Who wins?

I'm gonna call Beast in a close one in this great not seen billion times match up.
I'd be okay if proved wrong though.

I actually never have seen this match proposed anywhere, and am wondering why, for you'd think it'd be as natural for writers as putting, say, Human Torch on panel with Iceman first chance they got, which I think I've only seen once in any comic I can recall. Puma's 1st fight against Spider-Man was one of my favorite reads as a young fan.

Puma's an interesting guy, not enough's been done with him.

Smurph
Puma

carver9
Spite tbh.

It could be close. Hank has/had a rather decent HF once upon a time. He should be able to hang with Puma for a while anyway. At least while Puma hasn't gone full feral anyway.

I would have posted this many days ago, but TurboImageHost wouldn't let me upload anything this week. Still not sure I'm in the clear, but I'm going to try:

Reading this now, over 20 years later, I'm amazed at how solidly the writers of this era meshed their narratives together. Who is The Rose? Who is The Hobgoblin? What is significant about Spider-man's costume's webbing being organic (this fact would decide a later fight with one of Spider-mans most famous and deadliest foes)? What impact will this episode have on Peter's relationship with Mary Jane Watson? Etcetera.

So solidly written, and, yes, as a Spider-Man fan it is gratifying to note the Lord of New York's underworld considered Pete a MAJOR consideration for business in the city, important to him on both a personal AND professional level.

Anyway, if TurboImageHost continues to behave, here's the 1st fight between Puma and Spider-Man:

^^^Thanks, bwr.

You took me down memory lane with those scans. I'd also firgotten how awesome Frenz drew the black costume/how great it looked on Spidey as opposed to Venom.

Even carver admits it and carv is one of the few Beast defenders here.

riv6672
Beast was IN the Defenders!

Puma, easily. (unless Beast has prep)

Beast is good with prep ? Since when?

Magnon
Hank stopped the Dark Phoenix -- a Galactus+ level cosmic being -- for a while with just some hours of prep.

I don't see how it's a stomp though. Strength is about even, agility about even, speed goes to puma (but not a lot).
