Question: 2. Could Doc have KOed your Superman in the same manner if given the opportunity?
Answer: 2. No
* * * * *
Apologies ... it's 5 AM here in DC, so I'm probably not writing very clearly at the moment.
Unless the "no" pertains to Superman's supersenses or speed, rather than invulnerability, it raises the question, John, of how you see your 1980s version of Superman's powers stack up against Hulk's powers -- and not just invulnerability, but strength, too. A character with your Superman's power level, I'm guessing, could knock Superman out ... if Samson couldn't, but could KO Hulk ... wouldn't that mean that your Superman would score a very facile one-shot KO over Hulk?
Similarly, if, say, Hulk couldn't have survived that 40 megaton nuke to the face that Superman did, wouldn't that mean that Hulk's peers/villains-in-strength, who don't threaten Hulk's life in a fell swoop, simply don't pack the power of a nuke in their fists; neither does the Hulk? But that Supernan, assuming he could KO himself as that 40 megatonner did, however, is on a level of power that is considerably greater than Hulk and Co. (Gladiator, Thor, Thanos, Surfer, etc.)?
Heck, if that's the case, what does it say about the power levels of Marvel's top shelf characters compared to Wonder Woman's?
Again, apologies if I'm not making any sense here. Insomnia's a bitch.
ADDED: Basically what I'm getting at (Christ, I need sleep!): is this:
... if Hercules and in-the-sea Namor and Sasquatch and Wonderman and (perhaps even) Gladiator couldn't KO Superman, but someone with Superman's strength could KO Superman, what sort of level does that, if it does at all, put Superman over those Marvelers?
