Goku

Captain Marvel / Shazam

Billy Batson became a living dream to most lost children, a symbol of hope and powers like a superhero. With the shout of “SHAZAM!!”, Billy transforms into an adult demigod, Captain Marvel / Shazam similar to Goku transforming into an adult as he becomes Super Saiyan 4. As Captain Marvel, Billy aligns himself with the Justice League to fight and protect the planet. Since Captain Marvel is really a young kid, his adult form exhibits adolescent behavior which severs his maximum potential as a hero.

The wizard Shazam imprisoned demons that represent The Seven Deadly Sins of Man, which would plague humanity if unchecked. These seven sins are similar to the ones told among religions of the real world. The sins are believed to be the cause for war, destruction and indifference among people. Anyone appointed to become a part of the Shazam Family is responsible for protecting the Earth from such elements. Black Adam was among the Shazam family until he was corrupted by his power, much like Sinestro..

Superman vs Captain Marvel is a popular crossover battle in the comic universe. With physical power and natural abilities, it’s hard to tell the difference between the two characters in battle. Superman outwits Captain Marvel in battle because of the Captain’s childlike mentality. When their superpowers collide, Captain Marvel dominates Superman. Magic is one of Superman’s weaknesses, which is the main source of Captain Marvel’s superpowers. In DC vs Mortal Kombat ending for Superman, Captain Marvel used knowledge of ancient Krypton to design a costume which repels magical attacks against Superman. Do you think these two characters are strong enough to battle Goku and Vegeta at God levels?

Vegeta

October 29, 2026 by Comic Multiverse Leave a Comment

Prince Vegeta proudly flaunted the ruthlessness of his race. Under Frieza‘s rule, Vegeta destroyed many planets and killed millions of innocence without mercy. Like most villains, Vegeta has failed at many of his self-serving goals which severed his potential to become greater. Throughout the years, Vegeta has grown stronger in power and slowing letting go of his harsh ways. Settling down on Earth and raising a family, Vegeta learned the righteous morals in life. Finally ending his rivalry with Goku, Vegeta has also been able to keep up with him in the god levels of the Saiyan. With this new power, Vegeta was able to revenge his death by bringing Frieza to his knees in defeat.

Vegeta developed his arrogant attitude from his place in royalty. Believing only the royal bloodline holds the key to greatest power ( saiyan of legend), Vegeta looked down upon lower class saiyan warriors like Goku. Even the low-class may have great strength potential to become as great or greater than royalty. If the Saiyans weren’t divided into social classes, then maybe that race would still exist….

Some fans believe Vegeta’s true potential was with his mastery of the Oozaru stage. Vegeta grew up believing a saiyan could only become super in the Oozaru stage. If this was so, Vegeta would have reached the level of Super Saiyan long ago, if his tail regenerated from his battle on Earth. Since Vegeta lost his tail, he had to learn how to acquire the super saiyan stage in humanoid form. There were many battles Vegeta could have used his great ape form. Instead of using the Final Flash on Cell as a desperate need to win, what if Vegeta transforms into a golden great ape?!

Vegeta was not featured in Dragonball Evolution, to the relief of many fans. Since Vegeta is a master of the Oozaru form, it only stands to reason that correct visuals would have been needed to capture Vegeta in his transformation stage. Is Dragonball Z too complex to become a movie? Should Dragonball Z become a live action movie or a complete CGI movie like Avatar, Final Fantasy or even Beowulf?

Goku

Goku is among the greatest heroes in the Dragon Ball universe, not simply because of his incredible power, but because of how many times he has risked or sacrificed his own life for his family, friends, Earth, and even the universe itself. Throughout his life, Goku has faced villains and warriors considered to be among the strongest and deadliest beings alive. His incredible power has also made Goku a favorite character for crossover debates among comic-book and anime fans. One of the biggest questions has always been: Who would win in a battle between Goku and Superman? Goku did not always know where that incredible power came from. Goku discovered that he was actually a Saiyan when his brother Raditz arrived on Earth and revealed the truth about his origins. With this knowledge, Goku began to understand the true potential hidden inside him. Over the years, Goku pushed the limits of his Saiyan abilities, progressing through transformations such as Super Saiyan and its increasingly powerful forms. Now with his new training on ki control, Goku has reached the levels of the Gods and Destroyers.

A major part of Goku’s development as a Saiyan came through his relationship with Vegeta. One of Goku’s greatest battles was against the Saiyan Prince. They began as rivals, became allies, and over time developed one of the most important friendships in the Dragon Ball universe. Their friendship never completely lost its competitive edge for Goku pushes Vegeta to become stronger, and Vegeta pushes Goku in return. What makes their rivalry interesting today is that they are no longer simply chasing the exact same transformation. Their training has increasingly taken them down different roads. When Goku and Vegeta cannot defeat an enemy separately, the two Saiyans have become one, either Gogeta from the Fusion Dance and Vegito from the Potara Earrings. Both warriors combine Goku and Vegeta’s enormous strength, speed, techniques, personalities, and Saiyan potential into a single fighter. There would be no Dragonball Z without Akira Toriyama. Comic fans agree that Akira can be ranked among the top comic book story writers like Stan Lee or Bob Kane. What’s unique about Goku is that the entire series of Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Dragonball Super to Dragonball GT is all about his life story. Sadly, fans have yet to see their favorite DBZ heroes in the correct live action format. A live action attempt was made with Dragonball Evolution, and since its box office disappointment, a DBZ live action film has not been recreated to service the fans. Do you think we will ever have a live action film that mirrors the show??
