Doctor Doom vs. Invisible Woman
Susan Storm-Richards, the Earth-616 original. In this site's ratings, classic Doctor Doom wins 48% of their one-on-one fights, so it is close to a coin flip.
Fight rules: both fighters at their peak, no preparation, no allies, only their own powers and personal gear. A win is a knockout, a restraint they can't escape, or a forced surrender. The percentages are fan estimates, not official information.
Doom's edge
Every counter in his anti-FF vault: a mist that shows invisible foes (FF #199), sonic emitters that shut down her force fields (FF vol. 6 #8), sorcery, and the Ovoid mind swap he once used to take her body (FF #508).
Invisible Woman's edge
The power Doom himself called the greatest of the four (FF #400): fields that have taken Class 100 blows and smashed a Celestial, invisibility he can't follow without help, and fields she can place inside a target.

Sue Storm grew up in Glenville, Long Island, and met Reed Richards when he rented a room from her aunt. Cosmic rays on Reed's flight let her bend light around herself and project psionic force fields, and the Invisible Girl the team once treated as its weakest member became the Invisible Woman, by many measures its most powerful, after Psycho-Man twisted her into Malice (FF #280–284, 1985). Doom has delivered her daughter and named the baby Valeria (FF vol. 3 #54, 2002), possessed her body (FF #508, 2004), made her his wife on Battleworld (Secret Wars, 2015) and, in FF #400 (1995), called her the most powerful of the four. In 2019 she answered him in front of the whole world, turning his armor invisible during his own execution broadcast and exposing his scarred face (FF vol. 6 #8–9). She has led the team, fought beside the Avengers, and punched Dormammu (One World Under Doom #5, 2025).
