Comic Vine Battle of the Week: TMNT vs. Deadpool

The heroes in a half shell or the merc with a mouth? The winner is determined by YOUR vote!

Oh yes, this is going to be a really fun melee to think about. It's time for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to take on Deadpool! The Turtles have been making an awesome return in IDW's reboot, eventually defeating the Shredder and taking on the likes of General Krang and Slash. Meanwhile, Deadpool's remaining hilarious and awesome in his new title over at Marvel, where he humiliated Batroc and took down the undead and amped U.S. Presidents.

But if these two sides clashed, who would win? Will numbers and teamwork eventually overcome a healing factor and skill edge? Before diving into the debate and casting your vote, there's a few key things I have to address for this one.

  • "Gregg, this fight is dumb. Deadpool can't die so he eventually wins!" Being unkillable doesn't make Wade unbeatable . In the CV Battle of the Week, knockout or temporary incapacitation count as a loss, so if the team can accomplish that, they'd technically be victorious.
  • "Deadpool has a gun. He shoots them. Game over, man!" In the IDW series, they've consistently shown the ability to deflect and dodge projectiles. So yeah, not that simple.
  • "Deadpool is a joke and can't fight." Sure, he tends to goof around from time to time, but the dude definitely has a slight skill edge over any of the Turtles in a 1v1 setting and his stats are above peak human.
  • And while we're talking about stats, it's worth noting the Turtles are also above peak human.
TMNT or Deadpool? You have until Friday morning to vote!

Comic Vine Battle of the Week Rules

  • Combatants are in character (both sides are current/standard versions).
  • This is a random encounter.
  • They're fighting in a generic downtown city setting. It's unpopulated and at night. Assume they start roughly 25 feet apart and visible. There's a fair amount of cover between them.
  • All characters have standard gear.
  • Incapacitation, knockout or death all count as elimination.

CLICK HERE TO VOTE!!!

Voting will remain open until this Friday morning (ET) and a new article will go on the homepage shortly after. Please keep in mind voting remains open for four days so you can research the characters and read the debates presented for both sides. I know it's easy to vote for the side you like more, but please try to have adequate information on both sides before casting your vote.

Friday's update will include one Viner's argument for the winning team (only posts in the poll thread will be considered *link above* and it can't be a scan fest), the staff's thoughts and if we're extra lucky, thoughts from writers, artists and others in the industry! Viners, it's understandable that debates over "who would win?" can get heated, but please try to keep the conversations informative and not personal.

Feel free to make future match suggestions in the comments below or via Gregg's Twitter page.

I'm gonna have to go with Deadpool. I think at first at first the Turtles would woop him because he'd be too busy laughing his arse off at them, I mean seriously how could Wade not resist laughing at a team of giant turtles. But after that he would heal quickly, get serious, and win this easily. "No Mr. Nice Assassin"

Deadpool wins. He has in the past beaten a few avengers members at once and he has major advantages due to his healing factor.

Deadpool splits a pizza with them. End of battle.

Something like this, and then he tries to get the turtles on Wolverine's Xmen team!

I agree with a couple of others as soon as DP and Mikey start talking the fighting is over. Plus the battles aren't always too the death, in this instance it is until the need for fast food is met.

Love this comment. Absolutely right, sir.

I feel like Deadpool's above average intelligence is being downplayed here. Deadpool is annoying and acts stupid, but he has outsmarted more heroes than people give him credit for. He's also master linguist, and a tactical mastermind.

Thanks for reading,

I like both, but I think wade would win if he got serious. Honestly though I think if deadpool saw them he'd think that they were really cool and take them out for pizza and drop the fight after which he would say.

"Listen up here boys, your uncle wade is going to give you a little wisdom, watch your backs out there, be cool, and if anyone comes towards you in a costume with an X on it, run like hell, especially if its a hot chick or a guy with claws, or a hot chick with claws, wait is Laura legal yet? I'll have to check on wikipedia but it really doesn't matter, arcade's still playing with her."

I think Donnie would figure out his "unkillable" which would cause Leo command his bros to hold nothing back. They won't kill Wade but they remove his limbs and head.

If Deadpool knew someone was voting to see who would win the battle, then he would go all out. But if this was just a battler neither side knew about, Deadpool would let them beat him to give them confidence and then later shove that confidence in their faces.

