Loki turns up.

Superman hears him instantly, rushes there and beats the fuck out of him.

Ultron turns up

Superman hears him instantly, rushes there and beats the fuck out of him.

Thanos turns up

Superman hears him instantly, rushes there and beats the fuck out of him.

Hydra takes over sheild

Superman hears them instantly, rushes there and beats the fuck out of everyone

Guy with laser whips ...erm..whips people. Superman hears him instantly, rushes there and beats the fuck out of him.

Pretty much the only movies he couldn't end instantly are Dr Strange , Thor 2 and maybe hed fall for Mysterio in Far From Home.

Superman is nerfed all the time though. They could maybe justify all three of those villains being a tough match for Superman. But at the end of the day Superman doesn't fit in the Marvel universe.

Also I don't think he really uses his super hearing in that way.

Superman would hold no candle to an Infinity Gauntlet wielding Thanos.

He would also lose to super natural and mythical beings like Dormmamu. Scarlet Witch would beat him as would SS Dr. Strange.

Supes one weakness is magic.

This doesn't really happen in DC Comics so I'm not sure why you'd think it would happen in movies.

How can you have a Superman, from Krypton, and not have Kryptonite though? Not really fair to give an OP guy like Superman even more advantages.

Then again, if you did include Kryptonite in the mix, Stark would destroy him no problem since he wouldnt be silly about it like Batman.

As far as the original post goes, Superman hears Loki, shows up and gets his face wrecked because Loki uses magic. Also, Hulk would most likely kick his ass.

Kryptonite makes anything against superman too easy. I like to avoid it because it's the always go to when someone needs to "beat" superman.

Sure, but only because every time you put Superman in a movie without other Kryptonians, somebody has to pull Kryptonite out of their ass. I think if you collected all the Kryponite that has been used on Superman in the comics, it would be like the entire planet Krypton blew up and all fragments flew right towards Earth.

Superman can't beat any of those people. So it'd be more like he rushes there and loses easily.

MCU has Superman. Two of them. They're named Thor and Hulk. And now there's a third (they're trying to force) in Captain Marvel.

For the sake of him being a hero, no one has ever done it to the point where they should have (barring your typical over confident villain trope) just killed him out right.

I think IM if he knew how much of a threat he was, would have zero qualms with sticking superman with a blade of kryptonite or fashioning a kryptonite core suit to fight him.

Lex Luthor already built a weaponized suit using Apokolips technology with all kinds of various colors of kryptonite crystals / lasers made through kryptonite radiation.

Iron Man would basically make a Hulk Buster suit capable of creating a kryptonite nuke blast. If Superman survives that it's literally just bad writing at that point.

Sounds like bad writing without the context. You have a super weapon with the guys only weakness being the focus of the weapon and for whatever reason it doesn't kill him? Nah. Iron Man also doesn't have the same faults as Lex.

Those guys you listed aren't shit compared to Superman's bread and butter enemies. The only villain introduced in the MCU that Superman couldn't beat would be Dormammu.

The bad writing is the Kryptonite in the first place which is why DC has instructed their comic writers to stop fucking using it.

Besides. Batman already did this song and dance several times including multiple absurd "time to plan" shenaningans and Batman ended up losing every time anyway.

I know that you know enough to know that Superman is not invincible even when Kryptonite is nowhere to be found.

Just need something a little better than "Iron Man" to hurt him.

He's damn near 100% invulnerable when kryptonite isn't around, or if he's not getting power from the sun. His invulnerability varies between writers tho. That's why most of his compelling stories don't revolve around him going brute force against another villain going brute force, because that shit is boring and the outcome is predictable.

That's why these power arguments are bs. Of course Superman won when Lex tried to use a kryptonite suit against Superman. I havent read the comic but you put a synopsis "Lex fights Superman with kryptonite suit" and we already know the outcome. But if you take away his only weaknesses you're not going to just magically find a stronger hero because that's literally Superman's gimmick.

Yeah as I said, I'm pretty sure Stark and maybe even Shield could take down Superman if they planned too

But the MCU villains (mostly) wouldn't have a chance

-- If the fight kept going on, maybe Superman could've disarmed him long enough for a lucky shot. Or got a lucky shot in mid-fight. But either way, Hawkman doesn't tickle. Shots that hard with a kryptonite mace should've put Superman down for count, but he endured it. The guy is a tank, and still managed to seal the deal even after being severely weakened.

well hawkman made the " didnt go for the head " mistake because he wanted superman to suffer he had enough time to crush his head before the others arrived

None of the other Avengers have super hearing or super speed.

In almost every MCU movie there is an extended part of the movie plot where the heroes don;t know where the villains are.

Loki and Ultron couldn't hide from Superman.

The second Loki started duffing that Shield Base Superman would be there before he even got to Clint

I think you're really overestimating the capability of Superman's hearing. He can focus and listen to a lot of different stuff from a distance but it's not something that's always on and it doesn't mean that he knows every single thing that is happening in the planet at once.

Nobody said he would.

But he heard a fire happening over 3,000 miles away, went to it and came back within 10 minutes.

And you're saying he would not be able to hear Shield scrambling, panic, gunfire, explosions, literal buildings collasping and helicopters falling out of the air because.....?

Remember what happened when Hulk got his mitts on Loki?

If Superman was there during the Avengers, that would have happened in the Pegasus base before Clint even got mind-controlled

Power Girl once said she can hear grass growing 10 miles away.

But that's kind of irrelevant. His hearing doesn't work like that unless he's actively listening. So yeah if he was just chilling in the sky looking for problems to solve he could hear everything at once but if he's not specifically using his hearing he's only going to pick up on some key things that he's expecting like Jimmy Olsen's watch.
