I legit see no scenario where Wick can overpower, outmaneuver, or outthink Bourne. Wick may be The Boogeyman, but Bourne was essentially trained to be a weaponized Act Of God.

Nah. Bourne was trained to have the fastest quickdraw possible. He was trained to be the best peak human possible. That's legit his job. I'm sorry, but an ex-military mob hitman, no matter how many mercs he kills, is going to defeat a 30 million assassination machine designed to kill the world's most powerful people without the slightest mistake.

And comparing the High Table to the US Intelligence Community is like comparing a kindergarten playground to an Ivy League rugby match. What you don't seem to understand is that Wick is, at best, trained from an orphan to be an excellent soldier. Bourne was trained to be to an omnicompetent invisible weapon specifically designed to overcome the security of the world's most powerful countries without flaw. He's literally a weaponized version of Cris Johnson from Next.
Does Bourbe have a quickdraw feats other than speculation? This is John Wick, who is for guns what Riddick is to knives.

And Riddick is to knives, what Bourne is to EVERYTHING (to the point that Bourne defeated an expert knife-wielding opponent with a pen; not saying he's on Riddick's level, just an analogy). As far as gun feats, Bourne's instantly head-shotted opponents, instantly disarmed them, shot guns upside down, shot opponents while falling multiple stories, and has even evaded and ambushed snipers. And unlike Wick, he does it with absolute efficiency.

I'm a Bourne fan as well but have you read any of the actual books? Like the originals. He was NOT created as a weapon of God, what are you even talking about? It's been a long time since I have read any of them but I don't remember anywhere that he was given any superpowers, and Bourne (in the books at least) Is just a super savvy badass.
Nowhere that I read, did it ever even allude to Bourne being anything other than a well trained human. Unless they took a drastic turn somewhere.

No, I haven't read the books. I don't need to. This isn't the Book Versus Forum. We're clearly talking Damon Bourne here aka:
"You weren't hired to kill him. He was supposed to have died 3 three weeks ago in a way that can only be linked back to his own entourage. You are not a killer. You are invisible. You do not exist."
Movie Bourne was clearly trained to be the ultimate omnicompetent badass. Maybe that doesn't fit in with all the Carlos The Jackal book lore, but IDGAF so....
Ok, the way you hyped him up makes it sound like he is a super soldier or something. I just wanted to point out to readers not familiar with him that he is just a man and not enhanced like you are pushing him as

Well that's kind of the point I'm making. He's pretty much the closest thing you could get to a super-soldier without doing goofy sci-fi shit (like pills...Aaron....)
Show me anywhere in the movies where he was "enhanced" . He is not stronger or faster he is just well trained and movie tough. Maybe I missed something or an entire movie I guess because I don't remember anything being stated that he was more "weather" resistant.
I get what your saying in that pretty much everything he does is beyond what a normal human, Olympic level or SOF is capable of, but that is literally every movie hero, including Wick. Really doesn't matter because it doesn't look like many are backing wick.
Bourne decimates at any kind of CQC, if Wick I s able to keep it at firearm range he can probably split with him as all movie heros are pretty much equal at shooting. They always hit and the bad guy always sucks at shooting.

I know you're giving Bourne props, but it's not enough. I say that Bourne has the better quickdraw because it is actually a trait of his character. You're saying Wick should be equal because of the silliness of action movies physics.

And his feats are good enough to hold up to Wick's. As I said in another thread, it may be a smaller quantity of feats, but way higher quality. If anything, you're the one who has to prove that Wick is on Bourne's level. Prove Wick is skilled enough to battle in a gunfight with his firearm upside down, or that he is able to locate, ambush, and trap snipers.
