Marvel vs. DC!

[cqb101]

The comics board is kind of slow, so I thought I'd try to liven it up. I thought we could have a thread where we can post different comic character match-ups and discuss who we think would be the victor. So, without further ado.....


Hawkeye
http://www.greatlakesavengers.com/bios-hawkeye.jpg

VS.

Green Arrow
http://www.metronews.ca/uploadedImages/green-arrow_ARTICLE.jpg



My vote: Hawkeye. IMO, their archery skills are about evenly matched, so it would come down to tactical strategy and hand to hand combat, and Hawkeye outmatches Green Arrow in both of those.

[Silent FOx]

Dead Guys always tend to lose , so green arrow gets my vote :P

[Weapon X]

Deadpool.

VS.

DeathStroke.
http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/2784/deathstroke0bi.jpg

Personally, I like Deadpool alot more, he's the "Merc with a Mouth". He focuses on two things:


Killing people.
Making obscure pop culture references.


I don't really know much about Deathstroke, like alot of DC characters, besides the JLA.

[Silent FOx]

Deadpool's non-stop humor wins over Slade's White haired brain-power.
I may be a bit biased, Cable/Deadpool is one of my favorite currently running comics.

[cqb101]

Dead Guys always tend to lose , so green arrow gets my vote :P


Hawkeye isn't did anymore.:P For that matter, he may have never even died.

Oh, and Deadpool. That's bias speaking, BTW. He's my favorite character.:D

Oh, and it's time for the inevitable.....

Captain America
http://www.superherostuff.com/Biographies/captain_america3.gif

VS.

Batman
http://www.fi-donc.nl/artwork/wb/CP1290%20Mythology-Batman.jpg

[Spitfire]

I gota go with Batman....I just like Batman. He's darker and he doesn't look homosexual.

[Weapon X]

Cap Vs. Bat's, hmmm, that's a little tough...

I gotta go with Bat's on this one, just for his inner strength, his only real problem would be Caps shield. :P

And The darker costume helps Bat's "hiding in the shadow's", that is If they fight at night.

[Jester]

http://home.att.net/~raidcon/drstrange.jpg
Dr. Steven Strange
vs.
http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/h/hellblazer2.jpg
John Constantine

[Dr. Doom]

hey, I've got a great idea. Why don't we let more than one person answer before posting new ones?


I dunno enough about GA, Hawkeye, Strange, or Constantine to comment on those.

However, the other two, I can comment.

Batman over Cap any day. He's Batman. Nuff said.

As far as Wade vs. Slade...


....Now, Deadpool is easily one of my favorite comic book characters. HOWEVER, Slade is just SO badass that he's find like 25 million openings while Wade was wise-cracking. The dude's brainpower is nuts and there would be almost no contest from a nutjob like Deadpool. Other than that, they're pretty much an even match. Slade even has the healing factor.


Also, Doom over Richards.

[cqb101]

Strange would easily take out Constantine. Strange is one of the post powerful people in the marvel universe.

[DrSpengler]

Strange would easily take out Constantine. Strange is one of the post powerful people in the marvel universe.

Yeah, absolutely.

I think a better competetor for Dr. Strange would be Zatara or Dr. Fate.

In regards to the ones already posted:

Green Arrow vs Hawkeye: I'd vote Green Arrow, but that's mostly due to ignorance on my part in regards to Hawkeye. All I really know about him is that he was too stupid to take off a flaming quiver filled with explosive arrows. So Green Arrow gets the win from me.

Batman vs Cap: Tough one. They were paired up in the DC vs Marvel debacle from the mid 90's, but niether really won. In the single issue they show that Batman won, but in the TPB collection they changed the dialogue so that Cap won. Whacky. I think they're fairly evenly matched, so it's really a hard choice. Batman has no super powers and he's taken out some serious threats on his own. So I'd go with him, but it's a close call.

Deathstroke vs Deadpool: Deathstroke's the better warrior for certain, but Deadpool can't die. So he'd just keep coming back until EVENTUALLY he wins.

Superman



VS.


http://www.immortalthor.net/bio-hyperion.jpg

Hyperion

[Anarky]

GA vs. Hawkeye: Green Arrow. I dunno, I just love Ollie. Especially after his speech in the first JLU-episode.

Bats vs. Cap: Batman. I never really liked Cap, I guess he is too farfetched from a european point of view with all his patriotism and "Hooray USA"-talk.

Deathstroke vs. Deadpool: Slade. I just love his character so much (especially in IC). He's such an asshole. And he's really bad.

Strange vs. Constantine: I don't care.

Superman vs. Hyperion: Superman... He's the original after all. And he doesn't have a steelplate around his tummy.

