Out of all the heroes (Only heroes), who is a good matchup for Cage?

Uriel005
I think Collin if he had more experience under his belt would be a good matchup.

Batman eventually cut the venom tubes but apparently at that point he didn't need them and can activate the venom in his system at will. So think about a bane sized roided out 10 year old child without the venom dependency to make him stronger and you've pretty much got him pegged.

Bendis writing is all the help he needs.

best match for cage from DC is Iron Munro. same level of strength, a little more durable but not much. he does have a healing factor that Cage lacks however. if taken from the same Age ( Munro being a retconned replacement for GA Superman who never increased in power like the real one did) Cage would make up for that difference in better combat skill ( Munro's skill got a lot better later on as he worked for government agencies IIRC)

Atom Smasher maybe. I admit that I dont know enough about him, but from what i've seen, he seems to be in the same powerset. Again, I might be way off base.

I wish they would bring Iron Munro back. sad When was the last time we saw him?

Atom Smasher would beat Luke for the majority. Though he would work for it, so it could be a good match.

Tony Stark
Superman

I was talking about Cap.

Because of his writer, or because of Cap's power level?

He has his good and bad showings, but I always pegged Cap as closer to Superman then Cage level..

How about Damage?

At some point, I'm planning on checking out his solo series, mainly because The Ray's series ties into it and the Justice League Task Force. (It's not necessary to enjoy The Ray's series, but I skipped a lot of stuff in the 90's growing up, and like collect old back issues..)

Last time I remember was from JMS' Superman: Grounded series.

So like a couple of years ago, unless I'm missing some other showing after that.

I stopped reading that. What did he do on panel?

CosmicComet
It's been awhile, I remember him fighting Livewire, like breaking through some forcefield she made.

After that he helps in rehabilitating her.

Livewire is pretty uber, yeah? Seems like a decent feat.

Beastboy's an interesting one.

Nightwing gets crushed, and Hourman probably crushes all but Bendis Cage (Miraclo pills are supposed to make him around class 100.)

rougeredmage
really i would have thought people would argue that nightwing would have an advantage because of superior marial arts abilities ?

iscaremonkeys
he beats beastboy imo

Charlotte DeBel
Grace Choi. Always viewed her as Asian gender-flipped Luke Cage. Same powers, basically, and same attitude.

What if Beast Boy shrinks and attacks his inside.

golem370
Or attack him as a germ. If he implode would that just effect his insides or his skin too.

Never thought about her like that. Interesting.

Used to think DCnU Aquaman, but he just keeps getting more beastly.

Even Bendis power Cage would get his @$$ whooped by current Arthur.
