2 of the characters on the DC side has innate control of gravity. Superman, and Teth.
1 of the characters on the Marvel side has innate control of gravity. Hyperion.
Why does this matter? Well they would immediately be able to root themselves in place, while the Marvel guys would need to dig in. this would take precious time that they wouldn't possess when the gong rung.
Team 2 has the better strengrh feats, and I'm pretty sure that was known upon creation of the thread.
Midgard Serpent, keeping the Earth together, holding two worlds apart for awhile.
No offense but the gravity thing, sounds unbelievably optimistic and has never factored in to anything strength wise that I know of for most flyers.
I really didn't spin anything Riv. The fact is, team DC has two characters that defy gravity innately, whereas Marvel only has one, and tug of wars mostly come down to weight. However, in this case, weight is mitigated by the ability to personally bend gravity. I'm sorry that you don't get it, but the fact remains that Hyperion, superman, and Teth all have the ability to walk on walls. The others do not.
If I was Thor, I'd stand close to Hulk so no one could see what I'm doing, tie the rope off onto the hammer, and drop it while team 1 wears themselves out..
But seriously, I agree with DS and Stoic. Speed and anchoring.
Both Black Adam and Superman outclass everyone in speed on team 2 except Hype. So he'll need to hold out against two comparably strong characters from the bell, before his team manages to react and help him.

I'm no Tug Of War Expert, but I've seen a few. And I can honestly say that at no point, ever, did I overhear anyone in the crowd whisper to someone else "Boy, that team looks FAST. They're bound to win for sure" Sure, Superman is fast. But what's that got to do with being able to drag a rope with weight on the end of it? You might as well say 'Team DC wins because of the Astro Force'
