Enforcer84 Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Companion to my DC Balloting. Same thing, Rank them 1-10 and ties are acceptable. Please keep out "Super Martial artists" (Thor, Silver Surfer, Taskmaster, etc.) I'll allow passive powers and I'm on the fence for Wolverine but will allow him anyway. No Spiderman. Got it? Good. 1. Shang Chi 2. Captain America, The Cat, Mantis*, Black Panther 3. Iron Fist, Daredevil, Elektra, White Tiger* 4. Black Widow, Nightthrasher, Moon Knight, Silver Samurai 5. Batroc, Zaran, Kazar, The Sons of the Tiger, Silver Sable 6. Mockingbird, The Falcon 7. Nick Fury, The Red Skull 8. Kingpin 9. Red Guardian (Steel Guardian?) 10. Puck, Punisher *These might easily fall under "Superpowered" but I still think qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists Man I know this one's tougher for me. I know more Marvel martial artists! And I think I am shorting some villains. Also, another rule. They should currently be a) alive and in this era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austenandrews Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists I don't have strong enough opinions to make my own list. However I would swap Iron Fist and Black Panther. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent X Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists That's cool. Give me your top ten. Unfortunately, my top ten wouldn't fit your criteria.

Enforcer84 Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists Ahh. Throw them out. I don't mind. If they don't fit my criteria I'll ignore them but the others would get points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trained Chicken Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists Gotta move Punisher up to the third tier. He doesn't get beat in hand-to-hand. I think everyone else is about right. Add Crossbones to the second tier. He always gives Cap a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddHat Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists 1. Woverine (Cause he's the best at what he does)*, Joss Whedon Chix 2. Storm*, Shadowcat*, Hot Chix that are almost naked. 3. Elektra*, Hot Chix with Eye Patches or lots of weapons or spiky bits 4. Shang Chi (loses points for not being as cool), almost any Chinese character 5. Captain America 6. Daredevil*, Iron Fist*, Task Master 7. Black Widow*, Moon Night 8. Puck*, tough snarley guys in spandex 9. The Punisher, Kingpin*, Nick Fury, tough snarley guys with guns 10. Goons *May be randomly dead, or just got back from being dead, or maybe they have powers this week unless they've lost them. These days, who knows?

Gary Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists I think Shang-Chi, Captain America, Black Panther, Mandarin without rings, or Moondragon would be an 'Any given Sunday' type of matchup.

Gary Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists Do the martial artists get their equipment, or is it a straight unarmed contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddHat Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists So who wins between Joss Whedon Chix and Chris Claremont Chix? Whedon Chix. Claremont Chix look better, but he likes to see them beat down, captured and tormented. Whedon lives for the young girl power shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists I am assuming you have all looked at the DC thread if not. Here's how it works. It's a popularity contest actually; every character gets 10pts for a #1 rank, 9 for a #2, and so on. I have placed everyone who made a ballot (with the exception of oddhat's for now) on an excel sheet and I throw in their ranks. Right now. the top ranks for marvel (and it's way early) look like this: Shang Chi Captain America Black Panther Iron Fist Moondragon Mandarin The Cat Mantis The Punisher Like it? Great! Don't? Well then give me your top ten and we'll see how you do. And please, no fighting over it. This is an opinion poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists Do the martial artists get their equipment' date=' or is it a straight unarmed contest?[/quote'] I'm thinking straight hand to hand, no use of active superpowers (Moondragon) no neato gadgets (everyone else but Shang Chi, Mantis, and the Cat).

OddHat Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists The Ultimate Marvel Martial Artist is a naked teen Chinese girl with spiky hair and adamantium claws.

Lord Mhoram Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists 1 Iron Fist 2. Shang Chi 3. Captain Americ (although these three are so close it is "up to the dice" so to speak. 4 Black Panther 5. Electra I don't know the other Marvel MAs to make a judgement.

gewing Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: Marvel's Best Martial Artists I remember a comic I had when I was a kid, Shang Chi was "running a gauntlet" with a baby in his arms, as these tribesmen were swinging machete's at him, etc... They never touched him. One threw a machete at him, iirc he not only caught it in his teeth, he bit a chunk out of it when he did! Iron Fist hits harder, but... For sheer skill I suspect Shang Chi is tops. Though Cap would probably beat him in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
