Urgh. Tough one.

Best I can say is that on Team DC you have people who give Batman a hard time with prep (Cain), people who give Batman a hard time period (Deathstroke), people capable of sneaking up Batman and Batgirl (Shiva, Cain), people who give Batman a hard time in Hand to Hand or outright murder him (a bunch of people on that list), and...

....one guy with a point-and-click enemy-eliminating weapon (Prommie).

Between all of the above, including Prommie's Ghost Key, I figure Team DC takes this after a really, really interesting sneak/snipe/stab war, with casualties on both sides.

Lack of equivalent stealth also hurts Team Marvel.

2) One on One Fights

Captain America vs Bronze Tiger

- Going to give this to Cap after one hell of a fight. Tiger can take it to Batman unarmed, and I would give this ~50/50 were Cap without equipment, but Cap has his shield, so he's taking a solid majority.

Winter Soldier vs Deathstroke

- Deathstroke. Just better, all around. I wouldn't give comic book Winter Soldier great odds against Batman or Captain America, and Slade should be able to beat either of them. Edit: Also Power Staff.

Falcon vs Prometheus

- Ghost Key, poof. Prommie snags a win, much to my disgust.

Black Widow vs Constantine Drakon

- Drakon. He's far, far faster than her. She might get the drop on him every now and then, I guess, due to having solid stealth, but he's not exactly a chooch in that area and if there's any kind of situation that crops up where he gets a glimpse of her, she's hosed.

Hawkeye vs Deadshot

- Don't really know enough about each of their stealths to say. If they're anywhere near par, Hawkeye has an advantage in having a whack of area affect weapons.

U.S.Agent vs Bane

- US Agent in an unholy beatdown. Post-Crisis Bane's losing streak continues. Killer Croc weeps in the stands.

Union Jack vs K.G.Beast

- No idea, really.

Mockingbird vs Lady Shiva

- Barring Mockingbird having picked up some SERIOUS speed and skill enhancements, Shiva ruins Mockingbird. Too skilled, too fast, hits too hard (plus pressure points), and has a body-read to boot. Also stealthy enough to pull a Batman-vanish on Batman himself (in the presence of Dick and Tim at the same time), and sneaks up on Cassandra Cain (who has, a couple of issues previous, sensed Batman's presence).

Taskmaster vs David Cain

- In a straight-up arena fight I would give the nod to Tasky - too fast with double-time, too many weird weapons. Here, there's stealth to consider. Cain has...REALLY good stealth feats. Like, Batman good. Tasky figures out where Cain is by back-calculating the trajectory of the bullet that just blew off the back of his own head.

Mileage, varies, etc. :)
