Your Favorite Five
Alright, I'm pretty much making up this thread because I'm bored, and it's mostly for my own benefit. Now, the point is to name your favorite five (it doesn't HAVE to be five, whatever number you feel comfortable with, really) characters. They can be from Marvel or DC, and they can super heroes or villains. Rank them from you least to most favorite.
Now you're probably wondering why this is in the 'Versus' Forum. Well, after you've listed the characters, say which one you think would win in a free-for-all fight.
For example, my favorites are:
1. Blade (Most Favorite)
2. Punisher
3. The Thing
4. Nick Fury
5. Deadpool
6. Colossus
7. Captain America (Least Favorite)
Alright, now, in a fight, it's pretty hard for me to decide. Punisher, as much as I respect him, might get knocked out early due to the ineffectiveness of his firearms against some of the other characters (unless he's packing some high-explosives). The same goes for Blade and Nick Fury. All three of which would do some damage before going down. Now, Captain America is a bit outclassed against the rest of the characters, he would put up a pretty good melee, but, overall, even his shield couldn't do anything to a large man made of rock or organic steel, and any blow he landed on Deadpool would most likely regenerate. Alright, three to go. Two strong men: The Thing and Colossus, and then there's that crazy merc.
Now I doubt any attack by super heroes, even ones as strong as these other two would do any lasting damage to Deadpool. However, here's where I have to simply draw the line. Deadpool COULD win the fight at this point if he has some heavy weapons on him and gets crafty. But for the sake of the other two, I'm going to assume that one of the strong men find a way to disable him.
Now, it's just down to The Thing and Colossus. Both are highly durable and have immense strength, although some would regard each as "Class-B" heroes (a classification I don't agree with). However this would be an entertaining fight nonetheless.
Both, as far as I know, aren't necessarily geniuses, but they don't lose their intelligence in their forms. So they're evenly matched as normal humans in the intellect category.
Then for speed. Either, I suppose, can leap small distance, and I know for a fact that The Thing can build up some momentum when he charges. Again, speed isn't anything special.
Now, for durability. This is a hard category. I honestly don't know which is more durable. I got two opinions, and one said that Colossus because he is made of metal, which is of course, stronger than rock. The other person said The Thing. I honestly can't decide. What do you guys think?
As for strength, I'll give it to The The Thing, he just seems bigger and tougher.
However, I think these two would just end up getting fatigued, not being able to do any real damage unless they get crafty and use the environment, etc.
So, that's my battle. Name you favorites, and let them battle. Give opinions on others' battles if you wish (mine included).
