That's the same as Arkon fighting a healthy Hercules that sucker punched him in the back as he was walking away.

😂

Seriously... what the f*ck is happening to this board...

K.. He was diminished in some way because of the hydra blood. he was also in a semi bloodlusted mode. Kinda evens out then. works for me.

🙂

facepalm

I just noticed Hercules said he and Arkon were equal in strength.

Thanks for the rest of the fight. He took a beating from Hercules and stayed concious. Not bad.

I don't think meant equal as in, he's just as strong, but in a more general term, that now he's facing a God.

Even going by what you typed, Ares didn't fight that version of Hercules. He fought the version that was recovering from the Hydra venom after he fought off Wonder Man, a small army with high tech weapons, and eating a huge explosion.

You fail my friend. 😉

I'm with Zop on this one.

He knows his muscly dudes.

Was waitin on u to get to that portion.. To which I say, Ares fared way better than Arkon. Way better...

I love Arkon, he easily wins the first match by BFR.

The second though... He's skilled but he has never shown physical status enough to compete with high end bricks, this is the guy who lost to the Wrecking Crew off panel people. He's a fun character but he's off his hitting range here.

Uhm, he's gone up against the entire team of the Classic New X-Men, he's got into prolonged battles with the likes of Classic Wonder Man and Hercules, his physical status is just fine.

this is the guy who lost to the Wrecking Crew off panel people. He's a fun character but he's off his hitting range here.

And now for a little context. The Wrecking Crew somehow learned to drain energy from outside sources. They were using the Avenger Photon (aka Captain Marvel, aka Spectrum) to amp themselves. The same amped Wrecking Crew that took down Arkon was the same amped Wrecking Crew that were handing the Avengers (which included Thor, Ionic Wonder Man, Scarlet Witch, etc...) their asses until Photon overloaded them and saved the team.

As I pointed out earlier Hercules stated that he and Arkon were equal in strength. So yea his physical status is just fine.

I found this in Arkon's respect thread:

I don't know what happens next.

Hercules was recovering from having his body flooded with Hydra poison, fighting Wonder Man and a bunch of goons with high tech weapons! You can even see the bullet holes and scars on his body from the poison. As opposed to Arkon fighting a healthy Hercules.

Jeez dude....

You....need to look again and read.

I read just fine. And I provided additional proof in terms of the potency of the Hydra poison. Thanks for playing.

Zop... The book even hinted that Ares may have fibbed a little regarding to the effects of the hydra blood. It implied that he was counting on Herc go bloodlusted so he's allowed to use max force in taking him down.

No mention of the blood weakening him. And if it did, it was completely burned out by Natasha's little trick. He fought Ares on seemingly equal footing by the time Ares had caught up with them over the Atlantic ocean.

I'm going to go and check my Akron collection, since I was preparing his respect thread, but as far as my recollection he has no critical wins without anyone of renown. Sure, he hangs in there and is stronger than Goliath (class 50 hero) but he is rarely shown overwhelming people physically.

Ares fought Hercules after the following happened to Hercules :
a) he'd been poisoned by the most potent venom known to the gods (Ares' words, not mine)
b) he got through fighting Wonder Man
c) he got through fighting a small army armed with special weapons trying to take him down
d) he got hit with a huge explosion that burned the Hydra blood out of his system

Arkon fought Hercules after the following happened :
a) he got sucker punched by a healthy Hercules as he was trying to walk away
b) even though Hercules had the upper hand, Crystal still deemed it necessary to jump in and help to end the fight quicker

And here's more info on the Hydra Blood :

"My Hydra tipped hollow points are about the only thing on Earth, Olypmus, or Hades that will hurt hi..."

Well it killed him when he was mortal. It allowed the bullets Ares used to pierce his immortal skin and enter his blood stream where it was causing him extreme pain and driving him mad.

After all that, when he was recovering, Ares launches his attack.

But it doesn't weaken him any. It drives him into a bloodlust. Which was Ares' plan:

It makes him mad with pain, and he goes into warrior mode (and hallucinating). He's not going to pull his punches.

Yeah and it was so potent it allowed bullets to pierce his immortal skin. You can see the giant holes they left in his body.

This is going to be another Colossus vs Ares, isn't it?
