Okay something that surprised me about the character and show of Jack Reacher was that with both the original author’s, and show creators wanting to stay true to the author, in making a emphasize to have Jack Reacher be a big 80s muscle bound Schwarzenegger like character, I’m actually surprised how grounded the character is in combat. Was expecting your typical over the top action character, but that wasn't what I got.


So that got me curious, who's the strongest/most powerful Jack Reacher can likely beat? These are also the stipulations:
1) has to be a combat or action oriented characters. So no "he can beat the cast of Seventh Heaven" since that should be kind of obvious.
2) has to be a named or prominent enough characters. So no Jack can beat random mooks/goons who got taken out in 5 seconds by "insert character" in "insert show".

I was mostly thinking of shows here, but guess I shouldn't limit it too much to one format. Let start with some I'm pretty confident he can beat:
- Gabriella from Xena as much as I love the character, I have to be fair here
- Dunkin the Tall from the GOT spinoff Knight for the Seventh Kingdoms as he's the first GOT character I legitimately like. However GOT despite being fantasy based is also surprisingly very grounded with their combat aspect.

Who else more strongers/powerful than them can he likely beat?

Is Jack Reacher able to beat his other Amazon book counterparts Alex Cross or Jack Ryan? Haven't seen either of those two shows to know for certain. It's weird when I can't even say with full confidence if Jack Reacher can beat Jenna Ortega's Wednesday since Tim Burton had the Addams Family channel their inner Batman for the show. Actually the main writers and showrunner for Wednesday were the showrunners for Smallville (where Alan played Aquaman LOL), so the analogy is fitting here.

Guess Emerald Fennel had a point when she said Carey Mulligan's character from Promising Young Woman isn't a superhero who can beat up a guy twice her size in regards to that movie.
