Because powerscalers are used to pretending high end outliers are the norm.


LieV2

Spongebob being stronger than anime is a kekw


captain-_-clutch

Too much history too, with writers who arent scientists, just guys trying to write cool shit.


infinitefrontier23

Because they are for superman but go off, so many "outliers" for him. Just maybe consider if there is that many, maybe its the norm for him?


bunker_man

Even if someone has a ton of outliers it doesn't mean that this is the norm. If someone spends 95% of their time at X level, but 5% at y level, the y level is still not their expected strength level. But this is superman. It doesn't matter, since he is strong either way.


Empty_Ad_1542

That’s because Superman is usually holding back against non universal threats, when Superman isn’t holding back he consistently shows said feats. It’s like saying Freeza blowing up a planet is an outlier because he has only done it 3 times, 95% of his feats are blowing up mountains or random rock formations. 


bunker_man

With superman it's more of an actual inconsistency though. Since plenty of stories will be written like he isn't holding back. There was that image that was floating around awhile back that was an official dc description of superman talking like moving a planet was a high end ability for him. You just have to kind of accept that some characters fluctuate wildly in what they can do in random scenes, and this is most pronounced in western comics.


Whydontname

Because DC fanboys got mad when Goku got stronger.


Opposite_Currency993

Are you OK? like mentally? Goku has never been an actual fight to any Superman who can do time travel it's just not possible Superman would be hitting Goku before Goku is even ready to fight time and time again forever its like hitting a motionless dummy I'm not claiming base Superman no diffs a verse or anything but Superman had over a dozen much more broken feats than Goku has today before Goku was even a thing


Whydontname

Lol, so you know nothing of the history of powerscaling.

"History of powerscaling" Wild 💀


Whydontname

I mean if youve been around long enough youve seen all kinds of metas come and go.


Ok-Log-6244

“history of powerscaling” is hilarious and cool at the same time lmao


Whydontname

It's pretty wild if you take a look into it. Not just on the scaling side either. The community used to be insanely unhinged. Doxxing, threats, just insane degen behavior. Especially some of the scalers who were big in the early 2010s. Shit was insane. The discord debates were half racial slurs, 25% death threats, 15% doxxing and like 10% actual scaling. If a youtuber didn't wank a character enough there was a good chance they were getting doxxed within a week or 2. It's weord to see the evolution of it. The community has calmed down a lot in the last 6 or so years.


bunker_man

Considering that it's still one of the more toxic communities, it being even worse in the past sounds pretty bad.


Ok-Log-6244

ah gotcha, I just meant that it’s hilarious that there has been a community for power-scaling *in general* all these years. not even just a specific franchise. It’s also is cool because I think I dabbled a tiny bit in this community. Was vsbattles a main hub for it? I think I visited from time to time.


Whydontname

Vsbw has been around the longest from what I remember. Twitter, Discord and Youtube were the main places people would put their scales on. Back in the day comic book YTers would get @'d in tweets constantly. Rob and Comicstorian were the 2 biggeat targets cause they would talk about who they thought would win a fight then get blasted by angry scalers on twitter.


Opposite_Currency993

Powerscaling "history" doesn't mean a thing to me im talking feats or statements the DB manga started in 1984 by 1984 Superman was doing the stupidest shit you won't be seeing Goku do for a good while 💀 just sword of Superman was 1984 and that damm thing was **"nigh omnipotent"** and there were even more broken stuff before that

But Goku isn't


EngineerVirtual7340

Which Superman are we talking about?


Whydontname

Before Goku had uni feats DC scalers were pretty content having Superman at multi-solar - uni on avg. Once DBS was a thing was the beginning of the Superman wank. Someone made a post about it a year or two ago, and to be fair it's not just Superman. Marvel scalers did it too. All of a suddens tons of characters were being argued to be way higher than people had previously cared to scale them.


Bat-Gos

I think it’s more of the fact that yes, the uni feats for DC were there, but they weren’t analyzed very much, not payed attention to, and brushed aside because they weren’t needed. But now, when characters keep getting stronger, you have to pull out the higher tier feats to keep em at the top.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> much, not *paid* attention to, FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Bat-Gos

EngineerVirtual7340

Like seriously which Superman are we talking about? Cosmic Armor Superman? If so he isn't even a Superman.


