the lion has more than a chance, it's a male lion for christ's sake. lions drag 520 kg + wildebeest and zebra around, fight off hyena, and male lions battle for dominance all the time.
this is a rare occasion, this fight is actually 100% pure PIS.
i say this because unlike superman losing to toyman or some other lame villain, lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!) are actual living creatures that were then placed into comic form and put into ridiculous situations to make the hero/villain look tough. punisher giving that polar bear a right cross is......wow, normally that feat would be considered suicide by the inuit, so i will take that with a grain of salt the size of a basketball. you know, it's not like polar bears take swats to the face during their lives, the north pole is a peaceful habitat where male bears get everything they need/want without a fight........
And which part of that makes you think that a lion would have a chance here?
You are looking at a group where several of the men have gotten into fights with hundreds of armed assassin where they not only won the fight but avoided any serious injury. How many men with swords could a lion beat? Three? Four? Five? Would he live long enough afterwards for it even to matter? Not only is everyone on this list faster and stronger than a lion, they have faced down and come out victorious against thing 10 levels more dangerous than any lion on a logarithmic scale. It isn't even a contest. These aren't normal humans. They aren't even close.

well, cap DEAD LIFTS 1000lbs or benches 800+ pounds in optimal conditions or with extreme effort, and one's dead lifting strength may seldom come into play when fighting a lion, maybe cap will use his legs to push the lion off of him.
^ronnie coleman's awe inspiring 2300 lbs leg press...yeah it's real.
though impressive, the weights weren't trying to rip his throat out.
but that maneuver is also a double-edged sword because large cats cave strong curved claws made for holding onto prey, and if the lion's teeth are sunk into any flesh, kicking or lifting the lion off of you might remove some vitals.
but i do agree that spidey has the best chance of survival, everyone else imo is going to need a big band-aid.
if that was directed at me, i'm not forgetting anything.
the thread question is vague to me because it looks like the characters are fighting a real life lion so i have to apply real life logic towards it, and since it was never mentioned that it is a comic book lion i think i'm in the right.
if it were movie versions of the characters versus a real lion, the lion eats all of these guys save maybe spider-man. but if it's a comic "lie-on" then i guess the heroes win because comic lions are stuffed with cotton anyway.
p.s. punisher called those polar bears "docile", usually that would be considered an oxymoron. oh well, it's a comic bear.
too bad the writers forgot that a male lion's mane is for exactly protecting itself from that attack, and also shielding itself from the patented lion air pipe bite.
