to anything Spiderman could do.

Because he's a dick (http://www.superdickery.com) and those kind of people always win.

For those who can't read it: I'll tell you why I'll never marry you Lana, or you Lois! Who wants a wife so stupid she doesn't realize I'm Superman when I take off my clark Kent Glasses?

Depends on one thing, and one thing only:

How much Kryptonite, and what kind, does Spidey have access to?

Yeah! And the point is, the two heroes come from a different background.

Superman has been invented in WWII and was originally fighting Nazis. Then, they invented some crap story about him coming from Far Far Krypton.

On the second hand, Spider-man's author intended to make a metaphor of teenage through the hero (seeing his body changing, for instance).

Do you humans not know that I have already defeated (or "pwned", as you humans somtimes call it) the son of Jor-El? And, furthermore, this "Spider-Man" will be no more of a match for me than the son of Jor-El was! Come to me, Spider-Man, if you dare! I defy you! Come! Come and kneel before Zod!...ZOD!

So, you hate the son of Jor-El too, do you? Take my hand, and swear eternal loyalty to Zod.
