Yeah, some of these characters are meaningless. Strange and Black Bolt should suffice. Just throwing that out there before somebody gives Superman the instant win via speedblitz.
You don't think his voice could screw up his equilibrium for others to mount an offensive? I'm not saying he could take him out by himself, but he would be a valuable part in the confrontation.
Dr. Strange along with Superman not starting the fight in Metroman mode would be the key.
Dr. Strange would need a little prep because Superman is way too fast for him.
I'm open to the team winning provided someone can give me a plausible scenario (All the others somehow distract SM (explain how) long enough for Dr. Strange to do...)
Why not? He's so much faster than everyone else on the team that they're literally statues, and DCEU Superman uses his speed in combat more than almost any character that isn't a pure speedster.
Dr. Strange - can trap Supes in the mirror dimension, turn back time on him, pull some of the stuff he did against Thanos to temporarily incapacitate Supes, but is KO'ed if Superman gets a hold of him even briefly.
Namor - Could help (maybe) by teaming up on Supes, but Clark no-sold Steppenwolf's axe to his shoulder, so I doubt the vibranium spear or anything Namor can do would even phase Clark.
Black Bolt - would have to have Supes standing in front of him and shout at him, which could mess up Clark, but Clark could just speedblitz him.
Black Panther - distraction for Clark.
Captain Marvel - biggest question mark. She can restart a sun, fly through black holes, and is one of two characters in Endgame, the other being Scarlet Witch, that had Thanos dead to rights by themselves. On other hand, Clark would've outright destroyed the Kree guard in CM1 and Dar-Benn from the Marvels with utter ease and would've beaten Thanos sooner or later. Overall superior feats for CM vs. massively better combat speed and great physicals in his own right for Clark.
Ikaris - diet Superman helps out a ton, as he went up against a speedster with legit combat fighting techniques in Makkari. How do the deviants match up against other MCU heroes though? They only fought the Eternals, and gave them, including Ikaris, all they wanted and more, killing Ajak and nearly killing Thena and Ikaris.
If Strange can launch an attack at Supes to hold him still long enough for CM and Ikaris to go to work, I give it to team MCU, but very few hero movie characters have the combination of powerset and combat capability that DCEU Clark has, especially taking into account that Supergirl, Keaton Batman, and two Flashes couldn't beat Zod and co. with near-infinite tries, whereas Clark took them down in one go.
What the heck? None of these folks can even see Superman move. All of them are as slow as heck. And Superman is also much stronger than them. It's a non fight.
Without time stone Strange has no shot. Even with time stone he has no time.
