Wow, all 3 of these are really hard. I'm good I have to go do some research before I vote on the last 2.

As I've said before, I really love moonknight, (heck he was my avatar here for the past 3 years) but have to say if this fight was in the Avengers during the 80s or 90s Hawkeye wins.

This is tough for me to figure out. I only read Spawn for a couple of years. 2 years in to the comic I Had a spinal cord injury paralyzing me from the chest down, basically making reading comics impossible until they were available again on the Internet. About 10 years after my accident. So, you can see the way McFarland was developing the character slowly, my knowledge pretty much ended 2 years in.
From everything I can gather from wiki both characters are pretty much immortal and impervious to most manners of injury. Spawn seems to me to only be limited by his imagination and the "meter" ticking on his power limits. The more he uses his power the less he eventually has, meaning his power is not limitless.
Ghost Rider, seems to vary depending on the person possessed by the spirit. He's pretty much impervious to most things I could figure Spawn to throw at him. The main difference being ghost riders pentance stare. Spawns life was filled with violence, making him susceptible to the PS, but there is one caveat. Wikipedia says Spawn can only be killed by a holy weapon only forged in heaven. Something GR would not have any access to.

So, while neither can kill the other, I think GR's PS potentially has the ability to knock the fight out of Spawn. If anyone can come up with a viable way Spawn could do the same to GR I'm all ears.

I have to read up on Martian Man Hunter mainly because there is anything about the character from the 70s and my 60s knowledge of him was limited. I understand his basic power set, just not sure how it compares to Superman's. I'll comment on that tomorrow.

The dude is basically Superman with the added powers of shape shifting, intangibility, and telepathic powers added on. As most omnipotent characters DC has developed, he comes with a certain weakness… His own kryptonite so to speak… a backdoor method so the writer could give his stories some sense of substance.

Superman has heat vision. The big question is, is there a difference between Superman's heat vision and fire. If "no" then all Superman has to do is attack MM using his heat vision, fight over.

If the answer is yes, then Superman only has to ignite something with his heat vision close enough so the flames take down MM. Fire not only harms the Martin Man Hunter, it neutralizes his powers.

In a scenario where MM wins he would have to locate and bring some kryptonite close enough Superman before his opponent could attack. A slightly more difficult scenario then above.

Therefore Superman should win this fight more times than not.

"Nuff said"!

Hawkeye vs Moon Knight: This is pretty much a stalemate, IMO. So because I [frick]ing hate Hawkeye, I'm giving it to Moon Knight.

Ghost Rider vs Spawn: Ghost Rider wins through the power of Nicolas Cage.

Superman vs Martian Manhunter: Supes is my all time favorite CB character, but I gotta give it to MM. MM doesn't show it, but hes pretty powerful. Easily on the same strength level as Supes, intangibility, and telepathy. Manhunter doesn't even have a fear of fire anymore, so hes really got no weaknesses.

Moon Knight vs Hawkeye

Tuff call it's a draw to me.

Spawn vs Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider wins,it basically comes down to this.Spawn needs the energy of evil beings to feuls his attacks.While he posseses he own internal supply of this energy it is finite.Seeing as Ghost Rider hunts evil and he's motivated by the demon within Spawn may not be able to get enough or any energy at all from the Rider.So once his energy is used all up poof back to hell for Spawn.


Martain Manhunter vs Superman

Really hard call and a great match-up.Superman and J'on are both modest beings iconicly but currently are two of DC's bad boys of justice.They're still relatively good its just they seem like they will go that extra mile and J'on has used his telepathic abilities more now then in the past.

That being said J'on's telepathic abilities might give him the edge he needs to win.Though Supes has displayed psionic resistance in the past rare few occassions he has been telepathically manipulated by people with strong mental abilities.So I'll go with Martain Manhunter for the win.

Hawkeye vs Moonknight -- Hawkeye from a distance; MK if it gets up close and personal.

Spawn vs Ghost Rider -- Spawn's power meter is limited, GR's isn't. Spawn has a history of bad deeds, GR has the Penance Stare. The only known way to kill Spawn may be with a holy weapon in HIS universe, but Image doesn't have a character with a Penance Stare. I think GR would serve him up extra crispy.

Superman vs Martian Manhunter -- Supes himself has copped to MM's superiority; that pretty much says it all. John has all of Supes' powers and then some, including telepathy and intangibility. Superman can't hurt what he can't hit and can't plan his next move if MM's scrambling his thought processes. MM for the win.

That'd be a cool match-up, I was thinking Rorschach vs Question, but Riddler's a good one too.

Nite Owl vs Ted Kord Blue Beetle would be the better match up.
