What a Strange gauntlet!!!

*Enthusiastically nods at Stilt with a weird head bobbing motion. You know what it looks like*

Dr Strange is ONLY using h2h abilities. He can call upon his magic ONCE per fight, and only then to enhance his punches/kicks (but not durability or speed. How does that work? MAGIC!!)

His opponents see a guy with a neatly trimmed goatee. They too will not use their meta abilities, only h2h skills. If they have enhanced strength or speed, they will hold back, because I as OP say so. However passive abilities like DS' 90% brain use (or whatever) are still in play.

1. Green Arrow (pre-52, after undergoing training, but in street clothes and no gear)
2. Moon Knight (full moon, in a tuxedo because he's at a party)
3. Deathstroke (in his pajamas)
4.Elektra (no weapons, no weird TP powers. No Stilt, she is fully dressed).
5. Iron Fist (he can use it once, and doing so tires him out immensely, and he knows this)
6. Batman (as seen when WW blindsided him - no Batsuit, no gear, nothing).

Go!

As OP, I reserve the right to add further stips/clarifications as and when smartarse posters try to find loopholes 👆

Anyway, he stops at 2.

Maybe he could take Bitchstroke out, too.

That's it.

Strange has admitted himself he's not on Iron Fist level.

Elektra is good enough to give Danny hell, even forcing him to cheat w/ a point-blank chi blast in order to win.

A good sparring partner for Strange would be someone like Storm, I think. They both tend to rely on their powers most of the time, but they can kick ass in h2h if necessary.

Maybe I should have put more X-Men in....that might be gauntlet part two. Cyclops, Storm, Susan Storm, a Robin (or Spoiler), that kinda thing.

Yeah. Something more fair.

That gauntlet makes more sense 👆

He'd beat Cyclops' ass in front of Pr vin

They'd kick his ass in.

That's like calling the Battarang a cheat. 😛

But he shouldn't even need it against Strange, amped or not.

You can't even spell it.

And it very much was cheating. Danny doesn't even use blasts often.

If Elektra mindfucked him, it would be unfair, too.

Would like to see her try it.

Considering Danny has multiple showings of using mind melds and reversing brain washing, I bet he can counter her power.

Or at least resist enough to keep fighting.

Replace psionic attack with her silent scream, then.

At point blank.

He survived a nuke man. 😛

Strange doesn't make it pass one.

Only because he was ready for it.

Elektra survived worse energy blasts and superhuman attacks that Danny's feeble chi blasts, too.

Ollie gets fisted anally.

Like what?

You know how devastating the IF can be. Stopped a speeding train way back in the 80's, took down Bres, punched into the heart of Null, etc. In terms of area of effect damage, he's virtually a kung fu Nitro, and not just any Nitro but the one who kicked off Civil War.

The top scan is always shown when someone wants to play up Strange's rarely used h2h skills. But all he did was dodge one attack and then used magic to defeat both Black Panther and Mantis.

Strange was actually surprised attacked twice in that issue, Mantis kicked him when he was in disguise as an old woman. Also Black Panther got a hit and grabbed him, so Strange had to use the eye of agamotto to free himself.

Let's not pretend that Pre-52 Ollie has never dodged or blocked an attack from Deathstroke, Constantine Drakon, Batman, etc.

Having a character that uses h2h regularly vs one who rarely uses it isn't going to end well for the latter when stats are mostly equalized.

Optic blasts and Skrullossus' fists.

Whiplash II tendrils.

But we're not talking about the IF. Try to stay focused.

We're talking about Danny's chi blasts. His ranged attacks.

There are very few of those and they are mediocre.

Plus he can only actually use the punch once in this thread, and if he does, he'll be exhausted (and he knows this)

Fair enough, fair enough.

I have zero respect for GA. What has he done, other than getting kneed in the balls?

The second gauntlet is much better, let's be honest.
