@isaac_clarke: Really? That's your argument? You lowball the characters and take their worst feats from the show to try to make any of the Avengers look powerful?
The thing here, that I find hilarious, I'm doing that at all. Feel free to point out what these abysmal "low-showings" I pulled, because from my perspective that was their regular routine, Superman himself has power levels depicted all over the place, from struggling to catch a crane to holding a cargo ship. I'm not using the crane to bench mark his power, or that comet about the size of my house he couldn't stop, no I'm going for what was perceived his BEST showing of strength and comparing it to Thor's best. Superman comes out short all on his lonesome.
Alright, let's play it your way. Thor, like Superman, holds back, even if not as much. He's been ridiculed by the Masters of Evil, in such case he should've been able to one-shot each one of them when they ambushed him.
Ridiculed by who now? 8:30:
You had the Abomination and Executioner hold him down after the Enchantress disarmed him, prior he was knocking them all on their rears in single strikes. I don't think it's much of a low showing for about characters arguably in his strength range, to have two of them hold him down as the other blasts him into submission. The was a reason why he's being bound to the table via those magic restrains rendered completely immobile and why he was targets last.
Hulk was almost KO'ed by Ross' Hulkbusters and one-shotted by Kang when assaulting his mothership.
"Almost KOed" I assume means he wasn't KOed. If I recall, the Hulk tanked more than just one shot from people on Kang's ship, but given the previous outing where the Hulk tore through Kang's shields in their first encounter I'd imagine Kang prepped something to avoid similar happenings. At the end of the day getting blasted by a lazer beam from tech completely out of this world isn't much of a low showing for the Hulk anyhow.
Obviously, that isn't a consistant showing, but it's called low-balling, similar to what you tried to prove with Superman and Flash.
I didn't low ball either one of them.
On the other hand, the only beings that have every truly been able to hurt Superman in the JLA show have been Doomsday and Darkseid.
Wonder Woman beat him half to death when they were enchanted to see each other as monsters. But the thing is, that isn't the only thing that comes to mind. Dozens of characters where able to hurt Superman in the series, some really kicked his rear. It wasn't just Doomsday or Darkseid, that's horribly selective memory. If anything he's kicked Darkseid's rear much worse despite whatever power-ups Darkseid had.
Though you also have to point out, neither Darkseid or Doomsday are even as powerful as Thor or Hulk, but something tells me you're not going to enjoy that line.
Other from that, he's never taken more than a scratch and made short work of Grundy, Aquaman, and tanked hits from Diana even after he refused to fight.
He couldn't even independently stand after Wonder Woman was done with him so I don't have a clue why you think that was a good showing. She was besting him before he even realized she was enchanted.
It was perfectly clear how outmatched he was when fighting Brainseid until he truly cut loose and absolutely demolished him.
The problem the whole "demolishing" of Darkseid consisted of him hitting Darkseid through a few buildings and then getting a net tossed on him. If I recall he was going to cut Clark's heart out. That's not a good showing for him.
I don't see what's stopping him from doing the same to Thor or Hulk who are both too slow and have never been hit like that in EMH.
Did you gloss over the entirety of the Graviton fight? The Hulk was knocking Graviton across the city and Thor a portion of the city, while also knocking Graviton through it. They both hit WAY harder than Superman does, getting knocked through walls or if were using that last fight with Darkseid, throwing the daily planet ball through the building on him was giving Clark trouble.
Regardless of whether Flash speed-blitzes or not, he has the ability to and if Superman isn't enough, Diana, Stewart, J'onn and Hawkgirl to back them up. It's not as if any of the other Avengers really pose a threat.
Those tech / enchanted vibranium daggers Panther tosses around, Iron Man's uni-beam that was leveling the street, Wasp's basts that could cut clean in half cargo containers and Giant Man making him self well massive enough to toss around cargo ships HEAVILY DISAGREES WITH THAT STATEMENT. Even Cap was impressive enough to say he could hurt them.

JLA ftw. They have more Powerhouses, and better feats.
Maybe you could tell me the better feats. Because they are thus far NON-EXISTENT.
