Nah, that's silly

The Death Star is 80,000 times larger than a Borg Cube and can blow up an entire planet.

Obviously anything's possible with some sneaky-sneaky assimilation growing out of control. But in terms of an actual ship to ship fight, come on, your body is about 80,000 times larger than a gnat.

I get second hand embarrassment from people saying stuff like that. Literally if I asked a Marvel fan: Who would win, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, or the titular character from my book, "Guy Who Automatically Wins Every Fight, Magically, Without Even Trying", like half of people would say my book sucks and so logically, the Hulk would punch him really hard, or whatever. It's so dumb.

Like no, it literally does not matter how shitty you think this book is, it's literally canon that your favorite super hero can lose, and canon that mine can't. If you fail at objectivity that hard why even bother talking about anything jesus christ

(Yes this is about Superman)

this is about Superman

Are there people who think Superman can beat One Punch Man or Goku or something?

More like people who think some well written character could beat Superman, a dog shit character who can throw planets, go faster than light, or do whatever the fuck they feel like he can do

"Oh well they would get kryptonite and" and Superman would just throw the planet into the sun. Even Superman's own content has to just pretend he's weaker than he was last time

It would be kinda interesting to think about approximately when Goku became stronger than Superman

Probably around Battle of Gods when they had the throwaway line about Goku & Beerus’s punches shaking the entire universe. I love Dragon Ball but it’s gotten sillier and sillier over time, which if I’m being honest I’m 100% here for
