Who is the best martial artists among all of /co/?
Karate Kid?
That guy from the future, karate kid
>>82703421
Batman has punked Karate Kid on at least one occasion.
Dick Dragon or Shang Chi
>>82703528
Correction; Batman has had writers arbitrarily make him able to punk Karate Kid on more then one occasion.
Because Batman can't do this.
>>82703667
Or this.
Karate Kid
>>82703689
This either. So yes; Karate Kid is best in DC's continuity.
When Batman wins the only actual reasons they give are "Reasons", as he rarely even does anything involving strategy or skill that would give him an advantage.
Pretty sure Groo is undefeated.
Even Conan couldn't kill him.
>>82703243
David Aja.
Tonci Zonjic
Kano
the Fiumara bros.
maybe Emma Rios?
they're the only ones who come to mind really, everyone else has really stiff looking fight scenes.
>>82703243
your mom on my dick.
Luther Strode is probably pretty high up there. He mastered the art of killing and acquired superhuman physical attributes, senses, a healing factor and some sort of spider-sense as a result. He is basically a what-if Spider-man was bitten by a radioactive murder.
remember that time Karate Kid killed an entire universe by sneezing?
Popeye after spinach
>>82704463
>mastered the art of killing
We'll see about that.
>>82703667
>>82703689
>>82703782
This is one of the most retarded characters ever created.
best martial artist? dunno
most entertaining martial artist? the badger
Pretty sure the best /co/ martial artist is Karate Kid.
>>82703421
This is the correct answer
>>82703421
Has Karate Kid ever fought Lady Shiva? I feel like she's the only person that can stand a chane against him combat-wise.
>Ctrl+F Karnak
NOTHING?!
MOTHERFUCKERS, ALL OF YOU!
>>82710123
>>82710123
Batman only won this one because of faglord black lightning.
>>82709914
> there has never been a kumite crossover event between DC's best fighters.
You'd think Chuck Dixon would have done that in the 90s or someone realize the goldmine in epic fights that would bring.
>>82704232
>maybe Emma Rios
Only with a sword. I don't think she trains in a non-bladed martial art, however she is a very capable fencer.
>>82709914
Nope, not yet. In all fairness though, we're talking about the mistress of all the martial arts in the world vs the master of all the martial arts in the universe. I love Shiva like life itself, but the most bullshit thing she ever did was either pic related or using Hokuto Shinken to kill and revive her daughter in a single night. Meanwhile, Val is punching asteroids and making earthquakes with his hands. It wouldn't be the longest fight ever is what I'm saying.They'd both probably love it and end up going for tea afterwards, though.
Also, haha! Fanart!
>>82710499
Y'know, that explains a lot about how good the fights in Pretty Deadly are. That cavalry saber vs butterfly swords one in vol 1 was fucking amazing.
>>82710743
>>82710766
>>82710782
>>82710798
>>82710821
>>82706537
>>82710798
fucking dc. such potential on this baller ass run
>>82706537
There's a reason he's the only Legion member without super powers.
>>82703421
>>82703528
>>82703732
>>82704606
How the hell does a wax on wax off regiment make you a good karate fighter?
MOTHER
FUCKING
KARNAK
>>82711132
>>82711272
>>82711132
>>82711150
>>82711272
>>82711293
Karnak is great but a large portion of his fighting ability is from being superhuman and being able to see the weakness in everything.
>>82711272
>>82711293
OH COME ON, LIKE YOU FUCKING MEAN IT
>>82711467
>>82710743
>Not wearing Dick's first costume
Why? Cannot hide the erection?

>>82711502
>>82703528
>>82703667
>>82703689
>>82703782
When the fuck has Batman ever beat up Karate Kid? All I remember is him losing and then Black Lightning saving him.
You just sound like you're reaching for a reason to bitch about Batman.
>>82711523
>>82711540
>>82711556
>>82711572
>>82711403
>Karnak has enhanced strength, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes as a result of his genetically superior Inhuman physiology. Unlike most Inhumans, he does not have superhuman powers as a result of exposure to the mutagenic Terrigen Mist, as he was never exposed to the Mist. Instead, Karnak has the extrasensory ability (achieved through meditation and intensive training) to perceive stress points, fracture planes, or weaknesses in objects or persons. He has complete voluntary control of most of his autonomic bodily functions. All striking surfaces of his body are extremely toughened. He is capable of shattering substances up to and including mild steel and rendering superhuman opponents unconscious by striking them.
