Thanks for everyone that commented on the 1st thread - World's Strongest Super-Being Competition. Based on your great responses I've added/subtracted people. I've also modified the events so maybe there's more argument as to who'd win. Last "year's" winner was the Hulk (at the time I made this thread).
One year later, the mightiest super heroes & villians gather again to see who is the World's Strongest Super-Being. As always, they put aside their differences to compete fairly in this contest of pure strength. Keep in mind, these are the regular versions of these heroes/villains, not modified in any way (i.e., no Superman Prime, 8th Day Juggernaut, etc.) Sadly, Colossus and Wonder Woman will not be competing this "year" because they did not receive any votes from the last competition. Please remember, only body strength may be used in the events.
The entrants:
Apocalypse (restricted to maintain his default size throughout the competition, i.e., he's not allowed to grow)
Darkseid (not allowed to use telekinetic powers to lift things)
Doomsday
Grundy
Hulk
Juggernaut
Superman (can't use heat vision in Event 5)
Thanos (no Gauntlet, that's not his natural strength)
The Thing
Thor
The events:
1. "Bench press" the Empire State building as many times possible before tiring
2. Contestant is harnessed to a rope connected to 100 linked Panzer tanks. Goal is to pull the line of tanks the fastest across the length of 10 football fields.
3. Like a shot put, throw an 18-wheeler the longest distance
4. Squat 50 tour buses welded together as many times possible before tiring
5. Bend as many steel girders as possible in a minute
Take the poll! Who takes home the trophy?

My pick to win the whole thing is Superman. Upset that he lost to Hulk at the last competition, Supes trains like crazy to edge out the Hulk in the 2nd contest. Hulk did after all just edge Superman when I made this thread.
For some reason, people question why any powerhouse that's not Supes, Juggs, or the Hulk should not be in this competition. But they wouldn't lose by an embarassing margin
All readers, if you could, please vote on the poll so I can actually tally the true scores for each contestant to come up w/ a winner based on the votes. In other words, if you just comment on who would win, but don't vote, it won't be counted. Thanks
The rules state Apocs must maintain his default size and strength throughout the competition. He's not allowed to increase his size and strength past what he'd normally be if no one was fighting him. It wouldn't be fair against the other contestants
As far as repetition goes, I might give my vote to Superman. If it were a test of lifting sheer weight, I would choose Thanos or Hulk. Apocalypse cannot endow himself with infinite strength.