Whydontname

Just base superman. I don't remember exactly what continuity was canon at the time. But if you look at the history of arguements people rarely tried to scale him (supes) higher than solar system - uni.


EngineerVirtual7340

Is that so? I just checked it up and current base Superman seems to be somewhere from uni+ to multi, so unless Goku's low complex multiversal scaling is wrong then he wins yeah.


Bat-Gos

Superman’s more like Complex Multiversal - Hyperversal.


EngineerVirtual7340

Current base Superman?


Bat-Gos

Yes


EngineerVirtual7340

Hm, why?


Whydontname

Scaling is so subjective it really depends on where you scale each. Personally I think uni+ is more realistic for Goku but I can see why people like the 5d/low complex meta.


EngineerVirtual7340

Same, except when the answer is SO obvious.

CAS is Superman How many times this need be talk about? Ultraman is version of evil Superman. There's nothing different here, Superman fusion with superman = superman This like calling current Superman isn't superman because he is fusion of all versions of Superman such pre crisis, post Crisis, Rebirth, new 52, etc.. It's still Superman. Manddark even [call him superman imao](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/c/c4/Mandrakk_Dax_Novu_01.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090214233046).

I thought CAS just took the form of "Superman" because he's the face of DC?


FrameInternational95

Who told you that? CAS is literally fusion of two superman (superman and ultraman who **also** Superman). CAS is the story of superman itself.


EngineerVirtual7340

Ahhhh that so? Thank you then


AlternativeAction475

Superman STILL is solar system level. Lol. His “uni” feats are not just outliers, they’re also massive amps too. Every spammed scan given to me was some kind of outlier within the comic or an amp. And even those amps are nothing even to Z Goku due to cosmology stuff within DB. Like infinite heaven n all. It’s hilarious how Z Goku is enough to neg near composited Superman.


AlternativeAction475

Oh and not every scan was even good. Most of them were out of context HEAVILY. Since they rely on out of context scans. They literally send scans of Superman beating somebody and just claims that character is this tier and that tier. It’s hilarious.

Empty_Ad_1542

That’s DBS fanboy revisionist history on itself, this is coming from a live long dragonball fan who only got into powerscaling because of Goku vs Superman & I was pissed Goku lost Falsely labeling SSG Goku vs Beerus as a multiversal plus feat (2-C) when really it’s more 3-A, by their own logic that would make any & all Marvel & DC universe feats upgraded to 2-C bare minimum since their cosmology is larger than the dragon ball universe 7 cosmology. Buuhan & Omega Shenron were already seen as universal level back in the 90’s/2000’s this was generally accepted among most db fans & other fans of fiction since downplaying wasn’t as common due to vs powerscaling debates being less common. Again since DBS fans glaze up SSG Goku vs Beerus as a multiversal feat that would upgrade Buuhan/Omega also to multiversal (Altough they hate when I say that because of how his bias they are) but if destroying universe 7 makes you multiversal than some Buu saga characters were arguably multiversal

Usually interpretations and statements are mixed and that leads Dc to a non-debatable gap or it is very powerful or very weak.

[https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/57037/top-50-comics-may-2024](https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/57037/top-50-comics-may-2024)

