Overpowered and relies mostly on the sun for power, these two power houses from DC and Seven Deadly Sins goes out in a massive battle of strength

Superman

Kryptonian Physiology: As a Kryptonian, Superman's powers rely on his cells' ability to absorb and metabolize solar energy from yellow stars like Earth's Sun. His Kryptonian body is a living "solar battery" that absorbs solar energies and converts them to fuel for vast superhuman abilities that wouldn't otherwise be afforded under Rao, Krypton's red supergiant. His cells also store yellow sun energy so he can use his powers under objects, at night, in dark places, and in space. Pre-Crisis, yellow stars were said to emit "ultra solar rays" which enabled Kryptonians' superpowers; penetrating the Earth itself, said rays also enabled Kryptonians to stay super-powered at night. Post-Crisis, it is the overall high intensity of yellow solar radiation, versus the far weaker red solar radiation of Krypton's sun, that is shown as causing Kryptonians' superpowers. The more yellow star rays Superman absorbs the stronger he gets; in some instances he has been shown to enter the sun in order to increase his powers to their highest potentials. Superman can also absorb solar energies of other class stars such as white stars and also when he absorbed the solar energies of a blue star that increased his abilities to a higher degree and gave him additional abilities. The light of dwarf stars, pulsars, and quasars also grants Superman different abilities. However, he cannot gain enhanced abilities from the energy of red stars; various reasons have been given for this.

Superhuman Strength: Enhanced physical strength infinitely above that of a human and even most super-humans, making him "more powerful than a locomotive," is one of Superman's signature powers and has often been described as chief among his other abilities. Superman has consistently been shown to have strength levels that would rank as "Class 100+" on the Marvel Comics Power Grid. Depictions of the upper limit of how much weight he can lift have ranged from being able to do the work of several laborers in half the time, crush diamonds in his grasp, lift objects hundreds of times his own weight including any sized vehicle over his head, bend steel with his bare hands, and lifting mountains, even lifting the weight of Earth for days without rest or sunlight. It is possible that Superman's powers have no upper bound as long as there are stars or star like objects.

Superhuman Speed: Another one of Superman's signature abilities is his superhuman speed, allowing him to move, react, run and fly faster than the human eye can perceive. It was originally—and famously—classified as being "faster than a speeding bullet," allowing him to catch bullets in mid-air before they hit him, or anyone else. His top speeds have ranged from nearly a hundred miles per hour when he was first created in the 1930s to speeds surpassing the speed of light. His thoughts, perceptions and reflexes are also accelerated to be able to control his actions while moving at high speeds and being able to perceive the world in slow-motion. Superman's running speed has often been shown to be on par with that of The Flash's.

Superhuman Durability/Invulnerability: Immunity to almost all forms of harm and ailments, including extreme force and extremely high temperatures. Explanations for this ability have ranged from Kryptonians having a molecular structure with a density superior to that of titanium and having strong bonds within the cells of his body that cannot be pulled apart.

Superhuman Breath: The ability to inhale and exhale huge volumes of air with great force, capable of extinguishing large fires and moving heavy objects such as cars. Super-breath also allows Superman to hold his breath for extended periods in airless environments. The release (exhalation) of highly compressed air through a valve (such as pursed lips) causes it to drop radically in temperature. This is known as the Joule–Thomson effect, and when Superman does this, it is usually referred to as Freeze Breath, Freezing Breath, Arctic Breath, or Ice Breath, and can cool almost anything to sub-zero temperatures and freeze air moisture solid, effectively creating ice.

Healing Factor: Superman is shown, especially in recent comics, to possess remarkable recuperative powers that allow him to quickly heal from wounds and makes him immune to all forms of human or Earthly diseases, illnesses, viruses and toxins. Superman heals faster when he is closer to the sun and absorbing more solar rays. Once, when his body was hit with the full force of a nuke, he absorbed solar energy from the plant life around him, re-energizing him, but killing the plants around him.

True Flight: Because Earth and the Sun exhibits less gravitational pull than that of Krypton, and also due to his solar-powered body, the Man of Steel can also alter his personal mono-directional gravity field to propel himself through the air and through outer space at will.

