I doubt you could prove that.

dnno1 said:Even though he did let off on these villians no one can be trully certain that he didn't hold back some of his strength in those battles. The fact that these are living beings and that he is sworn not to kill implies that we will alway hold back some of his power to prevent that.

Guyverjay said:LOL hold back against Doomsday and Darkseid??
(I'm not even going to mention the Anti-monitor)
I think not![]()

Guyverjay said:For the love of god have you actually read Death of Superman, Hunter prey or Doomsday wars?
dnno1 said:Doomsday didn't die. In fact he made a debut in IC #7.

Again, you miss the point
Doomsday doesn't live bncause supes holds backs, he lives because thats what he was created to do. Supes for all intents and purposes KILLED doomsday in the first encounter, supes dies as well. Anyone with a brain can see he gave everything he had to stop dooms. In hunter prey supes gets his ass kicked . He's not holding back because if he does he knows he will die, he BARELY survives. Wave rider gets rid of Doomsday for superman.The same deal in Doomsday wars. Doomsday brainiac handed the entire JLA and orion their asses. They tricked Dooms into a teleporter trapping him there. Dooms was more powerful than supes in all those arcs. Why the hell would ANYONE hold back on a foe that physically outclasses them in every way![]()

dnno1 said:The point is that Superman IS holding back. Notice that each time he faces Doomsday, who is supposed to be stronger each time he faces him, it takes less and less time for Superman to defeat him. When they first met it took a crossover maxi series to defeat him. In this recent battle, albeit with the help of the GA Superman, Doomsday was defeated in one splash page. That is an indication to me that either Superman has gotten more powerful over the years or he has been holding back, which is the point here. Also keep in mind that pure brute strenght is not a total measure of your true power.

I kid. Decent art though.
Guyverjay said:He NEVER defeats Doomsday (pre OWAW) by himself, he always gets help because he can't do it by himself.
First fight he goes all out and has the justice leagues help = result both DIE
Second fight he does NO DAMAGE to doomsday AT ALL even though dooms has had to fight Darkseid and Supes has a motherbox and Wave riders help. Supes gets poisoned,his arm is effortlessly broken and he is concussed. Result Wave rider transports dooms to the end of time
Third fight, he gets his ass competed kicked up and down, resorts to trickery to get brainics mind out of doomsday body. The entire JLA gets taken apart by Doomsday single handedly. Result trick dooms into a telporter keeping him in stasis
In NONE of these fights is superman holding back (with the exception of a part Doomsady wars because of Lana's baby), the narration, supes thoughts and dialogue can confirm this.
You've got it the wrong way round, Dooms has been weakened. After being destroyed by Imperiex he came back as a complete *****. Unless you think Supes power has gone up so much that he can effortlessly batter a being who could take out GL,WW,Flash, Orion, Plastic man and J'onn by himself?
Please... bloodlusted no holding back Superman LOST to Wonderwoman![]()
Guyverjay said:Such a load of crap, everything is completely wrong
dnno1 said:Such is reality. It doesn't matter though becaus a win is a win no matter how you slice it.
dnno1 said:You know you are always free to make your own story.
Guyverjay said:..and how is that even remotely relevent to whether he holds back or not?
But you're right a wins a win and no holding back Superman LOST to Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman had her ass handed to her so easily in doomsday wars, its hilarious
Guyverjay said:Wow thanks for the heads up, I never knew I had free will![]()

dnno1 said:That's the other intangeable that I was also trying to bring across, popularity. Although it would seem impossible, Superman was suposedly beaten by Venom, who was a very popular character at that time (and probably still is). I belive that Superman is more popular that Son Goku (just look at this poll) and that has to be a major factor in a battle between the two.
yep.
theres always a couple guys who base
their posts on whos more popular
not only popular but less childlike and borderline idioticsaiyan jedi said:yep.
