Hey, there are so many versions on Superman, I'd like to use modern official canon Supes vs official Goku (Toriyama's, aka no GT), including Super Saiyan God form. I'm pro Goku, however, I'm not closed minded & I'm here to be informed. I've had a few different debates on youtube & screwattack, but none of them have been able to come to a conclusion. I felt I won them, but no Superman fan has conceded either. I was told to come here, as you all would make a better debate & be able to "school" me. I have absolutely no problem with being schooled. For example, I've already learned some of the DC villains are far more threatening to the universe than DBZ villains. So, first I'd like to list everything I've debated with a few other Superman fans so far. Also, most of the info I give on SSG Goku can be found at dragonball.wikia.c0m/wiki/Battle_of_Gods and the following links within that article. Most debates I've seen on here downplay Goku, no one explains what he can do. People also like to say he hasn't proved he's MFTL despite Toriyama saying they are MFTL post frieza saga. They say they've shown no feats in MFTL, but everytime they fight, no one can see them. WE can see them because we need to in order to enjoy the anime, that doesn't mean they're not fighting at MFTL. It'd be silly of them to explain they're moving at MFTL speeds when fighting if their opponents are doing the same. How would you want them to prove it? Anyways, its proven in the new movie regardless...
So, Superman is obviously stronger in pushing/pulling movements than SSG Goku, as it's shown him bench pressing the weight of the Earth for 5 days i believe. However, like in real life, a guy who bench presses 500lbs can't punch as hard as Mike Tyson who only did bodyweight exercises in his prime. The most proven to me that Superman has done is bust a small planet with the same density of our moon, afterwhich he fainted. I believe he used the Infinite Mass Punch to do that? However, anyone that MFTL can do that punch according to the science given on how it works correct? I'll get back to this later. I've also seen that he lands punches that could "topple mountains" and it shook the earth as he pounded Hel down into the planet's crust. Superman's beaten the likes of Anti monitor, albiet with the help of the whole DC universe it seemed like, and other mighty foes. My take on why DC villains are more dangerous than DBZ villains however, deals with DC villains individual powers (such as wielding big bangs). In DBZ, villains and heroes all virtually have the same powers, just different power levels. In comparison, it would be as if all Superman's enemies were tougher & tougher Zods each time. So, who Superman has beat doesn't relate to his own power. Know what I mean? Kind of hard to explain. If Superman beats a universe buster, it doesn't mean he can bust a universe. Usually the universe busters in DC simply have that ability, it doesn't correlate to their fighting strength & ability in which Supes can match (Anti monitor an exception). So my view, is that if I can prove Goku is on par or better than Supes, Goku could swap places with him in the DC universe and beat the same people Superman has beat. Therefore using comparisons of who beat who is kind of irrelevant. However, in DBZ, since the villains are simply tougher "Zods" to our "Supermen", the power does relate to Goku's own power. If two are equally powerful, they are capable of the same amount of destruction. Another note, I heard Superman escaped a black hole, they have also done that in the DBZ movie "Dead Zone".
For SSG Goku, I will also be giving a lot of information on Bills- the God of Destruction. I do this because SSG is about equivalent in power with only a 10% difference and he was asked if he'd like to be the next God of Destruction implying he could cause the same amount of destruction. So, regarding Superman busting moons, Bills physically busted many moons back-to-back in his realm with little effort. Goku, at only SS3, punched a hole through King Kai's planet which has 10x the gravity/density of Earth despite being smaller. Also only at SS3, Goku's power shook the entire Earth and his power was felt across the universe to Supreme Kai's realm (screwattack.c0m/news/response-debunking-gokus-feats-and-misconceptions). Bills on the other hand KO'd SS3 Goku in two hits. Speaking in past tense, they mention Bills has destroyed solar systems in an instant & Piccolo says the galaxy would cease to exist because Bills would destroy it (however I believe Piccolo's statement to be a hyperbole). Supreme Kai asks how many stars will be destroyed this time, after Bills awakes, so I don't need to mention how easy planets are. If the IMP hits with the force of a white dwarf star, and Bills/Goku could destroy stars, what does that tell you? However, I've still only seen that IMP take out a moon. At only SS2 Goku fired a kamehameha energy attack that would blow up the Earth. Bills/Whis (his master) travel MFTL across the universe to reach Earth in only 26min, so Goku could as well & technically use an IMP (though he has no need). Goku also has instant transmission aka teleportation. Unlike how the youtube video claimed he needed to concentrate to use it, that is false. What it failed to mention, was that Goku was moving many people at once and needed to know where to go. In battle, it takes no concentration whatsoever and he uses it many times back-to-back to cut angles & strike repeatedly against Bills during their fight. Also during their fight, they fight THROUGH the earths crust, punching eachother & busting through it as easy as moving through air. Seemingly easier than Supes hitting Hel down into it. They later take the fight into outer space. The SSG transformation has a time limit, but it's irrelevant, as Goku absorbs the power into his own so that he is just as powerful as SSG at his normal SS form now. All the feats Bills can do, Goku is now capable of.
Superman's durable enough to survive to colliding planets & then some. Well, Goku has survived blasts that have multi-planet busting ability, so I assume he could too. He did escape Namek blowing up when he was only SS1. Plus he took punches from a moon busting Bills. Superman has trained in kryptonian martial arts, but Goku has trained under many different masters & Gods and he trains every single day of every year. I'm very confident he's the better man when it comes to pure skill. In most comics I mostly see Supes using his hands & heat vision, I'm sure he does more though. Whereas Goku uses all of his limbs, including cutting angles, teleporting, & every power in his arsenal... constantly. Both Superman & Goku get stronger with time. Goku (and other saiyans) especially gets stronger after a defeat, the worse they are beaten the stronger they are when they heal (all they need to heal is a sinzu bean). That's why Vegeta once got beaten into within an inch of his life on purpose, so he'd be that much stronger when he healed up.
I'm sorry this was so long, but I was trying to include as much of the debates I've already had as possible. I'm very aware you could still teach me things that let me know how modern official canon Superman is stronger. I'd appreciate someone explaining to me more of his power that could beat official SSG Goku, just please remember what I've already pointed out. Can Superman hit harder than just busting a moon? Goku has. He's capable of MFTL across (at minimum) the galaxy (possibly universe) in 26min. Supes has heat vision, etc. Goku has energy attacks, etc. SSG Goku is also more powerful than any GT version, yet slightly weaker than Bills & Whis, which says something because he used a Universal Spirit Bomb in GT which gathered energy from the whole universe into one attack. Please, just help me out & inform me. Goku can whipe out a solar system ,etc. We can have a respectful debate. I just want to know who'd win and why. Hopefully, I've informed you all as well to the extent of Goku's power, as he has been majorly downplayed in most debates I've seen. Everything I've stated has been proven in the new movie, or done in the series.
