X-24 vs. Luke Cage/Iron Fist

Whole lot more likely that X-24 cuts down Luke and Danny than Luke and Danny beating down X-24. I present these two scenarios for the KMC forum public:

- Fight starts. Luke and Danny engage X-24 in a coordinated effort, with Luke dodging and ducking X-24 until either he or Danny can land a good hit.
- Fight starts. Luke and Danny engage X-24, Luke brawls with him/tries to tank his hits, which leads to Luke getting stabbed/his arm slashed off. Meanwhile, Danny gets an open hit on X-24, which does jack squat, and can't dodge X-24's berserker whirlwind of wild slashes, leading to his death as well.

Danny has taken on multiple skilled fighters with swords before and managed to not get hit. X-24 is not a skilled fighter. Danny should have no problems evading his slashes. And unlike Luke, Danny isn't bullet proof so he won't be tempted to tank the hits. A good Ironfist to the face though can probably take out X-24.

I see that Wolverine fanboys are still alive and well.

Wolverine isn't in this thread 😛

I think Danny wins this for his team. X-24 should be able to beat Cage imo but Danny lays him out

X-24 is a clone of Wolverine, the comment stands.

X-24 =/= Wolverine

Fanboys are rarely rational, I find it exceedingly sad that this has to be explained to you.

And who exactly is the fanboy here? Cuz it doesn't seem to me that anyone is saying anything too outlandish here. While I think X-24 loses I can understand why some might think he wins.

Oh shit i didn't realize the Defenders dropped. Time to go binge

logan clone loses

X-24 loses.

It was pretty bad.

Could Luke just grab X-24 and rip one or both of his arms off? Technically, even with an adamantium skeleton, he just has stronger-than-normal human tendons, ligaments, and fascia connecting his shoulder joints together.

Main thing for me is I remember Iron Fist being not too impressive at all in his solo series struggling at times with random mooks and beating random mooks. From memory, X-24 displayed better speed in his fights with Logan and Laura, not to mention way higher strength and adamantium claws. Plus he's like 8 inches taller than Danny. Luke is in a whole other realm with his strength and durability, but fighting inmates, tanking bullets, and walking through bad guys is a whole different animal than fighting someone strong enough to lift a vehicle off himself and throw dudes around with one arm.

If Luke can grab an arm or two and rip them off or get some clean punches in, then yes, team Defenders wins. If Danny gets a good IF punch in, then yes, team Defenders wins. However, X-24 can eviscerate Danny in moments and do the same to Luke should Luke not dodge or evade him till he gets a clean hit.

Any good new feats from Defenders for Luke and Danny that could be told in a non-spoilerish way? Still haven't watched it yet.

There's a scene where he speed blitzes Cage. His fight choreography is also easily on par with Daredevil's.

Nah, Loras sucks at fight scenes.

Wouldn't Logan's adamantium laced skeleton be common knowledge? He's a pretty visible X-man, and afatk that clone is the real Logan (Who is known for gutting people, hardly ooc for him..)

Sounds like Fox needs to get their rears in gear and get us a Defenders/X-Men crossover ASAP ✅

I just rewatched some parts of Logan, and X-24 easily sliced up a an armored truck. He'll be able to cut Luke Cage just fine.