I don't really care for Deadpool either in the 80s and 90s nobody cared about him now he just recently got popular for all the new generation comic and gamer fans out of nowhere he is gonna get a lot of new generation votes based off his look,guns etc he has a terrible teleportion ability he always complains about so that wouldn't be of any use against the turtles plus they would easily come up with a counter attack once he reappeared also deadpool has never been a better fighter then any of the turtles they are hardcore and very organized trained warriors since birth Deadpool has medioocre fighting ability's compared to the ninja turtles he is use to his guns and blade to do his killing the turtles are violent killers in thier original comics hacking and cutting up thier enemies they switched it to robots when they made tmnt a cartoon show but they are extremely violent killers they would all overpower deadpool eventually and easily hack off one of his body parts or even his head wolverine did it alone this is all four turtles no way he could take them all on and Deadpool only has 1or2 firearms on him the turtles would immediately focus on all his projectile weapons and destroy them with shurikens and ninja stars making a fight down to close combat and there Deadpool has no chance maybe head up against 1 turtle but no way could he take on all four he would get in a few blows but when they all clear away from him Deadpool would be a pile of chopped up human parts in the city streets he could no way defeat Leonardo's mastery of swords the turtles would defeat him and u got too remember Tmnt are use to fightin ninjas/assassins/mutants/cyborgs/giant killer robots full of machine guns and lasers etc thier use to taking out artillery weapons plus its all four TMNT got this in the bag

if this were a one on one battle i could deff see DP walking away with this one, but this is a 4 on 1. these arent Hand ninjas, they arent faceless goons, and they arent loser bdaguys that show up only to get humiliated and messed around with. these are the best ninjas in comics, and 4 of them vs Dp could deff take him. this isnt a battle to the death, an incapacitation or knockout is a win, so i deff think the turtles could knock his @ss out

Wow, that was difficult to read.

And I will concede ONE point: No one cared about Deadpool in the 80s. Hinthintnudgenudge -- his first appearance was in 1991.

That sure is a tough job figuring out the victor. I don't know, with his healing factor makes him less likely to fight the right way so I will have to go with TMNT in this. When you're un-killable, I would think your motivation to fight lessens since you figure you'll just eventually win. Gives the heroes in a half shell an edge here I think.

I'm not 100 on the turtles potential but from where I see it. Deadpool's got this in the bag. His healing factor. His weaponry. His experience. Though it is 4 v 1 Deadpool's unpredictable style's going to make it kinda hard for Don or Leo to make a plan against. Lol. But as I said. Not 100% on the turtles full potential as a fighting force.

The "Heroes in a Half Shell" would probably put up a good fight, but i think DP would win. He runs out of ammo and just pulls out another gun from his magic satchel, plus he also has his healing factor. The verbal battle between Mikey and Wade would be sick. That i would pay to see.

I like both,but Deadpool has the edge,he can keep up with Marvel's best characters.He fought Hulk,Wolverine,Bullseye,Iron Fist,nearly beating(if not beating) all of them,except Banner,of course.His insanity makes him unpredictable,so the random encounter gives him the edge.While the Turtles will try to incapacitate him,he will fight to kill,the Turtles don't know about his healing either,so he has the edge here too.

TMNT for the win. Deadpool doesn't have anything that Turtles haven't dealt with before. They've with expert marksman before(not to mention the fact that the turtles are expert marksmen themselves.). They deal with over the top goofiness all the time in form of Michelangelo. DP's healing factor is his biggest advantage, but it won't be long before Donny outthinks him, Leo chops his head off, Or Raph beats him to death pretending that it's Micky.

Deadpool would win but not easily, The Turtle's are skilled and do have the numbers, that said Deadpool has been out number against stronger opponents and has been victorious. Deadpool agility and reflexes are what will allow Deadpool keep up with the Turtle's team work, which in this case is the Turtle's strongest card. Deadpool's skill's in hand to hand combat and melee weapons (though at times erratic and goofy (depending on the writer)) can be pretty lethal, also Deadpool isn't afraid to use explosives even if it's at his own expense. In a random encounter and morals on they wouldn't damage Deadpool enough to keep him down and I feel by that time Deadpool could just very well could take out one or two of the Turtle's and by the times they do know that Deadpool has a healing factor the damage would be done the Turtle's wont have the resources or team work for a come back and take him down.

The Idw series the Turtles are too green, plus Dp is unpredictable. Most likely all of them would die but for Mikey, so some sick reason i think he'd kill Ralph and Leo and try to befriend Donnie and Mikey. Then again ... The Turtles would win. I think he would be enthralled with them unless he was honestly trying to kill them, then only Mikey would survive. The more i think about it, the more hilarious this could be with the proper writer!

I'm gonna have to go with the Turtles on this one, 4 against 1? Though Maybe you can put Leonardo against Deadpool since they both have swords.

Like the TMNT haven't dealt with super-powered foes with guns. They fought immortal demons and aliens for Pete sake. TMNT for the win, booyakasha:
