This weeks
VS POLL involves two Marvel heroes who happen to be very close friends. Daredevil, who has been featured in cartoons and on the silver screen is standing in one corner. In the other we find T'Challa (aka) The Black Panther, who has been featured in animation and is rumored to appear in either a film of his own, or an Avengers film, or both in the not so distant future.
To help set the stage, (which has been a sore point in previous POLLS) the two meet by chance, with no prep or knowledge of each others capabilities. Its go time, up until the first unconscious fall. This is not about getting put down and then figuring out how to go about beating the opponent. This is one fall and both go on with their previous business.
Here is a brief list of both Characters capabilities... DAREDEVIL Blinded by a freak accident, Daredevil developed a special "radar sense" which acts in much the same manner as echolocation. His inner ear is also greatly developed, increasing his equilibrium and balance, which in effect grants him an almost superhuman gymnastic ability and agility level.
This from Wikipedia... Though he has no superhuman physical attributes beyond an enhanced sense of balance, Daredevil is a master of martial arts. Having been trained by Stick, Daredevil is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant. His typical moves are unique blends of the martial arts of Ninjutsu, Jujutsu, Judo, and stick fighting combined with American-style boxing while making full use of his gymnastics capabilities.
Daredevil's signature weapon is his specially-designed billy club, which he created. Disguised as a blind man's cane in civilian garb, it is a multi-purpose weapon and tool that contains thirty feet of aircraft control cable connected to a case-hardened steel grapnel. Internal mechanisms allow the cable to be neatly wound and unwound, while a powerful spring launches the grapnel. The handle can be straightened for use when throwing. The club can also be split into two parts, one of which is a fighting baton, the other of which ends in a curved hook. THE BLACK PANTHER Again from Wikipedia... The title "Black Panther" is a rank of office, chieftain of the Wakandan Panther Clan. As chieftain, the Panther is entitled to eat a special heart-shaped herb, as well as his mystical connection with the Wakandan Panther god, that grants him superhumanly acute senses and increases his strength, speed, stamina, and agility to the peak of human development. He has since lost this connection and forged a new one with another unknown Panther deity, granting him augmented physical attributes as well as a resistance to magic. His senses are so powerful that he can pick up a prey's scent and memorize tens of thousands of individual ones. T'Challa is a rigorously trained gymnast and acrobat, showing mastery in various African martial arts as well as contemporary ones and fighting styles that belong to no known disciplines. In Doomwar, T'Challa created a completely new form of martial arts combat style which incorporated both science and sorcery.
He is a skilled hunter, tracker, strategist, and scientist — he has a Ph.D. degree in physics from Oxford University. Considered one of the eight smartest people on the planet, he is a genius in physics and advanced technology, and is a brilliant inventor. As always, may the best hero win! PREVIOUS MATCH UPS...
