Kamehameha vs Heat Vision - Battles

#1 Posted by Dark Cloud™ (1410 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago - Show Bio

Goku's Kamehameha vs Superman's Heat Vision!

Not sure whether this would fall into the Anime vs Comic category, but I wanted to see a discussion about which ability is more effective and why, and which one is more preferred than the other. A common trait is that each technique intensifies as the user grows in power, though that is debatable with each incarnation of the user.

Can a Kamehameha wave counter Heat Vision beams or vice versa? Can the Heat Vision beams exceed the force of the Kamehameha wave in terms of raw power? Questions, comments, and criticism is welcome.

Kamehameha, when it comes to destruction and the potential, and the Heat Vision, when it comes to the speed and the usability.

The Kamehameha cast takes 2-3 episodes, while the Heat Vision can be used instantly. I'm pretty sure that the DB people lack the durability to survive the intensitity of concentrated Heat Vision. It would simply cut through them. I imagine something like that also happening if the Heat Vision faces the Kamehameha. It would simply go through, since I consider them as two separate kinds of energy. The Kamehameha is pure energy, where the Heat Vision is much more.
But the Kamehameha is VASTLY more powerful. During the Cell arc Goku would have been able to destroy the entire planet with his Kamehameha, even though he was by far not the strongest guy on the battlefield at that time. Can the Heat Vision easily cut through planets and making them burst into pieces? I've never seen something like that before. There are some neat Heat Vision feats, but something like that would be simply too amazing. Is there such a feat?

The Kamehameha is stronger by feats but Supes heat Visions has More Potential It is hotter then the Core of the Sun meaning it exceed's 10,000,000 Degree's with that kind of temp should be able to bust a planet.

The scan.

In this comic it states Supes heat Vision can not be measured meaning its hotter then the sun so yes Heat Vision is a Planet buster.

The Point is Superman Heat Vision can Cover a Planet and since it can and it is hotter then the sun that means it can melt/bust one.

Note: The Kamehameha Wins But Supes heat Vision is no joke and is very underrated.

I know I am just using logic also when has The Kamehameha bust a planet? they said it can but it never bust one we are using logic Thus with Logic Supes can bust a Planet with heat Vision since it can covers it and is hotter then the sun so why can't it? And Why would Supes want to destroy a Planet?

You're responding to something I never said or even implied. I made no mention about the Kamehameha destroying a planet, as I know absolutely nothing about the Kamehameha. Nowhere did I ever make a case for the Kamehameha being more powerful than heat vision. I simply said Superman is incapable of destroying a planet with heat vision, which is true.

we are using logic Thus with Logic Supes can bust a Planet with eat Vision since it can cover it and is hotter then the sun so why can't it? And Why would Supes want to destroy a Planet?

This is broken logic. If Superman increases the blast radius of his heat vision to such a vast scale that it engulfs a world, then the power of the energy itself is decreased as it becomes spread incredibly thin. Whereas, if all the power and force of his heat vision is compressed into a smaller beam, then it all hits a target directly, causing more devastating effects as the entirety of its energy connects all at once. When Superman's heat vision was "hotter than the core of the sun," was the blast as wide as it was when he heated a planet? If not, then there is no amalgamation of the two feats. Furthermore, Superman's heat vision being "hotter than the core of the sun" seems radically inconsistent. I know of only one example where this has been stated; on the other hand, I have seen numerous other examples where his heat vision is significantly less powerful, even when he fires it in an enraged state. He heated a planet. So? The planet's integrity and its life were undamaged. His heat vision was "hotter than the core of the sun." So? It had a reduced blast radius and is subject to hyperbole.

When Superman actually demonstrates the capacity to destroy a planet with his heat vision, then I will take that as a possibility. Until then, there are countless instances where his heat vision was nowhere near that level.

In the sense of his blast radius? Sure. For destructive capacity? Not at all.

I've never seen Superman destroy a planet, but on one occassion it was stated that when Superman and Martian Manhunter combined their heat vision it created a heat pulse that rivaled the birth of a star, there was another occasion where Superman was able to expand a compacted white dwarf star with his heat vision.

Do you have scans or issue numbers for either of these? Never seen them before. The previous also would constitute a dual feat, which lessens its significance for Superman solitarily.

@dccomicsrule2011: And again, that only has so much consistency backing it. If someone could provide multiple showings where his heat vision reached that level of power or a level comparable to it, then it might carry more weight. But as I said, I only know of one example of that as opposed to myriads of others where his heat vision lacked that degree of power.

@Death Certificate: I understand, but barring the blast radius of his heat vision, I have no idea why people treat that one showing as particularly impressive and in some cases as an indication that he can destroy a planet with his heat vision (this is not directed at you in particular). For that matter, when Superman heated the plant, didn't he only heat the surface of it, not the world in whole? Because if so, that serves as even less of an indication that he could accomplish that much destruction with HV. It would be like me saying that Palpatine can destroy an entire planet because his wormholes can tear the surfaces off worlds. It makes no sense.

KMC Respect threads often give people that incapacitation of superman, destroying a planet due to some (not all) up-loaders of scans giving statements without any extra explaintion, leaving a bare bones guesses.

I have seen the scan before. It's a pretty description. It hardly validates that he can destroy a planet.

Powering a machine as a feat of energy projection has never sat well with me, but I can understand why people use those. The problem I have is that often times, characters with energy output nowhere near necessary to perform at the level of whatever machine they empower still somehow manage to power those machines, which comes off as strange to me. Now, obviously Superman could never move a planet with heat vision, since that has nothing to do with its application, but the energy he puts into it is what allows it to do so.

"Hotter than the fire of Hades." Alright? Who said this exactly and what was their criteria for this description? And what exactly does that mean anyway? Hellfire is supposed to torture the spirit/soul of a person, right? So how can a physical energy emission be analogized with that?

Destroying an asteroid is a good feat, but that hardly compares to destroying a world. For that matter, I think it was either Power Girl or Supergirl who destroyed a meteorite the size of a state (which state, I forget) in JLA: The Titans, and they had help from another character (it might have been each other).

If you're scraping the bottom of the puttin cup, it should be relatively easy to give me a feat not dependent on a possibly character-driven or hyperoblized statement and instead a showing that actually bears resemblance in power to destroying a planet.

Ugh. I know what comic this was from. It was in a Superman/Batman story where Superman one-shots Despero with his heat vision. Problem is, Despero's durability to energy has never been very high, from what I have seen, and everyone knows Superman/Batman is garbage.

@dccomicsrule2011: All right.

@Dex_Starr: I just looked at Adventures of Superman #618, and the feat needs more context. For one, the star itself was small. I know Atom said that the more massive, the smaller it becomes, but he also said it only weighed about a hundred tons. Additionally, he said that the white dwarf star's energy was granting Superman power, just as a yellow star does. So Superman was amped in this showing to some degree. As well, the expansion of the star was not as much a result of his heat vision as a switching between his cold breath and his heat vision. Atom said that the shifting between hot and cold temperatures caused its expansion. So I have to disregard that because of these circumstances.

Though I do not know much about Heat Vision. I think Kamehameha wins either way. It was stated that SS1 Goku in Cell Saga could easily destroy the Earth with a fully powered Kamehameha, and that version of Goku is nowhere near as strong as later version (though I really don't know if GT is non-cannon).

Aren't anime vs comic threads not allowed?

A couple others have dictated it so, but it's not an Anime vs Comic thread in terms of characters. It's about character abilities, basically just putting them side-by-side to see which one weighs out the other. I look at this as, "Would you rather have so and so powers," instead of addressing the subtle reference.
