I also think that he clears the first five with ease, but what I thought would make the last two interesting is whether pressure point attacks would even work against Herc and Hulk. Neither are really human. And how well can Kenshiro take thunderclaps?
I remember when some people substituted pressure points for joint exploits cause cap used it effectively to get professor hulk off balance once (then almost got himself murdered) cause it worked
Ken teaching Danny Hokuto Shinken would be as big an upgrade for him as Spidey learning Kung Fu.
That's one thing writers don't do well with martial artists, is the pressure point stuff.. I think only Mantis really gets to cripple guys like Thor with it, while most other MAers, including Iron Fist, just try and bludgeon their opponents to death.
After Fist beats him, he trains him in the ways of the fist for many moons, and right before Kenshiro is ready to graduate from the school of Iron and Fist, Randiel kills him with one punch
Kenshiro is LEAGUES and LEAGUES faster than anyone on this list. Plus some of his esoteric stuff with ki and pressure points, and he should clear this gauntlet.
He's like the Japanese version of PC Karate Kid.

After looking at some FotNS manga again, I realize that I completely forgot how ridiculously powerful Kenshiro gets by about halfway through the series.
So adding:
8. WW Hulk
9. Flash
10. Superman (no flight or heat vision)
Daniel Rand is faster than lightning. In terms of short range speed at any rate.
He is able to limbo dodge, and do three back-flips in the time-frame of a microsecond. Do keep mind moving only a foot within a microsecond is eight hundred times the speed of sound.
In this same issue the narrator shows that he is aware the significance of what was stated earlier. He even outright says Danny has faster than lightning reactions.
Then he catches a bullet here after Brenda tries to kill herself. Do keep in mind since the gun was right next to her head? That means the timeframe he had to cross the distance had to be incredibly tiny.
As well as having destroyed Zhu-Rong the God of Fire in a single punch. After he got his chi back from the One. Zhu-Rong was powerful enough that his energy covered part of the planet, and could be seen from outer space.
On top of being being able to break out of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, and punch so hard that he destroys the fabric of reality. It's also compared to a baby nuke.
In terms of durability when Danny punched a train filled with enough explosives to make Hiroshima look like a sparkler, and wipe Kun-Lun off the map? He got out of it with nary a scratch.
His chi was able to mesmerize the Hulk, and transform him back into Bruce Banner. That before he learned the hypnotic fist style from Orson Randall. The best part is that Danny did it without even trying. Just so people know the Hulk has explicit resistance to mind control and hypnosis.
