Drizzt Do'urden vs.... T'challa
Fight occurs in the jungle at night.
The dark elf has both scimitars, the panther figurine, the bracers, and catties bow and lightning arrows.
The avenger is at classic levels, has the ebony blade, his blessed armor, and Rogers shield. (for the threads sake he is equally as skilled with the shield).
bp is able to call on Shuri anytime the panther comes into play thru out the fight.

T'Challa would not stomp. I'm ok with someone saying he'd win, especially with the shield, but it would be damn close. I'd actually take Drizzt in this fight though. I believe his sheer speed (both with the blades and manuevering/running) would be enough to overcome T'Challa.
Guen is also a factor. I mean, intelligent beasts of Guen's size and skill aren't exactly fodder for BP, and everyone involved is more than comfortable in this setting.
Combine all his toys and allow him Guen, and Drizzt is the equal of quite a few low metas. BP blurs that line as well, especially with the equipment you gave him, so this is a good fight.

Even then Drizzt is more of a Nighttrasher level guy than Panther level.
nightthrasher? Lol I think your.lowballing here, DD due to his natural heritage has peak human attributes, on top of the fact that he's in possession of the bracers that make him superhuman in speed and hes arguable one of the best swordsman in literature the guys no pushover. And that's not even accounting for his magical abilities
Did little research and found Drizzt to be a Dark Elf from the Forgotten Realms series......good times.
Though my experience is solely through the early 90's PC DnD gaming series.
The nerd in you is strong Sin.
I haven't read any DnD comics but the spells they had in that series should make a high level warrior close to Doom in regards to sneaky spells.

Just want a slight change of pace here in thr forum. But I was a DM since 12 🙂 anywho I wouldn't place him that high, he is a exceptional fighter with alot of innate and magical abilities. He's not stomping bp but he is more than a.good match for him

I don't think so.
There isn't some universal "peak human" constant that every genre universe agreed would be the standard. Based off of feats comic book peak humans are simply physically better than those of FR. Batman - for example - has better speed feats without Bracers of the Blinding Strike on his ankles. On paper this might seem like a good match, but if you compare feats and accomplishments side by side I honestly believe this to be a spite thread. Panther has significantly better strength, speed and skill feats than Drizzt.
I can name about a dozen better swords men than Drizzt of the top of my head from various High Fantasy and Sword and Sorcery novels... some of who would stomp Drizzt and still get tooled out by Panther.

I guess there's a disconnect then. Not going to argue the point - you and Sin/I just have different ideas of the power ranges within that universe. I think Drizzt is more than a match for Panther, but the fundamental disagreement between our perspectives is too basic to be reconciled through debate.

/shrug
I don't know... the difference seems blatantly obvious to me. Just for example, there has been several times in the books where Drizzt or Artemis have lamented against engaging a "score" of (which I think is twenty) orcs - or what have you - and how they can't win the contest straight up (and they've had back up with them in most of those instances). Alternatively Daredevil will just jump in and fight 200 super human Yakuza juiced on Mutant Growth Hormone... and win. The difference between Drizzt and a comic peak human is pretty glaring.
There are certain obvious exceptions, but for the most part fictional swords men / martial artists from novels just can't content with their comic book counter parts. in the same way that that human comic book swords men / martial artists are typically outgunned by the anime / manga equivalents.

Not sure. There are so many amazing swords men in fiction that it would be a daunting task to come up with a top 100 list... and that's just looking at novels and not comics / movies / anime.
But just for an example there are dozens of characters in David Gemmel books that I would say are more skilled than Drizzt, some by a decent margin.
