They have no Idea what the others powers are
Combined Stats, Powers and Experience

Q99
The former is far stronger/tougher and wins.

maxivitopowe
That isn't the deciding here though

pym-ftw
Bendis-man wins.

Let's pretend a competent writer is doing it... Say Liefeld. Ha I joke, I joke, I kid, I kid

You can never cut off Luke Cage's connection to the Bendispower. At best, you can only dampen it somewhat.

maxivitopowe
Lol

KingD19
Colossus' strength/durability/speed/skill amped by Midnighter's strength/durability/speed/battle computer/skill is a lot more deadly than Cage and Spidey mixed, especially in a forum fight.

Magnetic webbing followed by Spider Fu Cage-powered speedblitz then an anti-metal pellet cherry on top.
They'll be swipping Mindnitolossus off the floor.

Battle computer sneer

maxivitopowe
every action that Colosonite makes towards would cause SpidaCage to move elsewhere which would cause his battle computer to reroute...

has his battle computer ever been up against someone like Spidey?

maxivitopowe
but has he been up against someone like Spidey with his sort of prescience

The battle comp can't work wothout knowing of it because instead of "millions" of possibilities there could be billions or even trillions

DarkSaint85
He calculates billions, on average.

Then there was the time he was fighting a ship full of xenomorph like aliens, and it was calculating billions of calculations for every one of them.

Also:

I misspoke; it was a million opponents, and a million outcomes:

Way more.....but his computer is able to do it.

Whereas all Peter Cage's abilities would tell him is that an attack is coming, and he can(?) react to it. Wouldn't tell him the nature of the attack, especially since he has no idea what Midnitolossus can do.

Whereas Midnitolossus' powers (depending on the writer) work backwards, which is the most important thing.

So say the outcome is that he Door's Peter Cage's head off (very likely, as Midnitolossus is way more bloodlusted than Peter Cage).

This means Peter Cage should be standing at point X, on Peter's left.
This means Peter needs to jump left.
This means that Midnitolossus needs to throw a kick to make Peter dodge left.

Midnitolossus throws a kick at Peter. He dodges, and jumps left - right where the door is.

Maybe Peter doesn't dodge left, but jumps straight up? This is where the computer comes in. But it all works towards the final outcome, of Peter getting Door'ed.

Etc etc. In reality, if Midnitolossus figures out Peter has a low level presience power, he could use it to his advantage.

maxivitopowe
So there are no showings of him against it? The prescience I mean.

DarkSaint85
None that I can think of. There was the Renegade Doctor, I guess...and Seth potentially had it.

But the presience of the scale of Peter isn't really that much of an advantage, once Midnighter figures it out (and he would).

SamZED
Their abilities sort of cancel each other out. Both will see all the attacks coming. I doubt that the door work will work.

KingD19
Both will see attacks coming, but Midnighterlossus is stronger/more durable, and in the same ball park of speed and agility. Also much more vicious and brutal which will give him a serious edge.

maxivitopowe
Pete, especially WOTS, and Cage are a match for Midnighter and Colossus respectively and individually so it isn't that much if a difference

I made Midnighter's and Spidey's matches on purpose cos off the way I know Spidey can even the gap between them

KingD19
Cage is not a match for Colossus. He will get some good hits in and get overwhelmed.

DarkSaint85
Neither is Spidey really a match for a bloodlusted Mids.

SamZED
He is not a match, Spidey is his.. superior..

See what I did there?

Also the lack of strength and durability is compensated by SM's speed and agility. Plus Cage's durability is not that much below Piotr's. So its mostly strength against speed.
As for spider sense at its best it not just warns him of the attack but guides his body out of harms way as well as lets him sense the nature of the attack and where its coming from. And ever since he got his MA training it pretty much guides his attacks and counter attacks. Ill post some scans as soon as I get back from London.

Cage needs a better partner to fuse with.

London Schmondon....

