Who would you hire to protect Earth?
You are in charge of protecting Earth. You have the following choices, which team do you think would best be able to protect Earth from any threat? Rank the teams from best to worst.
*The teams have access to all the resources of their members.
*NOTE: This scenario asks which team you think can best protect Earth...not which team is most powerful.
---
A. Superman / Batman
B. Silver Surfer / Reed Richards
C. Thor / Iron Man
I assume you mean OUR Earth. Plain 'ol Earth.
C is definitely out. Stark cannot be trusted. And Thor is simply too volatile.
B is out simply because of Richards. He's a brilliant man but he's TOO brilliant. We've seen what happens when he becomes detached from humanity and focuses on his experiments. Clor anybody? Silver Surfer is simply too powerful and detached from humanity. The public wouldn't trust him
Thus we're lleft with A. Superman would do a stellar job; being a guardian angel saving everyone when he can. Batman would similarly tackle crime and terrorism on all levels.
Superman and Batman are the only ones who could actual FIT in our world IMO.

Richard is worse than Wayne? I rather have Clor than OMACs running all over the place.
Batman has his limits. Richards just takes it a whole new level where he doesn't stop until something goes wrong. This is man who creates flower pots made of black holes just for the science. Recently, Millar has written him to be depiction of science without morals. IMO the only thing that prevents him from going over the edge his family. Which he won't have in our world
Batman only created the OMACs because of superheroes mindwiping everyone. There's no superheroes in our world either than Superman. Which he would no doubt have K-Nite for just in case.
I see him becoming Batman a la "Dark Knight".

The public wouldn't trust Superman more than Surfer either.
Superman has shown time and again he knows how to win the public's trust as the Boy Scout and his "boy next door" attitude. He definitely have problems with international affairs but he's dealt with that before. The people will love him eventually with no doubt a few dissenters on Youtube stating he's the anti-christ.
Silver Surfer on the other hand sucks at public relations. He's never really protected mankind other from cosmic threats. He's genuinely perturbed by human affairs and often tries to avoid it. The public won't trust him because he's friggin' silver and he's clearly not human, nor does he inspire faith like Superman does.

i am saying SS gets owned pretty easily. it's the truth.
Doom owning him was not easy and that is a huge feat. Doom is not some average Joe when it comes cunning. Even Thanos stated himself that he must keep tabs on Doom and you know you're the shit when Thanos worries enough to keep up with your exploits and whatnot.
