James Howlett vs. Eric Brooks

Started by Mr.Mxyzptlk14 pages

Looking at his respect thread, it doesn't look like Blade has even ever fought any real Martial artists of any merit.

Exactly. Blade has his own corner in the Marvel Universe, we haven't got a chance to see how he would perform against the likes of Daredevil or Shang-Chi.

While it is an easy assumption Wolverine wins in Durability and Healing Factor, could we please still address it?

It's become a point of contention for the reason behind me making this thread.

About speed. Spider-Man initially thought Logan was faster than him, mistook Daken's vanishing trick that he accomplishes thanks to his pheromones for Wolverine-lv speed... we know Logan is faster than Thor and Namor...

Blade and Logan are much closer in this department than in others, granted. But Logan has more showings and replicated or even outperformed most of Blade's feats, if not all.

Wolverine's speed and reflexes:

1. Respect thread p1, speed section

2. Respect thread p18, last posts by jinzin

3. More stuff in the thread that needs to be organized... there was a scan of Wolverine cutting Cyclops' knife faster than he could see, preventing him from killing a deer. In the The Best There Is he moved faster than a mini-rocket.

4. Nice compilation here by srank:

Speed of thought. A severely weakened, Wolverine shows Psylocke that his thought and action are one in the same.

An actually number, Wolverine's reaction time is .038 seconds.

Wolverine blitzes four bikers, killing them all simultaneously.

Both Wolverine and Sabretooth are almost too fast for Psylocke to follow.

A terrorists decides to take a shot at Wolverine from more than 20 feet away. The bullet grazes Wolverine's cheek and he speed blitzes his assailant, closing the ground between them instantly and severing the shooters arm.

The Weapon X Program wants to see how Wolverine fairs against a massive bear. He kills it before Hines can say "Four Minutes and twenty one seconds," too fast for the bear to even react.

Great durability scans Stilt!

Got any equally impressive Healing feats for the boys back home?

I felt it was prudent to post something that is being used by the pro-Blade side as advantage for him over Wolverine.

Thanks 🙂 With Wolverine it's mostly about the healing and damage soak. It may seem he has a brick-like durability, but in reality he just heals crushed organs (for example from Class 100 attacks) almost instantly. Adamantium helps sure, but it doesn't work like Cap's shield.

Anyway, here's another nice example of battlefield regen:

Regenerating from getting reduced to the skeleton, nuked... plus chopper feat (since I don't have the scans of the Mandarin one it has to suffice):

Almost immediately after that he gets nuked at ground zero; He heals a few hours later and his reaction is priceless:

Heh.

Scalphunter scan - Wolverine was preoccupied, giving orders and fighting. Here he faces Blade alone. It's PIS anyway, there is a bone behind the eye that is laced with adamantium. Sphenoid bone.

Deadpool scan - Logan lost on purpose as that was his plan.

Last two scans from "Get Mystique" arc involve Logan with severely taxed HF.

Nice Healing feats too.

The cropped collage was just being used that head shots are an effective tactic at flooring Wolverine, if temporarily.

Ty.

Regular headshots are ineffective. He got shot in the brain. Blade won't be able to do that in the PISless forum fight with no outside help (Scalp), prepping the battlefield (DP) or other factors like Wolverine fighting while starved, dehydrated and exhausted.

1. Wolverine 6-7/10
2. Blade
3. Blade

The writer said that Blade and Wolverine were equals and wanted Blade to come out slightly on top, however we now know it's canon that Wolverine can fight off a vampire infection (we know it does paralyze him though and it takes a couple of seconds) however, Blade also knows that Wolverine can fight it off (he was there when Wolverine fought it off) Blade however has an unknown number of magical artifacts (his magical bolo which can apparently paralyze anything it wraps around and his wordsword which hurt a duke of hell)

feat wise they're pretty equal Wolverine just has more feats, the problem is Blade hasn't been featured in nearly enough comics to really know his levels in regards to 616, which sucks because Mark Millar was able to fix Blade in the ultimate universe in about 12 issues.

Sabretooth has bled out Wolverine plenty of times and Blade has the ranged advantage. Also, Wolverine's healing factor should ALWAYS be taxed based on all the missions and such he goes on from day-to-day. I'm still waiting for Guggenheims Blade vs. Wolverine one-shot to come out so we can have more to evidence.

