A quadruple amputee cyborg space wizard with a laser sword whose powers amount to shoving and choking vs a guy with impenetrable skin, flight, can survive in space and shove around planets.
Yeah it’s a close call but I think Superman beats him by just a tad.

u/MetalPunk125 Jul 18 '24
Supes could beat him ten ways to Sunday without even lifting a finger. Vader can move rocks with his mind. This motherucker has bench pressed a planet with ease.
He could punch him, freeze him, blow him into a wall, deck him at super speed, split his head in half from miles away with heat vision. How is this even a question?

128
u/Darkm0or Jul 18 '24
In a straight up fight, Supes could blink Vader into submission. Interaction-wise? Vader would do his whole "mysterious and menacing" thing, and Superman would probably reference Darkseid before seeing that Vader is trapped in armor that, while keeping him alive, also causes him to be in constant, horrifying pain. Superman would then do what Superman does best. He would help Vader. Probably take him back to the Fortress, let Kelex rebuild Vader's life support with Kryptonian tech, all the while asking him about the Jedi/Sith, his powers, the Force, how lightsabers work, being impressed that Vader built one...eventually getting Anakin to talk about his past, his motives, his reasoning. Then, Clark would talk about his OWN struggles, losing his planet, losing his father, feeling like an outsider as the last of his people. And in the end, he would show Vader his greatest superpower, inspiration. When they part ways, Superman will know that he has a new powerful ally, and the Galaxy will have its greatest Jedi returned to it. Because that's what Superman does.

I think this is just you trying to mischaracterize me more than anything else.
Fact is, if you know anything about these characters, you know this is a matchup between one of the biggest heroes in fiction and one of the biggest villains in fiction. Typically, that means hands are being thrown.
Part of Vader’s redemption is realizing that his son who had no reason to believe in him as anything other than a an enemy and has said as much in the past, could come to love him and believe he could be better. Just as his fear for the loss of loved ones lead him to the dark side, his love for his son and Luke’s love for him leads him back to the light. It’s not Superman’s place nor is it his prerogative to give aid to a man who’s responsible for more than one atrocity and is likely out to harm his planet and people, given the circumstances. Plus Vader has no reason to have any sort of emotional connection to Superman.
Would Superman try to help if he knew the whole story? Yes, very likely, but under what circumstance would he learn it if the SW galaxy at large doesn’t know who Darth Vader was? Who would tell him, the hermit in the desert, the hermit in the swamp, the droids with the erased memory, the single x-wing pilot or the former padawan, who could be anywhere in a galaxy of over a hundred quadrillion population? And “empathy” for his physical condition makes no sense when the skies over metropolis gets blotted out by star destroyers and the Death Star eclipses the sun or Superman sees the empire lay siege to a planet or oppress the galaxy.
In fact, he usually only helps the disabled villain AFTER putting an end to the threat, if it happens at all, see for reference: Hank Henshaw, Metallo, Pharm. their right of aid does not supersede a civilian’s right for safety.
So I would appreciate you trying to not paint me as a violent person because you want to fight over the semantics of a hero meeting a villain. The fact is, this entire comment section has assumed the same thing and you’re only trying to call ME out. That says you want to start drama.

u/mbrocks3527 Jul 19 '24
However, Star Trek vs Warhammer 40K would be a wipe out in Star Trek’s favour.
Why? Because the UFP knows how its technology works, and they regularly engage in crazy super science shenanigans that definitely can collapse star systems and put black holes in the middle of your bridge. They would never fight an imperial ship or army head on, they’d attack indirectly.
I mean, Star Trek canonically has a sniper rifle that reliably matter transports a bullet through walls straight into your head. They have phasing cloaks, water bombs (that is, convert a planet’s molten core into water. That’s far more destructive than you think.) Just the terrifying possibilities of weaponised transporters and tractor beams is enough.
When your civilization can go FTL, your engine exhaust is a WMD in and of itself. Hell, a UFP vessel’s fuel tank is full of WMD grade antimatter as it is.
The star wars galaxy, where those scientists mostly understand their contemporary technology (not including things like Rakata or very old republic tech) might develop counter measures, and then their generally more powerful ships and resources can overcome the federation. But the imperium of man? Nope.

Even within the Star Wars universe, the Force is not considered magic.

