Well-written Champion runs the gauntlet
A well-written Champion who knows thousands of martial arts and styles runs the gauntlet. No CIS/PIS. He has the power gem. Btw, Champion gets three hours of rest between each battle.
1) Ironman
2) Terrax
3) Firelord
4) Captain Marvel (Billy Batson)
5) Blue Energy Superman
6) Gladiator
7) Kilowog
8) Amazo w/Flash's speed, Superman's strength, MM's invisibility, and Batman's fighting skills
9) Rune King Thor
As much as I would like to see Champion get a little more respect around here, I see a slight problem in his fights. The problem is that most, if not all of his opponents, can fly and shoot energy blasts. Theoretically they could simply fly out of Champion's effect range and blast him until he eventually goes down (assuming they have enough offensive capacity to do such a thing). At worst I could see them forcing a stalemate. Champion is handicapped in this gauntlet, imo, by his relatively limited versatility.

I was thinking in terms of hand to hand for some reason though I guess this isn't stipulated in the first post so you raise a fair point.
I've changed my mind, he struggles to get past Iron Man!

Agreed, for that reason alone, I say he makes it to 3.

He can? 😕 Every bio I've read of him says he can't.

How powerful are the blasts?

That's the exact reason why I said I'd be amazed if he got passed 3 or 4.

He gets to 8. He is as powerful or more than any below and he is a much better fighter. Why is 9 even on this list?
