I heard that muriatic acid is pretty nasty stuff. After all- they use it to kill off germs and mildew from forming in your pool, so it MUST be some hardcore stuff, right?

Nitric doesn't really cause burns, just discolors your skin. Sulfuric acid on the other hand does cause chemical burns, and sucks a great deal from what I have read.

superacids are any acids that are 1000 times stronger than sulfuric. an example would be flourosulfuric

Nitric and sulfuric acid are not superacids. Your question was between the two, and sulfuric is a stronger acid than nitric acid.

If you're wanting corrusive acid's it's fluorosulfuric acid (HFSO3), but if you're wanting what they are now calling the world's strongest acid it's the Caborane Super Acid