With regards to speed, Midnighter has dealt with speedsters before. I wager it's the same way he will deal with spider sense - with his battle computer.

It's essentially a more extreme version of the spider sense, if (as I am taking it) it's the one that works backwards from a desired solution. The Spider sense is reactive - you are going to throw a punch with your right hand, so it will move you out of the way/block/dodge. Had I not thrown the punch, you would not have leapt in that direction.

With the battle computer, however, it can be used proactively. Your dodging of my initial punch merely set you up to be in a vulnerable position to get kicked, for example. Or door'ed.

Incidentally, the computer also tells him his opponents' enhancements etc. So he WILL know at a glance what Peter Cage can do.

SamZED
That's true but at the end of the day they'll be just trading attacks and there is no scenario where MN's attack can get undetected by ss. Even after MN calculates SM's movement to land a hit or open the door SM will still sense it and act accordingly. That's how he's able to keep his ditance and avoid multiple attackers coming from every direction. He's also dealt with speedster and teleporters. Even teleporters armed with guns who used to pop up behind him while pulling the trigger. That makes for a very interesting and even elegant fight. The difference is Spider-Cage has tech that can handicap Midnigholossus movement options givving Luke-Man an advantage.

Mshinu
Midnigholossus plays Spidercage like a fiddle setting him up for an attack he can`t avoid then BAM lights out.

But would it enable him to change direction, say in mid air?

I'm asking this because in my head, the scenario I am seeing is MN FORCES Peter Cage to commit himself to a certain movement. Much like a chess match, where the chess master has played the entire game backwards to the start..you can only have so many options before you HAVE to act according to how he's forcing you to act. Sure, you can see the trap being laid for you as clear as day, but you have no other option but to move your pieces as he has predicted.

Well of the top of my head I can think of two (there are a lot more) occasions when he's done exactly that. In mid air. And with his overall abilities and forewarning I dont see why not. And even when MN calculates what he needs to do there are so many options for him to put SM in a position where he can only move in one particular direction. MN is good but he's just one guy and itmakes it difficult to put someone in a corner figuratively speaking. Especially if this someone is Pete with his long established history of avoiding traps, attacks etc

Agreed. Problem for Peter Cage is, Mids has done it before, with a million bugs all out to kill him, and he was running his 'million outcomes' at the same time. Fighting one guy wouldn't be too much issue. Especially as the sense relies on instinct:

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_super/0/3853/1275757-spiderspeed.jpg

Yes, you might think I weaken my argument with that scan - but my point was that Mids' abilities are different from reading your opponent. Without thinking about it, and facing a guy like Mids, it would be relatively easy for him to trip up when switching himself off and fighting on instinct....

DarkSaint85
Midnighter #7 explains it brilliantly.

The entire comic is a one-shot, and takes place in reverse order, with 'The End'. And show how it all works backwards.

http://www.comicvine.com/midnighter-7-fait-accompli/4000-109153/

Also, maxitovepowe, it says how he uses TRILLIONS of calculations, not just millions or billions.

It doesn't matter if Midnighter get a lick in though...Spidey Pete will be durable enough to take it. Also, Midnighter is far away from being unhittable as well.

What if it wasn't a lick, though? Midnighter can see what enhancements Peter Cage has. He'll know a punch won't end the fight.

A door, however, would.

One A level martial artist can put up a fight and tag MN despite the computer. Same goes for Peteand his ss.
Still getting Pete in a position where he has no options to avoid an attack from a single opponent is no easy task.

http://imageshack.us/a/img802/360/21549735.jpg

And its not just instincts. Ever since his training he relies on MA skills. Spider sense merely makes him even more effective. Those villains all have spider powers BTW.
http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/1320/prv9725pg8.th.jpg

Here's a scan that falls well into this thread. No spider sense. An opponent with matching stats, MA training and most importantly the ability to KNOW future. Unlike MN who just calculates scenarios and makes them happen she knows EXACTLY what he's about to do and still cant land a single hit. Again, that's without Pete's spider sense and before he finished his training and he's not using any tech either.