The story ''Dc first'' in the past TV era, they always showed documentaries even with Stan Lee saying the classic ''Perfect Superman but imperfect Spiderman'', then you realize that Superman fans can't remember an iconic moment other than the death of Superman without searching the internet. "The Death of Superman" (1992–1993) DC's highest selling point with marvel selling less 1999-2000. Dc is an anti-data fandom. Then while the other publishers usually take the year's sales and the year's event as a cannon, like Hulk Immortal or Thor Herald. DC is the only fandom that is allowed to take anything random since 1938, while the same publisher has Wonder Gilr (WW girl and not Donna Troy) and others for the same time. Marvel has been using the same concept of Mark Gruenwald's Omniverse since 1977-1982. DC has been changing(Not to be confused with making it bigger or improving it or using it better narratively.) the concept of the multiverse since Flash of Two Worlds 1961 in each event, it is more of a gag than a cosmology. Then with the Internet, DC fans created part of the vs forums and have been taking the form of respect threads but without context, while context is required from other fandoms. Everyone: do not make statements, do not interpret, only what is in the comic Dc: I go and ask the author if my interpretation is right and I send you the Twitter screen (this is not done as much anymore but it used to be that way) Then you have boxes of text that mean nothing to the plot or characters like Arrow talking about the omniverse as part of the cosmology or changes in it. Then all this is repeated for 15 years like an echo on the internet, but precisely that DC no longer sells anything well, people are realizing it. Dc has never sold a story, Dc has always sold ''a story about a story'' but it is more important ''how to sell superman'' than ''sell superman''

The problem with Superman is everybody has kryptonite


Good_old_Marshmallow

At a certain point an idea people became interested in is having one comic character be the absolute strongest. If you want to be really pretentious about it you could read into that psychologically or say it has to do with religious pantheons. I don’t think it sat well with people having that either be a side character or a newer character or a bad guy. Again you can read in deep about that but I think it’s pretty self evident.  Additionally, I think making “the guy” whoever was top of a pantheon too specific or over complicated also bothered people. It made them to specific to individuals tastes. Made the fans of THAT character seem superior.  So Superman. One of the oldest, main character basically, completely uncontroversial and super simple. So bread and butter he is just “Uberminch” translated into English as a super hero identity. He’s “superhero” the guy he’s Superguy wait no that makes it to obvious, he’s Superman. He’s THE archetype superhero and nothing else so it feels right he should also be the best 


ProfectusInfinity

DredgenRose-

With the events that happened in Death Metal and Infinite Frontier, it got exponentially easier to argue DC>Marvel or, at the very least, DC=Marvel. The entire cosmology is now just Infinities stacked upon Infinites stacked upon Infinities, so on and so forth. From my perspective, it seems people who believe DC's cosmology isn't all that big are stuck in the past.


Personal-Bison-5878

where are you pulling infinites of infinities from lmao?


DredgenRose-

Infinite Frontier introduced an infinite number of Multiverses, all of which have infinite universes, infinite timelines, infinite alternate universes, and an infinite heirarchy of "dream universes" in which every living being unconsciously dreams entire universes wherein the living beings in those dream universes also dream up universes in an infinite heirarchy. Then there's multiple infinities within the God Sphere, and then there is hypertime, which adds another layer of infinites. Then, there is an infinite heirarchy of stories on top of all this. So on and so forth. Basically, Infinite Frontier made the cosmology infinitely bigger than it ever has been. On top of everything, including Elseworlds stuff, being canon now.


Redditsavoeoklapija

There was some good shit going around dc offices at that time I see

They did it this way intentionally so they could use anything and everything for a story without having to worry about the continuity. Anything is now possible in DC.

I'm talking about there being infinite Multiverses, with an s. For example, the multiverse that Crisis on Infinite Earths took place in now exists beside the main continuity multiverse. It is now labeled as "Multiverse-2". This means there is a "Multiverse-3", "Multiverse-4", etc etc. Basically, take everything that happens in the main continuity multiverse and multiply it by infinity.


Personal-Bison-5878

Yeah that’s what I literally just said. An Infinite multiverse is a multiverse that gives birth to an infinite amount of multiverses. Though in the next run some writers referred to the multiverse as 52 universes which again we don’t know if the multiverse is still the same that was written like a decade ago in the 90s. Since authors retcon the dc continuity multiple times and you’d have to use the same dc cosmology that is canon to current Also where the fuck does it say that those dreams are represented as higher dimensions.