The super strength, endurance, and durability I'll give you...
But the rest is fucking training.
Also all the other dudes on this list fight guys with that all the fucking time.
All this Karnak...
>>82711935
>>82711935
Karnak is a pussy compared to BP.
Let's see if we can't patch up a list. In no particular order...
Batman (Bat-Family in general)
Shang-chi
Ironfist
Daredevil
Karate Kid
Lady Shiva
Karnak
Hm, that's only 7...
Daughters of the Dragon?
>>82712200
We all still think that page was horseshit, yeah?
>>82711594
This is actually pretty cool. Usually these are mainly the dude striking poses while people are pretending to be hurt, but the artist depicted enough movement through panels to suggest otherwise.
>>82712279
The general consensus (even the writer's intention) is that the Surfer was letting BP think he had him at his mercy so he would talk freely. BP is knocked out on the next page and SS gets mad about it
>>82712279
Yes. Especially since the hold Black Panther is describing ANYONE could break out of if they tried hard enough.
Even if you make Surfee his pre-super strength days where he was physically weaker then The Thing and relied more on his blasts he could just squeeze T'Challa's arm and snap it in two with his fingers.
There ARE holds like BP is describing, but that certainly isn't one of them. That's a generic as fuck hammerlock hold which every cop on planet Earth is taught in basic training.
>>82712200
Step your surfer game up T'challa
>>82712279
diversity
>>82712260
Richard Dragon
Ben Turner (Bronze Tiger)
Cassandra Cain
Badger
EVERYONE in Infinite Kung-Fu
... Master Splinter?
>>82704995
>We'll see about that in 6 more months
fixed
>>82712597
Wrong. What's even funnier is the writer basically said people didn't like the page because they are racist.
Where does the Immortal Iron Fist stack on the list of Martial Masters?
>>82713145
Well he killed a dragon with his bare hands so... Pretty up there.
>>82713145
He severe the ankles of a giant effortlessly without using his Iron Fist so I would assume he is pretty high up there.
Honestly the top 10 is probably those that are capable of doing superhuman martial arts like Shang-Chi, Iron-fist, Karate Kid and etc. Guys like Batman, Captain America, Daredevil and etc. are a tier below them.
>>82713201
Wrestled to Submission. The K'un would keep the dragon alive and let it die of natural causes so that they could feed on its body for its chi and watch over the dragon egg it shits out at the end of its life cycle.
>>82713311
What comic is that from?
>>82713372
Iron-Fist
>>82713476
No duh. I mean what arc? What issue?
>>82711823
Yeah Karnak is Crazy in the skill factor
>>82713372
>>82713532
The immortal iron fist chapter 23 according to google
>>82713658
Thank you Anon-kai
>>82713145
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Prince of Orphans yet.
>>82714214
Because he is mostly just abusing his intangible power and has yet to shown capable of any other superhuman feat.
>>82712861
>"Read the scene again and this time pay attention. The Surfer allowed the Panther to "restrain" him in the hope of finding out what the FF was up to. A panel later, the Surfer's assistant blasts the Panther unconscious. The Surfer is irritated because he wanted the Panther to talk, which he thought he might do if the Panther believed he had the upper hand. Most of the people who bitch about this have only seen a scan of one page, or have poor reading comprehension skills."
Unless there's another response I'm not aware of racism was never brought up. That said it's a poorly conveyed scene in a run that wasn't all that great as a whole.
Kinda unrelated, but I was really hoping the reboot of Deadly Hands of Kung Fu would be good.
>>82710683Wait.. not fighting in this ridiculous outfit? Or any of the Benes' designed suits?
>>82712782
I'd think Shredder is up there too given he just foughtthough lost.Batman in a heavily armored suit.
>>82715854
is she spinning a yugioh card
>>82712260
1 Karate Kid
2 Karnak
3 Shang Chi
4 Iron Fist
5 Cassandra Cain (the rest of the bat family is under Lady Shiva, everybody but Bruce is also probably under Black Canary pre-52)
6 Lady Shiva
...
20something Daredevil. He's good but not in this list good. Elektra is above him.
