Thunderbolts vs. Suicide Squad: Who Wins the Ultimate Anti-Hero Battle?
When it comes to Marvel and DC’s most ruthless teams, the Thunderbolts and Suicide Squad lead the charge. With the Sentry rumored to join the MCU’s Thunderbolts, the power gap widens dramatically. However, for the sake of a fair fight, Sentry will be excluded from direct combat—his strength is simply too overwhelming. Let’s break down the strengths, members, and battle potential to decide the winner.

Strengths: A mix of superhuman power, strategy, and stealth. Even without Sentry, their abilities are formidable.
The Suicide Squad (DCEU Roster)
Deadshot & Bloodsport: Expert marksmen with advanced weaponry.
Harley Quinn: Unpredictable, acrobatic, and dangerously skilled.
King Shark & Killer Croc: Super-strong, nearly indestructible tanks.

Battle Breakdown
Raw Power & Abilities
With Sentry out of the equation, the playing field becomes more balanced. However, Ghost’s phasing ability and Taskmaster’s adaptability give the Thunderbolts a significant advantage. The Suicide Squad relies on unpredictable tactics, but can their ingenuity overcome superior skills?
🔹 Winner: Thunderbolts – Their physical capabilities and skill sets still outmatch the Squad.
Tactics & Teamwork
The Thunderbolts operate with military precision, blending strength with stealth. The Suicide Squad thrives on chaos, using reckless but effective strategies.
🔹 Edge: Thunderbolts, but the Squad’s unpredictability could throw them off balance.
Durability & Stamina
Ghost’s intangibility and Winter Soldier’s super-soldier enhancements give the Thunderbolts an advantage in endurance. While King Shark and Killer Croc can take serious hits, the rest of the Squad is far more vulnerable.
🔹 Winner: Thunderbolts – They can outlast the Squad in a prolonged fight.
Psychological Warfare
The Suicide Squad’s unpredictability and fearlessness make them wild cards. Harley’s chaos and Ratcatcher’s swarm tactics could create major distractions, while Taskmaster’s ability to mimic fighting styles could neutralize key Squad members.
🔹 Edge: Suicide Squad, if they can capitalize on surprise tactics.
Final Verdict: Who Wins?
Even with Sentry excluded from battle, the Thunderbolts still take the win thanks to superior power, durability, and coordination. Fighters like Taskmaster, Ghost, and Winter Soldier give them an edge in almost every category.
That said, the Suicide Squad’s chaotic tactics ensure a brutal, unpredictable fight. If they can exploit weaknesses and disrupt strategy, they have a chance—but ultimately, Marvel’s anti-heroes stand victorious.
🏆 Winner: The Thunderbolts – but only after a brutal, chaotic fight.