I mean this shows how equal they are, Wolverine's just has more feats that aren't necessarily better than Blade's, he just has nothing to compare them to.

Originally posted by StiltmanFTW
They are both low superhuman, but Wolverine's has had much more appearances and thus better feats.

Let's look at strength ones for example. Logan broke from Ursa Major's hold, was swimming and climbing with a piano attached to him, used a tree as a club, kept the freight car from separating from the rest of the train, a pickup truck didn't even knock him on his ass (apparently he had to be bracing prior to getting hit)...

Is there a Blade feat that can be compared with those? I think not, but I'll copy and paste the post from his respect thread anyway.

Yeah, but what else would Blade do with prep? He seems to believe it would work on Logan.

Yes, I can see what you're doing here. You're right of course, just don't expect many responses 'cause a) it's been done to the death b) KMC is unfamiliar with Eric Brooks 😛

Blade has magical weapons, and Blade was there when Wolverine healed from the vampire bite.

Blade has overpowered the Reaper (a giant vampire-god that destroyed Patriot (who had been upgraded to levels above Captain America) and a couple of other feats, but as you said Wolverine just has more feats so not all of them can be compared.

Like when? Blade ain't no Sabretooth and it's usually a combo of blunt force trauma and piercing damage. Blade is what, 10 times weaker than Sabretooth?

On-panel taxation can't be ignored 😛

Haven't heard of it. When will it be released?

Are you kidding me? Starbolt feat is debatable I guess (we'd have to compare his and Lilin blast power and all), but everything else is more impressive. Could have always posted Logan wading through Bastion's continuous blasts.

Wolverine takes hundreds of bullets, sword stabs to both vital and non-vital areas, tanks Wonder Man's haymaker and Spider-Man's barrage of punches... they're not equal in this department, far from it.

Magical weapons... that work on vampires. We have yet to see if anyone else would be affected by them.

Reaper seemed to be weakened by sunlight. Do we know how much he weighs anyway? That'd be helpful.

They are in the same range (low superhuman), Wolverine is stronger according to feats and Blade is stronger according to handbooks.

1. The arc when Wolverine killed Sabretooth, Wolverine bled out a couple of times. But why can't we ignore on-panel taxation like on a daily basis Wolverine fighting an assortment of foes and working his healing factor, there are obviously things that weaken it, but his healing really does depend on the writer. I e-mailed Guggenheim about the Wolverine vs. Blade fight a while ago, he confirmed that his third Blade project was a Blade vs. Wolverine one-shot. Tom Brevoort confirmed this on his Formspring.

2. I mean Blade tanked a blast that shot Captain Britain out of the country, and he withstood the explosion of a Nuclear Facility. I do agree that Wolverine is more durable though which is why I gave him the 6-7 in a straight fight.

3. Well for one I just referenced a weapon that worked on a Duke of Hell, and Dr. Nemesis analyzed his magical bolo and couldn't explain why it worked, Vampires don't have any magical weaknesses that humans dont have outside of the wooden stake to the heart, silver, and sunlight. So you really can't assume something that works on them wouldn't work on anyone else. The point however is Blade has an assortment of resources to draw upon so he would most like win fights 2-3 more often than not. Sunlight doesn't weaken vampires it just burns them up, He was trying to crawl away for his life and Blade restrained him.

The reason I've been saying feats dont prove wolverine to be superior is cause they don't, Blade doesn't have enough feats to compare since Wolverine has been in ten times as many issues as him (literally) any opinion that Blade is weaker in any facet would be an assumption, however it hasn't been proved.

Wolverine's performance against vampires hasn't been as impressive as Blades, however we can attribute this to Blade's expertise (wolverine really has no way to kill a vampire other than decapitation)

Anyone have scans of Wolverine punking Silver Samurai in a sword fight.

Wolverine feats are better, clearly. And it isn't about Logan having more feats. For every feat shown in favor of Blade, StiltmanFTW posted scans showing Wolverine doing the same but to a much higher degree... It easy to see they're HF isn't on the same level.

which is why I gave him the win 6-7/10 in a straight fight, cause of his durability.

What about the factor of Wolverine going berserk? I think he could get more than 6/10. That's my opinion and I'm not saying you're wrong or anything. But most can't deal with Wolverine when he gos berserk.
