I like the character myself, but you had it straight from the horses mouth that he contributes absolutely nothing in a team up with the Batman and Arrow.

No one would say that either side was serious. Herc was flirting with her, and pretending to be incompetent, and she was trying to get him to leave.

Not to mention he's using the unbreakable shield and unblockable sword there...

So I can have an unbreakable shield and unbreakable sword and stalemate Elektra?

😂

You can rip metal. You can do anything.

When she's trying to get you to leave the city and not kill you yes.

You swing your sword, she tries to block it....guess what, you're breaking her sai.

Then she leaps away. Does that mean you stalemated her? How skilled does this make you? Do you take her highest feats and go gee, I swung at her and broke her sword with mine, I'm super skilled?

No. He CAN'T rip metal, Jeez, abhi.

He CAN juggle suns though.

You're describing the opposite of "often".

This point Dark is making, it's a good one. And applies to Iron Fist.

Batman blocks his fist, eats chi fist through the guard. Yet somehow everyone always argued the Bat Family beats Danny, like he didn't have a built in cheat.

And I'll stop at that so as not to derail, it was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Compare Herc and Elektra vs Natasha and Elektra

One of those is a vague encounter and the other is a *stalemate*

Dark is wrong to answer "sure" to this question as phrased because... again, not a stalemate. Let's get real and not water down words to pump up Hercules.

Yeah it's only a stalemate if one thinks cutting her sai with your sword that cuts through anything is a stalemate...

Having a conversation with Todd just makes his condition worse, fyi.

You could be sued for torturing the patient.

Shitting down his throat and calling him n-word (even though he's white) is the only treatment he needs.

The Addams Family rules apply here.

No, it's often. I forget the posters names, but I think one was Canadian.

They had entire threads dedicated to The Question as a martial artist. The MA top lists had arguments for his placement using Shiva as a main talking point.

I mean, my memories bad and I never really can keep track of who's still here and who knows who, you're like Brain grilling at Pinky here. 🤪

But yeah, I have personally seen threads where it was a common argument at some point in my KMC time here and just assumed everyone else would know what I'm talking about, as I always do because any time I say I don't know a thing Stilt comes in and ribs me about not knowing the 12 year old conversation I should have seen.

Ok?

I'll look for more with another engine, Google prunes a lot of stuff.

It's also possible I'm remembering another comic site like CBR or Comicvine. Basically I lump the comic community together for the most part, ya all plagiarize on respect threads and other stuff.

This is Herc against his physical superior, when tricked out to the nines with his magical gear, has the element of surprise and his opponent has to spend most of the fight fighting without using his eyes:

He loses his helmet, he loses his shield, then gets smashed. 3-shotted.

Then again, how skilled is Shaw?

I just don't take it as a given, seeing as Superman has his own wealth of fighting experience and Herc's skill seems to be mostly talk.
I would laugh if I wasn't busy vomiting over the irony.

Why does it matter?

He was quite literally amnesiac in that book.

And Herc wasn't the only one to face him there, either.

^ And Hercules was depowered as Sebastian Shaw literally states, so???

What... mortal Hercules losing to Sebastian Shaw is a knock on Hercules' fighting prowess?

Would you guys give Daredevil crap for losing to Sebastian Shaw???

Awww I thought I was the one who needed to disarm the snark

But... my post was snarky... I didn't mean to disarm anything...

... which means I've been foiled and you disarmed me?

What tomfoolery is this???
