Who is the best martial artist in Marvel and DC?

On earth or the universe?

Karate Kid.
Iron Fist.

Is Iron Fist better at pure martial arts or are some of his abilities mystical? In other words it could be argued that Dr Strange is actually the best martial artist if we are going to include mystical abilities, however this could overlap and there may not be a clear distinction.

Gamora

Is he the best though?

He's above Shang, depends what you mean by pure MA... Champion beats him in a h2h fight.

He is? Huh you saying Champion fought him?

Not to the best of my knowledge, but Champion is beating effectively anyone if all other powers are turned off.

Erm ok, why is he better than Shang?

He can shatter Shang and the planet he resides on..

Do you mean Danny vs Shang? Danny is noticeably faster and strikes harder.

not in any order

Iron Fist
Batman
Shang Chi

DC-karate Kid
Marvel-Shang Chi

Everywhere else in the comicsverse, The Badger.

So it is written, so let it be done.

Straight h2h, powers off...

Probably a toss up between Karate Kid and Mantis.

Val Armor or Jin Si. Jin is a very obscure character. She is the personification of Martial Arts, who easily owned Batman.

I wish Karate Kid would come back to the present and get series, like in the 70s. Of at least a mini.

Seeing him meet folks like Shiva and Richard Dragon'd be sweet.

DC- Karate Kid. If you don't count future stuff, Cassandra Cain.

Marvel- I'd say Mantis.

Though if you only count those without powers- and I'm counting chi abilities as powers here- maybe Shang Chi.

Most of Marvel's big martial artists are powered to some extent. Danny, Daredevil, etc..

Batman
Karate Kid

Wolverine
Captain America

Since the beginning of time he's dedicated the whole time to martial arts training.

If you were talking about Champion that is.

Did you vote no or yes?

Wolverine?!?

Wolverine's got Alzheimer's when it comes to martial arts.

Ah forgive me.

I have been living in England for a while. But I was in the No camp. Scotland has got more powers either way. A lot fo people have forgot about that.

Shouldn't Thanos be above her since he trained her?

Ok, nice one I guess.

Yes. When he's at his best, he's very good, but there's been multiple stories where he's grown too used to his regen and needs to go back for training to get back in the groove.


Also, Squirrel Girl's better.

Gamora's the most dangerous blah blah, not necessarily the best or most dangerous martial artist. Thats a misconception. And Thanos being a high level martial artist sure as HELL is.

I was thinking of someone whose primary/most often used power is martial arts and physical combat. Thanos might know martial arts but he doesn't use them all that often and isn't primarily known for them rather than his other powers, and they aren't his first resort in a fight. Same reason I don't count Doctor Strange.

Then Karate Kid and Shang Chi ate your best choices.

Good thread, got me working in a new sig.
