Darth Vader vs. Psylocke

Started by Digi4 pages

Guys, I feel like this is an opportunity to do something that's bigger than ourselves. Instead of determining who wins fights, can we band together to drive carver insane?

Wait a minute, Psylock is a good fight for Vader but Vader can beat one of the most powerful being on the planet? KMC!!!

I could've sworn Vader was a good fight.

Psylocke or Vader stomp Hulk. That's been thoroughly proven in this thread.

My bad. I wasn't aiming all that directly at you, as some were using stuff from the 90's. I would argue against using the feats you last posted though. One of those was before she died, and the others all before the Sisterhood.

Yes, I believe she is still at the same TP/TK level as that Remender/post-Remender period. Flightless, but can still toss out TK waves at people.

Oh, and keep in my mind, I'm not saying she loses. Just sounded like Vader might have stronger TK. I'm open to other arguments though.

lol no worries 👆

if that is her current level then i tend to agree with you in regards to her tk. i remembered the sisterhood arc after your refresher course. thanks. her best bet is still tp i think, but with his willpower it's far from a sure bet. i think when push comes to shove i'd take vader. this thread renewed my interest in some of the older x-men stuff though and i'm going through some while i'm on vacation. if i find anything that i think might shift opinion, i'll throw it up here. funny how interesting a thread can be when discussion is civil, open-minded and troll-less.

Yeah, the Sisterhood arc sucked, so it's easy forget. The Sisterhood with Echantress/Deathstrike/TyphoidMary/Arkea was alright though. Oddly, there was a brief period between then and Remender's run where Claremont-era TK feats were possibly still applicable. She displayed flight and fairly strong TK at times, but writers differed. It was almost a gag, and they made in universe references to it being a "long story" and such. Colossus commented on it too.

That's why I think Remender's Uncanny X-Force is the perfect cutting off point. Her TK came back, but she's been relatively the same. Strong TP, flightless, Tk bursts, deflection abilities. She's definitely not blocking orbital satellite cannons nowadays. I'd place her above Monet and below an all out Julian.

I agree. Civility and open mindedness are best. 👆 I've looked at some old X-Men stuff too. The X-men are one of those teams I can't quit, even if they aren't in their best form currently. They got me into comics, so I've got a special affection for them. Even in this post-Bendis era of new mutants like Hope being totally pushed aside for time-displaced copies of the original 5...

I remember Psylocke making lots of different sorts of TK weaponry in one of the recent X-Men runs. Bows, crossbows, maces and stuff.

That was cool.

Yup. She made a functional grappling hook and even Wolverine claws too. She used to only make like...bats.

Wood expanded her construct arsenal a lot, and was further developing Jubilee's vamp abilities before the Young X-Men took the spotlight. Yay for clones of characters we already have!
