Who wins?

Eternal Idol
Archangel rips Midnighter to shreds.

warren

Archangel hasn't been doing to well in direct confrontations...Fantomex beat on him but had no way to really kill him. Psylocke could've killed him but decided against it. Wolverine almost gutted Warren but was fooled and blasted. In the preview for the next issue Fantomex is beating on Archangel again.

As is relevant to the fight, any of those three would likely beat on Midnighter too.

Yeah, we avoid ABC logic and all, and I haven't seen what went down between Fantomex and Archangel, but I can believe that F's misdirection could lead Warren into danger. And saying that, say, Betsy could have killed Warren isn't actually saying a lot, because she's clearly on another level from anybody competing in this match, so...

guy222
warren also has the celestial death seed which isn't contunity because he feared the celestials arriving saying that is being 'guided' by the golden celestial

warren wins

Eon Blue
'Nighter

Scoobless
Midnighter

Warren has pretty much lost every direct hand-to-hand match up except against sabretooth, CIS prevented characters from kill him. He really hasn't been impressive at all. Fantomex didn't even use his misdirection.

nah, archangel showed he was invulnerable to fantomex's attacks and let genocide dispose of him so he could continue changing the world

in the fourth scan fantomex uses a "sentient bullet"* and landed a headshot to no lethal effect so....he really can't hope to do any more than that.

(* the bullet was molded from the skin of a mutant who had "conscious skin", so one would assume he can tell the bullets where he wanted them to end up or they understand who they are intended to kill and change course accordingly) Originally posted by psycho gundam

yeah actually it did. as you'll see here, archangel left genocide when he went for the life seed upon the other platform.

(note* archangel tanks unchecked energies that have razed an entire town to nothing among other feats that spells defeat for morbius )

genocide cannot fly, when he needs to be moved he gets a lift from archangel so...

even if that's entirely true, he evolved beyond that in the span of the last several issues. Originally posted by psycho gundam
this guy has bullet-dodging also

big grin

Trackz
Fantomex has pretty much beaten him in every hand-to-hand fight but he just has no way to kill ArchAngel.

Wolverine is on the verge of killing ArchAngel in all of their fights and then doesn't for plot purposes.

Psylocke is in the same boat.

psycho gundam
the common denominator being that archangel is naturally above them huh?

you can say it

--------------------

he got a lot more powerful as the arc progressed, so signs of "weakness" an issue ago were pretty much off the table the issue hence, for example any time wolverine looked like he had a chance were trashed when he stabbed archangel and owned himself in the process in the last issue

tiamut has been guiding warren

just don't see mids winning here

Trackz
read uncanny x-force #18, archangel definitely wins.

he only had one weakness so his fighting prowess was irrelevant, but as you can see he still got the job done. his power makes up for the limited skill basically

iceman24567
