The Doctor can't beat classic Supes, short of killing him, which he wouldn't do, and while Superman can physically overpower the Doctor, he wouldn't because there's no reason to beat up an unassuming British fellow in a coat.
I occasionally like to entertain myself by coming up with battles between fictional characters. And usually it is a match against Superman. Why Superman? Well I just don't much care for him, so I like to see if anyone can beat him. Now usually I try to match Superman power for power. But this time I tried to do something a little bit different. And now I want to poll the community and see what they say.
So with out further stalling here is the match up.
Superman vs. The Doctor
The important information. Superman has his classic characterization. The Boy Scout. Truth, Justice, and the American Way. All that type of stuff. The important thing to note about this Superman is that he has all of his moral fetters in place.
On to the Doctor. The Doctor gets both his sonic screwdriver and TARDIS. I figure that's the fairest way to do it.
As for me, I give this one the Doctor. Access to the TARDIS is what gives him the edge.
I am curious as to what you all think about that match up. Also if you all come up with other possible options to fight the Man of Steel, feel free to post them to. Or if you just have any general Who Would Win in a Fight match ups.
Why?
Supes' one weakness other than Kryptonite is attack from another dimension. (Mister Mxyzptlk proved this.)
The TARDIS hands The Doctor the win for the fight, even if no one opted for trying to actually destroy the other.
Unite against a common foe, specifically the one making them fight because they've got a vested interest in them being bogged down for a bit while trying and incapacitate each other. It's the sort of thing that fits both their characters.
That it results in both Superman and the Doctor coming after fanboyish internet lardovores who derive vicarious satisfaction from "their guy" beating up someone else's in what amounts to a fictional character cockfighting ring is merely a side benefit. =]
I don't know much about DW, but which Doctor, exactly? And why would they fight? I think it would either end with Superman smashing the TARDIS, or The Doctor traveling through time to get a piece of kryptonite. Otherwise, they would probably be at it until one of them either dies of old age, or passes into the public domain