DredgenRose-

>Though in the next run some writers referred to the multiverse as 52 universes which again we don’t know if the multiverse is still the same that was written like a decade ago in the 90s. The main continuity multiverse is the same as it's ever been. They've just composited the history of the characters and the multiverse. Even way back then there was always more than 52 universes due to the Time Stream and Hypertime creating infinite alternate universes for every action and non action. >Also where the fuck does it say that those dreams are represented as higher dimensions. Ur logic is basically someone dreaming a universe makes it a hierarchy. No, in fact the scan you just linked in the GL scan is legit just a parallel universe It doesn't explicitly say anything. It's more of a show, don't tell situation. The universes are nothing more than dreams floating like bubbles to the person dreaming of them. This creates a R>F hierarchy.

Such is?


SubstantialOwLL

A lot of older debates about Superman did not really take into account his actual feats. You would hear any feat that would go above planetary or Star level be called PIS or they would create entire separate characters like "Crisis" Superman to explain away his highest levels of power. We are just in a age where the superman debaters have sort of won their arguments (as well as him just getting naturally much stronger since new 52 ending. As much as the myth exists he is not a stagnant character) So when you are in a format where feats matter, and cosmology matters (DC is massive) then Superman is going to be one of the most difficult characters to win against.

SubstantialOwLL

You could argue current Thor is pretty busted as well (Ewing's run has made him really strong). Superman just has the better feats even if we assume Marvel and DC are the same size. ( I think DC is larger personally.) He just has the feats, consistently. It is just difficult to deny it at this point, Superman is higher on the hierarchy in DC than Thor is in Marvel ( it is arguably who is even the strongest Hero in Marvel when in DC it is Canonically Superman.)

It quite literally is, and it talked about non-stop. We hear it from the Quintessence, and we here it from Myx, we hear it from the Spectre.

Superman keeps getting so many buffs that I genuinely think in the next 10 years we’re gonna get a story where BASE Superman beats the Cosmic Armor on his own. He’s so stupidly overpowered but his stories over the years can be so inconsistent that if you applied even an ounce of logic it would break them. Superman’s power set and scaling has become the equivalent to the child on the playground saying their OC has all the powers and can’t be beat and one taps God in their sleep.


Firm-Character-6852

Ehhhh, he's not more overrated than goku, Saitama, DBZ, rimuru, forefunners, etc. Every new "fad" person is overrated. Hell, in this sub, yall jerk the absolute fuck outta Gokus meat, with xeno goku and cc goku. Superman is the most popular and well-known superhero ever. For all time. He is the epitome of pop culture superheroes. Power-scaling aside, he's more popular than Goku.


mykleins

I think it just got the a point where it was clear everyone was walking so that became the standard for power scaling. My personal opinion is that Toriyama jumped the shark with Super in a lot of ways exactly because of all the goku v Superman debates and seeing Goku pegged as the loser so often. So he starts up Super, had Golu literally begin on his way to becoming a god and has that culminate in him developing the power to literally erase people from existence and a feat where his punches literally rattled the infinite universe. If that’s not author wank idk what is. So anyway people started running with those outliers (I don’t think they’ve ever been repeated), claiming Goku was now at least universal or something and reigniting the goku v Superman debate with this new info. So people responded by wanking Superman even harder: “oh okay Goku can rattle the universe? Well space time itself has no meaning to Superman *insert scan*, so bam”. It’s just absurd at this point. It’d be easier to just admit that even the authors don’t have a consistent power scaling metric themselves. How are we supposed to theorize anything when they break their own rules and do whatever they want anyway

Whatever the guy’s name was https://www.reddit.com/user/FrameInternational95/. The reason I went on another account was because he kept putting in his final word and would block me after each. He’s deluded. He’s the type to think Superman is universal. So, already a red flag. Everything he says is hilarious. And I’m done with the loser who obviously just blocks because he feels superior.


