    @dum529001: chill brother lol calling everyone a fanboy gets pretty old, especially when if you looked for 2 minutes you'd see I hate superman. To me he lifted infinite weight and I chalk it up to comicbook logic. Learn to not get so rattled about basically anonymous opinions about fictional things lol

    @buttersdaman000: Hmm that is a fair counter part, hard to deny that the machine Superman was benching was meant to replicate the weight of the Earth. Same with a black hole I guess even if it is on an even more impossible scale by breaking the laws of physics standards.

    Its not old. You know why? Its Comic Vine, that's why. This place is full of fanboys. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that fact.

    I rarely even call people fanboys so I don't know why you are complaining as though that's all I ever say.

    @imperfect_cell: I realise that your comment is old, I would just like to point out that while your logic is sound it does not apply to comic books. Everything in comics is illogical therefore trying to apply logic is Folly for example if we were to think about superman and his powers LOGICALLY this means that we must dismiss all his powers because LOGICALLY powers like heat vision are not real.

    @midnightdragon18: Spectre is made up of eternity, eternity is a measure of time, time is weightless. Spectre does not weigh infinity.

    It's been YEARS and people are still upset about Superman vs Goku? My God. Death Battle must be immensely popular to have garnered this much hate.

    Anyway, the whole "Superman is limitless" thing was a discussion of what the characters represented. Superman is the goal we aspire to reach and Goku is the man who will reach any goal. That is the fundamental theme of each character, and that is what they were talking about. Plus it kind of felt like they were just fed up with being bombarded with a million requests for a rematch every day. The rematch video wasn't even a rematch. It was a "Shut up and leave us alone, we already made the decision" video.

    When people use this example they usually ignore ALL the context behind it. That moon was surrounded by a relativistic bubble which could bend the space around the moon in order to move it at relativistic speeds. So they weren't just pushing a moon which was moving extremely fast, but they were trying to do it even against the kryptonian tech that was actively moving it.

    Plus you should realize that even a simple bullet moving near the speed of light should have a near infinite mass so try to think for a moment that this moon had a near infinite momentum ( if not an infinite one) behind it.

    @stardustcrusader: No, this makes sense. Humanoid Kryptonians are very powerful under a yellow sun, imagine what a Kryptonian dragon would be capable of. Just saying.

    @toptom: Are the Kryptonians also weakened during this story or at least in that scan? I assume they are since they're wearing breathing masks.

    @foneybone1: nope they weren't weakened but they weren't really failing to move that moon ,they were failing to constrast that kryptonian tech that could move planets at relativistic speeds. They were using those masks in order to talk probably :/

    @toptom: I should probably just read the story so I don't have to keep asking you questions but in the last panel the girl says the moon slowed, did they do that or did the device moving it cause it to slow?

    He needed Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter to move the earth and I believe Hal Jordan in another occasion.

    He was unable to escape the grip of a Kryptonian Dragon. Weirdly enough, he did this in the same issue where he benched the weight of the world for a few days.

    terrestrial dragon > normal human

    Kryptonian dragon > Kryptonian human

    nothing strange here.
