The Saitama vs Superman debate is every anime and comic fan’s favorite showdown. On one side, we have Saitama, the bald hero who ends every fight with a single punch. On the other hand, Superman, the iconic DC hero who can move planets and survive supernovas. Both are unbeatable in their own worlds, but what happens if they throw down in a death battle?
This isn’t just about strength, it’s about how their powers work. Saitama’s whole character is a joke: he’s so strong that nothing challenges him. Superman, meanwhile, is the ultimate symbol of hope, with centuries of stories proving his might. So, who really wins in a Saitama vs Superman death battle? Let’s break it down, feat by feat.
Check out our YouTube Short to see the visual breakdown of how the battle between Saitama and Superman will look like.
The Basics Of Their Powers

Saitama is a joke character. His whole story is about being so strong that he’s bored. He trained so hard he lost his hair, and now he can defeat any enemy with one punch. He’s not just strong, his power grows during fights. For example, when he fought Cosmic Fear Garou, he punched so hard he erased a galaxy-level energy blast. His strength has no clear limit.
Superman, on the other hand, gets his power from Earth’s yellow sun. He can fly, shoot heat vision, and freeze things with his breath. He’s lifted planets, survived black holes, and even flown faster than light. But he has weaknesses: kryptonite (a radioactive rock), magic, and if the sun’s blocked, he weakens. Still, his feats are insane - like holding a black hole in his hands!
Strength And Speed Comparison

In a death battle, Saitama’s punches are his only move, but they work every time. He once jumped from the moon to Earth in seconds and punched a planet-busting laser. His Serious Punch in the Garou fight created a hole in space itself. The scariest part? He’s always holding back. If he gets serious, nothing survives.
Superman’s strength is godly. He once moved a chain of planets tied together. In speed, he’s crossed galaxies in minutes. But here’s the problem: his power has limits. Even when he sundips and absorbs extra solar energy, he can’t keep that boost forever. And Saitama? He never gets tired.
Can Superman Beat One Punch Man?

In the Saitama vs Superman battle, Superman’s versatility might give him an early. He could blast Saitama with heat vision, freeze him, or try to trap him in space. But Saitama has shrugged off attacks that erase planets. In their first clash, Superman might appear stronger, but that’s just Saitama testing whether he’s finally found the opponent he’s been searching for all these years. Remember Boros? Saitama took a kick to the moon and just got annoyed, as if dying was never a word in his dictionary.
Saitama’s character is designed to never lose. It’s the whole joke of One Punch Man. Even if Superman pushes him, Saitama’s strength grows to match the threat. For example, when Garou copied other heroes’ powers, the Caped-Baldy just got faster and stronger mid-fight. Superman’s solar energy might run out, but Saitama’s power has no off button.
Durability And Stamina: Who Lasts Longer?

Saitama has never been hurt. Not once. He stood in space without oxygen and tanked city-leveling explosions while wearing his silly yellow suit. His durability is as broken as his strength. Even if Superman lands a hit, Saitama would just blink and say, “Okay, your turn.”
On the other hand, Superman is tough, but he can be hurt. Kryptonite, magic, or red sunlight weakens him. While Saitama doesn’t use weapons or magic, his raw power might act like it. For example, his punch canceled Garou’s radiation, a feat similar to magic. Plus, Superman tires over time, but Saitama? He’s still doing squats after a fight.
The Final Showdown: How Will The Battle Look?

At first, Superman would try to reason with Saitama (because he’s a hero). But once Saitama realizes Superman is strong, he gets excited. Superman’s heat vision and speed would keep Saitama busy, but Saitama would dodge Superman’s moves, like he's playing with him.
In the end, Saitama will get serious, and that's when the real Saitama vs Superman battle starts. Imagine Saitama throwing a punch that gets stronger every second. Superman might sundip for a power boost, but Saitama’s punch would overpower Superman and ultimately defeat him. Remember, Saitama once punched away a portal to another dimension. Our beloved DC superhero has never faced someone who gets stronger infinitely.
Final Verdict: Saitama Vs Superman

The answer to “Can Superman beat One Punch Man?” is no. Superman is amazing, but he’s bound by logic. Saitama isn’t. His power exists to mock the idea of power levels.
In a death battle, Saitama’s limitless growth and joke-like design mean he’d eventually throw a punch so strong it’d knock Superman out. It might take time, but in the Saitama vs Superman fight, the bald guy always wins.
