    Lack of internet is killing me.

    People are not giving Fisher his dues. He is a bad ass mofo.

    Essentially I think this comes down to a battle of patience between PunGun hidden in cover and Fisher hidden somewhere. Ripley doesn't really come into it.

    Honestly I can't decide so I flipped a coin. PunGun win.

    Doreen Green (aka Squirrel Girl) has recieved an anonymous message asking her to meet a concerned individual at the San Diego Zoo. She has been instructed to come alone. Should any squirrels be seen in her company the person she is meeting will not show. Upon arrival she is surprised to be greeted by Cyberwolf.
    "Hello Miss Green. As you can see I survived the trouble you coould not deign to assist me in resolving. I do feel I owe you an apology though for flinging you from the castle ramparts following our last meeting. However, you were the aggressor in that situation. You illegally entered my employer's home with intent to commit bodily harm on him. In essence, you were an evil, evil woman doing that. Now though, I plan to be the villian. You left me to die, now you die!

    Squirrel Girl wins with ease. But I cannot tell you how it went down as, like most of her big wins, it happened off panel. ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Orim


    It boils down to a squirrel against a wolf. An armoured wolf!

    Cyberwolf defeats Squirrel Girl but then he brings her to the noc beers cause he's nice villian at heart.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    Using her Squirrel-agility, Squirrel girl is able to dodge any attack wolf throws at her. She uses her jumping ability to get into the trees around the San Diego zoo, leaving wolf to stalk her while she leads him on a merry chase. Eventually wolf corners her in the orangutan enclosure, but that was Squirrely's plan all along, she uses her agility to take down Wolf who has trouble balancing on the chain-joined wooden platform where the confrontation takes place. Yes, Squirrel Girl shifts the battle to where she can take the advantage and uses her skills to defeat wolf.

    Yet again the canon is kept intact - Squirrel Girl/Doom/Cyber Wolf.

    Ooh this is a toughie.


    I really really really want to put up I Am The Law again.


    But if we are to take all four of those guys in peak condition and with the weapons Wolfie stipulated, then I am struggling to see anything other than a Taskmaster/Shang Chi win.


    Tasky has all the experience, thanks to his ability to mimic perfectly, with pretty much every type of firearm be it past, present, and future. He is also an expert on pretty much every fighting style, and pretty much every non firearm weapon he has seen used either irl or through footage.

    Through in the fact that he has taken the best skills that Captain America, Bullseye, Wolverine, Shang Chi, Black Panther, Punisher, various X-Men, Avernger, Fantastic Four, Heroes For Hire, and literally dozens of other highly skilled Marvel characters are capable of, and it is hard to see him lose this, especially with a fighter like Shang Chi alongside him.

    Rambo does not come close to Takmaster or Shang Chi, regardless of how tough and highly trained Rambo is.


    I think Tasky would observe Rambo and quickly realise that Rambo has nothing that the Punisher does not have, meaning Tasky is able to take him.


    Dredd is on a level above Rambo, hell he makes Rambo look like a newborn in terms of toughness alone. Dredd has fought everything from human foes to supernatural foes and won.

    I think it all boils down to something that Wolverine said whilst being in a power dampening prison along with Beast and hundreds of supervillains. Basically that when powers are taken out of the equation, it is the man with the best skills that rule the roost.

    Tasky is regarded as one of the best on the entire Marvel Universe when it comes to armed or unarmed combat and generally cannot be defeated by anyone without superpowers.

    He has very few defeats to his name, and fewer still from those without powers. Moonknight is probably the only non superpowered Marvel character to beat him soundly, simply because the Marc Spector persona is pretty masochistic in style at times, and can adapt his style to being one that wants to take pain rather than win.

    Dredd and Rambo are tough guys with super training who can take pain, but neither have the mindset to attack without wanting to win.

    With much regret I am going to have to go against Joe Dredd, and give the win to the team that contains the guy who is very close to being the best non powered combatant in the Marvel Universe.

    See you on the streets Joe.




    Tasky and Chi for the win.























    But I am still getting a bit of Anthrax in.:p








  • Registered Users Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Orim


    The shotgun and the Uzi would give Dredd and Rambo a way of filling an area with projectiles that would make it incredibly difficult for either of thier opponents to deal.

    However Shang Chi and Taskmaster is one hell of a formidable team and I assume that they wouldn't put themselves in a position to be double teamed. As such one of them will probably be wounded/killed but that just gives the other an opportunity for ass-kickery.

    TaskChi wins.


  • Moderators Posts: 51,738 ✭✭✭✭Delirium


    I'm going with TaskChi. They're the superior fighters at close range.