[Dr. Doom]

As I said before, Slade has the healing factor too. They're evenly matched physically, but Wade is highly outclassed mentally. By no means do I think Slade could KILL him, but he could definately defeat him.

[cqb101]

Green Arrow vs Hawkeye: I'd vote Green Arrow, but that's mostly due to ignorance on my part in regards to Hawkeye. All I really know about him is that he was too stupid to take off a flaming quiver filled with explosive arrows. So Green Arrow gets the win from me.

That's not a very good example. That was horrible writing, and WAY out of character for hawkeye. As I said before, their archery skills are pretty evenly matched, Green Arrow might have the upper hand because of experience, though. When they realize neither of them could win by using their archery skills, it would come down to hand to hand combat in which Hawkeye has the upper hand. He's learned everything he knows from Captain America, arguably the best hand to hand combatant in the marvel universe.

As for Batman and Cap, I'm a huge Captain America fan, but I have to give this one to the dark knight. Batman is probably outclassed in strength and toughness, because Steve's a superhuman and Bruce isn't, but Bruse has enough gadgets and knowledge to pull off the win. Not to mention batman is a much dirtier fighter than Captain America.

I don't know very much about Hyperion, so I'm just going to say Superman because He's the original.

[KROW]

Hyperion has the same powers as Superman, save for the ice breath and x-ray vision. He's invulnerable, has super-strength, and has the ability to shoot atomic fire from his eyes. Hell, he's even the last of his kind on his home planet. He has an edge over Supes, though: he's super-violent and has a mean streak. I think this fight would be similar to Superman's bout with Doomsday.

[FireFly]

got to go with Sups on that now if it was sentry it would differunt

Ahh... Doomsday, great battle.

Unfortunately for Hyperion, Superman learned a great deal after his clash with Doomsday, so with that in mind I would have to sympathize with the Man of Steel.

[Raven]

Green A vs. hawk eye- I really dont know enough about hawk eye to say anything, I know ollie can pull off a few things, I just dont know anything about hawk eye, so Im keeping my mouth shut on this.

Deadpool vs slade After reading identity crisis, and seeing how slade works, he would make fast work of deadpool, while deadpool would be making a joke, slade would be slicing him apart.

cap vs batman no doubt in my mind that batman would win, sure cap would put up a good fight but Batman would fight dirty.

bullseye vs deadshot Bullseye would win, this fight would'nt last more then five seconds.

Superman vs hyperion Superman, supes would get his ass handed to him at the start but he would turn it around after he was done crying about everything.

DEADSHOT
http://www.brokenfrontier.com/img/2005/jan/DC/DeadshotCv5.jpg


got to go with my man Bullseye on this oneDeadshot would take bullseye if only because deadshot took the arrow through his neck to take down kyle.

the way i see the battle going is like this.. bullseye hits deadshot with a couple of throwing stars and some knives. deadshot falls. bullseye walks up to him thinking he has him. knells down to remove the mask.. and while doing so gets shot in his stomach by deadshot.

Sorry, but Bullseye isn't stupid enough to fall for a trap like that. Not to mention, Bullseye would gor for the kill. Bullseye wouldn't give up until there was no chance of Deadshot being alive.

Bullseye wins this with one hand tied behind his back.

[Jo269976]

Flash definetly!! :D

[cqb101]

Flash, hands down.

[Dr. Doom]

I really believe that The Flash has probably the most unlimitied, untapped potential out of anyone in the DC universe, based on the magnitude of his powers. Nobody has anything on such an epic scale.

[BartAllen]

Sorry, but Bullseye isn't stupid enough to fall for a trap like that. Not to mention, Bullseye would gor for the kill. Bullseye wouldn't give up until there was no chance of Deadshot being alive.

Bullseye wins this with one hand tied behind his back.I disagree, bullzeye has always been over confident. i still think deadshot takes him, but thats my opinion. its great that everyone has one. I know bullseye would go for the kill. thats why i said. walks over to him thinking he has him. you havent read a lot of stories with deadshot in them.


the flash can run just short of the speed of light without entering the speed force, quicksilver is fast, but only slightly faster then the speed of sound. and hasent he lost his powers anyway?

[Rikirk]

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/news/punisher/punisher-1.jpg

vs.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/Paul_Zero/Pan04.jpg

[Anarky]

Slade, all the way. He uses way more of his brain and he's a better fighter. And, in addition to that, he knows his enemies.

[Rikirk]

Cool...I got a bite:lol:

Slade huh,...I thought this one would cause a bit of uproar. I picked these two because *I* see certain similarities to both characters. Me..Ive always been a Marvel fan over DC, and have always been a Punisher fan. But the first time I saw Slade in a Teen titans eppisode, I thought Damn what a cool ass bad guy...they should all be this good..or bad..er..you know what I mean.

