"Careful Superman, These robots can hurt even you!"

That's the single line of dialogue in Justice League Heroes that suddenly makes the fact that Superman is no worse than anyone else ok.

If you're going to put Superman in a videogame, you've got to bend the rules.

No biggie.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I just hate this game MK vs DC isn't a good mix.

So what would you prefer?

Mortal Kombat vs. My Little Pony?

(on second thought, that actually might be quite fun)

I'm so sorry.

 

But on subject, yes you are right, Superman is too powerful for anything but same could be said about Juggernaut in the X-men fighting games or Marvel vs Capcom.

 



Hmm, pie.

It's a cool idea! Sub-Zero takes on Green Lantern, Batman takes on Kano, Rayden takes on Superman.... etc.

but there's just something wrong about it that i can't quite stomach.

 

since when does Superman (from here to be called S-man) actually get hurt by physical attacks and such? If the game allows fatalities to be performed on S-man, it's just going to be a joke. I mean, the other characters, fine, they can get hurt. But the product description of S-man states he's not allowed to be hurt except by kryptonite.

The only possible opponent I can reasonably stomach that 'may' hurt S-man is Rayden, since he's a god of thunder, and since S-man has shown that he can get hurt by electricity fromt Nuclear Man in Superman 4. But now I'm going to see S-man get his head taken off by Sub-Zero (assuming that's his fatality), get a bullet through his noggin from the Joker (Jesus Christ, S-man doesn't even get affected by bullets), and even get tossed around by Sonya Blade's legs?

Aside from his impenetrable defense, we all know S-man to have more power than any other character ever dreamed of. His one punch can tear apart an entire country. His arms can carry entire pieces of land. He can even turn back time (Superman 1)! Then why is it, that in this game, S-man punches like a mere mortal? Like a freaking softie???

 

Hell no! I will not allow this affront on S-man to be! We must defend S-man from this would be desecration of his powers! Sign this petition to make S-man 100x more powerful than any character in the game, for the sake of balance. Please!

 For someone who is a super hero fan from day 1 you sure aren't that much of a fan.

Its RAIDEN not RAYDEN ;)

Also, I think the point here is that Marvel wouldn't play ball, and its just a game.

S-man is a special breed.

In the marvel universe, there's no such person that has all the powers available. juggernaut may be strong, but he's eclipsed by gladiator and isn't very smart. he's a pretty good fit in there, in my view, because there are other characters who are just as strong and have unique qualities that potentially can beat him, such as colossus (just as powerful and body is tougher), wolverine (adamantium can cut him seriously), or psylocke (destroy his mind).

the problem with mk vs. dc is that superman cannot be beaten by any existing character in mk. no freaking way.

I'm an S-man fan. I didn't say I'm a super hero fan.

Superman all the way. Raiden or Rayden whatever can eat the sod!

 

But anyway, thanks for the correction lol. I'm not too much of an MK fan to take note of spelling discrepancies.

There are 2 s-man, pre infinite earth and post infinite earth the one you are discribing is the first one, but he can be hurt by magic too, the former one can be hurt but anything that hits him hard enought, kritonite and magic, and hes stregnth if not inlimited like in s-man pre infinite earth.

Update: just to add more info, the thing is Dc used to have many versions of superman and they where from multiple DC universes, in one s-man's girlfriend was luis lane in the other was wonder woman, etc. but this was treublesome for writers so DC decided to make a sagan in which all aternative universes are destroyed and only one was left.

Super man pre infinite is the one on the super friends cartoon and way back, he could move the earth with his strengh, and could only be hurt by kriptonite and magic, but in the infiniete earth saga that universe diseppeared. The post infinite earth is the one in JL united the modern cartoon, he can be hurt by robots and strong aliens and is no so strong.

update2: in kingdom come(look for it on google has the best ilutrations ever), s-man tried to stop a nuclear missile, the explotion burned his caped completly, detroyed part of his suit and was left bleed trough he's eyes, ears and nose. this proff he can take phisical  damage.

 

But even with all this explanations there is no way to justify MK vs DC.

Superman is also weak against magic. A lot of MK-characters have their skills based within magic.
