All Might vs Superman




Suggested by Anonymous Superman is a powerful fighter and an iconic hero. His exploits are so well known that many characters including All Might are based on him to an extent. That said, All Might has surpassed Superman. Superman has a lot of great abilities but his combat speed isn’t quite ready to deal with All Might. All Might would be able to muscle his way past Superman’s attacks and is fast enough to dodge any possible counters. This puts Superman in a bit of a tricky spot. All Might wins.

      • Bro I respect that you are an All might fan yes but the way you just said how he beats superman is showing that you are ignoring his feats and just thinking of simulation in your own head

        Direct blows is nothing compare to planet level blows and explosions cause these type of blows with incinerate in an instant direct punch blows are things superman have endure over the years and have gotten way past and plus you think superman is an idiot and will let All might punch him all the way.

        Secondly your way of explaining superman’s speed was literally you admitting you are downplaying him you explained yourself that sometimes superman holds back a lot including his speed that scene him saving the woman was he was focus on saving the woman rather than focusing on his powers

      • I hear ya but Superman just isn’t used to fighting at these kinds of speeds. All Might consistently moves like this and just barrels past everyone. It’s a whole different ballgame there. Superman still takes shots from guys like Batman and street level fighters

  1. Alright, as someone who used to be a big MHA fan I have to ask, what feats do you have to justify that All Might has anywhere near the physical power to take down a composite Superman? How is his combat speed going to overcome Superman’s? How is he going to be able to just simply dodge here? I’ll respond with feats of my own after you provide some as I’m genuinely curious on how you could ever come to this conclusion. I really think Supes just utterly demolishes the Symbol of Peace here.

    • It comes down to combat speed which has always been Superman’s biggest weakness and a weakness most comic book characters have tbh. In combat All Might was shown to move fast enough to take out multiple members of the League of Villains and outmanuever a villain who could control machinery with ease. He could move with the speed of a sonic boom and basically eradicated all crime in Japan.

      His movements were basically undetectable by the human eye. Now Superman has better travel speed but in combat he wouldn’t be able to keep up here and considering that All Might was able to damage All For One and break the cables, he should be able to quickly damage Superman. Bonus points if you consider the quirk to be magical in nature although I would argue it isn’t since it’s biologically normal in that verse. So just damage through sheer toughness.

      • None of the feats mentioned have been equal to what superman can output and survive

        i have already said to dreager a million times that superman can keep up with the flash in combat, and the flash can move way faster then light and even greater

        but ya know lets say superman is not faster then all might

        Well all might is still not as strong or as durable when compared to superman

        Since im assuming your using composite versions of both characters, that means superman is multiversal given how he can fight multiversal beings (darkseid)
        also means every version of superman is allowed

        anyway to answer superman’s superior strength

        here he lifted the earth’s weight for 5 days
        https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-d5c9770790766e644b700aa5b2af7e95-pjlq

        that alone puts his strength above any Mha character shown

        and bare in mind superman had like barely any sun to power him

        the strongest we have seen from an mha character is either a mountain or island level feat
        and thats generous
        but the superman feat shown is arguably one of his weakest strength feats

        here is him sneezing a solar system apart
        https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-d3c882d675b5c3b68ff728135250aa76-pjlq

        speed?

        Here is superman somehow bursting the bond of infinity with speed alone

        and for durability here is superman tanking a hit from a supernova

        im gonna assume dreager is gonna brign up the idea of superman not having enough “combat speed” to guard againts all might
        so now im gonna put a bunch of superman’s reaction feats and reflex feats to prove that he easily could

        Superman reacting down to the nanosecond
        https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-28e4d821bc8ec098c48eb9f7da474c90-lq

        Superman’s reflex to the femtosecond
        https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-8a5008d1eadee7629ea79de0e5c606e7-lq

        Superman’s reflex down to the attosecond
        https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-299784eab9bf112e8eb62dfad1eff3f7-lq

        superman going beyond plank time
        https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-d0173730715bc7a510fe12bdf2575455-lq

        for context, superman was trapped in some attack that would freeze him in “zero time”
        that would be what “chrono-suspension” means

        And the smallest unit of time known to us is Planck Time. Or 5.39e–44 seconds.

        and finnaly here is superman breaking free of a time modulation field
        https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-22f6b7036cb98792d65d425097e0ed41-lq
        https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-5ec22663bebf2244c02a47ee90f63b66-lq

        Now i want you to keep in mind that superman was not fighting agiants somebody with the power of time
        He was fighting against the flow of time that had been altered by the disk shaped device.

        A device that could slow down time to a near complete stop.

        and i figured dreager would still complain so i brought one more bit of evidence

        here superman and the flash are chatting together when it looks like the world has been frozen in place, because both are thinking and moving much faster
        https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-cb702b508043c90ae0c80365bba279a2-lq

        he even says that he sped up his senses to match the flash

        and to answer the question of why superman keeps getting hit in the face, its cause he usually doesn’t throw the first punch, because he tends to try to either talk it out first or prefer to stop the fight before anything can happen

        hence why we get a lot of superman beat up’s
        that and the writers need the comics to be interesting and not have superman blitzs his foe’s instantly

        but here, where he has to fight his foes without the worry of morals and ya know worry of innocents

        that weakness is no longer there

        so based on these feats, safe to say superman takes this one

      • Okay so for the Superman feats you listed above, they are good but I’m still not seeing anything that puts him on All Might’s level yet. It is composite so I’m not going to talk about the literal oceans of anti feats that you have to swim through to get to the good stuff but Superman in general is more of a brawler. Yes, he does have his moments where he lands a lot of good punches and moves at a high speed but in the end it’s not really his specialty. Put it this way, Superman is often outgunned and outmatched in a fight because he has to hold back. He’s not used to fighting someone like All Might who always gives every fight his best.

