Sabastian Shaw vs Starkhawk

Sounds like a good fight.

It doesn't sound like a good fight to me. Starhawk should destroy. How does Shaw win?

Can Shaw absorb light?

Is there a limit to how much Shaw can absorb?

He can absorb kinetic energy enough to bloody Colossus noise I would assume that Colossus is stronger and more durable then Star.

I guess after reading up on him Starhawk would win but I would bet Sabastian would give SH a fight

Starhawk has light blasts that would annihilate Shaw, and blitz's FTL.

Unless he has some way to absorb the torrent of damage coming his way in the first moments of the fight, its over immediately.

Ultimately, Starhawk can go intangible, so Shaw can't hurt him.

Shaw's limit varies from writer-to-writer. More times than not, though, his absorption limitations aren't clearly defined.

He absorbed some magic in Avengers Academy, didn't he?

Yeah:

Apparently not even Shaw himself knew he could absorb magical energy prior to fighting Herc.

This fight didn't happen. It was all a mind trick.

There first battle is the only canon one-- and Shaw stomped the Christ out of him.

Shaw doesn't really get a lot of respect or credit does he? I always thought he was a decent villain. What range would you put him at power-wise?

low meta to mid herald (for combat purposes) depending on how juiced up he is

Physically, he can become extremely powerful. Rogue /w/ Ms. Marvel's power compared a [casual] b1tch-slap from Shaw to a punch from Hulk. We have seen him shit-stomp Colossus, Rogue /w/ She-Hulk's power, Cable, Iron Man, Cannonball, etc. We've also seen Shaw give Magneto a very good fight, despite the battlefield heavily favoring Mags.

As far as energy absorption goes: he's absorbed raw lightning/electricity, repulsor blasts, Gambit's energies, Hazmat's blasts, magical energy from Hercules' sword, Holocaust's blasts(very impressive), etc.(aside from raw kinetic power generated by physical attacks, obviously.)

Furthermore, Shaw is nearly TP-proof-- not even Emma could pierce his mind.

Dude is a beast.

shaw may indeed be amazing, however, to the point of this thread, there is still literally nothing he could do to Starhawk

Could buy him a beer and offer him some real estate in Appalachian Mountains.
