I am surprised why people are missing out what's clearly stated in the OP.

meh, laziness. not the first time, not the last time i'll forgo fully reading an OP. your pointing it out is moot however, because i still stated my opinion on their relative skills. based on feats of displayed skill, i think shiva has it over gamora. her healing is still too much, even if they are physically equalized though. remove healing, and i'd say based on what i've seen, i'd take shiva.

Yea, I'll go with that.

Id go with shiva if their strength is equal.

Ill go with Gamora here. Shiva is one of the best HTH on Earth, Gamora is one of the best in the Universe.

Who has Gamora beaten in HTH that was on Shiva's level?

Gamora kicked Thanos and it seems that he feels it.

This one too. 🙂

Only skimmed it. Gamora still wins. Even if Shiva is as strong, and perhaps slightly more skilled, Gamora has her healing factor.

Her healing factor isn't that great. It's not on the level of Wolverine or Hulk. Not even close. It does gives her a somewhat more resistance from being koed though. But sometimes you have to understand the spirit of the OP. He obviously is trying to find out who's more skilled. Thus he faultily tried to equal them out (physically) so that skill is the only thing that matters.

The problem in comics is that super powered guys are shown to be no where skilled as top comic MAs. So it's hard to judge Gamaro's skill if one is only looking at who she fought and not how she fought them. We have to be subjective a little and look at the things she did when she fought those guys. We have to know a little about MA and judge how skilled she really is. Meaning, those with no MA experience shouldn't be in this discussion. Based off what I saw from her I would say that she is very close in skill to Shiva.

Gamora's kind of hard to nail down in terms of strength and durability, but I think it's safe to say she's well beyond the ability of any street to hurt. I'm not even sure Iron Fist could take her down, after her showing against Ronin.

But Shiva is being boosted up to Gamora's level of strength. This brings her up a notch from normal street MA, to high Meta MA.

Strength level, but not durability. 🙁

Gamora is darn good, it's hard to peg her as she hasn't really fought her A-list group like others but she makes it up in impressive feats. She stalemated a strike on strike with Logan in one panel IIRC. As her loss to Logan was circumstantial as she was distracted.
