The List was out some time back...how many of u agree and disagree?

The list is isn't THAT bad, but the scale has to be taken into account, are we talking just Earth based? or on a Cosmic level?

The top earth MAs imo would be.

Ironfist(Danny)/Temugin
Elektra/Shang-Chi/Psylocke
Wolverine/Daredevil/Steve Rogers

Danny and Temugin cemented at the top the rest kinda interchangeable. Not taking into account obscures like Ogun and Stick and (currently) Shen Kuei, long forgottens like The Foreigner (the greatest man at everything ever) or Mandarin and someone who doesn't fight as much in the mainstream like Kitty Pride.

Then you gotta take into account people like HSH T'Challa, who at one point was as formidable (albeit with the indestructable suit) as Steve Rogers. The "arguables" like Taskmaster (frequent bad PIS defeats) and Deadpool, while skilled theres alot to a credit to his powers. Then theres the "not sure if its their POWERS that give them the win, or there skill" crowd like Gorgon Tom Shishido.

Theres alot to consider, you could prolly make a definite top 10, but half the list would include people who havnt seen panel time in a decade or close. Or would include super obscures, like Prince of Orphens or Fatty Ironfist.

No Cap?! Srank is gonna have a cow!

Black Panther and Captain America (Rogers) not in the list. I mean Cap Handled Batroc, even lady deathstrike... Stalemated Logan.

Batroc/Kitty over Taskmaster and Cap is just facepalm

+ The lack of Ogun, Temugin and Mandarin is pretty bad.

+ If you're going to include 'cosmic' MA's like Karnak then really Mantis should be no.1

Had to make room for Batroc.

Yeah, that list was pretty fail.

Even at 10 years old:

Kitty beating out:

Mantis, Cap, Temugin, Mandarin, Gamorra...!

The list goes on.... O_O

Logan and Cap are the top two in my opinion.

The list obviously is wrong

So this is what Marvel considers the best of the best on earth?

this list sucks, where is mantis, gamora, gorgon, captain america, temugin,ogun ? where are they?????? where????? where they at where they at where they at ???

I "woohoo'd" at Elektra being front and center in the banner.

It kind of IS a bad list though. I'm not sure if, canonically, Elektra and Daredevil have surpassed Stick. Wolverine should be above Daredevil. Karnak and Kitty... welp. lol

That list is garbage.

Puck punches Kitty in her balls. No Mandarin either? Pfft

Where's Rhino?

no foreigner?

list = pack of lies

Wow, that list was horrible.

List needs less Wolverine.

superm

No T'challa or Steve?

Not sure what Kitty is doing on there when Steve, Panther, and taskmaster arent on it.

Silver Samurai stated Kitty might be even better than Logan.

Where he stated that?

Silver Samurai stated Kitty might be even better than Logan. I believe it.

Not that impressive, though.

Silver Samurai stated Kitty might be even better than Logan. with a sword, or overall? (i'm assuming the intangibility is part of that)

Does Kitty have some super MA feats that I'm just not aware of ?

Cat wasn't even mentioned either.

Yes. Even Wolverine respects him. Not in the leagues of say Iron Fist, Captan America, etc. but up there.

That was part if an act to fool the Hand into believing Kitty killed Samurai in a duel.

Kitty may have the potential but she's not quite up there if you ask me.

Originally posted by juggernaut74

Yes. She returned with Silver Samurai's Legendary Sword and fooled the Hand, then Harada showed up and helped her defeat them.

Actually its "Shoryuken" (as it clearly says it in the panel when Deadpool performs it), translated as Rising Dragon Fist, a special move from the game Street Fighter, which is also referenced in that scene. Most popularly used by Ryu/Ken and Akuma.
