a free trip to the ambulance and hospital of his choice. Were things even close to realistic anyone with enhance sped would almost automatically win against someone with normal speed, But comic book logic means someone with a bow &arrow or a boomerang can tag some going over 300 mph. let alone Mach 1 or near light speed. In the same manner Cap will win no manner how great Triathlon edge in stats due to Cap aura and much greater skill & experience. Also people are joking Triathlon way too much, I don't recall Narvel saying he's 3X Peak Human, IIRC he's 3X human period. Also for better or worse except for running 100 mph, Cap has over yrs equaled most if not all of Trialthlon feats
He claimed to have three times stats of three very fit humans across the board in Busiek's Avengers run.
The one that had a religious cult with members everywhere, who essentially secretly controlled the world (Gosh, wonder what conspiracy theory that was riffing on, oy!)

as the only person in the history of, well, ever, to use triathlon in a tourney setting, i can say definitively that the lazy Phuking EMT galan was going to beat up would beat triathlon.
Scoob never did get around to that respect thread, I take it.

Has it ever actually been explicitly stated that Tri is 3x Cap? Because from what I know about him, I ain't buying it. It's very possible that he's got superior stats, but 3 times... doubtful. For instance, if he can really run 100 mph then yeah he's faster than Steve. But Cap can run nearly 60 mph, which means Tri's not ever a full 2x Cap in muscle speed.
Just for a really fit guy. Which could mean anything from Daredevil, to a muscle Frank Castle could take by the truck load.

Anyone remember Super Force? That mix of proceedual drama and Knight Rider, as the main character wore a robot suit? "in 2020, times are tough! This man's tougher!"
Near when the show was about the tank, the protagonist got super powers. As strong as 5 men. Average men.
So what gestalt wins? 3 Olympians, or five average guys?
I say the fit guys.

Yeah see... Cap himself is 3x many "really fit guys". Like I said, Tri might have an edge in raw stats physical stats if we use their running speed as an indication, but not like blowout levels. And as far as reflexes go, Cap's are kinda crazy so I'd question whether or not Tri had any kind of edge there at all. Plus in regards to durability, Cap wears fairly decent body armor so HE'S probably the one with the edge in that department if both are in uniform.
Really, any martial artist or super warrior worth their salt can hang with Spidey.
And he's sliiiightly better then three men. Even fit ones.

VFH can mean anything from a guy who works out 4 days a week, a SF soldier like Ranger or SEAL, DD or Frank Castle. It doesn't mean Peak Human. Also what stats does he have that blows Cap out of the water? B/C outside of his running speed I don't recall any feats he's done Cap can't equal or surpass.
Also it's almost ingrained in stone that major heroes will always beat lesser heroes and character with their own book will beat characters without said book. Finally there's the vast skill and experience edge Cap is A+ is skill Triathlon is at best B-. plus I'm am not even including Cap aura in the mix.
Cap.
If u need to break it down, u can say Cap has all those impressive "Capwins", due to experience, training, will, intelligence, intuition, etc, etc, honed over many years of constant combat with the most dangerous beings in multiple universes.
Triath does not have anything like that.
If u want to chuck that out the window, that's cool. But somebody is going to have to open a thread where we can track, retcon results and dethrone a whole big bunch of favorite characters who use the same kind of details for victories.
I sh*t on your shiny, new Triathlon.
He can come try again when he has some hair on his balsawood airplane.
