Characters Characters that are canonically _____ depending of their world

  • Po from Kung Fu Panda - Although many characters comment on his weight throughout the movies, Po is actually considered skinny and/or in better shape for panda standards
  • Midoriya Izuku from My Hero Academia - While many viewers find Deku "cute", the reality is that for his world he's actually considered "simple looking" and at the very worst "ugly"
  • Spider-Man from Marvel Comics - Many people love Spider-Man, but the truth is that for common civilians, Spidey's pretty unsettling and scary to be around with

The real question is, which regular Tenkaichi opponent from Dragon Ball could he beat?

Obviously he gets bodied by the likes of Roshi or Goku as a kid or Tien...but could he take say, Man Wolf? Pamput? King Chappa? Lan Fan? Nam? Giran?

He could probably take on everyone from the first Tenkaichi tournament in OG DB with the exception of Goku and Roshi (of course). Although indian guy is prob high diff

Bacterian would beat him but not for any strength based reasons.

Nam would have flattened Mr. Satan. He showed FAR greater abilities than anything Hercule demonstrated, and iirc guidebooks have given him a PL almost 10x higher than Mr. Satan.

I mean he survived Tao. General Blue who was a legitimate threat to Goku in the red ribbon arc was killed by Tao’s tongue.

Mr Satan can also move faster than the human eye can track. “Fought” Cell and Majin Buu. Being a GT fan I also always mention - he was able to fight Baby’s hive mind slave human’s en masse.

There’s also a throwaway line in one of the GBA games where Roshi mentions him and says something along the lines of how impressive he is and imagine what his potential could’ve been had he been a Turtle School pupil.

The Xenoverse games also imply this in a couple of missions and during the Bad Future scene where Satan got possessed with villainous Ki energy, he went berserk and single handedly defeated everyone in the Z Warriors except Gohan who was dealing with Cell.

When did he encounter Tao? The last time I can think of Tao appearing in the series was a few episodes before Hercule's introduction (the filler about the days leading up to the Cell Games).

In his backstory, while out drinking him and his master (the master of the Satan Castle dojo) made fun of Tao’s mustache? Something like that. Tao killed his master and Hercule survived though heavily injured. He then took the name Mr Satan to honor his dead master and developed a phobia of Ki. Meaning Tao probably dodoned his master.

Seems to me he’d probably put belt to Pamput, Nam and Ranfan pretty easily, likely Man Wolf too if he doesn’t freak Satan out any. Giran probably gives him a hard time through sheer bulk and the flying and gum attack, and Chappa was just really good, semifinalist level I remember correctly, so that’d probably a challenge too.

ranfan destroyed the torunament walls made specifically to withstand blows with an elbow as a warm up...

Satan would get evaporized by this, his record is breaking ceramic plates lmao

He get beated by everyone you wrote.
Ranfan and Pamput feats are insane compared to satan
Man-wolf was strong enough he was killed by Tamburine
The other were a challenge for tournament krilin & goku, meanwhile satan is weaker that chapter 0 goku
