Both possess abilities that argue a strong case against Superman’s seeming dominance of the ‘who’s most powerful’ topic. Moreover, each one of them is capable of giving the benevolent Kryptonian a run for his money in a full-contact encounter. However, the question still lingers. Who among these three of us is the most powerful?

To answer that question, we have to take a closer look at these three characters, comparing their strengths and weaknesses against one another. This approach ought to get us to the conclusion that we are looking for. So without further ado, let’s begin.

Superman

Superman, one of DC Comics’ most commercially successful superheroes and undoubtedly the most familiar of our three characters is first up. The Man of Steel is oftentimes considered the most powerful character in the DC Universe. However, his amazing strengths have accompanying weaknesses.

Superman’s Strengths

Superman’s powers include the ability to fly, superhuman strength, vulnerability to earthling weapons, and sensory perception that far exceeds that of the average human.

Weaknesses

As mist us already know, as powerful as Superman and the rest of the Kryptonians are, they are anything but invincible. Their first and most commonly known weakness is Kryptonite exposure.

Then there are the other deficiencies that some of Clark Kent’s fans might not be aware of like, his weakness against psychical attacks – evidenced during his encounter with Roger Hayden. Aside from that, the Last Son of Krypton is also valuable to Red Sun radiation, electricity, and viruses.

*Superman’s powers have gone through vast changes since the 1930s and have been toned down somewhat in recent times*

Omni-Man

Image Comics’ Omni-Man is another super powerful alien who finds himself a resident of Earth, disguised as a best-selling author named Nolan Grayson. Just as with the Kryptonians, he comes from a mighty race known as the Viltrumites.

Omni-Man’s Abilities

Being one of the strongest of the Viltrumites, Omni-Man is able to effortlessly topple large structures, flying many times faster than the speed of sound, and to top things off, he is pretty much invulnerable.

Weaknesses

However, the Omni-Man and his Viltrumite kin are not completely indestructible. The race of high-powered aliens happens to have a weakness in the inner ear.  It plays a major role in how they fly and can be manipulated in order to destabilize them – or even cause direct injury.

Furthermore, The Viltrumites are also not impervious to the teeth of the Ragnar aliens, which can easily shred even their strongest individuals. Lastly, Omni-Man and all other Viltrumites are susceptible to the “Scourge Virus”, a bio-weapon that is tailored to target the race of super-beings.

Saitama

Lastly, we have Saitama from the Anime series, One Punch Man. This time our insanely powerful character is not a wandering being from another galaxy. Instead, Saitama is a “Superhero for fun” who is said to have gained his immense strength through a rigorous training schedule. However, there are constant hints to how that might not be all there is to it.

Saitama’s Strengths

Saitama possesses a level of physical fitness and confounding strength that makes him the strongest individual in his universe. To put this into perspective, Saitama is able to beat most of his opponents with a single punch. In terms of his speed, he passed a physical examination by clearing 1500m in an instant.

Saitama is also quite resilient. He has survived the vacuum of space a few times and completed atmospheric re-entry unscathed. To add to this, Saitama’s grueling training regime somehow gave him resistance to psychical attacks.

Weaknesses

To date, Saitama has never fought using the full potential of his strength and he generally just seems godlike. That said, this man has no known weaknesses.

The showdown of Superman, Omni-Man, and Saitama

All our characters have their set of strengths and weaknesses, making them questionable. Especially in the cases of Superman and Omni-Man.

However, when it comes to Saitama, the absence of known weaknesses tips the scale awkwardly in his favor. Nevertheless, that is not to say that an encounter with either one of the superbeings from space would push him to the limits of his abilities and possibly expose one of his unknown weaknesses. For now, though, Saitama seems to be the strongest contender.

Omni Man’s first appearance was in issue 1 of Invincible. Nolan Grayson is the husband to Debrah Grayson and father to Mark Grayson who would go on to become Invincible. The entire planet is aware that Omni Man is their most powerful superhero. Sometimes, he is a member of Guardians of the Globe. They are a team that closely resembles the Justice League.

Origin of the legendary Omni Man

Nolan Grayson aka Omni man is an alien. A member of the viltrumite race who came from the planet Viltrum. As Nolan’s son Mark approaches his 18th birthday, Nolan plans on to start training Mark who is half-alien and half earthling. He told Mark all about his life and the Viltrumite people. Viltrumites stationed Nolan on Earth where he met Mark’s mother and became Earth’s greatest champion.

Viltrumites

They are a benevolent race of beings who evolved through a form of Darwinism. After breeding the strongest of their people, they go out to the stars and begin to defend the universe for other weaker planets. Viltrumites also live to be 1000s of years old and their speed and strength are one of the highest in the universe. Additionally, they get more powerful as they age. So it is rare for a young Viltrumite to be stronger than a more mature or even elderly one.

Biggest early twist of the Invincible show

Omni Man is not exactly who he says he is. One day he summons the entire guardians of the globe team to their main base where he systematically dismantles all of them. He kills all of them easily. After slaughtering the entire team, he makes the rest of the planet believe that an unknown enemy attacked them. The remaining superheroes are obviously shocked to learn of their passing. Especially Mark, who looked up to the team and wanted to be a part of it one day. One of the team members, Immortal, survived. Well not exactly survived. He was resurrected by the Mauler twins so they can use him for manipulation.

Omni Man is a horrible father (SURPRISE!)

Nolan had to admit to Mark about killing the Guardians of the Globe. Then he went on to explain the truth about the Viltrumite people and their empire. Omni Man’s true purpose on earth was to conquer it. Mark’s shocked when learning all of this. He refuses to help his dad in his quest and then Omni Man attacks him. The fight is brutal and Nolan drastically overpowers him. After beating him nearly to death he leaves Earth.

In many other instances, Omni man completely destroyed his son. He knocked him through a mountain, punched him so hard he broke a mountain, knocked him through a cruise liner, destroyed a whole metropolitan city with him, and murdered an entire train of people with his head. One time when he knocked out Mark’s teeth in a fight, it made him have flashbacks of when Mark was a kid missing his front teeth. That flashback is the only reason Nolan didn’t kill his son.

Possibly one of the best villains ever made

Often switching back and forth between being a hero and a villain, Omni man is definitely one of the most interesting characters ever written. Being very similar to Superman’s powers he is the strongest hero on Earth. With a hate-love relationship with his son, it keeps the viewer waiting to see how Nolan and Mark will end up. Amazon confirmed that there will be a second and third season of Invincible, but the release date has not yet been confirmed.