X-Ray Vision – The ability to see through solid objects, usually with the exception of lead. Early stories assumed that hiding objects in lead would prevent him from finding them; however, more modern stories have Superman being able to take advantage of lead's x-ray opacity to do a wide scan of an area with his X-Ray vision in which the lead objects become immediately visible and then narrow his search to those specific locations. Explanations for how this power works vary, but rarely include the emission and perception of actual X-Rays, as such high-energy radiation would actually be dangerous to living things on which he uses it. Another theory involves being able to see and concentrate on the patterns of natural cosmic radiation as it reverberates off objects. X-Ray vision was first used by Superman in Action Comics #11 (April 1939), where it was called "Superman's X-ray eyesight."

Superhuman Hearing – Can hear far more sounds with far more detail and at far greater distances than normally humanly possible, including sounds on frequencies undetectable by humans such as dog whistles. Superman is able to mentally screen out most of these sounds to be able to function normally, even in a noisy environment, and can focus in on specific things, like a person's voice or heartbeat, even if they are in another part of the city. He can sometimes be shown to hear sounds on other planets, which makes it likely that his hearing is fundamentally different from that of a human, as sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space. Like humans and most animals, he is skilled at automatically noticing his own name out of the jumble of several overheard conversations, making him adept at quickly responding to calls of distress all over the city.

Superhuman Vision – His senses grant him the ability to see farther and with greater accuracy and detail than humanly possible. Sometimes includes the ability to see EM frequencies invisible to humans, such as radio transmissions, infrared light, and the bioelectric aura which surrounds all living things, even in pitch-black darkness. Offshoots of this power include Telescopic Vision, which allows him to "zoom in" on far away objects, sometimes hundreds of miles away, and Microscopic Vision, which allows him to zoom in on objects that would normally be too small to see, like those on a cellular or molecular level.

Superhuman Olfaction – A heightened and highly accurate sense of smell comparable to some animals such as dogs. Can be used to detect things like the chemicals in a bomb hidden somewhere in a crowded room. Not all versions of Superman display this power.

Vocal Abilities — Superman has shown possession of various vocal abilities. Stories have shown him being capable of raising his voice to loudspeaker levels, for purposes such as delivering a message to a large crowd.

4d vision- Superman can adjust his vision to see other dimensions.

Heat Vision: the ability to emit solar energy from his eyes. This usually resembles bright red or orange laser-like beams, which may be invisible at low intensities but extremely bright at high ones. The effective range of his beams can be at least several miles. It can also reach hundreds of miles wide, instantly disintegrating a person, and creating a destructive wave of heat capable of wiping out an army of Doomsdays in seconds (Superman/Batman: Apocalypse). In addition to varying the beam width, height, and intensity, Superman has demonstrated a high degree of skill and accuracy in manipulating his beam, being able to use this power with surgical precision and at microscopic levels. Superman can lobotomize or excise someone's psionic powers as shown in The Elite when he cut off Manchester Black's powers, or performing a brain surgery on himself. Since the power can be used invisibly, Superman often takes advantage of that to perform tasks subtly without needing to get into costume. In some versions, these beams can also be used to rapidly expand air or other matter to produce great concussive force. The beams are tremendously powerful, and can be used to rupture steel plates and pulverize rock. Also in some stories, it can be reflected like a true laser, able to use great skill and accuracy in manipulating the blasts off multiple targets in rapid succession, or more mundanely to remove his very durable facial hair. Sometimes shown to be one of his more physically draining powers to use, as it uses such concentrated solar energy. In the Pre-Crisis stories, Clark wears glasses with lenses made of Kryptonian glass (initially salvaged from his rocket ship's transparency dome) so he can fire his heat vision through them without damaging them. In the stories from the 1986 relaunch onward, Clark wears glasses with regular lenses, which force Clark to momentarily lift them out of his eyes' firing arc to use his heat vision effectively. In revision in Superman: Secret Origin, Clark wears glasses with Kryptonian glass that are intended to contain unwanted firings. Heat vision was initially introduced as "the heat of his x-ray vision" (a byproduct of his existing x-ray vision powers) in Superman (vol. 1) #59 (July 1949); heat vision as a separate power first appeared in Action Comics #275 (April 1961). The Heat vision is so intense that it's considered to be hotter than the sun and can pierce the flesh of some of the strongest DC characters like Darkseid [1], Doomsday [2] or Shazam [3].

Bio-Electric Aura Manipulation: Superman can manipulate his bio-electric aura to form a forcefield to protect himself and others.

