Vestnik Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: Batman vs Midnighter So, who would win in a fight, Midnighter or Streaky the Super-Cat? I think Streaky would totally own Midnighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigil Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: Batman vs Midnighter Streaky, absolutely. All the combat implants in the world (and I assume Midnighter has all the combat implants in the world since no one else seems to have any of them) are no match for the wrath of a small, marmalade-colored, tabby who just happens to have Kryptonian-level powers. Maybe Midnighter could calculate all the ways Streaky could scratch his eyes out before he reacts or something similarly lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could reduce Midnighter to a red mist before Midnighter's computer recognized that Streaky was there. I might buy that issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrestlinggeek Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: Batman vs Midnighter You know what I would love to see? Midnighter comes up against a foe he absolutely can not beat. No matter how many times he runs the battle in his combat computer, it shows him getting killed. No matter what he tries. He simply can't win. How does he cope with this? A true hero would stand his ground and do every thing he possibly could to stop (or at least delay) the bad guy. I see the Midnighter running away screaming. Possibly with tears flowing down his face and a brown stain forming on the back of his pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoresLost Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: Batman vs Midnighter Note, I believe in the comic Captain Atom: Armageddon vol. 6, a 'Void' possessed Captain Atom fried both Midnighter and Apollo in two frames (and Jenny Sparks as well). After defeating rest of the Authority, Majestic, and the Wild Cats in previous comics, just as the Good Captain. This lead to an appearent reboot of the that Universe...

Midnighter is walking down a dark alley, Batman is watching from above and triggers a small device on his Utility Belt. Batman jumps down and lands near the Midnighter, and proceeds to beat the crap out of him. Since this is no doubt some sort of JLA/Authority crossover, Superman shows up and asks "How did you beat him? I thought he had a battle computer that could calculate every possible outcome?" Batman points to his belt and says: "He does. And this sent out a signal that convinced it that he was going to lose." KA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier I think to send a signal to the computer that prevented it from saying anything. From what I've heard about the Midnighter he relies on that battle computer so much he'd probably freak right out if it stopped working on him.

Haerandir Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: Batman vs Midnighter I concede that Streaky could probably take the Midnighter, if he could be convinced to bother. He is a cat, after all. Cats are notoriously lazy. Also contrary. The mere knowledge that some people want him to beat up the Midnighter will probably be enough to convince him to sit in a corner washing his face, instead.

[/quote'] Sounds like a job for Karate Kid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karate_Kid_(comics) ). This has been suggested in a similar thread in the past, of course. Midnighter couldn't even win if the fight started with KK at the bottom of a river encased in concrete, with anchors tied to his feet.

Funksaw Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Batman vs Midnighter The analysis about how Batman would get beat in the first instance, but with time to prepare, would take out Midnighter with a virus is correct, except that Midnighter has no compunctions about killing.

And you will note that it ended with Nathaniel disintigrating Apollo and the Midnighter. So as we have seen there are some opponents that the Midnighter just isn't powerful enough to overcome, battle computer or not. Batman, however, isn't one of them... IMO of course.

Lemurion Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Batman vs Midnighter Getting back to the original idea: I think we are mostly agreed that Midnighter would win an initial combat and that Batman would take him on the rematch (or in any other situation where he had time to prepare and presuming he survives the first round). The question then comes in as to whether Batman could break off the fight before Midnighter killed him. My own thought is that if there is enough cover nearby he probably could, but if they were fighting in the middle of the street it may be impossible. I don't see Midnighter doing one of his one-punch kills though. Not against Batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenrisUlf Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Batman vs Midnighter Just wondering: if Bats were to try and run from Midnighter, what if MD tried killing or maiming a few civilians to make him stand and fight? The way I understand it, the Midnighter and his pals don't have any real problem with killing "innocents", esp. if they happen to be Americans.

freakboy6117 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Batman vs Midnighter teh authority dont hurt civilians tehy may be iron age but there still heroes. that's basically the difference between them and the villains in wild storm villains don't care who they kill heroes only kill people who they think deserve it. The only civilians I.E. not supers or soldiers, the authority have killed are a business man and a spook who basically brainwashed and repeatedly raped the female members of the team oh and a couple of US presidents. midnighter might threaten that but he wouldn't go through with it on the other hand if he could kill or maim joker or penguin and that would probably keep bats in the fight without midnighter breaking his own ethical guides.
