Oh, and I did make up my mind, I never flip-flopped. I understood that Jim has superhuman durability, but still gave the fight to Cyclops, even in this obviously-biased match up. Why, you ask? Because regardless of Jim's durability (by the way, can you show some proof of this?), Cyke has the necessary skill to put him down. This is also despite this superhuman strength (proof again, please)? I've just looked through your entire respect thread and still haven't found anything that would considered superhuman strength/durability when NOT ignited. In fact, you even state in your own respect thread that Jim was human resistance when not ignited.
Also, Samson the strong man (in your respect thread) was handing it to Jim until Jim ignited himself, which then gave him the arguable win in that fight. And if Samson could do it, Cyke could just as well. And not one of those scans showed me anything that would come close to equating to Cyke's skills. He's a brawler and there's nothing wrong with that. But it just won't cut it against Cyke's refined skill.
I mean no disrespect towards Jim. I've always liked him myself, though I admit that I didn't read too much of his stuff. You've put together a great respect thread, too, one that will definitely be praised for some time.
where did i admit to creating a one-sided thread? i said that others assumed i was, and was implying that i was biased for it, but then they turn around and vote cyke anyway, which is extremely hypocritical.
you didn't see the part where thena telekentically slamed him against a wall and he wasn't Koed or harmed? or the time he was shot up and then fine right after?
superficial damage that makes him seem more human, that what jim hammond sustains. his body is identical to the vision's, there's no way cyke could physically cause any harm to his android body.....as in fatal harm or even any internal harm at all.but like i stated in the thread, he sometimes seems to have human resistance, but only due to the fact that he was made to be a synthetic, and mimic human limitations.
my quote exactly from my thread:
"while not ignited,he seems to have regular human resistance(not always)."
he's never been truly injured by any human though, just KOed(goes along with the sustaining superficial damage thing).if he had truly only had human resistance, then thena wouldn't splattered him all over that wall.
that fight with samson was before torch ever laid eyes on captain america. before he had any training at all. and when he was early in his career.and he still gave the strong man a run in a h2h fight i didn't post......i didn't post it because he lost, but he faired very well before he even had over 4 decades of combat experience and training from steve rogers like he does now.oh, and that was the only straight-up h2h bout he ever lost.
i don't think this is an easy win for anybody, so i obviously didn't make a one-sided match.plus idk how i can make a one-sided match that the other opponent according to you wins in the first place????
anyway i think jim takes the majority, because he's had far more experience, he's been trained by marvel's virtual best, he has superhuman endurance(with distinct limitations), and he's physically superior to cyke. the gap in skill here really isn't enough to compensate for all jim's advantages. i really don't believe the gap is that big anyway. he's had training from cap and a few decades to home his acquired skill.
