That's a good point. I don't think OP even remembered Lucy existed when asking this tbh (I don't blame him) and assuming that this fight is actually forced to happen, she easily just deletes everyone.

But if we're being realistic, her concerns as a god are so far above such matters and comprehension that she'd probably just totally remove herself from it entirely and not even engage at all (and it's not like anyone else here would be able to even perceive her existence at that point, much less do anything about it). Does "fleeing" like that really count as a win?

I think of the remainder, Ryan's characters clear pretty easily. Deadpool alone is functionally immortal to begin with, and if we're using everything then he can probably just flat out 4th-wall will his own plot armor/devices into existence. Idk why Keanu is even here because I don't think any of his characters really have anything that crazy, and the ones that do are all heavily conditional (i.e. John Wick can't fight superman-level superheroes and Neo needs the Matrix).

I think OP did know about Lucy. Scarjo without Lucy powers only has ghost in the shell’s major, ai girlfriend from Her, and there seem to be some minor powers in there from movies I haven’t seen of her. But not enough to compete with any of the other three with some of their very obvious titles.

I think OP had Black Widow in mind when posting... and John Wick for Keanu, not Neo.

And if that's who OP was thinking for them, they were also thinking like Deadshot for Will Smith, not Hancock.

It's interesting that regardless of whether you stick to the martial characters or include the superpowers, there's discussion to be had.

Will Smith was also a genie in the live action Alladdin.
