beast actually trains his brachiation skills, and his body is suited for that mode of travel.

but, the heat and humidity of that environment has to be shitty for mr. mcCoy, and the sheer distance he has to travel is imo outside of his capabilities. also, the amazon rainforest is not a flat plain, it has drop-offs and rivers throughout it' expanse.

and spider man is also prone to overheating, and the ills of the rainforest can kill him.

my vote is that nobody gets out alive under their own power. it's too large.

the race takes place in december

so. it's freakin' brazil.

in winter any tropical climate is always gonna be not as hot as the rest of the year. im sure they can make it upper 70s swinging around

Beast, Nightcrawler, and Spidey have the highest chance of going the furthest, since all three of them are superhumanly agile, and can contort their bodies into poses that would make it extremely easy to traverse and navigate the jungle. Plus beast can grip just about anything, even climb up a building by jamming handholds into it, and Spidey and Kurt can stick to any solid surface. The symbiotes come in close second, because they're similar to spidey, but they aren't as good as him when it comes to not using their webs or tendrils to get around.

Catwoman has absolutely no chance, and Dr Octopus could potentially wreck the jungle by just pushing everything out of his way, but his speed isn't high enough to give him the win.

catwoman can't even flash for hitchhikers due to the abundant indigenous nudity.

it rains alot in the rainforest.....this will also make it difficult. I don't mean a little rain i mean an f'n lot.

Spiderman likely wins due to Beast and Nightcrawler passing out from heat exhaustion. That fur makes it hot, and that fact that it's hot, humid, raining, and their fur is blue, makes it worse.

beast and nightcrawler or going to get a spear up the ass from the locals due to their appearance, and they can't even ask for shelter.

WHo knows, they might come across a tribe who worships beastials.

if i saw a "god" wearing clothing, sweating and crawling from exhaustion in the amazon, i would think something is up.

then poke the shit out of it with a spear drenched in poison arrow frog juice.

all the other furry animals in the rainforest make it through out the entire year in the heat. beast might get a little more hot than night crawler since he's heavier but spiderman would be sweating to death as well since his whole body is in a costume.

I'm doubting (unless it has been shown in comics) that guys who can press 20 tons against the laws of physics are going to overheat in 90-100 degree heat. I understand they would generate a lot of heat working hard like they do, but surely they could tolerate both more heat and cold than average humans both I would think. Now dehydrate before going several hundred miles--yes possibly. But surely in a RAINforest they could find a drink or two.

Just because Beast can bench that much doesn't mean he can't get heat exhaustion. He and Nightcrawler have both been seen making comments about how their fur is inconvenient because it made them hot.

Spider-man can swing himself much farther than anyone else here.

Spidey gets farther then the rest, he could leap acorss the tree tops much further and faster then the others can travel.

No webs allowed Placidity, and in the Amazon, the only place he can really use his webs is crossing rivers and such. And once again, in the Amazon, leaping power doesn't mean much, it's all about finding a way to get around obstacles, and using the terrain to your advantage. Beast and Nightcrawler are best suited to this task, plus they can both see in the dark, so they could continue into the night if they paced themselves during the day, and went all out at night.

in that mutant agenda episode of spider man the animated series beast caught up to spidey in the woods swinging when spidey was trying to get away from everyone cause he was all stressed out of what was happening to him and no one wanted to help him.

spiderman animated series isnt the same as comic spidey. Spider man can leap city blocks. Beasts isnt catching him if he leaps from treetops

leaping mean alot, seeing as he can leap to the tree tops and from the top of the canopys to get around easier.

but beast pretty much spends his whole day in the danger room swinging around. no webbing for spidey. i think spidey has more experience swinging but thats with using his webs. beasts has more experience using his arms swinging.
