View Full Version : If the Justice League got in a fight...

Lets say, The Justice League of America got in a fight (Batman, Superman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Hawkman, and Green Lantern). Who would win? This is a sudden fight, so everyone just has their normal equipment. To be fair, let's try not to bring attention to Batman's odd endless belt of equipment (shark repellent, kryptonite, etc.). He just has grappling hooks, batarangs, smoke bomb things, maybe a bat-taser, the usual. Green Lantern's ring is fully charged for the day, and Aquaman can breath air, if yo didn't already know.

Remember: This is the Debate forum. If you have an opinion of who would win, say why you think so.

Personally, I think it's a fight between Green Lantern, The Flash, and Martian Manhunter. Green Lantern would probably try to get Manhunter or Flash, but the Manhunter could de-materialize and Flash could dodge whatever Green Lantern did, thus wearing out his ring. I wouldn't know what would happen after that.

I would say the Flash.. just cause he could evade the fight for the whole time and then have to fight the tired survivor. Really.

I'm pretty sure that Superman would win due to the fact that no one has kryptonite readily on them and without that Superman is basically invincible, invunerable; has super strenght, eye lasers and some sort of cold breath and super speed. In fact I'm 100% positive he'd win unless the one of the Justice Leaguers decided to take a trip to Superman's home planet to retrieve some kryptonite.

Yeah unless ther's some krytonite, Superman wins.

You all seem to be forgetting that the Green Lantern's ring can simulate kryptonite radiation, thereby bringing Superman to his knees. He can compartmentalize the battlefield (be it the Justice Hall or anywhere else), thereby limiting the Flash's evasive maneuvers, and can surround himself in a force-field, protecting himself from anything Batman or Robin could muster.

I think The Flash would win because I remember reading an issue where The Flash runs sooooo fast that he actually breaks the dimensional barrier and runs into another dimension and I'm sure if he's able to do that he's probably able to run fast enough to stop time or at least slow time down enough to be able to do all sorts of crazy shit to them.

Thats stupid. The Green Lantern would just create a small, eclosed area, that emulates the radiation of kryptonite, and pick off all the other members one by one.

I think we're all forgetting some facts here. Wonder Woman has huge knockers and a vagina. She would slowly just make them fight each other one by one and then, when Superman is the victor, snap his dick off in her vagina. Superman would become paralyzed because getting your dick ripped off hurts a lot, thus making Wonder Woman the victor.

11-23-2007, 7:43 PM
Technically, the Flash would be invulnerable due to his ability to dodge anything. And if he can't dodge it, he can vibrate his body fast enough to enable objects to actually pass through him.

That's more or less the full extent of his power, though. I think we need to realize that these heroes may or may not be using every last ounce of strength they have. If we went by that, Green Lantern automatically wins because:


time travel
faster-than-light speed
invisiblity
barrier shield
simulated kryptonite

I mean, time travel alone could pretty much guarantee you a victory.

Murder of The Rain Crow
11-23-2007, 11:43 PM
I think probably the Flash. YOU CANNOT DEFEAT WHAT CANNOT BE SEEN! MUWAHAHAHAHA!!! (And by that I mean he's fast, not invisible).
I think batman would get his arse kicked before anyone elses coz he's not even a real super-hero. That is to say, he has no powers, so he's like a blonde sibling in a dark-haired family (to bring attention to my sister LOL). It really peeves me off that Batman is considered a superhero... he's just a hero with rope and stuff... like someone rescuing a dog from a canal...

11-24-2007, 10:19 AM
I would have to say the Green Lantern, that ring sounds pretty badass. If he couldn't win that fight using the ring, he could just time travel back to the night before or something and kill them all in their sleep.

Superman. He only has one weakness, and since no-one can shit krypotonite on demand, the fact that he's stronger than anyone else, doesn't need oxygen, is perhaps just as fast as flash and can fly will take it for him. Sure, Green Lantern and the Martian Mnhunter may present problems, but if the green lantern is simulating kryptonite he can't do anything else, and in that moment of weakness would probably be taken out by one of the other fighters. and for martian boy, it all come down to who hits who first. If the Martian can use his freaky mind powers, there goes the Man of Steel. However, if Superman smacks the martian, there's a nice bit of alien soup going down. It's Superman for me.

11-24-2007, 2:47 PM
The Justice League is the absolute bargain bin of superheroes anyway. Half of them can just do anything. There's no definitive answer to who would win, because I'm sure whoever found themselves to be losing would just invent a new power that'd give them the upper hand and add that to the allready oversized list. The fight would go on and on with nobody actually dieing except probably a few thousand civilian spectators. And Robin.

