    Default Hickman Avengers vs. the Greek Pantheon

    The Hickman Avengers battle the Greek Pantheon in the usual Khazan Arena. For purposes of this discussion, the Greek Pantheon consists of the following deities:

    Zeus
    Hera
    Apollo
    Athena
    Poseidon
    Demeter
    Ares
    Aphrodite
    Hermes
    Artemis
    Hephaestus
    Dionysius
    Pluto

    Given that some of these Gods may be lacking in feats in the Marvel Universe, make these deities all DC/Marvel composites.

    Who wins?

    Well.. It's Zeus.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Stomp, big time.

    Zeus (though lighter on feats) has always been presented as Odin's equal and has done shit like completely ignoring the combined assault of Thor, Monica Rambeau, Namor and She-Hulk, plus laying down a vicious beatdown on the Hulk etc

    Well, he didn't 'ignore' Monica, and Thor noted some nonsense about his never having been hit so hard or somesuch bilge, but her best shot certainly didn't put him down.

    Can Zeus shrug off a blast from Starbrand? What about a blitz by Hyperion?

    IIRC, Zeus fought Thor for .. a considerable span of months and the fight ended with Zeus no worse for wear or otherwise injured in any way shape or form (pretty sure he wasn't trying, otherwise that's some seriously iffy stuff for Thor, like SMvFL iffy). He'll be just fine here, even if we just grant him "I hit the Hulk so hard I literally overloaded his healing factor" strength.

    That sounds familiar. Was that Thor Annual #8?

    Somehow I was under the impression that Odin was somewhat more powerful than the other SkyFathers. Didn't he have a special role involving their contingency plan against the Celestials?

    Yeah, he didn't want to hurt Thor, thus didn't even try.
    While he was completely unfazed at the end, Thor was pretty much on his knees and out of power.

    Odin has better feats, and was the dude who tried to create Tenga Toppen Destroyer Lagann against the Celestials. Which ... ended horribly for him, and got every Asgardian save a few murdered, but HEY, points for the attempt.

    He wasn't that bad off, IIRC(?) but was definitely like "bro, it's been something like 9 months. Can we stop?" Even Cthulhu would need a nap after 9 months of non-stop fighting.
