Ok...So, in keeping with the latest (and coolest) thread trend, I decided to post a thread centered around teh coolest of the bear family: The Polar Bear!
My question to pose to the rest of you is: What is the weakest comic character that could take down a full grown Polar Bear?
Which Polar Bear, in particular, you might ask?
For the match, we'll assume the comic character battles the biggest Polar Bear on record. For reference, here's Wikipedia:
"The largest polar bear on record was shot in Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, in 1960. According to Guinness World Records 2006, this bear weighed an estimated 580 kg (1960 lb) and was 3.38 m (11 ft 11 in) tall when mounted"
Stips:
-Fight takes place in Alaska, within a generic ice/snow based field of terrain. Contestants (The bear and its prey) do not start facing each other, but are well aware of what the enemy looks like-The bear is bloodlusted, but the comic character is not.
-For characters with weapons, no nerve gases/nitrogen capsules/etc. are allowed. Only traditional weaponry or powers are allowed.
So...
What is the weakest character in print that can take down The Bear?
RAWR!!!!
The coolest bear family? 🙄
I think you're forgetting the best one...
The Chicago Bears! 😎

I would say Batman or any top martial artist would have a good chance. Why? Consider... http://www.fightingmaster.com/masters/oyama
Specifically...
"Mas Oyama, in order to show the strength of his karate, tested his strength by fighting raging bulls bare-handed. It was a mismatch from the get-go for the bulls, not for Oyama. In all, he fought 52 bulls, three of which were killed instantly, and 49 had their horns taken off with knife hand blows"
Granted, a polar bear would be tougher than a bull (or would it?), but 52 bulls? I get tired just thinking about it.

There is an account of one trying to steal a kill from a Black Bear, it was killed but these things know no fear.
A Wolverine would wtfpwn a badger!
A honey badger would tear a wolverine apart 😈

orly...
Same temperment, both have no known predators, but the Wolverine is bigger and more powerful.
Honey Badger just refuse to die, took a Leopard an hour to kill and old toothless one.
And I can't believe you got me talking about badger baiting... 🙁
I don't know enough about wolverines to make an educated guess, actually. I was just teasing. I have an inordinate amount of respect for a honey badger, and have read a lot about them. I know honey badgers have been reputed (and proved) to kill animals much, much larger than them - apparently they go for the scrotum and tear that out (yep, they go for the balls!) and then they leave the animal to bleed to death.
Honey badgers are also the only animals I am aware of with a skin so loose that they can literally turn around inside their skin when attacked from behind, to counter-attack.
I have seen a honey badger bitten by a puff-adder in a fight, and two hours later, fully recovered, consume the puff-adder for lunch.
A honey badger has even been reputed to kill a buffalo (but that has never been proven).
So I don't know.
Since I'm a honey badger fan, I'll vote for the honey badger - but I do understand why you support the wolverine, from all accounts, if I was American, I would have been arguing for the wolverine as well.
But I'm not.
So, honey badger for the win! 💃
Yeah - truth is, I wouldn't like it much either - I really like animals.
If it did accidentally happen, I would be very, very curious about the outcome, though...
Since we are already off-topic, did you see that program on National Geographic where they get experts on animals to argue about who would win in a fight betwee for instance a polar bear and a walrus (hey, I mentioned a polar bear, so maybe I'm not off-topic after all!).
Anyway, the last one I saw I completely disagreed with - the put a jaguar against an anaconda, and according to them, the anaconda won.
But, and this is an important but, they never showed the jaguar using his back claws for the disembowelling movements all cats are so notorious for. And if you know anything about cats, you would know that it is probably one of their most (if not THE most) lethal move they have.
So why, I wanna know, do they pit a jaguar against an anaconda, in the water (already giving the edge to the anaconda) and then not even once showing the big cat using his most lethal move?
Flippen crap expert, if you ask me...

Still only way you will know for sure is to stick them in a cage together and I don't think the RSPCA take to kindly to that!
Just imagine if the HighEv had been experimenting on a HoneyBadger when Thor interupted him.

Don't Polar Bear's already Prey on Walrus, just not the Adults and Definetly not the Bull's?
No I haven't seen it, Jaguar's are BIG cats, Third largest behind Tigers and Lions, very Stocky animals too, I live not far from Chester and there are a few there, that they're trying to Breed from, the only way an Anaconda or any reticulator for that matter is taking something like a Jaguar is by suprise.
On land, face to face, Anaconda is at a very serious disadvantage, in the water though, its the Anaconda all night long.
They do on occasion eat people but even then its only by surprise or in one case I know about, when the poor bloke was sleeping!
EDIT: The Jaguars are in the Zoo obviously!
WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
Check this out - this prove that expert on National Geographic was a moron!
I am gonna flippen write them and complain...