From what I know of Slade..yes he would use his intellect over Punishers brute force approach...But the Punisher is by no means a slouch in any sense of the word. Hes a former U.S. marine from Vietnam...I think he would be able to hold his own and put up a good fight. I dont know much of Deathstroke..but Slade has me wanting to find out more and pick up a few of his issues.

This is a hard call for me..Im thinking Punisher would just overwhelm Slade and do anything possible to beat him...even if it means using every underhanded trick in the book...but I get the feeling Slade would do the exact same thing. One things for sure...both of these characters are totally ruthless. The reason why I like the characters in the first place.

[Anarky]

Slade uses 90% of his brain, has superior reflexes and is a master in hand-to-hand combat as well as weapons. And the Slade on TT is a wuss, his comic book counterpart is way better. Read "Identity Crisis" for a good example of his powers. He takes out quite a lor of (former) JLA-members without even breaking a sweat. He even tries to steal GL's ring and that was the only part where he actually took a risk.

Deathstroke is far more dangerous than the Punisher. But I do enjoy reading Punisher-comics as well. Especially the Marvel-Knights series from a few years back.

[Dr. Doom]

Man, **** Punisher. I've hated him for a very long time now. Just some crazy asshole running around with guns and everyone's so friggin' terrified of him.

[Anarky]

The Punisher is actually quite cool. The stories he's in are sometimes really sad and depressing. I mean, even the bad guys in his comic books are depicted as being human, he doesn't kill just any character, they get some depth.

The best issue with the Punisher ever was the one where he went after a former army colleague of his. That was probably one of the best written comic books I've read in a long time.

Yeah, Garth Ennis has really revitalized the character. To be honest, prior to Ennis' take-over, the Punisher really sucked.

First he was just a lame Dirty Harry/Death Wish knock-off, then he had laser-guns built by Micro, then that whole "Team Punisher" crap, then he started fighting demons as a bounty-hunter for God...

Just awful.

The Punisher doesn't fight super villains. At least, not very often. He fights human beings, and he's a freaking killing machine, so his enemies have every reason to be afraid of him.

If you read but one Punisher story in your life, I recommend either "Welcome Back, Frank" or "In the Beginning". The former is what made the Punisher cool again but had certain content guidelines while the latter is a great deal more brutal and shows just how psycho the Punisher can be.

[ZariusTwo]

You're neglecting his kickass 1980s' run, where he made everybody, Spody, Cap, Daredevil, his bi*ch.

Daredevil Shooting Him.

Frank Miller.

'Nuff said.

Yeah, I think that was a little before my time. The Punisher *I* grew up on, unfortunately, was the sci-fi laser gun-version and the god awful battle van Team Punisher years.

At least he cut that damn ponytail.

[comixfan]

I'm not too familiar with some of the DC characters that've been mentioned, but I can give my best opinion on who I believe will win.:)


Hawkeye VS Green Arrow: I have to give it to Hawkeye on this one, because he was in the Secret Wars (an interesting comic series to check out, BTW) and anyone who can hold up as long as he did would survive a fight against Green Arrow.

Deadpool VS DeathStroke: Not too familiar with these guys.

Captain America VS Batman: I would say that Captain America is the best fighter in this match, since he has superhuman qualities. However, Batman has handy gadgets, strong intelligence, and excellent combat skills (not to mention, he once went up against Superman when Poison Ivy brainwashed the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight was left to defend himself). Cap's got a shield and Batman's got some freaky wings. I have to give it to Batman on this one.:D

Doctor Strange VS Constantine: I can't answer this one, since I haven't read either of their comics yet. But anyone who has a complicated background like Constantine's would evidently be the strongest in battle. Of course, that's just one man's opinion.;)

Superman VS Hyperion: First of all, who the heck is Hyperion? Never mind. My money's on Supes, anyway. No one (not even the Hulk himself) could beat Superman...well, okay, no one except for Doomsday.

Bullseye VS Deadshot: Colin Ferrell convinced me that you could not wear a costume and still be the deadliest man alive. However, looking at how Bullseye functions in the comics (which is no different from the movie), it doesn't matter what costume you're wearing...you're still the dangerous weapon the world has ever seen! So I would have to go with Bullseye...'nuff said!

Cardiac VS Metallo: Not too familiar with Metallo, but Cardiac can't even keep his heart steady more less stand 15 minutes in a fight. Nevertheless, Cardiac is still a challenge.

Quicksilver VS The Flash: If I'm not mistaken, Quicksilver is Magneto's son, right? If he is, then I'll go with him in this fight, because anyone who is a child of Magneto would be hard to beat. Of course, The Flash is the fastest superhero in comics today, and with super-speed on your side, there's no way you can lose.

