THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A TIME WHEN SUPERMAN COULD BEAT GOKU IN A FIGHT BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT GOKU HAS TRANSCENDED HIM. ARE YOU NUTS?! SUPERMAN HAD LITERALLY BECOME A GOD, PENETRATED THE SOURCE WALL, EVEN MET GOD AND PERFORMED OTHER GREAT FEATS PRIOR TO HIS 15,000 YEAR HOLY TRANSFORMATION IN THE SUN! EXCEPT THAT A MAJORITY OF HIS FEATS WERE EITHER RENDERED NON-CANON, DEBUNKED, INCONSISTENT, OR HIGHLY EXAGGERATED! GOKU ALSO MANAGED TO BECOME A GOD IN HIS LIFETIME THROUGH TRAINING AND ACHIEVED ULTRA INSTINCT COMPLETELY ON ACCIDENT AMONG OTHER VARIOUS FEATS ANALOGOUS TO SUPERMAN'S! HE IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR COMICS, ESPECIALLY DC! HE WAS THE FIRST SUPERHERO, TOO! EVERYTIME HE IS IN A PINCH, HE MANAGES TO COME OUT ON TOP! THEN GOKU IS THE PLATINUM, PRACTICALLY WITH HAIR TO MATCH. HE MANAGED SIMILARLY TIME AND AGAIN! CRUCIALLY, IN THE TOURNAMENT OF POWER WHEN HIS BACK WAS AGAINST THE WALL! YOU KNOW DAMN WELL SUPERMAN IS A MODEL-T FORD! HE WAS GREAT FOR HIS TIME BUT OTHERS WITH LEGITIMATE PLOT ARMOR HAVE BESTED HIM! EVEN BATMAN MANAGED TO ONE-UP HIM AND GOKU MAKES BATMAN LOOK LIKE A NOVICE! NO DOUBT HE HAS ACHIEVED THE MEANS TO BEST SOMEONE WHO BREAKS THE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS SUNTANNING, GOD POWER OR NOT!
