Theoretically, who is the most powerful character Shrek can defeat? No meme powers, just stuff that he has done in the movies and whatever.
batman without prep time

Is "I need a hero" playing in the background?
And does he have fairy tale friend back up?
These are 2 crucial points.
He could potentially beat the netflix defenders and maybe team arrow with the element of surprise
>>93872226
As big as he is and as loud as he can be, he is capable of being stealthy. It's one of the very first things he does in the first movie: he sneaks up on an angry mob.
>>93871850
Is the fight in his swamp? Does he have access to onions?
I think he could defeat the punisher if no firearms were allowed. Punisher can still use knives and traps. Still, I think Shrek would win.
Shrek is a pretty good tactician in his own right, and has uprooted large trees which could mean is strength is in the 20-30 ton range so he is like a Venom infused Bane without the rage. Unlike Bane though he is also really fast and can outrun dragon fire.
He has shown some immunity to magic too.

Probably Captain America
Based on Shrek's muscle mass and height, he can probably bench about 2 metric tonnes, several times more than Rogers.
Shrek also took a kick square in the dick by Donkey and took it a lot better than even an extra-built human would.

Lets say he's in his swamp, has eaten 2 onions, All Star is playing, and donkey is there for moral support
>>93872431
You forgot to say if Firearms or Knives/weapons are allowed. That makes a huge difference.
>>93872486
Shrek has taken an arrow in his butt without even noticing
>>93872597
Is Shrek considered an innocent? Can Samurai Jack's sword hurt him?
>>93872644
Shrek is a genuine hero. Jack's sword would merely bruise him or knock him out.
>>93872309
A lot of Shrek's tactics rely on teamwork and diversion though, if he's only with donkey as >>93872431 said then there are some limitations on his abilities.
Still, he's versatile, pretty acrobatic and speedy, and very strong.
We also have to factor in how being in his swamp would grant him the home turf advantage, and the general stench of the swamp combined with Shrek's general odor would most likely wear down the will of his opponent by some degree.
Before we just go around willy-nilly naming characters he could beat, we have to determine how exactly he fares as far as strength, agility, intelligence, and combat experience go.
We need to rank him in a range compared to the same abilities and powers of other cartoons and capeshit heroes/villains.
>>93872243
Being stealthy isn't that hard. Just move in places with low visibility and move very slowly, avoiding unnecessary noises.
>>93872431
But could he beat Jackie Chan while Jackie is holding a baby?
>>93873226
That's just plain unfair for Shrek, man.
>>93871850
Movie Shrek was nerfed hard
Book Shrek is OP as shit
>>93871850
Could probably beat up a young red dragon from D&D
We've seen how he fares against adult red dragons.
>>93873311
Can't book shrek scare an egg into being cooked?
That's some ridiculous intimidation stats there.
>>93873363

Listen to this fucking shit
>>93871850
Smaug.
Without dwarf support and hurling Bard's black arrow with his own two hands.
>>93873393
>uglier than the combination of the ugliness of two average ogres (crazy intimidation stats)
>toddler shrek could spit flame 90 yards (ridiculous cast range and damage)
For the sake of this thread we should focus on movie shrek, book shrek is too broken within the first 25 seconds.
>>93873393
>the embodiment of lightning tries to kill shrek
>shrek fucking eats pure electricity
>>93872431
So this is the initial fight at the beginning of the movie before Shrek has learned his lesson, not the climactic fight at the end?
No one. The point of the initial fight is for Shrek to lose. Even if he fights a little girl he'll lose to the little girl cause it's funny.
