Super-Skrull

I can explain Super-Skrull's superiority to Superman with a simple mathematic equation. Skrulls are superior to humans. At least 2.5 times better. So if a regular skrull is that much better than a person, it is only logical that a Super-Skrull is 2.5 time sbetter than a Superman. Simple mathematics. If Skrull > Man, and Super=(X)100, (Skrull)100>(Man)100. Math people.

Of course, not everyone subscribes to the logical reason of a brilliant mathematical equation, so I will break it down further. Super-Skrull possesses the combined superpowers of the Fantastic Four, plus he can hypnotize people. Also, as a skrull he is a natural shape shifter. All these powers work together to form a being that could defeat Superman with fairly little trouble.

Thing is, no single member of the Fantastic Four alone could defeat Superman. Even the four of them at the same time probably couldn't do it. The Thing and Mr. Fantastic (thanks to his elasticity) could take a few hits from him without biting it, but they lack the power to actually do any damage to him. The Invisible Woman could form a tiny force field inside his brain, killing him instantly, but she couldn't take any hits from him and Superman is way too fast for her to protect herself using the fields. The Human Torch would be pretty ineffectual in all respects, save the ability to fly his powers grant Kl'rt. A nova flame might slow Supes down momentarily but probably wouldn't kill him.

However, all these powers combined with Super-Skrull's combat training, shape shifting, and hypnosis make for a nigh-unstoppable force. Kl'rt's elasticity (which basically makes it impossible to land a solid blow against him, it'd be like punching a sponge for Clarky), strength, and force fields would buy him the time he needed to use his invisible force fields to either rip Superman apart from the inside or cause a stroke-inducing blockage in his brain, putting Superman down but good. Or to possibly hypnotize Superman into gouging his own eyes out with a kryptonite fork. Should Superman actually make that killing blow, Super-Skrull would just move his vital organs out of the way.

Of course, in a post-Secret Invasion world, it is possible to conceive a Super-Skrull containing any conglomeration of the powers of Marvel's heroes. I imagine the one most easily capable of beating Superman would be a Silver Surfer/Thor/Monica Rambeau/Sentry combo. God that would be a short fight.
