Deadpool vs Midnighter

Midnighter has never had his abilities nullified by unpredictability or insanity on-panel. Seth was categorically insane and Midnighter could predict his moves. And no, it didn't help him defeat Seth, but Seth tore through the entire Authority as a team-buster. Deadpool managed to outdo Taskmaster with his unpredictability and insanity, but Taskmaster ain't no Midnighter. It's an x-factor, not enough for Deadpool to take a majority.

Midnighter's only been stomped on by insanely strong and fast opponents OR when his enhancements had been turned off. Deadpool's not as strong and fast as those opponents. Deadpool could not turn off his enhancements. According to common knowledge rule, Deadpool wouldn't even know that Midnighter's powers don't work if you failed to make a move. So that lil weak spot in Midnighter's abilities has little chance of ever coming into play. But Midnighter's abilities allow him to see Deadpool's enhancements at a glance. And ripping off Deadpool's head with his staff, hands, or standard weapons is a win, despite Deadpool's virtual immortality.

Midnighter 7/10. Deadpool's unpredictability and insanity count for 1, otherwise it'd be 8/10.

Seth was sick, not unpredictable....

Yeah, Seth was just on too high a power level, except perhaps for the Doctor (they took him out early during a bout of drug use to avoid possible powers-based PIS). That's not a good example at all. Occasionally there's going to be people whose powers supercede MN'ers ability to predict, not because he can't see fight scenarios and choose the best one, but because he can't win in any of them.

Midnighter did take it to Kyle Rayner recently 😖hifty:

Good fight. I might go with Midnighter.

Actually.

Anyone see what Joker's insanity did to MNer's predicting skills in the crossover? I don't care that it wasn't canon Joker, he's done the same to Cassie before. And also remember DP's fight with Taskmaster, where he beat him with randomness. This same argument was used earlier, but with Seth. It doesn't apply at all with Seth, who was likely Trans. level. But the argument itself was sound, the example was just off.

So yeah, it's just not a good matchup for MNer. Deadpool wins. 9/10

It makes sense...

Midnighter plans based on what are probable and optimal moves to make for the opposition, because most fighters choose the most optimal paths with the least resistance in a fight.

Deadpool has a toss up between what's optimal and what's hilarious.

IMO, it actually makes more sense than Joker.

Didn't see that. Doesn't surprise me that DC makes Wildstorm look bad during any of their crossovers. Its BS IMO.

It wasn't universally lopsided. Both sides got their shots in. And for what it was worth, it wasn't canon for DC characters. It was a kid's imaginings of DC characters that he brought to life. And Batman died. Again.

But yeah, the unpredictable types seem to give him trouble. Joker and DP definitely qualify, especially since they're the only 2 I can think of that have ever "random'd" someone skilled to a victory (Batgirl and Taskmaster, respectively).

Oh! You're talking about Dream War? God, that mini was awful. And yeah, the DC characters looked much better than WS's. Which sucked.

Midnighter making fun of Supes for the language thing was hilarious, though. And him snapping Ollie's neck.

Well, throw it away as non-canon and it was still an entertaining story. It was only the power levels of either side, which are always awful is company crossovers, that were awful. I was amused at the whole thing.

I actually enjoyed that The Doctor was written on a different level. Not in a "ZOMG look at his powas!" way, but in a "You guys fight pointlessly, I'll go deal with the real threat" way. It was subtly empowering.

MN overrated in my opinion. People give his conculate fight ability way to much credit.

His battle precog allows him to take out high-meta to low-heralds on a regular basis...Don't see how its overrated.

And kinda. He uses like, an extending staff a lot (kind of Gambit-esque). He's been known to shove it through people before, though.
