Powerless Arena Free-For-All

Batgirl (Cassandra Cain)
Black Canary
Black Panther
Daredevil
Deadpool
Deathstroke
Midnighter
Thor
Wolverine
Wonder Woman

Are thrown into an arena that magically strips them of their extraordinary abilities, attributes and equipment, e.g. body reading, super-physical abilities, claws, healing factors, enhanced senses etc. etc.

They're given zero time to adjust to their new powerless situation.

No mercy. They are all going for the kill.

Ten enter, only one will leave. Who will it be?

Wouldn't Daredevil just be a blind guy in this case?

Anyway interesting idea, I'm not sure who I'd pick to come out on top.

Where's Batman?

Well... yeah... he would technically be a blind guy... but presumably he should still be a highly skilled blind guy... my including him was partly out of curiosity... and partly out of jest...

MATT CAN'T SEE SHIT! 😄

So it's a 10 person royal rumble ... I'd probably vote Thor in that case, he's a born brawler.

If it was a series of 1 on 1 matches ... not sure ... possibly Black Canary.

Gotta go with Thor. Not only is he a good brawler and a highly skilled one at that, he is also, when cutting superpowers, probably the physically most capable person in this thread.

Yeah I say Thor cause he would still be a 6'6 300 lb athlete presumably. How could a woman beat him? Comic women are mostly built like models, not athletes anyway.

These "depowered" threads are good but also require some type of interpretation. How does a human equivalent of Thor/Wonder Woman fight compared to gods with thousands of years fighting experience? Is that basically like a human with 20-30 years experience? If so then they are depowered more than a mortal character who has a few years experience normally before being depowered.

Also, would Thor beat Odin since Odin would be too old and past his prime for an equivalent human (although he is like 6'9 and heavier than Thor so maybe it would be close)? Stuff like that has to be considered.

How would we place characters like Batman and Kingpin who are supposed to be normal humans anyway but have feats above the best physical human feats to begin with?

I think the characters with the least amount of powers would have an advantage because they wouldn't have to adjust their fighting style nearly as much.

2. Well the actual arena is taking away their powers, not their experience.

Hmm... I'm a little surprised everyone's going for Thor. Although that he'd be physically stronger than most given his build would be a definite advantage.

The women should presumably be more agile and quicker given their physiques... They're also the ones who (with the exception of Wonder Woman) probably lose the least powerwise, particularly Dinah, since her Canary Cry is pretty much the only thing she loses.

And the more skilled among them would still have the ability to pull off one-hit kill shots.

😐

I'd put Thor right above the blind Daredevil, at the bottom of list of who would win. The rest of the people seem far more skilled, and a few of them actually have no disadvantage here. Cassandra would absolutely wreck him, regardless of brute strength. Losing his powers entering the arena, doesn't mean Thor suddenly fights like a ninja master.

no powers means thor will not have his malet... or his strengh belt and thus not win.... or do anything infact.... or risk a forefit

deadpool will act like a crazy man and get himself killed..... or he hides and dies of cancer

wonder women may win because of tactics.. and warrior experience

wolverine would not be able to move becuase of the adamantium in his bones weighing him down.... and slowly poisoning him.

daredevil will last a shorter time then deadpool would.

black panthor is a martial artitist and could take on a sizeable majoirty.

(^NB Wolverine doesn't have an adamantium skeleton in this fight. The magic arena took it away.)

Also I'm not sure whether people are underestimating the size of the arena in thinking it will be a everyone dogpile brawl... think more something along the lines of the Colosseum...

Additionally character interplay plays a role too, even if they are all going for the kill. E.g. Black Canary and Batgirl may decide that they'll team up and try they're luck against each other should they be the last two standing. Or the Marvel characters might choose to team up against the DC characters etc.

Cain drops these mofo's

You could drop canary and Cassandra would have a good chance at solo'ing it. If it's in a crowded area I'm inclined to go with Thor, if not then the more skilled ones should win.

I agree the blind guy would possibly be last (unless he got his hands on a smaller female and it turned to grappling and he choked/broke her.

I can't see any woman beating a human equivalent of Thor unless he was totally untrained and she was both extremely large/strong and trained for a female. How much does Batgirl weigh? I don't have stats but I'm guessing 120-135 or so. He would be around 300 lbs wouldn't he? That's without Asgardian density increasing his weight. Plus he is a highly trained fighter, even if his style is a bit more that of a brawler. That doesn't mean any fancy ninja stuff will be more effective. Look at the UFC and MMA cage fights. That's basically open fighting and I could see Thor doing exactly that kind of stuff.
