Marvel's best battlefield tactician...

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



dmills
This thread is to determine who the best overall battlefield tactician is. Please keep in mind that there is a difference between best tactician and best strategist. Strategy is more online with pre battle planning and prep whereas tactics are applied in real time mid battle, using a combination of smarts and skill set.

So with that said, who are Marvels best battlefield tacticians?

My picks are:

Spiderman- I can't think of one other Marvel character who so regularly punches above his weight class that manages to come out on top more often. Can you?

Nova Prime- Cmon, Do I really even have to explain this? Be it flying solo, or leading a group, you'd be hard pressed to find a better combat tactician then one Richard "Dick" Rider.

Steve Rodgers- That is all

What say you?

JakeTheBank
Dr. Doom. He excels in both areas, imo.

Dum Dum Dugan
magneto

Rage.Of.Olympus
So it doesn't matter whether they fly solo or manage an entire team?

Steve Rogers and Cyclops then. Best answers imo.

Genis, he knows all the possible outcomes.

Wolverine. Who also certainly fills the title of 'tactician' better than Spider-Man.

That being said, what Rage said for the actual thread-winning answer.

Logan using guerilla tactics. Keep in mind these guys have animal-keen senses. This is actually the first time when he almost killed one of them using nothing but claws - (...) we heard they had to ship him back to the lab for repairs. Once again he evaded their gunfire.

Logan has a ridiculous amount of combat training and such under his belt, and has stupidly good tactics feats under his belt- I remember reading a scan where he was supposed to be completing the Danger Room on one of it's higher settings while beating a bunch of super computers in chess?

Spider-Man's smarter, but Logan knows combat.

Honestly? Cable then cyclops then captain America.

Cable during the old xforce days when he whipped his cannonball etc team into action against all the other x teams...

Cyclops for the nod when the entire xmen though he was a wild Phoenix and he defeated them all on the fly...

Captain America because.. Well... Hes American and I love him dammit

I'll go ahead and put Nova in right behind Cap. His tactics have come through with far more money on the line than any of the others on more then one occasion.

No spiderman doesent. Wolverine has numerous feats of utilizing his tactical prowess. What do you mean more with less? in many of the feats I am talking about wolverine does not use his healing factor. he also does not have the webbing like spidy does.

You asked about characters using tactics to take out foes above their paygrade. That's Wolverine.

Spider-Man's smarter, but Logan knows combat. Wolverine might be a better trained MA, but Spider-Man whips stuff out all of the time in the middle of a fight and wins, it is what he does. He's like an amaglam of Reed and Wolverine. Not quite as brainy or as formally trained, but he blends the two well.

Nor does spiderman. So I am not seeing your point. Wolverine uses tactic quite often especially against groups. Just as much if not more so then spiderman. He formally trained and numerous years as leader in military and teams. He more well rounded tactically and more experienced. There is no way spiderman is more tactical then Wolverine.

In terms of in battle planning, I haven't seen anything that is more complex than what Parker has done in battle he relies more on his brains than using most of his powers. Especially considering his villians tend to be more powerful than him in that department.

Doesn't matter where he was trained, it's how often he uses it. And military training was not what the OP was talking about. I was talking more about what the OP was talking about. Since he made the thread.

I'm not saying that Logan doesn't have tactics, just that based on what the thread starter said Spider-Man fits his description.

This is mid battle tactic, no preparation of any kind. Spiderman not on same level in a random encounter. He good and even better with prep. But this does not concern any type of battle planning.

It just seems like almost every fight Spider-Man is in he finds some alternate solution to take them out for the sake of doing less damage to the area, or to override a power. He's fought people with all kinds of power and he outsmarts them, hence why I give it to him.

I don't think Wolverine avoiding attacks would make him any better of a tactician simply because he'd be avoiding using his powers.

