It happened in Captain Atom: Armageddon, except Cap said it would take Apollo a few hours of non stop punching to wear him down.
I wouldn't put much stock in that series regardless, for a number of reasons. For one thing, Apollo was never a cold blooded killer, like portrayed there, and they forgot Majestic has magic resistance, given how easily the Doctor froze him (Sure, the Doctors powerful, but it should take more then a simple two bit trick..)
Wrong on many levels. Apollo kills all the time. I never remember the "few hours of non-stop punching" comment, and I posted the fight to the respect thread. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think you're misremembering.
Majestic's resistance has never been shown to be so powerful that someone on the Doctor's level can't harm him. Yes, the Doctor can toy with Superman clones. Everything about his history and feats suggests this, and he has other feats that replicate or surpass that one.
I don't know or care who wins this fight. I just dislike misinformation. The Cpt. Atom feat was a good one for Apollo, one of his better ones, but not entirely anomalous. The only bad writing from a power standpoint in that arc was Majestic jobbing to Atom.
i dont remember apollo defeating captain atom. mary marvel beat captain atom once, so i am not impressed. i think superboy has better feats and more of them. he just helped stop a tidal wave with his ttk.
Both Maul and Apollo pounding on him didn't seem to do much damage though. Usually even with high end bricks, grounding and pounding causes serious damage (If it was Superman mounted on Black Adam, can you see BA standing up to the same assault Maul and Apollo inflicted on CA without a lot of physical damage?)
Well, when reading it, it gave me the impression Captain Atom was having serious trouble. He also seemed to overpower Majestic at some point, so who knows exactly which powerlevel he had.
