Resolved: Ironman is better than Superman

Before continuing however, I would like to make a note that my opponent hasn't posted a case of his own for me to respond to, so that already places my case over his because my case actually exists. Furthermore, he has not argued against any of my definitions or observations that set parameters in this debate, so extend those across the flow. This means that we must judge the debate based on what my parameters for this debate are. Back to my opponent's rebuttal however, let's begin:Rebuttal 1: My opponent questions how Superman would be a better superhero for being such an icon representing America, but when we go back to the observations at hand, we realize that we must analyze the two characters in their entirety, not just as superheroes, and that we must look at them subjectively as well as objectively. What this means is that when my opponent asked that question, he was analyzing it in the incorrect context for the debate. In addition to that, it almost seems like my opponent is mitigating Superman's symbolism merely because America just isn't this way anymore as we advance more into the 21st Century. I'm sure my opponent would agree that in America, no matter how much it advances into the future, we stil need to retain the values that make America important: freedom and justice for all men and women of the society and a will to aid the common man. Even to this present day in 2011, we still see people being discriminated against for their color, creed, or sexuality. This isn't just in America either. Gay men in countries like Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan are all executed, while the women are beaten and subjected to sexist laws. There are people in Africa without education, proper living environments, or health, in addition to having similar laws such as this. In this world, we need values of justice and freedom and all of these things, and that is exactly what Superman upholds. Of course, don't take my word for it. Check the evidence that I have posted in my case. These values are important because this is what a society really needs in order to advance. Sure, a new robot or a fancy new type of car benefits a society, but without these essential values that society needs, we don't even have a society at all. My opponent is wrong when he says that America does not have any place for such values because such values is what every society needs in order to be able to exist in harmony at all. I ask the judges: what is better to you? A fancy robot or the right to be treated like a human being? Rebuttal 2: The accomplishments of Superman shouldn't just be construed only to when he is wearing the cape or because we are analyzing his character in entirety. Clark Kent is Superman, and thus, the accomplishments are all the same either way, and as we can see from the evidence I have posted, Superman in entirety has not only saved the world time and again, but he has also aided to the people, as I have shown in my evidence. So, my opponent's rebuttal here is irrelevant anyway. Furthermore, my opponent says that he is real because he has flaws (as Superman does as well, as shown by his sometimes vicious behavior when he is angered because he sometimes allows his emotions get the best of him), but being real doesn't necessarily make him better. From what I know, he's still a womanizer and an ostentatious that flaunts his accomplishments in people's faces. He doesn't even show the maturity to get over his flaws. Superman has his own share of flaws, but he always manages to stay along with the morality that he upholds and get over what his flaws are in order to better himself. Superman is what people should be: humble, strong, respectful of women, moral, and if we really want to look it from my opponent's lens, Superman is this way on-and-off the cape, not a hero when he's wearing the cape and a billionaire playboy oozing with women that probably don't even mean anything to him flaunting everything he has. Superman is what we should be, and when we weigh that, that's what really matters. Rebuttal 3: Superman also has these amazing abilities when the suit is off, and he has abilities much stronger and more useful than Ironman's even when the cape is off. Ironman NEEDS this suit in order to be able to help someone while Superman just needs a change of clothes. This suit that Ironman has requires all of this money and resources in order to be competent, and Ironman needs his suit. Therefore, the question about money and resources stills stands in this debate, and as I have shown you, Ironman has many more weak spots than Superman does. His money. His resources. His technology. They are all weak points for Ironman, whereas Superman, the one thing that really gets him is kryptonite. As I've explained, kryptonite's acquisition is extremely questionable. It's a lot of times in the black market, and there's only a few times where Superman has to come into contact with kryptonite. Each and every time, Superman gets out of it because it's pretty easy to get out of the exposure of kryptontie. Just walk away from it. Ironman would be in quite a pickle if he ever were to fall into the circumstances of his disadvantages. Rebuttal 4: Even without all of these fancy abilities granted by Extremis and the money, Superman can still accomplish everything that Ironman could do, only showing that Superman would need less to do the same thing that Ironman does. That only substantiates my case because it shows that Superman is more efficient.
