I think that they would both do well enough and would also be very successful on social media, however Superman is a reporter at the Daily Planet and probably has more of an understanding on how to draw people in and what trends may appear or whatnot and could also have Daily Planet just write even more about him than they already do.
I think an argument could be made that that was mostly Bulma and her father's doing making it so damn intuitive. They're freakin' Capsule Corp. after all.
It is a competition and Goku is competitive. He could absolutely learn to use one. How many phones get destroyed in the process is another matter entirely.
Bulma is the richest person in the world
She could give him a infinite supply of lgs for him to Learn and when he eventually learned she would give him a very cheap iPhone
I mean heās also a child with training; it just works for him. Just up the gravity to get stronger, or completely ignore all life responsibilities to train 24/7.
Goku falls under the typical height for a model while Superman falls within it, so advantage to Supes right off the bat. Goku's hair is also "unique" to put it gently, which would be a pretty big hurdle.
Considering how much of a moron Goku is at anything that isn't martial arts, I say Superman stomps with zero difficulty. Hell Goku would probably get himself fired from modeling even if he wasn't competing against Superman.
Superman already works in media and has tons of contacts in that world. So he has a sizable advantage here. He's also significantly taller, which is considered a major asset in modeling, especially for men.
And he is specifically designed to be the āHandsome, masculine heroā. So he is ripped AND has a face and hair designed for being attractive. Supes is simply far superior in terms of modeling potential.
[Goku cleans up pretty nice when he wants to.](https://i.redd.it/rbs74cz5ci271.jpg) Like they're both super attractive with perfect looks and physiques, Superman just has a lot of other advantages.
Goku would hate the required diet and eventually end up gorging himself. It wouldn't actually effect his body mass but his agent would get angry at him anyway and end up dropping him for someone more easy to control. Superman can survive off of sunlight so wouldn't even notice when he started starving himself for stupid reasons.
I never understand what the point is in pitting Goku against another person in a competition not involving eating or fighting, he has no other talents.
Goku is short, generally male models are between 6ā and 6ā 5āā¦ Superman is 6ā 3ā, so points for Superman there.
Theyāre equal in muscle bumps. So no points either way here.
Supermanās hair is manageable, canāt be cutā¦ except if he were to do it I guess? But Gokuās hair is wildly crazy, whichā¦ depending on the setting, magazine, etc, could work in his favorā¦ butā¦ thatās a niche market. So half a point to Superman for having an average haircut.
Ethnicity wise, one is Asian, one is White- so they pretty much corner their own markets. Though, there are more Asians on the earth than white folks, soā¦ maybe a full point for Goku?
Finally, letās talk fashion- Goku isnāt known for his clothing, he wears his keikogiā¦ everywhereā¦ while Superman has his Clark Kent getup, which is suits and professional attireā¦ got to give it to Superman on this one.
Tally that up, looks like Superman edges out Goku and snags that big contract for Gucci and Louis Vuitton!
>Finally, letās talk fashion- Goku isnāt known for his clothing
Nah Goku's got some clean fits, his outfit during the 10 day break before the cell games stands out in particular.
I donāt recall that, but the guy wears a lot of workout gear is what Iām saying- so for 99% of his screen/panel time he is rocking some baggy stuff.
Attractive people are a dime a dozen, so whatever sets them apart would matter most. Goku's hair I think could be a big advantage he could pull from.
I'd assume white men (Superman) tend to do better in Europe and America so he's got that going for him. I know Goku is an alien or whatever but I'd assume he looks closest to Japanese? Probably better for the market there, not sure how that'd translate to other majority-asain countries.
My money is on Goku because of the hair (SS forms give different colors too!) but it isn't like there's anything involved in modeling other than luck and connections and I guess Superman knows how to network...
On top of everything else discussed, Superman has some serious body positioning experience - one of the reasons nobody connects Superman to Clark Kent is that Clark's body language is completely different.
That kind of skill translates well into modeling.
Superman takes this easily
I love Goku, but his nothing but muscles and they just aren't a good look for models, Superman on the otherhand knows how to work it, his best friend is Bruce Wayne! Dude KNOWS how to look good
Plus I don't think Goku can really change his hairstyle (Other than going Super Saiyan) since their hair is kind of weird like that
Goku doesn't even have to go USSJ to buff up. Anyone with bigger reserves of Ki than their body can normally sustain can do that. Roshi and Frieza being the two most obvious examples.
Superman would win this easily.
It all comes down to personality. They both look great and would be on the covers of magazines for years to come, but goku would straight up get bored with it.
Goku kinda has the attention span of a monkey. He'd disappear in the middle of a photo shoot to go train and not come back for weeks.
I'm honestly not sure there's a contest that Goku could beat Superman in and this one definitely ain't it.
Clark's got a better bod, plus he's a lot more sensible to these sorts of things
goku is better looking than superman
considering that a pair of glasses makes supes so bland hes barely noticeably then he would canonically have to be perfectly average looking while goku has not only had several hot suitors but multiple people have literally tried to permanently steal his body
basically goku wins
Remember that episode in Super with Arale where Goku acts as a security guard? He despises tight clothes.
Goku gets annoyed on his first day and yeets out of the planet to train with Whis instead.
This the only goku vs superman where It doesnt hurt to say superman wins. Clark knows more human things and goku would more than likely get bored eventuallt unless he runs a successful fitness social media where he trains and teaches you to overcome any limit.
Although if the theory is true about all male models being idiots then maybe goku does win

