Colossus is the simplest solution. But I think I'd actually go with Logan, find a river, jump in it and let it carry me out of the jungle into the sea. colossus would be too heavy for this and the others lack the damage soak and HF to just go with the flow, no matter what it turns out like.
I feel bad for toad as no one chose him.
@ddude:
You are the one constantly deriding abyones choices thats NOT spiderman. I responded to your various claims that you had so much experience as a child that spideys powers was the oh so obvious choice... And then reapond by saying youll just web up the others... As if they couldnt fight back...
Making claims that choosing one of the other choices would cause you to get lost...
That its your skill set with their powers but for whatever reason you make these odd commets that i you walk in a forest you are bound to walk in a circle based upon no clear facts whatsoever...
... Basically i called bs on almost all your comments and you respond by attacking me with female hygeiene product comments. Nice.
And btw if you ever have spent time in a forest... Much less a jungle.. Youd know the basics of survival. :-/
And in one comment youll say youll stick to the canopyy for the visibilty but in the other youll follow colossus around... Which ome is it... Lol...
@ddude... Seriously have you ever gone camping or hiking before....
I live in the central valley of california... Im less than hour twos my whole life from sequoia, yosemite... Sierra national forest...
Ever hiked the halfdome? Its beautiful, scary the first time... And not everyone makes it to the end their first time up.

If this is the case then I apologize. Please point out where I "derided" ppl's choices, so I can take it back. I'm sure my language must have just come out differently (I'm not american).
This is a debate/discussion forum, dude. We exchange ideas, thoughts and knowledge and disagree on items and express our opinions on things. I simply expressed my disagreement on the opinions of others as well as presented information to support it. Didn't think doing that was actually a bad thing.
It WOULD be nice if some ppl did this in a friendly manner instead of an aggressive manner, tho.
I'm really trying to be as civil as I can here, not sure why you suddenly zeroed in on me and decided to come up with this confrontational attitude.

I'm sorry. My time in the jungle mustn't have taught me anything...
I'm sure in the jungles you go to, the threat of getting lost must not be a reality.

I apologize for that. But you seem to be HIGHLY aggressive and highly confrontational for some reason. This thread was made for fun, not for fighting. Any chance you can drop this attitude?

I thought this was the point of debating forums. Ppl offer you ideas and you evolve your own ideas once new information is available? In a race situation you're more than allowed to evolve your game plan when ppl start implementing theirs.

Dad used to own a logging concession in the Philippines and Papua, New Guinea. Took me hunting there as a child. It was harsh, hot, humid, an assortment of biting and crawling bugs were everywhere and the constant threat of snakes lingered with every step and where we had to always keep an eye out for guerrillas (in the Phils).... Always hated it (w/c prolly contributes to why I'm such a comic buff, I'm not a big fan of the outdoors).
But yeah, did a lot of camping from when I was 7 til I hit 15. Wish I could appreciate it the way you do, but I don't. I hear Yosemite is pretty, tho, so I'm sure that helps. We used to go hiking where the jungle was really dense and dangerous but I wouldn't really say that there was a threat of getting lost (we had guides following us around at all times) but I was always taught that keeping your orientation (w/c is done by finding the high ground) is critical in case I get lost hunting alone (he seems to have believed that I'd still be hunting til I was older). I don't really know what jungles you've been to, but where I've been the threat of getting lost was always a reality if it weren't for the gear and guides.
S'why I keep stressing my point about orientation. You get no gear in all this. No compass. No trails. No map. No guides. It's also a race. Anything that would make you stop and re-orient yourself (like checking where moss grows, w/c, admittedly, I was really never taught to do) wastes time. Being able to zip around above the canopy allows you easy orientation and very little chance of getting lost with minimal time needed for reorientation.

Except that without some sort of directional sense or compass, u stand a good chance of making a wrong turn (believe it or not, walking straight usually ends up in you walking in circles due to leg preference, etc.) and ending up getting lost. 🙂Not saying it'll happen. But it's a possibility.
Jumping out is a risk, too. Landing is always chaotic and you might end up losing your heading with each landing.
Also, if I chose Spider powers, I'd actually try and hinder him by webbing him in the eye at long range every chance i get.

I'd pick Spider-Powers and just go hiiigh up in the trees and web ppl to slow em down. 😉

We all have biases. 😛 It's more of my idea on how I would play it out. I DO think Spidey has the tools to get across better, IMO as he can cover more ground while high up in the trees and get a better orientation of the area.Colossus leaping around would mess with his orientation and would get him lost more often that not. Plus his lumbering would prolly clue the others to his location to allow them (mostly Spiderman) to slow im down when needed.

Whoa! No need to get snippy. O_oChill brotha. This topic was made as more of an opinion poll of the best means to get across. It's to debate, share ideas and information as well as to trade opinions on what the best means of getting out of the jungle is and what ppl believe is the best way.
Like I said, snakes wont be a problem and being able to leap and stick to the top of the the canopy will do TONS on being able to keep your orientation. Don't care how strong Colossus is, he's not gonna be able to wade thru thick redwoods like they're just air. They're gonna slow him down as well as give out his position. Also, chaotic means of movement will always be a problematic venture. I did a lot of hunting in the jungle back when I was as a kid and keeping your heading is always a problem, even when you're slicing thru the vegetation (w/c DOES help in keeping track on where you've been but not so much in distinquinshing the direction you're going).
Even when Colossus topples trees, he won't be able to see above the canopy (w/c is many stories high) unless he starts knocking down trees (w/c takes time) and even then, unless you have an eidetic memory, you won't always be able to remember w/c tree went where and w/c direction u were facing as it happened.
Remember you don't have an easy sense of time here, the canopy covers most of the sky and w/o knowing w/c way is north/south you mind end up walking in circles.
My opinion can change on whether or not Spider powers are the best here. Just need to read enough opinions to change my mind. 😄

Sigh. Being constantly above the canopy allows you to survey the area a lot more easily and allows you to consistently figure out your heading and orientation. I'm not saying it gives you a "magic sense of direction", I'm just saying that among the choices, it gives you the most time above the canopy.
Granted Wolverine can do the same, being as that he's almost as agile, he doesn't have Spiderman's ability to leap and cling to trees (w/c would make it easier to move around in that fashion) and Wolvie would lose if it came down to a race of jumping from tree to tree.
Colossus leaping from tree to tree would be clumsy (or at the very least not as nearly as nimble as spiderman) and him making huge leaps above the canopy (does he have any feats/showings of him leaping long distances?) would be just as clumsy/awkward.

vast jungle... how vast...
btw mentioning redwoods.. as you have... you do know that california... is known for its redwoods... right?
and do you know the overall size of our forest area compared to the entire area of the a single island in the phillipines right?
anyways.
google national forests.. or redwoods.. and the word california... and see what that shows you... :/

Sigh. Gonna just ignore rotiart now. It seems he just want to troll/harass me for some reason. It seems, for him, any kind of differing opinion is some form of derision. Can't really change that, I guess.
Anyway, the water thing might work (it'll def get you out), but might not be as fast as simply leaping from tree-to-tree from the top of the canopy.
