Captain Britain & Psylocke vs. Drax & Gamora

You're just repeating the same tired lines over and over.

You've never read any of the comics involving Captain Britain, especially if you don't think he's willing to kill...

Look up what happened to Slaymaster, and you can see how Britain deals with martial artists.

That's it, I'm starting a Captain Britain respect thread.

There are martial artists, and then there is Gamora. She doesn't just know Earth based Martial arts, she knows martial arts from several different worlds. Tired or not, Brian would not be a challenge for her. She beat classic Rogue, and the She Hulk in seconds, and they attacked her at the same time. Brian would have been pulled down by that duo, and beaten up. There is a difference in skill here, and unless you can show me some way that he is her equal in combat there is no reason in the world that Brian should last more than a couple seconds against Gamora. If she can damage Thanos, what do you think that she would do to Brian? Do you think that he possesses the skills to stop her from hitting him or something?

That's not just a ridiculous no-limits fallacy, but also one that ignores all of Gamora's losses.

You don't have to be as skilled as Gamora to beat her, that's a ridiculous notion.

Pressure points are different with Britain, as Slaymaster notes, because you have to get through his forcefield first.

For this match it doesn't matter, since Psylocke kills her instantly.

You don't need to be unbeatable to beat the hell out of Brian though. I already said that Betsy is the real threat here, but then again she may not be as effective against Drax. If Gamora took on Brian, she would win. His force filed is not up to par with Cain's, let's not pretend that it is. Did it stop him from losing the eye? Did it stop Carol from beating him up? Like I was saying, once Brian is taken out of the equation, Betsy would have to contend with both Drax, and Gamora. Since both Drax, and Gamora automatically know Betsy's abilities, choosing the appropriate dance partner would be as simple as engaging them from the start. I question Betsy's ability to deal with Drax because he may have strong TP resistances, after all he was created to kill a very powerful telepath (Thanos).

Show me one instance of Brian's force field no selling someone as strong as Gamora, and I can't understand for the life of me, why you want to compare her to an inferior specimen? No she is not invincible, but neither is Brian. The difference is that she can actually fight far better than he can. This isn't going to somehow change.

You can wait for the respect thread 🙂

Can't wait to see it. Are you working on it?

Switching partners won't help, since Psylocke can shut Gamora off regardless of who she fights.

I don't think Thanos has ever assaulted Drax telepathically, although I doubt it'd matter. Drax's anti-Thanos aura seems to apply only to Thanos. For example, he can punch holes through Thanos, but Bendis-force Young Jean had to save his whole crew from Gladiator. We saw the Matriarch control him mentally too, so I'd argue Psylocke could.
