Welcome to Gaia! ::

I disagree there are more Comic Book fans per capita than Anime/Manga fans.

I didn't say comic books in general . . . what I did say, was that people generally know Dragonball Z more than Galactus or Thanos.

Superman to a degree gets the same treatment, it is not as bad as you make it out to be. My opinion on the matter may not be mainstream but they fit the Universe they were intended to be in, but if you put them elsewhere hell yeah they are going to be overpowered. Hell even weak characters in DBZ can get knock at least a foot into solid rock (Mr Satan) and live. By Marvel Standards Satan would be in between Daredevil and Spiderman in total Power and would be able to hold his own easily in that universe as well. Roshi would be considered a full on Super-Being who has the ability to blow up the moon with an energy blast of immense power, not to mention the ability to take an obsene amount of damage as well. Not to mention Tein, Yamcha, and Krillan (yikes!) Those three would make a decent Super Team in Marvel, probably DC as well. The main problem is DBZ characters wanting to give the characters more power than they deserve. ie destroying whole Solar Systems, Galaxcies etc. The bad eggs spoil the bunch. DBZ is a good target for the "over-powered" arguement because by default they blow most other Anime Characters out of the water. Is it right? No they fit thier world.

This thread is to try and bring light to the problem, not fuel the fire.
And Pym, we both know you are an intelligent person.
And probably an honest one.
Can you really say that DC beings are weaker than DBU beings?

@ Kami:

Solar System level: In theory, Perfect Cell and stronger, due to the fact that everything supports him being able to pull it off except him actually doing it. Reason being, Gohan's Kamehameha beat his, and Gohan let his fade away.

Galaxy level: (Non-Canon) - Broly and stronger. At the beginning of Movie #8, we see the entire South Galaxy be wiped out in a matter of seconds.

Universe level: Majin Buu only, nobody else. Though there are fighters that exceed Buu's power, it was due to his unique vibrational energies which threatened to break down dimensional barriers, thus causing universal destruction. Supreme Kai noted on this. Buu's progress, however, was stopped before any significant damage could be done.

Actually if you would read my posts I claim they fit in to both universes in Power and the Sayians can out class most of the Marvel Characters with the exception of a select few. DC Universe is where they would fit in the easiest. Thier Powers do not over match many of the big guns, aka Superman, Wonderwoman, Green Lantern etc.

The problem is all you get is Cell saying he can, in the end he blew up a Planet and that was the biggest attack you see from Cell. Buu who was much stronger than Cell still blew up singular Planets. Which shows that by actions Cell = Planet Busting not Solar System. It is not shown that Cell had the power or he would have used it. Same with Kidd (Chibi) Buu. Over time yes BUU could have disrupted the Universe but it is not an attack it was just him being around. Still the feats shown is he destroys one planet at a time.

The Broly Movies were so full of plot holes you could drive a truck through them. He can wipe out a Galaxcy but gets he a** handed to him twice with the same freaken Gut Punch. Anti-Climactic in my opinion the worst three Movies in the entire set of them. The problem is the tried to do a season's worth of material in a 50 minute movie. It just did not go over well.
