Explain to me how team 2 defend against all that energy raining down on their head.

Ok, I'll try to put this in terms of the simplest maths. The Annihilators have:BRB
Quasar
Surfer
Gladiatorwhile the JLA have:
Superman
Kyle
Martian Manhunter
Flash
DianaZauriel, Aquaman and Plasticman are more than enough to deal with Ronan if it ever comes to that.
The characters whose weaknesses can be exploited are:
Gladiator
Superman
Martian ManhunterEven if we assume each team can take these fighters very fast using weakness exploitation the odds would still be equal in the number of heralds competing. It's obviously harder to aim at two herald level enemies and exploit their weaknesses than to aim at a single one -we can then start argue which characters can atatck the weaknesses of the others, but the amount of attackers and targets are among the same-.
The amount of real fast attackers is as follows:
Superman
Wonder Woman
FlashSilver Surfer
Gladiator
Quasar (?)As you see, once again the league not only holds its own but has the fastest character around.
You can argue that Surfer is the strongest herald in both teams, but even there, he's not taking down two heralds at once. He would be hard pressed even just against MM and Kal with weakness exploitation.
Bottomline, the JLA has every advantage here. People who want the Annihilators winning may as well say "Surfer solos" because he's the only factor in the Marvel team's favor.
