Yeah, think about that one.

Superman alone has some crazy shit feats:

-splits ocean with laser vision:

-flies faster than light, splits a moon by flying through it:

-holds a small black hole in his hand:

thats just a few of em, the one i remember most is where he pulls an entire solar system of planets with a giant chain o_O
 
I love how in that "Supes and Wonder Woman pull the Earth by rope" page, the writers realize how little sense it makes and handwave it by saying "Nah don't worry about it, Batman took care of it somehow".
 
What do you guys think of Franklin Richards? He's a kid and already considered on the same level as the celestials.

Franklin is a mutant who possesses the power to warp reality, i.e., to make any thought or desire come to fruition, even up to a cosmic scale; conjunctively, he is able to rearrange the molecular structure of matter. In a remarkable display of power, Franklin subconsciously created his own pocket universe, encompassing a virtual replica of Earth-616. As a result, several cosmic entities, including Galactus, Eternity, and Infinity, as well as Omniversal Guardian Roma and Omniversal Majestrix Opal Luna Saturnyne, began to take notice of Franklin's tremendous gifts,[33] going so far to describe him as a "being whom the Celestials felt was on par with themselves."[34]

In addition to reality and molecular manipulation, Franklin has vast psionic powers that have manifested as telepathy, telekinesis, energy blasts of concussive force, precognition, and astral projection. Being a child, however, Franklin's abilities are restricted to an extent by his limited control. Moreover, it remains unclear what power levels Franklin will ultimately achieve as an adult, as several future incarnations from alternate realities have been shown to vary in power.

In terms of unrealized potential, Franklin is generally considered to be the most powerful Earth-bound mutant in the Marvel Universe

"Here's another way we could phrase the title of video, just to put things in perspective.

"Hulk versus Hulk...and Flash...and Cyclops...and Iceman...all of which are wrapped in neat little package known as Superman."

i got a real good laugh from that.

franklin is one of the many broken characters. and like other omega level mutants, is the reason he isnt used much.
 
martian manhunter is actually stronger than supes by a longshot as long as they don't put in that "fire" weakness that was explained to be a barrier in his own mind from him destroying the entire planet out of rage. The only person that could stop him was the elastic guy(awesome series, sad to see martian manhunter nerfed again)

One of the few things I like about that 'Justice League: Doom' movie that came out a couple of months ago was when Superman offered to move the Earth out of the way of something that was going to damage it. Batman says something to the effect of "We don't even have enough time for me to list all the reasons why that would be a bad idea."
 
Superman could fit all the tectonic plates back together if Earth fell apart and he could fly really fast to control all the weather side-effects

yes, Superman is also Captain Planet
 
He's an indestructible man with an indestructible and automatically adaptable suit. Reboot Superman is also potentially capable of countering the Anti-life Equation by singing the reverse frequency, like he did in Final Crisis.

However, he was ignorant to a cadre of supervillains running a Kryptonite blackmarket inside his brain for X number of years, so maybe some things can get past him

WTF? How did this work, logistically?
 
I think Hulk's unlimited power potential makes him more interesting, especially when used as a supporting character inside the bigger Marvel universe.

In the Earth X future (I think), he becomes Galactus until he basically stopped believing it.

To say he's the most-powerful really is an understatement.

Hulk has a healing factor that puts Wolverine's to shame.

And its much, much faster.

Also for a cheap character? Red Hulk.

I can only say that the cheapest way to become a superhero nowadays is through laboratory experiments. However, while it is a cheap way to become a hero, it has also become the norm when fabricating a superhuman.
 
There's 52 pages of this so excuse me if it were asked but ... is She-Hulk this strong (as in, Hulk Strong)?

No, Hulk is in his own level. But She Hulk can get stronger by working out in her human form.

Hulk's youngest daughter actually gets weaker if she gets mad.

No.

Red She-Hulk kicked her ass, Hulk has kicked her ass, and Red Hulk could've killed her.

She's pretty strong, but toe-to-toe, she can't hang with Hulk, Thor, Hyperion, Sentry.
Hercules is closer to her level.

I know Red-Hulk is as strong as Green Hulk, but not as smart.
I saw both She-Hulk and Wolverine get their asses handed to them by Green Hulk in the comic special Wolverine vs Hulk.
Green Hulk is way stronger.

Sigh, no wonder people think of "Female versions of major male heroes" as disposable knock-offs. :/

and ...

How the hell does that even work?

It goes against the basic idle of adrenaline ...

During "World War Hulk" it was stated by Dr. Stephen Strange that Ghost Rider might be equally as powerful as the "Green Scar" persona of Hulk (actually it is stated that Ghost Rider is the most powerful entity created, and that its human host only served as a "safety switch" to contain the power) and could defeat him, but wouldn't because Ghost Rider only defended the innocent and the Illuminati wasn't innocent.

Lyra has the standard powers of a "hulk" with one major flaw: the more anger and rage consumes her, the weaker she gets. Noting that she was genetically created, this flaw could have been implemented on purpose by her superiors. However, her connection with gamma radiation seems to be incredibly deep. Since gamma radiation flows through everything, when she calms herself she can enter a trance-like state in which she perceives everything as a part of her, allowing her to flow easily in combat. In practical application this allows her to see attacks coming, detect weak points and battle more effectively with seemingly no effort.

After World War Hulks, Bruce Banner created a sort of antidote based on S.P.I.N.-tech for Lyra's anger-driven power drain. The concoction also allowed Lyra to change from Hulk to human form at will.
