So... are you caving and admitting I'm right?
Anyway, don't really see how I'm a hypocrite since the situation isn't the same at all. Both Captain America and Wolverine are established as being superior to Shang-Chi in skill. It's cannon. In a world of super crazy chi throwing MA's they are considered the top of the heap; the most skilled. They don't need to display the same abilities because apparently their raw skill is enough to make up for their inability to use chi. Not really the same thing, since they are established as superior, Batman isn't.
But what is there to suggest that Batman, Shiva, Cass or Dragon are better than Chi? Nothing. They've never delt with someone like him. If Captain America and Wolverine had never had run ins with Shang Chi and his villains that firmly established they where his better, I would say he was more skilled then they are too... but they have.
Why is the fact that Shang Chi can't beat Captain America, or Wolverine detrimental to Shang Chi? Why isn't it a bonus for Captain America or Wolverine. I submit to you that Wolverine and Cap are more skilled than Batman BECAUSE they can beat Shang Chi, not that he is weaker for losing. The only bases for that is the misguided believe tha Batman = Captain America. Well, that's just not true. Fact is Marvel's MA's are just superior to DC's.
