This will always be a classic!
-
Can't you do an interesting comparison just once?
Why only compare one super famous super hero to a nobody? Who gives a shit about "Captain Marvel"?
-
I mean, honestly, all you need to read is this part:
Name: Superman

Weight: 225lbs
Real Name: Kal-El, adopted as Clark Jospeh Kent
Origins: Comes from the planet Krypton. Gained powers from Earth’s lighter gravity and yellow sun.
Home Base: Metropolis
Identity Switches: Secrtely strips off his Clark clothes to reveal his Superman costume
Nicknames: Man of Steel, Man of Tomorrow, Man of Might, Action Ace, Big Red S, The Greatest Hero of Any Age, Champion of Truth, Justice and the American Way
Powers: Yellow sun solar absorption grants; super-strength, super-speed, invulnerabiltiy, super-breath (can produce high-level winds and reach well below freezing levels of cold), super-senses (including x-ray, heat, telescopic and microscopic vision), super-mind, regeneration, longevity, flying
Weaknesses: Kryptonite, magic, red-sun rays, anything from Krypton
Favorite Expressions: “ Great Krypton!”,” Great Scott!”,” Up, Up and Away!”, “This looks like a job for Superman!”
Name: Captain Marvel
Height: 5’4” (as Billy) 6’2” (as Captain Marvel)
Weight: 125lbs (as Billy) 250lbs (as Captain Marvel)

How come it didn't occur to Marvel they created a big pile of shit here?

Shazam: go ahead..touch it, its not kryptonite

Before i read this i would just like to state that i think Captain Marvel is a ridiculously powerful superhero that would lay waste to just about anybody. Superman is probably the only one that would better him in battle by a higher percentage - meaning that they are both capable of winning a battle but IMO Superman wins the war.

Well, let me know.
And I think CM is the more powerful, but it does come down to choice.

Superman over this twink any day
oh, brother ::)
-
Of course...the Shazam clip always leads to the Isis clip...many a young man's first cracking one off involved "Isis"...
-
Shazam tv series was pretty awful.
Character wise, there is no way Superman should be able to win against this guy. The power of 6 gods kicks the ass of an alien who just happens to be strong under a yellow sun anyday.

I can't believe that I, of all people, missed this connection. Surprise, surprise, surprise....

How about battles including Darkseid, Exodus, Captain Atom etc. Exodus is my favourite super villain because he seems to be able to do anything and is grossly underused by the writers.

The thing is, we have never really seen Supes really pissed off. The writers always hold him back, hold him to a standard in which he fights just to stop the person, not kill them.

Billy always looked butt-hurt...however in his case, his butt hurting wasn't the result of getting owned on GetBig.com :-X

SHAZAM WAS MUCH BETTER
THIS is the Proof!
They even had Ghetto-Man, with his superpower: Poor Standup!

It's a fantastic animation, but no way in hell does Black Adam get handled so easily like that.
Marvel has given Superman fits when he's been at 1/3rd strength. I know he's got a lame past to deal with, but written properly he should be the DC powerhouse. Superman just seems to manifest new abilities to suit whatever story line he's in at the time.

Don't know how to search for specific comics but in Kingdom Come - Freddy and Mary were clearly also present and Marvel was kicking Supes' ass five ways to Sunday.
-

one time out of many ASSWHooping superman has handed to captain marvel
superman is stronger....faster.. more durable..... more powers....

-
Shazam is stronger, faster, more durable and more powers than superman.

Read the write up my friend. CM is the only who has a knock out win between the two. CM has actually done better than supes in their fights.
And by the way, who's winning this punch up?
-
Tom Tyler was the perfect choice to play Captain Marvel, he was jacked (for the time), competed in strong man competitions and prize fighting. A true badass!!

better question who won?
did you see the vid i posted before super man trounced shazam....
shazam didnt win the battle you just posted
and to add captain marvel was being mind controlled... tricked into thing superman had gone rogue.. supes probably never wanted to go all out a la doomsday.....
in this fight both sides equal shazam beaten.... in every way..
not even close beaten battered into unconciousness...
then beaten by his own underhanded technique
when shazam faces doomsday or darksied... or moves earth... then we have something to debate about
-
Another excellent read. I genuinely believe that we really have not seen the best of Captain Marvel, his potential is there for all to see but ofcourse he must always be second fiddle to DC's poster boy. Superman is the Hulk Hogan of superheroes, pushed as the best but will eventually find someone to take his place once his worth lessens. The manifestations of new powers are simply a means to keep people interested in him, same as Hulk's multiple incarnations - if they dont adapt they become stale and fans cry out for a new hero.
Lets not take things too personally and realise these characters are scripted to win or lose by simple animators- not the fictional Gods that empower them as its not real! But as i initially said, when analysed in detail, at their strongest Superman is probably the only one who can win more battles 1 on 1 with Cap - although he will also lose and the fans HAVE to accept he's NOT unbeatable.
BTW i have never seen anything more ridiculous that Superman strapped to a planet and pulling it. I could not stop laughing, even in a comic sense it is a complete joke.

the cartoon you show was produced and written by Bruce Timm, who cannot stand CM and wanted to make Supes look better and he did. But we both know the cartoons are not cannon only the comics are.

Supermans weakness is magic, which Shazam has loads of.
Superman just does not stand a chance

Shazams powers are based on Magic, toe to toe he has the advantage, as Superman says here.

I guess we can go on and on but truth is, it's just a great fight that fans like to argue over.
