When I first read the thread a few months ago I thought this would be a straightforward win for team 2, due to their generally greater power levels. Then the other day it struck me. The six men are all powerhouses with large male ego’s and no history of working together as a team. There’ll consequently be fighting as individuals rather than as an effective team.
This leaves the possibility for team 1 to form a cohesive and effective team to defeat team 2. And this is likely as women are more gregarious and instinctively group together when they feel threatened. The choice of leader would probably come down to merit with She-Ra and Wonder Woman being the favourites, due to their strategical experience as leaders in battle and super powers. So here’s what I think could happen.
Battle 1
Team 1 faces off against the members of team 2 they know best. This will allow the men to feel comfortable and confident of victory and means the women will not be surprised by the men’s actions. Team 1 would have a two pronged attack:
A) Engage team 2 in single combat to keep them busy.
B) Have their extra team member, possibly Big Barda, circulating around or teleporting behind team 2 where she can achieve the element of surprise and using her Mega-Rod KO the men one at a time.
Once the battle starts She-Ra facing her brother He-Man might make the first breakthrough. Her alter ego (Horde Force Captain) Adora has already faced He-Man in battle (the Sword of the Stone animated movie) twice before and on both occasions He-Man was KO’d quickly using an energy weapon fired by herself or a supporting Horde trooper. She-Ra therefore knows how to take He-Man down so when their swords clash she’ll KO He-Man quickly such as by firing an energy bolt from the stone in her sword. She will then turn her sword to Kryptonite thereby weakening Superman sufficiently that he can quickly be KO’d. So in a matter of seconds team 2 will probably have lost two of their greatest powerhouses (and more if Big Barda has taken others down from behind) and team 1 none. The women could then team-up to defeat the remaining members of Team 2 in quick succession to win.
Battle 2
In this scenario the battle will probably come down to the weapons each team has and the strength and skills of those who wield them. My initial thought was that team 2 would win due to their higher strength and stamina.
However, this might not always be correct. Going by the images given Team 1 has 5 members armed with swords while team 2 has 3 members armed with swords. Team 1 therefore has a clear initial advantage and being part of a more effectively organised team might win if team 2 has no effective leadership.