The Punisher VS Slade: Need I say more?

[Dr. Doom]

It's The Flash vs. Quicksilver, not the Flash vs. Quicksilver and Magneto. I'm not even sure Magneto would make a difference, but it seems kind of pointless factoring that in.

[FireFly]

I liked the battle van.......

Punisher Vs slade punisher if armed with the right gear would own slade (he did take out jigsaw in the iron-man armor in the game)but with the healing factor he would have to cut off slades head (same way with wolvie) to truely win so I hate to say but slade would win.
how about

It was pointless, and I'm sorry about that. I'm only familiar with Quicksilver through Magneto, which was the only reason why I brought him up; I didn't mean to include him into the fight. But, if you're curious...I really think Quicksilver could stand a chance (with or without Magneto's assistance).:)


The X-men

Just look at all who's in this picture and you'll know my answer for this particular battle.;)

[ZariusTwo]

You know what I detest? That Marvel insist Juggernaught should always either be an ally or a reluctant ally that only occasionly turns evil every three years.

...I hate the fact a great character like Xorn no longer turns out to be a great peice of duplicity by a Magneto on drugs.

[DrSpengler]

Well, I thought Juggernaut's switch into a good guy was handled pretty well in Dominant Species. The issue where he and Sammy go to Cain's step father's old house was probably the most moving Juggernaut story I've ever read.

Granted, I haven't read any of the follow-up stories, so I don't know how well he's been treated as a good guy.

[FireFly]

juggernaunt is still a good guy and is in new excalibur i hate that must of the stuff chunk austen wrote is hated by most x-fans but the crap chris chamont is doing right now is loved by the x-fan crazy

ok gray's end is readable but the savage land arc a few months back not so much

[BartAllen]

Read "Identity Crisis" for a good example of his powers. He takes out quite a lor of (former) JLA-members without even breaking a sweat. He even tries to steal GL's ring and that was the only part where he actually took a risk.
Im sorry, and this may sound bad, but that is the worst portrayal of the older JLAers Ive ever read. No way in hell is slade fast enough to catch the flash like that. and the way kyle was written was just lame. kyle has always used his ring in fights. he rarely throws punches. the way he got zatana made sense, but the rest was just terrrible.

...Being a Jordan fan, I thought it ruled, you also have to remember at the time DC comics were REALLY giving Kyle a thorough beating to make Hal look stronger, considering he was about to be reborn any moment

[Anarky]

Yeah, the GL-thing was rather disappointing, but the rest all made sense. He kept the Flash running around mines just long enough to draw his sword and stab him. He cut off Hawkman's wings (which was probably the most badass thing I've seen in a long time) and disarmed Ollie.

Zatanna should be able to cast spells without saying them, but that depends on the writer, I guess.

Now that adds a new twist to the story. Well, let's just say, for saving grace, that Slade had some sort of Supersword. It still was a cool thing to see, despite the fact that it's now somewhat spoiled.

well. if the sword was made out of promethium. the dc universe version of adamantium. then that could explain his being able to cut the strap on hawkmans wings.

[Jester]

Sorry to psudo-necro post, but I just had a thought. I was watching my recently aquired Batman: TAS season 1 DVD set, and there were several episodes with a villian I never was big on until Batman: begins and re-watching BM:TAS, by now you know I mean Scarecrow. so as more of a Marvel fan-boy, i wondered how this Marvel vs. DC pairing would go...

Scarecrow: The Master of Fear

http://toybiz.com/image_dump/72009.jpg
Daredevil: The Man Without Fear

[FireFly]

DD hands downs scarecrows fear gas would most likly have no effect because
he chould not see whats going on....now scarscrow vs scarecrow(marvel) is what i want to see

[The Stryker]

Jester knows why I think Scarecrow would have Double D in a pinch.

unless Daredevil is a robot, there is no way that he could be completely 100% without fear.

[Dr. Doom]

Basically, the way I see it is this. DD would just hear a bunch of crazy **** since he can't see. And since radar/sonar is done with sound waves, that'd mess up his crazy 6th sense. So if and only if SC got the gass off on him, I think DD would be screwed.

[Mobius One]

Scarecrow would most definitly **** up Daredevil. He doesn't need to see to have fear. The gas would screw with him mentally just like it does to everyone else, and then DD would be absolutely helpless.

[KROW]

Has there ever been a story focusing on the fact that Daredevil is scared of anything at all? The only thing I could fathom is reliving his past with Karen Page.

You know what I'd like to see? DC Scarecrow versus Ghost Rider. Give ol' Professor Crane a challenge.
