As pertains combat, is Cloak the most formidable opponent in the Meta Tier?

This is cool, but i disagree with your multiple man one

I mean, given that she's one of the few competent telepaths and telekinetics, in addition to being able to hang with all the top tiers when it comes down to MA ability. Plus her psychic knives can basically one-shot anybody with a normal human psyche.

exactly, and unlike the TPers, being highly mobile really isn't a counter for her powers...

I suspect speedsters could still give her trouble... could she react to someone like quicksilver fast enough?

EDIT: Is Mimic a Meta? because he would do well here too

So, lets start with the children in the Carnage Family:

Carrion slips right through, though, he has some degree of intangibility, so that is understandable [Web of Spider-Man 103]:

Demogoblin appears to fall right through Cloak's cloak here, certainly not contained within it [Spider-Man 36]:

Doppelganger moves around too much for Cloak to contain [Web of Spider-Man 102]:

The Papa of the family, Carnage, escapes with no problem. [b]Oh look, Cloak is behind him too!!!!! So, sneaking up on Carnage, as per on panel showings, is not going to give Cloak a win [Spider-Man 35]:

And finally, Mama Shriek escapes with ease [Web of Spider-Man 101]:

Oh, and ya, wtfpwns Cloak [Spectacular Spider-Man 202]:

though, I suppose you can make up whatever you want to hand wave this away.... [/B]

Indisputable proof. 👆

Then you're thinking in the box.

Well, telepathy helps her reactions as she can see her opponents moves ahead of time. So if the speedster is fast enough for her not to process a response despite ninja reflexes and telepathy, then she's boned. Still, unlike most telepaths, she's not a glass cannon and can take a hit pretty well.

She's basically a jedi.

Edge to Psylocke if she goes for instant telepathic shut down.

It'd be a quickdraw scenario, and I'd bet on Psylocke's ninja reflexes before Blinks (which are still battle-honed and all that, so it'd be super close).

How many dupes would you say there are here?

Jamie crushes all the HYDRA agents purely by multiplying. I can't even count how many there are. 100s? 1000< ?

Shadow Cat and Vision, for their intangibility, would probably be good picks too

couple hundred if not thousand i suppose

And that was created in a rather slow process of rhythmically slapping, creating one dupe per slap.

Still only occurred over the course of a few panels. Without CIS, that could have happened in a matter of seconds. Jamie taps his foot, and the first action each duplicate takes is to tap their foot, and so on. This process of turning kinetic energy into duplicates has allowed Jamie to shrug off damage in the past, and turn blows into fuel for ally creation.

Each kinetic impact creates more duplicates, including the force Jamie's hit with. Anybody that can be taken out by simply being overwhelmed can be taken down by a CIS-less Jamie Madrox. This includes much of the meta tier.

Yes indisputable proof! He's able to engulf an entire subway train but can't handle one human sized being thrashing about. 😆

The subway was driving into him and he was just standing there.

Probably, but it's a little hard to run that scenario in my head. I suppose Storm could flash freeze them all, but if they were operating with 'CIS off', they could behave like a hive mind and just tower thousands of bodies and become this unstoppable force.

It'd be cool to see.

He could easily handle this coming at him full speed :

But not something roughly this size thrashing about :

Makes perfect sense!

The difference isn't the size genius, it's the fact that the train was moving in only one direction (INTO his cloak) it wasn't even jumping or anything while the characters were moving in the exact other direction to get OUT of his cloak. Noone here is arguing the field he can cover with his cloak.

See that? Think long and hard about this and then see why the Spiderman scans are PIS.
