Last Assassin Standing

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



Starscream M
Each assassin has been given a list of names of the other assassins that they have to hunt down and kill. This takes place in NYC, with each assassin located in a pre-determined secret hideout. They cannot seek outside help. They are provided access to all conventional weaponry and given cash to purchases any further equipment.

Who will be the last assassin standing? Please keep in mind that this is not a test of just who is the best fighter, it is a test of who is the best assassin


Assassins
-----------

Elektra

Azrael

Bullseye

Batgirl (Cassandra Cain)

Taskmaster

Lady Shiva

Punisher

LOL you know somebody is going to just blantantly pick Batgirl and Shiva. I actually think its hard to say they are all top notch they just use different methods.

I think we also need details on the targets...

No not neccesarily. Punisher has gunned down Captain America something Red Skull took ages to plan he hasnt led the league of assassins the target speaks for itself. However he was chosen by a ninja grandmaster to lead of team of ninjas. Those guys had enhanced sense, some of them had telepathy and pre-cog. However im not actually voting for marvel over dc they are both just as good as each other.

it's a legitimate vote, though. they're in the same ballpark as anyone else on the field, and could be argued ahead of almost any of them.

besides, are "certain posters" any different from the likes of people who would vote for punisher straight off?

Lord Feron
I'm gonna go with Tasky. Has the skills to hang with anyone here in h2h combat. Maybe not win but be able to compete. Also he has a ton of training and not sure about this has access to Sheild's resources.

iceman24567
Shiva or Elektra

Bouboumaster
Between Taskmaster, Elektra and Bulleyes. Pick the winner.

Mshinu
To many variables to for a clear vinner, I give Tasky a slight edge.

Gamerr-X
Taskmaster

AlmightyKfish
I'd go with Taskmaster.

It's VERY close though, with Shiva, Bullseye, Elektra all very close to winning.

That being said, there's so many variables here.

isn't taskmaster a jobber? he didn't impress me in his showings against Moon knight or deadpool

Against Capes he has jobbed a few times, with DP and MK being the most notable.

But he's also shown to be an incredibly capably assassin/mercenary.

I mean, he's broken into the Helicarrier stealthfully and got Director Hill in his sights, among other feats.

But also, he's a great all rounder here. He has the accuracy of Bullseye, Hawkeye and Punisher combined from watching them, and can easily match anyone here in H2H.

yeah but this scenario...he's up only against capes, and only the elite ones erm

Enyalus
Elektra, Taskmaster, or Lady Shiva.

I really can't decide between the three, but I'm leaning towards Elektra.

AlmightyKfish
Originally posted by Starscream M

Yeah but he's in a forum match. Where he isn't caused to job via the plot.

He's taken Elektra already (she's also taken him), and held and advantage against Cap, matched Daredevil in a fight where all he was doing is mimicking him and not going for the kill, had an advantage over Iron Man twice, stomped Zaran and the Cat, has beaten Spiderman a couple of times.

And that's all without going for the kill...

the thing is, the way he jobs, it almost seems like a personality flaw of his as opposed to pure plot device...while beating elektra is impressive, beating spiderman isnt very imo

also, I'm surprised no one has given bullseye any props...he should be right in the running with his resourcefulness, deadliness with anything, and his adamantium skeleton is also helpful

MK, and DP are the two main ones really.

Konton
Elektra has a distinct advantage that the other candidates here lack. Her telepathic prowess. She has the ability to "mind jump" from person to person and stay outside of her own mind for months at a time. This would give her an unfair advantage in finding her targets. She also has the advantage of throwing off opponents via illusions.

H2H wise, Cassie and Lady Shiva are the only ones that would give Elektra a run for her money. Elektra herself is like a physically more capable and somewhat less disciplined Shiva with better showings and special abilities.

Elektra should come out on top with the majority.
I see Shiva also being capable of snagging a few.

AlmightyKfish
That's not true.
Tasky has beat her in H2H, so has Bullseye, although Bullseye has trained to specifically be able to take down Elektra.

