Pre-New 52 Captain Marvel vs. Wildstorm's Apollo

Normally I would have said Apollo. He should be equal if not close enough in the strength department to hurt Marvel. He also isn't above killing his opponent when in a fight. Atom was even worried during their encounter. Sadly though; Apollo will begin to lose steam after about an hour, and since Marvel is strong enough as well as durable enough to go the distance, he will eventually take it. Apollo would need to get to the sun and Marvel has no problem following him there. Billy wins after a decent fight.

Marvel wins without too much trouble.

I like that you actually wrote out a response. So few do... Anyway, I've got some questions about it. You think Apollo would lose steam after about an hour, but why would that be an issue? How often do fights take anywhere near that long? What suggests to you that this fight would drag on for more than an hour? You also say that Apollo would need to go to the sun but Marvel can follow him, but going to the sun doesn't just bring Apollo back to full strength, it super charges him, so Marvel may follow him, but he would find Apollo to be even more powerful than before.

Ok your right about fights not going long. But big-gun characters tend to have extended battles. Except for the fight Between Blue Marvel and Sentry, which was a bit too short for my taste. Marvel has fought Superman on more then occasion and I feel that while powerful: Apollo would have to press his powers to their limits. As for the sun. I should have elaborated, Marvel stops Apollo before he gets their if he's weakened. I really meant it as though he could follow Apollo into the air towards the Sun. lol

@Guardiandevil83: Even extended though, I can't really recall any fights between two powerhouses that dragged on for that kind of time, and even if there were some, it's definitely not what happens most often. I think with access to a Door, Apollo is not going to be prevented from reaching the sun.

Cap, no problem.

I forgot about the door!

Can't the door get you anywhere in a second? Well now I'm thinking Apollo could fight for a while until weakened, call for the door, get to the sun and come back even stronger. But I still see Marvel winning. His abilities are more magical then anything else. Not entirely sure..but can he even grow tired?
