movie battle: starlord vs captain America

Will update when I can use a computer.

Random city street.

In character.

Standard Gear.

Cap hands down , wasn't to impressed with Star Lord . Should put Cap against movie Drax .

@uugieboogie: star lord was lacking H2H. But his range is much better. He has guns and rocket boots. And he did dodge a laser point blank so he certainly isn't lacking in reaction time.

@allstarsuperman: his H2H was pretty bad . I don't see why cap couldn't block the lasers & knock him down with a shield toss . With Gamora physicals & her H2H her & cap would he pretty good . Zoe looked good green ;)

Depends on the distance if its a reasonable distance Starlord could take this. Ie: throw that mega magnet device so that it pins Cap to the floor (or at the very least disarms him) then BOOM headshot. If it starts near enough for Cap to get to CQC then Cap's got this.

Cap should win this 10/10. If Winter Soldier with all his weapons couldn't defeat Cap, what's Starlord gonna do? I think Cap beats everyone on the team with relative ease except for Groot.

Was waiting for this battle to be made, Starlord absolutely pwns Captain.

Firstly, a list of their weapons in this battle:

Captain America:

-Signature Vibranium Shield

-Very weak armour, can tank pistol rounds at most.

Starlord

-Two laser guns capable of blowing holes through armour and aliens. Can also be switched to stun mode which shoots out high powered blasts of electricity that one-shot most opponents.

-Helmet which gives him info on his surroundings and allows him to travel through space.

-Jet Boots that can be used in quick bursts or used to fly around.

-Gun that shoots an energy whip capable of holding superhumans like Gamora tied up for short periods of time.

-Magnetic Pieces of Metal which can hold multiple men down easily.

-Ball of light which can be turned into an ice grenade capable of freezing to heavily armoured soldiers solid.

------------

From the get go Starlord is going to throw his Magnet down, all metal in Steve's arsenal will be attracted to it, if he starts to resist, Starlord just lobs another one at Cap to double the effect. Shield is out of the equation, but if somehow Cap retains the shield, Starlord uses his High voltage setting on his guns to electrocute Cap. Or lob his ice grenade which Cap will block, which will then explode and Freeze Cap solid for Starlord to blow up.

Now for the scenario where Cap doesn't have his shield, Starlord is going to be hovering around Cap outmanouvering him while blasting him to pieces with his laser guns, or Tieing him up with the energy whip, then blowing him up, Cap will have no chance to get to Peter as Peter is much faster in this battle and can hover above Cap.

@sebast_allen: Star Lord used his magnet all of 1 time, hardly standard gear.

Nothing else is going to get past Cap's shield. And the rocket boots have limited flight capability in a gravity situation. When he is in gravity the best they are used for is temporarily boosting him like when he jumps the crevice or skids across the ground.

There's really zero proof that he could fly if he's not in zero-g.

And Gamora = Superhuman? Come on. She was pathetic in that movie. Drax isn't even stronger than Cap..

@Fallschirmjager : I'm begging you, let's have a Cav on this. Me - Movie Starlord vs someone of your choosing.

He didn't have any time at all to re-stock on equipment, that was his most standard gear because that was before he stopped being a Ravager.

His high voltage Guns get through the shield, the metal conducts, and his ice grenade was quite fragile, if he throws it at Cap, Cap will try to block it, which is when he shatters it and get's Frozen.

Hover boots statement is true, but he will still have way more speed and mobility than Cap in this fight, it doesn't matter how skilled Cap is in Close Quarters, Starlord ain't getting near him.

Gamora was quite strong, leaping a distance of like ten feet, falling from about ten feet when falling off ledge, tanked Starlords rocket into the water and then onto a wall at the end of it. Shee was able to break Groot's grip when he entangled her and she even hacked Groot's arms off, the same Groot who tanked Turret fire just fine. The whip is just a way to slow Cap down anyway.

@Fallschirmjager : I'll even do a Comic Starlord for the Cav if you want.

@sebast_allen: And pray tell me - how exactly are you going to do a CaV when nearly zero footage of the film exists?

Even if it did, a video CaV is a hassle.

And no. Standard gear is what you carry on you all the time. If you have to restock something, its not standard gear. You defeated your own argument. Why do you think every time someone with guns is matched up in a battle, people always specify which guns they have? Its because they change the weapons so much they don't have a standard one.

WS for example in Cap's movie uses M4s, Grenade launchers, the car explosive thingy...etc. His standard gear was his knives.

Comic Starlord vs Comic Cap is a whole other discussion and has no bearing to what we're talking about.

@allstarsuperman: What tech does Starlord have in this battle?

These (the ones he had in the start of the movie)?

Starlord

-Two laser guns capable of blowing holes through armour and aliens. Can also be switched to stun mode which shoots out high powered blasts of electricity that one-shot most opponents.

-Helmet which gives him info on his surroundings and allows him to travel through space.

-Jet Boots that can be used in quick bursts or used to fly around.

