Obviously, Superman.

Lobo. (No more a villain then Guy Gardner really..)

Diana
Martian Manhunter
Flash (any)
GL (Any good one)

These four alone fighting at their best could AT LEAST stalemate supermen. Imo in a forum environment that there is noway for a character whod have a hard time facing these guys solo. Same goes for Hulk, his only saving grace is the avengers squads he's faced ar normally filled with fodder. U wont see him soloing Photon, Classic Thor, Classic Strange, Sentry whoever at the same time. Hed beat a giant man, wasp, cap, ms marvel and jobbing thor roster all day though

Conversely, few teams are stacked with all power characters like you're suggesting. Presumably, the Original Poster (OP) of this thread wants us to go by actual showings, and most published "hero versus team" comic book fights do involve the hero versus 1 or 2 big guns, a lot of fodder, people holding back, and/or "The Rule of Ninja" being followed.

Power Girl holds her own against a team that took down Captain Marvel because of that ninja rule.

Always got wrecked 1 vs 1 against pretty much any big gun.

The JLA is generally stacked though. Which is my point. There's always a GL, a Flash, two spoerman analogues not named superman, a high level mage or magic tank, a warrior woman, a robot/cyborg and the brain whos generally street level. Its kind of a myth that certain heroes are team wreckers when in reality and taking the fights scenes in addition to context together youd get a better picture.

Spiderman is a prime example of a character who shouldn't beat teams but has a history of doing so

Wolverine.

Spider-man.

Power Girl has an unfair advantage given her ability to.. uh how should I say? DISTRACT her opponents!

Actually the storyline specifically noted that they were handicapped by the mind control, although for a character like her who usually doesn't get much, it was a pretty nice feat.

Spiderman, Black panther, Batman off the top of my head and in that order for the most part.

Because there are always extenuating circumstances...someone on either side is always holding back. Place classic Hulk against a decent Avengers squad (not a bunch of streets and low metas) and hed lose. Same goes for Clark. He can't beat a non jobbing JLA.

When heroes wreck teams someone is always mind controlled, not themselves, not trying to hurt their friends, holding back etc...ive never seen a fight where everyone on both sides is going all out.

True. If the big guns decide to wreak superman they would. But as you stated, they hold back not wanting to kill or hurt their friend. That's why people THINK some characters are team wreckers when they do good against their team who are not going for the stomp.

Exactly. The character would have to be atleast trans and to beat a non jobbing JLA/Avengers team and both sides would have to not hold back. Those examples exist in Marvel/DC. The closest example was conquest vs invincible and friends...if everyone went all out every fight would look like that

Which is why this scene tickled me:

Why? Because the Suicide Squad AND the JLA, were not holding back, because that is what Eclipso does to you:

What book is that? The art is terrible

Justice League vs Suicide Squad. Had the reappearance of Maxwell Lord, plus pre-52 Lobo.

Plus a badass rendition of Waller.

Bbw waller or slim waller?

BBW, just the way I like her.

Could be a bit thicker though. I'm not a fan of anorexic Waller.

This is about as backhanded as compliments get, and I'm not sure whether the fact Delta probably genuinely DOES consider it a TRUE compliment makes it better or worse.

He fought a team that consisted of...

Ironman
Hercules
Namor
Wonderman
She Hulk
Doc Samson
Photon

And the list goes on and on. Huge team and he was winning until he started to get weaker due to him dying.

Did you just google that?

You dont think

"Ironman
Hercules
Namor
Wonderman
She Hulk
Doc Samson
Photon " at their best can't beat Hulk (savage im assuming) in a forum battle?
