Isn't Wildstorm content basically DC now?

Yea it is. Forgot all about that.

Erlang Shen.

The Buddah wasn't the first to defeat Sun Wu Kong. But for some reason you never hear about the Jade Emperor's nephew, who defeated him in a long battle, and resulted in his first capture.

Backlash is from the DCU Multiverese. 😉

The single best MA feat I can think of is from Zealot (Lady Zannah) in Wildstorm. She stalemated Midnighter for hours. Let me repeat that, with some context. For literally hours, she gave zero openings to the guy who can run millions of combat scenarios per second and chooses the most advantageous one to win the fight. MNer made his living chumping people way above his statistical paygrade by finding the way to beat them and making it look easy. He's been beaten with guys whose powers are simply too far above his, or AoE attacks that he can't react to in time, etc. But this was meticulous and lengthy...the exact opposite of what should be able to happen to him. So she no-sold his incalculable ability to win MA fights. And then she beat him.

That's some next level flawlessness.

I quite liked Nezha as well, although he had the whiff of the Worf effect....

Zealot is highly underrated. Definitely above the likes of Elektra or Cassandra Cain, imo. Maybe we'll see the Cassandra Cain fight in the future.

great find. She is an alien with low super strength (which can contribute to super human speed and reflexes). But I agree, she's the best. I was thinking of choosing only human level character's (peak human at best). Otherwise, Flash is the best since he can see almost anything not moving.

All good points about her stats. But even given that, the level of skill in that fight with MNer is off the charts. Imo, it's up there with PC Karate Kid stuff in terms of my incredulity that she could actually do it.

Also, she's part of DC.

The last we have seen of Zealot was in Deathstroke's bed. LOL

and how do they stack up against the big twos finest

Meh, w/e. She was Image, then Wildstorm (yes, a subsidiary of DC), etc. etc. The spirit of the thread is outside the mainstream, which that feat was.
