I'm thinking about it, and I just can't come up with a fair match of Avengers characters who can stand up to the JLA.

So, to put my tired brain to rest, I'll leave it to you guys to help me.

Which Avengers members can combat the following JLA members in a fair fight?

  • Superman
  • Batman
  • Wonder Woman
  • Green Lantern (Jordan)
  • Flash (Allen)
  • Aquaman
  • Martian Manhunter

Yeh, its hard because they're usually either mismatches or stomps in one favor, or threads so flamed that I have no idea who would win. The only battles I believe are Superman beats Hulk and MM beats Vision.

Exactly. Anyone I think of who might be able to take on one character, just gets mind f*cked by MM. And then there's Flash and Superman...

@Gambit1024:

  • Superman vs Sentry - Superman would still win but Sentry would be a fairer match than Thor at least
  • Batman vs Captain America/Iron Man - In a random encounter Cap would be the best match up. With prep Tony's the more viable candidate.
  • Wonder Woman vs Ms Marvel (with Binary Powers) - This way Carol is powerful enough to compete with the Amazon.
  • Green Lantern (Jordan) vs Photon (Rambeau) - Rambeau is capable of duplicating any energy she isn't familiar with. Even though her encounter with Kyle Rayner in JLA/Avengers wasn't canon, I envision her doing the same to Hal.
  • I'll get back to you on the Flash. Even Barry can deliver some hard hitting punishment
  • Aquaman vs Namor - Namor should be able to defeat Aquaman comfortably. The only match I can see the Avengers winning.
  • And I'll have to get back to you on MM too. Vision doesn't stand a chance in terms of strength, speed and durability.

Superman Vs Sentry

Batman Vs Black Widow

Wonder Woman Vs Hercules

Flash Vs Photon (She's the only one fast enough to compete with him)

Green Lantern Vs Quasar

Aquaman Vs Namor

Martian Manhunter Vs Thor (Only because he's highly resistant to Telepathy)

I dont want to turn this into a Superman vs thor thread, but i have to respond to this. Magic does hurt superman more than mortal attacks but it doesnt guarantee an automatic win, superman's superior speed and strength should give him the edge

Here's what I like so far:

  • Thor- He, in my opinion, would be a better combatant to Superman over Sentry because he has magic on his side. While magic doesn't necessarily count as an automatic win, it's a safer bet than Sentry, who, if MM gets a hold of, could hurt the team more than help.
  • Iron Man- His tech is on par, if not better than Batman's, and can aid against some other threats if need be.
  • Ms. Marvel (Binary)- She can hold her own against Diana, and could take on Hal as well, assuming that she can make something of the GL's energy.
  • Photon- Like said, she'd be one of, if not the best, combatant against Green Lantern. If she finishes him quick enough, she could attempt to fight Flash.
  • Wonder Man- I'm not positive on the extent of his power, but I remember reading somewhere that he has the potential to be immortal? I don't know, someone please clarify. He could be an asset to help take on Flash maybe. Also, how has he fared against telepaths?
  • Namor- The only real character that can attempt to best Aquaman. My fear for him is that his cockiness would get the better of him.
  • Sersi or Vision- Sersi is the only telepath who has been an Avenger (IIRC). Weather or not she can stand up to MM is one thing, but if she can, what exactly could she do against his array of other powers? Would she distract while Iron Man or Wonder Man go in for the KO? If she's not good enough, Vision is the logical choice because, as an android, TK shouldn't effect him... right?

    Also, what can Dr. Strange, Scarlet Witch, She-Hulk, Hercules, Hulk, Sentry, and Nova bring to the table?

    Great suggestions so far, guys :)

Agreed. He might be fast, but if he can't compete with Superman (who's slower than Flash), he has no business being there.

@Gambit1024: Thor doesn't have the speed to compete with Superman. He gets blitzed to a pulp as he has very poor showings against speedsters let alone speedsters with Superman's strength level to boot. Again, Wonder Man is powerful but Barry could run circles around him. Then again Barry doesn't have Wally's feats to support him so that might count in WM's favour. And having had plenty of experience with MM's feats thanks to CB's respect thread, Sersi won't nearly be a powerful enough telepath to compete with him and Vision will get torn to shreds.

Thanks for using my suggestion of Photon though! I appreciate it! :)

@Immortal777: You know, you can suggest some match-ups too...

@Lvenger: I thought Thor's speed was much higher than that. Besides, I believe him to be more durable than Sentry. Superman's just too good for Avengers members, I guess :P

Flash is probably the hardest character to beat. Not one character mentioned so far is good enough to fight him, IMO.

MM's another one. Vision would go the way of Disassembled, and even if Sersi can stand up to his TP, she's not durable enough against his strength and heat vision.