-Gun that shoots an energy whip capable of holding superhumans like Gamora tied up for short periods of time.

-Magnetic Pieces of Metal which can hold multiple men down easily.

-Ball of light which can be turned into an ice grenade capable of freezing to heavily armoured soldiers solid.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@fallschirmjager : Fine, then for now Starlord has

-Two laser guns capable of blowing holes through armour and aliens. Can also be switched to stun mode which shoots out high powered blasts of electricity that one-shot most opponents.

-Helmet which gives him info on his surroundings and allows him to travel through space by creating oxygen for him and keeping his body at a stable temperature.

-Jet Boots that can be used in quick bursts to outmanoeuvre opponents and get over tall or wide obstacles.

-Gun that shoots an energy whip capable of holding superhumans like Gamora tied up for short periods of time.

-Magnetic Pieces of Metal which can hold multiple men down easily.

-Ball of light which can be turned into an ice grenade capable of freezing to heavily armoured soldiers solid.

The situation has now been altered, Starlord now only has one full-proof attack strategy to beat Captain's shield defence, his high voltage shots. If and when he shoots them, Cap is going to block the blasts and the shield is going to conduct the electricity into him. Cap has no way of reaching Starlord who is going to be taking control of this battle by constantly moving around with his jet boots and/or find a high vantage point he can reach with his boots and 'snipe' Cap from there. He can also attempt to tie Cap up the the whip after Cap throws his shield at Starlord which he easily shoots to the ground or dodges and lets fall behind him.

1. First of all, even if you assume that enough voltage is going to pass through the shield into Cap (which is a big assumption since he holds the shield via grips on the back which will ground it) Cap has all ready shown terrific resistance to tasers. He was tazed dozens of times by 10~ men in a CQC situation and came out of it just fine.

2. You're still vastly overrating Star-Lord's mobility. He was fighting in the fray along with everyone else. His jet boots don't give him any kind of flight ability if we're strictly going off movie feats. At best they can give him a quick momentary boost to escape an unfavorable situation. He isn't going to be hovering around shooting Cap from afar. And the boots never even showed enough power to say - propel him up onto a building. Again, the only time he ever flew with them was in zero-g's.

3. Star-Lord also had no real reaction feats either, so "just dodge the shield" isn't exactly as easy as you claim. Cap also throws the shield so that it will ricochet and come back to him.

The bottom line is, movie Star-Lord has never seen anyone as skilled, tough and strong as Cap. Gamora was pretty bad in the film and that's the strongest person he fought 1v1. And she handled him just fine. Your claim that she is strong because she cut Groot's arm off and he tanked various blasts are completely separate types of attacks. She herself is well below things we've seen Cap do.

Cap's incredibly fast, but Quill has great durability, he endured holding the power gem for a short period of time.

Though Quill isn't the best H2H, he's still incredibly creative with the use of his weapons, and he has great reaction time dodging several lasers, i mean, look at the fight between him and Gamora.

Starlord wins due to his creativity and weapons.

@fallschirmjager: Drax is by far stronger than Cap. He was ripping apart the alien turrent mechanisms in the prison and beating down Groot.

Cap should win.

Cap

Cap

Star Lord used the boots in atmosphere to get the sphere.

His weaponry is too much for movie cap to handle.

Only chance is a good shield throw.

star-lords blast have a higher voltage than those little tasers and he has point blank accuracy and insane reaction time. hes more versatile and durable than cap and has proved to be much quicker than cap. and he has ALOT more mobility than cap so you cant even say anything about that. bottom line is movie captain america has NOTHING on movie starlord and you know it

YOU ARE ALL WRONG first of all drax will DESTROY cap second gamora is peak human and third star-lord can fly in 0 gravity and in gravity BTW Star-Lord can freeze caps shield use his magnet to take away any knives or guns cap has and finally shoot cap with his element guns for an automatic death or K.O

Cap in an epic stomp.

Cap

Bump.

It could go either way, if Peter shoots him with the electro setting, he wins, however, if he tries to go for the kill, he'll get merced when Cap blocks the shots and oneshots him.

You remember Cap getting Electrocuted multiple times in the elevator scene and soaking it off?

@dimitridkatsis: Forgot about that, but we don't know if the weapon has more or less power than Starlords, we don't even know if it's regular electricity.

Cap stomps.

@dimitridkatsis: weren't they using small tasers, Star Lords made visible electricity course through Gamoras body

it looked more powerful to me

@jacthripper: @mrnoital: are we just assuming this is the much better taser? Can't remember if it was what incapacitated Gamora or a metal line or something like that, Cap still has more durability showings than both, like taking Chitauri fire.

@dimitridkatsis: Unknown damage Chitauri Fire, but yes, Cap should probably win more often than not.

@dimitridkatsis: yeah after he hit Gamora with it she went down until they were in captivity from the Novas

Rockets is even more powerful, but I think it's safe to say Starlords is more powerful than an earth taser
