A widely-used origin for versus clashes involving Goku includes the protagonists and antagonists from DC. The characters from DC possess exceptionally potent abilities and expertise, and as a result, a considerable portion of them could outmatch Goku.

Here’s a list of the seven most powerful DC villains who could potentially defeat Ultra Instinct Goku in an instant:
7Steppenwolf
The first DC antagonist on the roster is Steppenwolf. Undoubtedly, he ranks among the most formidable villains in the DC Universe, posing a significant menace that compelled the entire Justice League to unite.
It will be extremely hard for Goku, even with his Ultra Instinct, to bring down someone like Steppenwolf, who was able to hold his ground against the combined forces of Batman, The Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Wonder Woman.
Starro is one of DC’s most iconic villains and made its first appearance inThe Suicide Squadfilm. In the comics, it’s worth noting that Starro holds the distinction of being the very first adversary ever confronted by the Justice League.
To defeat the alien conqueror, Goku would require more than just Ultra Instinct, as Starro possesses the ability to generate smaller duplicates of itself that can seize control of any host it attaches to. If Starro manages to make contact with Goku, it could result in an instantaneous demise for the Saiyan warrior.
Trigon is a formidable antagonist within the DC Universe and a ruler of dark realms resembling Hell. He’s so strong that he poses a significant threat, Teen Titans even needed help from the Justice League to fight him.
So, if you’re thinking about Goku from Dragon Ball, he’d have a tough time facing someone as powerful as Trigon, who’s considered as the King of Hell.

4Superboy-Prime
Superboy-Prime was one of the most dangerous beings in the DC Multiverse for years. As a pre-Crisis Kryptonian, he possessed unimaginable strength. He could effortlessly shift planets from their trajectories, travel at speeds many times that of light, and achieve astonishing feats. Goku might accumulate the power to contend with him in a protracted struggle, but it would never reach that point.
In addition to his immense power, Superboy-Prime was a ruthless combatant. He would charge at Goku, potentially soaring right through him. If an actual skirmish ensued, Prime would strike Goku with a force that would reduce him to a pulp before he could even initiate his power-up, swiftly concluding the battle.
Doomsday is a formidable antagonist, distinguished for ending Superman, and his function in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice was precisely that, as the plot followed the renowned Death of Superman storyline.
Goku, while in his Ultra Instinct form, wins a victory over Jiren (temporarily), but he may never come close to challenging Doomsday, given that the villain constantly evolved during its battles with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
Darkseid is the God of Evil and one of DC’s greatest antagonists. While he doesn’t often engage in physical combat, when he does, he’s one of the most devastating fighters out there, capable of holding his own against nearly anyone. In addition to all of that, he possesses the Omega Effect and Omega Sanction eyebeams, assaults that track down their targets and usually only require one strike to incapacitate them.
Darkseid doesn’t exactly prefer to engage in hand-to-hand combat, though, so he’ll almost certainly just employ his potent eyebeams on the Saiyan. Even in his most potent form, the Omega Effect would annihilate Goku. If it came down to an actual clash, Goku couldn’t endure Darkseid’s assaults long enough to power up.
1The Anti-Monitor
The Anti-Monitor is one of the most powerful antagonists in the comics the DC heroes have ever faced. He has wiped out entire universes using his anti-matter energy and showcasing supremacy over pre-Crisis Kryptonians. In a showdown, Goku would likely find the Anti-Monitor overwhelming.
While Goku has faced many powerful adversaries and could potentially gather the strength to defeat the Anti-Monitor given enough time, such a scenario is highly improbable. The Anti-Monitor’s formidable arsenal would likely overpower Goku before he has a chance to power up.
