SM vs. an X-Man threads are all over the place...so I figured combining them into this might be fun.
Rules:
1. No prep time
2. Location: Danger Room. Simulation of a 100 meter x 100 meter city clock...no huge buildings (so its not like Spideys in NYC) but regular-sized buildings, cars, etc.
3. Combatants start on opposite sides of a building...so they are not in direct sight of eachother.
4. Spider-Man is refreshed and back to 100% after each battle.
5. For the purposes of this thread, Nightcrawler cannot teleport limbs off. If you have a problem with that, tough noogies!
6. All heroes are the most current versions, or most recent versions (because in some they're dead by now).
The first few will be obviously easy fights for SM...and the last few will be impossible for him (just to have both extremes).
You can explain yourself on important battles but try not to get stuck on any one hero...I don't want this turning into just another SM vs. Cyclops/Storm/etc. thread. So in general, how far you think he'd get and some brief explanations. If you think either one has a chance to win, pick which one you think would most likely win a best of 5 fight.
Here's the lineup...mostly classic X-men...no one too new.
1. Jubilee
2. Beast
3. Nightcrawler
4. Angel
5. Gambit
6. Cyclops
7. Dazzler
8. Wolverine
9. Iceman
10. Storm
11. Rogue
12. Colossus
13. Jean
14. Xavier
I have him getting past Wolverine and stopping against Iceman. Anyone care to differ?
Here's my rationale...Cyclops is the first to give him trouble. If you want a full explanation, refer to the recent Cyke v. SM thread where I've been vigorously defending SM.
He's oodles stronger than Wolvie. And for the Wolvie fanboys, dispel the myth that his healing power is instantaneous...it isn't. In a fight it would help, but he takes time to recover from wounds. SM could probably stab Wolvie to death with his own claws...and even if that was out of the question, Logan coudln't catch him and wouldn't do a whole lot of harm to him. There's a lot of damage SM could do to Wolvie that wouldn't involve his skeleton, since his skin is no more durable than normal. Anway, there's my reasoning there.
I think he'd have a shot at Iceman...and a slimmer but still present shot at Storm, but I wouldn't bank on it.
The last four were for show...I love Spidey, so if anyone can convince me he'd take Rogue, then Woot! to you...but I don't see it.
