Psylocke can redirect the arrows back at the Uruks.

don't get why any one is picking colossus he would not be very effective

Well, they could throw him down, and he could just start tearing Uruks apart, but I agree he's not the best choice.

The best three choices are, as I stated: Cyclops, Havok, and Psylocke.

Honorable mention: Gambit

Well because he could block a doorway and no one is moving him.

...............all they have to do is go around him............making him utterly useless.

some villians included too. your choices are as follows:

cyclops (no omni blast)
wolverine
beast
colossus
shadowcat
gambit
nightcrawler
havok (can he omni blast? if he can, he can't here)
pyro
pyslocke
sabertooth
toad
warpath
x-23
emma frost (no mind powers, just diamond form)

now, the point of this isn't to take out the whole army or survive. the point is to prevent the army from getting inside helms deep. which 3 x-men or villians would have the best chance at stopping the army from getting inside?


3 of them?
Havok, Colossus, Warpath.
Havok would tear apart most the Uruk Hai army by himself, Colossus alone with some hand claps and his bare fist would do the same.Warpath at his old power levels was a beast, now despite being less powerful he could surely do high damage considering he can also fly and has superspeed.Hell, Gimly and Aragorn alone who are nowhere powerful as those 3 X-Men were able to take down all those on the bridge.

yes and have read the book many many times. there is a lot of places for people to get around him. the only palces he might be effective is on the bridge and even then there jsut so many better options.

The bridge was the reason they were overrun at least one of the main reasons, and the book doesn't really matter to this thread.

oh no no no no. I talking about a different bridge. not to huge one that got blown up. I ment the one leading to the main doors. there no way colossus could effectivly defend the large bridge he far to slow.

there jsut way more people who are far more effective in this scenerio.

Truth be told I see Pyro as being the most effective in this particular scenario. ALL armies carry torches and nothing can top the effectiveness of playing upon a living creature's primal fear of fire for dispersing large groups. 10 bucks says he'd have the army running home in terror of something like a Demon construct within a half an hour.

yup, moral is a huge element to warfare and a flame dragon spawned from the torch's of the orcs will drop moral like it was attached to a lead weight.

I'd go with Cyclops, Havok, and Pyro. Pyro would absolutely wreak destruction on the army with all the torches they carry. Cyclops and Havok would have no problem taking down the trolls and any Uruk-hai who manage to escape the fire.

oh yeah and i would replace wolverine for sabretooth, creed would have an orgasm killing all the orcs since this is the first time that he would be allowed to murder to his heart's content without reprocussions.

in fact he might over time take over a large portion of middle earth, he is suited for that kind of time period. planet creed anyone?

Ahem, boulder nukes with Gambit.

Nightcrawler would be fun to watch, teleporting the ladders out from udner the invaders while they try to climb
pyro or havok could probably do best against big numbers, since they have the range, cyke to, but w/ out his omni blast hes got a pretty narrow beam

but if magneto was available, he'd massacre them all
quicksilver too

How well did Gimli do in the movie? They cant even hurt Colossus and he doesnt tire. He will do great as a close up fighter and is far from slow.

I'd go for the Colossus, Gambit, Wolverine combo. The boulder-nukes would wreak havoc among the tightly packed orcs while Wolverine could hold the bridge. No orc will get past him! They would likely turn tails and run from him.

Honorable mention: Pyro (fire dragon FTW)

pretty much. whatever gimli did, colossus can do 200X better.

-the gate crasher bomb: pushed back, thrown away, broken before fuse gets lit, the handlers beaten to death, or the explosion itself gets blocked by colossus himself.

-nothing in middle-earth is a tenth as strong as he is, dryads (or whatever the tree guys are called) included.

-far faster and agile than anyone on the fellowship.

-practically invulnerable to everything in that world.
