How's Nefaria's TP resistance? Good or bad I'd back the League, but the ease in which they take it depends on that.
The classic version doesn't have any as far as i can recall. Avengers were mostly a weak (and a small) team anyway and the entire team was established to be weaker than Thor alone (a few issues before the nefaria arc even). The later version in v3 (where Nefaria became an ionic being like WM) had, from what i remember, telepathy of his own which he used against wonder man after he weakened him. But i vaguely recall that arc too. Although the classic version did also have massive super-speed where even speedsters like whizzer seemed statues to him. So there's that.

Yeah, massive Marvel Superspeed, which Iron Man was able to match along with strength for moments when he pushed his armour to the limits.
No he didn't match his speed at all, he just a moment of glory before getting overwhelmed. Iron man was stomped by the golden age Whizzer in avengers #153, and SS whizzer in prior issues (Avengers #141) who was a literal statue to nefaria. And yet IM somehow momentarily did manage to have an advantage. That's comics for you i guess. Regardless, im not even arguing in Nefaria's favor. But yes, he does have massive super-speed and this isn't even debatable.

I'm usually one to argue against the "he"s Silver Age Superman with a beard" camp, but here I think he's being criminally downplayed..
Giving Thor a hard time alone should give him physical odds against someone like J'onn (At least a badly written J'onn.. You know, his average.)
