Someone off site said WPs one good showing (against Juggernaut)was 25 years ago, and so didnt mean much.
Is there like a statute of limitations on good showings?
Drax gets a solid vote from me 7-8/10. In the form that's being used in the OP, he's the closest thing to Wolverine that you'd get in Marvel. He slaughtered his way through hoards of Annihilus' soldier drones, and if people aren't impressed with that, those guys eradicated the entire Nova corps. Of course the armada that attacked the Nova Corps were vastly larger in number than the amount that Drax tore through, but when it came to a one on one confrontation, the soldier drones appeared to be more than a match for the Corps members that they literally ate.
Drax took out hoards alone. Warpath doesn't have that kind of track record, and as I mentioned before, only Wolverine has done anything similar by wading though hoards of Brood warriors. Warpath is good, but IMO his accumulative feats place him at a lower rung than Drax.
There's no statute of limitations per se, but some characters are clearly handled differently than their past incarnations. Past showings can be canon and still irrelevant for a battleboard.
Lots of people get unofficial downgrades/upgrades. New writers and creative directions and all that.
