Blade vs. Midnighter

He'll win, but just barely. His healing factor is better than Blade's... but it still isn't good enough to take an evisceration, or punctured vital organ and heal fast enough to keep him in the fight. Classic Mids would take 5.5 - 6 over Blade.

I've only seen a bit of DCnU Midnighter. What has he accomplished? Anything close to using his teeth as bullets or kicking tank shells out of the air?

Those two feats are better than any of Blade's imo, though Blade has some good ones.

What is Blade's and Mids best strength and speed feats in your view?

Midnighter's best strength feat is ripping up a small section of railroad track, and bending it. Blade's is lifting the large demon above his head.

Speed is basic bullet / arrow dodging for the most part for both of them, with some blitzes thrown in for good measure. Blade has more, and slightly better speed feats over all. It has also been stated on panel that Midnighter can sprint 24mph... which puts him three times slower than a Captain America level street.

Cap can run the 40 in 3.2 seconds iirc, that's pretty fast.

And as for the feats Mids is slightly better in strength.

So Midnighter can run about as fast as Usain Bolt.

Yeah but he can run a full 3k at that speed.

Not impressed.

That's because it's not impressive... like 99% of Midnighter's feats, every other top street has better feats at a much higher volume of occurrence.

At his best he is a second rate Deathstroke.

Blade decapitates Midnighter while he's busy getting cornholed.

Not really, Blade crumpled a metal elevator door with ease and ripped a vamps head off with one hand

And casually ripping metal doors from the hinges. Mids is strong but Blade is stronger if only slightly.

What are Usain bolt's speed feats?

facepalm

Midnighter has done better than that... f@ck the feat I cited already is better than that. Not to mention he has he as done everything you just mentioned... only on a slightly higher scale... about a dozen or so times.

Midnighter is stronger than Blade. No question.

How can you see this fight being so close? Mids is going to stomp hard.

Midnighter is stronger, but only marginally so. Blade is faster, but only marginally so. Midnighter should eek out a win because he has better healing factor feats... but his healing factor isn't nearly good enough to warrant him stomping. Blade is more than capable of putting Mid down for the count if he lands a clean blow.
