Okay, so who would win in a fight, He-Man or Superman? I just want to know what people think about this one. I know that Supes is more popular, but let us think about their powers and motivations here. Give me some incite and your knowledge of both heroes. My opinion, I think the battle would be a great one and would last for several days, but ultimately He-man would be victorious.

Superman wins, because he's like Goku, while He-man is more grounded in reality and has shown that there are definite limits to his powers.

That doesn't mean superhumans like He-man aren't frightening forces of nature if seen in a realistic light. I will show that in my comics. You think a grizzly with rabies is scary?

However, He-man doesn't have a glaring weakness to a rock that is supposedly rare, but actually more common than dirt.

I agree, although he-man has stronger plot armor.

But He-Man has no brain to speak of...at least not in the earlier version of his show. Now maybe on the later version of his show, he may have had half a chance against Supes.

All I can say about kryptonite is that Krypton must have been a lot closer than we thought and the size of a gas giant to send as much debris for all of Superman's enemies (and even Batman) to get a chunk of it... ;)

Superman would win, definitely. Why? Because while Kryptonite is some scary stuff, He-Man has an even greater weakness: his pretty, Danish boy haircut.

Supes. How could he not?

He-Man may have big bulgey muscles but Supes lifts whole buildings, ships etc etc ... and that's before he starts using his heat vision or super speed or flight. Foregone conclusion, I'm afraid.

Oh, and there is no kryptonite in Eternia. Different universe.

Kryptonite is everywhere. 4th Law of Thermodynamics.

Hey folks I just wanted to point out one major detail you all are leaving out, Magic. Superman is also vulnerable to magic. He-man's source of power is from magic.
Coupled with Kryptonite and a blast of magic Superman could be beaten by He-Man. Also in defense of my Eternian hero, He is quite clever and often uses his wisdom to defeat many of his adversaries.

I'm going to say what I say to any discussion where it's Superman vs. ANYONE.

The bottom line in my opinion is that he's a God-moder. He's one of those characters that are too powerful. It's like asking if the universe could beat the sun. Although the sun is powerful... we're talking about the -universe-, here.

He's by no means my favorite superhero, but I have come to terms with the fact that he could beat a -lot- of people. In one sitting, even.

Good point. But on the other hand, Clark Kent doesn't spend his time in pink and purple form fitting attire, Prince Adam though ...

Oh, has that been proven now? I thought it was still just a theory.

Worst crossover ever. Again, let me point out the aspect of plot armor. Superman has died a few times by now, but the worst thing that happened to he man was being canceled.

I don't think he ever lost. Like the ninja turtles, thundercats, the kids next door, the real ghostbusters, GI Joes, and all the other classic cartoons that have horrible new computer generated versions coming out. Its horrible, and let us never speak of either character again.

worst thread ever

@ Dom:
A lot of ppl can beat Superman. But at their level it's just not fun anymore.

Steve
spend his time in pink and purple form fitting attire,

Well, you know... aesthetically speaking the whole show is LOL.

Marine
Worst crossover ever.

(Any spandex superhero) x (Any non-superhero franchise) = (Worst x ever)
That genre just can't exist within any other reality. It just can't.

So Many He-Man Haters. Have you ever read the comics? I think that many people only know of the cartoon as MOTU's only source material. Come on, why does it alwyas have to go back to the fact that Adam wears pink!

...again not talking just about the cartoon! Like all Heroes, He-Man has been defeated, captured and such. MONKEYS! I am the only one defending He-Man here!
Does any one other than me know enough about He-man's actual powers and abilities! He did not just have the power to WEAR A PINK VEST! LOL (although he did pull it off)!

Hey, I don't have to try to defend He-man. He's in my comic.

As for "He-man isn't just the 80's cartoons." Well, actually, that is He-man. That is the canon of canon. The newer cartoons, the comics, the whatever. You can call that He-man but it's not.

About the only thing more canon than the 80's cartoons, are those little comics that came with the figures (and boy were those awesome... He-man was mean in those, like a blonde Conan).

wesxcomics makes a valid point with the magic as He-Man's power source, but Superman could just fry his girly butt when he's in Prince Adam mode and be done with it.

Now Hordak... he was a badass.

Somehow I picture them forever bouncing off each other like rubber balls on some forgotten meleo on a rock that should never have qualified for a planet.

That's hilarious! lol!

He-man's biggest issue is the hairstyle... That faggy 70's semi-long style of the "groovy" rockers who were family safe... Him and prince Valiant, Robin Hood etc always get stuck with that. :(

Either cut it or grow it long guys! Like that they just look like 1920's flapper girls. Put them in short dresses and make them dance the Charleston!

...I still have a Ram-man figure somewhere. He was amazingly lame... He-man had a challenging time defeating someone who's only attack is a head-butt, what chance does he have against a force of nature like Supe?

How many He-man characters had names with "man" on the end? And you talk about better plots... Either they were all Jewish or German or something, or it was a very obvious toy advertisement.

(and boy were those awesome... He-man was mean in those, like a blonde Conan).

Originally, the He-Man action figures were designed as a toyline for the Conan The Barbarian movie. However, due to the sex and violence of the film, the idea of marketing a toyline for children based on such an adult film was scrapped.
