choose 3 x-men to defend helms deep

Uruk-hai are bigger, stronger, and more disciplined than normal orcs, but in the very battle we are discussing it was Gandalf arriving with a thousand Rohirrim in the rear that caused the Uruk army to flee into the woods and be cut down, with less than half escaping.

And they might have even won the battle regardless had they not broken and fled, considering they still vastly outnumbered the Rohirrim. Maybe not though, since they were being led by an individual in Gandalf who could lay waste to scores of orcs with contemptuous ease.

Only in this thread there are three Gandalfs, who are arguably even more powerful.

Tbf, though, Gandalf was like a legendary unit.

They won't give af who Colossus is. WE don't give af about who he is, and we know the character.

Personally, I'd pick Cyke, Pyro, and Colossus. Cyke and Pyro would be great for long range, and Colossus would be a good melee stop gag. Such as possibly plugging a hole in the hall if one of the suicide orks blows a portion of it up just like in the movie. Having at least one melee person adds a bit more tactical versatility when coupled with ranged specialists imo.

Fairly certain that Pyro could kill 10k uruks in like 5 minutes if he wanted to.

Can't he just navigate a huge ball of fire across the battlefield? He can reach insane temperatures with little difficulty.

In pure theory, yeah.

But you realize he hasn't done anything in his entire career even remotely close to that?

I see him running out of fuel and getting shot down with a single bolt.

Even remotely close to shooting fire in a straight direction and moving it?

Obviously none of these characters have fought a medieval army or killed anyone.

Come on Stilt, this is dumb, even for you.

A group of powerless thugs would take care of Pyro and you're seeing him solo'ing 10,000+ Uruk-hai 😛

And like I said, the castle must be full of oil, because that was the primary fuel source of the period setting. It's how lanterns and torches kept going.

So someone lays down strategic oil paths. Or, just douse the lot, and set it off.

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?

Psylocke - Her telekinesis has great long and close range destructive and defensive capabilities. She could keep the opposing force at bay with tk blasts, or grab and hurl any warriors who got too close. Plus she also has her telepathy to take control of a large number of the forces and make them fight for her against their comrades.

Warpath - Not as strong as Colossus but he is strong enough to deal with Orcs and invulnerable enough to brush off spears, swords and arrows. Plus hes far more versatile than Colossus with his enhanced speed and ability to fly. He could take point and just devastate their forces up close and quickly navigate the battlefield to stop any forces reaching the helm.

Havok - sheer destructive long range power. He'd keep the enemy at bay

Crossbows don't fire arrows!!!!!! durhulk

And Uruks used pikes, not plebeian spears 😛

Good choices, though 👆

Sabertooth could probably soak up a lot of bow and arrow bolts too. Havoc and Cyclops could provide a lot of support for the other sides of Sabertooth and light the whole area on fire as well.

Bump

It's time for a bump!

Omg, this thread again... it's been 15 years... how any of us are still alive at this point 😂

What we've found out is:

1) kmc has zero idea what Uruks are... OR worse, the opposite, being well aware, but still hoping an average Uruk would replicate any feat of Lurtz, who was PJ's creation and by far the strongest of them,

2) zero idea about their numbers and equipment,

3) zero idea about the differences between the adaptation and the source material,

4) just expecting their comic heroes to steamroll them as any other fodder, which they just might, but then what's the point of versus threads? Established characters have been beaten by much lesser numbers, too. Even A-listers like Matt or Parker.

Isn't Matt more of a B lister?

😂

No.

Lol what a great thread

Anyways the answer is:

-Colossus, to immediately barrel through the Uruks and destroy every siege weapon and bomb they have

-Havok, to melt incoming forces and melt a series of massive trenches to slow and stagger waves of Uruks

-Psylocke, to turn Uruks against each other, TK shield Havok from arrows, TK lift Colossus to strategic points (ie back to base as needed), and chop people up
