Hello All! I am fast proceeding on my trek to finish every profile, after which those have been put out of the way I will finally update story.
This week I have finished by far the longest profile I have ever written(even with vigorous copy + pasting) , the man who originally you have to beat to even get in. This was not my original qualification, and indeed I have backed off the claim a bit- and with good reason as you will see!
These is not my final draft rather a rough one, and expect it to change next time you see it. As always discussion questions are at the end.
===SUPERMAN===
REAL NAME: Clark Kent/Kal-El
AGE: Unknown
HEIGHT: 6'3
WEIGHT: 235 lbs
GRADE : Higher Being
CLASS: Man of Steel
LONG RANGE: HEAT VISION:
Type: Prepared| Effect: Burn/Melt| Range: MANY, MANY MILES (Has shot it at the moon before and hit)
The ability to fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it with the conscious act of activating this power. Visually, the power is typically depicted as two beams of red light firing from his eyes. These beams can be made invisible, allowing Superman to work undetected. His heat vision is so powerful that they are able to power up the giant ion planet moving engines with his heat vision alone, annihilate an entire army of Doomsday clones in one blast (note: these were not as durable as the original), and has even been stated to rival the heat of a Star. The area of effect can be consciously determined by Superman, down to the microscopic level. Recent stories imply the precision is so exact it can bypass a target's outer shell (not causing damage to a person's skull for surgical purposes), thus arguably it could be said that this move can ignore armor too. Superman can also direct the movement of these beams while, having them curve or follow an enemy. If he wants to he can have them widen immensely, shown below where he used them to incinerate a planet.
MID RANGE: SUPER BREATH:
Type: Prepared| Effect: Vortex, Freeze| Range: 100s of Meters
Super Breath primarily refers to two different breath moves of Superman. The first is when he creates hurricane force winds, shown capable of blowing away even relatively strong super-villains. The second and more famous is the "ice breath" which chills the air to such a degree that it can literally freeze a foe in his tracks. He has shown himself capable of freezing powerful fighters like Wonder Woman and even a tidal wave in its tracks. One final function of this is that it enables superman to cancel out harmful chemical agents and gases.
CLOSE RANGE : IMMENSE STRENGTH/Infinite Mass Punch
Fists | Material: Kryptonian| Effect: Giving a pounding
While the exact magnitude of Superman's strength is unknown, there is at least source that shows that he can lift 200 Quintrillion tons with one hand. This makes Superman arguably the strongest being on the planet and one of the strongest beings in the universe. Superman has shown feats of strength such as; being seen lifting an enormous pyramid and flying it to Mars without any strain (which can weigh millions and millions of tons depending on their size), being strong enough to be capable of ripping off the arm of the likes of Darkseid and physically defeating him in combat, being able to move the planet Earth away from the Sun while a powerful Cosmic Entity, was pushing it toward the Sun, and having the strength necessary to shatter entire worlds. It's worth noting that Superman usually holds back, rarely going all out in fear of what he could do to his opponent f he did. Usually he'll try to gauge his strength so that's it's a bit more than his opponent's, but not enough to where he punches through someone.
It is said that this strength is partially psionic in nature, a form of tactile telekinesis that puts the huge object he is grabbing hold of into some kind of invisible force field so he can throw them .
INFINITE MASS PUNCH:
He has also used the Infinite Mass Punch, something usually associated with Flash, by accelerating to just under the speed of light, with his mass increasing to infinity. He notably used this when he had to destroy a shadow replica of the moon created by Shadow Thief, which had the same mass as the original, (roughly 8.4 billion tons). Of course he won't use this move unless he lets go of all restraint and decides to focus entirely on winning, however when it does hit it hits with the force of a "white drawf star".
SPECIAL 1: MOTHERBOX:
MASSIVE TACTICAL AID
The Mother box is a literal living computer that are part living being and part computer. These things wield unconditional love for their hosts and serve as potent tactical aid while often being worn times on the user's arm. They communicate with their owner through a repetitive *ping* that only they can understand. Drawing energy from something called "The Source", Motherboxes are capable of a huge variety of powers that have no set limit, with these boxes sometimes being used as a Dues Ex Machina. Nevertheless some of the known ones include (not all of which are exclusive to superman, who kept one in the Fortress of Solitude).
