Black Tarantula Vs Elektra

Like all of them? If you are within 10 feet of an grenade explosion, the shock front is likely going to kill or seriously wound you. You don't want to be anywhere near something bigger than that... and streets are with in proximity of explosions all the bloody time.

Those "special only blunt damage explosions," yeah... they are called standard explosive. Not every explosive is full of shrapnel.

A standard explosion sends out shrapnel, I don't know what you're talking about. What explosion would not send shrapnel flying? Anyway, the explosion BT was in would definitely send shrapnel flying, so it doesn't really matter.

comic explosions seem not to produce shrapnel on average and has a small radius of a foot.. talkin bout frags..

anyways how did bullseye manage to stab BT in the heart?

Is that the cover of a comic or an actual panel, anyway, we know Dick doesn't have a healing factor, so suspension of disbelief. We know BT has a healing factor, and we know he took the impact of the explosion. I'm not saying he will beat Elektra, but he can heal from piercing damage per that comic. Whether that is his average showing, I'm not entirely sure.

My question was when have streets been shown to take the direct impact of an explosion, I don't recall that happening. Usually, they are magically able to avoid serious damage, since it's fiction.

That's my point. Streets are depicted operating well with in the killzone from explosions all the time, with little effect. If someone throws a grenade at your feet, and you jump away from it, unless you get behind cover it is still probably going to kill you.

Being durable enough to tank a shock front doesn't have any baring on taking a stabbing to a vital area... unless you think he is too durable to be cut in the first place, which he isn't.

Not every explosion is a fragmentation explosion, plenty of them are concussive. I don't recall this issue in question off the top of my head, so I can't say for sure there wasn't fragmentation involved... but I can say that an explosion in and off itself doesn't necessitate the existence of shrapnel. It depends what was used to make the explosion, what the device was placed in or what the item that exploded was, what was around the explosion and how powerful the explosion itself was, ect ect ect.

find it funny everyone ignores sasu gibberish.

A fragmentation explosion puts more emphasis on shooting out fragments/shrapnel, that doesn't mean a concussive explosion doesn't send out shrapnel, it does. What explosion doesn't send out shrapnel as a by product of its concussive force? Anyway, iirc in this case the device was placed inside a metal container, in a wooden box, inside a factory full of other objects that would send out shrapnel.

it a comic mindset, they ignore real life logic all the time, trying to pretend tanking an explosion = tanking piercing damage is wrong unless it shown to have piercing damage expelled by the explosion. By your logic ever single street has tanked piecing damage.

that has bn everyone's argument point out his flawed logic..

the question isnt his powerset its what does it matter when its two different types of attacks

Not really, because we know those street levelers don't have healing factors that would allow them to do this, BT has a healing factor.

Becuase they don't have a healing factor that means there explosions magically don't have shrepmetal coming out but BT does becuase he has a healing factor.......really this is your arguement........you have got to be kidding me.......

I don't see the problem.

I don't see the problem.

Because your picking and choosing when you apply real world logic to a fantasy world.

If shrepmetal was not shown being expelled out it wasent. You either acknolwedge that all street level can tank shrepmetal or BT never was hit with shrepmetal. You can't pick and chooses what you like and dont like and apply real world logic to only some characters and not others. '

it simply shitty debating.

If it's logical that someone can survive shrapnel in an explosion, then there's no reason to assume there wasn't shrapnel in the explosion.

no it not, not when it comic world were most writers have zero idea how explosions work.

So all the street levelers explosions don't have shrepmetal in them, but BT does magically despite the fact no such shrepmetal was shown.

your simply picking and choosing when and who you apply real world logic to, which is wrong and bad debating, but lets ask a mod what the ruling is.

I don't remember the issue in question, but Carlos is bullet proof. That might be enough to resist any shrapnel - if there was any - from the explosion, but still not enough to repel stabbings.

Ones designed to by being backed in tarred cardboard or made powerful enough to incinerate or otherwise completely destroy their containment device.

If a building falls on Daredevil and he walks out unharmed we take it with a grain of salt because we know there's no logical explanation for this, but it the same thing happens to Superman we attribute it to his durability, we don't just automatically assume falling buildings in the fictional world operate completely different from the real world.

Hes not completely bullet proof imo he can get shot up and in Blood of the Tarantula hes shown getting shot and the bullets piercing his skin it didn't hurt him however. That was also during the time when he was drugged so his powers wouldn't be working at their highest capacity.

In any case BT is durable enough that I doubt Elektra would be able to hurt him. Getting stabbed by her would be no more painful than him getting shot and hes actually strong enough to completely overpower her physically.

Lately they have been making him look like a scrub but in the Daredevil annual they actually wrote him in a way that was almost consistent with his classic power set.
