If Dazzler is the one that turns sound into light then when the bear roars she could hit it with a laser.
The Flash could just vibrate himself through the bear which would then blow up since this Flash can’t go through objects/people without destroying them like the others.
Or, he cold take some snow, make a snowball, use friction to melt it some so it’s more ice than snow, then wing it at the bear at a couple hundred miles an hour.
Or hit the bear a few hundred times in a second. Or run off to a distance, come charging back at several thousand miles an hour and hit it once wth incredible momentum.
Or just run away, unless he really, really needed that bear down for some reason.
Nitpick: Kyle’s ring never had a yellow weakness and unless the bear was made out of wood Alan Scott shouldn’t have any issues either.
Plastic Man. He can’t use his powers in cold weather.
Aspen Matthews of Fathom. She uses water to attack. Short of global warming, she’s toast. Besides, she’d probably freeze to death first as she’d probably be clad in her “armor.”
Aquaman would put up a good fight, but I don’t see him walking away from this one.
By Jingo, I think we’ve come up with a universal standard: you aren’t a superhero if you can’t defeat a polar bear in combat.
As of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, Deluxe Edition, he did.
The presence in the comics of that power has come and gone, but the ‘bible’ lists it.
Aquaman’s at least strong enough to KO a polar bear. In fact, I’m fairly sure he beat a polar bear as a young man.
And that’s assuming he can’t just summon an Orca.
Most comic boards reject the “bible” and go by actual feats shown in the comics. Daredevil does not have super-strength and is nowhere near Spiderman’s class in that department.
Marvel’s website disagrees.

Daredevil is an Olympic-level athlete and gymnast with phenomenal speed, endurance, and reflexes, and an accomplished acrobat and fighter.
Every single one of those guys could defeat a polar bear.
Heck, I’m sure that the SDMBers could think of a dozen ways in which the Atom or the Flash could subdue these mighty creatures. It would be tougher for the Elongated Man; however, he’s a highly intelligent man (second only to the Batman as a sleuth) and a formidable hand-to-hand combatant. He could conceivably lure the bear into a trap or slingshot the creature into oblivion.
You’re right about Alan Scott. That’s why I said that he would emerge triumphant.
You’re also raised a good point about how Kyle’s ring was never vulnerable to yellow. However, I figure that this would be offset by the sheer stupidity that Kyle Rayner displayed in his early years as a GL.
I can’t remember the name, but isn’t there some Marvel fellow whose superpower is the ability to mimic the superpowers of any metahumans in his vicinity? Being big, mean, and tough isn’t a metapower for a polar bear, it’s just normal, and we’ve stipulated that no other supers are around.
Also, unless she’s got something else going for her that I don’t know about, Triplicate Lass / Dual Damsel will just be multiple meals instead of one. Maybe she could sacrifice one of her selves to distract the bear so the other(s) can escape, but I’d still count that as a win for the bear. Bear gets his dinner, and superhero is permanently diminished.

: Pelts with rotten fruit :
Woohoo! Feeding time!
What about Kylun?
Though I’m confused by the description Wiki gives of his power: His mutant ability was to replicate any sound he heard with his vocal cords. I hear with my ears, personally. Course, mutants are diffirent…
Also Cortez and Milan would both be munchies.
Also Wasp.
I think Bicycle Repair Man would have a tough time of it.

A guy who can mimic the powers of those around him? That’s a great idea for a character and I’m sure that if Marvel had a character who could mimic the powers of others, they’d come up with a name as great as his mimic powers.
I wonder what I would name such a character?

No, it doesn’t. The OHOTMU - Deluxe Edition lists his strength level as “the normal human strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise.” Similarly, the Master Edition gives his strength as “athlete,” and the OHOTMU - Daredevil 2004 only ranks him as “normal: able to lift own body weight.”
How about Rogue? Sure, if she can get the bear to hold still for a little while, she can suck the life out of it, but it takes half a second for the bear to whomp off her head with a massive paw.

Rogue permanently absorbed Sunfire’s powers last year, so I don’t think a bear would be a problem for her (though you’re probably right about her chances if the fight happened before that and after she lost Ms. Marvel’s powers).
Hmm…I don’t know if the G.I.Joe team of the 80’s count, but during an Arctic operation, a Polar Bear climbed out of the water, & onto the deck of their W.H.A.L.E.-class hovercraft, & several Joes decided they wanted no part of tusseling with it.

My apologies. Then what the heck am I remembering?
… Maybe one of the stupid RPGs. My bad.
