## Story

### Role:

When Superman is going into alternate worlds,

### Rivals:

**Name:** Goku, TBA

**Reason:**
**VS Goku:**TBA

**Connection:**
**Goku:** Goku and Superman have similar histories as they were both infants sent to Earth prior to the destruction of their home planet, were raised on Earth unaware of their histories, and later became the protectors of Earth after discovering their histories. Additionally, fans across both the *Dragon Ball*and *DC Comics* fanbases often debate which character is stronger, as both possess a high decree of superhuman abilities, and if chosen to be evil, could easily eradicate all life in their respective worlds. Both characters are also believed to have limitless strength, as Goku's power increases the more he faces the brink of death, and Superman appears to have no limit to his strength, as his powers grow more and more with each alternate incarnation of himself. Both characters also assume identities other than their true names, as Goku's true name is Kakarot, a name he accepts, though he prefers to go by the name Goku, given to him by his adoptive grandfather Gohan, and Superman's true name is Kal-El, and like Goku, he also answers to this name as an alternative to Superman, though his secret identity is Clark Kent, the name given to him by his adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent.

### Normal Combos

* **Neutral:** Superman does a one-two punch, quick uppercut, then a swift low kick.
* **Forward/Backward:** If Superman moves at a normal pace, he punches out in front of him. If Superman is dashing forward, he does an punch while flying.
* **Upward:** Superman does an uppercut.
* **Downward:** Superman punches while crouching.

### Smash Attacks

* **Up - Super Uppercut:** Superman uppercuts the opponent up with more power.
* **Down - Bashing Fists:** Superman bashes the opponent down to the ground with both fists held together.

### Special Moves

* **Neutral - Heat Vision:** Superman fires a sweeping twin set of beams of intense heat from his eyes at his opponent.
* **Side - Ice Breath:** Superman blows a concentrated version of his Super Breath that cause greater damage and can stun opponents for about three seconds. At high enough damage percentages, this attack also freezes opponents.
* **Upward - Up, Up, and Away:** Superman is allowed to fly freely in any direction for about 6 seconds, giving himself awesome recovery.
* **Downward - Ground Tremor:** Superman slams his fist into the ground, sending out shockwaves that shakes the stage. From *Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe*.

### Supers

* **Kryptonian Crush:** Superman flies toward his opponent and grabs him/her. He then uppercuts his opponent into space, flies up to them, and sends the opponent crashing back down to earth with a hammer fist.
* **Fury of Krypton:** Superman draws in more solar power from the sun, gaining a red aura around his body, which will cause all of Superman's attacks to ignore armor and inflict increased damage for a short period of time.

### Taunts
