Fans of superhero franchises like DC are often seen arguing over who is the most powerful superhero of all time. While it might be a never-ending debate with numerous possibilities, let’s take one particular event into consideration where two Supermen were seen fighting against the Greek Demi-God Hercules.
Taking a fragment fromJustice Society of America Vol 3 #13, we see how New Earth Superman and Earth-22 Superman interrupt Hercules, who was fighting a losing battle against Gog, in Gotham City. In that very sequence, fans witness a Superman vs Hercules battle after the latter is interrupted in his fight. Evidently, the battle between the duo proved who’s the greatest superhero, with one solid punch.
Superman vs Hercules inJustice Society of America Vol 3 #13
In Geoff Johns and Alex Ross’ 2008 comic seriesJustice Society of America Vol 3 #13viaDC Fandom,Earth-22 Superman is seen flying toward the familiar city of Metropolis where he encounters his New Earth counterparts. Overwhelmed to see how those people are almost the same as the people he knew on Earth-22, the aged Superman is later seen meeting his New Earth version.

Introduced in the comics as New Earth Superman, this very counterpart of Earth-22 Superman starts having a conversation with the aged Kal-El. That’s when the Earth-22 Superman is interrupted as he hears distant rumbling and screaming from the city of Gotham. Arriving in Gotham the two Supermen find Hercules fighting a losing battle with Gog.
Interrupted in his battle by the arrival of the Supermen, Hercules eventually vents his frustration on the New Earth Superman. Attacking him with a strike strong enough to bloody Superman’s nose, the Greek God ends up shifting his focus from Gog to the Supermen. Meanwhile, Earth-22 Superman stands back and tries to fathom the New Earth Superman vs Hercules battle.
Superman’s One Punch was Enough to Defeat the Greek God
As the losing war between Hercules and Gog shifts towards the Greek God vs Superman, things take a bitter turn. While New Earth Superman faces Hercules with punches and strikes, Earth-22 Superman mentally prepares himself for the Greek God who was seemingly venting his lost battle with Gog, onto them. Suddenly Earth-22 Superman faces a blow from Hercules and withstands it, which previously knocked the New Earth Superman away.

Witnessing this, an undaunted Hercules charges toward Earth-22 Superman, who then grabs the Greek God’s fist with one hand, removes his golden tunic, and sends him flying with a punch. Addressing that Hercules isn’t worthy of compassion, especially after his recent attacks on the Amazons, Earth-22 Superman, and New Earth Superman team up against the Greek hero.
Thereafter, the New Earth Superman catches Hercules and smashes him into a large statue at high speed, completely stunning the Greek God. Following that attack, Hercules was unable to get back up which gave the two Supermen enough time to go after Gog. Well, following this particular segment from the comics, it’s pretty clearwho is the ultimate superherobetween Superman and Hercules.
While the New Earth Superman proved to be strong enough to shove the Greek God into a statue, the Earth-22 Superman simply knocked him out with a punch. The fight sequence mentioned in the comics, evidently showed who’s the real boss, when it comes to comparisons between Hercules and Superman.
