Strength plays a decisive role in any kind of one-on-one duel and in this one, Captain Marvel edges out Vegeta by a whisker. She has shown that she is capable enough to fight Thanos, and the Mad Titan has the strength rivaling that of Jiren or Ultra Instinct Goku.
How do you kill MCU Captain Marvel? The Infinity Gauntlet with all the Stones could kill her, but that's obvious. With the Power Stone, you can also kill her, as that grants you ergokinesis, which would allow you to take her power off her.
Throughout the years, Goku has gone through many transformations—each of them stronger than the one before—and his latest transformation into Ultra Instinct form makes him closer to a god than mortal. Therefore, without any doubt, Goku would destroy Captain Marvel in combat.
The most powerful is Hyperion, and much like Superman, he would end Goku. Hyperion usually hails from another universe and is frequently the most powerful hero around. One version of Hyperion beat every hero and villain on Earth, and another flew through Galactus's head, killing him.
Deus ex machina is the most powerful character in Future Diary. He is known as the ruler of Time and Space. His control over these domains allows him to create the Future Diaries. Due to his ability to warp reality, he can defeat Ultra Instinct Goku as easily as Featherine.
Cosmic Spider-Man may be able to wreck Goku in an instant but when you take away those oh-so-awesome Uni-Powers, the tide shifts completely in Goku's favor.
3 Lose: Captain Marvel
Danvers has the advantage of being fast in the air as well as on the ground to add to her already burning strength. Even if Jiren powers up, he wouldn't be a match for Danvers in a one-on-one battle.
9 Can't Beat: Shazam
Shazam is already what Goku would be like if he were in the DC Universe (except for the whole being a kid thing). While Shazam isn't as well trained in hand to hand combat, he more than makes up with in raw strength and the power of lightning attacks.
Moon Knight's power level is often up for debate, but every night he demonstrates that he is capable of taking out each of the Avengers.
Captain Marvel is one of the most powerful Avengers who can defeat Captain America. Her superhuman strength, flight, and energy projection abilities make her a formidable opponent in battle.
But in All-Out Avengers #5, it's Captain Marvel's turn to run out of luck as Spider-Man defeats Carol Danvers with a disturbing attack involving webs directly shot down her throat. Spider-Man and Captain Marvel, despite being very different heroes, actually share a romantic history.
6 Beat Him: Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z)
Vegeta has killed opponents on multiple planets and bested some of the toughest warriors in the universe. While Batman might be able to match Vegeta's martial arts techniques, the Caped Crusader could never keep up with the Saiyan's speed and energy attacks.
Wiz: Despite being up against the God of Strength, Vegeta actually matched up pretty closely with Thor. Both could output power far in excess of destroying a single universe. Popup: If Thor was given the Thorforce, he'd scale to multiversal-level feats from the likes of Odin, furthering the gap in power.
SSJ4 Gogeta
While Super Saiyan Blue Shinka is the most powerful form that Vegeta has achieved on his own, the strongest transformation he has ever gone through would be that of Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, which is light years beyond any other.
It's going to take a lot for Cyborg to hurt her, and with her energy-absorbing abilities, most of his weapons are off the table. At that point, he's reduced to duking it out with her, but she still has all of her powers. She can hit him from long range, and he has no answer for it. That's not a fight Cyborg can win.
While Goku and Jiren were relatively evenly matched during the Tournament of Power, and once MUI came into play, Goku will eventually beat Jiren with ease. The Moro arc already saw Goku prioritizing his control over MUI, a critical factor in Goku's survival versus Jiren.
In the Infinity Conflict storyline, Astral Regulator Thanos defeated The One Above All. This was achieved by using the powerful artifacts of creation known as the Astral Regulators, which The One Above All created to prevent the universes from colliding with each other and causing destruction.
Thanks to his numerous techniques, increasing strength, and the amount of transformations he has, Venom doesn't have a chance to defeat Goku. If Goku utilized his ultra instinct abilities, he would be untouchable, and his blows would be more than enough to kill Venom completely.
Sure. Goku has much greater stats, power, forms, and combat experience/skills, but SpongeBob has much better abilities, arsenal, and hax's that he can win in many scenarios himself.
As the main character, Goku eventually surpassing Beerus is all but guaranteed. After all, Goku's journey is one of encountering and overcoming obstacles. It was demonstrated with Demon King Piccolo, then Frieza, then Kid Buu. Beerus is yet another obstacle for Goku to overcome.
Super Saiyan 3 Goku at full power has a battle power of 24,000,000,000, 2 billion above Kid Buu's level.
Goku may never pass Zeno and 4 other Dragon Ball characters
While his fight with Moro showed he can beat another Ultra Instinct user, Whis' Angelic heritage and proficiency is unfathomable.
