Goku

Oh Goku, you are so powerful. Your kamehameha could totally destroy the planet. You are faster than a speeding bullet and many other things which are even faster than that. Remember the time you fought Frieza? That was awesome.

This is going to be the most boring article I have ever written, since the reason Goku would beat Superman is fairly simple: Goku is every bit as powerful as Superman, but he has also trained for combat his entire life. He is like Superman, but if Superman knew kung-fu. Goku's punches shatter mountains, his energy blast are the size of smalls moons, he moves way too fast to be seen, and he does it all with the remarkable power of a diligent exercise regime, like some sort of outer space Billy Blanks. Goku's solution to any problem is training, whether it be training in a hyperbolic time chamber, training in 100 times earth's gravity, or training in the afterlife. I don't think Superman has ever trained for anything in his life. Goku can also teleport, which I imagine might also be useful at some point.

The thing about Superman is, I have never seen him make any attempt whatsoever to dodge or block any kind of hit. His MO is more or less to take everything right on the chin, because he is Superman and can take more punishment than most people can dish out. Against Goku that shit just wouldn't fly. Goku actually blocks and dodges super fast punches all the time. He's really good at it.

And of course, if it ever did look like Superman was going to win, Goku would just go Super Saiyan 5 or 6 or whatever number he is up to now.

Also, if Superman did actually win Goku would just come back more powerful than before.