>>82712782
This one is harder because I haven't read much with Richard Dragon and Bronze Tiger.
Master Splinter is up there with Cassandra Cain and Lady Shiva. Batman acknowledges him in the crossover.
>>82711935
>>82711954
Is this about how it should go or is this considered more BP-wank?
>>82716323
Always bet on Vibranium.
>>82716052
Nah this.
>>82716323
Less BP wank and more Karnak anti-wank. Karnak literally never lands a hit on human heroes because it would be instant death. Look at his fight with Mantis, she got to punch him but said would win if it went on too long, and chose to toss widow here >>82711823 . Karnak never lands a hit again human heroes.
That being said I have no idea who would win between the two but I doubt BP would oneshot him the guy has take hits from much stronger people.
>>82715854
Who is the barefoot cutie?
>>82717374
That is her daughter Cassandra, an also equally talented martial artist.
>>82717374
Cassandra Cain, who was subjected to such intense training that the parts of her brain used for speech and reading and stuff was overwritten with a language of how to read an opponents moves.
She's more than a little badass in a fight.
>forgetting Champion of the Universe the canon best martial artists within Marvel.
>>82703243
Damain Wayne.
>>82719282
>>82718015
>more than a little badass
She's fucking metahuman level. Without being a Meta.
Al Guhl men.
>>82719371

>Killing Dick wasn't enough, he now has to assassinate his legacy
Truly the greatest scheme against Batman Ra's Al Ghul has ever devised.
>>82719428
Oh. Tim...pls.
>>82719371
>>82719415
what has she done?
>>82703243
>>82719530
That is Tim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>82716056
Youre severely underrating Daredevil. Remember his radar sense comes from training from stick. He's probably as skilled as Lady Shiva maybe more since he has legit bullet timining feats .
>>82719530
THIS IS SO A WHITE BOY GUYS..that makes me laugh.
>>82719383
Dick defeated Ras al Guhl.
>>82719678
I'll have to congratulate Dick
>>82719693
hha I know the joke..
martial artist if Dami gets older he is the number one.
>>82703243
Batman due to "plot armor" (read: higher sales).
Should be Karate Kid though if not for bullshit.
How is there even a contest. He cannot lose.
I read a a marvel comic that hero.his name is wolverine.he is like Damian's real dad.
>>82719889
cute:)
>>82719820
Interesting. Any examples?
From the big 2 it's got to be, all the Cain's, David Dragon, Bronze Tiger, Lady Shiva, O-Sensei, Karate Kid, Black Canary, and Batman. Marvel has Karnak, Mantis, Task Master, Finesse, Dare Devil, Iron Fist/any Immortal Weapon, Elektra, Lady Bullseye(multiple characters in comic says she's a better "fighter") and Shang-Chi.
>>82710421
dis a cool page
>>82719349
Honestly, the kid is the best, most complete pure fighter who’s ever worn the Robin costume. He’s also the most driven and prepared. Probably the closest thing to Batman, really.
>>82720057
YOU FORGOT wolverine.he is a marvel hero.
wolverine.:not killing is wrong!
Damian :daddy I love you!
>>82720114
I'm gonna treat this as not trolling. But Wolverine, X-23, and Daken should all be up there if writer correctly. Logan and Daken have hella years under their belts and Laura was bred and trained from birth to be a better Wolverine. And in her run was drawn as a much more tactical fighter ending fights as fast and efficiently as possible. But writers kind of forgot all this. Making them all slash and no real skill. Though because of X-23's feet claws she gets the illusion of doing cooler shit. Thus looking more skilled.
>>82720286
wolverine is my Favourite marvel hero..I read his comics now.
X-23,is ok too.
Motherfucking Batroc the Leaper.

JLA: Welcome to the Work Week. After saving a whole town of people by teleporting them to a Watchtower Hanger, one young man manages to avoid being sent back and observes the Justice League during their downtime.

Batman. End of the thread.
>>82711128
Make it some strong ass wax?
>>82712814
its out on the 25th.
Ra's al Ghul
>>82703421
Why would you call yourself like this?
Karate is like the worst martial art on earth.
>>82719519
Beat Shiva twice with no poisons or handicaps(when it meant something), fought Batman and Deathstroke to a draw, and did a few other things.
>>82703243
Easy.
