I'm watching the Toonami premier of One Punch Man, and I suddenly thought "if Saitama was in a Death Battle, who would be a proper opponent for him?"
Tentatively, I would say Cody Travers from Final Fight and Street Fighter.
Both are massively overpowered warriors who eventually got bored with fighting in some way (Cody's addiction to fighting eventually not satiating him, and Saitama becoming bored due to not having to try when fighting). Both live lives that are not exactly ideal to say the least (Saitama lives paycheck to paycheck, with almost nobody taking him seriously, Cody being a jailbird). Both gaining their power through unbelievably-mundane means compared to most warriors of their tier (Saitama and his workout regimine, Cody street fighting and surviving prison)
Most of all, as mentioned previously, both are each one of the most powerful beings in their worlds. Saitama can kill nearly anything in one punch (with his punches being strong enough for the resulting gust of wind melting solid rock). Cody is powerful enough that Oni (the theoretical final form of Akuma, who, as Akuma, can punch strong enough to sink an island if memory serves) considers him a worthy foe.
What do you doods think?, who would you put Saitama against in a Death Battle?
