I may never know how I got put on the call out list for Bane....but I've some how become a part of this strange muscle bound community.....(shrug)

Grendel in a brawl...

@koays: reasons pls. :) and specific details.

@impervious: He's got the speed, agility and weaponry to down Bane. Bane will likely realize this after an initial exchange and change his approach. Provided his "luck" is in his favor then he'll be able to slowly take down Bane over the course of several exchanges while Bane is taking his measure.

My figure is that in 5 exchanges Bane will be ready to beat him, and in 4 exchanges Grendell will have won.

i root for Bane but Grendel wins

Grendel

@jacthripper: @oceanmaster21: Can you guys pls. Be specific with details and reasonings?

Grendel have a shot here.

He can win 7 / 10 or 8 / 10.

I'm not sure what a composite Bane is like, I thought the new Bane was significantly stronger than the old one.

Using just old Bane, I would say Grendel. He's faster and his weapon gives him a big advantage.

Incidentally, @impervious (and other Grendel fans) if you're interested in Grendel, I'll plug myself and point out a bunch of Grendel-universe battles I made this summer that didn't get comments. I should have used callouts.

@impervious: bane is tactian and strong but grendel is leagues above skill wise and that makes up the diffrence

Composite Bane is formidable. He's a great tactician as well as being adequate in h2h. This with his new 52 stats is kind of terrifying.

Grendel in a horribly long fight.
