It does not matter which version of which character is used. Superman obliterates Goku. Even if Goku had full knowledge of Superman, Superman would have full knowledge of Goku.
Superman is simply better in every fashion because of his Kryptonian race. Sayian race would rank #9 and Kryptons would rank #1.
I don't really understand this mind thought that Goku could beat Superman. When you compare them side by side, what makes a convincing argument that Goku would win? Please explain this..
Well aren't you just a cheeky monkey?
Doomsday would rank #2.
E.T. > Goku? Hmm
Nope, the original Superman that his original autor stated in just one phrase: (From Wikipedia)
"As an influential archetype of the superhero genre, Superman possesses extraordinary powers, with the character traditionally described as "Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound...It's Superman!", a phrase coined by Jay Morton and first used in the Superman radio serials and Max Fleischer animated shorts of the 1940s as well as the TV series of the 1950s."
"As originally conceived and presented in his early stories, Superman's powers were relatively limited, consisting of superhuman strength that allowed him to lift a car over his head, run at amazing speeds and leap one-eighth of a mile, as well as an incredibly dense body structure that could be pierced by nothing less than an exploding artillery shell. Siegel and Shuster compared his strength and leaping abilities to an ant and a grasshopper."
Then the plethora of powers began, and the new authors appeared. But imo, this is the original Superman. The one that couldn't even fly.
Best idea I've seen in a while:
Romulus and Remus vs Cain and Abel
And MUST HAPPEN!!!

Batman. He would come in with their powers drained and do Batman things. I kid, I kid. But yeah, Supes owns Goku. Period.
Sure, but that's basically cherry picking for the ideal version when his character has OBVIOUSLY been updated since then. Limiting superman to just the original superman when you count the original Goku as close to everything he's been in is basically like Thor vs Raiden if they completely ignored all of the feats and shit Thor got from his marvel depiction and just used his original mythology. I mean, he might win anyway but that sort of defeats the point.