Assuming he didn't stay at home like a bitch.

spaj
11-24-2007, 4:43 PM
It would end up being a fight between Wonder Woman and Superman.

You see, people, all the other heroes don't have the sheer strength, stamina, or supernatural 'blessing' that Wonder Woman and Superman have. Essentially the two would be the last two standing, unable to kill each other.

Batman and Robin would definitely die within seconds -- no question about it. Later on would be Martian, Green Lantern, Hawkman and most likely the Flash.

In fact I'm 100% positive he'd win unless the one of the Justice Leaguers decided to take a trip to Superman's home planet to retrieve some kryptonite.

Figure this. It is known that people on Earth have Kryptonite. Lex Luthor for example, happens to have some. So what is to stop The Flash from running all around the world to go grab some, and then to evade blows, etc.

I figure, Superman would beat the rest of them, maybe having some trouble with Martian Manhunter, but in the end would be victorious. Then bam, in comes The Flash, stolen Kryptonite in tow, and now we got a dead Superman.

11-25-2007, 11:43 AM
I would've said Superman at first but after figuring out that the Green Lantern can simulate kryptonite thats a dead givaway that he can kick everybody's ass.
Besides, he can just go back to the past and kill them off one by one when nobody is suspecting anything, if that really is a power of his.

Well if Superman is out because of the imitation Kryptonite, then I don't see why Wonder Woman isn't the obvious victor.

She's able to do, seriously, everything those other guys can do, including fast enough to render herself invincible to magical and nonmagical attacks.
The Flash is fast, but ultimatley, has no weapons at his disposal. Wonder Woman has a stupid Lasso of Truth that also protects her with it's power.

With no weaknesses and no vulnerability, I'm thinking Wonder Woman is our winner.

Mr. Owl
12-20-2007, 10:10 AM
To make it politically correct, they simply took another Hawk themed hero who just happened to be a woman and made her one of the stars. Same thing happened with John Stewart as GL, him being black made it politically correct rather than using Hal Jordan and making him way more bad ass.

iGavin
01-02-2008, 12:58 PM
I think Wonder Woman would just entice all the men (except Robin if you get my drift LOL) and then, when she has them seduced, finish them off, then use her... Lasoo of Truth, is it? to get Robin to come out of the closet, and ultimately, due to the crushing realisation and shock of the thing, kill himself.

At first I was going to say Superman easy. But after what G_R_B posted i got to go with Green Lantern. He can make kryptonite rays which make superman useless and go back in time! Plus the Plasma beams own all. Also who the hell put Robin into the justice League. He has no super powers and is pretty much a normal human with a kick ass friend.

BUTT SLUT
01-11-2008, 8:49 PM
I'm going to say superman, Green Lantern is going to pose a threat. But Superman is fast enough to avoid a ray thing form his ring. "Hmm, I might go back in time so that I can *LASER*", and then he's dead. The rest of them shouldn't pose too much of a threat, as the kryptonite isn't in play.

PYRO73
01-13-2008, 10:46 AM
it would be the flash i think cause he could take out most of them easily but green lantern, superman, martian manhunter and batman would be hardest to beat. against GL he could hit his forcefield over and over til the ring gives out then knock out GL. He could then steal kryptonite from batman or run somewhere and find some and weaken superman then beat him. MM is very strong but has low stamina so if the flash gets some early strong hits then MM would be done. Batman would probablyhave some random gadget to stop the flash but the flash could speed past it or speed wriggle out of it

first of i would like to say chuck norris would beat all of them at once with one round house kick but since he isnt on the list it would have to be the green lantern cause of his powers witch are just as powerfull as his will
his ring basicaly gives him the power to imagine how powerfull he is and he becomes that powerfull he can go and grab a chunk of kriptonite like shove it in supermans mouth before anyone knew what happend
also if it where not for him superman would not be alive cause he was the person that put him into suspended animation in the orbit of a yellow sun to help him combat kriptonite poinsoning Via-green lantern ring

The Batman. His only superpowers are normality and brilliance. This unexceptional billionaire uses what nature provided, and what man created to become an unstoppable force. Superman? Kryptonite. Flash? Biological weapons. Batman has a weapon capable of downing each opponent, regardless of their super power, for every super power has a super weakness and batman has neither.

