It's likely that Cass is the better fighter up close and I've never seen any information that would say X-23 has any advantages in physical strength and speed. If X-23 has anything, its her claws and her healing factor, which Cass might have trouble getting around.
I'll say tie for now, simply because, at the very least, X-23 has enough skill to hang with Cass and Batgirl may have problems getting around that healing factor. Although, it's possible Cass can just break enough bones for a technical victory.
So, Cass has been standing on a pile of soldiers, holding one full grown man up with one arm, impaled on her adamantium claws? I'd like to see a scan of that.
As to the fight... I dunno. Depends on what Batgirl carries around usually. Even though I've only read maybe one or two impression, I've somehow gotten the impression that he doesn't carry as many gadgets as Bats. The more I think about it, the more this sounds like a fight X-23 is gonna win. The girl was at peak human strength before the age of ten (I believe) and has all Wolverine's power in a sleeker and faster body. I don't see Batgirl winning this.
Don't take it so literal. What I meant is that Cass has taken out an entire room full of enemies without taking a single scratch.
Peak human strength before the age of ten doesn't mean much. I've still seen no indication that she's reached any level of superhuman strength. As far as X-23 being 'fast', so is Batgirl, and really, what's to keep Cass from reading X-23's body language and staying, literally, one step ahead?
I think the only problem Cass will have is getting around that healing factor, which might seal the deal for X-23.
Berserker rage, assuming X-23 has them, would do it. It works for Wolverine against real telepaths as well as move readers. She was peak human at ten when she only had a bone skeleton. Now, she's bigger and has a skeleton that can support more weight. She's at LEAST still at peak human.
I can't recall whether X-23 has fully adamantium-laced bones or as some have been saying only adamantium coated claws. I recall her physical traits (strength, speed, agility, stamina, and reflexes) are enhanced (above peak). She also has superhuman senses.
I'd assume that at the very least X-23 can outlast Batgirl because of the healing factor, she can afford to take hits from Cass a lot more than Cass can afford to get stabbed by X-23, so I'm inclined to think X-23 would win.
Been reading a lot of Batgirl lately and I've read pretty much everything where X-23 has a leading or important role and was wondering about how this would go down.
Batgirl rarely gets touched by skilled fighters but then X-23 can take machine gun fire to the face and be up seconds later. Hard to put her down.