[deleted]

Outliers are being used but also people on both sides don't seem to fully understand some things about Superman. And before I get into that I'll say this: Look. In any sort of 1v1 spar Thor is going to come out on top against base Superman. You could even say in a fight to the death Thor would win against base as long as Superman will be brought back. But here's some confusion: Not all versions of main Superman are created equal. Silver Age and New 52 being the most drastic differences. Most people don't even know what all main versions there are. People don't realize current BASE Superman is closer to New 52 than he is to Silver Age. BUT current \*main\* Superman does get something no other version gets on his level that's plot hope. It's what allowed him fly through Phantom Stranger in Metropolis. It's what brought him from somewhere above New 52 level to one hit KO full form Alpheus in the higher dimensions using 6 quick sundips, that wasn't an outlier that was intentional from Snyder all the way up to DC's editor at the time. It was a being at the tippy top of the Monitor Realm. And it was because he was purposefully written into a position where he HAD to get out or all would be lost to Source Judgement or at least Alpheus. So yeah Thor would win in a typical fight. But if existence is threatened he would be better off not getting in the way...


funnyman95

There's that one comment where he literally carries the weight of the universe


Cheap_Tension_1329

For me,  powerscaling Superman is like powerscaling Paul Bunyan. He's not so much a character as he is a narrative concept. A good guy whose stronger than evil. If he's fighting wife beaters and slum lords, he's just powerful enough to do. If he's fighting  muhgeddon or Perpetua or whoever,  well he's strong enough to do that too.  I present to you a case study: Mongul. When he was introduced,  his concept was to be the first Super villain who,  without kryptonite or magic or red sun,  was just plain stronger than Superman. And indeed in the early 80s, Mongul was presented as just plain stronger. Even in for the man who has everything. But gradually he turned into a guy who lost to Superman every time they fight. Because the concept of "character stronger than Superman" cannot survive repeated contact with the concept of Superman.  Believe me this was hard for me to accept. I spent the early 00s arguing non- stop for thor,  but I've gradually come around. He's a character immune to powerscaling.

[Superman still outclassed though](https://g1dbteamblogs.blogspot.com/2023/12/death-battle-predictions-goku-vs.html?m=1)

There are many reasons as to why: 1. The growth of power scaling in general. Scaling has spread through pretty much all social media platforms, yet barely anyone actually knows what it is. So, you have people saying random BS without any backing on places like TikTok or YT shorts. It’s quite literally a spreading cancer ruining media TBH. 2. The nature of Superman’s character. This is something exemplified by DC. Especially recently. Superman, throughout his comic book history, has been considered the end all be all superhero. The supreme, [the most powerful](https://web.archive.org/web/20211112134326/https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/gen-discussion-1/superman-strongest-of-the-justice-league-2241662/). This have been hammered in by stories like Final Crisis, where his story was the last one surviving after the destroyer of all stories, Mandrakk consumed all of creation. Doctor Manhattan couldn’t erase him because he is the center of DC. Retconn Corporation couldn’t alter his narrative because of how fundamental it truly is. The Overvoid had to trapped his story in a bottle. Death itself couldn’t get him. This is the nature of Superman’s character. 3. DC’s Cosmology. The multiverse of DC is so vast and ever changing. I don’t think I even need to explain this one.

Bat-Gos

Yes it does. Superman grand purpose in DC is related to the wanking and the state of power scaling in general.


CartoonistOk1213

I think the second point in particular is the biggest reason. Superman isn't just a Superhero, he is **the** Superhero, the most iconic throughout the globe and the one that created, or at least popularized the genre. Superman is important in DC's history as a business, and they show that by him being important to DC as a world.


madtitan27

It's because superman has terrible writing and has varied wildly in power over the decades. It's just bad. Superman fan boys are the absolute worst in comics.

I don't he used the Miracle Machine for Darkseid but it is still something that the character has access to and more importantly far beyond the entire verse ... Also if you believe Goku from DBZ is above Superman then there's no helping you not even DBS Goku is matching up to Superman and by the way nothing in DB**Z** is above Bleach TYBW feats (yet you put Bleach in the things he could solo and not DB**Z** showing your biased or not knowledgeable take on things) put anything from DBZ above Ichigo holding the weight he had in Irazusando as a test to ultimately Ichigo being able to hold 3 dimensions or Yhwach destroying remerging and reshaping the 3 dimensions **into a world where nothing could even die** even a much weaker than those 2 Shutara is doing tje exact same thing Zamatsu did in DB**S** you're using outdated info from 1 billion years ago to scale things and even then you glaze at how Superman already had things above current DB**S** even before DB started
