At that point he's just Lex Luthor. Superman is kind of good at beating these types of guys

Lex Luthor exists at more or less our level of technology. Maybe a century or two ahead of us with weird science of the Superman world. Two hundred years ago we fought wars with muskets and bayonets. A hundred and fifty years ago streets were lit with fire. A hundred years ago we didn't know what atoms were made out of and you had to be in earshot to talk to somebody. Imagine what science would look like a thousand years from now (assuming no collapse). It'll be likely as divorced from our understanding of the world as ours is to an 11th century Irishman. Give it another ten thousand years. In this Universe, I can't imagine there not being technology that hilariously surpasses Superman's powers. It may take Kevin a million years, or a thousand times that, to get to that point, but you're not arguing determination, you're arguing ability, and given eternity, Kevin would certainly be able to surpass a mere one million Supermen.

Kevin's established feats don't imply he can develop those things even with infinite time, especially as he is lacking his experience from Lost In New York here

His feats only matter for whether he'd have the tenacity to do them, not the ability. As far as we know, there's no cap on his wisdom given enough time. He's old enough and smart enough to understand logic. He's human and capable of creativity and insight. That's about all you need. Everything else is patience.

I think you're all missing a big part of the picture. Superman isn't magic. The explanations for his powers don't make sense, obviously, but they are at least grounded in the logic of his world. Given his infinite time to prepare, Kevin could unlock the secrets of those powers. Maybe make an army of robot Supermen, become a super Superman, find a way to specifically counter Superman which something more powerful than Kryptonite in addition to whatever ridiculous science fiction he'd discover, who fucking knows, it's beyond the logic of our world.

Assuming this Earth is the real Earth, Kevin can't even find Kryptonite because it's not real. So I don't see how he can win.

Then the Supermen aren't real either and he wins by default.

Infinity is a long time. Very long. Absurdly long. If the scenario gave Kevin a million, hell, even a billion years to prepare, I'd be hesitant. But infinity, is, well, infinity.

Humans, after a certain point, don't have hard caps on their intellect as we know it. A ten year old can learn algebra. They can think logically. Given time and motivation, a kid, even an excitable one like Kevin, could derive all of our modern math and then some; it's just a matter of expertise and building the next conclusion from prior ones, and while serendipity and insight are certainly factors, he has plenty of chances to stumble upon lucky ideas and ample opportunity to follow up on any interesting ideas. He's limited by his isolation and relatively limited intelligence, but knowledge builds upon himself. Human history has existed for a mere ten thousand years. Imagine one expert alive through all of that time, information compounding, discoveries proliferating. It'd be tough for somebody to do alone, but then give them another ten thousand years. Then a million. Then ten billion. Kevin could do anything.

Motivation is no issue either. Kevin is faced with the prospect of fighting one million Supermen. He knows his life depends on preparing as thoroughly as possible. Fallibility, carelessness, lack of foresight... none of these apply. Perhaps, if given eternity to prepare against something as prosaic as a bear attack, Kevin would think "screw it" after an hour, erroneously believing himself to be ready, but he's fighting one million Supermen, a threat a 10 year old would probably appreciate even more viscerally than adults. He knows that these are impossible odds, beyond impossible, and so he'd prepare an incredible amount. An unimaginable amount. He could map out every non-degenerate variant of every outcome worth examining with time to spare. He would not stop until he was certain his victory was inevitable beyond any shadow of doubt. Kevin would take any measure he deemed necessary. Emerald brought up the limited reserves of Kryptonite on Earth and the difficulty in uncovering them. He has infinite time. Kevin could explore every building on the planet to search for it and it would likely take a negligible fraction of the time he'd spend planning. He could build robots and a spaceship to fly to Krypton to mine some for him. Why not? He's got eternity, all of the resources and knowledge of Earth, the motivation to do research and the capacity to discover anything else he'd need to. The Xanatos Gambit would need to be renamed after him. Superman can escape a black hole, which by definition is a region in which no path in space-time leads away from its singularity. He can't escape from Kevin's machinations.

