Superfriends vs. Justice league

This one should be better than my last.

Yall are familiar with the Superfriends and the Justice league. Who would win, the Old-fashioned Hanna Barbera superheroes or the Neo-WB ones?

WTF?!

Superfriends get wiped. No contest... I have always maintained that guys do NOT look good in tights!

They're about the same, but the Wonder Twins are the deciding factor here.

"Wonder Twin powers, activate! Form of: incestuous couple!"

Yeah this is the SUperman who once grabbed the Earth and pushed it out of a black hole (imagine those 2 factors). Heck, just imagine the physics involved in placing your hands against the Earth's surface and pushing it against the gravity curve, and have some affect...has your brain overloaded yet?

some of Superman's powers are explained by the fact that his body emits a kind of forcefield (explains the ineffectiveness of energy-weapons against him as well as kinetic weaponry)

Given Superfriends used Silver Age Supes...it's all over...I don't care if you arm yourself with uber-Kryptonite gun.

Speaking of the "superfriends" did anyone catch those cartoon network spoofs that were on a year or two ago? I always got a kick out of brainic's pleading "All I'm asking for is a pair of pants.... a DECENT pair of pants!.

Yeah, that was like some kind of promo, wasn't it?

BTW, JLA would lose. It's like everyone else is saying, Silver Age Superman would own all.

I once had this comic from the centerfold of a Wizard magazine. Due to some strange metaphysical vortex, some of the League were swapped with their equivalents of the Superfriends.

In the Superfriends' universe: "look, those guys are all dark and mean, they must be supervillians. In the form of... a gerbil!"
"In the form of... an ice eggbeater!"
"Oh no, they're immune to our superpowers!"

At this point "dark" Green Lantern proceeds to kick their asses (without using the ring), meanwhile, "light" Superman was in the League's universe, and a similar thing was happening. So he faces the "fourth wall" and says "remember kids, violence is wrong, yadda yadda yadda"

Very funny, I'd kill for a scan of that thing.

Shouldn't the Earth fall to pieces or something under the tremendous stresses?

The basic concept of Superman is that he can do anything.

Something to do with special powers so that it's not just his hands exerting the pressure or something. Don't take my word for it though.

If Superman can do anything, then why does he not go about as a lone ranger?

Tactile TK is the most common factor of why.

Course then again this is ranging in the near insane given you're asking the far lesser of the two insanities.

I would be asking how is Superman defying a Black Hole...let alone moving the Earth.

I prefer him that way, to be truthful. He's powerful enough on his own. No need to put him on a team with other gods.

And the what I wrote above was the writers' reasoning, not a justification.

I guess it comes down to who conveniently forgets about superpowers in order to further the plot. Like in the JL episode where Grodd launched missiles at Gorilla City. Earlier in the episode, the Green Lantern had generated a force field to block rocket fire from the police, but when he took out one of the ICBMs, the debris knocked him out.

With Superman around there was no point in having anyone else on the team. Name one problem that a bat-shaped boomerang could solve that Superman couldn't solve in one billionth of the time. Besides helping the elderly who want to have sex with a bat-shaped boomerang, and good luck finding one of those-- I've tried. If Chuck Norris' copdog sidekick had all its legs removed and then you glued its mouth shut, you have a vague understanding of how useful the rest of the team was to Superman.
