Okay, you knew it was going to happen. Anyone want to venture who the 10 best martial artists in the CU are?
This one is less subjective because we have things such as "Point totals, rules of X, Caps on attacks/defense etc." That being said I only want 5th ed CU Martial artists that have been statted out and the obvious choice in in hotsleep in Australia. So who's next?

I never bothered really looking at it that way, but I liked Nightwind from MC.

well i know you ruled out 4th ed but I've got a funny feeling that "the man with eye patch" might be on that list

Criteria? Does anybody with a Martial Arts package count? Are they allowed to "cheat" with things like Superhuman Attributes or gadgets?
Merely because "It's my opinion" does not exempt the underlying reasoning from examination.

Criterea is that they have to be considered a Martial Artist. Nightwind has a MP for his abilities, not really a Martial arts package. I'd like to keep Characteristics to "Legendary" status. Gadget users are fine.
Shugoshin qualifies, as does Nighthawk, Shadowdragon is in there but he's not all that great. Green Dragon? Sure.

Hey it's a comic book universe isn't it ? Ol "Taipan" is sure to escape some time and need to be recaptured !

Besides the man with the eye patch and Nightwind, wouldn't Harbinger of Justice and Andres Panthanatos be in the top 10 as well?

How about Fiacho? Or Utility? They both seem like competant fighters. I for one WOULD include Nightwind. Though he does have some exceptional "chi" powers...most of his character is standard martial artist and his stats reflect that.

i would have to yes to Fiacho and no to Utility perhaps the rules for the tournament of the dragon should apply to the criteria?

Well, if we include Galactic Champions, I would include Bulletproof and Charm.
I would also add Scorpia and Cateran to that list. Scorpia worked really well as a Dark Champions crossover character for a solo campaign I ran for a friend.

In Watchers of the Dragon (4e), Lin Hu (Jade Tiger) was pretty damn impressive.

Oh yeah... easily the top "pure" martial artist in the book and the setting.

And would probably clean the clock of any of the martial artists written for 5E so far, except perhaps Taipan. In fact the definition of Lin Hu was that he was acknowledged the greatest martial artist in the world.