Weakness

Superman's powers and limits are extremely inconsistent; although DC has officially stated that these weaker depictions are due to Superman not mastering his powers during those incidents, Superman's doubt or mental blocks not allowing his full potential, or due to the other weaknesses listed below. It can also be simply due to writer bias or certain writers 'doing whatever the hell they please'.

Avoids using his full power to not harm civilians or to not accidentally kill his enemy. Superman kills only if he has no other choice (Zod, Doomsday). Tends to negotiate with his enemies to prevent a fight from starting. Goes out of his way to save others no matter the risk, including saving some of his villains.

Many of his duels involve him using this restraint; hence why any duel against Superman can be dragged out to several minutes. Because Superman allows battles to last longer than they should; it does give his enemies opportunities to create traps or exploit other advantages. Within multiple Superman canons; many characters criticize Superman for allowing supervillains to cause more death and destruction by prolonging the battle instead of quickly killing them with his full power. Otherwise; an unrestrained Superman would defeat most enemies swiftly and effortlessly.

Even at full power; Superman's indestructibility has exploitable weaknesses

Radiation (other than yellow or blue sun radiation)

Kryptonite (various types)

Green Kryptonite poisons Superman's cells by replacing his stored sunlight with a more harmful wavelength of radiation. This normally affects Superman at a distance of a few meters; however massive asteroids of kryptonite can affect Superman from outter-space. Kryptonite can weaken Superman so much that normal humans like Joker, Lex Luthor and Batman (including when he's in his basic outfit) can easily harm and overpower him with their ordinary strength. Superman is also unable to heal from injuries properly while poisoned. Sometimes Kryptonite poisoning is so severe that it immobilizes Superman; sometimes even sending Superman into a seizure or comma. This poisonous radiation will eventually kill Superman if under constant exposure. Once the Kryptonite is removed; Superman will eventually heal from the damage it causes and gradually regain his powers. (With a few exceptions) it remains Superman's most consistent weakness and is considered to be the only guaranteed way to kill Superman.

Weapons made out of Green Kryptonite negates Superman's indestructibility. A Kryptonite Spear to Superman is just as sharp and deadly as a regular spear to a normal unarmored human.

Over the years, Superman has built up some resistance to Kryptonite; In Justice League Doom: Metallo shoots Superman with a Kryptonite bullet; quickly sending Superman into a coma. In Superman/Batman: Public Enemies: Superman was weakened yet still active for several minutes despite again being shot in the heart by Metallo. In Superman Returns: he can lift an island made of Kryptonite and have enough strength to throw the island into space, only to fall into a coma afterwards. In Injustice 2: Superman can easily break out of Kryptonite handcuffs and yet is still powerful enough to fight Supergirl, Brainiac and Darkseid fairly. In the comics; Superman has used kryptonian meditation to better filter out kryptonite poisoning [54].

Red Kryptonite]: Gives Superman a random mutation for several hours; including giving him multiple limbs or turning him evil.

Gold Kryptonite: Kryptonite that has been exposed to Atomic Radiation. This Kryptonite is similar to red sunlight radiation as it disables a Kryptonian's ability to use their solar energy and thus; disable their powers. However prolonged exposure to Gold Kryptonite will permanently disable a Kryptonian's power.

Pink Kryptonite: Makes him gay(No joke)

Red star radiation (reduces Superman to peak human condition)

This is best done indoors with artificial red sunlight; as Superman can instantly regain his powers if exposed to yellow sunlight.

Nuclear/Atomic radiation, like from a nuclear bomb, is sometimes able to harm him in the same kind of radiation poisoning expected from Kryptonite. (However a quick dose of sunlight energy is enough to repair the damage.) It should be noted that this weakness (like many others on this list) is inconsistent.

Vulnerable to godly magical attacks (though he has been trained by Zatanna to be more resistant to magic)

Magic is able to harm Superman, but most magical attacks do not instantly kill him. He can still tank damage, especially with his healing factor.

There are two reasons why magic affects Superman; Magic, like kryptonite, creates a unique type of radiation that harms kryptonians. Also magic in general does not follow the strict laws of reality.

Realitywarpers like Mxyzptlk can overwhelm him.

Other Kryptonians or others characters of godlike or nigh infinite power are sometimes able to harm him, even when Superman is depicted at his strongest .

