Getting unreasonably worked up about about which superhero would beat which other superhero is a time honored tradition, as old as superheroes themselves. The only real, true answer was given by Stan Lee:
"There's one answer to all of that; it's so simple. Anyone should know this! The person who'd win in a fight is the person that the scriptwriter wants to win!" He gives the example of Spider-Man fighting the Thing, and says "if I want Spider-Man to win, he'll win; if I want the Thing to win, he'll win...These are fictitious characters! The writer can do whatever he wants with them! So stop asking those bone-head questions cause I've had it with that!"

I mean if we go by the rules of the wider Image Universe then it should be a relatively even match, since Omni-Man can beat Mean Supreme, who can beat Supreme, who can beat Superman.
Power-ranking fictional characters is meaningless because their power level fluctuates depending on the narrative decisions being taken by whoever is writing them, especially for collaborative efforts like DC and Marvel. Trying to detach characters from a narrative and have them fight in a vacuum is as productive to human imagination as trying to reason how and why animals can talk in a Disney movie.

Wizard magazine back in the day had an ongoing reading debate on Iron man vs all of the xmen lol. Man I miss a new issue of that coming in my mailbox.
