There are a few good examples from Grant Morrison's JLA run:

1: The white Martians. Supes gets one, Flash gets one, Lantern gets one, Wonder Woman gets one...Bats gets the other four.

2: The Key. Takes out the entire roster. Gets punked by Green Arrow II.

3: Darkseid. Kills Superman, kills Batman, kills J'onn, pretty much wipes out every superhero left. Gets taken down by Green Arrow II and the Atom.
