Even though that isn't even intimated at all on-panel. AT ALL. Predictable. Shall I update my montage?Throwing a quarter to redirect a tank shell doesn't demonstrate Cho's physical capacity to headbutt it back at a tank. Please. Except for the fact that Midnighter has run better simulations. Him processing 5 in 5 million scenarios isn't a failure of his battle cpu. It's just running through every inevitable scenario. Just because 5 of them lead to clear victory doesn't mean his battle cpu failed 4,999,995 times. He isn't trying to run purely win scenarios. He's running them all and picking out which ones win. Danger runs off a flawed base set data package. That was her very character. Compensating slightly and curbstomping Wolverine half the time means you're winning this argument how? Beast ripped her apart. Beast > Midnighter's battle cpu now?
Danger obviously can't do crap against opponents that she has no massive amounts of raw data to use. Clearly illustrated by Xavier outwitting her because Xavier never fought her. Yes. I've read Astonishing X-Men. And I know you have also.
Don't pretend this isn't a significant flaw of Danger's that pinpoints exactly why I am ridiculing your assertion that Danger's actually superior to Midnighter in this regard.
What did you think those little white ghost's moving black chunks labeled 'A' was supposed to represent?
Spoiler:
The 'A' stands for Adamantium
Cho doesn't need to head butt a tank shell. Anyway, the means are inconsequential, if Cho wanted to reflect that shell back, he'd do it with super math regardless of his strength or speed. Midnighter has never displayed anything remotely close to the type of strength or speed he would need to kick a tank shell back, which makes it pretty likely that it was a showcase of his battle computer calculations. But hey, maybe it isn't, maybe its just PIS, because its one or the other.
Only he hasn't run better simulations. He runs billions of scenarios, and comes out with 5 possible wins. That is horrible. That is less than a fraction of a percent, and that is just the average amount of wins. Sometimes he comes up short of that average, when he was surrounded by three SAS soldiers with guns trained on him he couldn't come up with single situation where he won. The guys he is fighting 99/100 aren't X-Men caliber or even close for that matter, they are nobody fodder that can't even hang with Swift.
What makes you think he is even going to be able to come up with one possible win scenario for either Wolverine or Deadpool? They are both leagues above the dredge he usually fights that he averages 5 wins for. Even if he comes up with one scenario where he wins, what makes you think he is going to have any luck stringing Deadpool along to fight the way he wants? Does that sound at all likely to you? I mean, sure its fine when you spend your days fighting nobody fodder, who are all eager to dance to whatever tune you play for them, but it is much less likely that either Wolverine or Deadpool will. I mean, the last time Midnighter fought Grifter it was a stalemate, so what? He can't get Grifter to dance to his tune, but he is going to get Wolverine and Deadpool to? Thats pretty absurd. Hawksmoor can melee (I said melee, I'm not talking about his other powers, which obviously would rage stomp Midnighter) with Midnighter, he doesn't have anywhere close to the speed, skill or damage soak Wolverine or Deadpool do... but for some reason Midnighter is going to dance around Wolverine and Deadpool without getting touched? Unlikely.
Danger made a 7% error in her calculations during her first fight with the X-Men which she adjusted and reconfigured on the spot. You are making that into a much larger deal than it ever was. As though her calculations which result in her winning more than not could possibly be more flawed than the calculations of a man who runs billions of scenarios to come up with 5 where he wins? Please.
Danger knows Wolverine inside and out, she knows everything he might do, she's seen it millions of times and like Midnighter she runs countless battle simulations while she is fighting, only hers are anchored to data she has compiled giving her much more precise and reliable results. At least as far as the X-Men are concerned Danger's simulations are much more effective than Midnighter would be, and Wolverine has dealt with Danger's, landed hits and even had the upper hand. He'd do the same to Midnighter.
Professor X had prep, he designed Danger, he rigged the battle field, and he had outside assistance.
