I am biased against the classic DC characters. They are so generic and boring for the most part.

Rick Sanchez probably wouldn't want to be lumped in as a superhero, but I voted for him anyway.

I was keeping quiet about my boy, Dr. Doom, cause I know how badass he is. Because of the MCU, the masses don't know much about Dr. Doom, how strong he is and how much trouble he causes for all the top heroes in Marvel

If there ever was a Marvel version of Batman, it would be Dr. Doom. The guy does nothing else in his spare time than to plot, prepare and how dedicated he is in self improving himself. Infact, I think Dr. Doom has the edge over Batman in terms of resourcefulness. Batman limits himself to technology but Doom uses technology, magic and anything else that he comes across

As far as his abilities go:

Technology. Dr. Victor von Doom is skilled scientist and technician, rivaling Iron Man himself. The man has flying suits, autonomous robots, weapons of mass destruction, you name it. Tony Stark often doesn’t have enough firepower to protect Avengers tower. Doom? Has enough to protect a small country.

Magic. When science is not enough to do the job, both Tony Stark and Reed Richards surrender. Doom does not. He’s extremely experienced and skilled in mystical arts as well, almost at the level of Stephen Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme of our world . Let that thought sink in for a moment.

Politics. Doom is one of the few super-powered characters, who’s recognized and respected as leaders of their respective countries, even if not everyone likes it. Thus, he has another set of strings to pull, on a completely different level, that most superheroes or villains can only hope for. Also, his Diplomatic Immunity is incredibly helpful during endless fights with so-called “good guys”; and whenever someone enters Latveria to disrupt his “evil plans”, he can soundfully show them at the door.

Smarts. Not only Victor is one of the most resourceful characters in the setting, he’s also probably the most creative. His plans are always in play, no matter if he tries to destroy his mortal enemies or save his Latverian people (and probably the entire planet Earth along the way) from some cosmic-level threat. Doom is one of the greatest masterminds and chessmasters of fiction.

Balls. I don’t know how to put that in any other way. Despite everything we’ve seen above, one of his most defining traits is being just a normal man. He wasn’t struck by cosmic rays, chosen to be an avatar of some deity or bitten by radioactive doomguy. Everything he has, he got on his own, through pure determination and devotion. His iron will is strong enough to ignore supernatural mind-control of Purple Man and alike. His arrogance is so unlimited, that he can challenge gods - and then soundly defeat them to throw their carcasses under his throne.

Misc Doom has one of the strongest willpower in Marvel. He's able to resist mind control. An ability he's learned from an alien race, He can also swap bodies with other people, Just by looking into someone's eyes. He's done this on multiple occasions in fights. Through magic, he can summon creatures to fight for him. He can also teleport like Dr. Strange

so TL;DR:

-Genius-level intellect.

-Technopathy.

-Energy absorption and projection, mind transference, and demonic summoning via dark mysticism and sorcery.

-Armor grants: Superhuman strength and durability. Gauntlet lasers and force blasts. Flight via rocket boots. Forcefield generation. ...

-Diplomatic immunity.

As for the fight with Wonder Woman, Dr. Doom has fought stronger beings than WW and won. With prep time, it's a cake walk for Doom:

If this were actually a tournament, it wouldn't even get to the point where Doom would actually fight anyone. He'd simply kill PaperBagger'14, usurp his role as tournament master, then lock everyone else away in an alternative dimension and let Richards figure it out.

Rick Sanchez would try that too, but he'd peace out once he found out Doom was doing the same thing, he doesn't want any of that heat.

The hulk is winning in all scenarios though.

I think storm beats superman.

Continuous lightning can stun superman and keep him contained at at distance so at best it’s a stalemate.

He would locate her based on her heartbeat and x-ray vision, shoot her with his lazer eyes killing her before she even recognizes he is there.

Trying to hit him with lightning doesn't work when he can outrun it. If Superman is willing to actually kill, there's very few who can stand up to him on this list and Storm is definitely not one.

