We’ve all heard Star Destroyer vs Enterprise D by now. Those are fine. Hearing the ones that are gonna be overpowered. That’s cool.

I’m just wondering if anyones found any interesting comparisons of different types of tech or different tactics.

Alternatively just your favorite from Star Trek in general. Mine has to be the Swarm vs Enterprise in Star Trek: Beyond. Heartbreaking but beautiful.

    Depends on what iteration of Superman we’re talking about. A lot of writers will argue his skill set is telepathy based, but he’s unaware of it. If he were to become aware of his telepathic ability he’d be like Doctor Manhattan levels of godlike. When he stops a plane, he distributes the weight over the whole body instead of the single point of contact with his hand, otherwise the plane would crumble under the pressure of him trying to stop it. His heat vision is him heating up the particles in his line of sight, same with x-ray vision. Superman has a basically unlimited power ceiling, and it mostly depends on his emotional state - when he gets more angry he can do crazy things, we’re talking about outrunning the Flash kinds of crazy things.

      outrunning the Flash kinds of crazy things.

      I love when they show Superman is above mere human superheroes. The best part of Justice League was when Supes saw Flash when he was fighting the others. Imagine being Flash thinking you’re the fastest thing on earth and superman just turns and looks at you when you’re tapping into the speed force.

      Well, that makes it boring however, if he can do literally anything like a god. Both comics and anime have a wild power creep anyway. So yes it’s important to pick the iterations of either, and that’s so fun.

        He doesn’t though. He’s usually pulling punches like Spider-Man. Lois Lane keeps his humanity in check, and when she dies he goes berserk. Batman’s checkmate plan for this involved bringing in another Lois Lane from a different timeline/universe to talk Superman down. I want to say it was Superman: Doomsday that this all happened in. Lois dies with child and Superman goes berserk after getting attacked by Doomsday, eventually doing the classic Laser-Lobotomy.
