single-word-requests

Is there a word that can describe something or someone that always seems to win when a challenge arises?

Example:

JP Morgan Chase is BLANK in the banking industry.

Best Answer

The word I'd use is dominating:

If something is dominating, that means it has a powerful and commanding position. If your team is dominating on the basketball court, you're not only winning, you're outplaying your opponents.

Also:

most powerful, important, or influential

For an example of it in use see Wikipedia:

The Big Four is the colloquial name for the four main banks in several countries, where the banking industry is dominated by just four institutions and where the phrase has gained currency.

I know this is going to sound very prosaic, but how about "friend"?

"You've Got A Friend"

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
.
You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.

Some possible ideas for you:

A go-to player:

She's the team's go-to player [=she is the player that the team relies on] when they need to score late in the game.

You can also simply state that X is a most important player (MIP) or most valuable player (MVP) for the team.

The teams that rely heavily on one man to win a match are called one-man teams:

With Neymar gone, suddenly Brazil’s ‘one-man team’ lacks a man. (source)
