Mr. Sinister vs Mandarin

hmmm . . . mhmm

damn, GREAT thread man! this is a tough one. sinister's tp wouldn't do any good against mandy's psi ring. both have a wide variety of powers. sinister is maybe smarter, mandy is maybe more skilled. i wonder if sinister can be disintegrated? hmm, tough one . . .

1)mandarin reads sinister's mind. 2)emulates the blasts of cyclops with the impact ring.

or like 20 other ring combos to end this

mandarin reads his mind? 😕

not likely given mr s's psi defenses. and the impact ring<cyke's blasts -- which sinister has taken without batting an eye . . . 😬

He's smart, deadly, has superior telepathy, and telekinesis for the quickdraw.

im not perfectly up to date with x-men but i will guess who "was" capable
as peers of xavier.

-amahl farouk (shadow king)
-white queen
-legion
-quire (not sure of his current status)
-mesmero
-jason wyngard (dead right?)
etc

they have to bring back legion

Sinister

Legion's dead, Shadow King's comprehended, Quire's pretty much dead, Jason Wyn is dead.

Mandarin for the win on this one.

Sinister's got some serious durability.

mandy has disintegrated parts of tony's armor . . .

So?

I'm liking Mandy here.

i'm guessing if he could disintegrate the armor, sinister's own armored form wouldn't fair much better . . .

his matter manip might come in handy as well.

i'm not sure who'd win, to tell the truth, but i think it'd be pretty close to a 50/50 split.

Mandarin, imo.

What about Sinister's body? He can pretty much manipulate himself.

Also pretty much blitzed Sabretooth, to mention a quick speed feat.

can he regenerate from disintegration? not sure. mandy is pretty skilled but i suppose a blitz might work though getting in close may not be the best thing to do. mandy's h2h skills are lethal and he's even fought ironman briefly h2h.

i like sinister, but i could really see it going either way.

Essex FTW.
