Good 'fight' was thinking of posting myself. Gorgon would merc the hell out of Midnighter. He would know his movements before he does and Gorgon moves at the speed of thought, so he can cope if not outclass Midnighter there.

Don't forget, the Midnighter can move at superspeeds fro brief moments.

In the Authority comic, Regis beat Midnighter and he had enahnced stats but also telepthy.
As long as Gorgon's telepathy is advanaced enough to fully read a person's mind, then he un theory overcome the Midnighter's tactical computer and plan his attack based on the information he is getting from Midnighters head.

From what I have read, Gorgon telepathy allows him to do what Midnighter does. I didn't get any indication that he could read minds to the level of Emma for example.

He actually could. I do have some questions though. His telepathy seems undefined. If he could read the minds of his enemies, how was Wolverine able to trick him into turning himself to stone? Wouldn't he have seen that coming since Wolverine was planning on doing it, or am I missing something? Why wouldn't Midnighter's ability be able to anticipate Gorgon's psychic abilities and make plans on that? (Regis beat him with the help of TP, but Regis was also way out of his league and I don't think someone on Wolverine's level is, but then again, I don't know the Gorgon.) What is the extent of his teleportation? I see it listed on a few sources but not described. (I don't think it would matter too much if Midnighter can predict where he reappears, but I still would like to know.) I kind of think Midnighter could turn him to stone too with any of the metal weapons he carries on himself. 


Unrelated: I always think of Gorgon and Morlun together (or against each other?). Maybe it's the skin tone, nice clothes and long black hair.

That Wolverine point was good, but it may be just a plot gimmick. U know how writers are. The telepathy is part of his abilities though. It's how he beat Elektra without effort.

The Beserker rage thing/Weapon X training/Living in a house of telepaths might be the reason Wolverine managed to give Gorgon the alley oop.

If he can't fool Gorgon into looking into his own reflection how does he achieve this? Also who says he will be that close? He doesn't even need to use his stoney stare, he is perfectly capable of battering Midnighter.

a billion scenarios wont help you when you have to settle on a single attack to execute........ a mind reader like gorgon can still attack and counter... this BS ability has gotten out of hand.  their are numerous beings with a similar ability with on board computer tech with probable attacks  counter adaptive upgrade attacks, files that have recorded every style on the planet and ppl... is is just as pointless as midnighter its BS and blown out of proportion... com systems that regulate the most efficient and optimal attack angle and response... midnighters ability is nothing special and ppl need to stop over exaggerating it... i blame one main person of this on this board for what he has ppl thinking about midnighter.

Gorgon has this one in the bag, His combat abilities are enough to take down Midnighter, his ability to turn ppl into stone wouldn't even come into play.  As far as MN tricking him into seeing his own reflection, thats abit difficult when Gorgon wears a blindfold.

Gorgon is good but his only edge is limited, Telepath and Stone stare... he should do it and kill MN quick (no fooling around with MN unless you are invulnerable)

I wouldn't say that. He has a healthy degree of invulnerability/immortality, super strength, incredible speed and martial arts prowess that overhwelmed Wolverine and Elektra.

@Logic Mark III: Speed feats are not that impressive, but when mixed with stealth creates the impression of hyperbole. He overwhelms them due to his telepathy as the main factor

Assume Midnighter can use door, couldn't he just cut the guy in half with it or teleport him into outerspace? Against a dangerous opponent, I don't think Midnighter would be playing around like with his usual opponents.

Was a thread not long ago that saw CB arguing Midnighter could beat both the Gorgon and Deathstroke at once if memory serves. Don't think the argument would change drastically much in a one on one.

That, and Gorgon was polluted by the whole Dark Avengers fiasco. Took some shine off his polish.

I think Citizenbane almost had a heart attack when he saw Daredevil KO Gorgon.

So...what exactly are you getting out of quoting a year old post from someone who not only is wrong, not only hasn't posted on this site in a year [thank god] but is also a notorious Marvel fanboy who simply hates Midnighter and knows little about the character?

On top of that I'm willing to bet anything that you've never read a comic with Midnighter or Gorgon in it.

That was Buckshot's gig. The walls of text were enormous.

I think Gorgon would do better against Midnighter than people like Wolverine or Deathstroke, but the more showings a character gets the easier it becomes to argue against them. I could have argued that Nemesis would beat Midnighter after her introductory series, since she could react to and one-shot a rushing Majestic among other things, but then she gets feats against other people that slowly move her down a notch or two. Gorgon's the same case, and I'm not even talking about that Daredevil kick, his fight with Phobos, though awesome, does work against him: Phobos is a godly kid, but I can't really argue that he's on Midnighter's level.
