Who wins
1. A fight, woods are in one half of the arena a swamps on the other.

2. Who smells worse.

3. Who can light on fire faster.

4. Which one is uglier.

5. Which one could mac on more ladies at the club.

Well, I think removing Man-Thing from his own swamp handicaps him. So, as far as the fight portion, Wendigo takes it.

Smellier? I might have to go Man-Thing on this. He looks pretty gross, can't imagine he smells any better.

Wendigo would catch on fire faster being he has alot of hair and it's probably dry. Unlike Man-Thing who is perennially moist.

Man-Thing is far and away the ugliest of the 2.

They're probably dead even on being able to get the ladies.

1. Man-Thing (Wendigo cant harm him)

2. I would imagine Man-Thing

3. Wendigo

4. Man-Thing

5. Man-Thing (the name alone would be the attraction)

bump

the environment handicaps Wendigo. Man-Thing lasted 2 issues with no problem on a frozen mountain, so even putting this in the frozen wilderness isn't going to be problematic for the duration of the fight for him.

I don't know what Wendigo's regeneration is like, but given the environment, Man-Thing 8/10 at least. Wendigo would have to destroy the swamp

Manny ftw

depends, if Man-Thing becomes afraid, he burns up instantly

but isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder?

Man-Thing in any public place can only end in teh sekz

1: Man-Thing

2: Man-Thing

3: Wendigo

4: Man-Thing

5: Man-thing

Interesting so many are giving Man-Thing the win in a straight fight.

in a more neutral environment I'd probably lean more to a stalemate, but in a swamp? Wendigo has no chance

though, I might be underestimating him(?)

Ares defeated Man-Thing in a swamp.

the answer is either a) one of the lowest showings Manny has had or b) there is now a much weaker Man-Thing, and a "classic" man-thing, who wins 8/10 against Wendigo EDIT: in a swamp

Wendigo is a beast literally and figuratively.

I don't think Man-Thing's touch will work as Wendigo won't be afraid. So what is Man Thing going to do to put him down in the first place?

Wendigo could continuously rend Man-Thing to shreds, as long as there is moisture and plant matter (even though in v.1 Gerber makes it so Man-Thing needs neither of these to regenerate anymore), Man-Thing will always just reform.

In all likelyhood, as with his fights against Hulk, emotions would settle, and Man-Thing wouldn't want to fight anymore, and would sort of walk off forgetting the whole incident happened, so CIS would make it a stalemate. But if Wendigo felt fear...

here he completely incinerates the Glob, iirc his handbook durability is either 6 or 7:

Man-Thing also has the ability to seemingly evoke traumatic and fearful emotions in people:

And you don't think Man-Thing can brawl?

and to show some durability, survives a multi-story fall and saves a child, no problem at all:

I never said he couldn't brawl, but none of that leads me to believe he could put Wendigo down. I could see a stalemate if anything.

an example of the type of abuse Man-Thing takes while still standing in a swamp (these are mercenaries who have trained specifically for the task of taking down manthing):

The organic eating rain is nothing Man-Thing can't handle:

and he regenerates around the Hulk:

but can Wendigo go forever? he would never tire? he would never become scared as he is trapped withing the constantly regrowing body of Man-Thing, even though he seems to evoke such emotions?

I'd agree with you in most other settings, but in a swamp? there is no end to Man-Thing

Yes. and Wendigo doesn't have emotions really other then basic instincts. One was afraid of Fire, but so is Man-Thing.

Also like Man-Thing, Wendigo will always just rise unless magic stops him like Man-Thing

and like mungi said "wendigo doesn't afraid of anything."

Man-Thing also doesn't have any natural emotions (unless they are doing something poetic in the story, like in Spiderman: fear itself), and he is only ever afraid if a being whose power is "make people afraid" does it.

but otherwise... oh...

fair enoug, ya, it would be a stalemate unless you think Wendigo is going to get into some terraforming...

damn, and just when i was going to post some esoteric Manthing powers

Doesn't afraid of anything indeed.

Wow, scans of Hulk + Man-Thing + the Collector, such an awesome issue.

I don't recall him being afraid of the Hulk, but that was mid-transformation Wendigo anyways.

we're talking classic, babtiste wendigo in this thread right?

I'd imagine and they showed no fear

Ares defeated Man-Thing in a swamp. Sort of a low showing for Man-Thing. I mean he defeated savage Hulk relatively easily in the swamp.

This battle is probably a stalemate though. Even if one does go down, both of these guys just keep getting up again.

Yeah, I remember when I was young and first read them. Loved it. The covers were cool too.

(Notice the 5 cent increase between issues. Thats was a big deal back then. Lol)

No way I'd spend 30 cents on a comic.

Man-Thing is choking the green Hulk.

Hulk's fist is penetrating Man-Things stomach....

Must be Japan porn, their wacky....and hot.

Annnnnnd that's why I made this thread.

and technically, he doesn't have any Ws against Hulk

He and Glob beat down Hulk in the issue, and any other time they have fought, Hulk just sort of walks off while MT loses interest

Pretty big talk comin from the guy who has an avatar of the character Man-thing's ripping off!

Man-Thing came out first

Yep, by 2 months.

geez, I don't know how you could rep such a rip off of a character

actually, I've never read swamp-thing, is it good? I liked a lot of the social commentary in early man-thing stuff, is ST the same at all?

So... are you gonna do that MT respect thread, inimalist?

I've read a lot of comics, and ST is still one of my all-time favorites. If you're interested in getting into him, my suggestion would be to start reading volume 2 of his solo series around the 50th issue. That's where it really started getting good, and will definitely leave a lasting impression.

Stay away from the 3rd and 4th volumes published exclusively by Vertigo -- they were horrible, imo.
