10 best comic character martial artists

In that case, this is my order, (not including Dragonball characters), based purely on level of skill:

1)Karate Kid* (DC)
2)Champion (Marvel)
[the above are interchangable, though Champion has a distinct strength advantage].
3)Raoh (Fist of the North Star)
4)Kenshiro (Fist of the North Star)
5)Toki (Fist of the North Star)
6)Jagi (Fist of the North Star)
7)Thanos(Marvel)/Batman 1M (DC)
8)Karnak/Mantis/Gamora (Marvel)
9)Master Splinter(TMNT)/Stick(Marvel)
10)Snake Eyes (GI Joe)/Stormshadow(GI Joe)/Leonardo (TMNT)/Raphael(TMNT) [/B]

Now I would need more info on all the fist of the north star characters I know about ken but the rest not so much.What can any of them do that lets say Karnak,Mantis couldn't do?

where's shredder? he's better in H2H then any ninja turtle.......

All 4 Hokuto no Ken fighters have speed advantages over most opponents which must be taken into account. I placed Raoh ahead of Kenshiro due to them being comparable in every department save strength, where Raoh is superior.

1 on 1, Leonardo killed Shredder after Shredder's resurrection in Vol. 2 of the Ninja Turtles comics.

He cut Shredder's head off.

Rafael is actually a better fighter than Leo, but Leo is the more centered of the 2 and is less given to letting his anger (or in most cases arrogance) get the best of him.

As for Thanos, he personally trained Gamora, has taken on groups of class 100 beings hand to hand with ease, and has reflexes keen enough to dodge Silver Surfer flying at Warp Speed in an attempt to snatch the Infinity Gauntlet from his hand.

I think he's in the Top 10.

I don't know about that, are you talking about the SheHulk 8 issue series version 1?

I have all those issues and just finished specifically the one where she fight ol' Tryco Slatterus,(Champion)When he had his power gem, She hulk could've been killed by him when they H2H in the ring. When he took his gem off for the next fight, She Hulk put a hurtin on him, he didn't even touch her once, resulting in a knockout.
Ofcourse imo Champion should of whooped her one way or another, cause even without the Gem he's still class 100', plus is arguably the greatest fighter in the universe.

Which brings me to this, how strong is She Hulk nowadays?

Sound reasoning for Thanos, but didn't Gamora prove herself to be a good amount better than him? He does have massive physical advantages, yet when they fought, he couldn't touch her. He's, at the least, knowledgable, but he doesn't show off his skill much. I wouldn't put him here.

I'd put Batman 1 Million a notch higher as well. His skills aren't documented at all, but by all accounts, he did basically the same thing as Karate Kid did, in that he mastered every martial art in the universe. At least to the point where his only real showing involved telepathy-implementing moves from squid people.

Capn america would own anyone in the ninja turtles universe in h2h

True, Cap much much better than the turtles.

Yes, which is why I picked Gamora in the tournament along with Karate Kid (though she got no respect. Notoriety doesn't equate skill, nor does lack of notoriety equate to a lack of skill).

Gamora's good enough to stay a step (or 4) ahead of Thanos who has demi-god like reflexes at worst, but Thanos also happens to be a Class 400+ brick with the skill, speed, and most calculating mind this side of Lucifer, so I put him a notch above Gamora. If he wanted to kill her, she'd have died.

Martial arts are as much about brains as they are about technique.

Oh, and also, a little known fact is that the Ninja Turtles were originally a satire of DareDevil.

Splinter is a mutant rat version of Stick, DareDevil's sensei.
