Who wins?

Blade gets chumped by everyone on KMC. I can't see why this would be much different.

KMC is racist then

Blade should win, but he is like the shuma Gorath of high street/low meta characters

Harbinger
Not sure how Blade would take out someone like MN.

Then again, I'd apply that some line of reasoning to most street levelers.

Closer fight then when these two usually get paired up, because in this case they are both in the same boat where they have very little in the way of practical feats or wins over legitimate characters.

Right now I'm thinking Midnighter narrowly squeaks ahead because he has legitimate healing factor feats.

Mindset
Blade and Midnighter have both been proven to beat Wolverine 10/10 on kmc.

srankmissingnin
Maybe movie Wolverine... maybe... if it was two on one... maybe...

Golgo13
Midnighter.

Blade actually has slightly better speed feats, but not enough to win a majority.

Not really. Midnighter is sorely lacking in the speed feat department, and the half a dozen he has are pretty lame. Robin level lame. Skill also probably leaning Blade's as well, seeing as he has never got his ass kicked by a human level martial artist with a brown belt in jujitsu. Strength? Close to a wash, but Midnighter edges it out, and Mid's obviously has significantly better healing factor feats.

Harbinger
Reported for bagging on Robin.

He'll win, but just barely. His healing factor is better than Blade's... but it still isn't good enough to take an evisceration, or punctured vital organ and heal fast enough to keep him in the fight. Classic Mids would take 5.5 - 6 over Blade.

Midnighter.

I might back Blade, maybe.

DCnU? or Classic Mid?

DCnU get crushed. Classic would squeek out the majority imo

Trackz
I've only seen a bit of DCnU Midnighter. What has he accomplished? Anything close to using his teeth as bullets or kicking tank shells out of the air?

juggernaut74
Those two feats are better than any of Blade's imo, though Blade has some good ones.

Midnighter's best strength feat is ripping up a small section of railroad track, and bending it. Blade's is lifting the large demon above his head.

Speed is basic bullet / arrow dodging for the most part for both of them, with some blitzes thrown in for good measure. Blade has more, and slightly better speed feats over all. It has also been stated on panel that Midnighter can sprint 24mph... which puts him three times slower than a Captain America level street.

juggernaut74
Cap can run the 40 in 3.2 seconds iirc, that's pretty fast.

And as for the feats Mids is slightly better in strength.

Yeah but he can run a full 3k at that speed.

Not impressed.

That's because it's not impressive... like 99% of Midnighter's feats, every other top street has better feats at a much higher volume of occurrence.

At his best he is a second rate Deathstroke.

Blade decapitates Midnighter while he's busy getting cornholed.

Don't forget tossing around demons and vampires like tennis balls

YFZ 350
And casually ripping metal doors from the hinges. Mids is strong but Blade is stronger if only slightly.

What are Usain bolt's speed feats?

facepalm

Midnighter has done better than that... f@ck the feat I cited already is better than that. Not to mention he has he as done everything you just mentioned... only on a slightly higher scale... about a dozen or so times.

Midnighter is stronger than Blade. No question.

Midnighter is stronger than Blade. No question. How can you see this fight being so close? Mids is going to stomp hard.

Midnighter is stronger, but only marginally so. Blade is faster, but only marginally so. Midnighter should eek out a win because he has better healing factor feats... but his healing factor isn't nearly good enough to warrant him stomping. Blade is more than capable of putting Mid down for the count if he lands a clean blow.