The only real question, then, is how prepared is Kevin to go through these lengths? His only opponent is himself. Surrender is the only path to defeat. Fortunately for him, although he was chosen for comedy, he's a perfect character to be put in this situation. Home Alone isn't a movie devoted to much character developed, so Kevin only has a few defined traits. He's creative, which is useful but incidental for this plight. He gets frightened by the robbers, but largely as they're a present threat he didn't expect. More importantly, he was determined to repel them all alone, with stakes far lower than he faces here, and until his antagonists showed up, he was perfectly content to watch old movies and play with whatever he found around the house. His main stumbling point would be that he got lonely and demoralized as anybody would, which is a nonexistant threat in this prompt. If we take what we know of him to make this a fight between Kevin and Supermen, not just a generic stand-in and Supermen, we need to account for how his determination is basically his defining feature. He, better than most, would persevere in preparing for the existential crisis, and would likewise be happier than anybody to take some stress-relieving breaks alone whenever he felt overwhelmed.

Superman has near-infinite power. A million Supermen have a million times that. Kevin has infinite time.

this is a summary of my points from an hour-long debate i had for some reason i didn't synthesize all this just for this topic

1 Million Supermen have challenged Kevin McAllister to a fight! Location of the fight: Earth - The planet which has cradled mankind for untold millennia and the home of every living human.. Which side will win?

Guidelines

- The fight will occur in real-time (like an FMV sequence). Gameplay mechanics are less important than how the characters would function in a real-time environment.
- The members of each team are ideal teammates capable of a pre-selected plan of battle.
- "Broken" refers to a lot of things, including insta-death, auto-effects, a variety of status effects (e.g., Imp, Silence, Stop, *not* Poison), and revival. Unless stated otherwise, nobody has them, though do use your own discretion.
- There may be SPOILERS from all of the games the characters are from.

Rules for Voting

- Bold your votes (using bold HTML tags).
- You do not need to require justification for your vote, though the admins reserve the right to disqualify votes in the advent of obvious alt voting and other similar scenarios.
- Leaders cannot vote for their own teams (and players from the same pool may not vote as well), but they are free to argue their case.
- If you want to switch your votes simply bold the change; there's no need to delete your post, though you may if you wish.
- This match will end in 24 hours.
- The following conventions are in use for match topics: www.gamefaqs.com/boards/570224-mercs/75290480/878106427

Kevin McAllister as he appears in Home Alone. He is given infinite time to prepare against the invasion of Supermen, without experiencing regular bodily needs or death by any hand except his own during this preparation time.There will be nobody else on the planet, though he will not feel lonely, and he has access to whatever resources he can utilize from the empty planet. The Supermen will attack whenever Kevin decides he is ready to face them.

~VS~

1 Million Supermen as they appear in Superman (1978). They have whatever powers and limitations they show in the movie, with the additional ability of a lack of apprehension at killing a ten year old child.

Please explain to me how none of this is anti-semitic:
https://www.tabletmag.com/scroll/236063/why-just-13-percent-of-british-jews-say-they-will-vote-for-labour-in-the-general-election

Point 1: Association is according to the scumbag, not Corbyn. His campaign denounced Eisen and even the article (Daily Mail) it's sourced from calls the relation "alleged"

Point 2: Not great but even the article (Daily Mail) mentions that the Bishop who denounced the vicar thought it was an issue less for antisemitism but for posting a questionable source and not thinking it through all the way

Point 3: That's pretty bad. Also (Daily Mail)

Point 4: The context of the 9/11 quote was that he felt a guilty pleasure but after emotions cooled he saw that it was a terrible event and would just perpetuate violence. I can't find a source for his other comment quoted that isn't this article or derivatives. Not a great guy but probably made sense to have speak at an anti-Iraq War event (not Parliament)
