You do realize that after this episode all the x-men help train a humbled Cyclops how to fight without his visor? I lack the scan, but its within X-Nation.
That said, Batman should still easily win hand to hand combat, despite Cyclops undeniable skill... but I am going to give this win to Cyclops for one key reason--the setting is, and I quote, "unpopulated." That means there is nothing stopping Cyclops from unleashing a full out optic blast, and there is no way Batman can hope to avoid or withstand this blast without prep time
I'm a marvel guy, and as such I do not know that much about Orion. But here's what I do know: Rulk and Thor will not work together as a team. Thor's arrogance and sense of superiority will directly clash with Rulk's giant rage monster thing... So now we have Thor and Rulk with uncoordinated attacks on Orion and the Surfer. On the other hand, the Surfer has always shown himself to be a team player (most obvious example of this would be the Infinity Gauntlet Saga).
my scenario: Thor flies at Surfer, boasting about his Asgardian Might, and the Surfer kicks Thor's butt (as a result of both the Surfer's superior powers and the fact that Thor was not expecting such a formidable adversary) while Orion keeps Rulk occupied. Orion and Surfer use a combo attack to finish off Thor, and with the god down the two will be able to handle Rulk.
for those of you who do not believe that the Silver Surfer is mightier than Thor (see proof in scans below):
Surfer's power cosmic allows him to travel faster than Thor. Surfer kicked Beta Ray bill's butt on his own, and Beta Ray Bill has beaten Thor (yes the circumstances were rigged in Bill's favor, but regardless you must agree that Bill and Thor are at least equals). Surfer's power cosmic also allows him to control matter at an atomic scale, giving him further capabilities that Thor could only dream of having.
the bottom line: as long as Orion can hold off Rulk for 5 minutes, Team 1 is gonna win this one based on the might of the Silver Surfer alone
I say team 2... superman kills marvel; but beta ray bill kills Thor. then beta ray bill kills Supes.
So first off--Thor and Beta Ray Bill are much stronger than Superman and Captain Marvel. Thor and BBR have raised Asgard after Ragnook, saving the heavenly realm from destruction. Superman has moved earth, but that was only with the help of Green Lantern... and Captain Marvel is cool and all, but let's be honest here--he is not even in the same class as these 3 power houses' league. So BBR can kill Supes if he only had to fight Supes.
That being said, the most important fight here is Beta Ray Bill vs. Thor. BBR wins as he has done it before (yes, the odds were stacked in Bill's favor that time... but Bill has better discipline and power than Thor (see scan below where BBR one-shots Fenris during Ragnook, while Thor was so tired fighting Fenris that he could barely stand) so I bet BBR could kill Thor again).
So we know BBR will kill Thor given enough time, and will then also be able to kill Supes. That said, BBR gets destroyed if Supes and Thor can attack him simultaneously. So the real question here is can Captain Marvel hold off Supes long enough to let BBR kill Thor. I think the answer is yes, as the fight in the new 52 between Supes and Marvel was long enough to let BBR kill Thor...
So team two wins, and everyone is dead except BBR.
"incapacitation, knockout, or death all count as elimination"
Okay here's my take on this one--both Green Arrow and Black Widow excel in hand to hand combat, with BW being maybe little more agile and GA perhaps the stronger of the two. That said, this will not be a fist fight--this will be an arrow vs. gun battle. Arrow is far more accurate than Widow, but widow's agility will be more useful in this type of battle... so I would have to say that both are very equally matched.
That said, I am going with Black Widow on this one. To quote Professor X "a good blaster at your side is a lot more effective than a hokey religion and a spear." Likewise, Widow's guns are better than GA's arrows. I believe Black Widow to be the far more ruthless of the two, and when it comes down to it a gun is still a heck of a lot more powerful than a bow. Both will be unable to get a headshot on their skilled adversary, and as such Widow's bullets will do far more damage than GA's arrows. Black Widow gets hit with a non-lethal arrow as she managed to slightly dodge it, and GA takes a stream of bullets to a non-vital body part. GA bleeds out first, and Widow wins with a kill 8/10 times
