Sinistar


Run, coward! I am Sinistar! Beware, I live! That's right, it's the most quotable character in video game history, Sinistar! He hungers!

Sinistar is unique in that he is both the original AND the ultimate video game nemesis. All that came before him were merely a precursor and all that follow him are merely pretenders. Sinistar is the true evil in the galaxy. He has an army of drones to do his bidding, and is made of impervious Sinistrite! I assume it is impervious, because Sinistar can only be destroyed by bombs made of the stuff (cleverly named sinibombs).

Unfortunately, due to a lack of real data regarding certain aspects of Sinistar's character (possibly stemming from a lack of credible survivors) it is hard to say exactly how badly Sinistar would beat Superman, be it "incredibly badly," or merely "very badly." We do know that Sinistar is larger than a spaceship, but we don't know the sizes of the spaceships. We know that Sinistar is faster than a spaceship, but we don't know the exact speed of the spaceship either. Finally, we know that Sinistar can inhale a spaceship, but we don't know exactly how much horsepower the particular spaceship is using to elude capture.

I am going to presume that the spaceship which Sinistar destroys quite efficiently is at least the median amount of big, fast, and powerful of all spaceships I know of. This would put said spaceship at superior levels to Superman in all factors because spaceship[s are 1) usually bigger than people, 2) usually move faster than light, and 3) usually push pretty hard to avoid being inhaled by space monsters. It has been hypothesized by experts (re: me drinking Pepsi and playing Sinistar in the breakroom back when I worked at Target) that Sinistar has more sucking power than a black hole.
