Ok well if he's strong an' powerful enough ta KO Cage, he might win cus I dunno if Cage is gonna catch him. If Cage does a thunderclap though, then he might be able to tag him an' punch him with haymakers, but I heard Kaine has survived an explosion an' even outmuscled Rhino, so as much as I love Cage I'm goin' with Kaine.
Cage should win. Very durable (doubt Kaine can KO him unless he lands hundreds of blows, if not thousands), very strong, thunder clap, has hit fast and well trained people before.
I doubt Cage would be able to tag a serious Kaine but if he does, he uses his Thing one shotting strength for the KO.
Cage has more durability than Thing nowadays. Pretty sure. Also Kaine's only supposed to be 20 tons isn't he? Oneshotting Thing sounds like PIS. Not that it matters since Cage traded blows with Namor underwater and hit Proxima Midnight so hard they were causing earthquakes.
Good fight here. On one hand Kain has fought two Spider-Men, the blonde bruiser Stunner and fought two werewolves at the same time. On the other, Cage has fought evenly with Wonder Man, hurt Namor with a punch, and taken a beating from Hulk. This is a toughy
I don't think Kaine has enough raw power to KO Cage. However, a no-bullsh*t Kaine isn't likely to even get tagged. If Cage can get a hold of him, he should win under these stipulations. If not, stalemate I guess.
@dondave: Then it doesn't really have any validity. The Thing's soaked hits from some of Marvel's heaviest hitters for years. I understand Luke Cage has shown to hit above his paygrade like knocking beings like Ironclad out, staggering a hydrated Namor etc, but if Ben has tanked hits from the likes of Thor, Hulk, Namor, Colossonaut etc, then I find it silly for someone to use Luke Cage of all people 1 hit ko'ing him as a legitimate feat.
It doesn't really matter that she left. IIRC, it was Shuma-Gorath was the cause of the earthquakes the whole time before revealing himself.
@god_spawn: You do make a good point. However, when do PIS stop being PIS feats? Cage has been a streak of taking on people above what his pay grade is supposed to be. Marvel could be unofficially raising Cage's power levels. I mean knocking out 3 high tier characters in the same year could jut be signs that times are changing for Cage.
@dondave: It doesn't matter because it's not consistent within those characters' limits. Wolverine for no reason has been nerfed tremendously in his main book. Does that mean we accept him as a crappy fighter or that he was given a bad writer that doesn't understand his character or the ones he is using when there are also consistent showings outside his main book that are consistent with a more consistent showing of said character to contradict his main book? 1 shotting She-Hulk was a future Luke Cage being used; non-usable. 1 shotting the Thing, someone who also within the last 1-2 years was stalemating and tanking hits from a freshly hydrated Namor (and within the same issue laid Cage out in 1 hit, albeit it being a sucker punch, before throwing him into a lake and pummeling him further.) and Colossus with the Juggernaut upgrade to name a couple.
I can understand giving Cage a power creep, but if we are to accept him one shotting those characters, now we also have to accept that he is now stronger than the Hulk, Thor, Namor, Colossonaut which I highly doubt you really think is plausible.
