5 Reasons Son Goku is a better hero than Superman

Now I'm just going to start by saying that I love Superman. I just felt like writing this.

1. Son Goku had to train endlessly to obtain his power, so he became strong on his own, earning his power. (Not saying Superman doesn't deserve his.)

2. He has no Kryptonite like weaknesses.

3. He doesn't have to worry about hiding his identity thus making it easier for him to save people.

4. Even many of his enemies cannot hate him forever. (Kuririn, Yamucha, Tenshinhan, Piccolo and to a lesser extent Vegeta)

5. He has been able to help others become stronger.

Arguments anyone?

"2. He has no Kryptonite like weaknesses."

Tail?
I know it doesn't kill him per se but still...

but agreed otherwise.

Yeah, only for a little while. It was only a problem until just past the Uranai Baba saga.

The truth is.... I am Son-Cal.

- No this is BS. Superman needs to learn how to control his power and use it creatively. Goku had teachers who taught him how to use it. Also Superman from time to time need to do things without his abilities. But Goku though obtained his powers for himself. Superman has to master his so he doesn't kill everyone.

- Spoken like someone who doesn't read the comics.

- Goku lives in the middle of nowhere and all his friends have super powers. And easier to save people? The DBZ series is mostly about how the baddies go after Goku. I mean the entire Android/Cell Saga is about killing Goku. If his identity wasn't known it wouldn't have happened. Serious my bad. Also he doesn't go out and save people. If he comes across them he will help. But he doesn't actively try to do it.

Of course this is why Gohan get's a costume to fight crime......

- Enemies? The first three weren't his enemies. They were rivals. But they never hated him. Piccolo was inherited and is a special case. Vegeta had his own issues. But Frieza and Cell sure as hell hated him.

And again it sounds like you don't read the comics. Most of his baddies don't hate Superman but the man impedes their jobs.

- Superman created peace on earth by the year 3000. His example has created legions of do gooders.

You have proven to mean that you don't know anything about Superman and are just doing some weird powers contest like it matters.

Goku saved a school bus but he still never gets to save a running train, plus he don't got an awesome quote like, it's a bird.. it's a plane.. it's.. Superman Superman..
