10 Comic Heroes Who Humiliated Their Rival

10. Batman Vs Guy Gardner

For a founding, pivotal member of the Justice League, Batman doesn't have the greatest reputation for playing well with others.

This particular feud, however, was not entirely the Dark Knight's fault. Bringing the team together in J.M. DeMatteis's Justice League #1, Batman had a rival from day one. And he'd stop at nothing to prove his worth... by taking down the Batman.

Guy Gardner - Green Lantern, to us non-powered beings - had his eye on the Justice League's top spot. Hounding and provoking Batman, Gardner eventually got the fight he wanted - only to be knocked unconscious with one punch from the Batman.

This was to the delight of the League, who had each had their fill of Gardner since joining. Lesson learned: you don't mess with the Batman. The demeaning 'bonk' sound effect somehow only intensifies Guy's humiliation.
