Strongest One There Is

For the purpose of this thread all powers except for strength, durability, and stamina have been removed.

Innate abilities such as Intelligence, fighting skill, and will power are allowed.

There are NO other powers- flight, healing/regeneration, speed, amping (except through natural means such as adrenaline, will power, or rage), or other exotic powers included.

Assume every combatant has equal speed and reaction times.

This is solely a contest of strength, durability, stamina, skill, and will power.

Additionally, no contestant has prep time. They are literally teleported to an arena (500 x 500 yds), and have their above mentioned powers removed.

The contestants are as follows:

Superman
Thanos
Darkseid
Hulk (World War version)
Champion
Black Adam (World War III version)
Orion
Gladiator
Wonder Woman
Sentry
Thor
Hercules
Drax (current)
Colossus
Thing

Do it.

What about healing/regeneration?

Good question... no healing, just straight durability.

Added to opening post.

How does the 'no speed' thing works? Some of the contestants get their speed through sheer muscle power? Even Hulk. So how do we determine who is now faster for the purpose of those with say, equivalent combat skills?

Write In: Juggernaut - re: vs D'Spayre - rage only makes him stronger and he has durability in the bag.

Realistically Champion's beat Thing and Thor in a contest of skill (and once back on Earth WWH never showed any fighting skill more impressive than side-stepping Juggernaut so he's not even close)

Thanos
DS
All others.

The way I see it, it all goes down to Superman, Darkseid and Thanos, possibly Orion aswell.

Anyways Thanos would probably win.

Thanos doesn't 'probably' win, he mops up.

Where's Batman?

Black Adam was pretty strong.

How does this type of fight not favor the Hulk?

Furthermore, regarding Champion, Thanos was beginning to have trouble with him in his previous encounter until he used a blast and then let Champion destroy the planet. Hew even mentions something along the lines of, I can't keep this physical confrontation up for much longer, this must be what it's like to face the behemoth Hulk, implying that eventually Champion would of had the better of him in a purely physical confrontation.

In the street leveler brawl where he belongs.

FTR Champion had the PG against THANOS.

Very true.

Thanos.

Without Hulk's healing factor, he's going to end up taking more hits than he's used to that actually effect him. He's used to leading with his chin because it normally doesn't effect the fight for him. He's shown he can fight without his HF, but he's never shown it when the likes of Thor and Superman are throwing haymakers at him.

Thanos still has better durability than anyone on the list, great h2h skills, and impressive strength.

Wonder Woman FTW. She put's on a striptese that'll bring the gentlemen to their knees and weakens them all. Then the assult begins.

Hulk still has immense durability without his healing factor, and he still gets stronger the longer the fight goes on.

Yes, Thanos is pimp, and is strong and durable as anyone, but I do believe without amping, forcefields, or other exotic powers, Thanos can be taken down.

Furthermore, in a battle such as this, if the other contestants see that one other fighter is thrashing the rest, they'll probably team up until they can put him down.

I also think Stamina is a huge factor in a fight like this. There are certain characters who are just not going to last due to fatigue.

Im going to say the last three standing are:

Thanos
Hulk
Darkseid

Thanos or Superman.

j/k. nah, really, Thanos dominates here. 😈 🤣 😈