That MK crashed a freaking jet into Tasky before the 'fight' where he made him look like a fool.

He used Daredevil's fighting style to throw her off. She overcame that weakness and then continued on to pwn him (In three panels no less) along with two others.

http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt14/elektrarespectthread/th_Elektra_Fights_Elektra_v1_07_17.jpg

We should all know Bullseye beating Elektra and Daredevil at the same time is way out of his normal feat range. She SHOULD be more than capable of taking him down for the majority in h2h. In comics, however, she doesn't. I feel like it was somewhat PIS but at the same time I know he's very skilled and think that labeling it as purely PIS discredits him to much. Idk.

AlmightyKfish
Current Tasky is far superior to when he fought Elektra (he should not have lost that easily imo, he should at least be able to stalemate her considering his MA prowess, but w/e)

And I know what you mean about Bullseye...

Not really, b/c Rhino fails against everybody.

Elektra has had enough to high showing to justify the claim that she should beat Bullseye in H2H decisivily.

Konton
Originally posted by Starscream M

No. Because Rhino is a joke and Elektra isn't.

Starscream M

Elektra has had enough to high showing to justify the claim that she should beat Bullseye in H2H decisivily. Fair enough. But one could turn it around and say that bullseye is the one who is underwritten in comics...the fact he hasn't killed DD is only because DD is a hero.

I mean Bullseye could spit his teeth into your eye socket...what other street leveler could even do anything close to that. Bullseye doesn't use really any real weapons because it would be almost to easy for him...why use an aerodyanmic ninja star when he can flick a toothpick with the same accuracy.

I think BE is underestimated and underwritten in comics.

Teeth, pshhh. How many street levelers can do THIS:

http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt14/elektrarespectthread/th_bulletblock.jpg

Warrior18
Shiva, Elektra or Taskmaster.

AlmightyKfish
Is Elektra stopping the bullet with her fist in that scan, or catching it?

If the former, how?

Warrior18
I think she's stopping it. No idea how. It's from her Frank Miller series in the 1980's I think. Awful artwork.

Konton
She blocked it with her fist. You can see the bullet ricochet in the last panel. I assume she's chi amping her durability, since it's the only thing that makes sense. Drake once commented on how she "spills chi everywhere" when she fights.

http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt14/elektrarespectthread/th_Elektra_Fights_Elektra_v2_16_22.jpg

Although she uses it as a derogatory remark, she earlier states that Elektra is one of the best she has ever seen and that she is a great killer (yet a sucky martial artist).

I wouldnt read too much into that. More likely it was just the writer not knowing or not giving a shit about elektra's powerset.

there's no way she amped her fist in a nanosecond to be bulletproof...thats absurd.

A more plausible (but equally specious) explanation is maybe she had a metal plate in her glove no expression

Konton
I would still stand by chi amping. She has other tricks like the silent scream telepathy, etc. which are all attributed to her ninja chi skills. She's carried out entire telepathic conversations with Wolverine and Gorgon just before guns were fired. It's not as outrageous as you make it sound, IMO. She's blitzed entire rooms full of armed soldiers before a single bullet was fired, so I don't see why she couldn't amp just as quick as she can move. I hope I'm not pulling a 2damnloud, but I believe chi amping to be in her powerset. I wouldn't say it's on the level of Iron Fist, but it's there.

Originally posted by Konton

Konton
Well, it's all speculation anyways.
All we know is that the crazy girl in red freaking blocked a bullet.

Starscream M
Originally posted by Konton

if you look at the scan, she didn't move her hand, they basically shot right at her hand

she's had far more impressive bullet-deflecting feats

Konton
Agreed. Many more.
But it's a unique among street levelers because not only did the bullet not injure her, it bounced the f*ck off. That was why I posted the scan.

......you said the author did not know the character powerset......when the author was the creator of the character........


not that I remeber, but she has used her chi amping before and her making her hand dense enough to block a bullet should not be out side her abilities.

True that. She rarely gets shot, but when she does she's been handicapped in some way. Drugged, sick, etc. Even then, she still has bullet dodging feats when in such states.
