Battle of the Week: Superman vs Sinestro

@Pokeysteve: Agreed.

@krleavenger: Sounds good.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say that current Superman is powered by the spiritual energy that powered up the Eradicator. Just wanted to point that out.

And also. He threw Doosmday to the other side of the planet.

Clarck beats Sinestro on every regard. A back hand from him is more than enough to send Sinestro across the country and knock him out at the same time.

@dygoboy: This is not current forms. Because if it was then Sinestro is currently the host of Parralax and would stomp. And that superman slapping sinestro scan is non canon.

@dygoboy: Your third scan is from injustice.

Like when exactly. and this is sinestro in the battle anyway. Hal is not superior to Sinestro.

There is no proof that it didn't lantern rings boost everything as seen with how powerful it makes regular humans. Saying an amped Mongul beat him so Superman can doesn't really work.

I never said versatility would just give sinestro the win.

And no, Clark can't blitz Sinestro who is similar in speed.

@heirtothekingdom:

He has never done things like attacking someone's eyes like I showed above, and though he may be tactically great like John or even more experienced, he doesn't fight the same. All the Lanterns have strength's that set them apart in battle. That just happens to be John's. We can't take what John has done and apply it to Sinestro just because he's more powerful. That's like saying Superman will do something Supergirl will do because he's more powerful, when really you have to take in how they fight.

But it's not like attacking someones eye's would be out of character for Sinestro. He does exploit weaknesses to win. It may not be his first move I agree. But would he do it as the fight progresses, I would think so since he would realize that a conventional form of attack would not work against Supermn

.New 52 Mongul was also defeated by Wonder Woman, not knocked out, but incapacitated in her ropes alongside Non. He's powerful, but not as much as you may think. I don't see anything that puts him much above his Pre-52 incarnation.

Yeah but few if any can break through Diana's lasso. But yes he probably isn't stronger than pre 52 mongul. But the fact that Sinestro should prove that he is above Mongul when Mongul is not in possession of a ring.

I can't remember when it was shown, but regardless if Mongul could do it, Superman can too as he's superior to him in every way. I think it's more necessary to show him using it outside of this one occurrence so it can be proven it's what could happen in this battle. I don't think him using it once is enough.

But Mongul could only do it due to energy draining his constructs. Superman doesn't have that kind tech. But I will look for more instances of him doing this and get back to you. Though I don't think Superman can really deal with constructs inside of him.

@owie: Tag.

lol yeah. Thought that was clear.

Superman.

Unless SInestro can put him down hard an fast he is going down.

His ring will lose power the longer the battle continues.Superman can break through his constructs. Plus what is Sinestro going to do stop him from trying to take it off his finger.

SInestro is similar in speed?

How?

or

or even

you still haven't shown anything that can suggest that Sinestro can even perceive him coming at him full tilt.

Superman is simply too powerful for him.

Heck, I'd cav you for it if you were up to it.

You or you @krleavenger

@crushyourenemies: Check the frist page. I already showed Sinestro's ftl speed and reactions. Superman is not blitzing him.

And no on the cav. I'm in several already.

@emperorthanos:

1) Here's the issue with that, how long do you think Sinestro is going to last in order for him to test these methods on Clark? He certainly isn't going to get the time to go through all his options, especially when Clark will be breaking down his defenses and bringing the fight straight to him. All I was saying is we can't use what lanterns feat to justify the others because simply their are different circumstances like John knowing more about Superman and how much of a threat he is.

2) Sinestro did defeat Mongul I can agree with that as it's even admitted by him in their second encounter, however Mongul isn't Superman. Only thing he has is Clark's physicals and even then he's below him there. The point being made there is that someone who is much slower and physically less imposing than Clark was capable of overpowering Sinestro at certain moments in that fight.

3) You're right, however as I said it's not really a tactic he chooses to lose. Also the speed difference between Superman and Mongul is immense, so it's likely that anything Mongul couldn't avoid or strike Sinestro before doing, Clark could.

@krleavenger: No worries.

Doesn't current Sinestro have parralax.

@heatblaze1213: Yes, but it isn't allowed here.

still sinestro

@thekinfing: Thanks for the information.

Bruhaha so superman eventually won

too close to call

So Sinestro's side having solid arguments.

Superman's side says he wins 'cause he's superman and he will smash the constructs. Oh well, and polls look like popularity contest.

@krleavenger: I wouldn't go that far.

Also, does anyone has that pic of Superman on the OP?

@krleavenger: Found it :P

Superman wins.

It's close, but I'm leaning towards Superman.

Sinestro but he would come out whole broken

Sinestro should win and argument for his side is better than Superman's (in this thread).

Sinestro should win after a good fight..But it could go either way depending on how smart Supes fight.

Sinestro does not have the feats to suggest he could defeat Superman handily. His combat speed and strength is not comparable in the slightest and he would never outlast Clark in a lengthy battle. Sinestro is a threat in terms of prep time and schemes. But physically, he has been beaten by Hal Jordan..who is a tier below Superman in durability and strength. Sorry Sinestro fans, but it's clear he will never convincingly defeat Superman.

I don't know Sinestro well enough on my own to really say, but my general impression has always been, and the evidence presented here suggests, that Superman will win. I just think he's on a slightly higher level than the Lanterns. Just consider why there are thousands of the various lanterns, but only a few Kryptonians; thousands of Kryptonians would be overkill for a universal police force/etc.

@krleavenger: do I look like a mod?

Sinestro right now too powerful

Sinestro
