So, how would Superman (and Superman one million) fare in the Warhammer 40k universe?

[Chrome Hyena]

So how would base full power Superman fare in the Warhammer 40k universe? Who would/could oppose him? Who would be easiest for him to put down, and who would be the worst?


And would the souped-up Superman One million fare?

His particular powers:

Kal Kent has Kryptonian powers that have evolved very far in the future. His default Kryptonian powers (super strength, invulnerability, super speed, super senses, super breath, freeze breath, flight, x-ray vision and quantum vision) appear on par with the vastly more powerful Silver Age Superman.

Due to other alien/extradimensional admixtures in the Superman Dynasty bloodline, he also has additional powers such as super ESP, force vision, telepathy, electromagnetic manipulation and an additional 10 senses. Kal gets the energy for his main powers from the original Superman Kal-El and Earth's Super-Sun.

This future descendant of Superman has stated that he himself is "Faster than a speeding tachyon, more powerful than a collapsing star and able to leap between planets in a single bound". He is said to be capable of punching through time itself (plot device) and hear spoken words on other planets.


So who wins this all out fight? Superman:

Or 40K:

 

[OhSatan]

I mean a random guardsman is better written than supes 1 million so...

 

[Siggy-P]

Most versions of him have tanked a nuke to the face. He's invincible to nearly anything that isn't a librarian equivalent.

 

[Lonewolf]

Supes 1M easy. No magic in 40K, few could challenge him mentally, and none physically.

I think one could argue that the warp itself is magic incarnate.

 

[Deleted member 24118]

The Necron are able to explode any star they want whenever they want with zero warning.

A basic Imperial Guardsman can be armed with grenades and missiles that literally suck you into hell.

 

[Qasiel]

Would Supes be as susceptible to warp powers as he is magic? Because if so, Supes is dead.

 

[Godfather]

Supes 1M easy. No magic in 40K, few could challenge him mentally, and none physically.

Isn't the warp basically magic? Tzeentch and stuff like that should be pretty efffective with Superman's weakness. Also, doesn't he only get his power from our yellow sun? The imperium stretches across tons of places with no sun, let alone a yellow one.

 

[jon bones]

i don't see how clark makes it out of this one - 40k is pretty gnarly

 

[water_wendi]

Superman 1M studied beside the Emperor right?

It's not. It's a type of energy .

But regardless it would probbaly still work anyway. It's not that superman is weak to magic but more that he has no protection against it. You could open a warp portal in front of him as he's flying and dump into a different dimension.

 

[Netherscourge]

Is Kryptonite weaponized in 40k?

 

[echoshifting]

Doesn't Superman rely on a yellow sun for his powers? The 40K universe is vast.

 

[Mudcrab]

Somehow he'd end up in Trazyn's collection I'm sure

Not really? He's been away from the sun plenty of times without any negative effects. Depends on the Supes and the writer.

I know I have read stories where he slowly loses power on long space adventures, admittedly a long time ago

 

[Septimus Prime]

I don't know enough about 40K to answer, but I wanted to point something out about Kal.

Regarding this:

Due to other alien/extradimensional admixtures in the Superman Dynasty bloodline, he also has additional powers such as super ESP, force vision, telepathy, electromagnetic manipulation and an additional 10 senses.

These genes also include those of 5-D imps like Mxyzsptlk. These imps are easily at least Galactus level.

 

[Avinash117]

Superman is fairly broken and so is some of the 40k stuff, but only a few weapons and tech would do anything to him. Some of the weapons that can reasonably hurt Superman he might able to avoid damage considering can move extremely fast and fly.

 

[SageShinigami]

I thought this said Superman Prime. Superman 1M has about a week to clear up any problems and get back to his own solar system or he becomes a human.

 

[Slayven]

 

[gforguava]

Kal Kent takes this easily. He is Superman taken to hilarious extremes, his powers are incalculable and he has no weaknesses.

Not true, if he is away from the Super Sun too long he is brought down to merely being more powerful than normal superman. Remember he was on fumes and still punched through time

 

[Deleted member 25600]

Or a blue sun. Blue suns supercharge him and give him extra powers.

Really any sun except a red sun will give him powers.

 

[gforguava]

True but considering he can basically travel anywhere nearly instantaneously, getting back would never really be a problem.

I guess if the entire 40K universe teamed up they might have a shot. Maybe.

 

[Slayven]

The fact in the one million time Superheroes are largely there for show is the only reason that explains John FUCKING Fox as the future Flash.

 

[UltraMav]

I'm not up to speed on comics. Can One Million Supes be brought back from the dead like regular Supes?

Mxy is well beyond Galactus.