Likewise characters akin to Kryptonians also share this trait including Doomsday (sometimes depicted as a prehistoric Kryptonian or infused with modern Kryptonian DNA), and Bizzaro Kryptonians.

The Injustice 'Kryptonian Pill' functions the same way (giving people Kryptonian physique), hence why once normal humans like Alfred were able to defeat Superman in a duel .

Attacks that bypass or ignore his indestructible skin can still harm him. (Superman vs the Elites: Manchester Black used his psychic attacks to attack Superman's internal organs).

Evolving, adapting or copying characters like Doomsday, Parasite or Amazo can develop their powers or weapons to bypass Superman's indestructible skin.

Will eventually decrease in power if out of sunlight for too long and taking too much damage.

His healing factor requires yellow sunlight radiation: otherwise his wounds won't heal quickly.

Lex Luthor and Brainiac have made weapons or robots designed to drain Superman's solar energy.

Superman has several other obscure or outlier weaknesses. Again, what Superman is weak to varies on the writer.

For example: Aging affects Superman in different ways; sometimes making him stronger because of experience and sunlight exposure, sometimes making him weaker

Another example is Mind Control: both magical and non-magical. Sometimes Superman can resist godlike mind-controllers, sometimes the most basic magic can control him.

The Question and Lex Luthor theorized that the chi within planet Earth potentially could counter Superman's solar energy and thus be a potential weakness to him. (It should be noted that this weakness was never proven, only appearance in one issue, and that Superman has easily survived natural energy attacks from other superhumans multiple times; so contrary to popular belief, this 'planet chi' is NOT like ki from DBZ.)

Has been defeated by physically inferior enemies; frequently due to the aforementioned weakness exploitation.

For example, the majority of his losses against Batman involved Batman using kryptonite.

Superman's loss against Muhammad Ali was due to the boxing ring being put under a red sunlight: thus eliminating Superman's superpowers.

Intangible characters like Livewire and Microwaveman are immune to Superman's attacks.

Cannot see through lead

Lex Luthor has used this to hide certain things from Superman.

He was 'killed' by Doomsday

Doomsday's evolutionary invincibility has made him progressively harder to defeat and so Superman has been overwhelmed in some of their rematches; especially since Superman runs out of options to kill Doomsday while Doomsday adapts to bypass Superman's indestructibility.

Superman's super-senses are very sensitive; meaning electrical shocks and loud or high pitched noises are painful (but normally not harmful or lethal otherwise).

Despite his intelligence; he can be outsmarted by Lex Luthor and Batman.

His cape can easily be snagged or grabbed. While iconic; it has no purpose in battle.

On multiple occasions has been guilty of superdickery

Expert Martial Artist

Solar Energy Absorption

Superhuman Durability

Gears

Divine Axe Rhitta: A giant, ornamental axe, named after a maiden said to be loved by the Sun. It is incredibly heavy and most of its weight is concentrated in the head, which makes it very off-balanced, yet in the day he is able to wield it with one hand.

Abilties:

Sunshine:

Escanor's ability is one of duality, he is the weakest amongst all holy knights at midnight but starting from dawn his power level begins to rise steadily from one hour to the next, until it peaks at noon. During his fight with Galand, his power level was shown increasing by 5 points with seemingly every second and was measured at 50,060 while continuing to rise. At his peak, according to Merlin, he easily surpasses any of the other Sins. This cycle is marked with distinct differences in his abilities, personality and appearance.

Daytime:

Beginning with the rising of the Sun at dawn Escanor begins to make a dramatic change, both physically and mentally. He grows much taller and muscular, with his clothes being ripped off him unless specifically tailored to his growth. In this state, his physical strength and endurance are incredible and his immense magic power casually radiates from his body as intense heat which normally reduces everything around him to ashes. He seems to be able to exert some control over this, being able to prevent friends from being hurt or turning his power up at will to produce intense light and heat to capable of melting even stone. In this state, his normally skiddish demeanor is replaced by one of confidence and a royal atmosphere. During noon when his power is at its peak, he becomes a colossal man, dwarfing larger people.

The One:

During noon, when his power is at its peak for one minute, he becomes the manifestation of power itself and his body dwarfs normal people. In this form he is said to be invincible.

Night-time:

With the setting of the Sun, Escanor returns to his original, skiddish self. He's seemingly weaker than an average human, and his power level has been measured at 15.

