Man, I agree. If Strange and especially Wanda aren't taken down nigh-immediately, both DC teams are in trouble.
Injustice League could take it if Reverse Flash goes ham right from the jump. He could take out Wanda and Strange before anyone barring DCEU Barry knows what is going on, but then you have Eobard, Black Adam, Lex in his Warsuit, and Bizarro to contend with Supes, Wonder Woman, Shazam, Thor, Hulk, and Captain Marvel while the rest of team Injustice does crowd control. That's also while you have a wild card like Ledger's Joker possibly getting bored and shooting his own teammates and making a quip. You have some top tier hitters on Injustice, but I don't think enough firepower.
Team MCU is the most well-rounded, and they have possibly the most powerful character in stats and feats in Captain Marvel and the most powerful reality warper by far in Wanda. However, Wanda is a glass cannon, and if Eobard, Barry, Supes, Black Adam, etc. get their sights on her before she gets enough into the game to pull some reality-warping shenanigans, she is out of there. Carol has restarted suns and flown through black holes and boxes with Thanos; like her or hate her, she can handle anyone here in a straight-up brawl. Only problem with Carol is speed: she has it flying in spades, but combat she doesn't measure up to Clark, Barry, Eobard, Black Adam, WW, or the original Captain Marvel. If MCU can work as a team, which they have more experience than anyone here doing, then Hulk, Thor, Vision, Captain Marvel, and the others run interference long enough for Tony, Strange, and Wanda to carpet bomb the area, hack Cyborg or Blue Beetle, and send both teams to another dimension or convince them they are in Smallville or on the moon while the Avengers theme by Alan Silvestri plays in the background.
My money is on either Marvel or the DCEU Justice League/Justice Society:
- A Superman who has a laundry list of feats and is the whole package after both versions of Justice League (flight speed, combat speed, strength, fighting at full strength and plenty of times even weakened by kryptonite, freezing breath and heat vision). He is the most stacked character here sans maybe Carol.
- OG Captain Marvel/Shazam, which is essentially this team's Black Adam.
- Wonder Woman is a diet version of Superman, and has a weapon that could kill anyone on either team with a good, clean strike.
- Dr. Fate is perhaps better than anyone on either team at crowd control with his duplicates, not to mention precognition.
- Aquaman, Cyborg, and Blue Beetle are all characters that can quickly defeat lower level opponents and hold their own for a bit against the big boys and girls on both teams.
- They also have the best (although not the most cutthroat, that's Thawne) speedster in DCEU Flash. Barry can turn back time solo, which is the biggest x-factor here unless he gets hard-countered by Strange, Wanda, Thawne, or Black Adam catching him off guard. Regardless if the movie sucked or was a good flick, The Flash puts the odds in favor of team DCEU unless Eobard vibrates his hand through Barry's heart while Ezra Miller is wigging out lol.
TL;DR:
- Gut reaction was Injustice, as Eobard is a massive leg-up out the gate. However, even with Bizarro and Black Adam, not enough heavy hitters.
- MCU has the most numbers and is best all-around for nearly any threat, but don't have the speed, durability, and sheer firepower to carry them in a brawl. Give them time and protection for Wanda and Strange though, and they for sure win.
- DCEU has the stats to go for a quick win, and the best top-tier heroes to carry them for the long game.
