The Spider-Man What if version, which the whole pre-cog danger sense vs the copying Mimic from the Exiles. Who will win? Mimic has the following persons powers: Wolverine, Colossus, Northstar, Beast, Cyclops. The fight will take place in an abandoned street, so no worries for innocent bystanders. They fight in character!
What if Spider-Man vs Exiles Mimic
Couldn't he just swap Beast's powers for Spider-man's powers including his Danger Sense? Exiles Mimic is pretty powerful. I don't think any version of Spider-Man could take even Exiles Mimic.
Spider-Man
not only he is much stronger than classic (not in physical force),Mimic can only absorb mutant powers
also,even if he could absorb Spider-Man's powers,he doesnt have the experience to use then to the extant What-If? Spider-Man can

"You're absolutely right, and i have also read the What If myself =) I even think Spider-Man might be a better hand to hand combatant, although Mimic has trained a lot with the X-Men before he joined the Exiles. I think it's a tough fight to call to be honest, that's why i made it :p.
There's also the speed advantage Mimic has with the powers of Northstar. It's one thing knowing that the attack will come, it's another however to be able to respond to it in time. And I don't remember the What If spidey ever fighting speedster so i'm not sure how he'll react to that. But in order for Mimic to use his superior speed he'll also has to lose the armor that
Colossus's powers give him or he'll be slowed down too much.
Excuse me then, for I thought you had not.You're absolutely right, and i have also read the What If myself =) "
I even think Spider-Man might be a better hand to hand combatant, although Mimic has trained a lot with the X-Men before he joined the Exiles.
I do not think his fighting skills can be appropriately judged for the sole reason that it was the combination of skill and his vastly upgraded spider sense that turned him into such a deadly foe. It's fair to assume he is far above the regular version, but how well would he fare against established fighters of the MU, we can only speculate.

Speed could be a dangerous asset, indeed. I am not familiar with this version of Mimic, but he does sound lethal. Could he achieve full, or merely a portion of Northstar's speed? Spider-man has reacted to speedsters in the past, but it depends upon the circumstances. Seeing that Mimic possesses Colossus' strength, he could overwhelm Spider-man with his punches, even though Spidey has shown a high level of durability against vastly superior characters, strength wise. But that could be averted seeing that, as you said, Mimic's speed would decrease greatly by using Colossus armoured form.
And you are correct, Spider-man did not fight any speedsters in that What If?
" Excuse me then, for I thought you had not.No problem! =)

" Speed could be a dangerous asset, indeed. I am not familiar with this version of Mimic, but he does sound lethal.

Good to see that we are in agreement about these.

It would hurt him, but Spider-man takes hits from people of that range regularly. It won't knock him out.

The problem with this is that unless Mimic is aware that this version of Spider-man will know what he'll do before he does it, I doubt if he would go forth with a speed attack right from the go. Giving Spider-man the opening to use his spider sense would enable him to anticipate any immediate offensive tactics from that point on.

True, Mimic will most likely start of in his armoured form with his claws and optic beams seeing as that's pretty much always his tactic at first. If he notices that doesn't work he will switch tactics from that point on. As i said before, he's quite creative with his powers. But as long as Mimic stays in his armoured form I can't see how Spider-Man will hurt him, Mimic has taken punches from an Alternate Hulk/Namor before who seemed powerwise quite similar to their 616 counterparts.

Surely.
Mimic effectively won't tire seeing as he has Wolverine's and Colossus's powers.
I take it he can use powers inadvertedly then? Because Wolverine's healing factor is not a consciously controlled power.
Colossus does not require sustaining while in organic steel mode, but Mimic will not be in that form for the entirety of the fight. And despite that, since Mimic only copies every power but has 50% of the full ability of the original, his healing factor will be good, but not equal to Logan's, and accordingly, his durability while in armour form won't be equal to Colossus. Most importantly, the abilities he will copy from Spider-man will be decreased by 50%, as well.
So he can keep it up for quite some time. If Spider-Man can't take out Mimic he will eventually tire out.
Based on the afore mentioned, it won't be that easy. Spider-man has kept fighting Morlun while sleepless and exhausted for two days, he can give his all, if needed (the sol reason I use something the 616 version of Spider-man did is because they are identical, physically speaking, and Spider-man had not been enhanced in his original fight with Morlun by the Queen incident).
Also, he does have conscious control over his blasts, unlike Cyclops, I take it?
As i said before, he's quite creative with his powers. But as long as Mimic stays in his armoured form I can't see how Spider-Man will hurt him, Mimic has taken punches from an Alternate Hulk/Namor before who seemed powerwise quite similar to their 616 counterparts.
You could always give him adamantium bullets to change that, but it would probably tip the balance too much.
I'm torn so far, truth be told.
Are the exiles characters trained to kill? I can imagine Mimic would hesitate before going for the kill, something "What if Spider-Man" would easily overcome.
"I take it he can use powers inadvertedly then? Because Wolverine's healing factor is not a consciously controlled power.Yes, he can. He heals all the time similar to Wolverine. It was the same when he took Deadpools healing, his body was in a constant state of healing, thus also receiving the scars that deadpool has.
Colossus does not require sustaining while in organic steel mode, but Mimic will not be in that form for the entirety of the fight. And despite that, since Mimic only copies every power but has 50% of the full ability of the original, his healing factor will be good, but not equal to Logan's, and accordingly, his durability while in armour form won't be equal to Colossus. Most importantly, the abilities he will copy from Spider-man will be decreased by 50%, as well.
If he notices his tactics aren't working against Spidey and he feels a tactic without his armoured form is better he will not hesitate to shift out. But his healing will continue nonetheless, so he will still outlast Spider-Man in pure stamina. And his healing factor is indeed 50% of that of Wolverine. I'm not sure about the durability but i do believe you're right. When Mimic was in a fight with adamantium clawed wolverine he was cut. I don't believe regular 616 colussus would have been cut by him. Then again he did withstood a large explosion which did harm Namor. And yes, all powers he copies will be 50%.
"That's true. I have no doubt in my mind that Spider-Man can take a brutal beating and go on. But don't forget he has also been knocked out and defeated by much less. Right now you're picking out one of best feat involving stamina. Which in turn I could say that Mimic withstood a blast from an Alternate Phoenix or a large explosion as aforementioned and kept going.

