Okay serious question. Who would win in a fight , Superman or Popeye?

Answer 1

Serious answer. What many people don’t realize is that Popeye’s powers are magic-based. Yes, that’s right. Everybody remembers the spinach and forgets that when Popeye was first introduced, he was an ordinary (if tough) sailor. But when he was on a trip to Dice Island with Olive Oyl and her brother Castor, they brought along Bernice the African Whiffle Hen. She had been given to Castor by his uncle, Lubry Kent Oyl.

Rubbing the head of the Whiffle Hen gave people luck. Castor was the only one Bernice liked, so he was the only one she let rub her head. Castor’s plan was to go to the casinos on Dice Island and break the bank. They went town to the docks to hire a ship, found an old barnacle-eaten sailor hanging out there. “Are you as sailor?” Castor asked. “Whadja think I am, a cowboy?” and that was Popeye’s first appearance.

Castor took terrible advantage of Popeye. He hired him to sail the ship and do all the work, then he invited Popeye to shot some dice—and used the luck of the Whiffle Hen to win all Popeye’s pay, so he had to work for free!

After Castor broke the bank at Dice island, and they were on their way back, the casino owner sent his hood, Jack Snork, to swim after the ship and get the money back. Poepeye tried to clobber him, but he shot Popeye in the chest fifteen times at point blank range. Popeye staggered backward and fell down a cargo hatch into the hold. Castor and Olive were terrified. Snork would take them back to Dice Island in the morning.

But—during the night, Bernice came to Popeye and he rubbed her head all night long! In the morning, he climbed out of the hold to face Snork again. Castor was so surprised to see Popeye still alive, he cried, “Popeye, I thought you were shot!” “Whadja think these is,” Popeye replied, pointing at his chest, “button holes?”

Castor remarked that it looked like a clam digger was at work on Popeye’s chest. But, the luck of the Whiffle Hen held! There was a battle royale, and Popeye beat Jack Snork and so Castor, Olive and Popeye came home safe from their first adventure together.

Ever since then, it was not Popeye’s strength that was so remarkable (though that was what they played up, due to the spinach) but his invulnerability. He simply can’t be killed. He is so durable, thanks to the magic of Bernice the Whiffle Hen, that he can survive any number of beatings, clubbings, fights, He even fell out of an airplane from thoudands of feet once—and survived because he landed on his chin…!

I don’t think that Popeye is quite as strong as Superman,. But the fight would not be as one-sided as it might seem. Popeye could give Superman quite a run for his money. The post–Crisis Superman is not quite as strong and not quite as invulnerable as the original. Superman is also vulnerable to magic. While Popeye’s power seems to be defensive magic and not offensive magic, he is still strong enough to give the Kryptonian a good thrashing. It might take a long, long time before either one of them got tired and decided to call it quits. Plus, Popeye’s strength would not fade, since he is ‘strong to the finish.’

Answer 2

Superman wins this one in a walk...

He's alot stronger than Popeye. Popeye is strong but never displays the kind of power Superman routinely displays. Popeye's only test has been Bluto - who keeps showing up episode after episode for a rematch. Bluto is a normal human (or as human as a cartoon can get). He displays strength but not super strength. It takes Popeye, sometimes a whole can of spinach to finish him off.

Superman is faster (near light speed). His Laser Vision is powerful enough to slice a world in two. He has super breathe.

He is far smarter - battles Mr. Mxyztplk (who is about as powerful as any cartoon creation) and wins.

He's invulnerable to most major blunt force attacks - just like Popeye.

He's a superhero. Popeye only fights to protect Olive Oyl.

I've seen enough Popeye cartoons to see him have to refill on spinach because his strength wanes after a few minutes of doing battle with Bluto.

Popeye will quickly tire and lose interest in fighting further. He goes back to Olive and lives happily ever after... (or until Bluto shows up again).

Answer 3

Depends which cartoonist is drawing it ... so for Popeye to be matched up against Superman, it would have to be funny - so Popeye's cartoonist.

Scene: Prize fighting ring
Superman is keeping Popeye at arms length the whole of the first round. Superman flicks Popeye and sends him cartwheeling into the ropes that ties him up.
Enter Popeye's Spinach
Popeye eats the spinach and untangles himself and shoots himself at Superman like an oversized bullet ... then crumples against his chest and callapses on the mat.
The count begins, but Superman hears a call for help from Lois Lane - that is Superman's weakness, greater than Kryptonite.
He flies off, abandoning the fight ... and Popeye picks the last bit of Spinish from his teeth to regain his feet and be the last standing in the ring

POPEYE IS THE WINNER

Answer 4

Superman

Answer 5

Superman of course. unless Popeye had cryptonite and used it against him. but seriously Superman has the advantageover popeye bigtime even if popeye had his weakness u think he could use it on him before Superman hit him. Then again he could lure superman to a cryptinte filled place and kill him there so id say a draw because they both have the advantgae over eachother.

Answer 6

Definitely Superman.

Answer 7

Superman would destroy Popeye...unless Popeye had Kryptonite Spinach to eat.

Answer 8

Superman.His stronger than popeye. Eventhough popeye eats his spinach , Superman is still far more stronger than popeye.

Answer 9

Popeye, cause Superman's so overrated. Popeye eats his veggies, while you never see Superman eat anything. C'mon, man! We're trying to set a good example for the wee ones!!^^

Answer 10

Superman. Unless Popeye spiked his spinich with kyroponete.
