Superhero Bracket Poll V: The final matchup we were all expecting...?
EDIT: Bracket poll is up!
https://www.polltab.com/bracket-poll/dPK-ZBkMsH
Ok, here we go again! Rules and set up for this poll will mimic the beer poll but limited to 32 entrants, namely because I'm lazy and 64 took a bunch of time to set up.
The first few days will be nominations, followed by a top 4 seeding and finally a bracket.
For this poll, I want people to vote for a super hero or villain based on who would win in a 1v1 fight. The environment would remain static and give no super heroes any notable advantage or disadvantage. For the sake of simplicity, we'll say the location is a deserted street in a metropolis (as many comics are based out of such). Anything a comic book hero has possessed in a comic/movies is fair game (except a few trump card items like the infinity gauntlet on iron man) to be used as discussion.
All superheroes are aware of who is in the poll, but not who they are fighting in any given round.
As for the super heroes, I will once again use a heavy hand and include/exclude nominations as best as I can. Let's try and keep the heroes to the more marketed and widely known variety.
With that said, let's start the list!
Iron Man
Spider Man
Batman
Storm
Magneto
Wolverine
Hulk
Thor
Wonder Woman
Superman
Deadpool
Black Panther
Captain America
Silver Surfer
Dr Strange
Captain Marvel
Ant Man
Thanos (no infinity stones)
Apocalypse
Jean Grey/ Phoenix
Preacher
Galactus
Spawn
Stryfe
The Thing
Human Torch
Dr Doom
Squirrel Girl
Black Widow
Daredevil
The Punisher
Cyclops
Gambit
Lady Death
War Machine
Venom
Optimus Prime
He Man
Rick Sanchez

Wolverine, Hulk, and Thor are three that jump right to mind.

Thor kills everyone and it's not even close. Hulk makes him break a sweat though.
If you had Superman then he'd win this handily.

Wonder Woman, Superman, Supergirl, Power Girl, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Punisher, Deadpool. Colossus
Hm, some of these combos would end up with some really interesting seedings/matches.

Haha. I was thinking the same thing, and had to delete several names off my list, as the OP said "heros"...which got me thinking about a Villians one on one, too.

Many of Thor's powers are magic based, to which Superman is vulnerable.
At the end of the day, someone like Dr. Strange is going to win. He just opens up a portal to nothingness and puts people in there.

I'm assuming this is to determine the second most powerful hero and Squirrel Girl is just assumed to be the strongest.

Captain Marvel does a number on a lot of people.
Ant-Man would probably be surprisingly effective.

Anyway, if we're trying to include the ones who could hold their own, Sentry, Captain Marvel (Binary), Nova, Franklin Richards, Silver Surfer... add in Squirrel Girl just for fun.
I mean the obvious answer is the Beyonder but he's not a hero or even really a villain, per se.
EDIT: Oh well if Villains are allowed this is a bigger list. Start with Galactus, obviously Thanos and Apocalypse, Ego, Dormammu, Mephisto... probably lots more. Storm, Batman, Spider-Man and a bunch of others no longer even belong in the discussion.

If kryptonite allowed? If not, Superman wins easily.
