New 52 Bane vs Kraven

In character

Winner by KO, Incapacitation or Death

Random encounter

Regular equipment

Fight takes place inside an unpopulated apartment building at night

Who'd win? For what reasons?

Kraven will probably outlast him thanks to his healing factor and use of his bladed weapons (not to mention his durability means he can recover from those big hits), but he'll certainly get roughed up in the process.

Psh. Man, everyone in Marvel got a damn healing factor.

Healing factors in the now.

@wolverine08: except for Wolverine (runs away)

BUMP

@reaverlation: Ahhhh snap son!

Kray Kray

BUMP

Kraven wrecks

:)

Kraven (after his resurrection) man handled Kaine/Scarlet Spidey - who is known for being stronger than Peter. This is a MAJOR stomp.

Kraven for sure.

Kraven, his healing factor will keep him fighting.

Bane's advantage is his strength and even then it's not a particularly large one. Kraven on the other hand is faster, more durable, more skilled and has an impressive set of equipment so I don't think a case can be made for him losing.

Kraven due to poison darts and spears.

The guy who thrashed Batman is less skilled than the guy who can be hardly be a match to Spidey?

Bane gets trashed considering his more recent showings, though to be fair I think he did dominate Jason and Tim. That still isn't enough though.

@llehdevil: Yes, I think Kraven's more skilled than New 52 Bane. I don't think you can say X can beat Y therefore they have more knowledge in hand-to-hand combat than A who can't even beat B, that doesn't make sense. Kraven has shown on numerous occasions that he has a good understanding of nerve strikes which he's able to perform on opponents like Beast whereas Bane just seems to punch things. Kraven's skills also means he's able to do things like dislocate Spiderman's arm despite Peter being much stronger than himself.

@thedandyman: Very interesting. If you don't mind can you tell me which issue Bane used pressure points? It's one of those things where I have to see to believe. :)

@llehdevil: Sorry if I wasn't clear, by "Bane just seems to punch things" I literally mean he just uses Hulk smash-style attacks rather than hitting pressure points. Like this:

And this:

And this:

Granted he's pretty impressive at punching things but they're more strength-based feats than skilled ones. You were right to be sceptical of New 52 Bane using pressure points ;), the day that happens is the day he becomes a whole lot bigger a challenge for Batman.

@thedandyman: OH MY GAWWWD Sorry, I totally screwed up my post, I meant to say when did Kraven use pressure points lol.. ;D Also you're completely right, Kraven is more skilled in comparison to New-52 Bane, idk about Post-Crisis.

@llehdevil: No worries, it's 1:30 in the morning over here so I'm probably gonna start getting all confused with my posts from tiredness as well. The first instance is in his debut appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #15 where he numbs Spiderman's shoulder, the next I believe comes from West Coast Avengers #3 where he paralyses Tigra's whole body and the third in X-Men: The Hidden Years #17 where he numbs Beast's arm. There may be other examples but these are the ones most often given.

And I want to say that Kraven is more skilled than post-crisis Bane too but that may be because Bane uses less flashy styles like boxing rather than these nerve strike based moves.

@thedandyman: Get your sleep smart man! And thanks for the citations dude, agreed with the last part you said.

He also snapped his son Vladimir's neck with one hand without even trying, and this was after his physicals were amped due to some mutation that turned him into some lion manbeast.

You mean his son Vlad was amped?

Yessir

@nima_: Cool, thanks for the info!

Did he job against anyone?

Killer Croc and Batman.
