Blade runs the Assassins Gauntlet.

Started by Trackz6 pages

i'd say daken, but CIS lately seems to prevent him from using his powers effectively, and wolverine took him down with one stab to the chest.

also does anyone have any shiva feats.

Wolverine used muramasa blade to take him down though.
But yeah, Daken jobs a lot.

What? No, he didn't...

His HF under Bendis' pen is just as slow as Wolverine's, but I wouldn't say that he jobs. He loses on purpose if anything.

No? My mistake. Thought it was it.
Yeah, he often loses on purpose as a part of bigger plan. But I was talking about the few times he did job. Like when Clint attacked the dark avengers, or when he and Bullseye fought Gargan, or when he forgot about his pheromones when he fought Punisher etc

That's because you haven't read Origins #47. Oh and I was talking about Way's writing, not Bendis. Dunno why I said Bendis. I complain about him a lot, I guess that's the reason. I'll never forgive him Cage one-shotting Bullseye in the final issue of DA. Never.

I wouldn't call that "jobbing a lot". Clint Barton would beat the crap out of KMC Thanos. Gargan... I couldn't take that comic seriously. And Daken stunned him with a strike to the throat in DW. Punisher got killed.

Blade's not getting past Shiva...

She has a respect thread here.

is clint really that outrageously written? I never understand why people are so hard on him and luke. WHen a character rises in popularity he's bound to start beating others.

but what do you think about it, is it bad writing or does daken just fail to use his powers effectively due to over-confidence. He didn't use his pheromones once on punisher.

ok went through the respect thread, she's an incredible martial artist, but that appears to be her only advantage...i'm not sure that's enough to win. can anyone weigh in on this?

In the real world no.

Shiva, imo.

If not her, Daken.

how does shiva do it? i mean she's written as an extraordinary martial artists, but blade has her in everything else.

also after dark wolverine 86, i'm not sure daken takes the majority anymore either.

Leopard Blow. I'm unconvinced he could heal from it, since it's depicted as severe trauma to the brain, either through fictional nasal bone driving, or by physically driving your hand through the skull into the brain. And I think she'd be able to land it.

i didn't see that in the respect thread, what is that?

also does shiva have some type of chi healing, that would save her from gun shot wounds?

It's her signature single-strike kill technique.

Her own speed (of similar levels to Cassandra Cain) and ability to read body language (while inferior to Cass) would make guns rather redundant. She has used chi to bring Batgirl back to life, but that's not really relevant to the fight.

Blade has shot spiderman and vampires down, most of the time heroes can dodge gunfire because they're significantly faster than the one behind the gun, i don't see that being the case here. Also if shiva is close enough to use her one-hit kill strike (which i'm not sure would work, since the only way blade has been killed is by stake and even that didn't last long) she's close enough for blade to slice with his sword. Blade being armed puts it in his favor in my opinion.

This is often overlooked.

Meh. I didn't really post as an argument, I was simply opining. But I didn't really read the thread properly anyway and assumed they were unarmed and KO was sufficient anyway.

With a weapons advantage he probably beats her more often than not I guess.
