Champion is overrated.
Minus the Power Gem, He did a good job beating up Wonder Mans weakest incarnation, but that's about it.. And with the Power Gem, he wasn't very impressive. Yeah, he almost smashed through Thanos's shields, but his fighting strategy was simply "Champion smash". Not good for a guy who's supposed to be the Elder of fighting.
I'll go with the originator of "smash" over the cheap copy.
