Made of a very durable metal, the Destroyer is near-unstoppable, very strong and has vast powers. It was designed to slay gods, right? It can fire beams of energy, too. I may have missed some powers, but that covers it.

So, let's pick opponents. Four only, please (no ties, contrivances, honourable mentions, etc.).

The four choices must consist of:

DC hero

DC villain

Marvel hero 

Marvel villain

No teams, please. I want to see how a solo hero would perform against the Destroyer. Elaborate on your choices if you wish. 

For my DC hero, it has to be the Flash. Is there something in the Speed Force that can help tip the balance in favour of the Flash? 

For my DC villain, I'm going with Trigon. He's an arrogant sod who I feel tends to underestimate foes. At the same time, he can back it up with actions. Be interesting to see how he handles Destroyer.

For my Marvel hero, I'd have to wonder what Man-Thing could do against Destroyer. Stalemate? I've never seen the Man-Thing hurt (doesn't everything go through him?). Can't see him doing much against Destroyer.

As for my Marvel villain, it has to be Juggernaut. Juggernaut VS Destroyer, eh? Imagine that! Matter VS Antimatter! No hero would want to be anywhere near such a battle. I can't predict a winner, either. Isn't Juggernaut's forward momentum unstoppable once he starts running? Isn't he invulnerable to the likes of Destroyer's beams? But what could Juggernaut do against Destroyer? 

Come on, Marvel, give me a Juggernaut VS Destroyer graphic novel! 

The Destroyer is one of my favourite villains.

DC hero: I've got two who I'd REALLY love to see, but I think the best match up would be with Negative Man of the Doom Patrol. Of course, the battle couldn't last more than 60 seconds...

DC villain: So many choices. So MANY choices. But if I can't select the Penguin, I think I would enjoy seeing Sinestro take on the Destroyer (before all this emotional, variant colored lantern crap.) I suspect that would be a honey of a battle.

Marvel hero: There are a couple who are too easy, and far too many who would go down like a house of cards in a farting contest. I'm going to go off the board and select Moondragon. A key element to the Destroyer is the mind controlling it... and that's where Moondragon would be most effective in a battle. (Because I know she's a top notch hand to hand fighter, but SERIOUSLY?)

Marvel villain: Again, two leapt to mind at once. But I don't know the status of one of 'em (alive or dead, hero or villain, or what the heck) so I thought I'd go for a little bit of irony. I'd like to see the Destroyer in the realm of Pluto.

I am going with the Destroyer from the comics, not from the Thor movie. Bad ass though that one was, Thor took it down pretty easily, I think.

I loved the late 90s issue (Dan Jurgens) where Thor had perhaps his toughest battle yet against the Destroyer. Let's hope that the Marvel Cinematic Universe give us a Destroyer quadrilogy soon... ;-)

DC hero: Wonder Woman

DC villain: Black Adam

Marvel hero: Hulk smash metal man!

Marvel villain: Ultron

DC Villain: Darkseid.

Marvel Hero: Will get back to you on that one.

Marvel Villain: The Juggernaut.
