Proxima was stalemating Luke Cage though it kinda looked like she could have straihht wrecked his ass if she had really cut loose.

There's also the brief skirmish she had in Wakanda.Shuri pierced her with a spear, she threw her magical spear back at her and a Wakandan soldier intercepted it.
Yeah. This was kinda..meh..It obviously didnt hurt her but it still pierced her. And one time she throws her spear a legit speedster cant dodge it but next time some no name can intercept it.

Which is why I don't see her as that formidable. On balance, she has one good showing (tagging Monica) and one bad showing (random no name).
She has one good showing (taking Cage's best blows) and one bad showing (a spear went nearly all the way through her).
So it all averages out.

And then he started talking about his concussion, broken ribs, and him swallowing teeth, while she was pretty much unaffected. Naturally he was in her league.
Originally posted by Branlor SwiftI don't remember him talking about swallowing teeth (but that could just be due to me having a bad memory), I do remember that he was drawing blood from her and that she seriously wanted him dead (and yet he was still standing and opposing her). Also, we don't really know is she was seriously hurt or not because we never saw her tell just how badly she was hurt and it hasn't been stated whether or not she has some sort of healing factor.

She looked perfectly fine, and was arguing with Thanos about wanting to continue. Although that might be due to Land. But she hasn't shown any wear in any appearance. Considering she's like the most used one, it'd be redundant for her to be seriously injured by Cage, yet do pretty much all the work for the others.
