Medaka vs Superman (Read OP)

[The_real_cal_howard]

Check the board. Not an actual fight.

1. Who's better at giving their ideals?

2. Both are made to inspire others. Who's better at it?

3. Which one does the god-among-men thing better?

4. Who's the better paragon?

5. Who's the better character?

Always put why. Superman is composited with Post Crisis and All Star

1. Im not sure.

2. Idk here too. Most people are demoralized after seeing how much stronger geniuses can be, but then there is the fact that medaka is said to bring more than 100% of someone's power. So idk for sure.

3. Medaka easily via having an ability that literally called "preaching to the lesser mortals".

4. Medaka, that's her whole idea. Though she is so perfect she is ignorant towards how other's feel. So count that as you wish.

5. Well im gonna have to say Medaka probs via her being an idealistic concept made to make fun of shonen characters rather than just an op character that wrecks people.

1. Superman as he inspires countless people every day.

2. Superman. Literally every single hero and most people look up to him.

3. Superman doesn't really see himself as a god so Medaka wins by default.

4. Not sure. Both are considered perfect in their respective verses but I think I'll lean slightly towards Medaka for this since Superman does have his moments where he shows his flaws.

5. Superman easily. Under a competent writer like Grant Morrison or Mark Waid, Superman is easily top 5 best fictional characters ever created. Medaka Box seems underrated but it can't compare to stuff like All-Star Superman or Kingdom Come.

1 and 2

Is it inspiring in their own verses or generally?

 

[LordUrien935]

I'm inclined to believe it's for their own verses since if it's the latter then Superman stomps.

Yeah that's what im talking about. If it's overall, superman is literally the one who invented the "Superhero genre". No character in this wiki can even come close to competing.

In their verses im gonna still have to say Medaka might take 1 due to her whole point being about "reforming" other people and turning them good even managed to do the same with the minuses who are pretty deranged mofo's.

Medaka is a better written character (5) due to her trait of "being perfect" yet being "too perfect, so perfect she cannot understand everyone therefore being imperfect". Though their idea is the same "a god trying to addapt/live among men", but i feel like Medaka does it better especially with her ability The End allowing her to copy everything virtually possible except for the styles which require one to understand the other party and their feelings, something Medaka as a perfect being cannot do.

Don't think that trumps some of Superman's best stories but it's a matter of opinion.

Superman didn't invent the Superhero genre, he just defined what it is. The concept of a superhero/savior existed WAY before Superman, prime examples being Heracles, Beowulf, Gilgamesh etc.
