Okay, I've watched about as much of that crap as I can handle. Am I to understand the focus of the show is magical karate? Why, pray tell, does everything involving magical karate need to be announced to one's opponent? Like, "special magic cannon!!!!!!111" and then more yelling, and then another 20 minutes later something happens.

Are you telling me you guys have watched an entire show? I got bored waiting to care.

.... /sigh ...

all 270+ ish episodes along with about 10 movies...

Unfortunately... yes, i have

It's something you have to do, to get you Nerd wings

LOL I'm a hobby programmer and I'm not fluent in Latin. I guess that makes my wings bronze?

I suppose I shouldn't have thrown down the gauntlet; I'm not exactly on the selection committee. If you survived anime, I'm sure your nerd mind is very resilient.

I would imagine so. Though I'm not familiar enough with DC rules to give a straight answer. I'd imagine his heat vision could accomplish it well enough. If he had to do it piece by piece...well he's as fast as light and can carry pretty well anything out of a gravity well, so I'd have to say yeah.

Cant say im overly familar with DC universe either, but i know for a fact that laser beam eyes would NOT destroy a planet, I mean, how long would it take for this pewpew eye laser to reach the planet core? or it he going to attempt to cut the planet into bits? Good luck either way

Have you seen episodes I haven't? Or perhaps you're referring to a comic? Goku was responsible for the destruction of one planet to my recollection, and it wasn't even actually him who pulled the trigger. It was Cell. I don't recall anything else that comes close other than Frieza's destruction of Namek. Noone has actually done more than destroy a planet at a time in anything I've seen.

Broly apperantly did it, in his first movie, he apperantly destroyed all of "South Universe" (so i just went with the assumption that it was 1/4 of the universe)

Exactly, no Gods, but a species of immense power ;-p

Vader needs line of sight for Telekinetic Kill, yes. But that can be accomplished with a real time image.

 I know, i still count that as a Line of Sight (Vader killing an Admiral in one of the movies from a view screen is a good example)

Worse for Goku, Vader had the ability of Absorb/Dissipate, which would have allowed him to eat each and every one of Goku's energy attacks and send them back to the source in the form of Force Lightning.     

I would pay to see that >.>

Of course, not all attacks with the Force must be line of sight. Most of the mental aspects can be utilized anywhere as long as one has sufficient power and skill.

Well, this all depends on your view of what Star Wars canon is, as Star Wars books (which are total garbage) tend to utilize The Force as an arbitrarily powerful weapon that can accomplish whatever thing the author wishes to demonstrate how badass their new Jedi or Sith is, while the films all demonstrate very clear limitations on what The Force can accomplish (we see that even Yoda, in the God-awful Episode II, struggles to prevent a large container from crushing Obi-Wan/Anakin).

Vader clearly cannot absorb lightsaber strokes and it appears that he requires at least some degree of concentration and conscious effort to absorb blaster fire (he had to extend his hand towards Han Solo and blocked the shots with his palm in the dining hall scene).

The only case I know of for potentially 'super strong' force application where the films are concerned is Vader's killing of Ozzel by simply seeing him in the view screen. However:

A) We don't know where Ozzel or Vader were located.

B) We are given many, many examples in other films where a powerful Jedi or Sith character has line of sight to an enemy via Holocron and does not act to kill or disable them even when it would be in their best interest (Anakin watching Obi-Wan get ambushed, Dooku watching the Republic forces landing, etc).

  

40K Psykers wielding the Powers of the Warp demonstrate far more power, even outside of crappy 40K literature (Simply fielding an Icon of Chaos Glory - a banner with a mere symbol drawn on it - for example, allows the model carrying the banner to become possessed by a monstrous Great Daemon of Chaos that can crush battle tanks).

The only REAL loser in a fight between Goku and Superman is the person who feels compelled to defend one or the other.

I proudly confess to not giving a shit.

 What the hell is a Goku?
