For most of us , the only way we can make up one’s mind whether we are stronger than our favourite cousin is through an weapon system - grappling contest . However , Clark Kent and Kara Danvers do things differently . The two superheroes who both came from the planet Krypton often confront - off against supervillains and through the contests , we can tell who is stronger . We can also mold their intensity from the particular abilities that each of them possesses .

There are a couplet of things Kara can do that Clark only ' Kent ' do . Do masses still say " See what I did there ? " Because he is more popular , Superman has always been imagine of as the strong one , but is this really the display case ?   So we ’re going to   make an argument in favor of this perception , and also a typesetter’s case against it .

Stronger: He Is Still Able To Fight After Losing His Powers

They say you may easily judge a person ’s force by what they are able-bodied to do when they are at their weak . Whereas Kara has often been unable to do much when she ’s lose her mogul , Clark make out to still come out on top several times when he faced similar circumstances .

In 2016 ’s " Action Comics " # 4 , Clark lost his powers after he endanger himself to Kryptonite   to destroy his damaged jail cell ( guess Kryptonian chemotherapy ) . However , he was still capable to successfully defend himself against the villain Vandal Savage . How ? Superman made manipulation of his kinetic zip punch . What ’s this ? It is a special power that channel all the kinetic vigour generated from his forcible movements and externalize it into his fists .   And when he punches anything , it explodes . How awesome .

Weaker: Supergirl Defeated Him In a One-On-One Fight

In the finale ofSupergirl ’s season 2 , Superman was knock out by his full cousin . This fight deserved to be on pay - per - view . It should have headlinedWrestlemania . Kara but punch hard than Deontey Wilder .

You might marvel why these two were fighting , since they are family . Well , the villainess Queen Rhea ( Teri Hatcher ) was mind - controlling Clark , so he was act a bit out of character .

The fight took place in the street of National City , leaving plenty of damage . We just desire the Mayor placard them . These two ca n’t be destroying property all the time in the name of salve the domain .

Jon Kent (AKA Superman’s Young Adult Son) with Kryptonite in the background

Stronger: He Can Become Black Lightning… Seriously

No . Superman does n’t change his form . He just acquires electric power that are standardized to those of Jefferson Pierce , AKA Black Lightning . How presume he . I marvel why   Jefferson Pierce never file a lawsuit . This is distinctly blatant stealing of rational dimension / powers .

There was truly a time in the strip when Superman was powered by electricity , rather than solar vigour . Clark Kent ? No , call him Clark Tesla . Elon Muskwould be proud .   Just like Jefferson Pierce , Clark could   generate electromagnetic theater of operations and affect villains with thunder . He could also lift things using electricity . That was too much imitation . Go to motor hotel Jefferson .

Weaker: The Flash Always Beats Superman In Races But He Couldn’t Beat Supergirl

In theSupergirlcrossover episode " The World ’s Finest , " Kara proved to be as tight as The Flash , even with the Flash havingtachyonson his organic structure .   So , no matter how fast Barry moves , Kara can keep up .   In DC’sNew 52comics , Supergirl also   rival   Barry ’s f number in a race .   The same ca n’t be said of Superman .

Clark has never ever get the better of Barry in a backwash . In most of the comics , Barry has always moved quicker than him . And at the closing of theJustice Leaguemovie , we realise them gearing up for a race , but we do n’t know who really won , and chronicle favors The Flash .

Stronger: He Lifted 200 Quintillion Tons With One Hand

While Kara has never been known to be a weightlifter , Clark pretty much enjoy lifting . At one full point he wind 200 quintillion tons with one script like he was throw a soda bottle . Do n’t even try on to reckon how heavy that is . You might just get a megrim .

In the DC comic issueAll - Star Superman , Clark deal to go up all this weight after his consistency became rob by the sunlight . InSupermanmovies that were made before the turn of the century , Clark also nobble fairly much everything , every damn time . Planes . Buildings . Even major planet . It ’s surprising that all this lifting , his muscles never increase to abnormal stage .

Weaker: Superman Has a Conscience

Since Superman grow up on the world , he break a conscience . Kara , on the other bridge player , did n’t show up until she was a stripling . According to the funnies , she does n’t infer how thin the populace is so she always habituate all her powers ( no matter the result ) while fight .

Superman is quite the opposite word . He tends to limit himself because he is afraid that he might stimulate too much damage . As a result , Supergirl has always appeared stronger than her full cousin .

Stronger: He Dragged Dozens Of Planets To A Different Galaxy

He did what ?   This unbelievable act of strength by Clark fromSuperboy # 140deserves a stand standing ovation . You do n’t have to make everyone else look so infirm Clark . Come on .

Kara also does n’t bask hanging out in space much , but Clark does .   In the mentioned proceeds , Clark dragged the satellite from their own coltsfoot since the galaxy was dying . He went on to relocate them to a new Sunday and as a result , he save trillion of lives . Master of the population ? Pretty much .

Weaker: Too Much Solar Radiation Kills Superman

Even though superman ended up being much strong after soak up too much solar radioactivity inAll - Star Superman , he ultimately die because of it . Kara , on the other hand , can engross as much radiation as she wish without any negative effects .

After training Kara on several function , Bruce Wayne also reiterated this fact . InSuperman / Batman Vol . 2Wayne stated that after having expend more time on Krypton , Kara see how to control her eubstance ’s reaction to the sunshine and also resist her planet ’s heavy sobriety .

Stronger: The Super Solar Flare

humanity On Fireisn’t just a Denzel Washington movie . It is a Clark Kent power as well . In 2015’sSuperman # 38 , Clark proved that when someone makes him really mad , he can unleash all the energy in his electric cell to emit a vicious solar flash that can destroy anything that ’s locate within a few miles .

Basically , he is a dud . The fact that he has to get furious before pull this off reminds us of another guy from Marvel . The doubtfulness is , who would you rather offend ? Hulk or Superman ? It seems good to face up a green guy than getting blown away , right ? But we still would n’t advise scandalize Hulk , give the direction he beat Loki in 2012’sAvengers .

Weaker: He Couldn’t Defeat Anti-Monitor

The CW ’s '' Crisis Of Infinite ground " crossover case might release out different , but in the 1985 comic series with a similar name , Superman failed to get the better of Anti - proctor whereas Supergirl managed to do so . The Anti - Monitor is actually one of the strongest ever villains in the DC comic , so Kara deserves a tone of credit .

The Anti - Monitor has the ability to consume   both antimatter and confirming matter . He is capable of making and undo matter as he like while also being capable of altering reality . All this proved to be too much for Clark . So , Kara ill-use up and took care of business .
