The feat iself: https://imgur.com/a/vEesj#0

Small context - in "Captain America" Vol. 1 (1968) #411 (1993) Cap is disguised as Crossbones and he runs the gauntlet by fighting against 5 opponents in a row. 1 round = 1 opponent. No rest and no gadgets/weapons/etc, only pure hand-to-hand combat.

1) Mad Dog (Robert "Buzz" Baxter, enemy of Hellcat/Patsy Walker).

2) Ramrod (cyborg, enemy of Daredevil, Black Widow and Spider-Man).

3) General Wo (460 pounds sumo wrestler, Vietnamese military general who can lift up a big statue, which weights around 1 ton).

4) Razor-Fist (Douglas Scott, enemy of Shang Chi).

5) Batroc The Leaper.

And bonus round (№6) - withstood an assault from the mob of villains (full list of villain during that event is here: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_America_Vol_1_411).

So, who could replicate this feat? There's 2 sections:

1. Street-levellers from Marvel Comics (except Captain America/Steven Rogers, of course).

2) Street-levellers from DC Comics.

I like the part where crossbones beating on batroc like the frenchman owes him child support

Lol. And how Cap (actually it was Cap in disguise) snapped his ankle.

It's Steve "cosplaying" as Brock

It's probably his best gauntlet-type feat to date, tbh.

So like Batman's then

And plenty other "peak humans" too.

Batman is an A-lister and he's often being compared to Cap in many ways.

So yes, he likely could replicate the feat.

Could other "peak humans" do it? No. Like T'Challa said, some are "more peak" ( laughcry ) than others.

Besides, some legit metas would get massacred there.

Thomas Wayne Batman could do it, I reckon, based on his one off feat Vs the Batfamily.

He's a Miraclo junkie, isn't he?

Has DC clarified his current status regarding that?

Agree. Steve was badass there.

Depends. I am sure Winter Soldier could replicate that feat. Black Widow? Probably. Daredevil? I think yes.

It's the "bonus round" that poses the greatest challenge.

Daredevil is an A-lister himself.

Bucky and BW have enhancements and gear.

Sixth rounds showns that Cap is using his shield, so I think sixth round is allowed to use gear/weapon.

Bucly has his bionic arm, but it can be downgraded to the normal arm mode. Such as it was when he was incarcerated in GULAG. And Bucky still defeated Ursa Major, who is stronger and more durable than Bucky (Bucky was exhhausted and weakened, also).

Sorry could not edit my post. Some words are there that should not be.

Blah blah blah, is what I got.

Come back when elite Olympians can shrug off herald busting attacks.

Such as Batman taking hits from bloodlusted Superman (without super-armour and etc) and doesn't getting smashed into a tomato paste.

Technically, arm had to be replaced while in Gulag. Not adjusted.

Hmmm. At least that's how I recall it, but... I can't find the page now that elaborated on it Help me out here. I remember Stark was involved?

--
Anyway, that was then and now is now.

He's gotten the Infinity Formula treatment since then. So he cannot be considered a bona fide normal human anymore.

Of course, Steve is hardly a normal one himself, having SSS running through his veins.

By street-level I consider enhanced and meta-streets too, like Black Widow or Bucky. They counts in that "running the gauntlet" too.

Stark? I don't remember where he could be. Bucky fought Ursa mano-a-mano. His arm was replaced? Maybe. But even his bionic arm has several modes, including normal arm mode.

Okay, then

The problem is with the definition of street tier; it's vague. Even Spider-Man can count as a street level superhero.

Tony doesn't appear in the story, but I remember Stark being mentioned on panel, him being the one responsible for replacing (or modifying) Bucky's arm off-panel, so he could still wear it as a prosthetic in prison. Could be wrong, but that's how I remembered it.

I have skimmed through that Gulag story arc yesterday, but I couldn't find the mention of it again Weird.

His armour - even in the earliest incarnations - were meant to function like chain mail, dissipating impact forces.

BS, yes, but writers had explanations for it. Comic book BS, unlike Batman who just.....does.

Because he is Batman, that's why.

PM me or post here if you remember the details or find the scan elaborating on Bucky's arm while imprisoned in Gulag.

-Stilt-Man
-Owl
-Crossbones
-Bullet
-Bullseye
-Rhino

comes to mind.

Kingpin helped him out a bit.

But yes, that's certainly one of the most memorable group fights, especially of recent years

Yeah true. Iirc Matt fights most of them a couple times that issue. Kingpin helps at one point but then Matt does it again solo.

Damn...

The Stilt-Man takedown is just a few pages prior but im lazy.

But Batman's feats are better. Which is why he's considered, and not the others.

His feats is just has more showings because Batman is very popular. And his feats overall in a completely different level itself.

I remember it. But how he defeated Rhino was just ridiculous. But it's Rhino, ya know. An utter jobber.

Still, it was awesome.

Thank you. Yeah, Bucky's arm is nerfed. Though it's still could be counted as a gear, plus Bucky can still block an incoming attacks with that arm.

I read the comics where Bucky was in gulag and forced to fight against Ursa Major, then Titanium Man (Boris Bullski, who was without armor, but had a bionic arms similar to Bucky), and later - Unicorn, who has implanted his blaster from a head gear right into his forehead, which looked like it's was a "3rd eye". Lol.

Isn't exactly a gauntlet, but still, very decent feats. Especially how weakened and abused by guards and cellmates Bucky defeated Ursa and later defeated Titanium Man (although with some assistance when prisoners dropped some melee weapons to them, but still, Bucky take a lot of punishment from Titanium Man and lasted long enough to get the upperhand and beat him). And later Bucky used Unicorn's lasers to destroy the surroundings and escape from gulag.

Holy crap, the street level BS never ends. How the phuck does a 'peak human' being beat a guy that's CL5-10 and durable enough to shrug off small arms fire and have a respectable (not Wolverine level obviously) healing factor? Mad Dog should have ended him in the first few seconds.

JBL was right. The hero always wins no matter the powerset.

Daredevil defeated Mr. Hyde. Thor beat a Celestial, the Fantastic Four defeated Galactus, Captain America beat the Hulk, etc.

You're really having trouble with accepting that Cap handle a z-list Hellcat villain, bro?

Lol, indeed. Mad Dog is an obscured villain who was killed by a freakin' HunterBot. Not even by Kraven The Hunter himself.

Mr. Hyde started as a Thor's villain, but later he was constantly punked by Cap, Daredevil and Spider-Man.
