Marvel Deathmatch: Shang-Chi vs Iron Fist

Started by demigawd3 pages

Somebody has to know something for everybody to consistently rank Shang-Chi #1 or #2 in the Marvel Universe. Or is it just that he looks like Bruce Lee, lol?

Marvel calls him...the best Martial Art practitioner that will state it. Plus he stalemated Spidey b4.

Yeah, but the Marvel Handbook also said of Captain America, "Perhaps the greatest hand to hand combatant in history". I prefer to go by feats than by statements made by god knows who among thousands at a company. You posted good IF feats, and that goes a long way to determining where he belongs. Shang-Chi needs the same thing for me to rank him as highly as some people seem to.

Daredevil, Black Panther, Wolverine and Kingpin have all stalemated or beaten Spider-Man at some point or other.

Yeah dude, but Shang's a genectically created human but still human stats.

Cap that greatest thanks to his status but not the best, mind you...DC calls Batman the greatest martial artist too.

Ok....here are some of Iron Fist feats, can't post scans but it's from the Iron Fist Essentials.

Iron Fist stalemated Iron Man (IM did have adv here... he's lot stronger than IF).

In #14 Iron Fist defeated Sabretooth.

#15 Iron Fist fought Wolverine...Logan was knocked around but credits to him he kept coming back (healing Factor) just to get knocked around again. (Logan could not even lay a scratch on Danny). Eventually, Colossus and Nightcrawler entered the fight and it was 3 vs 1 disadv to Iron Fist. But they cld not defeat Iron Fist and was knocked around embarassingly.

I forgot to say.... Black Panther did beat Iron fist but barely. If IF was not mind controlled, BP would be defeated.

by using plot device.

Now bump..

Toughie. Shang has the slight skill advantage, Danny has the chi advantage.

😬.

I'm undecided.

Yeah, Wolverine seemed to pretty easily put down a character that stole the Iron Fist power from Danny, and seemed to be more skilled than him, as well.

I'd have to call a little bit of PIS on that feat, though. Iron Fist can EASILY match or superceed Logan's physical stats through the use of chi, and is AT LEAST as skilled as Wolverine, if not heftily moreso.

In my opinion, 😬.

even with the Iron fist, Shang Shi takes the majority .

Wolverine, Captain America, Batman, Iron Fist, Shang Chi, Lady Shiva, Batgirl, random street leveler, Deathstroke, Richard Dragon, and Bronze Tiger are all the best H2H fighter in the world. At least in teh world of pointless hyperbole.

They all suck (except Slade) because they all need to be brought back down to earth. They can be good characters, but the writers need to stop with all the ridiculous hype. They have no business tangling with high-level metas (even slade). It's laughable at best.

my bad, he technically is superhuman, but still the jobber aura thing with him is ridiculous

Yeah, Slade's superhumanly strong, fast, etc.

But his skills are likely below those of nightwing's.

Not that nightwing is any slouch, but he's definitely no Shang Chi.

Aside from their initial encounter Marvel has been pretty admit (IMO at least) that Wolverine is superior to Iron Fist. In the two issues he guest started in Heroes for Hire he ridiculed Iron Fist going so far as to call Danny an amateur. There is also the Iron Fist/Wolverine team up (which you mentioned) which pretty much cemented that Wolverine was the more skilled of the two.

It's kind of a Batman - Shiva relationship. Even though Batman has done much, much more impressive things then Shiva has... she is better then he is, thats just how DC plays it.

I should warn you, people get angry when I say that... you might want to watch out for a while. Avoid dark alleys and stuff you never know where long pig could be hiding. 😈

To each his own. Your opinion, my opinion.

That's it. 😄.

I said h2h....ok let's make it clear...w/o the Iron fist.

So just no Iron Fist, right? He can still amp up his other abilities using Chi?

I give it to Iron Fist 7/10.

Shang can also amp his abilities using Chi.

I just think Danny has the superior showings with it. 😬
