If there were no weapons. I'd say Batman. But I'm going with Bishop. Bishop's carrying B.A.G.'s. (Big Ass Guns)

Batman defeated a high Herald (Superman) without anything but a whistle

This should be a breeze for Batman

Bishop should win.

Can Bishop absorb energy like Sebastian Shaw?

Can Bishop absorb energy like Sebastian Shaw? not on his exact level, but it's implied that he can absorb kinetic energy.

I remember a car/truck hitting him and he just absorbed the energy. It doesn't seem like he does it all the time, though.

With gear, I'll give this to Batman.

He seems very inconsistent in that, at least to me...

Strong Guy is much more similar to Shaw.

Bishop is like Maverick.

Bishop is like Maverick. Maverick could absorb kinetic energy too.....

Anyway, Bishop did it just recently.

I know.

My point is what they do with the energy they've absorbed. Bishop and Maverick = hand blasts, Strong Guy and Shaw = amping further their strength.

And that's the way it always should be written, otherwise their powersets become too similar...

i think if we dog deep into bishop's feats he'll have ways to beat bats. in a featureless environment and given the starting distance bats would also be in trouble. bishop CAN be overloaded, but depending what feats you go by, his limit can be quite high. in a standard city environment i like bats for a very solid majority. bats can also take him out with simple nerve strikes which wouldn't give bishop a chance to absorb the kinetic energy--though as stilt says that does seem to be inconsistently shown--or was. not sure how he's been portrayed more currently. /shrug

Maverick is low key one of my favorite characters. I used to know alot about him. Liked him as Agent Zero too.

Bishop rarely absorbs kinetic energy iirc.

Bishop rarely absorbs kinetic energy iirc. he did it like all of three issues ago. Not only that, but we're using these characters without the PIS included.

I feel like I've seen him get knocked out so many times tho.

I feel like I've seen him get knocked out so many times tho. that same sort of logic can be applied to the flash. In comics, he's definitely going to operate under the level of where he should be. In a forum setting though, he's going to be drawing from powers that are regularly forgotten about.

And Batman will use gas

yeah gas would be a tough counter for bishop. not sure ko gas is something he typically goes for, but even if he can go ninja in smoke it would be tough for bishop. i wonder if bishop has ever absorbed sound before? ala dazzler... multiversal level whistle turned back on him would take down even bats.

He absorbed the kinetic energy that his body built up when wolverine kicked him out of a skyscraper and converted it to light and sound.

i was asking if he's ever absorbed sound itself--like dazzler. could he absorb a sonic attack from batman?

With that said, based off of his powerset in conjunction with his ability to generate/ manipulate sound, I'd say that he shouldn't have any trouble absorbing it.

Bishop is no pushover in hand to hand. He crushed Wolverine in a sparring match. Just a spar, but still.

Batman pulls out his whistle.

Batman's whistle > Thor's hammer

Because he studied him. Ororo beat Logan too in that arc.

Bullseye has steamrolled Elektra for the same reason.

its a good showing but logan/gambit knew it was his fight to lose. Warren is a legit team wrecker or atleast xmen team wrecker when pushed

https://i.imgur.com/QONVIyz.gif you're not joking either. Psylocke used her tk to protect herself and everyone else from an entire building floor being blown up by gambit, OML walked through professor X and his mental constructs, and mystique is confirmed by fantomex as being able to split herself between two seperate bodies.

Thanks for the responses, KMCers.
