Alright, I'm going to tackle this head-on as an unbiased party:
To begin, this is heavily in the favor of Marvel, despite Matt's rampant fanboyism. Clearing the air there, that's who would win in this. No real debate, but I'll proceed to explain why. To begin, let's look at the conditions of this match up:
So, a time has come when the all the Marvel superhero teams have to face the saiyans- Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta- of Dragonball Z Kai! Which side will win?
The contestants are 3 vs many. Very, very many. I'll be properly listing the sides:
DBZ Kai
-Goku
-Gohan (we'll assume Adult Gohan)
-Vegeta
Every Marvel Superhero Team
Here's the list of all 347 of them.
Now, for the sake of proving a point, I'll take 5 teams at random and discuss them, and go over the DBZ Saiyans picked as well, so we can have something to compare besides that massive list vs 3 people.
-Skrull Kill Krew (consisting of Ryder and Riot)
-Immortal Weapons (consisting of Bride of Nine Spiders, Dog Brother #1, Fat Cobra, Prince of Orphans, and Tiger's Beautiful Daughter)
-Warbound (consisting of Elloe, Kate Waynseboro, Korg, and No-Name)
-Deadpool Corps (consisting of Deadpool, Headpool, Dogpool, Kid Deadpool and Lady Deadpool)
-Godpack (consisting of Anak, Bella, Blitziana, Loga, Luminor, Riger, and Zefra)
This has now adjusted the analysis from a 3 on Good God Look At That Number, to a somewhat more manageable 3 vs 23. Now, a brief run down of all their abilities and whatnots (Word of Warning: This is
not every goddamn listed technique, it's as many as I feel need to be recognized; not every single type of punch or kick or grab or blah blah blah needs to be mentioned for the DBZ characters):

Alrighty then, that was an undertaking. Now, looking at the lists of abilities, we'll note a few things: firstly, Marvel heroes tend to be skilled at combat, as well as have powers which complement this. Their powers are also highly diverse. In the DBZ grouping, their primary skills use energy form inside the body. This is not inexhaustible in the case of the DBZ group, something which has been seen throughout the series, and it should be noted that very few times have the DBZ cast had to fight large groups of opponents even close to their strength. Whenever fighting, the opponent(s) would either be near their level or their clear superior, before there was a power up or another character came to assist. Namely, the DBZ cast, with no outside assistance, would very likely lose. Further proof of this, I'd present in the form of DBZ: Cooler's Revenge 2, in which Goku and Vegeta were unable to defeat the army of Metal Coolers. It was only after a power up, and them facing off against the core, that victory was in their reach.
With the conditions of facing
every Marvel Team of Superheroes, not only are the facing a large group of skilled opponents, many of which have powers at least comparable to their own or close to it, they're going at it with no Senzu Beans, exhaustible energy, and lack of motivation, which is particularly troublesome for Goku, who is very unlikely to kill or even fully challenge someone without seeing their full power.
So yeah, make of this what you will, I'd love some legitimate arguments with serious research. I know I don't delve headfirst into the exploits and make calculations of the power levels and strengths and blah blah blah of each character, but the amount I did with just this took over two hours to look up and post. So take that into consideration, if you feel like insulting me and saying things like "But Goku can punch planets and blow things up and he da bestest, you're stupid." I will bin this thread faster than Quicksilver gets off.
