Goku vs Superman: Strengths and Weakness

Goku’s Strengths and Weakness

Super Strength:

Goku is regarded as the universe's strongest, but I disagree with it. I believe Goku has never learned to say give up, he has always learned from his struggles and evolves as needed. Therefore, the training capacity is the strongest force that a superhero can have. And if we're talking about his physical strength then it's different:

Goku can lift up to 400 tons in his normal form and he can lift up to 20,000 tons in his Super Saiyan form and the list goes on as he continues to grow.

He also has high speed in hand-to-hand combat, i.e. Martial Arts. As he travels very smoothly, as shown in the series, from one point to another. These high-speed movements also enable him to produce an afterimage during battles.

Solar Flare:

Another Goku's skill produces an enormous white colored flash which can be used to blind an opponent as well as for a fast escape. Krillin and other Goku companions can also used this technique.

KaioKen:

This was King Kai's very first technique use to grow person's strength that Goku learned. This method follows by generating a red aura around your body that improves your physical strength and movement, i.e. speed. Goku has recently been seen taking the kaioken level up to 10 times higher than usual.

Flight:

Naturally, Goku has never been able to fly by birth. Goku used to have a Nimbus cloud which helped him in flying, as seen in the Dragon Ball series. But later, using his Ki, he learned to fly in the sky.

Instant Transmission:

Goku's ability in teleportation enables him to teleport in an instant from one point to another. But this method needs a lot of exercise and focus, as if you want to teleport yourself, you have to concentrate on solid source of energy. A method mostly performed by all Dragon Ball Z fighters.

Dragon Fist:

Next on the list we've got Dragon Fist, another powerful skill use by Goku. This method needed much more energy than Spirit Bomb, so Goku was once seen using this technique. Basically, this technique produces a illusion of dragon with one's Ki and either destroys or immediately demolishes the opponent by wrapping around them.

Healing:

In the last, we left with Goku's healing power. Yes, by providing injured his Ki, Goku can cure any living organism as seen in Dragon Ball Z.

Weaknesses

Tail:

Saiyans ' tail was used to be a big issue back then, as it represents the life of a Saiyan. Whenever they feel some kind of risk, it transforms them into Great Ape. But if somebody pick them up from tail, it makes them weak because it hurts so much and makes them helpless. That's why the tail needs to be removed from the body as a Saiyan gets older.

Stamina:

His next greatest weakness is his Stamina. Yes, as Goku and all other Dragon Ball Z fighters use their Ki to battle an opponent, their stamina is therefore running out very quickly. This is a natural weakness that is why it is impossible to solve it.

Surviving in Space:

There's a conflict over this weakness, some individuals believe a Saiyan can breathe in outer space while others are neglecting it. Yet individuals like us still agree with both parties. Goku and other Saiyan can and can not survive in space. Yes, as seen in movies and some episodes of Dragon Ball Z series, Goku and Burdock are only able to survive in outer space for a brief time. However, if they stay near to the surface of the Planet, this time difference can be increase.

Superman’s Strengths and Weakness

Strength

Superhuman Strength:

Superman power is much higher than any other ordinary human being and even majority of the superheroes. Superman is known for his strength yet it is not infinite. Calculating how much weight he can lift on his shoulders can measure his strength. Research shows that Superman can lift on his shoulders about 100 tons of weight.

Furthermore, strength also reflects his speed, his reflexes during a fight and the ability of flight with high speed. In addition, his superhuman breath also reflects his inhalation and exhalation ability with excellent intensity.

Invulnerability:

Superman is invincible against nearly every kind of harm. His skin is so hard that it is totally resistant to most recognized physical attacks. Superman is not entirely invincible, there are many things that can even cause death or left him injured.

Flight:

There is a huge difference between earth and krypton gravity, which is why Superman has the benefit of driving himself naturally and indecently at will through the air. He can travel readily from one planet to another at wind speed without any breath deficiency.

Super Vision:

X-Ray Vision and Heat Vision are two of Superman's key features, one of which is the strength to see through concrete objects, while the latter demonstrates a solar beam emitted from Superman's eyes aiming at various objects. The only drawback of x-ray vision is lead when an object composed of lead, because his x-ray vision is useless against lead objects. Likewise, his sight of heat is restricted to one hundred feet almost.

Master Combatant:

Superman is extremely qualified in hand-to-hand combat along with all other skills. Wildcat and Mongul teaches him these enhanced skill in boxing and fighting style. He also fought and learned different combat styles from Wonder Woman and Batman.

Weaknesses

Kryptonite:

Kryptonite, a stone that has the most impact. This is Superman's well-known weakness caused by Krypton's radioactive pieces. This stone, however, only impacts Superman when his body's electromagnetic radiation interacts with the stone that causes interference in the growth process. In addition, continuous exposure to this stone can lead to the death of Superman, but Kryptonite's impact can still be decreased by using lead material.

Red Sun Radiation:

Red Sun is a natural part of Krypton solar system, and its radiation is not as damaging as Kryptonite but still it effects at some instant. They just suck out all the yellow solar energy stored in the cells of Superman and left him powerless like other normal human beings. But Superman can easily revive from this damage if he exposes himself again to Earth’s solar system. Similarly, Superman is also affected by nuclear weapons.

Magic:

The powers of Superman are natural, you can think of him as a superhuman with super strength. Therefore, like other human beings, spells cast on him impact him on large scale, and his invulnerability does not offer a shield against magic.

Massive Physical Forces:

As we mentioned before, Superman is not completely invulnerable to extreme physical force and he gets injured during fights. But still, if he is badly wounded, his ability to absorb solar energy can help him overcome these weaknesses.

Conclusion:

Ultimately, if we conclude each analysis we've accomplished so far, we can see that in some aspects both are almost on the same level. We have Superman on one hand, a strong superhuman whose power depends on the exposure towards solar energy. While on the other hand we have a warrior who gains so much power and abilities through hard work and motivation.