Super Slash:

Escanor delivers a powerful downwards slash with his axe that causes considerable damage that can be felt from several meters away.

During the day, is arrogant and boastful

Claims to not hold hatred in his heart towards those weaker then him

Pities those beneath him

Despite his arrogance, is perfectly willing to go all out without holding back

Escanor is fully aware of what's happened in his night and day forms

Fight

Mountains

Up at the peak of the mountains, a small skinny man walks along the peaks, staring at several wanted posters in his hand.

Escanor: Hm, let's see which one should we go after next? Akame? No. Too goth. Rorshach? No. Loft. Superman? 

Upon laying eyes on Superman, Escanor's interest immediately increases.

Escanor: Hm. Interesting. Very well, Superman it is. Wait till I tell Meliodas and the others.

Escanor then turns around, walking down the mountain.

Just as he was walking down, all of a sudden, a blue streak flashes past him, causing him to exclaim out in shock.

Escanor: Goodness gracious!

Escanor looks up, finding himself staring at a rather tall man cladded in blue.

Escanor: What the?

The figure is a tall muscular man donning a red cape and a blue suit, a large 'S' symbol planted on his chest.

The figure smiles at him and he offers.

???: Greetings mister, would you like a hand.

Upon realizing who the figure was, Escanor exclaims out.

Escanor: It's you! You're Superman!

Before Superman could even react, Escanor clenches his fist and all of a sudden, his body mass grew larger and more muscular.

BOOM!!!

Superman: Wait. What's going on....YAH!!!!

WHAM!!!

Escanor threw one powerful uppercut, sending Superman tumbling up into the air.

SHING!!!

Escanor brandishes his axe and he loudly declares out.

Escanor: Beware Superman for you shall face the Pride of Escanor!

Superman looks down and he narrows his eyes, growling.

Superman: Bring it on.

WHOOSH!!!

Escanor swings his axe across, only to feel a strong powerful blow slam right into his chest.

BAM!!!

Escanor: AAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Superman flies up and he clenches his fist, throwing another powerful punch right at him.

WHAM!!!!

Escanor: NGNNNNN!!!!

The Sin grunts out as he was send skidding backwards.

Superman glares at him and he said.

Superman: I will have order!

Escanor: Cruel Sun!

FWOOSH!!!

A small sphere of fire forms within Escanor's palm and he throws it right at Superman.

However, just as the miniature sun struck right into Superman.....

SWOOSH!!!

Escanor: What?!

Escanor exclaims out in shock just as his Cruel Sun was immediately sucked into Superman's body.

Superman grins at him.

Superman: Thanks for the power up.

Escanor: So you get the power from the sun too? Interesting.

FWOOSH!!!

Escanor: Pride Flare!

Escanor shouts out, sending a massive burst of heat across the border.

FWOOSH!!!

Superman simply sucks in a gust of air before letting out a powerful gust of wind.

WHOOSH!!!

Escanor: ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Escanor screams out as the wind sends him flying across the air.

WHOOSH!!!

Superman launches himself up into the air, flying after Escanor.

Up in the air, Escanor looks down and he spun around, turning just as Superman closes onto him.

BAM!!!

Superman: Ngn!

Superman grunts out as he felt the sharpness of an elbow strike him across the cheek.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

Escanor punches Superman repeatly in the air before swinging his fists down, slamming them right onto the Man of Steel.

WHAM!!!

Superman: WHOOAAAAA!!!

Superman screams out as he was sent tumbling down from the sky.

Escanor: Cruel Sun!

FWOOSH!!!

Escanor throws the fiery projectile downwards, sending it crashing right on top of Superman.

KABOOM!!!

A massive shockwave booms across the moment, followed by a fiery burst of flames.

FWOOSH!!!

Escanor swoops down, riding on top of a Cruel Sun and he scans the bottom for any signs of his opponent.

Escanor: Hm? Now where could he have gone?

At that moment.....

VVVVEEEEEEE!!!!

PIU!!!

Escanor: ARGGHHHHHHH!!!!

Escanor screams out just as a red slender beam struck onto him, sending him tumbling down his sun.

BOOOMMMM!!!!

As Escanor crashes onto the ground, the Prideful warrior looks up and he narrows his eyes.

FWOOSH!!!

Beneath the flames, Superman flies out of the blazing inferno, his eyes glowing red.

Escanor picks up his axe and he swings it at Superman.

