Law has the advantage in that he can't feel pain, heals fast, and has increased strength, which means he can go longer than even young, fit Dredd (much as I love old Dredd, I suspect he would get his arse handed to him).

On the other hand, Dredd's gun fires exploding and heat-seeking bullets. Dredd might be able to win if he gets the drop on Law, but on balance, I have to give this one to Law.

Next up: The Kingpin vs Lex Luthor. But not one on one. They send their entire business, crime, and science empires against each other in a struggle for dominance. Who wins?

Luthor, hands down. Dude's smarter than Brainiac. Kingpin just doesn't measure up.

Referring back to my earlier post...

Who would win, Thor or a fully powered-up Sodam Yat?

If you're not familiar with the character, Sodam Yat is basically what happens when you give a Kryptonian a Green Lantern ring and he is possessed by Ion. His notable exploits include going toe-to-toe with Superboy Prime and putting up one hell of a good fight.

I'd give it to Sodom Yat. Thor isn't so strong he dwarfs the rest of the Avengers, and he's probably between a good Green Lantern and Superman in power and ability.

Luke Cage and Iron Fist vs a Young Batman (no Bat family, no alien gadgets). On Gotham turf, Batman has no real info about them.

Giving that one to the Heroes for Hire, practically no contest. Batman's instinct to go hand-to-hand would get him his head handed to him going up against the Iron Fist. Batman's good, no question, but Iron Fist is one of the top two martial artists in the Marvel U (giving the other spot to Shang Chi... Captain America might merit a spot, but I suspect that he'd give the other two the nod, even if only by a slim margin). Add in his chi-magic (or whatever you want to call it), and you've got something that Batman would have rather a rough time handling. And Luke Cage? He's stronger than anything Batman has ever faced solo... well, unless you count Superman... and nigh-invulnerable. True, the old Bat-knockout-gas-down-the-throat would work just fine on him, but during that time period, Bats would be at significant risk of being clocked by Iron Fist's... er, iron fist.

Add in the fact that Cage and Iron Fist have worked together for quite a few years (friggin' sliding time scale...), they back one another up extremely well, and their combo has let them take out enemies well out of their weight class. Batman could theoretically take them, but it would take him a lot of prep time and relies on them coming down with at least a mild case of Plot Induced Stupidity.

Minor aside: the DC vs. Marvel Superman/Hulk fight was determined by fan vote. This was the same series that had Lobo losing in a grapple against Wolverine.

... yeah. Not much use in determining relative power (and even if it was, it was Superman vs. Professor Hulk, one of the weaker variants of the Hulk- he's normally pretty calm, and in a calm state, the Hulk is actually weaker than the Thing).

Changeling/Beast Boy vs. Spider-Man in a 'whose life sucks worse' competition.

Although if you mean the other Changeling... he's dead, and he ain't ever coming back.

Superman, absolute hands down. Especially if it's Silver Age. I guess Reed could use an Ultimate Nulifier, but that seems a little harsh for a grudge match.

Venom vs Spawn!

In that case, I think Daken would hold out longer. They're both rather bloodthirsty, but I think Daken could be more patient.

Who would win, Plastic Man or Mister Fantastic?

Yeah, Daken's shown that while he'd rather stab first and never ask questions, he's willing to play the long game.

Reed would win, Plastic Man does have "more" powers, but Reed is a genius and could probably nullify them without hurting him.

Daken. I mean, look at that hair. Look at it.

Hmmm who would win in an encounter between Mister Miracle (Scott Free) or Arcade? The Ultimate Escape Artist against the Ultimate Death Trap designer.

Mr. Miracle, hands down.

Arcade may have trapped the X-Men in his Murderworld on many occasion, but he always failed to follow up with the deaths. Mister Miracle, on the other hand, manage to escape from the world of Apokolypse; you know, the place where hope dies and the only choices you have are conformity or death? Even if it is the recent portrayal of Arcade, I am sure Mister Miracle will win.

Here's my choice:

Deadpool vs. Crossed Infected Army

The rules:

- The version of Deadpool in this bout is the one from the Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe story.

- The Crossed Army are extra murderous and rapey.

- The Crossed Army is made up of over 5000 men/women.

- This battle will have Kree/Skrull Weapons.

My money's on Deadpool.

Thanos is a villain sue everyone loves and makes excuses for. Any setbacks he has are retconned away to make him look better. Red Hulk is a villain sue everyone despises and all of his triumphs are explained away to make all his victims look better. Who do you think will win?

So is Gamora the most dangerous Woman in the Universe? First challenger, Hera.

Hera, because she's a goddess.

At the risk of sounding cliche, Batman Vs Superman. Yes, Batman has time to prepare.

If written at all realistically? Superman uses his laser eyes to zap Batman from a distance where the lump of kryptonite Batman is carrying has no effect.

Three-way fight between the X-Men (current lineup), Cyclops' mutants, and the united Strontium Dogs. Battle takes place in the modern day. All sides have whatever weapons and technology is normally available to them, but none are willing to go back in time and take out their enemies as children for fear of creating a paradox. All three sides are present in maximum force and due to the actions of rogue psychics, none are willing to sit back and let the other two duke it out.

Poison Ivy. She's like Jessica Rabbit if she were evil.

Wonder Woman or Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)?

TeChameleon Since: Jan, 2001
#96: Jun 25th 2013 at 12:25:36 PM

Wonder Woman. She's orders of magnitude stronger than Carol and, even if the writers remembered Carol's 7th Sense, still a leagues better fighter as well (er, no pun intended).

Taskmaster vs. Cassandra Cain Batgirl. Photographic reflexes vs... whatever it is that Batgirl does, go!

Taskmaster. He should be able to pull something she won't expect.

Captain America (when he had super strength) vs Black Panther (when he had ESP).

I'd say Black Panther. He essentially beat the entire Fantastic Four singlehandedly in his first appearance, his only failing being that he forgot that they would work as a team. Steve's a great fighter, but Panther, I believe, is better. And he knows vibranium better than Cap and therefore would likely know how to deal with the shield (probably knowing its ricochets better than Cap—though I contend he wouldn't be able to throw it as well). Panther is more agile, too, which is useful.

If you don't want to read my comic, how about a good melee of Captain Marvel (Billy Batson), Captain Marvel Jr., Captain Marvel (that guy that can split off his body parts), Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell), Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau), and Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers). I know I forgot some (were another two Genis-Vell and Phyla-Vell? I haven't really read the Marvel Captain Marvel stuff as much as I would like).

Billy Batson's Captain Marvel went toe=to-toe with Kingdom Come's Superman. I think he'd win hands down. Shazam shazam SHAZAM!

Who would win in hand-to-hand combat, Daredevil or Black Bat (Cassandra Cain)?

Hmmm that would be an interesting bout. Cassandra would definitely have both the experience and the skills to keep Matt on his toes. Matt on the other hand is one wily opponent and the man tenacity is a superpower all on its own.

Hmm....I flipped a coin and it came up Daredevil,so Daredevil.
