Well let's see, titanium has an ultimate tensile strength of 434 MPa. Not super sure how to convert pressure to force, but if I put shit into the calculator correctly then crushing and manipulating the whole cube (which looked to be a six inches on each side) would take about 189 short tons of force.Calc I used:

I'm not sure I did this right though.
Anyway, any of the higher end heroes in the MCU or DCEU can replicate that feat based on that, such as Thor, Hulk, Superman, and likely Diana as well.
But I'm really not sure how to translate crushing strength feats to lifting or punching, so I could be wildly wrong here.

Titanium's tensile strength is of 480MPa
In comparison, IM's Gold-Titanium suit has a tensile strength of 800MPa+

I used to dunk kids heads into toilets like you and take their soymilk money.
Tensile strength is not the same as compressive strength.
A block used for testing (and what was shown in the scene) is about 15cm x 15cm x15cm.
It takes a hydraulic press between 350-400 tons to compress a block of titanium.
Someone using there hands in the manner she did would be pressing with less than 225cm^2 of surface area. Therefore it would take roughly 200 tons of force to achieve the feat.

What about Danny rand or Jessica Jones?
Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are possibles for round 1.
Jessica Jones has casually broke huge steel padlocks.
Luke Cage casually bent a steel handgun.
The feats are below compressing a titanium cube but due to the casual nature of how they did it then it's plausible they can pass round 1.

It's significantly harder to compress than to pull apart.
Compressive strength is almost always larger than tensile strength for most metals.
I agree. Yet, the feat doesn't concern compression but rather deformation. She turned the cube into a ball, she didn't turned the block into a smaller one.
