Gambit
Location
Equipment
Gambit: Bo Staff & Cards
Booster Gold: Normal Power Suit (goggles, wrist blasters, gauntlets )
Prep Time: None
Distance: 5 feet
Confrontation: Face-to-face
What do you guys and girls think... :)
Booster Gold wins. Not only can he get out of range of anything Gambit throws, but he can blast him.
And he has his forcefield.
I believe in Gambit, I think the force fields, flight and blasters are an advantage. But Gambit is a skilled hand-to-hand fighter, agile and I think he can outsmart Booster Gold.
But let me look it up and make sure....
Gambit! Gambit! Gambit! I see him winning this match.
Remember Booster doesen't have Skeet and that is something he needs when it comes to serious strategy. Gambit is a strategic and crafty fighter, he is not going down because Booster has flight, blasters and force fields.
Gambit may be strategic, but he's outmatched.
You definitely have to read them. The last one was absolutely hilarious. Ted and Booster are so great together.
Booster Gold could blow him out the water, but so can Gambit. It depends how they fight on that day and Gambit is not going to get KO'd that easily, if at all.
Gambit just doesn't have the right abilities to take on Booster and win. After all, we're talking about a guy who fights the Royal Flush Gang on a regular basis. He's used to beating down guys who use the whole card theme. :P He has a better chance of winning because he could outlast Gambit.
Booster's gotten some really solid writing. Dan Jurgens was always great (hope he comes back soon) and the current team of Keith Giffen and J.M. Dematteis are fantastic. DC always has strong writers.
When I first read Booster Gold I was shocked it was written really well. He actually got me deeper into DC. :)
For a while he was the only DC title I read. Now he's my current favourite. I have to put together enough money to buy some more TPBs and back issues. All so great.
What other DC comics do you read?
Gen Lost, Brightest Day, Secret Six, Emerald Warriors, and maybe Flash. I'm on the fence with that one. You?
Secret Six, Red Hood, Red Robin, Outsiders, Teen Titans, X Factor, Curse of The Mutant (The fourth issue at the very end, finally picked up. Let's see where it goes in the next one), Daken, New Mutants, Wolverine, Titans, Invincible (just picked up for the first time). Those are the ones that come to mind.
Secret Six is great. I had to put down Outsiders when Batman got involved, but I'm thinking about picking up Red Robin. I like the Teen Titans current roster, but I'm probably gonna pick up the Superboy title when it comes out instead. Love Invincible, but I'm too far behind. I need to pick up the Collections now. I can never really get into any of the X titles. I liked X-Factor for a while when Madrox was running it and tried X-Force for a while, but that's it.
"his force fields have been able to take a hit from Doomsday before"
Not very well.
Didn't Doomsday (in the same almost weakest version and with armor stuff holding him back) also hit Blue Beetle without killing him?
I'd hardly say Booster Gold has durability to take Doomsday level hits without having problems. Still, they can probably stand up to anything Gambit can dish out. Probably.
" Booster all the way. Kinectically charged cards are no match for his force field. "
Booster Gold's shields were strong enough to survive hits by Doomsday, nothing Gambit does will hurt him
"Booster Gold's shields were strong enough to survive hits by Doomsday, nothing Gambit does will hurt him "
By that logic, Ted Kord's skin was strong enough to survive a hit from Doomsday and therefore, he must be bulletproof and there's no way Gambit can hurt him.
I'm sorry but I don't see Booster Gold surviving hits from Doomsday as a feat. That's plot.
" @Zoom said:" @Nighthunter said:Didn't the shield buckle afterwards...I'll go with booster gold here... ""Booster Gold's shields were strong enough to survive hits by Doomsday, nothing Gambit does will hurt him "
Pretty sure, yeah. I seem to remember Booster being really bloodied up.
" @Sexy Merc said:Yeah, I said a hit though. No doubt that if Doomsday continued to attack him, his shields would have been done in the next 2 punches.Not very well.

Ted didn't get beat up by Doomsday as it turns out. I was remembering Doomsday beating up Booster after breaking through his force field. I remember reading it and thinking it was crap. "Like Booster's force field can't stand up to Doomsday but then Doomsday takes several hits to KO Booster? Laaaaame." I also don't see Doomsday doing anything in these scans that puts him faster than say...Batgirl let alone the Flash.
