    How does he do?
    He trivially kills - or marries them to gorillas - every single one except Sentry.

    He's too fast for all of them and capable of hurting them. But he can't put Sentry down for keeps - and Sentry can do that to PC Supes.

    ...he still marries the Sentry to a gorilla, dude.
    Why are we here?

    Let's be real, depending on his given state of sanity at the time, the Sentry probably shows up to the fight with a gorilla, because he heard Superman was the pope and was looking for someone to marry him to his new bride.

    Anyway, if you take seriously the notion of the Sentry's last powerup placing him considerably beyond even someone that had been given his own powers (I'm personally still a bit dubious on it, but it's the very last thing we've seen of the guy I suppose), he's fine. Without that there is still something of the issue of being able to lastingly put the Sentry down.

    Everyone else gets wrecked.

    considering bob's mental state, he would probably welcome a nice gorilla wife to listen to his problems and cook for him.

    Why couldn't Bob cook for his gorilla wife? It might help his mental state.

    I'm still not entirely convinced Sentry's wife wasn't just a construct generated by his subconscious, the same way the Void was, so I don't even want to know what his gorilla wife would be like.

    Look, it's not Pope Superman's job to do anything but marry people and gorillas, how the marriage goes from there is the couple's problem.

    Its now canon that Bob has actual cooking experience in a diner btw.

    Based on my years of research, Bob's "Love Language" is Words of Affirmation. The Gorilla, having no real grasp of verbal English, has a big challenge ahead of it. I wish the best for them.

    He's been fought off by Hulk for an extended period of time as recently as Marvel Knight 20th #6.

    Of course, that's the same series where Fisk overpowered Doom and then got KO'd in one hit by Daredevil, so it might be objectively worthless as evidence.

    This is a surprisingly wholesome thread.

    And Desert Torturer Pope Superman will not stand for that.

    Unless Bobby boy can fly across the universe in minutes or less and he can drag a chain of planets across the universe, Bobby has no chance. Supes hits him a million times with a power that can punch through black holes or reality before Bobby even knows he's there.

    Which doesn't put Bob down for keeps. Molecule Man can't put Bob down for keeps. Supes sure as hell isn't doing it.
