How many Borg (Star Trek) can Captain America take on at once?

Started by playa12586 pages

That is true right after the Borg adapted in First Contact Worf was able to take one out by hitting it with his Phaser rifle.

Man this thread went all sorts of places. Fun to read, though.
Sticking w. my original guess.

I'm no expert but I've only ever seen them adapt to energy weapons.

h2h and physical impact is usually the way to take them down face to face.

In some instances they adapted after the first energy attack and in others, they adapted after multiple energy attacks of the same kind.
Its theoretically possible for them to adapt to h2h, but may take awhile. After all, they have forcefield projection at the least.

Like others have said, the problem is now about being injected.

My guess is that if the borg starts at closer than 15 feet and surrounds Cap then Cap can take no more than 100 borg before getting injected. It depends on how far do they start from Cap?

Large space is ambiguous. Give the exact size of the space and how far do the borg start from Cap. Are we to assume they surround Cap or they are in front of Cap?

Someone didn't read the OP, it says no weapons. that would include injecting Cap with nanoprobes that would then attack him from the inside.

-goes back and reads OP-

Confirmed!

I said we needed a proper Stark Trek expert to give us a better point to work from and you delivered, so thank you. It's much appreciated.

Can the Borg forcefields only adapt to energy attacks or can they adapt to physical ones as well? Because if they can it could limit the amount of Drones Steve could take out before his attacks become ineffective.

They don't adapt to physical attacks like punches, and H2H weapons. Could say they don't bother because it's probably very rare the Borg get into physical fights.

If the Borg are not allowed their nanite injectors here, then it's Cap vs a bunch of slowly walking drones who really don't fight H2H. So he'd keep taking them down and out until he physically tired and that would take some time with his enhanced stamina.

Injection is not necessarily a weapon. It is to assimilate a host, not to destroy them.

You puncture skin against someone's will and inject them with nanomachines that aggressively overwrite their genetics and turn them into a pawn.

That is an attack with a weapon. Just like if you injected someone with air in their veins or poison.

They are machines used to subjugate a victim and make them into a slave. they're weapons. stop trolling

Cap injects the Borg with freedom by puncturing their faces with his fists.

Just like those dang Natsees.

I wasn't gonna... Now, I have to.

So... what about a scorpion using its tail to sting and inject poison? Would that be considered a weapon if its part of their general biology? And would the same not apply to the Borg drones and their nanite injectors?

Now, let the pants pooping begin. 😱

Wolverine's claws are a part of his biology, yet in a no weapons fight they're usually disallowed

In a weaponless fight a Scorpion is not allowed to use its pincers and sting? So...like what does it do?

Is Cherry Darling allowed to use her machine gun in a no-weapons fight?

I disagree. It causes no harm and not meant to destroy.
So we agree to disagree.
Its up to the OP to clarify what he meant by weapons (phasers).

Would someone's fist and feet be a weapon?
If no then how would it be different than something that is apart of someone (like a spider's fangs)?
