2013 CBM FightClub TUESDAY SUPERBATTLE CCCLVII (357)

1. I meant to vote for Kingpin, but I accidentally hit Huntress-I don't think any of her projectiles would do much against that much muscle, all Fisk needs to do is land one good punch and she's out cold. That shouldn't be hard to do because he's got mad martial arts skill too...

2. I didn't vote-I'm gonna stick with the idea of not voting with non-comic characters, though I won't be all that strict as I might make an exception here and there.

3. I voted for Booster Gold-seriously, why has Cap won this one before?? He'd get completeky destroyed against BG, it's like Batman vs War Machine... BG has withstood Darkseid and Doomsday, there's no way for Cap to be able to hold against that...btw I viciously hate BG, while Cap is my 3rd favorite her of all time.

I'm sticking with Doomsday in the big fight.

I'll take all the ones on the right today with Green Lantern : Hal Jordan winning the battle...

And what happened after Iron Man beat Cap in Civil War? Cap turned around and beat him right back, and he didn't have a suit of armor to help him.

Not taking anything overboard. What, Batman can beat Silver Surfer with prep but Cap can't beat Booster Gold with the same? ;)

I was being facetious about the Batman/Silver Surfer thing. You and I both agree about that, I was just poking a bit of fun. But if I have to explain my rationale, so be it:

Offensively, there's not much BG can do against Cap. Cap's shield will protect him against any projectile/engergy blasts that he can't simply physically evade, and since as a fighter Cap's rapid-fire synapses enable him to calculate an opponent's moves and counter them with little effort, BG won't be able to lay a hand on him. And since it's been proven that BG's force field can be nullified with sufficient force, all Cap has to do is keep hammering at it with his shield until it breaks down. It might take hammering at the force field all day to do so, but with Cap's limitless endurance, he can hammer at it a lot longer than that.

I'm not saying it would be an easy fight; obviously it would take some doing to break down BG's force field. But I think Cap could handle it. You should know by now I wouldn't say so if I thought otherwise. :)

Kingpin

What? Who...did anyone actually ASK for this guy? Who is this?

Booster Gold. Look, this is one of those times when even though I love Cap I have to suck it up and look objectively. Booster's force field can be broken BY SUFFICIENT FORCE. So can an iron door, but your ten-year-old can kick at it all day and he's not going to get through. The field is simply orders of magnitude stronger than Cap's maximum output of force: it's taken a punch from [frick]ing Doomsday, for instance. Whatever else might be said about Cap's supposedly undefeatable reaction time and processing power, the fact is that there is far greater opportunity for for him to slip just once than there is for Booster's shield to fail him in a compromising moment, particularly as Booster can just fly above the reach of shield and rain down destruction. Even if Cap blocks all direct attacks with his shield, if he stays in one place even a few moments long the residual heat is going to fry him anyway.

So from Booster's point of view, all he needs to do is hover there and plug away, erecting force field at sign of incoming shield and lazily drifting away should Cap try to climb up to him. From Cap's point-of-view, this is absolute hell. Debris is flying everywhere, he's constantly fleeing laser blasts, and if he counterattacks he leaves himself open to being roasted like a marshmallow.
