Doom vs Fantastic Four
Justice League vs Darkseid
Superman vs Superman Revenge Squad
Thor vs Wrecking Crew
Avengers vs Thanos
Siderman vs Sinister Six
Superhero fights are rarely between two groups with the same number of combatants. Let's bring this element to City of Titans with APvP; one player versus a group. The player playing on a team of his own would be given a large stat bonus, powerful AoE effects, and control abilities similar to raid bosses. On the down side these super abilities would have long casting times that the players on the multiple player side would be able to dodge.
Would you want to play this?
In an Arena, and optional, maybe.
In Open-World PvP - absolutely not.
It's usually possible in MMOs to beat such odds through skillful gameplay.
There's a lot of team-on-team and solo-on-solo action in the comics too:
Fantastic Four vs The U-Foes
Justice League vs Crime Syndicate
Superman vs Lex Luthor
Thoe vs Loki
Avengers vs Masters of Evil
Spiderman vs The Green Goblin
and as an added bonus: X-Men vs The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
I think any number of heroes should be allowed to fight any number of villains, within team/league size limits and as long as it's voluntary and not forced upon anyone. In CoX, you had entire zones where any number of vindictive jerks could gang up on selected individuals if they wanted to. I'm not a PVPer so I never saw the draw to that, but people did it. Personally I liked Warburg and Bloody Bay a lot better in years 7-8 when I was usually the only person there and could solo for jellomen or nukes.

Ok, I think many-on-one could be a fun way to let lower levels PVP vs higher or max levels! I mean, that actually sounds like a ball to me from both sides.
I think the higher levels would be more eager for the match up, but maybe not because even thought they are more powerful, a team of lower level heroes will have the ability to act as force multipliers for eachother.
I dunno, sounds like a hoot and hard to take too seriously to enjoy. If I were the high level one and got stomped I'd think "well, there were just too many of them" or "they coordinated too well", and if my team lost I'd just think "well, they were just too powerful at that level". Either way I'd have a hard time taking it seriously enough to get all cranky about it--I mean, it's innately uneven and just for fun.
FIGHT EVIL! (or go cause trouble so the Heroes have something to do.)
Just to clarify, this is an additional option. It's not a replacement for traditional pvp.
