Except for Doctor Doom and Deadpool, according to Wikipedia.

Why would it matter? When two fictional beings clash, the winner is whoever the writer decide, by whatever means the writer thinks would make for a good story. So unless it is impossible for one side to win in a way that result in an interesting story (which is quite unlikely to happen), both side can reasonably win, depending on the choice of the author, and it is not a problem. The only question that matters is : is the story good?

So... Is this an instance of "we have X character. Ahe veat up Y Z and A, dontchaknow"?
Because then we don't really get to use that as an assesement of whether you can add in author sponsorship. That'd more be a case of "my character is just supposed to ve better".

I bring it up because non-protagonists generally lose by default. In our "vs" reality, there is no protagonist and no plot, just power vs power.

I really have no clue what you are talking about. Anyway, just in case, I'll reiterate my point: “which one would be stronger” discussions are ultimately very, very meaningless. We shouldn't take them seriously. At all. They don't make sense. Not with the way fictional universes works.

It's okay guys, we should stop all "versus" discussions entirely for all time, because theyvare totally meaningless!
But not as meaningless as discussing the origins of Space Marinea, because that is objectivley mor meaningful than the things we want to talk about.

By the way, Vulkan burned up on re-entry to a blackened skeleton. Superman flew through having a punch up with someone and then fell straight through a building and still didn't even bleed.
Superman could just fly through any of the Imperiums greatest warships causing critical damage with his eyes on full burst and cause uncontrollable destruction.
It's basically down to kryptonite. If Marines have none. They lose.

No that fine. As long as you don't pretend that there is ONE answer and that the other answers are wrong.

Kryptonite is not approved wargear for the codex astartes or militarium. The ordo xenos and inquisition would have you all excommunicated for heresy for even mentioning it.

These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.
