Do you think that Kara is more powerful than Superman?

It depends on what version you are talking about. By flying too close to the sun in ALL STAR SUPERMAN, he was slowly dying of an overdose of solar radiation which were causing his blood cells to explode but then, he became a being of pretty much pure energy and was able to live inside the sun building it an artificial heart.

In POST CRISIS comics, after he "Died" and was resurrected, he became more powerful and was able to fly directly into the sun to defeat Brainiac in "OUR WORLD'S AT WAR" comic. He even flew so close to the sun that it severely injured Darkseid in the SUPERGIRL comic this film is based off (A scene that got cut from the movie).

So I think it's safe to say that Superman or any kryptonian would only get more POWERFUL if they flew directly into the sun. Would it hurt them? Hell yes. But they'd survive.

Well, she trained by a whole island of warriors. Superman grow up winning fight relying on his strength and speed alone....or at least that's the impression I got.

Racist Game = Pool. WHITE ball push COLORED balls back into holes. BLACK ball out = you win.

Well, I realize in the comics that Superman is more powerful than Kara but in the movie, it's left ambiguous. Because Superman still beat her on Apokolips and she lasted much longer against Darkseid in Smallville.

So I'm asking about the movie.

Time to clear up a few things.

Supergirl in Superman: TAS was vulnerable to kryptonite, he finds her in a royal family stasis chamber with all her family members. All of her family were dead except for her, and she was his cousin.


In the comic version of this movie, Kara is younger and therefore stronger than Superman in terms of raw energy. She came to Earth when she was a teen, so it affects her physiology differently.

Superman is only able to beat with the kryptonite ring. They opted out of using that in the movie, but their battle is off screen. Just because Batman says she might more powerful, doesn't mean that Superman can't beat her. He could be faster, or more cunning, and utilize fight training that Batman or Wonder Woman could have given him.

Since their fight is off screen, it simply means that when Superman decides not to hold back, he doesn't hold back and can defeat someone more powerful than he is.



In the final battle in the comic version, Supergirl never fights Darkseid. He atomizes her with his Omega Beams, and fights Superman in front of the Sun. Superman wins and shoves him into the edge of the Universe, the Source Wall.


In the final battle of the movie, they wanted to have Supergirl do a bit of fighting, so they had to get rid of Superman for a bit, hence Darkseid shooting Superman into space.

In the animated series, Darkseid's Omega Beams mean instant death. Even Superman would not likely survive that kind of blast. Both Superman and Darkseid are de-powered in this stand alone movie.

Notice when Superman is struck, Darkseid gets him by surprise and he can't fight off the beams. Kara gives him a respite, but Darkseid is able to almost sucker punch him into space.

Kara uses her Amazon training in the final battle, not allowing the Omega Beams to get her as often. She tunnels underground, and also uses the beams on Darkseid himself. it shows how much she's changed in terms of power levels, barely being able to use them in the beginning of the movie, but going toe to toe with Darkseid in the final fight.

Through and through, Darkseid does defeat Kara and spares her life because he promised he would not on Apokolips. But Superman comes back to lay down his beating untilKara finally defeats Darkseid using the mother box, again utilizing smarts and not just raw strength. As Wonder Woman said: There's a difference between having power and knowing how to use it.
