Mention Guy Gardner and what comes to most comic book fans’ minds is how he got KO’d by Batman with one punch, just one punch, in 1986’s Justice League #5.

While that iconic moment didn’t transform the Dark Knight into One-Punch Man, it permanently painted Guy as an overrated character and has confined him to B-grade stature ever since!
