Normal humans have thrown punches with more then a 1000lbs of preasure... now imagine how hard a comic book character who is expontially more skilled then any human being on earth and can bench 20tons is going to hit. Adamantium or not Blade gets torn apart with minimal effort.
Blade is a master martial artist proficient in practically every form of weaponry known to man. His particular specialty is the use of edged weapons, be they teakwood daggers or swords. Blade is a master in the use of small bladed weapons and can hurl knives with great accuracy.
Like i said in my original post.....(without adamantium) 2 MASTER martial artists fight, and one has his favoured weapon - (katana), then i give the bout to him.
Sword > Flesh (and the fanboys scream in unison -HEALING FACTOR-) yes he has a healing factor, but Blade isn't going for superficial wounds here, he's not grazing a forearm with his MASTERFUL sword wielding abilities..he is chopping OFF LIMBS!
Now if you dispute that Sword > flesh then i just cant argue you're not all there in the mind, but if your argument is that blade wont be able to get a hit in in the first place, well then thats a diferent argument.
Now bare in mind ive been taking note of some of the objectors to what ive said, and i saw a few farmiliar names in another thread.
Those of you who are saying blade wouldnt get a hit in because he isnt as fast as creed HYPOCRITICALLY posted that Cap USA WOULD get a hit in if he faced Spider-man, and Spidey's agility to caps, is the difference = with Sabres to Blade..maybe a little less. so it stands to reason Blade woud get a couple of swipes at least.. no?
But with Adamantium it does become a stomp.
