Guys if you want to make a good case about Michael and Alice taking down Danica, you have to at least provide the exact circumstances and explain how her opponent will corner her, how their powers will counter Danica's defenses (at least the ones she has shown, like the Kryq Shield) or how they will survive her attacks. That's the reason I said that Tiffany has a chance, because she can turn into light and light is massless so it stands to reason that she can completely avoid the "X marks the spot" attack, especially since it has a telegraph. Unless you can find interactions like that for other superhumans, claiming that she is overconfident, or that her enemies are more cunning, or whatever, isn't going to cut it.
You have to describe exactly how she will be trapped. For all her overconfidence, in MC vs Danica, even if she considered MC a weaker opponent, she kept her distance, killed her allies just on the suspicion that they could be a shapeshifted MC and even managed to react against the punch when MC turned into Oscar. You should never assume that Danica lacks for reaction time or that she is stupid.
There is no "smoke bomb" tactic without also having a way to force her to remain in the smock cloud. Unless you can explain how she will be forced to do that, then all she has to do is to backtrack a bit and she will do it safely because with the smoke, neither Alice nor Michael can target their ranged powers effectively.
That's the equivalent of saying "Oh Danica is easy, according to her fight with MC, her attacks aren't that effective against harder objects like wood and concrete, so if we put them inside a steel chamber and gas her, she shouldn't be able to do much". The effect may be plausible but that scenario isn't going to happen unless someone can mind control her or something.
If the point is to prove that Alice and Michael have a non-zero chance of winning, that's already true. You don't have to prove it. It doesn't matter what your powers are, as long as someone isn't completely invincible, there is always a chance for a miscalculation. Especially if we start using non-confirmed assumptions as facts, or external devices that may or may not work. For example even a Human against Malik has a non-zero chance if there is some object that supresses powers. Even that idiot Jared probably has a non-zero chance against MC if a scientist has created a bolt that is super effective against him.
I had way too many similar discussions in DnD forums, especially about the good old Fighter vs Wizard match up. The main argument was always that if the Fighter wins initiative, he will probably win. Someone would think that this means the matchup is 50-50 but it's not, because the chances an optimized fighter will win initiative against an optimized wizard are about 8%. Only the biased are persuaded with such generalities. A level 3, and one who already had her powers for years, is significantly stronger than Alice and Michael who are level 2 and had theirs for barely a few months. You will have to prove that they have something under their sleeve that is really capable of evening the odds, like surviving her powers without having to rely on special circumstances like a smoke bomb or Danica being asleep or something. It has to be straight forward.
Some examples that would give a significant advantage to the level 2, enough to even some odds, but are not confirmed to work that way.
1) Alice may be able to use her gravity powers to create a shield of debris, or even compressed air, that Danica has to destroy first before attacking her body directly. Danica isn't that good at destroying hard objects like wood and concrete with her Kryqs and depending on their thickness they are a good defense against "X marks the spot".
2) Tiffany may be able to get so bright that it's impossible for Danica to keep her gaze long enough to wound her mortally.
3) Michael may be able to use that red energy flare to completely obscure himself from her vision and he may be able to absorb the energy from Kryqs.
If something like that is true, then the level 2 has a fighting chance, but still has to overcome the massive power difference. Forget about flashbangs, ambushes and the like. Sure if Michael ambushes Danica, he has a better chance. What about if Danica ambushes Michael? What then? Prove that they at least have a fighting chance in a fair fight and then we can talk about the terrain.
