The most ignominious defeat in comics
This topic is about what you think is the most shameful, badly written defeats in comic history.
E.g. Batamn takes the Hulk in an early crossover by somehow winding him and therefore getting him to suck in gas from a poison gas cansiter he opens. (its like being winded a by a housefly). Abysmal the writer shuld have his hands cut off!
I got a load of others but I wonder what anyone else has
Batman and Cap either winning isent an ignonimous defeat to anyone. Theyr close so any way its possible.
Batman taking Hulk with a kick isent.
And id say Hulk. Ironically one with the most over the top feats ever -in comics- its also one with some of the most lame defeats.
One by Batman.
Another when he was chocked by a snake.
And last by Spiderman thanks to a cement truck.
way back in 80's Langowski sasquatch (the one that lifts up battleships and tosses plane) gets beaten up physically (no gadgets tricks or other powers) by...
wait for it...
machine man!!! I can bench more this purple skeined gaybot.
i know strength is not the ultimated arbiter of who wins a fight - but it is one is fighting a proverbial gnat

didn't he channel the rings power into his Chi or something?

Hulk got taken by Doc Ock as well - bloody sacrilege.
totally disagree..... the Hulk got his ass kicked and he deserved it... Ock fought smart and beat the crap out of him

Nope. IM said something about not wanting it to be a lopsided fight, and Temujin says something like "I agree" and drops all ten rings. He then rushes tony and starts pounding him, smashes holes in the armor, main power failing (which seems to happen constantly under Grell's pen), Tony gets off a few easily dodged repulsor blasts before being beaten half to death with no explanation of how Temujin was able to do it. Good Kung-Fu? Apperantly Temujin must have studied under Karate Kid from the Legion or something without it or any other sort of foundation for this having been mentioned in the plot. Come on! Iron-Fist couldn't have dominated Tony like that!
Tony was only saved when this Junkie-Pseudo-Chechen-Rebel-Cyborg-Chick busts in and tears up the place.

Machine Man, in his mini series, also beat up the Iron Man of 2020, Arno Stark, who has about 90-100 times his strength. Pleeeaassee. Blame Tom DeFalco.
