Superman's Punch Runs The Gauntlet

One of the strongest punches from everyone's favorite good ol' boy scout (whose underoos mean hope -- Bendis) will be launched to these characters' faces. Can Superman one shot?

The punch in question:

Taken from: Superman: The Man of Steel #116 - Chest Deep in Heroes' Blood

Round 1: Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)

Round 2: Namor

Round 3: Zod

New 52/Rebirth version only

Round 4: Wonder Woman

Post-Crisis/New 52/Rebirth

Round 5: Hal Jordan

Post-Crisis/New 52/Rebirth

Round 6: Sentry

Round 7: Thor Odinson

Round 8: Hulk

All feats up to WWH level (basically no just WB)

Round 9: H'el

Callouts:

He stops at 3 or 4. I’m not sure if this punch would oneshot Wonder Woman.

Gets up to Zod.

Before even going into this thread I knew that that was the exact scan that was going to be used in the OP. Lol

OT: 4. Diana's already survived punches from bloodlusted post-crisis Superman.

Btw, Hal should be at the top of the gauntlet. High tier post-crisis lanterns are more durable than all of the ones listed above him.

@worldofthunder: Hulk's durability is on par with Hal's plus his regen helps him too. Though the others are debatable, but Hulk should definetly be above Hal in terms of durability and regen.

@death2heretics: What durability feats does Hulk have to say he has better durability than Hal? Regen is a fair point.

Carol Danvers is way below Namor (so their places should switch), she is easily one-shoted, Supes wouldn't even need to put much force in it honestly. Supes definitely stops at Diana but could quite actually stop at Namor, who even when weakened has taken a pummeling from a rampaging Hulk (also taken repeated blows from a not holding back Thor, etc). Granted Hulk doesn't hit quite as hard but a fully powered and functioning Namor hasn't really been dropped so easily.

@worldofthunder: Depends, which version? I'd say Post-Core Breach Hulk has better durability against physical attacks than Hal, who is better w/ energy attacks.

Clears

Stops at namor.

@supergoku17: When has Namor tanked a Moon level attack?

Off-Topic:

Namor is well above Carol. Hal should also be above Bob and Thor.

Sentry is far too high in this gauntlet

Stops at Hal Jordan or current Sentry

It only cracked the moon.

Stops at Hal

Stops at WW.

Namor should not be below Ms. Marvel. Stops at 1. He's tanked hits from Abomination, Worthy Attuma (who hurt Surfer), Black Bolt, Blastaar (while dehydrated), Hercules, Hulk, Thor, Sentry, Skaar, Ultron, etc.

Namor took a whooping from Thanos and has gone toe to toe with Hyperion, Hulk etc. Probably won't be one shotted. Stops at 1.

@smoothsanta: @noone1996: I forgot about those Namor feats...y'all make good points

@p00ty: When I clicked on the thread I expected some super OP and ridiculous striking feat, but this really doesn't impress me.

There's no doubt that Superman is able to one shot Namor with a full force punch.

Oh, it's a specific punch. I still think it takes Namor down.

@noone1996: Yeah. The feat used is pretty standard. I was expecting to see this one:

Stops at 1, if we are talking about one shot.

@supergoku17: Yes, and he didn't even hit the Moon itself and he still cracked 50% of it's surface.

No way he is beating Hulk. Hulk is potentially more powerful than Thanos, Superman is not Thanos/Darkseid level

@krleavenger: making cracks x 1000 still isn't close to moon level. punch is below moon level since moon level means overcoming GBE or throwing moon at mach 7.

Post-crisis Wonder Woman has already taken hits like this without any problem.

@death2heretics: Sure, can I see some feats for that version (to my knowledge, that's the common version of Hulk)?

Stops at 4.

@lookmomnohands: could stop a 3 or 4, if this is regular hulk he should be lower on the gauntlet.

Stops at 3.

@worldofthunder: I can't post any feats, since im currently at the phone, and it would be a pain in the ass to search the scans throughout his apareances and upload them with desktop mode, so i'll leave you this CaV where Lvenger shows some of Post-Core Breach Hulk durability feats:

https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/battles-7/cav-hulk-lvenger-vs-gladiator-apex-pretador-1924783/

Keep in mind, regen plays a huge part in this gauntlet, that's why Hulk is above Hal, the durability gap isn't large, it's actually close, but as i said, the regen makes Hulk more dangerous when it comes to survival.

As for the others on this list, i guess Hal should be above them(though i don't know much about H'el)

Rearranged the order, Namor is above Carol now, I also took out J'onn entirely, the sheer lack of feats makes it impossible to place him anywhere for sure. Diana above Zod because of Post-Crisis feats, I looked over Post-Flashpoint Zod's durability feats again and they aren't on that level yet. Also H'el nigh no selling dozens of planet (and space) shacking punches is a better blunt force durability feat than anything I've seen from non World Breaker Hulk, so he's the final round now. Hal stays were he is, he doesn't have many good quantifiable blunt force durability feats to my knowledge.

Stops at 4.

@empressofdread: when?

One-shots Namor and Miss Marvel at the same time, no difficulty.

I don't see why it stops at Hal, when has Hal tanked a blow that could bust half a Moon with it's shockwave? That's well above moon busting. Hal would definitely be KOed. Anyway either stops at Bob or Thor.

Stops at Wonder Woman.

Stops at 2.

When she was blasted by bloodlusted Superman from Sun to the earth all the way only to crash on earth and create this big crater.

Now this crater is being made after all that distance covered this is easily above the cracking half the surface of the moon. She was also able to tank multiple IMPs. Also to be frank this is not Superman best striking and Wonder Woman has tanked his from Superman even when bloodlusted.

@empressofdread: That crater is miniscule probably as wide a building.

The distance is great but not as good as cracking half the moon..

On top of that she koed and only got up due the heat of reentry. That was his best hit and it knocked her out in that fight.

I dont see how she is surving this one.

I don't know anything about Danvers or Namor but he won't get past Zod.

Doesn't get past 2 now.

You're joking right? Namor has never been hitted with an attack such as the one on the OP and he has been damaged and KO'd by lesser hits multiple times.

@emperorthanos-:

But its too long distance. You know how far the earth is from the Sun and Superman was amped by the solar radiation specially coming close. I know it creates a small crater on earth but its after WW travels that much distance.

Secondly Superman cracked only the surface of half the moon but cracked it open. She was also able to tank IMPs which work at Moon level and by statements even more.

Stops at 3 or 4
