Is Superman a Liar? Absolutely Yes!

Do you know he could have smashed into any bank in the United States?

He had the strength but he would not.

Superman has long been known as a character that places restraint upon himself and prior to Flashpoint, Supergirl was a character known for leaving it all on the field. She wouldn't hold back and knew no restraint.

While the jury still seems to be out on which of the characters is stronger in the comics, one thing is for sure. Supergirl definitely beat Superman in a fight, while he was at full strength, which left the Man of Steel claiming Kara was the "champion of Earth."

This might come to a shocker to some people, but Supergirl is considered by some characters in the DC Universe to be stronger than her cousin, Kal-El. Heck, even Batman told Superman this might be the case and when Batman tells you something, you believe him. But of course fans usually point out that Supergirl only appears to be stronger as she uses her powers more recklessly to the fullest than Superman, who usually most of the time holds back. It can be argued whether or not Supergirl is actually stronger than Superman, but what can't be argued is that she can dangerously give him a run for his money.

Clark Kent is kind of a basket case. Between the escape from Krypton and his tragedy-filled life on earth, Superman’s emotional resilience can’t hold a candle to his physical abilities. He’s the Man of Steel, but his mind is about as impenetrable as drywall. This is where Kara Zor-El levels the playing field. She is totally uninhibited, and she fights like a berserker.

Where Clark is measured and restrained, Kara is in the kill-zone. There are arguments to be made about her upbringing: that she benefited from Krypton’s advanced training, and that her escape pod was retrofitted with yellow sun absorbers that amplified her strength well beyond her cousin’s. Superman and Supergirl apologists will have a slew of their preferred writers (and eras) to back their claims, but the vast majority of comics show Supergirl unencumbered by the mental blocks that besiege Clark Kent. Kara herself has stated that she’s stronger than her cousin, and maybe it’s that self-belief that says it all.
