A surprising number! I believe in the no-reload community every class has been shown to be able to beat SCS/Ascension solo except Druid. I forget exactly why, I think it's something to do with their equipment restrictions. Someone took a Totemic Druid all the way up to the final battle but ultimately fell at that final hurdle. Though some of the runs were prior to EE, so if they depended on old tricks that no longer work in EE like Hardiness-stacking they might no longer be viable. But I wouldn't be surprised if people found out a way to make it work anyway, there's some seriously talented people in there.

As for a strict "who's better lategame?" though I think the fighter/mage multi actually really comes into its own in the super lategame, where they benefit from having access to fighter HLAs as well as mage ones and have already reached caster level cap so they don't suffer as much from the relatively "dead" epic mage levels. I think they're more dependent on hitting XP cap though; they don't get any level 9 spells until 6M XP, whereas a Zerkage or Kensage would have had access to them far sooner.
