Top 5 Best Marvel Martial Artists

srug I'm a terrible judge of skill.

EARTH:

5.) Bullseye
4.) Daredevil
3.) Iron Fist
2.) Cat
1.) Shang Chi

UNIVERSE:

5.) Gamora
4.) Iron Fist
3.) Shang Chi
2.) Thanos
1.) Champion

Wolverine also has unbreakable bones and a healing factor, so those dont really qualify for hand to hand skills.
For Captain America to be considered better than Shang is silly to me. Shang has dedicated his life to a single means.
As for that list, yeah I was looking at the page directly linked. Even on that updated one, Jubilee over Beast? Yeah ok...
As for Marvel's handbooks.... when they can go 1 month without retconning a major piece of their own history, I'll take their word on something trivial like this.

. . . um . . . what?

Gamora is much more skilled than Danny or Shang.

And Danny's more skilled than the Cat. He's Shang's equal as far as skill goes.

There are also more skilled people on Marvel Earth than the ones you named. Including Captain America, Wolverine, Stick, and Ogun.

Uhhh....Captain America's been 'top tier' as far as skill goes in the Handbooks since day 1. Shang and his ilk have ALWAYS been below him. How's that for consistency? 😬.

As far as Logan's and Shang's encounter goes, Logan didn't rely on his healing factor, bones, or claws. He used martial prowess in that particular meeting.

Captain America and Wolverine are both Shang's superior. Whether you like it or not, whether it makes sense to you or not, that's the way Marvel's written it, so that's the way it is. 😐.

Because Batroc, a FRENCH kickboxer, says so. Wolvering got humiliated in hand to hand by Deadpool, who wasnt even taking him seriously at the time. Also, how do you NOT use a healing ability and unbreakable bones?

By not getting hit to activate it?

As far as Batroc goes - he's a fairly good hand to hand combatant, and a fine judge of skill. Not to mention that Zaran said the same thing, AND that Captain America straight up told Iron Fist (Shang's equal) that he just wasn't good enough in a fight.

Wolverine didn't get humiliated by Deadpool. Don't even try it - I'm a huge Deadpool fan, and, yeah, Deadpool's got the numbers over Wolverine, but every one of his wins have been via plot device.

Temugin and The Mandarin both need to be added

Both use chi to preform martial arts at ridiculously superhuman levels. Both happen to give Iron Man a pretty bad beating in the past, and at the moment I see no one in "Top Tier" doing that. They may need to go in "Uber Tier" or "Cosmic Tier"

Karnak actually has limited skill. It's his powers that let him do so much damage.

Karnak is pretty skilled, hes just slow!

Hmm, so Shang Chi couldnt hit Wolverine, but stock ninjas can hit Wolverine? Tell me again what the plot device?

Grammar. Learn it, live it, love it.

Anyways; Wolverine takes hits from 'stock ninjas' and takes bullets from 'badguy 011303678" because he has a healing factor, and knows he can. Same reason Deadpool does it, even though if he really wanted to, he wouldn't - as evidenced by other showings. doped.
