Re: angel (classic) vs nightwing

You can guess why.
Dick accidentally rips Warren in half.
Worthington in his classic form was not featless of course, even had nice physicals:
He just doesn't have what it takes to match Dickwing, unless... we're talking about Rebirth only.
Poor DC. They can't do anything without rebooting their universe twice a day.
I give it to Nightwing, but just barely, and due to him having a crapload more feats than Warren of course.
Written/portryed correctly/dynamically, Warren could/should be to flying characters what Nightwing is to gymnasts...
...but he's never had a writer/artist team take the kind of interest in him Dixon & McDaniel showed Nightwing back in the day.
Based on his brief appearance in Thunderbolts, i think Busiek & Bagley might have been that team...-sigh-

And yet you accept the feats post-Sabretooth shredding when he had the healing blood? Hmmm.
In the other thread, you suddenly want to use classic Archangel w/o it.
Hey, correct me if I'm wrong. Warren had many incarnations. That's why I'm confused here.
(a) not sure what i accepted... blue angle above in the scan? i was upping the fact that he could have been better than he's been written, not the version he showed.
(b) the other thread is close to spite if we use the full-on version of arch angel, hence the reasoning for not. in threads, i'll usually say if it's this, than this happens, if it's that, this does because (1) most don't read OP's anyway, (2) usually even if they do, they STILL give opinions about different versions. so, yeah--assume the version that gives the best match up. iow, the one that doesn't make it look like i'm an idiot. 👆
