Midnighter might have trouble with the Chi-amping techniques and the more mystical abilities Danny has been developing recently. I've NEVER seen Midnighter take on an opponent with mystical-type-martial-arts, and I don't know how well his implants could Danny's enhanced abilities from them.
but other than that factor, the Midnighter could take the Hammer of K'un Lu.
I reckon that Danny's chi and telepathy techniques could throw Midnighter off with his predictions, and I'm certain that Fist's martial arts skills are rather higher than Midnighter.
Even if both of those factors are true, there is still the fact that the Midnighter is considerably stronger, faster, more durable, and heals more quickly.
Seeing as how your tag here is "Cartesian Doubt," why don't we handle this from a Cartesian perspective.
Lets see, lets see. Descartes, Descartes. Wasn't he the guy who was basically utterly invalidated by Spinoza and had holes poked through him by everyone from Liebinez to Bacon to Nietzsche? (looks through drug and booze-addled memory)
Why, yes! Hm, I seem to recall that he was all about eliminating doubt by disregarding the evidence of the senses as he established through his well known and useless "wax argument."
If we go ahead and reduce everything down, down, down to its most basic terms, then, what Descartes attempts to postulate is that empirical evidence is moot because we can never be sure we can rely on it. Therefore, deduction is rather better than induction.
Ooookay, proceeding from this framework lets see what we can make of your argument herein.
Hm, well, a misplaced comma, an incorrectly used colon, and a horrifically misspelled word. And how does one "where say?" It sounds fascinating and kind of fun. Is it a bit like ventriloquism? Other than these egregious grammar errors, I can follow you thus far.
You start your next sentence off with "though" implying that you're about to refute a statement. An example would be, "Though Superman has heat vision and the Martian Manhunter is susceptible to flame, J'onn's various other powers more than make up for Superman's fire-based attack."
Wait, that's not what you're doing at all. Instead you just start off with the word "though" and then flow into a statement that doesn't seem to make any sense at all. Instead you merely state that apparently this oddly named "Midknighter" fellow (what comics does he appear in? I don't believe I've ever read them) and Wolverine happen to have what seems to be a "far superior super power" (hey! Bonus alliteration points!), they can thus beat more powerful enemies then Iron Fist. Er, alright.
The next postulation seems to be attempting to establish a point that I believe was made already, in a much more clear manner than what you're saying here... by the person you're arguing with? Then why are you disagreeing with them?
So it's the old if "X" is superior to "Y" and "Y" is superior to "Z," then "X" is superior to "Z," in which "X" represents this bizarre "Midknighter" dude, "Y" is equal, apparently, to Wolverine, and "Z" is a stand-in for Iron Fist deal.
Wait, what is this odd logic in the next statement. Even if you believe the aforementioned equation, then your following argument for why it's invalid doesn't make... any sense at all. If "X" is superior to "Z" then... how exactly is "Z" also superior to "X?"
And how exactly is Mindset himself a conclusion, as evidenced by your fascinating argument "youre conclusion?" And why are you incapable of using apostrophes? And why are you arguing with the exact point he made only using more convoluted and less thought out statements? And why am I refuting what you're saying at length even though it's pretty clear that anyone who reads it would realize it doesn't make any sense? And why do you spell argument like that, not only once but twice, even though KMC has a spell check? And why can't you figure out what the f*ck Midnighter's name is, even though people have already pointed it out? And what on Earth are you trying to say? And why are you speaking in such highfalutin speech when you can't even spell "were" correctly? And why am I so infinitely more clear than you when I've been drinking for the past thirteen hours straight and I'm exceptionally high? And why...
I think the only way to look at this is the fact in a straight up fight between the two without the IronFist technique Danny loses 10/10.
MN is just skilled, faster, stronger, more durable, better healing factor, etc, etc.
So what does this mean is that for IF to have a shot he is going to have to resort to his IF attack early and often. It is a very draining and straight forward attack though. The type of attack that MN eats for breakfast.
Easy to spot and react to you know the kind of thing MN sees coming easily and avoids easily or understands enough to if he can not avoid places himself in a situation to receive the least amount of damage possible.
I think this fight is MN's to lose and Rand is just a little out of his league here.
