You forgot Hyperion :).
Captain Marvel, too.
That’s Hyperions.
There’s also Astro City’s Samaritan.
Let’s see…Vartox is by far the most powerful, but he is also an idiot.
Nah, I’ll still give it to Var. Even given his stupidity, even the pre-Crisis superman never beat him outright.
I’d add in Astonishman, Atlas and the Sentry. On the evil side, there’s Ultraman.
Speaking of incredibly powerful and incredibly stupid – Captain Everything from the graphic novel normalman.
Since we’re apparently still adding contenders for the title, how about Omni-Man and his son Invincible from Image’s Invincible? Or perhaps Apollo from The Authority?
Don’t forget Mon-El (aka Valor).
And there’s CoreFire from Soon I Will Be Invincible.
I don’t care much so long as Gladiator gets pasted.
(Marvel has a lot of fun with ersatz Supermen: besides Gladiator of the stupid OMAC hair, they have the Sentry–who is Superman, kinda–& Ultragirl the Kree messiah)
Gladiator is significantly faster than anyone of them. He speedblitzes all of them for the win.
Sorry Foolsguinea but if we are going just by feats and powersets then Gladiator in a massive curbstomp.
It was only a one-shot, but there’s the Saint from The Pro.
Captain Marvel was not off-brand! He was “alternative.” Sometimes he was a lot more fun.
(OK, the Marvel Captain Marvel was kinda low-rent.)
Captain Mar-Vell, actually.
Gladiator is not significantly faster than pre-Crisis Vartox, who regularly made INTERGALACTIC commutes just to hook up with cute redheads.
If the DC, pre-Crisis Captain Marvel’s in the mix, though, and he’s fighting in the Earth-S universe, he owns the lot of them.
I think we need to throw in Artie, the strongest man in the world. I mean, the dude fought an ocean. No small feat by any means.
No he really is a lot faster. He moves so fast that he can actually move through time. At one point, he casually interacts with Reed Richards (not flying mind you) when Richards was wearing a belt that allowed him to avoid the effects of a time dialation bubble whose affect meant that one second was the equivilent of several weeks.
I’m awarer of Vartox and Gladiator is faster. He’s also faster than even PC Captain Marvel.
Gladiator speedblitz for the win.
Alan Moore era Supreme takes Gladiator. We’re talking the last stories of the real Silver Age Superman, here.