Should I just include all Marvel characters instead of just limiting it to Avengers?

if it's one-on-one battles then it's been established who wins. using strategy though...

iron-man takes on MM. he was shown in AvX to have nanites which completely stop a person from using telepathy. emma frost had to go into her diamond form just to think straight. with his TP taken out MM becomes a lot less threatening to iron-man. he is almost as resourceful as batman and has much more powerful weapons. he should be able to deal with MM.

doctor strange vs superman. it's already been said that a little magic wont insta-kill superman but i think strange's skill should be enough to at least stall him long enough to get some back up.

thor vs wonder woman. he'll finish her as quick as he can and go help dr. strange.

captain america vs. batman. bats is resourceful and a genius but cap is cap. he can handle whatever bats throws at him one at a time. this is overall a smaller scale brawl then most of the others. someone will just come and collect the two in buckets afterwards if it turns out to be a stalemate.

scarlet witch vs flash. hear me out. she just needs to make a probability field where she is not in the way of any of his attacks. she's used that power before and it has done reality bending miracles. while the flash can't hit her she just needs to shatter his leg bones or send him to an entirely different reality. it's a gamble and the whole avengers vs jla fight depends on her doing this right, but she has been proven to be exceptionally powerful (especially lately) and i think she can pull it off.

spider-woman vs aquaman. this depends the absolute most on stalling. she just has to use her pheromones to keep him occupied long enough for wanda to come unmake him or something.

invisible woman (i think she counts?) vs green lantern. sue has shown a vicious, crafty side before and a much greater intelligence then GL. combined with her invisibility she probably has a good chance. (if she doesn't count then just put Hulk in her place: smash).

@Gambit1024: It's really not. Yeah there are instances of him tagging Quicksilver, avoiding Hela and moving with the speed of lightning but they don't measure up to Superman's speed or reaction feats. Thor's been blitzed by Mongoose, Spider-Man and others, both of whom Superman would leave in the dust. As for durability, he might last longer than the Sentry if Sentry had the same speed as Thor but with Sentry's speed advanatage, he would be a better match for Superman.

I think the trick would be to not match up the characters strength to strength, but rather strength to weaknesses to make it interesting.

How about the fact that Thor is capable of draining energy with Mjolnir, such as that energy generated by the Sun, that same energy that solely gives Superman all of his powers? Are you implying Clark Kent can take on Thor? Because yes, Thor's magic stomps Superman. It isn't a good fight either way, but morals off Thor wins without a single thought.

Nice matches, but I'm not too familiar with Noone. When was he an Avenger? :P

Seriously though, I like a majority of what I see here.

Cool fact! I have some questions for you, though:

  • Assuming if this is a random encounter (I never specified in the OP, so I'll allow whatever as of now), would Thor ever think to do this just because?
  • Has he done this (or something like it) to another character before?
  • If we're going by this logic, could Binary Ms. Marvel do the same thing if she wanted to? Her whole power set (IIRC) revolves around absorbing/expelling energy. So could she drain Superman's cells of solar radiation and pretty much leave him for dead?

In a random encounter it would not cross his mind as an option. Thor is strictly honorable, and would not depend on Mjolnir in such a radical way unless driven to, as is common knowledge about Thor ("idiotic fighter"). He would get beaten up, but would put up a respectable fight contrary to what Superman fans would state. A moral's off Thor, hypothetically one who knows and wishes for Kal-El's death, would not hesitate to do so, and it is Mjolnir that also grants him the ability to detect energies in addition to rivalling cosmic control over them.

He has done it before.

I imagine she would have less difficulty than Thor in doing so and not think twice about it from the get-go. However if left to, erm, soak up the sunlight in peace, obviously Superman would be able to recover.

Now I have a question for you. Would a comic depicting such logic sell?

See, I like you. You bring in level-headedness and facts.

I'm in total agreement with you on the first part. If morals are on, Thor would be beaten (in a pretty close fight, mind you). Superman'd rush in, get some good hits in (while taking a few good hits), and Thor goes down fighting like the champ he is. If morals are off, Superman's down. Thor has the magic, and the energy-draining capabilities to severely injure, or even kill Superman if need be. My only concern on Thor's behalf though, is if he's quick enough to react to Superman at his top speed as he blitzes in. Thor's durable, but is he quick enough?

You wouldn't happen to have any scans or examples of when he's done the energy-sucking thing, do you? This is the first time I'm hearing about this ability, and I'm fascinated.

Understood about the Binary thing.

And no, it would never, lol. It'd be awesome as hell, but I doubt that they'd ever do a vs issue like that, and even if they did, I don't think it'd sell too well, in my opinion.

I have 0 scans in my virtual wallet, but have seen scans of this feat on comicvine before and elsewhere.

I googled "Thor energy drain" and here is just the first result and the first comicvine result, but yes 'tis legit

http://www.killermovies.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-530411-hal-and-kyle-vs-thor-and-beta-ray.html

As for Thor's speed, as I said I don't have scans because I'm lazy and everyone's already done it basically.

Just taken from this thread, which to my pleasure I find backs up a number of my points:http://www.comicvine.com/thor/29-2268/respect-thor/92-658257/?