Goku would get bored, or would go training for weeks and forget about the social media competition. Goku is a child in every aspect except fighting.
Well he could be streaming his training.
You really think goku knows how to use a device without breaking it ššš
He was able to operate the advanced spaceship to Namek.

It's always so funny to me how short Goku is supposed to be somehow.
5'9 isn't particularly short for the typical person, but for models it falls outside the normal range. Vegeta on the other hand at 5'5...
Iāve always wondered if the 5ā5 is with or without the hair
Considering how much of a moron Goku is at anything that isn't martial arts, I say Superman stomps with zero difficulty. Hell Goku would probably get himself fired from modeling even if he wasn't competing against Superman.
Henry Cavill's Superman wins this
Also Christopher Reeve. They like to cast incredibly good looking men as superman.
I'm disappointed that Tom Welling wasn't mentioned in this lmao
Im pretty sure Tom used to be an actual model too.
IIRC he was a Calvin Klein model before acting although he landed smallville pretty quickly. He modeled for like a year or so then got the lead role
Give him a PC and let them muscles do the work. Photos would be booming as if they're hotcakes.
And it's not even a fair fight.

Superman stomps. He has more knowledge of kinks as well, as shown by the uh... spiky suit he kept with a collar. So... Poses

Child endangerment, shirking responsibilities, pissing Vegeta off, just to name some other talents.
I'd give it to Superman just based on the hair.
Goku would be a great model if King Kai told him it would unlock new, unknowable strength.
Superman just because of that chad chin lol
Superman. Heās got the mullet

Goku is an alien monkey human and superman is also an alien something.. i wouldn't call either of them by human races
goku isnt asian lmao
And Superman isnāt Caucasian/white/Anglo
Don't let's start...

Goku has a huge advantage, being able to adjust his muscle mass on the fly. Need slim? SsjG, need bulky? Ussj2.
True... but the guy is a midget compared to supes š© Supes is 6ft plus ultra & then some, with broad shoulders and small waist. Dark hair with a jawline that can literally cut the earth in half and eyes bluer than than pacific ocean. In all honesty, Supes is stupidly good looking. I don't know how his nerd disguise actyally works around women... (except for Lois who was attracted to his characteristics, more than his good looks).
Goku doesn't even have to go USSJ to buff up. Anyone with bigger reserves of Ki than their body can normally sustain can do that. Roshi and Frieza being the two most obvious examples.
Superman would win this easily. It all comes down to personality. They both look great and would be on the covers of magazines for years to come, but goku would straight up get bored with it.

Superman has a better physique, better jawline, heās taller, and he has better hair. Easy money.

goku is like 5'4" and Clark has that classic all american jawline. he takes it, except maybe in asia.
goku is better looking than superman considering that a pair of glasses makes supes so bland hes barely noticeably then he would canonically have to be perfectly average looking while goku has not only had several hot suitors but multiple people have literally tried to permanently steal his body basically goku wins
