Right now, Gorgon in both, but Gorgon might end up jobbing to Shang Chi in a few weeks. I really hope he doesn't.

The guy who one shotted a speedster, and tanked being pummeled by a 30ft tall Stonewall.

One and the same.

Gorgon appears to be trending towards Street Level.
He was stalemated by Iron Fist, then jump kick KOd by Daredevil.
And now he appears to be about two weeks away from finding a solid match at the hands of Shang Chi.

Midnighter's chances are looking pretty good to me...

Whose to say Daredevil loses against Midnighter though? mmm

So basically every street level character? Midnighter has also taken out speedsters and taken blows from Apollo who is a confirmed class 100.

I know. I read that fight. He also took Apollo out by smacking him in the eardrums.

But to say Midnighter is street level in terms of durability is hilarious. He's been kicked for miles by The Doctor and shrugged it off, took hits from Apollo, etc, etc... And he's fast too. Far faster than an average street level portayal.

Indeed. Midnighter is eight kinds of badass.

🤨

I'm not arguing for either side. I actually think it'd be a very good fight and going with the averages, highs, and lows that I know of, I'm not sure who'd win. I'm just pointing out that neither of these guys are street level. Anytime they appear so is because of bad writing usually.

At one point Midnighter spit a tooth at a man's skull and it exploded. I doubt any street could do that.

1. Midnighter.
2. Split, slight edge to Gorgon.

DCnU Mids has been impressive, overall. Finding Martian Manhunters weak spot and even surprising him and taking it to two Red Lanterns.

I haven't read any Nu-52 Mids. Is he that good?

Nah. MM wasn't discomforted by Mids strike, and he hasn't racked the feats preboot Mids has.

Are you thinking of the same instance? MM had to shapeshift in order not to die.

it depends if nutella is involved in this fight IMO.

Yah, and its his basic powerset. He could have also gone intangible, tanked it, used his TK to stop the punch...

That's like saying Hulk can kill Juggernaut, except Juggy has to use his enchantment in order not to die.

Or Batman can kill Superman, except Superman has to use his durability to survive.

Or Harley with a gun can kill Wolverine, except etc etc you get it lol.

Good feat, but compared to what preboot did? Not THAT impressive.

It doesn't work that way. MM showed he was fast strong enough to kill a Martian with a single hit. J'onn surviving because he pulled a Toguro doesn't take away from that.
