You have a point. Those guys definitely win via the same category as Manhattan. They can just deconstruct him into matter or into nothingness.

I think that's almost the only way to beat Goku by characters outside of Dragon Ball. Do you know any characters who lack the power of creation/destruction or matter manipulation but could beat him by sheer beatdown strength?
Just utter and raw strength?
Obviously abilities have to come into play in this situation because goku has spirit bomb. etc
Also dont forget. Goku can transform. So I will not be leaving out characters that have quote on quote "evolved".
Superman Prime One Million.
I wont go into detail but goku cannot live in the sun. He wouldnt die instantly, but he would not last in the sun.
While on the flip side superman prime one million has chilled in there for 15,000 years. No problem
I am not sure about strength but the sheer amount of resistance superman prime has over goku would end up in him winning. Not because of strength but because of endurance, if you get what I mean.
NO EARTH BASED CHARACTERS IN MARVEL CAN DEFEAT GOKU OR VEGETA.
We have to get magic and other bullshit abilities that some characters have involved.
RAW strength wise goku and even vegeta are fucking over powered.
But since they use spirit based abilites such as final flash. Other characters that use magic or things like that will eat goku.
I cannot think of any raw punching and kicking based characters that can defeat goku but since he uses abilities we have to get ability based characters involved.
Characters such as odin and potentially thor ruin him hard.
Odin is a reality warper. Most people dont know his strength. But yea, we have to get these types of characters involved to defeat goku. Not many can raw fight goku without abilities.
