@ancient_god:
Interesting line ups. While all four on team one are below the big guns of team two I see hector hall as a weak link that evens it nicely. While there is plenty of instances during his Run as Fate alluding to his power in practice his showings are a little wanting. He always comes to a win after getting outside help. To defeat Mordru he got advice from Nabu, and Kent inside the amulet. He even went to Mordru for advice once or twice.
Soul Gem Adam has beaten Mephisto in his own realm which is telling because a blood lusted Alan who was doing very well in Hell during underworld unleashed lost once Neron came into the battle. Based on feats Neron isn't IMO at Mephisto's level and if Alan can't pull a win when he's fervently fighting to free his wife's soul I doubt he's taking down Warlock.
Shadowlands Obsidian Soloed the JSA and possessed them to use against each other. That of course wont work on Ultron or Thanos (at least i doubt it). It will work on Hector Fate (because it already has ) but of course Starheart Alan also did that to fate and to Obsidian (though interestingly later when Eclipso stole the starheart he couldn't, so at best a line ball call and inconsistent).
I'd say Obsidian can take Fate, any of the other three can take Alan in a tough and hard fought fight. I could see Hellstrom or Adam taking Ultron in a hard battle (or maybe just BFR). It would however take at least two of them to take down Thanos in the end and I don't see them finishing the others of fast enough to make it happen, although I do see the team work better between team 1 than team 2. So maybe that could be the telling difference.
I'd say team two but it's certainly no stomp
