I think the team wins. You could argue it either way. But Manhatten existed in a setting where he was the only super being as well as an incredibly powerful one. But the actual stuff he did, was it really that far beyond what the Surfer can do with the Power Cosmic or what classic Thor has done at times with the hammer or what Hal Jordan can do with his power ring? Has Manhatten ever displayed the kind of speed/ reaction time of Superman or the Surfer?Some of these guys should be able to destroy his body and certainly the Surfer or Jordan or Thor with the powers of the hammer (or all of them together) should be able to prevent him from reassembling.
The whole 'lack of appearances' thing works both ways.
For all we know, Doc Manhattan could manipulate the power cosmic better than Surfer and it could take 1000's of these guys to stop him from reforming. It's impossible to say what would keep him from reforming, or even what would cause his body to be destroyed should he anticipate an attack.
His only known weakness is that he can't manipulate time on his own. Maybe if someone else was manipulating time with energy, he could affect it? We have no basis for comparison.
On the other hand, it could be possible that a person with half of Surfer's power would make Doc Manhattan look like a complete fool.
This thread is pointless.
