Superman is one of the best cartoon heroes of all time.

First, my opponent states that he never suggested that every hero was modelled after Superman, but if you scroll back to his statements in the first round, these are his exact words: "Superman's always been one of the most popular heroes thats why every hero is modeled after him." Pay special attention to the last four words. Now, lets look at my opponents list of characters: 1. The only similarities Superman and Captain America have is that they value America to a great extent. However, the modern day Superman has a specific interest in the entire world rather than merely the US. With that said, one must note that Captain America has no real super powers and barely stronger than Batman (since the super soldier serum merely pushes him to the pinnacle of human physical perfection). Their origin stories are certainly much different in that Steve Rogers started out as an average joe with no special background whereas Clark Kent was beamed from a dying planet only to start out as a super hero while rather young with practically no real reason to use his powers to be a super hero. 2. Iron Man and Superman are quite different. Iron Man (whose real name is Tony Stark) is a rich earthling who used his uncanny intelligence to create a special battle suit for the sake of justice. During most of his comic book history, he served as a bad role model to children due to his tendency to irresponsibly get drunk. This has cost him battles in the past and has endangered innocents. To top it all off: In the recent Civil War storyline, he served as the antagonist as he had other heroes hunted down and locked in an inhumane prison within another dimension. Modelled after Superman? No chance. 3. The Hulk has super strength, but how does that make him modelled after Superman? The Hulk has always been best known as a misunderstood hero whose powers activated when burned with rage. He certainly doesn't have a plethora of super powers as Superman does. In the current comics, his identity is public knowledge. 4. Booster Gold did not have his own tv series and only appeared in one episode of the Justice League. This conflicts with the conditions I had set. That said, even if they didn't, Booster Gold is hardly similar to Superman. The information concerning Booster Gold's origin can be read here: http://en.dcdatabaseproject.com...(Michael_Carter) Like Superman's? Nope. Booster Gold gains his powers from the artifacts he stole from a museum in the future. He is basically like iron man in that he uses gizmos to fight crime. 5. The Martian Man Hunter is comparable to Batman in terms of personality. He only shares Superman's number of powers (in fact, he has even more) as well as the theme of being the last of his species. However, don't let this fool you, as the idea that Superman have a myriad of powers was influenced by a hero who had surpassed his popularity at the time (Captain Marvel). 6. Incorrect. Power Girl was based on Super girl as she was created around the time the evil twin theme was well received in the comic book community. By the way, in the animated series, she is received as a villain, thus another reason she cannot be placed on this list. 7. The only version of Thor that serves a main role in an animated series is the Ultimate version. This version of Thor only process Super strength and the ability to summon mystical bolts. Not only that, but he is actually responsible and unkempt; his values are no different than Iron Man's were for a number of years. Although even if we were to use the normal Thor from the Marvel 616 universe, he'd only be similar Superman in the aspect of strength and speed. When it comes to personality , other powers, and origin, they are hardly similar. 8. My opponent is correct on this one as the modern version of Wonder Woman seen in the animated series (JL and JLU) was made to be the female equivalent to Superman. 9. My opponent is correct on this one as well. So, out of the nine heroes my opponent presented, only two heroes were acceptable. My opponent then tells you that you my comments concerning street heroes be discounted as they are not superheroes. However, if you look at the resolution, it states that Superman is the best cartoon hero of all time. Notice that there is nothing about "super heroes" listed. My opponent states that I listed supergirl as a hero that could not fly, but by checking my list above, we can see that I clearly did not do that. Proof? For a quick method of proving that I didn't list supergirl, highlight the list concerning characters who could fly and click control + F. After you do that, type in the word "girl." You'll notice that Spider girl is the only character with girl in her name. Next, my opponent attempts to prove Superman's popularity through claiming that Superman has the most hits based on his google search, but we surely cannot base popularity on interest based on results in google's search engine. Firstly, the means of getting these results is rather flawed as the search results don't always bring up exactly what is placed into the query. For instance, a guy could type in something along the lines of "Batman would kick Superman's scrawny butt", but could get search results that lead to a website that has the words Superman and Batman, but not the words "would", "kick" , "scrawny", and "butt." In other words, search engines can be used to find out the level of interest one has in a topic, but whether or not that interest is positive or negative is inconclusive. Secondly, my opponent didn't link us to his search, thus even less reason to accept his claim. Then, my opponent goes on and states that Superman Returns shouldn't count simply because it was a crappy movie due to it being a corny chick flick. However, I'd advocate that super hero films being used as chick flicks can produce successful box office results. Don't believe me? Spiderman 2' main focus was on Peter Parker's relationship with the love of his life (and regrettably not the love of mine) Mary Jane Watson. It had little action and plenty of story concerning romance, yet still turned out to be a box office monster. In short, Superman Returns being a chick flick is by no means a reason to dismiss its sheer inferiority to the first Spiderman film (or the second for that matter). Also (audience), keep in mind that the resolution is "Superman is one of the greatest cartoon heroes OF ALL TIME." That means that he must My opponent states that the "Death of Superman" was very successful. Before I can clarify on this matter, I would ask that my opponent present a link to the information he had used to conclude that this story has more sells than the Bible as well as how it broke the record for having the most sales for a straight to dvd movie. Due to time and cash restraints, I cannot go out and purchase the book, so it is my opponent's job to scan his copy and present an official source which states the same thing. I question both of these claims and expect to see evidence before I can actually clarify on it. I would also like to add that the Bible has been printed and sold since the year 1455 and is still being printed/sold at a high rate due to the large percentage of individuals who follow/scrutinize the Judeo-Christian faith. I submit that the death of Superman comic could not have outsold it merely within 15 years. I would also like the audience to observe the following essay: http://www.milehighcomics.com... . In this credible essay, it is suggested that "The Death of Superman" comic was to blame for the large decrease in the comic book community during the 90s. And with that said, I now await my opponent's final rebuttal.
