10 Times Superheroes Fought The WRONG Villain
3. Captain America And Prometheus - JLA/Avengers
Frankly this whole list could be filled to the brim with fights from this classic crossover to end all crossovers, but in terms of heroes fighting the wrong villain for their book, there were none more satisfying than when Cap handily took down Prometheus.
Prometheus' whole gimmick is that he has a helmet which can predict the movements of his opponents and feed him strategies, so when he steps up to take on the first Avenger, he's pretty confident that he has the old man beat.
Yeah he uh, doesn't even get to put a scratch on Cap.
Cap meanwhile takes him out in just a few panels, commenting that he took on the worst of the Nazis, so Prometheus' dinky little helmet doesn't impress him. He then moves on, leaving Prometheus in a broken heap.
Yeah, that's for Lian Harper, you goofy looking scum-smear.
