Captain America vs. Gambit

Started by StiltmanFTW15 pages

He did charge it in 616 and some alternate Earth, too.

Why do they always job Gambit out?

Gambit should have seriously won that fight the minute he blew him up even if he scaled back the explosion as not to kill him.

so pissed. 😠

I tend to believe Gambit would win the majority, and that AVX fight was a PIS mess. In terms of power set, Gambit is a highly underrated monster.

However, if we accept the AVX feat as valid, that Cap can flat out tank Gambit charging his costume, then I don't see what Gambit has that can put him down in a forum fight.

Cap 6 or 7/10.

EDIT: (deleted brain fart)

Gambit could have charged it further and outright killed Cap. But Gambit's a hero, after all.

merci. 🙂

i think the fight was actually really good and played out pretty much how i'd have thought. gambit could have killed him by charging the suit more, but of course in character he never would. there's also the fact he may not have had the chance had cap given him his undivided attention from the start.... figured it for a close fight, and it was. i'm not disappointed in that at all, nor do i see the jobbing that has been mentioned. one need not have jobbed to have lost to cap....

How big would the explosion have been if he fully charged it?

Cap wasn't serious and when he got serious he oneshotted Gambit.

I'd call that jobbing.

I don't know for sure. Considering a single super thin playing card typically makes explosions that large, I'm willing to think that an entire suit of scale mail would make one much larger. He killed the Tithe Collector (superhuman) when he charged his raincoat. So it can be lethal.

It's not the first time McNiven depicted Steve surviving a big explosion. Anyone remembers that Civil War scene when Herc saved Cap from Iron Man?

Captain America's the anti-jobber.

Gambit is the jobber.

It's a lethal combination that always results in a win for Captain America.

Although, Gambit as he was first introduced (with bullet timing level reflexes et al) will give Captain America a very long fight and IMO will beat the Captain.

I like that some people complain about the fact that Cap survived the suit charge yet have no prob with the shield charge at all.

Steve is just as tough as his indestructible uru-enhanced shield.

Oh yeah it's Uru enhanced now too, totally forgot about that I guess now it's even more indestructible, wait a minute...

Cap was jobbing.

Glad he put down Gambit. Sorry, but the whole X-verse is lame. A bunch of pixie azz fairy characters except for Wolverine, Storm, Beast and Cyclops.

X-Men used to be great in the 80s.

Daken's durability sucks though and Daken himself too.

are you kidding me?

that was just the wrapping on his arm. what do you think metal scales would be like and you cant say the same for the Tithe Collectors durability b/c he is superhuman in the Gambit mini.. He was able to shrug off Gambit's best attacks and treat Gambit like a nuisance.

facts are Cap took a blast from gambit and it is what it is, captain america always presents insane damage soak and durability so i dont see the problem here, i bet a guy with same durability as cap would be knocked out however cap aside of having freakish durability and damage soak has also insane level of fighting spirit and will power and thats basically what makes him keep going when even he himself shouldnt be able to, and its not PIS if its presented time after time after time.

and even if gambit would be able to take cap with a blast we take into calcualtion the fact cap wasnt even serious at first, however as you saw when cap got serious he basically blocked everything gambit had to offer with his shield and one shotted the guy.
