User blog comment:Lasifer/Spawn (Al Simmons) vs Dr. Manhattan/@comment-143604-20120513015614

Manhattan will take this easily. While Spawn is one of this wiki's deadliest warriors, Manhattan is one of the most powerful beings in all of fiction. His normal binding to the pre-set timeline can be ignored here, since this battle would literally require him be ripped out of his natural universe or have it reshaped in some way, which will give him some measure of freedom to do as he needs, and with a mere thought, he would destroy Spawn on a molecular level. Any damage Spawn does, can be undone because Manhattan can reassemble himself, and with his greater intellect and experience, he can overwhelm Spawn with ease. I'm not trying to bash Spawn, but he's simply outclassed here- and when a dozen Doctor Manhattan's begin to appear and keep him from hitting the real one while he one-shots Spawn, it'll be over.
