The Grand Showdown: Marvel vs DC
The showdown between these two powerhouse units is a match that is worthy of gods. Marvel's aggressive striking force, which is represented mainly by Hulk and Winter Soldier, would face DC’s superhuman batting line-up, in which we would see Superman and Wonder Woman. At the same time, Batman would display team spirit and strategic intelligence in spaces of hostility, which is Marvel’s way of playing the game.
Key Clashes to observe:
Thor vs Superman: A six-hitting contest in which balls might get catapulted into a lower orbit.
Doctor Strange vs Flash: A mystical spin against one's running speed could be an interesting match.
Hulk vs Shazam: A fierce fight of both hitting and bowling muscle power means the ultimate power struggle.

Who Would Win?
Even though DC is the overpowering force with Superman and Shazam, the trio of strategy, agility, and magic of Captain America, Iron Man, Spiderman, and Black Panther powered by Doctor Strange could turn the tables to the other side. Marvel could be on the ropes and edge it in the final over!
What do you think? Which superhero team would claim the Champions Trophy?
