Once more, you get to pick who would win if these couples or teams mixed it up on a Saturday night which is alright for a fight!
Be bold. Be brutal. Be honest!
- Katar and Shayera (Silver Age) VS John Carter and Dejah Thoris
- Scott, Jean, Warren, Bobby and Hank VS Rokk, Irma, Garth, Dirk and Gim (Neither team using powers)
- Gandalf and Bilbo VS Merlin and Wart (no transformations)
- Ollie and Dinah VS Clint and Bobbi
- the Universal Frankenstein Monster, Dracula and Wolf Man VS the Marvel Frankenstein Monster, Dracula and Werewolf By Night
- the Lone Ranger and Tonto VS the Green Hornet and Kato (no weapons)
- The main crew from Star Trek: the Original Series VS the main crew from Star Trek the Next Generation (Chekov VS Wesley match-up optional)
- Voltron VS the Power Rangers
- the Ninth Doctor & Rose VS the Tenth Doctor & Donna VS the Eleventh Doctor & Amy (choose a time and place)
- Bruce and Dick (teen) VS Steve and Bucky (teen) (no belt or shield) and WHY?
If that last one doesn't stir things up, I don't know what will!
Get your ringside seats and please add any match up you want!

Katar and Shayera (Silver Age) VS John Carter and Dejah Thoris - Shayera by herself.
Scott, Jean, Warren, Bobby and Hank VS Rokk, Irma, Garth, Dirk and Gim (Neither team using powers) - If there's no powers allowed, it's a slapfest. I'll go with the X-Men because training.
Ollie and Dinah VS Clint and Bobbi - One of these characters has an actual super power. I'm going with her.
the Lone Ranger and Tonto VS the Green Hornet and Kato (no weapons) - Kato in a rout.
The main crew from Star Trek: the Original Series VS the main crew from Star Trek the Next Generation (Chekov VS Wesley match-up optional) - No match for Worf. Riker's allegedly a bad-ass. Picard would broker an armistice.
Bruce and Dick (teen) VS Steve and Bucky (teen) (no belt or shield) and WHY? - If no gadgets are involved, Steve Rogers has enhanced stamina and should outlast the others. He and Bucky win.
I'm only familiar with some of these ...
Neither team using powers? I'll pick the X-Men; I don't think the other bunch would know what to do if they couldn't use their powers.
On the one hand, both the gents are notorious loudmouths. On the other, one of these two ladies is one of the top martial artists in the DC universe. Advantage: Ollie and Dinah.
Kato can handle all three of the other guys by himself.
At first blush, I'd say The Original Series crew, but thinking about it a little harder ... Kirk is younger and stronger than Picard; Worf and Spock are probably evenly matched in strength; LaForge I'd figure over Scotty; Troi would be useless in a fight; I'd figure McCoy could handle Dr. Crusher; Chekov vs. Welsey, I'd say Chekov ... so, still, The Original Series crew.
Bruce as a teen is a driven borderline psychopath where Steve as a teen is trained by the U.S. Army, which routinely takes average schmoes and turns them into fighting men, and then got Ranger training to boot; Dick as a teen is a circus aerialist and gymnast, but not a fighter, where Bucky is trained by the U.S. Army, which routinely takes average schmoes and turns them into fighting men and then got Ranger training to boot. Steve and Bucky on this one.
I think the idea is that both Robin and Bucky are teens, but Batman and Captain America are adults. Just no weapons.
Katar has superior manoeuvrability and Carter superior strength and speed.(1) Katar has a more even temperament but Carter more determination. If Katar doesn't realise what Carter can do and gets too close, Carter leaps up and grabs him and wins. If Katar keeps high he has time to get out of the way before the leaping Carter can get to him. If Katar is armed with a hand-to-hand combat weapon, such as a mace, Carter wins unless Katar tricks him into jumping off a cliff or into a swamp. If he's armed with a bow, a crossbow, or a sling, I'm not sure: but the Silver Age Katar wouldn't fight to kill, so he only wins by somehow knocking Carter out (e.g. using blunt arrows). If he has a net who wins depends on writer's fiat (whether he manages to tangle Carter in it and whether Carter can rip it or not). If the Hols are armed with Thangarian weapons, as they might be if the encounter occurs on Mars, they could be weapons that nullify Carter's advantages.
Shayera easily defeats a naked, defenceless woman with no combat skills. (Shame on her, taking such advantage.) She then gangs up with her husband against Carter but I think Carter still has a good shot at victory depending on what they're armed with.
(1) On the other hand, if they're on Mars, Katar should have superior strength too. I didn't think of that. Carter might be the weaker man due his long sojourn on Mars. But he'd be more used to fighting under Martian conditions.
Doesn't John Carter just have enhanced strength on Mars? If all four of them were on Mars then the Hawks would also have enhanced strength, wouldn't they? If all four were on Earth, wouldn't John Carter just be a normal (very old) guy?

Not old, because he was mysteriously eternally young even before he went to Mars. He was presumably already a decent swordsman too.
Thinking about the Star Trek match-up, in theory Data should take them all out. He has superior strength and speed and should be immune to Spock's Vulcan Neck Pinch.
Also, Picard is lot more physical than he's given credit for.
This is all about getting chicks to fight, isn't it? C'mon, 'fess up!
Equal opportunity, Cap'n, equal opportunity.
