Superman
Superman, also known as Clark Kent and Kal-El is a superhero featured in DC Comics. A Kryptonian sent to Earth, he uses his super strength, flight, general invincibility, and other superpowers to protect the world and save the day. He has been featured in countless comics and animated media over the course of almost a century and is arguably the most famous comic character ever.
Tournament History
[edit | edit source]Superman appeared as the first seed in the first ever Mr. /co/lympus tournament, Mr. /co/lympus 2018. He would have a successful run, using his status as a /co/ icon to stomp matches all the way until the Quarterfinals, where he would lose a DC vs Marvel match against J. Jonah Jameson and land 6th place in the consolation match.
However his return year of 2020 would prove to be his kryptonite as he shockingly didn't even qualify, obtaining only 54/70 of the needed votes to make it into the 128. Future showings would see Supes faring no better; he jobbed round 1 to Danny Fenton in 2021, jobbing round 1 yet again to Dan in 2022, and then in 2023 he would receive the bare minimum amount of votes required to qualify before losing to Jack Skellington. This has caused him to be seen as a jobber, especially by Goku posters who claim his string of round 1 losses as another victory in the eternal rivalry between Superman and Goku. Whether or not Superman will ever regain his former strength in the tournaments remains to be seen.
In 2024 Superman notably scored his first round one victory since 2018 in a year marked by unusually impressive performances for comic characters, to the welcome surprise of fans despite the ensuing defeat to Mojo Jojo.