Omniscience: Mother Box has control of all Detection Powers, and Mental Powers regarding insight .In fact it bolsters its owner's sensory score by a huge degree, being able to detect life and danger.
Omni-knowledge: Mother Box has Amazing access to know just about anything needed at the time, and can be used to quickly discover an opponent's weakness. This is demonstrated in the Superman vs. Doomsday fight, where the mother box not only provided Superman with weapons (created out of thin air) that were capable of damaging Doomsday, but ultimately manipulated Wavefinder's gauntlet so that it sent the best towards the end of the universe. As amazing as it sounds it was the Mother-box, not anyone else, that ultimately discovered and exploited Doomsday's perpetual weakness to entropy.
Energy Transference: Because Mother Box has the Leadership talent, she can automatically transfer her energy to her user. In addition, through his affection for Mother Box, the user can transfer energy back to her. Only one such attempt is allowed per day, though
Gravity Manipulation: Change the gravitational constant of an area.
Energy Transfer: Transfer energy from one place to another. In Superman's battles I can see it being used to transfer energy from his solar reserves back in the Fortress of Solitude to him directly on the battlefield.
Emotion Control: Control the mental state of a host, helping them stay calm if need be.
Telepathy: Communicate telepathically with a host or another life form.
Regenerate Others: Manipulate the life-force of a host to sustain it past fatal injuries.
Machine Animation/Control: Take over and control non-sentient machines, including the ability to evolve non-sentient machines.
Life Support: Sustain a life form in a hostile environment such as space, and many others.
Create "Boom Tubes" Which allow the host to travel between galaxies and dimensions
Levitation
Memory Manipulation: Veitch had one download and erase portions of Swamp Thing's memory. It has also manipulated Superman's memory to forget deaths that weighed heavily on him.
Transformation: Orion had his change his face.
Teleportation : Teleported user to another planet.
Limited Precognition: (possibly included under the category of omni-knowledge) in a JLA/Avengers crossover, Iron man used his to predict the Justice League's movements.
Block Telepathy
Some form of Telekinesis
Fire and Energy manipulation
Matter Creation: When Combined with Omni knowledge Superman's mother box was able to use his to create new weapons in the form of a advanced laser sword and a ultrasonic gun. Both of these weapons were briefly effective against Doomsday, and it seems that the Mother Box can create whatever it wants to should it detect weakness in its foe.
Force Field creation
For all that the Mother Box does have limited energy, and though it vastly outscored most in terms of energy potential it can still run out if overused.
SPECIAL 2: SHOCKWAVES/ MISC ABILITIES
Type: Prepared| Effect: Vortex, Freeze| Range: Hundreds of meters
Shockwaves refer to Superman's ability to destroy opponents using massive and powerful concussive blasts. He has demonstrated this notably by screaming, clapping his hands, or punching hard enough to create huge concussive blasts. Once he did this hard enough to the ground to cause earthquakes. It has also been shown to work like the Hulk's blasts, in that he can use this ability to cancel our certain moves used against him. In a notable example he once cancelled out a nuclear blast.
He also knows two very potent Kryptonian Martial arts
Torquasm Vo: Torquasm Vo is a Kryptonian discipline that Superman uses sometimes. It is basically a means of focusing ones mental discipline to help fight adverse effects such as mental domination. It can also be used to manipulate someone else's mind, including the ability to create illusions.
Torquasm Rao: Allows him to tap into his instincts and separate himself from his body. Makes him able to prevent others from manipulating his mind and allows him to fight on the astral plane.
Finally there are two more traits to note. The first is that Superman gets power from the sun, and can supercharge himself to such a degree by going close to it that he can actually gain new powers temporarily. And he can fly without any special equipment. In fact he is quite capable of hovering, flying backwards and carrying large objects with ease.
