Ironfist vs Batman - test of skills

This is a skill fight. No amping, Chi, no Batsuit or enhanced clothing. Just plain ole hand to hand. Who wins? This is pre reboot Batman.

The Fist is like the only character ever above the BatCapDevilKidSpace-Pun tier.

You could put that whole tier against him, and he'd come out on top

So Iron Fist with a skill cap?

He still wins

I'd be interested in knowing how some posters determine differences in skill among highly skilled combatants.

do you mean cross companies? In company its feats but cross company I use it more as a check mark unless the skills make them have a physical edge

Probably around the same. I'm just basing this off of Bruce stalemating 3Boot Val in the air and his fight with classic Val.

Classic Val kicked his ass.

Not as easily as I would have liked. It wasn't an ownage. Val definitely looked superior.

Batman was amped then, fueled by his hate of Superman.

"Clark thinks KK is better... I'm going to prove the stupid farmboy wrong." Not the exact quote, but that's what he meant 😛

Who had the upper hand? Is it cannon ?

Iron Fist wins... Batman wouldn't even be in MARVEL's Top 10

It's canon, and they had two fights. That's the start of their first one.

I'll post the scans in a bit. 🙂

First fight, from Heroes for Hire v1 11



Second fight, H4H v1 19



I love Cat, but he's almost like a completely different person between their first and second fights, and Ostrander wrote both of them. I don't think I've ever seen him as cynically mercenary as he was in 19.

Either way, it's pretty impressive for Danny to beat him without the use of the IF, because Cat managed to fight Shang Chi to a draw on three occasions in the 1970's when he was virtually unbeatable, and I can't think of any particularly bad showings in his very limited number of appearances.

Thank you cdtm...Now I can look up the issues 😊
