No one's arguing that he's got a helping handful of skills.
What's being argued by me is that Deadpool should never lose in a sword fight against MK....
Hell I honestly don't believe that Wolverine should win a sword fight against DP, and his sword feats are heads and shoulders above MK and far more consistent.
The armor would HAVE to have played the deciding factor in that fight...
As far as this whole CIS issue is concerned, I think it's pretty clear that DP was playing around.. A LOT.
There's way too many insinuations in that writing to simply dismiss the notion that MK was unloading on Wade. The start of the fight has him questioning how long he can "hold back", and it looks like a lighbulb goes off as soon as DP tells him he can't be killed.
If that tells anyone anything it's that he was itching to blow off some steam and didn't have to restrict or restrain himself.. like... at all.
As Sam already said, anyone who's read more than 2 issues of DP would be able to figure out that Wade wasn't performing anywhere near his best or even trying to approach it for that matter.
If you want to use the example to show some of MK's armor in action, and insinuate he has sword skill as well as a sword which seeming came out of no where, then that's fine.
Otherwise though, DP was handled horribly in that particular fight if you want to use it as evidence of anything pretaining to DP. It's an out and out lowball and easily ignored in contrast to his entire career.
Now again... if MK is so suped up.. how does Sabretooth win?

Nope MK is a long away from Punisher (there are some similarities) thats why Daredevil actually wanted MK to team up with him to hunt the Punisher. They team up from time to time that don't mean hes viewed like the Punisher.
In their last fight DP didn't nearly kill Punisher and he was using blunt force trauma so he could let rip more. DP doesn't kill good guys anymore, and he didn't want to kill Punisher either.
I dunno this is related to the topic of the thread.

moon knight was viewed as a maniac by the public when he first came back and spiderman went off on him too because of the way he mutilated his enemies.
remember when DP pulled him out and they fell a couple of stories, that could've possibly killed punisher
DP can get carried away (especially after getting electrocuted) but he'd never on purpose kill good guys. Even when he was an ordinary merc he'd only take hits if he believed the target deserved to die. Sure his understanding of good is pretty twisted but despite their track record, MK and Frank are the good guys to him. Besides he just met MK when he was trying to save the guy Wade was hired to kill. A thing only a hero would do.

Ok wasn't aware of that but still theres a reason why Steve wanted MK on the Secret Avengers and not Punisher, MK by and large for his whole career isn't as bad as Punisher.
Unlikely. I'm talking about there last fight anwyay. DP doesn't kill good guys anymore, he did back then.
Of course it is.
I don't think he deserved to die, but that guy was a basterd. Thats why DP is an anti-hero.
I think the problem is that because part of his argument is faulty you are then generalising and acting like his whole argument is faulty. Stating that he was holding back because he wasn't using certain weapons is faulty etc but not the rest of his argument.
You're kinda dodging the point we don't need any on panel evidence because its already been established in other issues that he doesn't kill good guys.
No it isn't though. The point is that MK realised that DP had a HF so he could use lethal force and didn't need to hold back. DP can't use lethal force and on top of that he's fighting a skilled opponent with armour. Him stopping is irrelevant because he was already using lethal force. MK stopping just indcates he didn't want to prolong DP's agony, MK had already won why carry on chopping him up?

Steve was kinda pulling a thuderbolt thing to a lesser extent, letting certain heroes redeem themselves, and word had probably gotten out that Moon Knight was rehabilitated to an extent. Steve allowed ant-man on his team too.
He might not kill good guys that doesn't mean he won't go off on them, case in point his fight with Steve Rogers
Thats all you need to say really. Remember MK was also an Avenger once.
It's harder to let off when you're using a sword, you have to be more careful. Its even harder to do that when the guy is wearing armour and hes willing to use lethal force and you're not.

wasn't he kicked off the Avengers for being crazy though?
Deadpool was using a sword against Steve Rogers, also we can't really tell if DP was using lethal force seeing as even if he was it wouldn't have done damage.
