Yep, that's the maxim I was alluding to :) Of course that's just a general principle and the specifics of a fight can be affected by many other variables (even a good fighter can have a bad day); and in certain styles that use internal power like Tai Chi, Hsing-I, Bagua, Aikido, or Wing Chun, external strength becomes less relevant at a high level of mastery. But generally speaking if you fight the way Cap and Batman do with sort of a blend of Jujitsu and Karate and Western Boxing and Wrestling and Savate, a strength advantage is a big advantage. In any case it'd be a cool fight to see, though :) What issue was that?--I want to get ahold of that.
On the X-Men/Titans crossover issue, now that you mention it you're right it was Simonson, who did a great job. It was really a great story with Dark Phoenix, Terminator, and Darkseid all appearing as villains. It was interesting to see how the two teams paired up--Robin and Cyclops as leaders, etc. I remember Wolverine was trying to figure out why Raven seemed afraid of him--an interesting tidbit Claremont tossed out but never explained!
BTW speaking of Simonson, did you know he also illustrated a version of The Hobbit published by Harry Abrams after the Rankin-Bass version came out? They included the Rankin-Bass pictures, but they had Simonson and one other artist add some. Simonson's interpretation of Gollum was pretty good--he took the Rankin-Bass version and made it much spookier and closer to Tolkien's.
It's in the second issue. The whole series is interesting... the attitudes each side have towards the other are interesting. I would not have thought of the angle that Busiek comes up with.

I did not know that!
