At the moment, yeah he would lose the majority to pretty much all these guys, some more than others though not by stompings.If they do bring him back they probably need to tone him down a bit. The author kind of made him to much of a 12 year-old fanboy's character (in fact I think he created him while he was a kid, and it shows). Making a character who is as strong as Thor or Hulk, can fly and has antimatter powers etc, and he's a top genius and scientist, and he's a decorated military guy, and he's friends with the Watcher, and Sub-Mariner, and he was an important historical figure, and he was friends with the President, and he beats down King Hyperion - all in his first two appearances - it's just too much. I'm not surprised they haven't used him again outside of What If. There's almost nowhere for a character like that to go.
Actually these days he'd probably beat Thor like everyone else does.
Yeah, he came off as a Gary Stu for Grevioux.
But at the same time, Grevioux was careful to try to point out in dialogue and interviews that he was simply meant to be at level with the top tiers in Marvel, not above it.
-Anyway, he could get a split against Thor physically at least. Thor can do a lot of things he cannot though.
-He loses 10/10 to Superman--not fast enough, only a bullet timer at best by bio extrapolations.
-Looks good against Hulk for a little while, but he's not too fast for Hulk and in the end Hulk's strength feats do shit on his...Maybe his more esoteric powers could help him.
-Captain Marvel, see Superman.
-Nova's far too fast for him.
-Hal Jordan. Krona buster ftw.
-Surfer is too fast perception speed wise, and can do anything he can and more.
-WW, again see Superman.
-Gladiator is too fast, and matches him everywhere else except the whole 'anti-matter' thing.
-J'onn by feat extrapolations, but I'll just say J'onn one shots himself.
