Talk:Goku VS Superman 2/@comment-14017325-20160406151545/@comment-30959936-20170110062653

Claiming that Superman is "only as strong as he needs to be" is just a fancy term to obfuscate the truth, which is that he has a shit ton of high-ends and low-ends littered across each continuity that make pinpointing his precise level of power difficult, but let me say this: If the plot demands it, then Superman WILL lose to Goku. But no version of Superman is limitless. You can have limitless potential without being infinitely powerful, and no version of Superman outside Cosmic Armor/Thought Robot Superman is an omnipotent being. Remember that even Prime couldn't stop Atom's universe from being destroyed because it was collapsing too fast. So yes, Superman has clearly defined limits outside the fused robot version of him. If Superman truly had no limits, there would be no need for the Justice League.
