ha, no. Snake eyes is easily a bullet timer and almost every version of him is resistant to mind control. The guy's easily blitzed entire companies of Cobra soldiers, killed cyborgs, sensed enemies that nobody else (including jinx and stormshadow) could see, and his pain tolerance is within the punisher/joker tier. This is a good fight no matter what you might think.

yeah, snake has some absolutely crazy feats. i don't know that much about the shadow, but what little i DO know means i'd need to see some really good shadow stuff to convince me he can win this thing.
I could have missed a few feats, but apart from his showing against Grendel, Dynamite Shadow really isn't that impressive, IIRC. Especially if you want to claim that he wins "without breaking a sweat".
Shadow's h2h skills are very impressive, actually -- he's got TONS of feats/accolades under his belt... Maybe I should make a respect thread for him one of these days..?
Anyhow, Snake Eyes wins... It'd be an epic battle, though.
...Yet The Shadow beat him rather decisively -- and beat him in a book written by the creator of Grendel, no less(which is ALWAYS more impressive, tbh.)
At any rate, I would still put Snake Eyes *marginally* above The Shadow. IOW, Snake Eyes would win(as leo mentioned, some of his feats are just asinine), but Lamont would give him a great fight every single time... In fact, I personally view the difference between Snake Eyes and Lamont, being akin to the difference between Lamont and Grendel. /shrug

nice. you and i are about the only grendel fans i know round here and that is a good showing. like i said, didn't know much about shadow but he is tougher than i thought. i just knew snake was a beast.
btw was that a xover book or something?

Back in 1986 I ran across the St. Patrick's Day parade and was almost caught by police because it was blocking my way to a comic shop in midtown Manhattan that was holding a copy of the first Christine Spar Comico issue for me.

grendel is great. that scene against the shadow is pretty impressive but it seems a little like one of the underestimation cases. be interesting to see a rematch, if there was one.
there was a rematch later in the Grendel vs Shadow arc. Grendel did much better and was actually looking quite impressive considering that he was fighting the shadow and ate a few bullets from some other gangsters.
Like I said, the dude is definitely legit. He tends to be massively underrated, though -- mostly written off as some pulpy/feeble, Golden Age character or whathaveyou. Obviously not the case.
