Only if that character had kryptonite in a comic/movie (superman vs batman). Kryptonite wouldn't be readily available in a metropolis street however.

Edit: If a character would be able to conjure or otherwise create kryptonite, that would also be fair game.

Here's one: Mad Jim Jaspers. GG everybody.

I mean you could add in the One-Above-All but that's just cheating.

The Thing and The Human Torch?

What about another one down the road where you pit teams against eachother.

Justice Society vs The Avengers
Legion of Superheroes vs X-Men

The problem is that you have some Marvel villains and characters who can literally wave their hand and eliminate the universe, who generally end up getting beaten by sheer luck, or trickery, or by changing their mind about killing everyone. Superman is a very strong alien, but he cannot, for example, kill death itself, and then re-create it because the universe where no one dies is boring.

If you're going for pure power level, you have to add all the "Omega" level mutants. Many of their powers seem innocuous or even silly, but when you break them down, they have the abilities to transform time and/or space.

Familiar omega level mutants include:

Iceman: Has the ability to manipulate all temperature, which could theoretically stop all atomic motion.

Nathan Summers/Cable: Theoretically near unlimited telepathic and telekenetic powers.

Jean Grey: Theoretically near unlimited telepathic and telekenetic powers.

Legion: Can create new personalities, and each one has a new power.

Storm: Can manipulate the atmosphere.That power has other applications.

Magneto: Already mentioned.

Deadpool: Could theoretically heal from any wound. Has the ability to break the fourth wall.


Edit:

From the DC Side:

The Flash: Can run fast enough to turn back time.

Martian Manhunter: Arguably has more powers than Superman.

Shazam: Can go toe to toe with and has bested Superman. Also has some magic.

Black Adam: Can beat Shazam.

Darkseid: Typically takes all of the Justice League to stop him.

Doomsday: Killed Superman.

Then you've got others like Dr. Manhattan, Dr. Fate, the Spector, Captain Atom, etc...

You have powers that are more physical based and others that are more magic/cosmic based. Pitting physical based powers against supernatural ones is never going to work.

And yet we will still vote for who will win in a poll and all will be fine.

Ebony Maw

The scene described plays out in Infinity War. And Maw casually whoops them.

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.
I think someone plays Marvel Contest of Champions...

Nope. I did go down an insomnia-prompted youtube rabbit hole one time, though. Never getting that time back...

Some of the entrants are way overpowered among others like Galactus, Phoenix, Apoc, Surfer and Strange

And this is a big factor too for guys like Batman and Ironman, is there prep time for this 1v1 fight? or do they run into this fight without prior knowledge who they're facing?

So what's the full list of overpowered heroes? I'm not the biggest comic book nerd, but for the sake of keeping the poll entertaining I'll remove those that can destroy planets/universes.
