he can be a bit of an arsehole though.

I'm so confused, I thought he was an alien... with wings. Now I find out he just has magic metal? Wuh?

cyberwolf77 · 06-07-2010 10:10pm

Yeah, multiple characters same name.

Hawkman takes flight carelessly to which Angel takes issue with. While Angel is insulting his ally's lack of tactical know how, Hawkman is wide open prey for Moon Knight to put multiple darts through him. It's just Angel against Moon Knight and Amadeus Cho now.

Amadeus Cho has a safe distance from the battle. He preps Moon Knight by phone on how to anticipate Angel's moves, but in his supreme arrogance doesn't realise that Angel has the beat on him. Cho slumps to the ground with his throat ripped out.

That leaves Angel and Moon Knight.

Moon Knight feels he can still beat Angel. However MK suffers a prophetic vision and he sees that Angel is the one true champion that will stare down the apocalypse. Thus MK retreats into the shadows of the night, fully accepting that it is not his place to take the life of earth's one true hope of salvation.

Angel-Hawk FTW

I may not like the logic here, but I can respect it.

Ghost Rider will only harm the guilty... and Zauriel still has his angelic abilities.

I'm quite looking forward to the Cassidy battle, he's one character I know like the back of my hand. He probably won't win, but it'll be fun

he got a solid partner, so it may happen.

He can tap into the morphogenic field and borrow abilities from any animal living or dead. he came home from deep space by borrowing the abilities of a Sun-Eater.Just noticed he can also fire force blasts by tapping into the Red.

His newest incarnation is pretty damn powerful too, and comes with some hefty superhuman powers. The old classic Punisher look and character was killed off during the Dark Avengers storyline in 2009
with Daken cutting off Frank's head, arms etc and then the League Of Monsters patched him back together and powered him up as a Frankenstein's monster type character.
He is now strong enough to scrap hand to hand with the bigger hitters in the Marvel universe whilst keeping his skill with weapons and the like.

If we go with current incarnations, I cannot see anything other than a FrankenCastle- Gorilla man win.

Taskmaster will watch Green Arrow and become as good a shot as him, and both will pepper FrankenCastle with arrows. Castle will blast back with heavier firepower to force the two boys to take cover.Gorilla man uses this to get in close and engages the boys in a bit of hand to hand combat. He fights well be is outmatched, especially by taskmaster, until he gets mad and fights in a more frenetic manner, throwing off Taskie's ability to copy and predict a style. This alloows GM to last a bit longer against the pairing, but he still ends up gettting a right good kicking from GA and TM.

But the time they spent fighting GM has allowed FrankenCastle to get up close and personal. Now GA and TM are in a close quarters fight with a totally different powerlevel. FC takes out TM before he can latch onto Castle's newer fighting style, he crushes TM's skull.

GA is now one on one with FC. He goes for it with his vast knowledge of fighting styles and martial arts, but he is still only a human in terms of strength and speed, while Frank is now at a different level altogether.

As Green Arrow's blood start to drip down the walls, FC heads back to the streets to do what he has always done best.

Punish.

Franken-Gorilla for the win.

The current Punisher since 2009 for those who have not seen him.

What a post.

Sadly no, I can't count it.:(:( Still it was kinda awesome, except for the fact that Tasky had already duplicated Hawkeye's archery skills meaning he would be close to GA anyway

As lame as it might sound, whenever I scroll down to/past the Heart's Desire tournament thread, I read 'Desire' as 'Desiree*', the woman who sang the love theme from Romeo & Juliet reinterpretation by Baz Luhrman.

Good tournament so far.

the storyline stipulates Widow is on the hunt for Bane.

I'm seeing adamantium bullets from a couple hundred yards making this a simple and effective win for the widow.

Selene is off acting llike the stereotypical younger vampire "OOOH were all soft and decadent and set in our ways". Then for no reason she jumps off a gargoyle on the top of a building and lands dramatically in a long coat.