DEFENSE: INVULNERABILITY
Superman's body is nigh-invulnerable. He has taken a blast equivalent to a million nuclear war heads point blank and remained conscious. Currently he is even more durable than in the past. He has entered the Sun and emerged completely unharmed, he has even traveled through Krypton's Red Sun and survived physically unharmed, even though Red Solar Radiation depowers and weakens him. He has been seen to skirt the photosphere of the sun (100,000,000 degrees F). Superman has even been shown withstanding Darkseid's Omega Beams, a feat that was previously considered impossible. Superman was able to survive the nuclear destruction of the entire moon in the year 2995 when he was stuck in the future. The moon had been lined with sufficient nuclear devices to disintegrate it in one shot and Superman was in the center and survived without being hurt at all. Superman has withstood 3 particle beams, each powered by the core of a planet, fired at him. One of these planet-powered beams was a plasma beam capable of leveling a huge city a few times over entirely with a single blast. Most likely his greatest feat of durability recently, is that he was recently able to withstand the destructive power of a Sun exploding and going Nova at point blank range to the planet he was on (Which was eradicated by the force of the explosion with the rest of the surrounding system) and survived without any visible physical damage although the explosion did knock him out. In addition, his immune system protects him from all toxins and diseases. The reason for this is because Superman possesses a super-dense molecular structure and a supercharged bio electric "aura" which acts as an invisible "force field" around his body within a few millimeters from his skin. His suit too is also shown to be heavily resilient to damage to add onto this, and some humans have had his cape cloaked over them and not experience any damage from bullets or physical attacks.
He also has a Healing factor in the event that he is actually harmed he can fully heal in seconds. He can use his supreme speed to vibrate so fast that attacks actually go through him harmlessly just like the flash. Being super-fast and having extreme reflexes, he would of course use that to avoid blows. However in addition to that he has also been known to wear armor on occasion. Notably if he senses he'll be going up against a foe wielding a kryptonite he'll wear a lead suit. In addition to defense there is the mother box, which will heal him, use teleportation, create force fields or use whatever is necessary to save his life.
Now there are a couple exceptions to what he can and can't block, but ill cover that later on in the strength and weaknesses sections.
X-FACTORS:
Accuracy: 71/100:
Combat:69/100:
He is a very skilled hand to hand fighter, using a combination of brute force and knows several martial arts.
Physicality: 100/100:
Can lift 200 Quintrillion tons and move planets; he is stronger than anyone here save Doomsday and possibly Marvel .
Damage Intake: 55/100:
Even when hit with magical attacks it takes a LOT of damage to finally put Superman down, and he is aided in this by his near regeneration factor.
Damage Resistance: 86/100:
As noted in defenses, Superman is an exceptionally hard individual to damage; though this rating is dropped if hit with Magic or Kryptonite based attacks. Can survive pretty well in outer space and does not need to eat, sleep or drink to survive
Stealth: 43/100:
Very rarely Superman does use sneak attacks to win, however when he does he has been known to take down the likes of Captain Marvel with them.
Sensory 84/100:
Super senses:
Superman's senses are undoubtedly some of the best in this tournament with some examples being :
Super Hearing: Superman has incredible hearing at extreme variances of sound and pitch frequency, allowing him to pick up noises from across the globe. He has shown enough control to block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source/frequency. He can hear every single heartbeat, as well as the blood pumping through everyone's veins, hear every foot step, every cell phone signal as it lances through the air and more. He can identify a person by their heartbeat, or pick out a single voice in an entire world.
Super Smell: On various occasions, Superman has demonstrated that his sense of smell is significantly enhanced to the point he can smell odors across the entire planet without any problem.
Visions:
Most famously Superman has four types of visions.
X-ray vision which allows him to see through anything except lead.
Microscopic vision which allows him to see images down to the sub-atomic level.
Electro-magnetic Spectrum Vision:Superman can see into all of the EM Spectrum. He can see and identify radio/television and any and all broadcast/transmitted frequencies, allowing him to avoid detection through radar or satellite monitoring methods. Superman can see the aura that every living thing generates.
Telescopic Vision: The ability to focus his vision to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics.
Initiative: 82/100:
Though he does hold back, when Superman wants to engage someone he will do so without much warning.
Stamina: 100/100:
Most incarnations of this character are said to have unlimited Stamina.
Raw Speed:98/100:
Though capable of speeds many times the speed of light he often limits this while on the Earth to mach speeds , partially because he fears what it would do to his enemies if he hits that fast. He can fly to the sun in seconds when it takes light eight minutes to reach the Earth.
Reflexes: 98/100
Can react to the flash.
Finesse: 69/100:
Energy Potential dependent on the sun)Reserves :70/100
This is an odd category to measure and it fluctuates everywhere. Superman's energy is somewhat dependent on the sun, though he has potent energy reserves. Under a red sun he loses powers, under a yellow sun he can get really close and turbo charge himself, while under a blue sun he becomes so powerful that he can actually give others superpowers with his excess.
