Battle Summary

The most iconic cross-media battle of all time. Goku represents the pinnacle of martial arts progression and Ki mastery, while Superman stands as the quintessential superhero, a solar-powered god among mortals.

This battle often comes down to which versions are fighting. However, when taking their composite standard versions, Superman's infinite stamina, passive durability, and feats like holding black holes or shattering reality with pure physical force edge out Goku's stamina-draining transformations. It's a phenomenally close fight that Superman wins through sheer, unyielding endurance.
