Pure skill wise, he's borderline even with Shang Chi.


Proven by a stalemate fight way back in the 80's, and the fact he traded wins with The Cat, who has three draws with Shang Chi.

Logan took lessons from Shang, who's about even with Danny. At least going by their direct fight, and indirect showings against common enemies.


Elektra is a maybe. Yeah, he used a hodouken, but he was still pretty even with her up to that point. And Matt never had a real advantage over him in all their fights, except that one time Danny was mimmicking his skills and thus holding himself to a handicap. Even then it was close.

Do you think she'd take Shang Chi?

Personally, I'd say Few ppl in Marvel..Gamora,Mantis,Cap,Maybe BP,Shang Chi,Maybe Stick and Ogun...Possibly Wolverine,Gorgon,Mr X and X23 if we Talking just Pure Skills,No Added Amps/Powers...In DC Cass,Lady Shiva,Maybe Batman and Dragon

Also, Wolverine was trained by great many people in many ways.

That's why he's one of the most skilled martial artists in Marvel, for your information. Far surpassing Danny Rand, who is an amateur.

Not to mention that we know how Danny is jealous of Shang-Chi's skill:

He was getting ****ed up and admitted it to Matt.

He wouldn't have resorted to that cheap blast, if he hadn't been getting his ass handed to him.

You shouldn't say can, because anything can happen and fighters get lucky. You should ask who is more likely to beat him or who would win a majority of matches against him.

I consider Matt, Elektra, Shang, and Danny pretty close in h2h. Just depending on the writer or the story to determine the winner.

I still can't get over the fact he just happened to have a gadget on him that cleans chi.


I mean, I love Priest on anything Iron Fist or Black Panther, but that was a "Bat Shark Repellant" moment.

Anyways, there's no taking The Cat from him.


Three match's with Shang, and three stalemates, proves he's on Shangs level.

Matt Murdock.

No, Whirly.

He appeared in Uncanny X-Men long after his "adventures" with Danny, Cage, Parker and Felicia.

Only then Claremont decided to make him a Wolverine villain... and to give him an actual powerset rivaling that of Logan.

Like The Beast?


Shadowland did it, he beat Ghost Rider. And then Danny exercised him with his Chi.


Impossible to know how a straight fight would go, because Iron Fist wasn't using his Chi to hurt him. However, we DO know he can harm otherworldly demons capable of reaping souls from New York, or capable of destroying the world.

Sin I AM
Speaking of Shadowland didn't Moon Knight stalemate DD during that event?

There was something, yes.

Moon Knight was in his civies, iirc.


Shadowland DD was hiding his true power, though. He went all out later in the event.

Yeah, Danny only did good early. Matt later stomped Danny along with Peter, Frank etc

Not sure.

Wouldn't surprise me though. The Beast kept getting stronger, until Matt couldn't shake it off without a little positive chi injection.

Ten years, Whirly.

It took ten years for Creed to get actual super-powers.

Against Danny and Parker, he had no healing factor, which is his main power.

Sorry bro, but you're wrong here. Big time.

Maybe not Gamora but the others? A case could definitely be made.

StiltmanFTW
Gamora is not a pure MA, anyway.

She has Wolverine-like powerset and Iron Man level strength.

And even factoring that, she's still overrated af.

Dareangel
Wolverine. his healing factor and claws can do the job. as for martial art skills alone, he is one of the best. many times people see wolverine getting bested at the pure skills department, but as was explained already, wolverine relies too much on his healing factor and therefor doesnt really care to get hit, stabbed, shot act act. however, at times when he lost his healing factor, you can see how much ass he kicks when he taps into his skills alone.

Logans power set disqualifies him.


In skills alone he can keep up with Cap or Danny, but that isn't the same as "beating" them. He has absolutely no feats of besting a top tier MA with pure skills, without his claws or HF supporting him.


While Iron Fist DOES have feats of using pure skills to defeat the likes of Steel Serpent, or a Game of Death like tournament.

so you asume basically that this is a thread of who is a league above iron fist, rather than who simply can beat him. because if you ask who can beat him, anyone from the top tier can win some or lose some to him. but to put someone a league above him, nobody, because he is at the very top with other top fighters. IMO of course.
as for logan fighting feats and beating tough opponents with pure skills, did you read wolverine manifest destiny? its a nice read to see his skills. of course you already know about his feats such as besting shang chi, besting omega red and lady shiva at the same time without his claws, just h2h combat, i dont recall all his fights, kinda rusty with wolverine, i remember he has wins over daredevil and blade but i dont recall if it was with or without claws. but read manifest destiny its a good one.

I'm saying I'd need proof Logan can beat a top tier without the claws or healing factor.

Far as I know, he's always had claws in some form, and the times he lost his HF, never featured him showing off his skills in a martial arts tournament.

Come on now, Wolverine even mentions his enhancements being something Shang didn't count on. sad


He still had his HF against Danny and Cap too. He can't swith it off like Danny can reduce his ki output.

In fact, Cap being unable to heal a blood clot like Logan can heal his injury was a specifically stated plot point.

Danny's entire being is infused with mystical chi and Dragon chi, lol.

Wolverine's injury only prevented him from using his claws, meanwhile the blood cot put Cap down for the count. Even though SSS does give him some accelerated healing.

DarkSaint85
But that's OTHER people not having it. That's a different point.

A clawless, HFless Wolverine gave him a hematoma using his skills and this defeated Cap, a master MA.

Didn't he use his claws to give him the hemotoma?



Yeah, it took skill to do it without Cap noticing, but it's not like he used his bare hands to do it.


I suppose he could have done as well with a knife, maybe.
