12 Comic Book Heroes More Powerful Than Superman

Superman Beat Up

There's probably an argument that the God Of Thunder himself would be a pretty strong rival to Superman in a straight fight, though his lack of speed would be an impediment certainly and he's not quite there in general power terms. His father, on the other hand, is like Thor levelled up to the maximum.

Odin could beat Superman to a pulp and in the past his battles have wreaked so much collateral damage that entire galaxies have been destroyed. He's King Of The Norse Gods, which comes with added power boosts like increased strength, stamina durability and invulnerability to Earthly diseases.

He's also resistant to magic, which Superman is not, and his control of the Odin Force means he can do a whole world of things Superman could only dream of. He can teleport entire populations to alternate galaxies, stop time, pull planets down to Earth to squash his enemies, steal souls (as he did from Mephisto) and he can fight toe-to-toe with Galactus. No mean feat. Next to him, Superman is small fry.
