10 Comic Book Heroes Taken Down In Just One Hit!

7. Superman

Hulk The Thing
DC Comics

Superman is one of the most powerful - if not the most powerful - superheroes in existence. Although the Man of Steel can be severely weakened by Kryptonite, this rarely results in a quick defeat. However, Superman is also vulnerable to magic, and, in a crossover with the 'Masters Of The Universe' franchise during DC's New 52 era, the hero meets his match in the form of He-Man.

During the crossover, Skeletor magically takes control of Superman, forcing him into a fight against He-Man. To the surprise of everyone involved, He-Man takes Superman down with one stab from his magical Power Sword.

Though He-Man is briefly on the hook for murder, Superman is, of course, not actually dead. He-Man eventually manages to rescue Superman from Skeletor's control, helping him return home.

He-Man defeats Superman again in a later crossover with DC's 'Injustice' universe, in which Superman has turned evil, however this battle was not quite as easy. This time around, He-Man only gets the win after he obtains the powers of Shazam on top of his own abilities.
