[Quasar](http://www.flash.net/~jeanneb/q.html). Sure he looks like a glam rock reject, but his power is basically the same as GL’s, and his energy crap is always shown as yellow, thus the “one-sided fight” designation.

And in the “this ought to be interesting” category:  
The Invisble Woman vs. Daredevil.

More random matchups:  
Predator vs. Kraven the Hunter vs. Wolverine  
Lina Inverse vs. Doctor Strange vs. Doctor Fate  
Caitlyn Fairchild vs. Supergirl (mud wrestling match)  
Himura Kenshin vs. Zorro  
Jabberjaw vs. Jaws  
Godzilla vs. G.I. Joe

How about Batman vs Daredevil?

The Langoliers vs Joe Piscopo?

Peewee Herman vs Pauly Shore?

A velociraptor vs Whoopi Goldberg?

I like the Buffy idea. But only if she fights Gabrielle. In mud or hot oil.

I know **KKBattousai** already answered this but I found another site that gives more history of the bands before Wendell gets them. [Quasar](http://pc59te.dte.uma.es/cdb/series/marvel/quasar.htm) is essentially a superpowerful character that is never used properly. Same as Adam Warlock or any other Marvel cosmic being. The only one that ever got any attention was the Silver Surfer and even he is hard to find.

Thanos vs. Darkseid. (Okay so its been done but it still deserves mention.)

X-Men and all the whole X family vs. Legion of Superheroes (sheer numbers alone would make this a good battle)

Benji vs. Spud Mackinzie (sp?) vs. Taco Bell Dog vs. Old Yeller vs. Lassie

Ronald MacDonald vs. IT

Buffy vs. Felicity

and, for the sake of some “seriousness,”  
Willow & Tara vs. the _Charmed_ sisters
