Who is the strongest superhero? This question has sparked countless debates over the years among fans of superhero comics worldwide. To answer this question, Leicester University has conducted a comprehensive study to determine who ranks as the most powerful superhero in the Marvel and DC universes.
This research is based on scientific calculations regarding the abilities of superheroes as depicted in various comic book editions. All statistics about the superheroes were meticulously gathered, calculated, and compared in the most scientific manner possible. The study revealed that Superman is the superhero with the highest potential power in both the Marvel and DC universes.
Superman’s strength is not only due to his unique abilities; he possesses immense power that exceeds that of humans, with energy output measured in a remarkable 7.07 x 10^5 joules per second.
Other superheroes that ranked among the strongest include Wolverine, known for his rapid healing abilities, Mystique, who can shapeshift, and Thor, whose strength is comparable to Superman’s.
Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhumans, was also mentioned in this study as a superhero with potentially devastating abilities, particularly his capacity to unleash powerful sonic waves that could level an entire city.
The strength of Batman does not depend on his physical abilities.
Interestingly, in this study, some beloved superheroes like Batman ranked lower on the list because he is not known for any exceptional superpowers. However, it is worth noting that this only applies when considering raw physical strength, as Batman is still famous for his strategic planning and ability to outsmart opponents.
According to the study, without contingency plans or the ability to anticipate threats, Batman would struggle against any superhero from both Marvel and DC Comics.
