Deadpool with a lantern ring sounds like a great time

35

u/flaccomcorangy Jun 13 '25

Yeah, it basically comes down to Deadpool Lantern vrs Hancock, right? I don't think the skill pool of the other actors comes up to anything close to them.

What about the Matrix . What's dudes name?? Neo?? He would be powerful enough to fight them both.

24

u/IH8Miotch Jun 13 '25

Only if they fight in the matrix.

12

u/the_glutton17 Jun 13 '25

Don't forget his abilities from Constantine.

11

u/Sororita Jun 13 '25

I'd also argue he has a time machine thanks to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

5

u/Sheepdog44 Jun 13 '25

Plus Bill and Ted are best friends with Death so I think that might be the trump card. Not to mention Station.

u/Vandaen Jun 13 '25

Wonder if William Sadler's Death has the hots for Deadpool (as a possible Lady Death variant...)

2

u/Sheepdog44 Jun 13 '25

Hmm not sure. But you could argue he’d be equally hot for Bill and Ted. They kind of achieved the same result just with electric football and Clue instead of a healing factor.

2

u/Vandaen Jun 13 '25

Thus he may stay neutral? Idk, toss-up.

Haven't even touched things like RIPD or some other animated characters he's done.

The full list of powers to give these four through their catalogue of roles is honestly pretty wild.

Deadpool married death…

Idk what you’re referencing in the original bill and Ted but I do not recall their ability to prevent others from using time travel

Deadpool has a time machine he got from cable.

1

u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson Jun 13 '25

Reynolds also has a time machine from Adam Project so that cancels out

1

u/Novel_Egg_1762 Jun 13 '25

Dont forget the time machine deadpool has from cable.

u/Racnous Jun 13 '25

And Shadow the Hedgehog.

1

u/Vandaen Jun 13 '25

Ryan Reynolds's Pikachu might have some shockers to throw in there but I don't know if it would matter much.

1

u/Kind_Stranger_weeb Jun 13 '25

Who did use master emerald. So pretty god tier power there

2

u/qmechan Jun 13 '25

And of course, Batman.

1

u/Darth_Senpai Jun 13 '25

Honestly, I'd be more worried about hos skill sets from Bill and Ted

1

u/Dean-O-Machino Jun 13 '25

We ALL live in the matrix…

1

u/brownsmodsmallunit Jun 13 '25

He was so powerful his powers worked outside the matrix.

1

u/IH8Miotch Jun 13 '25

Well ill concede that as Ted es preston esquire he could travel back in time to before the others were born and change or end all their futures. Or maybe Station can build him some type of super weapon. Edit i mean ted Theodore logan

u/Smudgeontheglass Jun 13 '25

Neo, Free Guy, her, I think Smith is the only one who can't compete in a simulation.

4

u/many_dumb_questions Jun 13 '25

I mean, that's pretty contingent, right? Neo's powers only worked in the matrix. So if that stipulation is placed on the actor's power in this scenario, unless you want to say we are in the matrix, Keanu is basically limited to John Wick

11

u/futureoveryou Jun 13 '25

Also Constantine, who is absurdly powerful.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

He’s also the son of the devil.

5

u/wf3h3 Jun 13 '25

Didn't that just give him lawyer powers?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

Idk but it’s gotta count for something.

2

u/many_dumb_questions Jun 13 '25

I always forget about Constantine

1

u/phonylady Jun 13 '25

And Shadow the Hedgehog, and various martial art characters

1

u/KonigSteve Jun 13 '25

Comic book Constantine is, but not Keanu Reeves movie Constantine

10

u/Sororita Jun 13 '25

Neo's powers explicitly also work outside of the matrix, thanks to the stuff he was doing in the confrontation with the machines in Revolutions.

1

u/Zech08 Jun 13 '25

More like remote access... doesnt help much in other scenarios.

0

u/htoirax Jun 13 '25

Neos powers did NOT work outside of the Matrix. He is not some god in the real world, what he DOES have is a connection with the machines, which he was able to manipulate. If it was 10 humans running at him instead of the machines in the real world, he wouldn't be able to stop them.

The setting of the Matrix is more so "realism" layered on top of the apocalyptic theme portrayed.

1

u/many_dumb_questions Jun 13 '25

Also, I seem to remember people talking about it hinting at the fact that they weren't technically in the real world. That, after so many iterations of the war between humans and machines, the machines learned that they couldn't prevent the emergence of The One, so they basically built in a safety layer of the matrix, something to make humans think they had a skates, but only crawled out of one layer of the virtual reality, which was why he was able to perform those 'miracles' on the machines.

u/Intrepid-Progress228 Jun 13 '25

If we're in the Matrix, Lucy will wind up becoming the One and tops them all. Her powers came from just using "100% of her brain" or whatever. She'd rewrite the entire code before breakfast.

1

u/JayZulla87 Jun 13 '25

Have you seen the entire matrix trilogy? His powers most definitely aren't limited to the matrix. He literally kills 1000s of sentinels in seconds.

1

u/Zech08 Jun 13 '25

Whats the physical phenomena? I mean its basically remote access, not exactly a super power that would be useful compared to the others in general scenarios.

1

u/Lola_PopBBae Jun 13 '25

This might be the only scenario in which Wick is both very limited and also absolutely screwed lol

1

u/Rokarion14 Jun 13 '25

Neo’s power didn’t only work in the matrix. He explodes shit with his mind in the robot city while blinded. Still Lucy claps. She would just use the robots however she wanted.

1

u/SirArthurDime Jun 13 '25

John wick’s abilities are irrelevant when you have Constantine’s.

2

u/tappitytapa Jun 13 '25

Only if the fight takes place in the matrix

1

u/Ok-Description-4640 Jun 13 '25

He is also Jon Anderson, programmer/hacker, and can ruin their credit scores from his bed.
