Hmmm...

Interesting fight... thumb up

I need to see more from both combatants honestly, but based on what we've seen, I think Drax is strong to enough to generate enough force to score a KO...

Drax was strong enough to overpower Groot afterall...

Supermutant
good fight leaning towards Drax

Khazra Reborn
Drax walked away from a space ship crashing on his face, Luke was in a coma from a shot gun blast.

TheVaultDweller
If you are talking about when Rocket crashed a ship into him and Ronan, he did not walk away. Drax was KO'd. Gamora had to drag him out of the rubble. And the shotgun was a low-end PIS showing, compared to some of his other feats. Luke tanked that bar explosion without any signs of injury or trouble.

Drax doesn't have enough feats. Luke wins by default.

This may be true this fall whenever Luke netfilx's series is out, but as of today their feats are about even enough to compare.

Not true. Luke has tanked an explosion, Drax has not. We've seen Luke survive gunshots, knife thrusts, getting a bottle smashed on his head... all without him flinching. Can't say the same for Drax. We don't even know if Drax can survive getting shot.

Luke has also gone toe to toe against another super powered individual and dominated her. Drax has gone up against a superpowered individual and got completely destroyed.

Drax survived a alien plane crash landing on him at high speeds and an explosion right after that. That's better than anything Luke has done his entire TV series.

What explosion? The ship crashed, and tore up some stuff and caused some fire/blasts further down the ship, but there was no big explosion where Rocket impacted. Case in point, the other Guardians were also around, and none of them got caught in an explosion. No one other than Drax got KO'd, or seemingly even hurt. They just got tossed around a bit when Rocket's ship hit.

And Luke surviving the bar explosion, and literally walking out, is at least comparable to Drax being hit by the ship, considering Drax actually got KO'd. The explosion Luke tanked was strong enough that it sent Jessica flying across the street, and she was standing well outside the bar when it blew.

Also, how can you claim his feat is better than anything Luke has done in his series, when his own series has not even aired yet?

Very true Drax feats are comparable. And it does not matter how many times you state otherwise, you are still wrong.

Please watch the movie before you comment next time. I'll even make it will easy for you. @ 2:20 in video, Drax tanks automatic gunfire at point blank range and destroys the drone with his bare hands.

Jessica didn't want to fight him and knew that his mind was being controlled. Ronan had armor and Drax was drunk. Its actually a durability feat that Drax could take a heavy amount of damage before almost drowning to death from that beating. Drax defeated super-powered Korath. Korath blows was denting and chipping whatever alien metal the ship was made out of, and he smacked Drax's head into that metal. Before that Korath was effortlessly tossing Star Lord around. Drax also ripped that metal implant out of Korath's skull.

Some of Korath's other feats are taking the shots from Star Lord's twin blasters, and getting quickly up. Also he can jump pretty far and land w/out injury. So Drax beating Korath so quickly is an impressive feat.

Next time actually watch the movie b/c I may not be around to help you and stop your embarrassment.

Funny how you think I'll get embarassed when the clip you posted showed the drone firing guns AWAY from Drax. I repeated the clip multiple times, the drone's guns were pointed down and not shooting at Drax.

I do admit that I forgot about Drax beating Korath, so that's plus points for him. He still doesn't have the durability feats of Luke though, and until you come up with something more solid I'd advise you to keep the adolesccent insults at bay.

TheLordofMurder
Drax also overpowered Groot during that casino scene when he was on top of Groot punching him...

I think Groot would beat Cage handily...

Scoobless
Cage is going to have a finger across his throat.

All Cage has to do is say some metaphors to confuse Drax.

"Christmas? What is Christmas? And why is it sweet? Is it food?"

But seriously, I did feel like Drax's feats of beating Korath and surviving the ship impact were relatively comparable to Luke dominating Jessica and tanking that explosion, which is why I felt this would be an interesting match up.

FrothByte
Can we honestly say that Drax is bullet proof?

On the other hand, Drax's fighting ability craps all over Luke's.

KingD19
We can even look at direct comparisons. Like in the prison break scene, that guy Drax headbutts still turns his head with a punch. And he appeared to be a "Terran". So a normal guy snapped Drax's head to the side even if he was okay. Luke on the other hand has people breaking their hands hitting him, and literally ignoring punches and bullets.

Draz wins, and frankly it's not all that close.

Draz might, but Drax; I don't think so.

KuRuPT Thanosi
LOL King. Based on what does Luke Cage wins? Second, and I believe this is true, you do read comics right? How would a fight between them in comics go?

Scoobless
Actually not that easy to gauge Drax's strength in the comics.

TheVaultDweller
Well, his strength level and powerset have gone through a few adjustments/fluctuations over the years. But in anyways, these aren't the comic versions. These are the MCU versions.

wakkawakkawakka
So how is Drax supposed to hurt Luke? While he is definitely the berger fighter, Drax does not have a wealth of strength feats to draw from that are beyond Luke's ability to tank.

Based on Luke Cage being clearly bulletproof whereas Drax is not? Based on Drax not having enough strength feats to show he can KO Luke?

It's a hard fight no doubt, but Luke has more durability feats than Drax and the feats with seen from Drax doesn't seem convincing that he can takeout Cage.

Not really. I would say it's that inconsistent at all. I'd say there is fluctuation to be sure, but even his lowest curbs Luke with ease

Drax's lowest comic strength was at 40 tons IIRC. Luke Cage currently is at 50 tons.

KuRuPT Thanosi
Luke is currently 50 tons? Really?

Interesting, but I think a little inaccurate. For example, they have mystique listed as only an Athlete... There is more wrong with the list, but that is one example

I'm open to other valid sources if they're available. Besides, I wasn't aware that comic Mystique was supposed to have superhuman strength. As far as I know, she's supposed to just have high end human physical capabilities. But then again I haven't been following comics for years.

KuRuPT Thanosi
In comics she performs feats about simply an "athlete" . They also have Cap down as a 800 to 1200 pounds. He's easily done better in comics. Not really a big fan of that list.

tkitna
Drax kills him. Cage didnt look impressive at all in Jessica Jones.

Somebody who is worried about bullets wouldn't had ripped a drone apart with his bare hands.

And I don't have to "come up" with anything. You are the one stating that Cage's feats in Jessica Jones are so much better than Drax. Yet, most people in this thread feel otherwise. I only said that their feats are comparable.

And thinking about this some more, Drax actually has the more impressive combat feats, beating two super-powered individuals in Korath and Groot. Even his beatdown from Ronan displays how tough he is and the high level of damage he can take.

On the other hand, Cage has not fought anyone on Groot, Korath, or Ronan's level. The bullet-proof, glass-proof, etc, issue is just an attempt to side track b/c neither combatants uses guns or glass lol.

Drax survived a space ship crashing directly onto him and Ronan. Immediately before that he was the first one shown to be up and quickly charged at Ronan, after Ronan hit the group with a force blast from his infinity stone fused hammer.

Even when Ronan was beating a drunk Drax, Drax got immediately up from being knocked back hard into a metal door.

So it was true when I said they had comparable feats thus far. And Drax even have the better combat feats which matter the most here, since they are in combat here.

A non-drunk Drax beat Korath decisively and relatively quickly with his bare hands. And Korath is either greater than or equal to Luke Cage in every stat.

Korath took twin blasters directly in the chest from Star Lord and was quickly back up surprising him. He was strong enough to toss Star Lord around without must effort and he can jump great distances. He also can punch through metal w/o any damage.

So FrothByte what feats does Luke Cage have from his appearances in Jessica Jones that make him so much better than Drax?

Before I address your blurb, will you admit first that Drax didn't tank gunfire from the drone?
