The Defenders. A nonteam made up of loners, outcasts, square pegs put in round holes and metahumans that couldn't fit in elsewhere. If Ranma had met them before his changes, he'd fit right in. Even now Ranma would fit on the team. After all a member of the team (Moondragon) had mind controled a planet, killed her father, seduced Thor and got sent to the Defenders as more or less community service by Odin with her powers reduced and with Valkryie watching her. Later she was controled by a cosmic being and killed half the team.... and they were still on speaking terms with her. Of course of the half the team killed included her and they all came back to life sooner or later.
It could be said the Defenders have no standards. It would be right. However the team has several beings of power which alone would be tough for Ranma to beat. They are together and well no sane being would want to fight them. They being the four founding members of the Defenders: Doctor Strange, The Incredible Hulk, the Silver Surfer and Namor the Submariner.
With the Big Four was the X-Man Iceman. He was a Defender with his fellow X-Men (Arch)Angel and the Beast. Also with them was the Gargoyle, a man who ended up in a stone gargoyle body when he tried to get out a deal with a devil. Moondragon was also on this version of the Defenders. A martial artist and with powerful mental powers, she's free of the being that made her do those horrible actions. The final member of the group was Hellcat. She's the prototypical girl next door and she has horrible tastes in husbands (the first being abusive and later becoming a super villian, the second being the son of Satan and who later took after his father).
The Hulk smashed a brass demon with his bare hands. The Silver Surfer blew them up with the Power Cosmic. Namor smashed them with his fist. Iceman froze them and shattered them. Hellcat smashed with her hands and feet. Moondragon used martial arts and telekinetics. Gargoyle shot them with mystical energy blasts and punched them.
Dr. Strange was battling Ranma. Dr. Strange blocked a fireball with the shield of Seraphim. Dr. Strange used the bolt of Balthakk on Ranma.
Ranma saw that his Brass Demons were wrecked and that all of the Defenders were about to attack him. He had a feeling even with all his power he'd rather not fight these team. Ranma used the super Saotome final technique and teleported away.
