@jashro44: How'd I miss this thread 7 months ago? Ya bum.
Black Panther clears it to Mister X with his toughest fight in the interim being the Silver Samurai (contrary to popular opinion).
1. BP has a weapon robbing Deadpool of his greatest asset. As BP has an edge on everything else, including stats & skill (and now we can add durability to that list), he takes a clear majority.
2. Second toughest fight after Mister X here IMHO. Simply put, Silver Samurai is the better swordsman (based off both his synopsis and feats) and this will boil down to a sword fight. We can refute this the day BP splits a bullet in two with a blade. With his mutant tachyon field surrounding his blade, SS can cut through anything save adamantium. Doubt BP's vibranium suit will hold up indefinitely ... especially cutting against the grain. I'm actually tempted to give this to SS.
3. Wielding the muramasa blade, Sabretooth goes down. Not really a question IMHO.
4. Daken, while significantly more dangerous and skilled than Creed, is also robbed of his two biggest advantages; healing factor and pheromones. This battle will be skill based. And even if we find that Daken is on BP's level skill-wise (I believe he is or at least damn close) BP now holds all other advantages (durability, weaponry, stats). Giving BP a majority.
5. Without the deathspores, BP wins. Vibranium suit trumps any blunt force trauma attack Red can dish out and the m. blade coupled with far superior skill deals, with the coils and the rest. Bad fight for Red.
6. Mister X for majority win IMHO. Panther does not have an answer for Mister X's retconned power-set (he doesn't merely read your thoughts, his mutant power maps his reflexes to match and respond automatically to brainwaves). Drunken Kung Fu and / or berserker rage are not part of BP's repertoire - and even if they were, given how Mister X's powers now operate, I'm not sure simply 'turning off your thoughts' should work anymore.