        His lifting the planets and surviving explosions is great but he still won’t be able to dodge All Might’s attacks or survive the attacks for long. The reason for this is really because of how powerful All Might is. He harnesses the power of all previous users every time he punches and those hits deal massive amounts of damage. Superman’s been damaged by guys like Darkseid and Doomsday before who didn’t possess this quirk.

        So Superman having all that power, durability, and reaction times won’t help once we’re down to the actual fight

    • “It comes down to combat speed which has always been Superman’s biggest weakness and a weakness most comic book characters have tbh.

      Sonic boom you say? Here’s Superman fighting at speeds that do just that:

      Seems to be no issue for him. Should easily be able to keep up with All Might in that regard. And eradicating all crime in Japan is irrelevant to this. Unless you think the majority of MHA can keep up with major DC enemies like Darkseid, Zod, Doomsday etc. which they obviously cannot.

      “His movements were basically undetectable by the human eye. Now Superman has better travel speed but in combat he wouldn’t be able to keep up here and considering that All Might was able to damage All For One and break the cables, he should be able to quickly damage Superman.

      No quirks aren’t magic in their universe, there’s a clear genetic aspect to it. Quirk users often have similar quirks to their parents, there are specific parts of one’s physical and genetic makeup that are called the Quirk factor, in no way is this magic.

      So let’s look at the manga scans you’re using here

      First set:

      If you get to use All Might’s speed to travel towards an opponent unable to react then I get to use this:

      This is Superman moving hundreds of meters before a bullet can even get out of the barrel, with femtosecond/attosecond level reactions and hypersonic speeds. This is far beyond the speed of pretty much any bullet.

      We don’t even get a clear idea of the speed since the panel skips most of when All Might is moving. Superman wins in this comparison, it’s not even close.

      Second set:

      Most of this is again travel speed. His arrival in the air and slamming into the ground is travel speed, and then moves on to running after a villain and punching them to lift the other villains. I find no reason why based on Superman’s previous feats i’ve shown that he couldn’t do similar things.

      And here’s Superman moving at Mach 3 to punch alongside Wonder Woman

      Here’s him blitzing someone moving at the speed of lightning which being lightning of course moves at the speed of light:

      Superman again easily takes the win in this comparison.

      Third Set:

      I really don’t care about this one. All Might is clearly being limited with the gauntlets so this isn’t a great demonstration of his abilities. Here’s Superman punching over 4,000 times really quickly if we really want to talk about striking speed

      Again easy win for Superman with this set of scans and even without the gauntlets based on what you’ve shown.

      Fourth (single panel)

      5km in 30 seconds is 600 km/h which equals a little under 373 mph. Which is indeed unimpressive speed, especially compared to Superman. And again this is mostly the travel speed you routinely talk about, so it’s pretty easy to compare to what Superman has. We’re not even close to supersonic speeds with that. Not even Mach 1 here.

      Here’s Superman crossing the sound barrier:

      Here’s Superman going Mach 2 and leaving a jet in the dust:

      Even if we double the speed we’re still not supersonic.

      You’d have to triple the speed just to keep up with his hypersonic speeds, which are irrelevant since Superman can speedblitz light speed level characters.

      In no way is All Might comparable to Superman in this regard.

      Final (single panel)

      The last one is mostly reaction time, which is pitifully easy for Superman to keep up with and surpass.

      Superman easily capable of moving fast enough to deflect laser beams:

      Superman intercepting a Beta ray which moves nearly at the speed of light:

      Superman moving fast enough to catch objects moving at speeds that made FTL look like a joke.

      Superman utterly obliterates All Might when it comes to reaction time. All Might will get speedblitzed far before he even knows that Superman is even there.

      So with this speed taken into consideration, let’s get into the other major issue All Might runs into, his complete inability to do any sort of damage to Superman even if he had the speed advantage you claim he does.

      Here’s Superman:

      Tanking a pure uranium planetoid’s explosion:

      Tanking an Earth destroying level explosion:

      Tanking a Supernova:

      All Might even with many thousands of blows would be incapable of replicating anything like this, let alone anything that can surpass it to the point where Superman is actually injured.

      Superman, especially composite Superman has such a variety of engagements, feats and just ability that utterly eclipses All Might in any relevant regard that there’s no way the Symbol of Peace is keeping up.

      • All right so lets get into the weeds of All Might vs Superman. The Superman feats you listed above are all very impressive like with tanking planet explosions and such. However, I would argue that Superman is still going to be on the losing side here. Why, you ask? Superman’s durability moments are for tanking large blows and atmospheric hits like the planets, not direct blows the likes of which All Might is dishing out. All Might’s hits land direct damage like when he was able to overpower a Nomu who was immune to kinetic damage by overpowering him. That’s a Goku level feat.

        I don’t see Superman doing much against that. Even in the scan you showed of him flying to protect a lady from being shot by the thug, he barely made it and acted as if going hypersonic is difficult. I think it’s because he’s more used to doing that in travel scenarios as opposed to combat ones. That’s really where he starts to falter here.

        So lets say Superman does have better speed feats in general but All Might’s still winning when in the middle of combat. The best combat speed feat you showed was him fighting that metal man where they couldn’t understand each other and I’d say All Might’s fight with Nomu was still more impressive. We also have to factor in how All Might now has a mech suit which gives him the abilities of the different UA students so that’s more for Superman to think about.

        Not as useful as physical abilities of course but it all helps out. Superman probably takes durability from all of those explosions but without the combat speed to tag All Might, he still ends up going down here. His slower fighting style just isn’t a good match for All Might. I’d also argue that hitting Superman with OFA attacks would pretty much be magic with all of the different colors and styles that go into every move. The quirks are biological but they’re not natural