Adaptive Creativity: 65/100:
Superman is very good at using the surrounding environment to his advantage, as well as finding weaknesses on his opponents.
Initiative: 75/100:
Though when he goes all in he does a huge amount of damage, he'll often let his opponent get the first (physical) shot to determine how much he should respond in turn.
Intelligence: 65/100:
Superman is a noted genius with the ability to perfectly recall memories. He is surprisingly brilliant with technology and also pretty good in the lab. Has a Eidetic Memory of almost his entire life span.
Tactics-65/100
Superman has shown himself surprisingly capable of feats of tactical genius, sometimes coming up with plans to defeat certain foes (like Imperiux, who killed Doomsday) that no one else has thought of.
Intuition: 65/100:
Discipline: 82/100:
Superman rarely gives into rage and is a highly disciplined fighter.
Experience: 83/100:
Has a huge variety of experience against a large amount of foes.
Training: 62/100:
He's trained with many people to learn their techniques and knowledge.
Audacity: 87/100:
Though he's known to show caution I don't think he really shows fear often.
Intimidation- 57/100
By reputation and imposing strength he is very intimidating.
Psychological Warfare: 54/100:
Will usually attempt to talk someone down first, as well as use frequent taunts.
Strength Of Mind: 69/100:
Though Superman has been taken by psionics before, he nonetheless has means of making him heavily resistant to mental attacks if he can pull them off.
Killer Instinct: 47/100:
Will not generally kill, however I believe there were a few times where he did.
Psychology 75/100:
Inner Torment: 45/100:
Some regrets, but not many .
Corruption: 20/100:
Superman has shown to have a powerful Force of Will, completely free of evil or temptation. Having been raised by a kindly Kansas farmer and his wife, Superman was taught to protect life and help others. He is very optimistic and never gives up, even when things look bad.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
For Pre-battle Superman has a replica of his Fortress of Solitude. This personal fortress has a lab, limited holographic technology, Superman robots to train against, and solar reserves. Superman is a powerhouse; having beaten much of what the DC universe has thrown at him. Though often relying on brawn, he does possess ample brainpower. Though not as proficient in Batman in this area he is a skilled scientist, brilliant investigator and tactician.
Alright here is the part that needs to be explained in detail, for there have been a lot of falsities put out on the subject: Superman's weaknesses. Namely Magic and kryptonite.
Alright so Magic, it's often portrayed as Superman's huge weakness, even more then Kryptonite. That isn't completely true. It does bypass his invulnerability field and is capable of doing some great harm, however it is NOT an automatic K.O. In fact Superman has tanked magical blows that took out the entire Justice League(including Wonder Woman!), as well as fought off several attackers while being impaled with magical swords and arrows. To put it in Tournament of Mortals terms; yes the magical attacks may be able to void his damage resistance but they still have to deal with Damage Intake (as well as speed, finesse, reflexes) .
Kryptonite too does not kill him, though it does weaken him.
Though Superman has a large reserve of Solar energy it can drain if there is no sun nearby to recharge with, or in the presence of a red star. He does have a great weakness to psionics, though if he knows an attack is coming he can overcome.
Lastly it is worth noting that Superman will generally hold back to stop himself from accidently killing his opponent. He'll gauge how hard his opponent attacks and then raise his stats (speed,strength, strength of his powers primarily) just enough to where it overwhelms his foe, but not enough to where he is punching through someone. To do this he'll generally let his opponent get in the first strike. However that said he does NOT mess around (unlike a certain Saiyan) and will try to win the fight as early as possible; just without killing his opponent. Also if he thinks a first strike is going to overwhelm him (like if he knows that it is magic based or supercharged) he'll abandon the policy(the Library of Babel will help him in judging this) . Finally there are some people that he will go all out from the beginning on, like Doomsday.

Based on profiles shown and what you know/wikipedia search of them sort them based on the following categories. Remember for all battles there are two days of prep time for all (meaning Supes and his opponent), cannon personalities (meaning no bloodlusted Superman) and a equal battlefield. Without further ado please sort (with reasoning if you want)into people who...
1. ...Can't beat Superman even 100 times our of a 1000?
2. ...Can beat Superman 100+ times, but would ultimately lose the battle?
3...Can beat Superman 500 plus times out of a thousand?
Till next time my friends!