Wolverine doesn't need to avoid attacks, and the manner in which he accustoms himself to a new style of fighting based around his powerset demonstrates himself as a good tactician. Deadpool's very similar in that regard- Wolverine simply has more and greater feats due to being older and possessing greater history with tactical forces, which he has continuously demonstrated throughout his career.

For the sake of clarification, Wolverine is being discussed because the very description and criteria used to name Spider-Man in the OP can be argued to fit Logan better than Parker.

I don't think anybody's saying that he's necessarily better than Scott, Cap or the other top marvel tacticians, and I'd hate to give off the impression that that was my argument. I just think he's better than Parker, given the criteria mentioned.

He *has* to rely on his smarts because his foes rip him to pieces in a direct brawl more often than not. Wolverine can take the damage so although he has tactical smarts he doesn't have to rely on them as much.

Right and their is nothing wrong with using their powers. I looked at this as "using your brains to come on top" finding a strategy that is complex or is an exploitation takes more skill than wading through people.

Oh and of course I agree he has good tactics. So does Spider-Man, I wouldn't put them at the top either. Agree to disagree, it's cool.

Lizard would lose (preupgraded). Many he wouldn't really think of a weakness (like Sandman and Hydroman, someone Spider-Man or Wolverine could hurt by their own means alone).

I'm saying he doesn't need to rely on tactics. Wolverine doesn't fight every person and say "Hmmm.... what should I do to him". He does sometimes yes, I have just seen Spider-Man use weakness exploitations and the like more often in his character, and with more complexity).

Spider-Man brawls more against weaker foes, it isn't his primary strategy against stronger ones. Even in their crossovers when they teamed up Wolverine was shown to be more impulsive in his methods.

To each his own though, both have good tactics, we obviously won't agree completely and that's fine.Originally posted by Existere

Regardless of what state of power they are, both Cable, and Zemo have shown excellent battle tacticians. Capable of adapting to situations on the fly. One could also argue to be excellent strategist as well.

Zemo having played Gamemaster. Cable was one step ahead of the SHIELD, and the US government.

Wolverine stomped lizard through tactics, he did the same to puma while poisoned., also did the same thing to speed demon ect. He utilizes tactics vastly more then your giving him credit for.

And yet he does rely on them so the points mute. No does spiderman. YOu seen spiderman do it more becuase you read vastly more spiderman then wolverine. Not becuase he does it more or better in the least bit. Complexity does not equal better either. Being not really many, if anything spiderman came off that way. do you remember how they met? spiderman tends to be the one who flips out not wolverine in there encounter. Wolverine normally reacts to spiderman out lashes.


That just what he did against morlun, he done it against venom ect. He does not always do it but he does it way more often then your implying. Wolverine does the same thing. He use more tactics against more dangerous enemies, arguement goes both ways.

Yea to each his own. We won't end up agreeing I know that much.

Yea to each his own. We won't end up agreeing I know that much. How much have I given him credit for? I said they're both good.

Moot? I have read plenty of Spider-Man and X-Men/ Wolverine and the argument could be reflected your way. It could be said you read more Wolverine so you see it more often. I also haven't read nearly as much Spider-Man lately. I'm talking percentages, not even whole numbers.

Also I was talking about them teaming up, where they fought the same people and how they reacted. Spider-Man was the calm one of the two. Also complexity is more impressive, which is why Reed is a better thinker than Spider-Man, more complex.

I wouldn't say always, but he does it quite often, he's outsmarted many of his enemies, including the smart ones, who plan more than just direct attack. It's more part of his character IMO.

Of course we won't. We all know you hate black people. stick out tongue biscuits

Cable has commanded as much people as they have.

Reed Richards is also pretty good at tactics (and prep, obviously). Considering how he can come up with ingenious ways to use the F4's entire powerset/abilities to maximum efficiency during hectic battles, I'm surprised he's not a contender here, either.

By the same token, the Wizard, while inferior to Reed, is also pretty good at tactical thinking when it comes to the battlefield and his various Frightful Four teams.
