 Goku is viewed by many fans and organizations as the Japanese equivalent of Superman, the world famous comic book superhero created by DC Comics. There are also many similarities between Goku and Superman. Both have similar origins (sent to another planet, home worlds destroyed, found by a nice elderly person who raised him as his own) and powers (super strength, super speed, flight, nigh-invulnerability) and both characters have died and been resurrected. In the 133rd edition (September 2002) of Wizard Magazine, a hypothetical Superman vs. Goku match up was published. Goku won the fight quite easily, needing to just tap into the first Super Saiyan level to defeat Superman. This became a target of criticism, since the writer of the article used incorrect information about the characters. Later that year, Wizard did a tally at the Toronto Fan Expo and New York Comicon on who would win. Over 80% of all people said Superman defeats Goku, but there are many factors to be considered and it is uncertain. Most importantly, the characters were designed for two totally different universes, and what is "powerful" for DC comics is different than what is "powerful" for Dragon Ball Z. Power in general is difficult to measure in the Dragon Ball story line. As far as many of Goku's abilities go when compared to Superman, it is unclear to show how strong Goku is because of his lack of consistency in his feats which demonstrate his great power. DC and Marvel actually already have problems with their differing power levels, and often ignore some factors to equalize things whenever they cross over. Goku vs. Superman will remain a hotly-debated topic for a long time to come. |

Goku uses Kamehameha.
Superman punches it back.
Repeat ad infinitum.

I think this signifies that there's truly nothing to talk about.  |

Oh, have some fun with it!
Well, this would be an interesting fight. I would think that Goku has to be at least at SSJ form to stand a chance. Now, he can go up to SSJ4 though... that could be a handful!
Goku lives to fight. He always seeks a challenge. I doubt he would cheat like that. He's not Batman. LOL

Superman, a time traveller? I think there was that one time when he shifted the earth so that it rotated in the opposite direction, and through some pseudo-science, reversed time. Other than that, can he normally time travel? Since he can travel at the speed of light, I guess he has the propensity to.

Goku is more likable character, IMO.

Well yeah. Cause Goku seems like he's high on happy pills.
Superman is a douche.