If it's any Prime I want, then Hulk is done for sure. We'd do Bayverse Prime after merging with Jetfire giving Prime flight and about as much, if not more firepower than a Hulkbuster suit.

Could also do G1 Cartoon Prime. Give him an Electrum coating and send him to battle. Prime is on a time limit before the Electrum wears off, but he's indestructible in the mean time.

Unless it's Banner Hulk or Grey Hulk, I think he's just outsmarted and out gunned.

Oh no way Wonder Woman would take out Dr. Doom. Dr. Doom can't even beat the Fantastic Four while Wonder Woman is busy taking on threats like Darkseid or Ares. Wonder Woman is part God as her dad is Zeus and she was a trained Amazonian warrior since when she was a child. Doom is just a human in a suite which won't hold up to a sword forged by Hephaestus. Diana also doesn't hold back, unlike other heros she has no problem killing and has snaped villians necks without a moments hesitation. When Batman came up with a contingency plan to take down the JL do you know what his plan was for Wonder Woman? Nothing, because Wonder Woman is like Superman but with no kryptonite.

(PS I really like Doom and can't wait to see him make his debut in the MCU )

Superman isn’t willing to kill though it’s one of his week messed

Also he can’t out run lighting at least on earth.

It races with the flash he’s quoted as traveling 2000 miles/ second, he loses these races with the Flash. This is 3.2 million m/s which is about 1% of the speed of light. Lightning in the Earths atmosphere travels at about 1/3rd the speed of light

Of course it’s the most powerful Hulks if it’s the most powerful prime. His power is essentially only limited by how angry you make him. I agree that intelligence is a week point for him.

I was under the impression that the most powerful versions of characters (World War Hulk, Rune King Thor, God Emperor Doom, Infinity Thanos etc)... were off limits. Otherwise you get stuff like this.

Well I did seek clarification on that. I don't think it matters much in this matchup because even if it's incapacitation, it's still over for Storm.

He's not racing the lightning, he's racing Storm hitting him with lightning. Before she even conjures the clouds, she's already dead if Superman is willing to kill. There's really no reason Storm should even ever be able to see Superman let alone be able to aim the lightning at him.

If she already has prepared the clouds, all he has to do is hide in any of the hundreds of buildings on the street, and he's protected from the storm. But with his x-ray vision and super-sensitive hearing he'll never lose where Storm is and a quick laser vision shot is all it would take to take her down.

If there was one Achilles heel for Batman, it's magic. He's a man of science so he never considers magic in his toolkit or any of his preparation. When #### hits the fan involving magic, like in Justice League Dark, his first instinct was "Are we talking about Magic? Call John Constantine... and Zatanna!". Yup, calling on other heroes with a background in Magic cause Batman doesnt know squat.

So this is the biggest difference in Batman and Dr. Doom coming up with contingencies, is that Dr. Doom incorporates magic in his plans where Batman is limited to his tech. Not only that but Dr. Doom is smarter than Batman. So where Batman has failed to come up with a counter to Wonder woman, Dr. Doom will succeed.

Doom isnt "just a guy in a suit". You could easily just dismiss the same notion about Iron man and Batman. If you werent aware, Doom's suit is actually infused with magic when forged by Tibetan Monks. It has resisted against full strength blows from the Hulk and Blasts from Thanos with his Infinity gems. It'll hold up to WW's sword.

As for facing gods, Doom has done it and won. Here's his take:

Jean Grey vs Captain Marvel is the most interesting match up in this round.

Jean Greys mind Control powers still easily take over Captain Marvel.

We agreed at the start of this poll that Jean Grey would not be the Phoenix in this match up because she was over powered. However I think it’s important to note that Jean Grey without Phoenix powers forced the Phoenix to resurrect her from the dead against the Phoenix’s will.

So Jean Grey has already controlled and beaten someone 1 v 1 that we deemed too powerful to conclude in this bracket.

Therefore Jean Grey mind controls Captain Marvel and wins easily.
