Colossus vs. Black King

Shaw gets my vote. He we round for round against Magneto, and easily held his own.

Hmmm ..there was a lot of context. He couldn't pull that in a straight fight

Wouldn't Shaw just absorb all the kinetic energy from Colossus pubches?

Unless Colossus fastball specials him into space.

Mind you, Colossus is the guy Slowdinson speed blitzes. And Shaw can be fast himself.

He wouldn’t beat Magneto, but that wasn’t the point. Shaw can take more than Colossus can dish, but Colossus on the other hand would not be able to take a punch capable of one shot KOing She Hulk. I only mentioned Magneto, because of the abuse that Shaw can take.

Out of Character. Shaw took She Hulk’s punch with ease. It also didn’t look as if he needed to prep. Shaw was also said to punch things very hard when he wakes up to build a kinetic charge. He’d do this repeatedly.

The thing here is that they begin at their best normal fighting condition.

Shaw is kinda masochistic, he even let people beat him up before he starts to use his energy powers. He is like a sponge, taking a lot of damage and using it for himself.

Don't think he's masochistic per se - unlike lesser kinetic energy absorbers (Bishop, Maverick or even Strong Guy), he is actually not bothered at all by the physical strikes.

If there is no true pain, then we cannot speak of actual masochism.

Of course, he does have his share of low showings, but most of the time he literally no-sells the hits he absorbs --- unlike others with similar powersets.
