I know it's been done before, but ...JLA vs. Avengers vs. X-Men

What about when Hercules towed the island of Manhattan back into place?

Wasn't that Marvel and wasn't that just Hercules boasting? This is going off my memory so I could be flat out wrong.

Well, it was Marvel, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't him boasting. It's actually one of those things people have told me 1000 times. I didn't read the book it happened in. Like the "Spiderman defeats Firelord" fight, it's just something I've been told about.

How about the Golden Age JSA, with the Spectre? As we saw in Crisis on Infinite Earths, when he battled the Anti-Monitor, the Spectre is DC's most powerful superhero.

Deus Ex Machinas don't count. The Spectre, as portrayed there, can beat every team combined.

Well, every team except Bat-Mite & Mr. Mxyzptlk, that is.

I believe I recall Hercules pulling Manhattan island back into place in an issue of Team Up. I have them all, and someday, I'm going to re-read them again. Ah, what a collection...

IIRC, the illustrator drew it wrong -- had Battery Park at the wrong end of the island. THAT made it into "Marvel Mistakeworks", a send-up of Marvel Masterworks that also included the classic scene of Cap saying "Only one of us is going to leave here alive, and it won't be me!"

You're probably right. I have all of them as well. One of these days I'm going to go through my comics and figure out which have to go. (31 long boxes, I'd like to get it down to 6)