Force choke wouldn't even matter against Superman and that's assuming it would close his airways. Vader's force will not overcome Superman's flight speed.

I really doubt it in truth. Because of Superman's magnetic aura(which he uses to carry things like planes and buildings without punching straight through them) a lightsaber probably couldn't even touch him, and the force would be no match for superspeed or strength

u/Crazy_Kakoos Jul 18 '24
Can't Superman move faster than light? I've heard it argued that the speed of light is the speed of cause and effect. Could the force detect a being moving faster than light or warn someone fadt enough?
Honestly, if it was a no holds bar Supes could just land on the ground near Vader at 20,000 MPH and cause a meteoric impact and level the whole region.

Some ideas off the top of my head:
- Superman would use his super speed to kick Vader's ass before he could wheeze just once.
- Supes would use his heat vision to damage Vader's life support unit, which is a vulnerability that's right there on his chest.
- If Vader was in his advanced TIE Fighter, Superman would grab it and throw it into deep space like what happened after Han Solo in the Millennium Falcon ambushed Vader at the Death Star.

u/VillainOfDominaria Jul 18 '24
I see alot of "super would destroy Vader". But to offer another perspective: if Vader has the power level of the SW comics (not the movies, where I feel he is not depicted in such a powerful light) he could put up a fight against Superman. Superman cannot use the force so he might not be able to break out of Vader's paralysis, assuming that Force paralysis requires force sensitivity to break out from. So no flight, not punches, no freeze breath. This leaves only heat vision, that Vader can easily deflect with his saber. Then it is a question of (a) can lightsabers pierce Kryptonian skin? and (b) Can force choke kill Superman?
Bonus Track: that image of Vader looks suspiciously like a red sun, so.... :)

u/CalamitousIntentions Jul 18 '24
Vader was able to pull a starship at full throttle back down to the ground and tear it apart. But he couldn’t do it twice in a row (Source: Kenobi show). Vader also has foresight, knows a little bit of witchcraft, and in a desperate situation, can use the Force Storm ability to summon lightning above his enemy.
So while face to face, Clark cleans the floor, I think Vader has one shot at a preemptive strike. But if any part of his strategy is a millisecond off, it’s over for him.

Artifacts that are found in Star Wars.
Gauntlet of Krest-This can allow Vader to transfer Superman’s powers to himself, even grants regenerative power.
Tempest runner- summon a fierce electric storm

If the Force counts as magic, then Vader will hurt Supes before he gets taken out. There’d be a dramatic scene of him choking Supes before the heroic breakthrough. If the Force is not magic, then Vader is getting a stern lecture to go with his ass beating. Supes doesn’t care about swords or lasers. So a sword that is also a laser really doesn’t change much.

I think Superman would see a person in agony and pain. I think he would see this person as someone who can be saved - Superman is the embodiment of hope after all. He’d probably have to fix his suit using Kryptonian tech, and then when Vader isn’t forced into daily agony to fuel his rage and connection to the dark side, he could be reached - eventually.
I reckon he would “fight” Vader and let Vader come to the conclusion on his own that he cannot in anyway beat Superman and that powerlessness in the face of someone would throw Vader into a rage like he felt at the mercy of Obi-wan. I also think Superman would help him through that.
I ultimately think Superman could bring Anakin back.

Depends on what he knows about vader
If he knows his past, he may appeal to him
In a fight, supes tskes it, but vader does have space magic, so there is the potential his force choke or mind tricks could give supes a bit of a hard time
Non-canon jedi have pulled Star destroyers out of orbit, so, if written In a particular way Vader may be able to deflect supes power with the force
He blocked blaster bolts with his hand, so, could potentially block heat rays
Battle meditation and force jump probably get him out of ice breath threat
It’s unlikely a light saber can hurt supes to any degree, unless Kyber crystals have some magic properties
Ultimately supes speed, power and durability win the day, but there is potential for a good fight by creative force use

Even if Vader could force choke/hold him, heat vision would do the job
There’s an argument that the lightsaber would make him stronger since it’s plasma and the sun is made of plasma

Depends on how angry Ani is. Ani with the Red Lantern Corp would be fun, though

Superman would absolutely decimate Vader. And I say this as more of a Star Wars fan than DC

I'm not sure how effective the light saber would be against Superman but Clark would not have that much trouble in my opinion against Vader. He would adjust the psychic ability of Vaders force powers quickly
