so out of the following who is the best overall acrobat. Beast, spiderman, night crawler midnighter, puck,lady shiva, batgirl,batman,captain america,karate kid, add more if you like.
Nightcrawler, his body is built for it.
Spidey and Beast tie for second, while Beast can use both his hands and feet, spidey has highly increased reflexes and is much stronger.
I would, however, object to putting Daredevil over Nightwing; they're at least on par with each other. Nightwing is an acrobatics prodigy. I'm not entirely sure there's anyone in DC that's better than he is.
That's exactly what I meant. Isn't that what this thread is about? But now that you bring it up, the only thing Murdock's got on Grayson are his superhuman senses. I'd venture the idea that Nightwing's a better hand-to-hand fighter than Daredevil if not just equal.

I'd put it
1. Nightcrawler (built for it has a tail for extra balance and everything.)
2. Spidey and Beast (I don't actually know that much about beat but I trust Nataku's assessment.)
3. Nightwing and Dare Devil (I'm guessing DD's senses put him on par with Nightwing.)
4. Batgirl
5. Batman
6. Lady Shiva (when has she ever done anything more acrobatic than Batman?)
7. Captain America (doesn't do all that much in this area so I guess it's pretty safe to assume.)
And Puck? Anyone know enough of this guy, he might actually be first, he does have some sort of demon giving him his graces.
Spider-Man has better reflexes, strength, and flexibility than Kurt. This is why he's the better acrobat. Let's not forget his ability to use surfaces and his enhanced equilibrium (he doesn't become disoriented when hanging upside down, etc.) and you've got Marvel's supreme acrobat.
Kurt's only advantage for spot #1 is his ability to just disappear and reappear at any point on a whim.
Kurt is more flexible, what are you smoking? He's got the tail, the enhanced limbs, and years as a circus acrobate.
Spidey is stronger and can adhere to almost anything.
If Spidey could do like Kurt and twirl around bars with one foot, flip off, grab another bar with his tail, swoosh around and twist into a grab with one arm and one foot, revert back to his tail, etc. hed be a better acrobat, but as it stands, the only place he really has a big advantage is the floor competition.

Kurt has the better body for acrobating, but spiderman has the speed, and agility. Kurt is very close, but in the sake of bars and swings, Kurt would be more flashy as he can grip with his feet, and tail.
Spiderman would do better in events that require a long jump or great feat of strength to get to one place or another, but he's close with Kurt, but has versatility that leads me to believe he's #1
Acrobatics isn't about long jumping or feats of strength, they are based on skill. The most important part of almost any gymanstic event is the landings, which Kurt can do on his hands. Spidey may be strong enough and have the sticky (lol, THE sticky), but when he's trying to maximize his inversions and such mid-air, im sure he'll overdo it and **** up. He isn't a trained acrobat like Kurt.

I know it involves dexterity, it just depends on what feats you are talking about, its like gymnastics. Spiderman has the greater strength and could do these spins and flips many times no doubt, as well as Kurt.
For instance I think Spidermans greatest point is his start, he would get a good launch, hang (strength), have a faster movement, and get more times to spin and twist and flip. His landing would be better than others but not Kurt, though I'm sure he would be the only to land on one hand from a really high fall.
Kurt would be strong in his finishes. His start, wouldn't be as strong as spidermans, but he would make up for it, with his natural grace, and adaptivity to cling to surfaces with his tails and hands, ideal for bars and such. He does not have the strength to do what spidey could do for as long, but he adept and BORN to do it.
Spiderman acrobatics were a gift, Kurts were his birthright, but I think strength would give him the opportunity to catch the air in his ascent of his jumps.
One who is skilled in feats of balance and agility in gymnastics.
Agility-
The state or quality of being agile; nimbleness.
Agile-
Characterized by quickness, lightness, and ease of movement; nimble.
This isn't gymnastics, it's an acrobatic competition, I was using previous things as examples. Nightcrawler has more training, and is literally built for acrobatics. Not only that, but he has more experience than Spider-man in the field of being an acrobat. It was his life.