    Tasky also would be quite adept with the weaponary that he's carrying. So Tasky takes out the weapons of the other team from distance, then a hand to hand fight between the two teams.

    TaskChi win.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    4. Two Gun is carrying his twin Colts with multiple spare rounds, lariat, and a cut-down double barreled shotgun with 10 rounds of buckshot.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73


    How many fights has Two Gun popped up in now? :D


    Very easy fight this time in terms of picking the winners.


    Red Hood would take out the Clint Barton version of Ronin easily enough. It really would take the Echo (Maya Lopez) version to trouble the Red Hood.

    Punisher against Two Gun is a crazy mismatch.


    Red Punisher for a very very easy win.

    Red Punisher to dominate, that's a combo you just can't look past!

    punisher breaks Two Guns trigger fingers thus neutralising him as a threat.

    Then RedPun take down Ronin together.

    Have to go with Taskmaster winning this one. He is already one of the best non superpowered fighters on the planet. He already has beaten both the Punisher and Shang Chi in the past, with Shang Chi being beaten handily by Tasky a number of times. He has already beaten or at the very least matched foes that would be Batman level or above in the Marvel Universe, and whilst he does not know where Arcade's traps are, he does have one big advantage.

    He has been to Arcade's Murderworld more than once in the past and will have an idea what to expect.

    Red Hood may be thrown off slightly in Murderworld as he may think that there is a Joker link to the place and his mindset may switch to being prepared for the Joker or traps in the style of which the Joker would set.

    Shang Chi's stealth approach may work against him as Murderworld has always, right back to the very first one in the late 1970's, been set up to counter the abilities of who gets put in it. Stealth abilities have rarely fared well in it.

    Punisher has firepower with him, but Murderworld is not somewhere you can just blow the walls down and walk out. Hercules, Colossus, Cyclops, Storm, Spiderman, Doctor Doom, Nighcrawler, Wolverine, The Thing, and Iron Man are just a small number of super powered beings whose powers were tested to their limits inside Murderworld.

    Also Murderworld has a very low rate of non super powered survivors.


    We have four humans, with one capable of matching the very best the other three are capable of as well as still having all the other skills and abilities that he synced in the past. Also Tasky is generally at his best against highly trained, highly skilled fighters so Red Hood is in a world of hurt against him.


    Nope I defo cannot see beyond Tasky in this. In a human versus human fight there are very few on the planet that can beat him.



    Taskmaster to be top dog.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Punisher has booby trapped the high hell out of the location.

    Frank wins. :pac:


  • Moderators Posts: 51,738 ✭✭✭✭Delirium


    Right, I'm going with Punisher, as his strategy and fighting abilities will make full use of Murderwordl.

    I could actually him saying, "Murderworld? Sounds like home." :P:D

    Tasky is a truly gifted fighter, however his strategy abilities are severely lacking. I'm going to say Punisher will use this against. Possibly allow him to take out the other two and step in to kill Tasky.

    I'm voting for Punisher to take the title.


    Right, I missed the part where Task is put in there by Arcade. That makes a world of difference to me.

    Going to have to change my vote and give it to Taskmaster.

    If you can read this, you're too close!



  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 18,377 Mod ✭✭✭✭Solitaire


    Hope I'm not butting in :o But... Kess kinda spelt it out ;)

    This is the one place Frank's tactical control skills aren't going to be much use. Plenty of traps, but none of them his :p Whereas Taskie will just take things (relatively) slow and steady - a stroll in the park, if you will :D

    In Murderworld's kill-or-be-killed environment I don't see anyone teaming up temporarily to offer TM a serious combined threat of being overwhelmed. Unless Red got incredibly lucky I see only Frank as the only truly credible individual threat to Task and there's an unfortunate track record to contend with there... and Taskie on the defensive can handle both Frank and Murderworld together. Frank... might be just that little bit overeager to try and settle past scores with him... only a tiny fraction, but in Murderworld, that could be enough.

    There's a reason Arcade sent him ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    Must say I have to side with Taskmaster on this. I was originally thinking "Yes, The Punisher will have a tactical edge" but then I completely forgot where the fight was happening.

    Arcade won't allow The Punisher to sit and wait, and none of his strategies can be relied upon because the game always changes in Murderworld.

    Taskmaster has so many skills goin' on, he's like skill city... reckon he'll become ze vinner for sures.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Orim


    The non-Taskmaster entrants would have a hard enough time with Murderworld alone. With a fresh and paid-up Taskmaster hunting them, they don't stand a chance.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    I'm gonna go with the Punisher. That bugger loves traps, especially when they're set for him. Plus I reckon he's the most macchielevian of the lot - a master of playing his opponents off against each other.
