Cream Of The Crop: Top tiers

ok, lets take the top 10 top tiers from each company. I probably left out some on each side, so let me know if i did. on Dc side:

1. Superman
2. Orion
3. Wonder Woman
4. Martian Manhunter
5. Flash (wally)
6. Majestic
7. Dr. Fate
8. Captain Marvel
9. Alan Scott (Sentinel)
10. Captain Atom

or

1. Thor
2. Dr. Strange
3. Nova
4. Surfer
5. Hulk
6. Beta Ray Bill
7. Adam Warlock
8. Gladiator
9. Black bolt
10. Quasar

Which side do you feel more confident that they will get the job done? which side is more powerful?

Marvel by a long shot.

😂

Looking through the respective lists, it looks like Marvel has more "money on the line" kind of guys on their roster.

This phrase, in defense of either side, is rather naive.

what do you mean by that?

If we take current (or most recent) versions, Alan and Cpt. Atom might be the class of this fight. In fact, at least Alan certainly is.

Too many variables to say for sure, of course. Big fights are crapshoots. I pick DC though, mainly due to Alan.

I am using pre flashpoint. and alan scott before the huge power amp. it wouldnt be fair if we used the one that was taking on the jla. still, alan was manipulating time like nbodys bussines.

Swap Wally for Barry imo. Nothing against him but I've always been a Barry fan 😄

Alpha male, win against all odds, balls to the wall guys. Thor, Hulk, Nova, Adam Warlock etc.

DC is overall more powerful though. Probably comfortably so.

It really depends on the task needed to be done.

Who can or cannot survive without air? Because I think this battle ends up in space pretty quickly.

Also, I see a certain grumpy, green guy cheering from the ground.
"Hey guys! Hey guys! Whattabout me? Don't forgetabout me! Throw somebody down here, because I'm the strongest there is!
...um, hello? Guys?!" 😄

Lot's of strength, but the real power-brokers are Fate, Scott and Atom against Surfer, Strange and Quasar. Energy/Magic wise.

Wildcards would be:
Thor and BRB, because of all the whacky stuff they can do, which is definitely not always easy to even put a label on.
And, for DC, throwing a "Flash" in the mix could cause some trouble. Not just a speedster, but an ultra-speedster with abilities that are even beyond the Runner.

Are these lists limited to hero's only? If so, I cant think of any changes I would make, but if not, I'd make the following changes:

On the DC side, I'd substitute Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter for Henshaw and Senestro...

On the Marvel side, Nova, Quasar, and Adam Warlock would be out and I'd insert Morg, Loki, and Firelord...

After said changes, I'd pick the Marvel side to win 7/10...

DC.

I'd only take out Warlock, and add Blue Marvel in his place.

Although they could fight in space, how often does this happen? The Flash is also pretty much landlocked as well.

Nah.

Nah.

Not if Warlock takes his soul away from him he doesn't.

Warlock isn't the only top tier that could do that. And he doesn't get the Soul gem.