Superhuman Speed: Thor can move at extreme speeds. Thor can fly to the sun in a matter of minutes. Thor was even able to strike down a moving Quicksilver and has claimed to have fought foes faster than him. He can throw Mjolnir at the speed of light and also swing Mjolnir at twice the speed of light. It has been established that the speed of Thor’s hammer transcends both Time & Space. In addition, Thor can appear anywhere across the Universe or other dimensions in just seconds . Thor could visually detect objects that move at fantastic speeds (this happened when Thor was the target of artillery fire and when he saw the speedy Hermes). once stated that Thor is as fast as the lightning he commands.

Flight: Thor is capable of hurling Mjolnir with great force and, by holding onto the leather thong, is capable of flying through the air at tremendous speeds. While in an Earth-like atmosphere, Thor generally flies at roughly the Speed of Sound, roughly 770 miles per hour. Thor can fly so fast that he is invisible to the naked eye. He has been clocked flying at three times the speed of light,and is capable of achieving speeds far greater than that. He can use the winds to hover and has shown the ability to fly without the aid of Mjolnir.

Energy Sensing: Mjolnir can detect practically all types of energy.It reacts particularly strongly to evil psychic energy. and can also track down the energy patern of someone in hiding.Mjolnir can also detect any Asgardians aura by their electrons discharge.

Energy Absorption and Redirection: Thor is able to use Mjolnir to absorb any energy blasts directed towards him as means of attack. Once the energy is absorbed, Thor can redirect it back amplified many times over towards the source and/or use it as a weapon of his own. Thor has used Mjolnir to reflect the vast and hazardous amounts of energy being emitted by the biological weapon implanted within the Wasp's body by the Skrulls back at her while all of Earth's other super humans were helpless. Thor used Mjolnir to absorb Ultron's entire energy source, the Silver Surfer's Power Cosmic, -Walker's Cosmic Tempest, radio active energy magnetism such as Magneto's personal magnetic field and a portion of the Pangoria's planetary magnetic field. Mjolnir's ability to absorb energy is so powerful he managed to absorb, contain and redirect the entire energy of the Null Bomb, which was powerful enough to destroy the entire galaxy, absorb mystical energies, such as Pluto's mystic flame, He was even able to absorb a portion of the mystical energies from every god patheon on Earth, and absorbed the electromagnetic energies of the Celestial Mother-ship.

Here's another thread redirected from that one, possibly a better one, Iunno: http://www.comicvine.com/thor/29-2268/best-scansfeats-of-current-thor/92-593127/#100

@Hksaru: Very cool, and much appreciated.

: What do you think about the whole solar energy absorption issue?

I'm thinking about it, and I just can't come up with a fair match of Avengers characters who can stand up to the JLA.

So, to put my tired brain to rest, I'll leave it to you guys to help me.

Which Avengers members can combat the following JLA members in a fair fight?

  • Superman
  • Batman
  • Wonder Woman
  • Green Lantern (Jordan)
  • Flash (Allen)
  • Aquaman
  • Martian Manhunter

- Sentry(as stated before) ideally fights Superman or Flash

- Black Panther ideally fights Batman

- Ms Marvel ideally fights Wonder Woman

- Thor ideally fights Green Lantern

- Prince Namor(As stated before) ideally fights Aquaman

- The Vision(As stated before) ideally fights MM

Flash is the real problem...(i'm assuming this is New-52).

But I feel Sentry/Thor/Vision can take care of him.

@Hksaru: You actually think Thor can absorb Superman's solar energy? That's an outlandish tactic. Superman isn't a pure being of energy, he stores solar energy in his cells for his powers. I highly doubt that such a tactic would work @Gambit1024: unless Hksaru has the scans to prove otherwise? And even in spite of this, Thor is not a very clever fighter. His main tactics consist of throwing his hammer, hitting people with his hammer with the odd lightning thrown in as well. He hardly uses Mjolnir's vast array of abilities unless it is required as a plot device. But I'd be interested to see if this far out claim can be substantiated.

Well at least the claim has truth to it. However those are only two instances of energy absorption compared to multiple times of him throwing his hammer at foes. Thor hasn't used this tactic all that often. Why doesn't he use it on Thanos, Galactus, The Absorbing Man or other foes more often? Before you mention it, he only used the absorb and redirect attack on Glory because it was a last resort seeing how he was desparately outclassed and was possibly amped by TOAA in doing so. And TOAA won't help Thor out against Superman in a standard fight even though Thor is majorly outclassed.

Another thing. What types of energy can Mjolnir absorb? Thor hasn't used it to absorb the energy source powering Iron Man's armour nor did he absorb Sentry's power of a million exploding suns when he fought Bob during Siege. Besides even if Thor actually thinks to use this tactic, Superman is still too fast to be tagged by it. So all in all, even though it might be Thor's best chance of winning, it's still a slim one at that given the odds stacked against him and what we know about Thor's choices of combatting his foes.

The what now?

@Lvenger: If Thor couldn't absorb the solar energy from Superman, do you think Binary would?

@Billy Batson: Maybe, but this ain't a battle :P

Well it doesn't look like the Avengers are having burgers again.
