Who would win in a fight:
Achilles from the Iliad vs Marvel's Captain america?
>>84425963
There's a good chance Cap has read the Illiad from his bookworm 4-F days and thus would know about Achilles critical weakpoint from that. Achilles, on the other hand, probably hasn't read Captain America.
Achilles is technically invincible so it's a matter of how long the fight goes on. If Cap can hold him off long enough to get him to accidentally let Cap get a shot at the back of his legs (very doable since cap's primary weapon is all about allowing him to attack from unexpected angles against unprepared foes) there's a decent chance Steve can do it. If Achilles wants the win I'd say he has to do it quick, the longer the fight goes on the worse his chances seem to me.
Achilles's shitty bronze isn't going to help him out.

Bitch, his armor was forged by motherfucking Hephaestus.
>>84427513
So it's the second best piece of armor in this fight.
Achilles is a jobber.

the feats made by "items made by Gods from actual mythology" are quite small

>This fiction is older and thus more legitimate

Thor's hammer was enable to beat cap shield. What makes you think gay Greek gods could make something better?

>enable
unable, goddammit.

I can't see cap winning
I can see the fight going on until Cap is on the ground trying to stand but failing
Achilles would walk over to him and poise himself to take the final blow
Cap would reach up and try to use him as some sort of leverage to stand up and grip him by the heel and then Achilles is down
Cap just holds on and regains some american pride
They are both at the same level, collapsing from exhaustion and blacking out
I can see that being the only way Cap doesn't lose the fight
But Achilles would win if the fight went in his favor

One of them is strong and invincible if he protects his ankle, the other one is just strong. Cap's "weapon" is better, but having a sword is helpful.
>>84429992
Could be that the gay greek gods are actual gods and not lame ass shitty aliens?
>>84430173
In marvel universe? I don't think so.
>>84426245
>Achilles, on the other hand, probably hasn't read Captain America
kek'd.
if we follow the iliad's thematic and they are just pawns of the gods, Achilles would kill cap, since the only god that could support him had only power over a mountain at the time.

It's not in the marvel universe
It's a crossover universe where things aren't always consistent, like how cap's completely vibranium but is able to completely rebound off of walls despite
that being said, it's completely possible to break cap's shield if you have the right powerset
>>84426245
Illiad's required reading in military academies too.
>>84430279
Then it just turns into dick measurement contest.
Anyway, if Achilles was invincible because of magic water why did he need some god-tier armor in the first place?
>>84425963
Isn't Achilles invincible apart from his heel? Depends how well read Cap is I suppose
>>84428971
That's a New Zealand flag by the way
>>84425963
Ancient Greeks were manlets. Reach advantage goes to Cap.
>>84427513
Armor that wasn't enough to protect the one part where it actually mattered.
And Captain America is pretty knowledgable so long as we're sticking to pre-1940s facts, which Achilles and the Illiad definitely are. And the fact that Achilles' heel was vulnerable is a well known bit of mythology, even among the general populace of the US. Like in most of the English speaking world, the phrase "Achilles heel" is commonly used in the US to describe a critical vulnerability.
Cap definitely has the advantage going in.
How exactly is Cap going to utilize the heel vulnerability?

Physics defying shield tricks.
Odysseus > Cap > Achilles the faggot