In the beginning he had to use ruby glasses, but during the stories progress he had learned to control his optic blast to a high degree. Similar as to how Cyclops has used it with his visor.

As for the second point I agree completely that if Mimic should suspect that a certain tactic isn't working out he'll definetely change. I think one of the main points we need to consider is if he will be able to figure Spider-Man out in time?
" @Precise: Interesting. Well I could see Spiderman movin in quick, dodging optic blasts, and getting the neck snap real fast. "If Mimic is in his armoured form? He doesn't have the strength for it.

Concerning the Phoenix feat, it would again depend on if Mimic did it on his own healing power. Also, I can't help but point out that you asked for stamina, not durability, which your "knocked out and defeated" example falls under. The Phoenix example or the large explosion also fall under durability.
Thanks for the info, and I agree that the bullets would indeed change the stakes, and I enjoy the debate better this way.
Mimic. What is Spidey going to do to him? The only edge Spidey has is his danger sense. Even with that, how is he fast enough to avoid a series of attacks coming at half the speed of light? Spidey is fast, and has some of the best reflexes in comics, but no way can he avoid that kind of speed for very long. Mimic just grinds him down and wears him out. All he needs is just one hit with his claws or optic blast and its goodnight Spidey.

I don't think it's plausible for Colossus to survive a blast from the Phoenix, seeing that certain temperatures can liquefy his armoured form, Phoenix can achieve them, and Mimic is only at 50% of what Colossus is. Unless Phoenix did not strike at him with full (or anywhere near full) power.
And no problem.

Mimic is going to attack in his normal battle mode, after some time getting hit by Spider-Man and failing to hit him in return he's going to switch to speed blitz as he's going to realise that he can't hit Spider-Man any other way. We know that he can take the punishment while he decides what to do due to his fight with Namor. I see the only real problem with this being Spider-Man's sense, he'll know that Calvin is going to change form and surely it's got to be atleast a second while he shifts off the organic steel that he's going to be vulnerable.
If Spider-Man gets even one hit on Calvin after he turns off the steel and before he starts using his super quick flight I think Mimic might be toast. If Spider-Man doesn't take advantage of that opening he's probably going to be in trouble as even though he'll see it coming i don't think he has the reflexes to fight even half Northstar speed.
" @Morpheus_ said:You don't think Spider-Man can hurt him in organic steel form? Your rope-a-dope strategy could work if that is the case. Now that i think about it... you might be right. Even if he does hurt him in organic steel form we know from the Wolverine fight that he can heal while armored up so if it's only minor damage it could take awhile to put him down. In that time it is feasable that Spider-Man could get tired and thus hittable.Same here, only for me the deciding factor is his durability. Nice debate though! Thanks =) And Baldy as well.

How fast would Spider-Man get tired you think? Do you think Calvin's durability and healing factor would give him enough staying power to last that long?
" @Precise said:That last part is what i'm not sure of. If Spidey gets tired Mimic can switch to his normal form and speedblitz him without too much trouble. He can tire him by shooting optic blasts at him making him dodge it. If he gets tired he can just unleash a widespread optic beam to take him out as well. But Spider-Man does have amazing willpower and stamina so if it works it would take a pretty long time." @Morpheus_ said:You don't think Spider-Man can hurt him in organic steel form?

" @Baldy said:Yeah I think while Mimic will no doubt outlast Spider-Man I don't think his durability will last the length of time it will no doubt take.

I think one thing we can all agree on though is that if he goes into speed blitz mode Spider-man is going down.
