Which underdog from first gen will you be rooting for? Civil War I: Team Cap obviously, Tony was a d**k throughout the whole story.

Civil War II: Team Iron Man this time, because he's more sympathetic.

I have done this one a lot actually and my stance has changed several times. It heavily depends on which Superman is being used. Most people seem to be following ScrewAttack's Death Battle verdict on Superman being the victor, but there are several things they did wrong. My verdict is that, while Superman may have an edge over Goku in terms of raw power that does not automatically give him the victory. Ultimately it's about who is smarter in the battle. Goku is a combat genius and there are several ways he could exploit Superman's weaknesses. Firstly and most obvious way is Goku can figure out that Superman is powered by the sun, which means he can either destroy the sun or teleport him and Superman to somewhere else without it. Secondly, among Superman's weaknesses Lex Luthor theorized he could be weak to chi. Goku pretty much uses ki/chi in all of his attacks, and used correctly he could easily KO Superman. Thirdly, as strong as Superman is, he rarely ever displays any actual combat training. He never f-ing dodges and his punches are sloppy. Goku on the other hand is all about martial arts which involves dodging, blocking, and economic moves. Goku is pretty damn strong and still getting stronger, so even if he's not quite at Superman's level of power, he can still hurt Superman and slowly wear him down. However, having said that, Superman can still unleash a powerful attack straight away and KO Goku before he even gets to that stage. But that's pretty OOC of Superman to be that ruthless without knowing an opponent's motive, especially if Goku just wants a fight. So ultimately, I am giving the fight to Goku.

JLU is just so much catchier, plus it shows off more characters. I'm also more used to it.
