OK, Batman can beat Cyclops but not Logan, Beast but not Storm, not Jean, Nightcrawler, not Emma, Kitty, not Rogue or Iceman, Gambit (darn good fight), Jubilee, Archangel, not Colossus, his share of Sentinels, Toad, not Juggernaut, Mystique, Blob, Bishop, Psylocke (another good fight), not Sabretooth, obviously not Lord Magnus (fool!), no one can beat Professor X, he can beat Quicksilver, not Wanda, a whole bunch of people...unless he spontaneously combusts.
Spontaneous combustion would make one of the best surprise deaths in comics.
Spider-Man: Gwen! You're alive! I would have thought the trauma would have killed you!
Gwen: No. The laws of physics don't apply in comics, silly.
spider-Man: what a relief!
(Gwen spontaneously combusts)
Peter: Curse you, Goblin!
Darth Vader: Where's Padme! Is she alright?
Sidious: Yeah. Why?
(Padme spontaneously combusts)
Sidious: Ha ha.
Vader: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Batman: Jason! I thought the Joker had killed you! (you get the idea)
