This is tough, and though I want to go with Team 1, with no prep, when I look at the lineups closely, I'm more inclined to side with Team 2.

the booster + beetle combo is way 2-much for them.

Have a question... minus Black Adam, ha Captain Marvel ever been physically koed in a 1 on 1 fight?

-Pr-
Team 1, though not easily.

The only reason I'm tempted to go with team 2 is because team 1 has no defense against J'onn's TP...

Superman, Wonder Woman, and Plastic Man, at least.

i think kyle can resist too. giffen's teams were great though--LOVED the writing of that particular era. those books were a lot of fun. loved the way he depicted cm. as for the fight--it's good, but i'll take team 1. supes/ww/kyle>mm/cm/guy imo. wouldn't be easy though, and team 2 could take 3 MAYBE 4. morrison's version was a lot... grander and more 'serious', which may be colouring my opinion slightly.

Giffen's run, he was knocked out by one punch from a robot of the Royal Flush Gang, which Booster and Beetle then ended up defeating. Also, Martian Manhunter knocked him out, once the Grey Man that was possessing him lost control, unknown to MM.

Johns also had Cap blitzed into unconsciousness. Might be a "Worf Effect" thing though, because Johns followed that up by having Power Girl clean house, against the likes of Superman and Black Adam. They were mind controlled at the time, which is often used as an excuse for why PG was able to own them, but that makes Cap look even WORSE, because he got owned by these mind controlled folk...

I think he made up for it by having Cap wade through a maelstrom of 5D energy and being the only hero present capable of doing so later on in the arc.

Wasn't that in Crisis Times Five, under Morrison?

No, it was in that same arc of the JSA, with Ultra-Humanite taking over the world with the Thunderbolt and siccing the mind controlled legions of heroes against Cap, PG, and the other JSAers not mind controlled.