CLANK!!!

Escanor: Ngn?

Escanor widens his eyes in shock as he stares at his now dented axe.

Superman pulls back his arm and he throws out his fist, striking Escanor hard in the face.

WHAM!!!

Escanor: ARGHHHHHHH!!!!

As Escanor was sent tumbling backwards, Superman swoops forward, slamming bodyfirst into him.

THOOM!!!!

Just as Superman pushes Escanor through the mountains, Escanor looks down and he throws a punch right at Superman.

WHAM!!!

Superman looks up and he throws a punch.

WHAM!!!

Superman grabs onto Escanor and he throws him downwards, slamming him backfirst into the ground.

CRASH!!!!

Superman flies back, staring down at the now weakened Escanor.

Superman: Is that the best you can do?

All of a sudden.....

BAM!!!

Superman suddenly felt a strong powerful blow surge through his body, causing him to cough out in agony.

Superman: What?!

Superman looks up, only to realize that Escanor is now standing tall, several times taller than before.

Escanor: You can beat me? Who decides that? You're stronger than me? Who decides that?

Escanor lifts his arm up, a massive sphere of fire forming above him.

Superman widens his eyes in shock.

Superman: What?!

Escanor narrows his eyes and he concludes his sentence.

Escanor: I decide that. Cruel Sun!

Escanor lowers his arm down, sending the blazing sun down onto the Man of Steel.

FWOOSH!!!

Superman: Ngn!

Superman grunts out as the massive ball of fire lowers down onto him, pushing him down.

Escanor stood back, speaking to him grimly.

Escanor: Only I decide who wins and who lose.

Superman: Oh I don't think so.

Escanor: Hm?

Before Escanor could even react, Superman suddenly disappear in a speeding whirl of blue and red, spinning across the sun.

WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Escanor widens his eyes in sheer horror as he watches his sun slowly disappearing.

Escanor: What?!

Poof!

Just as the last burst of fire poofs out of existence, Superman stops in his tracks, his body now glowing in blazing sun energy.

Superman opens his eyes, red energy emitting within his eye sockets.

Superman: You shouldn't have given me all that power. Now you're gonna get it back!

VEEEEEEEEE!!!

Superman narrows his eyes, unleashing a powerful red Heat Vision blast right at Escanor.

THOOM!!!!

Escanor: ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Escanor screams out in agony as he felt the blazing hot laser tearing through his body.

As Superman ceases fire, Escanor stood slouching on his knees, severely injured and weakened by the attack.

Superman steps towards Escanor.

Superman: Give up.

Escanor: Never. Cruel Sun!

FWOOSH!!!

Escanor throws the sun right at Superman, only for the Kryptonian to exhale out a gust of cold air.

WHOOSH!!!

The cold air immediately douses out the flames, leaving Escanor dumbfounded.

Escanor: Impossible! Just what is he?

Escanor lifts up a boulder and he throws it at Superman before turning back, fleeing from his opponent.

However....

CRASH!!!!

Escanor: ARGHHHHHHH!!!!

Escanor screams out in agony as he felt a strong powerful blow strike him by the back, sending him crashing onto the floor.

Superman: Going somewhere?

Escanor grits his teeth, blood dripping from his forehead as he struggles to push himself up.

Superman crouches down, picking the weakened goliath up by the neck.

Superman: This ends now.

WHOOSH!!!

Superman launches himself up into the air, flying high through the atmosphere of the planet.

Space

As Superman flies deeper into space, flying further and further away from the sun, Escanor felt his body slowly shrinking in mass.

At the same time, Superman felt his grip over Escanor closing, as if Escanor is shrinking in size.

Superman looks at Escanor, who is now a weak frail man.

Superman: I'm sorry, but you leave me no choice.

Superman then throws Escanor up into the vacuum of space and he narrows his eyes, sending a blast of Heat Vision right at him.

THOOOM!!!!

Escanor: AAARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Escanor screams out in agony as he felt his body slowly disintergrating from the blast, obliterating into nothingness.

KABOOM!!!!

Escanor went off in a massive explosion, sending chucks of burning flesh drifting into the cold vacuum of space.

Superman sighs to himself and he questions out in exasperation.

Superman: When will these guys ever learn?

WHOOSH!!!

Superman then turns back, flying back towards the direction of the planet Earth as Escanor's remains continues to drift indefinitely in space.
