If all the superheroes started fighting each other–no teamups, no alliances, every man (or woman, or alien, or swamp thing) for themselves–who’d win?
Anybody from DC or Marvel (and their offshoots, like Vertigo, Elseworlds, All Star, Ultimates, Marvel Knights, etc.) is fair game, and all history up to the present in is play–for instance, the events so far of Infinite Crisis are applicable. You can bring in multiple versions of the same character if you want.
Spectre was my first choice, actually, but then I remembered Fate managed to bring him low (albiet at the cost of his own life) in the DoV special, so I had to change my vote.
Would any of the Superman analogues (Miracleman, Supreme, Sentry, etc.) have a chance against Dr. Fate or the Spectre?
In a more street-level fight, I think it would be hard for anyone, even Batman, to beat the Midnighter on a good day. Deathstroke would certainly hold his own in a fight like that too – those three in a brawl would be great, especially if sneaking and strategy could be involved.
Granted, normal firearms can take him out, but he could kill Dr. Manhattan (and probably God himself) just by telling him to die. On the other hand, he pretty much loses automatically versus any superhero who can`t speak English. But how many of those are there?
Batman still beats Jesse Custer, if he`s prepared. A pair of earplugs would do it, although Custer could at least hold his own in the ensuing fist fight, IMHO. So I dunno.
That’s what I’m thinking. It’s already been decided. Death turns out the lights and closes the door when the last line has been written into the Book of Destiny. Right?
Blue Beetle. He hides in the pile of corpses until there’s only one other hero still left alive, but utterly exhausted from the battle, and cracks him or her in the back of the skull with one of Wolverine’s severed legs.
But honestly I’ve got to go with Doctor Manhattan. He literally has the power to rewrite anything he wants AND he knows everything that’s going to happen to the universe ever. It’s a winning combination.
