DC characters are overall more powerful, but Marvels lineup is far more interesting.
I agree. But the Marvel side is too much of a wienerfest though. And kudos to the Slim love. Good to see him there. Here's the way I see it:
Spider-Man vs Robin: No contest. Spider-Man all the way. As much of a whining little bitch he is, Parker can go to town when he has to and has a massive intellect. I love ya Tim, but you're mediocre fighter at best.
Captain America vs Batman: Cap wins this. Screw the "If he has time to prepare!" crap. Batman is good, but he's not that best martial artist in the DCU. Cap never gets tired and his combat prowess is second to none. He can go toe-to-toe with The Hulk and come out ok. Now that punk Bucky, yeah Batman is totally kicking his ass.
Daredevil vs Nightwing: The battle of the K-Mart Batman's. It might be easy to say Daredevil because he's a more high profile character, but Dick's been going at it with every major bad guy in The DCU - human and super-human - since he was 12. He can beat Deathstroke, a guy who is Daredevil's equal in every way, one on one. He's more experienced, he's smarter, and he's has a more tactical mind. Daredevil lost horribly to The Punisher. Sorry Matt.
Green Arrow vs Hawkeye: Too close to call. Clint is a better fighter. But Olie is just so damn clever. And he has the boxing glove arrow. So I'll go with the original super archer.
Thor vs Superman: Again, it would be easy to say Superman. But Thor, now that he has Odin's powers, is leaps and bounds more powerful then Superman could ever be. Superman is also vulnerable to magic just like he is kryptonite. Guess what The Asgardians powers are made of? Guess what his hammer is made of? Magic. Logically, this one wouldn't even be close.
Iron Man vs Martian Manhunter: Under most cirumstances I'd say MM. But I'm pretty sure Tony has at least one blowtorch on just about every suit of armor he has. And he will kill if he has to. So if he has a suit with a blowtorch he wins. Otherwise, it'll be over in 3 seconds.
Cyclops vs Green Lantern: Again, it would be easy to say GL. But Scott has the most brilliantly tactical and strategic mind around. He's killed Apocolypse. He's outsmarted Dark Pheonix, Evil Clones of Professor X, Mr. Sinister, and Magento. He's kicked Wolverines ass every time they've ever thrown down. He's even beaten the entire X-Men roster by himself. And he never loses his cool. He always finds a weakness and exploits it. Always. Hal's super-powerful, and a smart cookie, but's he's also extremely arrogant and sometimes out of touch with reality. His overconfidence will be his weakness. GL would probably win because of his popularity and because he's way more powerful. But I think Cycolps would give him a good fight at least.
The Flash vs The Hulk: Speed vs Strength. I see this as a draw. Hulks not fast enough to hit Wally. And even Wally's super-fast punches wouldn't put a dent in The Hulk. He could try stomping the ground, but Wally's got The Speed Force. Unless he does that vibrate-thing where he could pull a Kitty Pride and stop Bruce's heart(which he won't do), I can't see either getting a solid hit on the other.
Wolverine vs Wonder Woman: The Queen of Comics vs The Man's Man. They're both matched fighting wise. But Wolverine can try and heal all he wants, but once that Lasso of Truth is around him it's game over. "Tell me something truthful Logan!" "I.....I only drink beer and smoke cigars because I think it makes me look cool.....I'm a total poser."
The Thing vs Oracle (formerly Batgirl): Mama Grimm's baby boy would never hit a girl. At least one in a wheelchair anyway. He's too much of a gentlemen. He'd probably help her up some stairs and then ask her what her favorite movie is.
) but the whole Green Lantern concept has started to interest me lately with the news about the movie.
