Saying Drax doesn't beat him easily is not overestimating Beast.
Anyone who wants to provide the feats that make the following statement (the one that initiated this) incorrect are welcome to:

I may not keep up on X-teams, but I did just scour GotG v2 this weekend. Unless I missed something, current Drax is almost entirely unproven in a forum fight scenario. His measurable feats are few and far between.

Kills then punks Lunatik. He's supposed to be a tough sob and was a Lobo analogue (not quite)
Kills one of the Blood Brothers (Very strong bricks).

This is what he does to a Universal Church of Truth Cardinal. They are quite powerful as shown in the scans...

Peeps can say fodder all they want, but this is pretty frukkin impressive. He not only wades through bug after bug, he takes out a queen in the process.

How about absolutely pwning 3 (a high class brick, energy user, and martial arts master) of the Luminals (Avengers' equivalent of Xarth Three). Uses superior martial skills, nerve strikes, and just plain 'ol arse kickin abilities.
U really missed the boat on Drax my friend...toot
[ugh, I seriously can't believe I'm wasting my night doing this]
ok, so, while I'm still looking through GotG and trying to track down some of the Annihilation releases, lets talk about the "feat" Drax has killing "hundreds, maybe thousands" of fodder.
So, here it is, from Annihilation 4:

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/15248979/Annihilation4fodderj.jpg.html
Things to note:
- Drax says straight away that the enemies are docile because, as a hive mind, they don't think for themselves. The fact the battle is over and the good guys have retreated means Drax's enemies are not aware of his presence, and because they lack will, they are essentially docile. While it is true that Drax may have killed "hundreds if not thousands", he killed "hundreds if not thousands" of fodder enemies who were not even fighting back.
-The same thing happens when he kills the Queen. Sure, Drax shows good battle sense to rush her straight away, but he never has to fight the majority of the fodder in the scene. In fact, once the queen is dead, the vast majority of his enemies stop fighting him. In both of these cases this really isn't a matter up for debate, it is said directly, by Drax, on panel.
-The final part of the feat, Drax has some indeterminate amp because he is close to Thanos. He skips fighting the fodder and rushes straight to Thanos, who he kills without a fight. The highest point of this "feat" is when he resists Moondragon's TP attack, and he does it while amped, so it is hardly demonstrative of anything.
Now, lets see what happens when Drax fights these same enemies, though when they aren't passive, from Annihilation 1:

As we see here, Drax is very quickly overwhelmed, and only saved because Nova Prime decides to show up and save him.
I know I know, I'm supposed to be looking up Beast feats, but I don't collect X-titles like I should, and really, I'm certainly not going to let such inanity stand in terms of what is being passed off as "high end" Drax feats.
There are good Drax feats, and I think the character is supposed to be much more powerful than Beast. In a forum fight, where you need evidence to back up your claims, current Drax does not have a lot to go by.
Beast has 5000+ appearances though, so I'll probably finish up a couple more posts about current Drax before I get to that honestly... The highest feats I have from him atm are using gadgets against Thanos in Thanos Imperative. If he had that gear in this fight (namely the disintigrator disk), he would be much more of a threat, but it is hardly standard gear for him.
[alright, peace, there is a nice bowl with my name on it]

more to come, but ya... we'll talk about that fodder, Lunatik he kills in a surprise attack, he kills a Blood Brother when they are far apart (their powers are lessened the further apart they are) and those GotG scans are against a bunch of no-names.../sigh
Funny thing is Gam Gam can prolly replicate what drax did and maybe do it better... I just think ure underestimating this bunch... 😕
