Dragon Ball 5 DC Comics Villains Broly Can Beat (& 5 Hed Lose To)

If Dragon Ball's Broly was pitted against these DC Villains, who'd win?

Overpowered supervillains with seemingly OP power levels have become a regular occurrence in the lore of Dragon Ball, but none such villain has ever come close to the power level of Broly, who has been mentioned in the same vein as Goku in canonically being the Legendary Super Saiyan.

Speaking of, while Goku defeated Broly in the latter's non-canon debut movie, he canonically struggled to beat him in the Super: Broly film and just barely got away by the skin of his teeth. Even the equally villainous Frieza got manhandled in a fight with Broly. Would villains from other universes like, say, the DC Universe run into the same struggles?

10 Broly Can Beat: The Joker

Now's as good a time as any to get the weakest of DC's bunch out of the way. When it comes to physical confrontations, The Joker's never dominated, anyone. He's meek, scrawny, and for all intents and purposes, cowardly.

With that in mind, the best that the Clown Prince has ever brought to the table is his ability to psychologically break his opponents - even the Batman - on a mental level. The problem here is that Broly's most powerful form reverts him into a feral, practically mindless state, giving The Joker nothing to work with before getting pummeled.

9 Broly Can't Beat: Sinestro

One villain who needs not to worry about having the psychological advantage is Sinestro. Yes, The Master of Fear's powers don't strengthen in this scenario when a mindless creature essentially fearless, but as long as he has his Lantern ring on his side, he has an advantage.

Few things - if any - can counterattack a Lantern ring at its full power. The mentally superior Sinestro can use his wit and intelligence to manifest literally anything out of his ring that comes to mind that he wishes to unleash on Broly without even breaking a sweat.

8 Broly Can Beat: Scarecrow

As mentioned earlier, Sinestro's fear-driven powers would have no effect on Broly in his most mindless and powerful state. By the same sword, the true Master of Fear himself, Scarecrow, would have nothing up his usual tricky sleeves to use against Broly.

Scarecrow's most useful, effective, and consistent technique has been using his signature fear toxin on his opponents. Anyone who takes that away from him is already halfway away from beating Dr. Crane. From there, all Broly would have to do is knock the straw stuffing out of him.

7 Broly Can't Beat: Poison Ivy

Poison Ivy is another villain who could not beat Broly by herself in hand-to-hand combat, but she doesn't have to. She does not even have to get within six feet of the battlefield - yet alone Broly himself - to inflict her damage, thanks to her plant powers.

If readers doubt that summoning killer trees will be enough to stop the Legendary Super Saiyan, then those same readers must also consider that Ivy can also use her pheromones to seduce Broly into a mind-control scenario. If she can't beat him, she'll force him to join her.

6 Broly Can Beat: Darkseid

Going into a fight against each other, both Broly and Darkseid boast impressive - and, in some regards at least, nearly identical - résumés. Identical in that both men have a knack for destroying planets.

However, it is Broly's greater level of efficiency that offers insight into how much stronger he'd be against Darkseid. Whereas Darkseid has been seen destroying planets like, say, the planet Oa by stomping his way throughout the planet and its inhabitants, Broly's has wiped out entire galaxies with a single ki blast. Broly could wipe out Darkseid with the same level of effort.

5 Broly Can't Beat: Doomsday

The folks at Rooster Teeth already did an apt job at describing what a fight between Doomsday and Broly would look like, via their YouTube Death Battle! series. Honoring how they laid the dream match out, it only seems appropriate to acknowledge the biggest X factor that Doomsday has at his disposal: a regeneration ability.

Broly himself can recover quickly, but Doomsday could have himself wiped off the face of the earth only to return and saw the Saiyan in half. Broly can't compete with that ability.

4 Broly Can Beat: Solomon Grundy

Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday, christened on a Tuesday, married on a Wednesday, only to get smacked around by the Legendary Super Saiyan on a Thursday.

To his credit, because he himself has been able to smack around game adversaries like Superman, Grundy would prove to be a game challenge for Broly. The two may even match each other in terms of strength. However, because he's basically dead, Grundy moves slowly like a zombie. Broly, meanwhile, despite his staggering size, has the speed of a leopard. He may not be stronger than Grundy, but he can surely be fast enough to evade him before delivering a final killing blow.

3 Broly Can't Beat: Ares

In his - albeit, non-canon - movie debut, Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan, there is a scene where Broly had likened himself to being a God. But how would the Saiyan fare against a literal God of War? Most likely, he would not fare much.

Ares' Godly powers include immortality and regeneration. Not to mention being literally built for a war-like situation of facing a monster like Broly. This Saiyan is a war machine in his own right, but even Goku could not defeat an actual God.

2 Broly Can Beat: Bizarro Superman

Even as an imperfect mirror image to Superman, Bizarro Superman still matches the original Man of Steel in power levels and abilities. And with Superman being one of the strongest overall characters that the DC Universe has to offer, Broly might have a long day with Bizarro Superman.

Or at least he would if Bizarro Superman had a clear grasp of his powers. Broly himself doesn't have the tightest grasp on his own powers, but the more uncontrollable Broly becomes, the stronger he becomes. Bizarro Supes is just too imperfect to use the full extent of his strength, which wouldn't serve him well against one of the strongest beings in the Dragon Ball universe.

1 Broly Can't Beat: Superboy-Prime

Superboy-Prime and Broly are essentially two sides of the same coin. They are both two ruthless, overpowered monsters who have little to no weaknesses beyond just their own anger and emotions getting the better of them.

In that sense, this one is a toss-up as far as who would win. It literally could go either way. What gives Superboy-Prime the edge, though, is that anything that theoretically could harm Prime (i.e. Kryptonite, a Red Sun) besides magic either don't exist in the Dragon Ball universe or wouldn't be at Broly's disposal. Unless Broly suddenly takes up becoming a magician before the fight, it looks like Supes is safe.