This just made laugh

Castle may be good at counter-intelligence, but he's not psychic. GA uses his massive wealth and gadgetry to track Castle down, without alerting him. Of course Castle is always ready for something.

GA has Castle located in a warehouse in a largely abandoned dockland district. Electronic surveillance suggests the presence of G-man, so GA asks Taskmaster if he's up to that task. Taskmaster looks forward to the challenge.

GA uses an explosive incendiary arrow to bring the warehouse down. Castle disappears through an underground escape route, but G-Man bursts out of the flaming building, ready for a fight.

Taskmaster appears from the shadows, waiting for G-Man. Taskmaster doesn't need to learn G-Man's moves to begin survive, he already has 100s of amazing martial art skills at hand. He uses skill rather than strength to prevent Gorilla Man from ripping him apart, using Gorilla Man's own strength against him. Soon he has analyzed GM's fighting style and can predict his swings. Taskmaster is now ready to land a killer blow. He ducks and weaves under GM's predicted moves, gets in just close enough to deliver lightning fast blows to pressure points and leaves GM a quivering mass of freaking out nerve endings. With a carefully calculated move, TM crushes GM's windpipe with an accurate kick, leaving GM spasming on the ground and slowly suffocating.

Castle followed his planned escape route, but after none of his booby traps getting sprung, he back tracks a distance and realises he's not being pursued. He then emerges at a mid point, a short distance away from his base. He moves through the shadows and witnesses the end of GM's life. He recognises Taskmaster from one of his dossiers, and though he doesn't remember every detail, he knows what he can do up close. He takes a rifle from his back, aims carefully and with TM against a flaming background, he blows out his knee cap with a hollow point.

Knowing that Taskmaster is now immobilized and less of a threat, Castle moves in closer for some hard won information. "This is going to hurt" Castle says with a smile. Castle is closing in on Taskmaster. He's standing in the clearing, flaming warehouse in the background, gun pointing at Taskmaster as TM tries to drag himself to safety. Gun pointed at TM, Castle blows out the other knee cap, and points the gun at TM's shoulder "tell me who sent you! This won't end fast."

Castle goes to pull the Trigger and blow a hole in TM's shoulder, but before he can a arrow bursts through his chest. Castle looks down, gurgles and dies. GA puts TM over his shoulder and carries him to a waiting transport to a private medical facility.

Fffft the bloody Black Knight :rolleyes:

Well may as well work with what we have. The Black Knight taken as his early version without any enhancements along with Bane against Selene and the Black Widow whom I assume is allowed all her current enhancements.

The Black Knight in his earlier version was regarded as being able to match Captain America and Wolverine in terms of fighting skills so that puts him on a level above the Black Widow in terms of fighting skills.

Selene is quick, powerful, durable, and deadly.

Bane is hyper intelligent, tactically one of the best on the planet, one of the most skilled fighters on the planet, coupled with being fast and strong, and that is before he even uses venom to massively increase his strength, healing and endurance to superhuman levels.

I just cannot see past the Bane factor in this one, despite the two hotties. He is on a level of intelligence and tactical astuteness that may be above that of even Batman, so I can see neither woman coming close to him on that score. He will figure out Selene's strengths and her weaknesses, and in the Black Knight he has a partner that can at least hold the Black Widow to a stalemate for a period of time to allow him to get on with his own plans.

Even the fact he has the venom tubes on him is not a weakness as he only uses venom as a last resort when he needs superhuman strength or healing, without venom he is still just as deadly, maybe even moreso as he uses his mind more.

I see no advantage to Selene with the battle taking place in Romania as she was not from Romania as a child, nor did she live there after Victor turned her and took her in.

One big factor has to be the stipulation that it is the Black Knight before his sersi link or Pendragon mode. That means he is still in cursed mode and anybody who touches him will have their blood drawn out of them and into the blade, almost making him the vampire of the piece.

Nope gonna stick with my original thoughts on who would win.

Bane-Knight.

I'm wondering if you two know each other
