agent zero has not displayed any of maverick's abilities, and your claim that he "has no use for them" is as valid as my claim that he doesn't have them. neither are backed by canon fact, and both could make sense in certain situations. fact is, maverick was remade into a monstrosity of a character, both in regards to weapon x and tieri's reworking of his character, and was intended by the project to be the perfect tool to hunt wolverine and/or sabretooth. even with his upgrades, you cannot pull off a convincing "win" for zero without dumbing down spider-man's abilities.
"agent zero would own spiderman" my ass. all you've put up as a defense to that statement is "if he hits spider-man, he's toast." that's a big ****in' if, considering he's fighting a character who senses impending danger and is zero's physical superior in every sense. make a "maverick would own spiderman" thread, and i'll work my fingers to the bone looking for justification. but give this "agent zero rox, lolzorz" shit a rest.
Alright this is the last thing I'll say. You can't undermind Maverick just because he's a Sabretooth foe.....and draw the conclusion that he couldnt take Spiderman. I mean look at SPlice....an ordinary guy in a vibranium costume with blades who happens to be a WOnderman foe....I mean he sounds more like he should be a Sabretooth/WOlverine foe to me. Zero's versatility puts him on another level than those guys IMO.......The only reason he serves as their enemy is for plot purposes. Look at what he did to a whole team of Xmen in DOFN.
To the poster who said AZ's augmented punches aren't on Spidermans level......that's ridiculous....he hits at LEAST as hard as Spiderman.
BTW Dissapear it is a shame you didn't get to post those Maverick scans....would've been ill to post those in AZ's respect thread.