Good scans, thumb up Didn't know about the Madame Web one, so thanks for that. I'll be busting it out next time I see a Spidey battle for sure.

See, I STILL have to disagree with it being equal to Mids. Similar, yes, but the crucial difference here is that Mids is actively pushing you towards the outcome that he has in mind. Every kick, punch or move is designed to set you up towards the final outcome.

Incidentally, how did that fight end?

@Dark...

If we look at fts, Spiderman spider sense outperforms Midnighters Prec...that's if we look at fts. Don't see how anyone would think Midnighters abilities is above Spidermans. Spiderman by far is one of the most unpredictable, UN-hittable character in comics and that includes when he is in the air.

OP, does Spiderlossus have webbing here.?

Again, I refer to the million bugs and a million outcomes:

Do we really think Spidey is THAT unpredictable that he can out smart a computer capable of running that many simulations in the midst of battle?

Or here, when Midnighter says how he performs trillions of variations....of the entire day. Not just of the next 10 or 20 seconds, but the entire day:

http://pics.livejournal.com/alchemy_hisoka/pic/007qcrw6.jpg

I'm assuming Peter Cage (not Spiderlossus) has his webbing. Which is why I assumed Midnitolossus had his doors etc.

That third image, is it from when he tooled White Rabbit and those other two (i can't remember who) when he was with Carly/Carli (can't remember which{I'm on my phone so image doesn't show up clearly})

I completely forgot bout the Madame Web showing and iirc DCNu Midnighter's powers work more like prescience know then they did before (this if coming from wikipedia so excuse me if in mistaken)

DarkSaint85
Oh wait, its DCnU Mids?

maxivitopowe
Nah just realised it makes it unfair

maxivitopowe
Nah just realised it makes it unfair and you've been arguing pre boot Mids anyway

maxivitopowe
So apart from bfr is there any other way anyone sees him winning?

KingD19
Colossus has shown he's strong enough to beat Spidey to a pulp(As the Phoenix, but he showed no amping while he did so). And he'd be strong enough to do the same to Spidey Cage, especially with Mids physical stats amping him.

There's also the fact that Midnighter+Colossus is a much bigger speed/agility boost than Spidey+Cage. Midnighter and Spidey are in the same speed class and agility range imo, and Colossus is pretty high up there as well, with his speed actually being enhanced in metal form and being shown on panel several times.

It probably won't be a quick fight, but Midnightlossus is physically higher.

maxivitopowe
That was the worst arguament that you could have used against Spidey

He stayed behind in a cave with 2 nigh unstoppable Gods and was the only one who managed to leave there conscious

KingD19
Colossus was holding back when he was beating on him. Magik and both of them knew he could have killed him at any time.

And you act like Spidey beat them or something. He used the fact that the Phoenix was corrupting their values and he made them turn on each other.

SamZED
Colossus was clearly amped by the Phoenix as well as the rest of them. Dont see how its relevant to this thread tbh especially with Cage's durability added. Plus Luke is pretty fast himself and I believe Spider-Cage would still have a speed advantage.

@DarkSaint Ill respond to your post later if you dont mind.

There was no evidence of physical amping on pretty much any of the Phoenix's part. All the power was through energy and matter manipulation.

Making whales with legs.

Taking all the weapons of the world.

Creating that giant citadel.

He was phoenix amped, but nowhere was it physically. The Phoenix isn't even known for physically amping it's host in that way.

He was phoenix amped, but nowhere was it physically. The Phoenix isn't even known for physically amping it's host in that way. And beating Thor to a bloody pulp with their bare hands. Even Emma Frost and Magik did a number on him. Magik is normally not strong enough to grab SM by his leg and swing him like a ragdoll. Each of Colossus' attacks (while held back) was doing more damage to Pete than random class 100+ hits are shown to do normally. In AvsX they didnt care much what Phoenix is known for. The four X-men were clearly amped physically.
