from what I've seen...no...he's never shown any kind feat that would put him anywhere near that level of strength
Is goku this strong?
To be honest, I can't even remember Goku showing strength above maybe 25 tons. I know he's trained under intense gravity, and smashes boulders apart, but it's nothing a lower level bruiser like The Thing or Luke Cage can't copy.
Goku's strength feats have really only been measured in ki attacks. There is also no mentioning of a correlation between ki attacks and physical strength. So to answer your question, it's unknown. Can't prove he is or isn't as far as I am concerned. Also when comparing anyone to Goku, it is important to mention which point in the series. From the beginning to the end of DBZ Goku's strength in all areas are vastly different in several parts in the show.
Personal opinion; No, far from it.
Goku lifted 40 tons at normal base, he gets 50 times stronger each time he transforms to next level ssj, so to make some very quick maths:
40x50 = 2000 tons in ssj1
2000x50 = 100000 tons in ssj2
100000x50 = 5000000 tons in ssj3
There is no way to prove he can lift that much, maybe he could lift more... thats never explained, but again... personal opinion: Can goku benchpress the earth? Hell no!
Goku has never had to display that type of strength, but he can blow up any planet with relative ease. I think he feel like this when it comes to strength:

You have to consider the fact that he was also on the Kai's planet where gravity was x10. So he was actually lifting 400 tons at base form.

Lifting strength=/=Striking strength
Who hits harder, a powerlifter or a heavyweight UFC fighter?
bingo. It comes down to whether we're asking who could lift & throw some heavy object (or perhaps lift to save people), or punch harder in a fight. Punching's much more dependent on strike speed (the explosiveness/acceleration of your movement). (However, since the masses of their arms would be close enough to the same (not-high), and there really isn't a speed to create the total energy released in their respective punches, they (along with any super-person) are probably channeling additional energy through their punches. Goku with his Ki and Superman w/e he may have (not sun-energy alone, he couldn't gather enough of that (in a lifetime) to get the amount needed for his feats, but that's a different tale for another thread. All hyper-strong guys should just get their energy from matter+anti-matter like Blue Marvel does, easiest way to huge amounts of it).
He has to be super strong, he's carrying the hopes and dreams of a Justice League movie on his back.

Yes... thats a theory, but to be fair.. Kais planet was destroyed and we dont know where he was training, its only speculation that the gravity was x10. It would make sense that Kai would choose a place with a higher gravity that earth for training purposes, but again it was never stated for a fact - so i wont take that into account until its been confirmed.

They were in Other World, which has never been stated as having higher gravity.
@jloneblackheart:
That.. Exactly.
Also back on point is... Have Goku shown strength feets comparable to the one Superman did recently?
And even if he was training in 10x gravity he would be no way near that amount of raw power.
@Skunkstein: Not that I know of. Goku did train in 100x gravity though before arriving on Namek.
Just thinking, Other World shouldn't have higher gravity. When Goku went to the check in and met King Yemma, there was no increased gravity. Nor was there any on Snake Way. Only King Kai's planet had 10x gravity and hen Goku got there he had a hard time moving (but he did have weighted clothing).

Yeah, i agree.
Under Earth's gravity, Superman can lift over 100,000 tons.
Under outer space gravity, Superman can lift up to 6,585,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons
Honestly, that picture of Superman looks much more like he's performing curling motions with his arms, not pressing motions.
Also, why doesn't he just let go of those stupid handles?
And what the heck is that thing made of that it can exert that much pressure for that long without breaking? Does adamantium exist in the New 52? Why would someone even build something like that in the first place?
I haven't read the issue, I'm just wondering if this actually an organic feat related to the story, or if it's more of a "hey guys, look how totally awesome Superman is!" kind of feat.
But no, I don't think Goku could bench press the mass of the earth. Blow it up in base form with hardly any effort? Sure. But probably not bench it.

LMFAO! So true!!!
I think that's stronger than All-Star Supes, and he was supposed to be dying from being saturated with power.@Kal'smahboi said:
@Dernman said:Heck I don't think Superman is that strong.Ha. I was gonna say that....Same here. I don't really know what DC were thinking when they approved that. Sure, Superman is strong - but never that strong (maybe GA, but not in recent years).

Yeah, wasn't he pushing 4 quintillion tons at the start? Pretty sure that the Earth weighs more than that.
The writers of Superman will just increase his strength accordingly to overcome any character in any form of media.

The numbers Goku fanboys come up with are hilarious lol
Yeah, and the numbers Superman WRITERS come up with are hilarious as well.
Like what for example?
Umm...you could just look at the picture in the OP.
"5.972 Sextillion tons!" ROFLMAO
I think when it came to the whole 6 sextillion tons thing, maybe the writers were like "Is it as over the top ridiculous as Silver Age?" "Not really, it is only one planet," "then publish it."
@JakeN7: it's still cannon, and that is all that matters. because now I have proof that Supes is stronger than Hulk and Goku.
