Point is just because it did happen, doesn't mean it SHOULD have happened. Karnak has a definite strength and durability advantage, and possibly has a speed advantage as well(not to mention his capacity for one hit KO's). I'm not saying that Bats can't pull an upset or two, but I see Karnak pulling the majority if he's not jobbing.

You can call it jobbing all you like, but you aren't reconciling all the evidence, goob. He has some insane feats to his credit - but so does batman.

And, Batman has a much MUCH better track record against credible martial artists.

Karnak SHOULD be faster and stronger than T'Challa. He should stomp T'challa in a melee fight - but he doesn't. There's a reason for that, and it's that reason that will make him lose to Batman here.

It's better then what I here from karnak supporters.........which is simply " he can see weak points so he wins"

what kind of cop out is that. it not even that effective vs skilled MA's

Karnaks ability extends far beyond seeing weak points. Most skilled MA don't see "Weak Points" Like Karnak, instead they have a knowledge of the human anatomy from their many years of training in combat, therefore they know where to strike to do the most damage, or how to hold/throw someone, or even take advantage of a weakness in an opponents defense.

Karnak can do much more with his power, on top of that, he is stronger/faster/more agile then batman.

Im not saying Karnak would take the majority, im undecided right now, Im just saying, ABC logic shouldn't dictate the win.

Because T'challa is much faster, that is all.

still karnak abiltiy is still useless vs a skilled MA since they alreayd know were there weak points are and were akrnak weak points are as well.

karnak ability is good, but vs op tier and second tier fighters it really not that effective.

he really has no agility or speed feats that give him an edge over batman.

I was saying he was faster then Karnak, but I guess he is faster then batman also.

I AM thinking of all the evidence. Aside from two bad showings against BP(who nearly EVERYONE in Marvel has a bad showing or two against at this point) there's nothing in Karnak's record to suggest that Bats could put him down.

And what do you mean he SHOULD be much stronger/faster? Karnak has the feats to support his being Bats physical superior.

I would say capt and black panther have a slighty speed advantage over bats becuase there true peak-humans

Oops. Yep that's what I meant.

who has karnak defeated that was a skilled fight?

I mean as I recall he neevr really versed any top tier fighters.

I just wondering I could be wrong

Actually, Karnak has some impressive speed feats to his credit as well. We're talking about someone who was able to vibrate his hand fast enough to hit an intangible Vision.

BP is actually the only actual MA I can think of that he's went up against(that's normally Karnak's role in the story). But I'm not trying to say that he's got Bats beat skill wise(not many do after all), I'm saying that he's skilled enough to pull the win because of his superior physicality and capacity for one hit KO's.

Very true, T'challa has some impressive speed feats himself though, but I dont wanna get off topci. BTW, do you have those scans of BP taking on the inhumans, or know what comic it is in?

Which feats support Karnak being so vastly superior, if you do not mind me asking?

karnack has found weak spots and injured vastly superior beings and stuff with his hands. I haven't read aything with him in aloong time but I do remember that. one hit from Karnack into one of Batman's join's and he'll be limbless.

I have to agree with soljer here karnak speed feats have not been that impressive from what I just viewed.

Or you can take a stroll over to the respect thread.

Also, pay no heed to Battlehammer's comments as he thinks Karnak's ability to drop someone with tap is the same as a martial artist's ability to strike a nerve.
