Not really.... think about it.... he gets three times the strength and speed of Captain America .... but he isn't hindered by the additional weight or wind resistance of having three bodies.... 100 mph is perfectly reasonable (and he's done it once or twice in the Avengers)

t logically should win, but cap would find a way in a book using brains, skill and experience. despite his advantages, it would still only take a shot from cap's shield to take him out. interesting fight even though i never liked triathalon and his attitude . . .
Funny. Cheeta's can run at 70 mph, and every time I have seen them run after prey, when they try to stop, they either go waaay out on an arc, or they tumble head over heals.
I have never seen one run around an antelope at 70 mph, biting and slashing over and over.
I would wager that it is the same with Triathelon.
^ Actually, if you re-read some of the posts, Triathlon can run over 100mph. And besides, you realize that during the fight, Triathlon is gonna have three times the reaction time and three times the reflexes as Captain, right?

He is still going to exist, so the effects of his mass with gravity and momentum are still going to happen.
We aren't talking about a special speed power. Just three times the stuff as captain america.
He can't run around in tight circles at 100 mph, hitting and kicking.
It has nothing to do with reaction time or strength. It has to do with everything from your feet up, getting thrown off balance.
Stand up in your living room, and run around as fast as you can in little circles, punching and kicking into the middle of the circle.
(here's a tip: Be ready to call 911, and don't let anybody see you)
perhaps... but Triathlon's agility would be almost comparable to Spider-Man's... he wouldn't run around anyone in a circle (as that would be stupid) but he could do something similar to how Spidey bounces around people.... but not quite as fast:
It isn't just speed and agility that allows Spidey to do that. The reason he can do it, turn on a dime, stuff like that it is mostly that he can grip surfaces.
you don't just acquire top tier strength or speed. You must train and learn ways to develop it. Maybe T has 3 times the skill over Cap. The way to settle this would be if anybody has scans of his.
If you're saying that Triathlon had to work for him to become three times peak human in EVERY physical category, then you'd be mistaken. Jonathon Tremont secretly endowed Triathlon with the stolen powers of 3-D Man.

Think I'd have to back Cap here. Three athletic men sounds good on paper, but Caps beaten outright metas. US Agent, for one, is MUCH stronger then three men.
