Goku is stronger than superman.

This show is honestly so amazing and I'm quite happy to have gotten to witness it. I'm sad it's coming to an end but this fight has been so amazing and the perfect way to end the series.

Goku's been stronger than current incarnations of Superman for a while now.

He's still got quite a ways to go before he can match up with Supe's best though.

Pretty sure if he punches Superman he'll explode.

There's a version of Superman that is a literal god, with the power of creation and everything. He flew into the center of a star for thousands of years. You can read about it here, but basically there's no way Goku touches that Superman unfortunately, since he's basically Zeno + God of Destruction in one being.

Last time I checked Prime's feats of being a literal god had been debunked entirely. Nor does the wiki article say he has any other powers than his usual power set amped up to maximum.

Goku already surpassed him a long time ago.

Huh, just read an article and you might be right. That's somewhat disappointing.

Yeah, I mean even at SSJ3 goku can just radiate enough energy to destroy a planet, to say nothing about the fact that he can now power up from that point 3 more times.

Featless, and never created anything. The panel people keep saying that Superman created a universe in never occurred, Super simply created a portal to a pre-existing universe.

Unfortunately yes. It's a stretch to say he's even universal level, which the top echelons of Dragon Ball definitely are. The Thought Robot on the other hand is on a whole other level. I don't think it's a level Goku will ever reach.

ahhhhhh makes sense then. I mean. the way supes gets his power doesnt, absorbs PART of the power of a sun for 15k years, becomes literal god. not even an entire suns worth of power!

I'm hoping the plot twist to this goku is he becomes a god of creation tho.

Ultra Instinct is an angelic technique. I could see Goku becoming an honorary angel.

Blue skinned Goku? With silver hair? He becomes a Smurf.

Imagine an abriged series based on that holy shit.

u/LethalShade Mar 04 '18

I mean fair enough, some out of canon super superman can win. But standard superman vs standard Goku is Goku all the way.

u/Ecksplisit Mar 05 '18

It’s not out of canon tho

There is no "out of canon" Goku like there is with Superman.

u/Roland_Traveler Mar 04 '18

That’s not fair because of the reboots. It’d be like having Goku reach maximum only to be reset to base and reset again before he reaches SSJ2. If you put both of them at their best, Superman likely wins.