 

[Pbae]

If 40k can just blip out suns and send him to phantom zone like dimensions I'd think 40k takes it.

 

[Actinium]

I have never heard of superman 1 million so not touching that. Superman would fair pretty well in 40k overall, He's probably above a primarch in most ways which is breathing rarefied air in the 41st millennium. His big weaknesses to magic and or powerhouse psykers would be a real danger but the kind of speeds and durability supes is capable of makes engaging him with traditional 40k forces hard. He basically belongs in battlefleet gothic scale fighting armadas and leviathans rather than warhammer scale. 40k of course scales up further to gods and wargear so exotic that supes is unlikely to see it in a hundred hundred years of non-stop fighting but that kind of stuff is like saying ghazkull is nothing because he can be hit by a titan class d-cannon, it just wouldn't happen like that. If anything the sheer horror of being forced to kill millions after millions just to defend himself for not being devote to the imperial church would depress him into running away long before his casualty count got high enough to make someone strong enough to hurt him notice he existed.

 

[TheCthultist]

I'm starting to remember why I hate comics...

Either way, he'd fare pretty damn well up until it came time to deal with the Warp in any meaningful way.

 

[Deleted member 13328]

His body would manage fine, his mind not so much. Hearing millions of souls screaming in anguish while the gods of Chaos feasts on their souls.

 

[Finaika]

It depends: Do the Warhammer 40K dudes have kryptonite?

 

[Septimus Prime]

Mxy is well beyond Galactus.

I was being conservative. But yeah, he's closer to Mad Jim Jaspers.

 

[TheMadTitan]

He still does. Superman under a yellow sun is a smartphone plugged into the charger. Superman away from the yellow sun is a smartphone at 100% off of the charger.

Connected to a charger, you can still deplete your battery depending on certain conditions and how hard you're pushing your phone, but any loss is going to be modest. Out and about off of your charger, your phone's charge can vary based on what you're doing still.

Superman is the cell phone. And he has a bigass battery.

Then there's not just the fact that he can last awhile without a yellow sun, other stars can boost his powers significantly. Fight him in the wrong solar system and he might be six times stronger than normal.

 

[TheMadTitan]

Mxy is past Jaspers, probably. Mxy is more akin to a Beyonder than anything.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

As much as I love Supes, he is out of his league on WH40K. The warp is home for so much shit that could break him.

 

[Temp_User]

Short of the Ruinous Powers and probably the Aeldari gods, Supes could probably go through anything WH40K throws at him. People there would probably think of him as a C'tan with the way he bathes in the sun.

 

[L4DANathan]

Gonna say the 40k universe, as he'll be swapping which star he's near on a regular basis, not to mention he gets unlucky and ends up in the Warp, where he can potentially spend an eternity without a sun. He'd actually be akin to a Primarch, in that he's an "instant win" button for whichever system he's in, but the rate of multiplication of forces would overwhelm his ability to defeat them.

 

[TheCthultist]

His body would manage fine, his mind not so much. Hearing millions of souls screaming in anguish while the gods of Chaos feasts on their souls.

This is the important thing to keep in mind. 40k is a twisted nightmare of war, agony, and constant suffering on galaxy-wide scales anywhere you look. Being that Superman has had trouble blocking out the voices on a single planet (and that Superman One Million can apparently... hear through space to other planets?) he's going to be endlessly bombarded by the tortured screams and desperate cries of not just the innumerable humans suffering in the universe, but those of xenos as well... And some of the things happening to them are straight up indescribable in terms of how horrible it is.

Madness is a key element constantly at work in the 40k universe. It'd be reasonable to assume he has little defense against the things he'd be hearing.

 

[Human Resources]

but what if the orks really think they can beat him

 

[sirap]

Superman with a good pair of ANC headphones takes it.

 

[Sargerus]

The Warp would wreck Superman.

 

[Heroicpiglet]

Depends on if the Necron can hit him with the C'tan destroying weapon, which results in wounds in reality.

 

[Bizazedo]

40k. Mainly because....

In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war.

He'd be worn down.

And this. There's a reason Necrons will be the 9th edition main antagonist, at least in the beginning.

Virus Bomb Exterminatus to whatever planet he is on.

Doesnt matter how strong you think you are, everything organic on the entire planet gets ripped apart at the molecular level in a matter of minutes and turned into highly flammable sludge and gasses which are then ignited with a lance strike to cleanse the planet and leave nothing but a desert wasteland.

 

[SupremeWu]

I dont know much about warhammer but voted Superman because from what I understand Superman 1million is basically like Superman times 1 million, he lived in the sun for a while, and uh, Warhammer has, spaceships and orcs
