A master of martial arts like Daredevil, Iron Fist, Cap, Bats, etc should be able to overcome much stronger foes via the use of leverage and joint locks, even manipulating the fingers in locks is very painful and can subdue an opponent like Rorschach grabbing the little fingers of the thug through the bars of his Prison cell.
One of the most controversial examples is Black Panther putting Silver Surfer in an armbar, although this was laughed at by most fans i thought it was fantastic.
As the great mathematician and physicist Archimedes said about leverage- "Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I can move the Earth."
