tough but I have to give it to team 1. Lord Rand can KO just about anyone on team 2 if he lands a clean shot and there are more metas team 1 than 2 who are a lot more useful. Also wolverine and Spidey are the only ones who can contend with Cage on a purely physical level in terms of being able to put him down. Unless Clint uses gas but then he has a chance of ko'ing his team mates.
Team 2 clearly has the better leader and more skill, I would say BP has no problem taking down Cage. Spiderman takes down Daredevil, Cap takes down Gambit, Wolverine deals with blade, and hawkeye keeps iron fist at a distance with the arrows. So team 2 takes this.
I dunno about a BP Luke Cage matchup I don't see it ending in his favor. Unlike Surfer Luke Cage isn't about to be stopped by an armbar... Also DD ninja skills would put him over wolverine IMO and I doubt that IF would try to engage Hawkeye anyways who'd probably have his attention on gambit. Unless this is Bendis Hawkeye in which case this is a horrific stomp and I must abase myself before Lord Rand and beg for forgiveness for being forced to concede he would be defeated.
Not sure why you think the Cosmic Armbar wouldn't work on Cage. And it's not his only trick anyway. Cage would get killed by his Wakandan Punch that he used on Mephisto.
Wolverine has ninja skills, too. What makes you think Matt's are better...? The fact that Logan was handing him his ass while mind-controlled? Or maybe that he got Murdock in full nelson hold?
Someone should make Bendispower Clint vs. Lord Rand thread.
Blades not to shabby with his guns either. I think he could surpress Winter soldier long enough to get in close. Also I give gambit a nod over hawkeye purely because I think he could dodge most of Hawkeye's shots and he's not as limited on the ammunition. Unless Hawkeye is banking pym shrunk arrows.
