Combat Challenge is limited to marked opponents and by the limit to the amount of immediate actions per turn. Combat Superiority, however, is not.If a fighter is surrounded by eight opponents, and all of them provoke attacks of opportunity by running away, the fighter can attack every single one of them and any he hits, are stopped dead in their tracks. Marking is irrelevant in this situation.Attacks of opportunity are only limited by the amount of times you can attack a single target, not by how many times you can attack in a turn.Given that 4e is designed to accommodate the inclusion of more opponents, the likelihood is that your group is going to be up against multiple enemies in almost every combat encounter. Even solo's are recommended to have a few grunts around them to spice things up. This puts the fighter way ahead of the paladin as far as their role as a defender is concerned.</blockquote>
