boosh!

the challenger arrives!

ok, let's look at the match-ups.
 
Dane vs Power NeXus:
Spidey/Karnak/Scorpion vs Maverick/Bullseye. The problem is, there isn't really anything you can do to hurt me. Vibranium Suit and Impact Absorption means that the physical pain you're throwing at me just turns into power for me. Scorpion's suit's durability is significant but you're in serious danger. Maverick's concussive/heat blasts have been used to melt bullets in mid air and thats without Bullseye's aim. Spidey's agility probably isn't enough to avoid Bullseye and I could shoot you in the eyes with my wrist guns, blast your away with my energy blasts or grab your face with my acidic touch. Pretty bad news all round.
 
Dane vs Retnex:
Nightcrawler/Batman/Prowler vs Maverick/Bullseye. Similar problem here, I don't think there is really anything in your arsenal that can hurt me. Concussive blasts will be absorbed by vibranium, darts will just bounce off. Maverick's suit is air-tight and has a few minutes supply of oxygen so gas canisters won't be much help. Claws are made of steel, which won't rend vibranium. Batman's skills and Nightcrawler's powers are both formidable. The problem being, they've both been tagged easily by guys worse than Bullseye. Retnex might give me a run around with his teleporting but he's not that skilled with it, it's unlikely he can teleport in speed blitzes at this stage. With Bullseye's aim I'd give myself a very good chance of blasting him with my wrist guns and ending him.
 
k4tzm4n vs Power NeXus:
Spidey/Karnak/Scorpion vs Daredevil/Lady Shiva. Honestly, he just gets cut in half. Spider-Man isn't too fast for DD or Lady Shiva to tag and this is pretty much suicide against k4tzm4n unarmed.
 
k4tzm4n vs Retnex:
Nightcrawler/Batman/Prowler vs Daredevil/Lady Shiva. Probably equally suicidal. DD's senses should allow k4tz to predict any of your teleports and run you through with the M-Blade.
 
Apart from that, with DD's senses we should know where you are at all times. I see plenty of rooftops in that map and we should have trouble getting the drop on you. Lady Shiva's stealth skills for k4tz and being scentless and soundless with Bullseye's assassination skills for me. We should get the drop on your pretty good. Power NeXus might have a Spider-Sense to warn him but Retnex doesn't.

The problem is, there isn't really anything you can do to hurt me. Vibranium Suit and Impact Absorption means that the physical pain you're throwing at me just turns into power for me. 

 
This is where Karnak's skills can come into play. I just have to use the same strategy people use against Strong Guy or Sebastian Shaw. Karnak doesn't rely on brute force for beating opponents, but rather light hits in the perfect spots. If I don't hit you hard, you won't be able to absorb much kinetic energy to use against me. And even people with healing factors have been taken down by nerve strikes and hits to weak spots. 
 
 
I can't really disagree with anything about your 'Dane vs Retnex' argument.
 
 
k4tzm4n vs Power NeXus 
 
k4tz's weapon can cut me in half, but only if he can reach me. Scorpion's tail has a very large length advantage over the Muramasa blade, and can be moved at such speed that even Spider-Man had trouble dodging it. I can hit k4tzm4n before he can hit me.   

Spider-Man isn't too fast for DD or Lady Shiva to tag 

 
Spider-Man gets tagged by martial artist types only because he's untrained and somewhat stupid in comparison, and he can't attack them if he's more than an arm's length away. In this scenario, I have all of Spider-Man's speed, agility, spider-sense, ect, as well as the martial arts skill of Karnak (who has been training nearly his entire life) and a weapon that allows me to strike at blinding speed from at least 10 feet away, and is powerful enough to kill an unprotected human in one hit.
 
 
k4tzm4n vs Retnex 
  

DD's senses should allow k4tz to predict any of your teleports and run you through with the M-Blade.

What makes you think Retnex is going to be 'porting anywhere within melee range? Prowler's suit gives him significant long-range weaponry, and k4tzm4n can't do crap from long-range, unless he wants to try to throw the Muramasa Blade away (not advisable). He has no superhuman durability, no healing factor, no armor. One good hit from an explosive dart will take him out easily.

rawr?

"rawr?"

@Dane: 

I'm wearing Vibranium head to toe. The suit is even air tight. Unless you're scratching your fingernails against the grain there is nothing you can do to hurt me. While you're trying to close that range I'll be blasting your eyes out with Bullseye's aim. Getting in melee range means I can coat you in an acid that burns through anything. 

Yeah, well....

umm...

F***. 
 
I've got no good argument for that.  
 

When was the last time Lady Shiva got taken down by a batarang? Scorpion's tail can be cut in half as easily as any other part of him. 

 
So k4tzm4n is going to cut the tail in half as it's already coming at him at lethal speed? 
Any way I imagine that happening, it seems to be either ineffective, impossible for someone of human speed to do, or both. 
If I do just a simple scorpion-like strike (tail comes straight forward and hits with the tip like a battering ram), the only way k4tzm4n could survive it would be to just get the heck out of the way (and since even Spider-Man has trouble dodging it, I don't think k4tz could). Using the sword to try to slice it down the middle wouldn't do anything. He'd still have two halves of a tail coming at him at lethal speed.  
 

You're not up against an unprotected human and the fact that Karnak's skills won't make you faster. Spider-Man gets tagged because even with his speed and agility he isn't unhittable. Karnak may be able to see weaknesses but Lady Shiva can see what attacks you're going to make before you make them. What good is that tail strike when he can see it coming and counter with the M-Blade? 

 
Spider-Man's speed and agility is vastly superior to that of any human. He should be able to be nearly unhittable. He just remains hittable because he's undisciplined, untrained, and generally stupid in martial arts.   
 

Prowler's suit doesn't give him anything he could use to take down Lady Shiva. There's plenty of cover in that map, if you tried to turtle him he could just hide.

 
Hide from a teleporter? Not likely. Retnex can follow him anywhere he goes, but stay at just enough of a distance that k4tzm4n can't hit back.  
 
 

If Retnex is  busy fighting him then it's me vs you, since you have no ranged attacks, all I'd have to do is blast you away, hit him in the head with a plasma shot from my wrist guns and then it's 2v1. 

 
And, for that reason, I think I must concede this battle. While I am of the opinion that both myself and Retnex are capable of beating k4tzm4n, I can not see how either of us would be able to beat you without a very great deal of luck.
 
 

I realize this isn't my debate but just a few comments. 
 
All things have weak points even Vibranium weave suits. If Karnak can bring down a solid concrete wall with a couple of unaided hits to weak points, Prowler's claws should be able to target weakpoints in the weave and pierce it successfully. 
 
Lady Shiva hasn't come upon someone with a prehensile tail attack as quick and strong as Scorpion's tail. Also her powers work by reading the movements of people like how most people point their feet in the direction they intend to go. The tail would have no real body movement associated with it beyond maybe bracing for launch so it would be difficult for her skills to predict. 
 
I still believe that Dane's team would win but just that those points aren't necessarily valid.

It is, pity I haven't been challenged yet. 
 
I wasn't suggesting that you couldn't stop him before he got into range but that if he did get in range he could bypass your armor. 
 
Lady Shiva has never encountered someone with a tail like Scorpion's so she wouldn't know what signs to look for immediately. Upon a second strike, she may be capable but without that knowledge before hand the tail would still be a viable means of attack. Now the addition of Daredevil's powers almost make Lady Shiva's skills unnecessary.
