DBZ has no chance against extremely powerful psychics. 8, 16, 19, and maybe 20 and Buu could take Xavier. And don't give me the whole "Babidi couldn't control Vegeta" thing. That was a magical ability, not a mental one, and Xavier has faaaaaar greater feats than Babidi. Thor's got just as much pride as Vegeta, and Xavier handled him just fine.

It depends with Magneto. He's gone from being helpless against plastic to being able to hold off Galactus. I'll give it to him 8/10, barring him suffering a stroke from too much exertion or something.

Phoenix is an relatively omnipotent immortal being. It is the embodiment of all life that has or ever will exist. I don't care what Whis has been extrapolated to be capable of; he doesn't stand a chance.

Shaw in the comics can be overloaded by forcing him to absorb too much energy. As for Movie Shaw, I don't see him taking a planet busting beam attack. He may be able to resist it for a bit, but I just don't see him taking the whole thing without blowing himself up.

Thor and Phoenix stomp all of them.

Xavier beats everyone except the purely mechanical androids, and possibly Buu, depending on whether his telepathy could affect Buu or not.

Wolverine makes it to the 21st Budokai, and loses to Roshi. Krillin is stronger, but doesn't have a way of putting Wolverine down. Roshi can Kamehameha him into orbit.

Shaw makes it to Giran, who gums him up.

Thor and Phoenix stomp everyone on that list? Heck no, I don't think they'd make it past the DB era characters tbh. I'm fairly certain he means movie versions no?

Oooooooooohhhhhh movies.

Movie Phoenix has the power to instantly destabilize matter on a molecular level. Wolverine was able to survive because Adamantium is the densest possible element there is, and due to his healing factor supporting it. She has the power to take everyone in DB besides maybe Buu, due to matter manipulation and telepathy, but, conversely, she doesn't have especially impressive durability. So, it depends on if they can react to her fast enough.

Movie Thor is.....weird. I'm not really sure where to place him.

Goten has no chance against Chaozu's psychic abilities. He also has nothing going on up stairs, so it's not like he'll be able to strategize like Krillin did.

Why is Movie Thor "weird"? There's some inconsistency with him, like other MCU characters, but not a ridiculous amount.

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Well I was initially thinking of the movie versions of each character, but now I'm interested in seeing what you all have to say about both versions.

If movie Phoenix is quick to attack first and doesn't leave herself vulnerable to attack, I could see her crushing everyone on that list with the possible exclusion of Beerus, Whis, and Buu (thanks to regeneration). Although, I'm wondering if she may be able to wipe Buu out completely like the Spirit Bomb did.

I feel that movie Thor with his hammer is at or around Final Form Frieza 100% (before training).

Xavier's telepathy is definitely a unique ability, that in my opinion outweighs any psychic power and/or magical ability displayed in DBZ. Therefore, I could see him going pretty far and definitely causing some major damage to both the villains and Z-Fighters. Since he probably can't control the mechanical androids and possibly Buu, I could see him manipulating someone like Golden Frieza or Goku to trash them. That is, if he could somehow access their minds before they even meet in battle, since they are lower down on the list. Do you really think he can control Whis and Beerus too though?

As for Wolverine, without the usage of ki blasts, don't you think he can do pretty well in hand to hand combat against at least Raditz arc Piccolo and Goku or even Raditz himself? Movie Wolverine also seemed to have displayed some insane amount of durability and regeneration. I always felt that he could at least tangle with Nappa if not higher.

Shaw (from First Class, not the one from the comics) never showed any indication that his energy absorption has limits. Assuming he can absorb a blast equivalent to one solar system buster, and can absorb higher amounts as long as done so in multiple increments, don't you think he'd at least get to SSJ2 tier? I'm not sure why, but I just see Shaw (First Class) being able to cause some considerable damage to the DBZ universe with an insane amount of room for energy absorption. Assuming he could also seemingly absorb punches and kicks, I don't see how he wouldn't do well.

Beerus and Whis have demonstrated no resistance against any kind of matter manipulation. I don't give people abilities that they have not demonstrated.
Same with telepathy. At least for the "Marvel brand of telepathy," physical strength is irrelevant when it comes to mental defense. You can't punch or blast some guy out of your brain. I didn't take into account him controlling a third party, though, since that wasn't specified in the original.

Wolverine's probably a better fighter than anyone we've seen in Dragon Ball, and he's got the durability to hang with them until the really crazy stuff starts happening, but his biggest problem is speed. Wolverine's not all that much faster than a normal human, while these guy's are zipping around faster than the eye can see. Sometimes. On a good day.
Shaw never absorbed anything bigger than a relatively small bomb, if I recall correctly. There's a huge assumption that that means he has no limits. His biggest problem, though, is that he starts off weak. He can absorb stuff, sure, but that's not gonna stop one of the freaks from the 21st Budokai on from just ripping his head off. Comic Shaw has better feats, but even then...

Same with telepathy. At least for the "Marvel brand of telepathy," physical strength is irrelevant when it comes to mental defense. You can't punch or blast some guy out of your brain. I didn't take into account him controlling a third party, though, since that wasn't specified in the original.

Wolverine's probably a better fighter than anyone we've seen in Dragon Ball, and he's got the durability to hang with them until the really crazy stuff starts happening, but his biggest problem is speed. Wolverine's not all that much faster than a normal human, while these guy's are zipping around faster than the eye can see. Sometimes. On a good day.
Shaw never absorbed anything bigger than a relatively small bomb, if I recall correctly. There's a huge assumption that that means he has no limits. His biggest problem, though, is that he starts off weak. He can absorb stuff, sure, but that's not gonna stop one of the freaks from the 21st Budokai on from just ripping his head off. Comic Shaw has better feats, but even then...
Sorry, I edited my last post by adding in something regarding movie Thor.

Well you're right, Whis and Beerus have not displayed the ability to resist telepathic abilities, so at this point it's pure speculation. I also completely agree with you on the fact that Xavier's telepathy is not any shape or form less effective against an opponent with greater physical strength. Therefore, as astonishing as it sounds, I suppose it is possible that Whis and Beerus would fall victim to Xavier's telepathy.

Well, Wolverine could always pretend to be down and get in a sneak attack on someone like Raditz or Nappa; who would probably be gloating over him, thinking they've fully taken him down. However, because speed is such a disadvantage to him, I was hesitant to put him anything above Nappa. If he had the speed to keep up, I would say his durability, regeneration, adamantium, and skills all enable him to keep up with First Form Frieza. Just my fan based theory.

Shaw absorbed more than just that. He was also in the process of absorbing the nuclear reactor on the submarine. I can't recall a limit ever being mentioned during this time or anytime during the movie. Until I find any implication towards there being limits to this absorption capability, I can't see why it would be impossible for him to at the very least be able to absorb a planet buster.
