5 against Thanos & Darkseid

Dr. Doom, Dr. Strange, Magneto, Cable and Juggernaut.
vs.
Thanos & Darkseid

Without prep i go for Thanos and DS

I think that Team Doom "could" win by minimal margin.

nothing team doom could do would get them

if i had to choose 5 "thorlevel" heroes it would be

beta ray bill, superman, the doctor, jack hawksmoor, doctor strange

I'd go for team Doom here, they have magic, which is the xfactor here

BTW, why is Darkseid so powerful, what are his powers beyond his eye beam and generic superstrength and durability?

Darkseid's beams track their targets at superspeed, and can either disintegrate the target or cast them anywhere in spacetime that Dearkseid wants to send them. Superman and Doomsday both resisted the disintegration, but a sustained barage might yet have overwhealmed their bio-fields.

Cable, Doom, and Magneto's forcefields would be useless against it, though Juggs might resist the disintegration. However, porting Cain into a black hole would do just as well (yes he might "walk" out eventually, but thanks to time dilation it'd be millions of years or more in the outside frame of reference before he emerged)

Strange is the wildcard. If he survives the openning few seconds they have a chance. At his peak Strange has toppled far greater foes than these two combined, but his "everyday" power-level is far less. If Strange can manage to even contain Darkseid for a while, I'll take the rest of the team vs Thanos with heavy casualties.

Of course Thanos would probably see it that way too and target Strange right off. The devil is in the details.

See not as lopsided as you might think.

Thanos & Darkseid win

Thanos is the Key.

Woundn't he get stalemated by Dr strange and Cable - I don't know how resistent he is to mental attacks.

graet post, lam. i agree completely - if strange falls, so do the heroes.

Yup indeed.

These two are seriously tough.

Oh - and Laminator - Parasite has survived Darkseid's beams too.

But he was being held in a headlock by Supes at the time, so maybe he was leaching bio-field from Supes....?

But yeah - if Strange - the wildcard - is eliminated, then Thanos cosmic blasts and DS omega beams will destroy the others.

Specter-Hal turned the beams aside with ease, but you know, he was the Specter.
The J.M DeMeteis Specter series also appears to have been banished from continuity. It's a shame. The Specter's evolution from Spirit of Vengance to Spirit of Redemtion was an awesome story.