I honestly think he could win. He'd just go dive into the deepest crack in the deepest ocean he could find and hide there 'til all the fightings done. Someone gets the balls to try and go after him underwater? Launch an army of sharks/squids/whales/sting rays or whatever the fuck and then swim away and find a new crevice to hide in.

He'd outlast all the others.

Superman/M.M. can pick off all the others with ease, and so when it is just one of them and Aquaman, than the could just stay on land. He cannot go on land.

I think it's about lightspeed, apparently if you pass it you can travel back in time or something like that.

Also, there was something I read before. In one chapter The Flash ran into a city and evacuated it in half a second, just before a bomb hit. The comic said he was going 300,000 miles an hour, but some guy used hit mathematical queerness to work it out. Apparently he was going something like 4 million times the speed of light.

EDIT: Okay, I was waaaaay off. 13 Trillion times the motherfucking speed of light.

You piss him off, and BAM your great great grandfather is suddenly sterile as The Flash punches every single sperm at lightspeed giving him infinite mass.

Source (http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2009/02/15/a-year-of-cool-comic-book-moments-day-46/) and quote:
Since people act like it’s a nitpick or that this is just a matter of moving a decimal place over just one place, let me spell out how mindboggingly ridiculous this feat is even by superhero standards.

532,000 people. Kelly says they were transported one at a time, sometimes two. Each person rescued requires two 35 miles trips to be run: one trip into the city to fetch them, another trip to transport them out of the city to safety. So 500,000 people equals at least 1 million 35-mile trips, meaning the Flash ran a combined 35 million miles AT LEAST to save those people. And he ran that 35 million miles in .0001 MICROSECONDS. Not .0001 seconds, .0001 MICROseconds. Keep in mind that a microsecond is 1-MILLIONTH OF A SECOND.

If you expand the math to see how far the Flash would have run going at that speed in one second, you come up with 3 QUINTILLION, 700 QUADRILLION MILES PER SECOND. Now what’s the speed of light? ONLY 185 THOUSAND MILES PER SECOND. So basically, Kelly has him running at 20 TRILLION TIMES THE SPEED OF LIGHT with each human being, yet the captions say that he is only running NEAR light speed. That’s not a minor nitpick or a small miscalculation, it’s astoundingly bad math and horrible science even by comic book standards.

This is why you keep pseudoscience a little vague so that suspension of disbelief is easy for the reader, or if you can’t even handle that, you make up fake science altogether like Stan Lee did with his “unstable molecules” and “vita rays.” But if a writer is going to take upon himself the challenge of throwing out real numbers and real science in order to give a scene more gravitas, he is willingly opening himself up to valid criticism if he gets it outrageously wrong.

Truly,I beleive that GL would win. I mean, the kryptonite radiation would wipe out superman. And the fact that when the original GL lost his mind, it took the Justice league and more to wipe him out. So therefore, he could kick all their asses

I think it's about lightspeed, apparently if you pass it you can travel back in time or something like that.

Also, there was something I read before. In one chapter The Flash ran into a city and evacuated it in half a second, just before a bomb hit. The comic said he was going 300,000 miles an hour, but some guy used hit mathematical queerness to work it out. Apparently he was going something like 4 million times the speed of light.

EDIT: Okay, I was waaaaay off. 13 Trillion times the motherfucking speed of light.

You piss him off, and BAM your great great grandfather is suddenly sterile as The Flash punches every single sperm at lightspeed giving him infinite mass.

first of i would like to say chuck norris would beat all of them at once with one round house kick but since he isnt on the list it would have to be the green lantern cause of his powers witch are just as powerfull as his will
his ring basicaly gives him the power to imagine how powerfull he is and he becomes that powerfull he can go and grab a chunk of kriptonite like shove it in supermans mouth before anyone knew what happend
also if it where not for him superman would not be alive cause he was the person that put him into suspended animation in the orbit of a yellow sun to help him combat kriptonite poinsoning Via-green lantern ring

Reason: Wow a year old bump for a crappy Chuck Norris joke??

Chuck Norris was not there.
I think the green lantern,All of the powers he has,mentioned in this thread are enough to even kill superman.

Yes, but can they stop something that moves at 20 trillion times the speed of light?

Superman gets my vote, mostly because he trumps everybody except lantern. If it were spur of the moment and lantern and Sman weren't first to fight, he wouldn't have the energy to put superman down after. Whoever starts out fighting superman is boned.

But say Batman did have kryptonite on him, I think it would change the entire fight. And I'm pretty sure he does keep a small piece on him at all times.
