anyways.
google national forests.. or redwoods.. and the word california... and see what that shows you... :/
Sigh. The logging concession we had in Papua was around 17,000 (or was it 170,000? I can't really remember anymore it was decades ago) hectares and we had to trek thru it a lot. Admittedly, nowhere nearly as vast as the larger forsested areas in the US, but vast in the context of having to hike thru it with the absence of hiking trails.
Admittedly, I've only been to the American forested areas a few times (Oregon). Prolly, mistakenly, I used redwoods more as a reference to how tall the trees are in this thread but not at the nature of the jungle. The jungles I'm used to are harsher, hotter and (from what I'm getting from your comments) seems to be a lot more dense than where Redwoods would normally grow in.
I don't see how this has any relevance to this discussion and why you seem to have a hard-on for harassing me on this thread... :-/

because i've been to vietnam and the phillipines too..
and the differences between the redwoods of california and the jungles of those tropical climates causes a big difference?
there is greater distance in the redwoods from tree to tree.. and a lot more visibility...
whereas in tropical climates it is harder visibility... and a lot harder to find your way...
if you used a redwood forest.. it wouldn't really be difficult at all to find your way out.. its got a lot of rocky areas.. but with the tree spacings it isn't really as difficult as you imagine..
, i'm not philipino but my friends are... though only a few of them speak tagolog... so that made our experience there interesting...

S'why I used the term "jungle" and not "forest". I assumed, (in my idea of how things), that it would be enough to indicate dense vegetation (w/c I then based on my experiences) and low visibility.

The Filipinos are a good ppl, most are very friendly. I'm part Filipino myself. But I don't really live there anymore. Just not all that keen on the guerillas, tbh. We had to keep bribing them to avoid getting harassed.

i'm vietnamese and chinese myself.. btw.. balut.. is delicious. :-P yeah.. throwing out the term redwoods makes me think of all the places i visited.. and why i would imagine it would be fairly difficult to get lost..
course the "true jungles" i remember werne't really that big.. although i've never been i would imagine landing in south america in the amazon.. that would be incredibly hard to manuever through... heck just the river has waterlife not found anywhere else in the world (god bless planet eathe video series)

logically hes most suited for this type of environment......he really doesnt even have to fight
Originally posted by Sin I AMtrue. though, you're forgetting that this is life or death... Toad can't outrun Spidey so he'll either have to fight (i don't see him beating Spidey in a fight), or resign to being webbed-up in a tree, in which case he'll be killed for not finishing in first place.

Toad's the worst option, imo.

Never a fan of why ppl keep trying to shove those things at you just because you're not Filipino... T_T I mean the soup that comes out is good, but seriously, the little duck chick is too freaky for me.

If they decided to completely dip you in a very powerful acid in a sealed adamantium container (and cover the top), they would.
And even if it wouldn't kill you, not sure I'd WANT to be alive (and healing thru it). I don't think I have Logan's tolerance for pain. 🙁

fast has nothing to do with it when toad can jump the longest distance
Originally posted by Sin I AMyou sure about that? If Spidey's leaping ability isn't greater than Toad's, the difference certainly isn't very great between the two. There's also the slingshotting which Spidey can use to clear far greater distances than any of the other people can by jumping.

Originally posted by D_Dude1210He can swim too adding his speed to that of the water current. I'm assuming they begin in the exact middle of the jungle, rivers take turns, but I still think this would be faster than walking through it with colossus. Given how dense vegetation would be, I don't think spidey would shine here.
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.
Toad needs a power up

Spider-Powers (web, spider strength/endurance, spider sense, spider agility, slight healing factor).Wolverine Powers (adamantium claws, feral senses, healing factor, increased stats).
Toad Powers (leaping, toad tongue, toad food menu, toad strength/agility/endurance)
Colossus Powers (Metal Body, Super Strength)
You keep your existing skills/abilities/knowledge and you are simply given the time you have in the jungle to familiarize yourself with your power.
Spiderman = The speedster choice. The quickest method of travel via web slingshots
Wolverine = The hunter choice. He can smell his prey and might be able to kill the others - or more specifically the one who he thinks has the best chance of making it - and then just keep going along their path. Or kill them all and just walk out.
Colossus = The endurance choice. He can run forever, not eat, sleep, or deal with pain. Also the only one who won't die if Wolverine managed to stab him (whereas Spider-man might IF Wolverine actually DID stab him clean through)
Toad = The underdog choice. You just never know. If it was a group of people that knew the powers, the other three would be trying to stop each other constantly, while probably forgetting about Toad. He'd have the easiest time if it became less of a race and more of a fight since no one cares about him much.
