Marvel

Currently owned by the Walt Disney Company, Marvel is one of the "Big Two" comic publishers along with DC Comics.
best hand-to-hand human combatants in the whole marvel universe?
Best at H2H if Powerless
Taskmaster (if we are saying that he has all his memories) Echo (if memories intact)
Finesse (if memories intact)
Danger (if memories downloaded into human body)
Ultron (if memories downloaded into human body)
Vision (if memories downloaded into human body)
Jocasta (if memories downloaded into human body)
Galactus (if memories and knowledge downloaded into human body)
Bullseye is way up there. He can go toe to toe with Daredevil and Elektra simultaneously, and even Taskmaster is afraid of him.
i'm not that familiar with taskmaster, mantis, gamora, midnight sun, or champion...have they all had extensive training, or are they just natural-born fighters?
i also thought about moon knight as a maybe, but i don't know enough about him to judge his fighting chops.
" no powers, no weapons, nothing but training and natural ability...this is my list so far:Iron Fist is a maybe? You don't even have to know anything about him to know he's top notch.His name is Iron Fist.His whole character is built around martial arts.

All of the characters you named are skilled fighters though.
Don't be so humble. Post the link to that awesome list you made a few months ago.
lol Was Iron Fist really in the "maybe" category? It's Iron Fist, maybe Shang Chi. 1a and 1b.
No mention of the Prince of Orphans?!?! He's up there with them I think. Elektra is just below them.
it would be awesome if all of these guys got de-powered then got sent into some gladiator-style arena to battle it out...

" Shang chi is the best. Take the powers and enhancements away from the others and he wins 10/10. "I like how people think things like this when Shang Chi has never done nothing to prove this.
iron fist and shang chi are the top two. prince of orphans is up there too, and wolverine. without powers it's probably between iron fist and shang chi. shang chi is great and iron fist is the master of martial arts, including off world ones.
" @CaptainJustice said:" Shang chi is the best. Take the powers and enhancements away from the others and he wins 10/10. "I like how people think things like this when Shang Chi has never done nothing to prove this. "
He has done plenty to prove it. He has fought many super-powered foes and enormous wild animals and top-tier martial artists toe to toe without any powers or enhancements and won most of the time.

These "street-levelers" did these things with enhancements and/or powers and/or weapons/gadgets. Shang chi did it with Kung Fu only. Shang chi does not have any enhancements only Kung Fu skill and training.
Wait prodigy would up there, thanks to the stepford girls Cindee, bimbo and Blondy, he know every thing of all the people he came in contact with, and that means he would be crazy h2h

Wait, what "enhancments" does Shang-Chi have?
As for a shot list *not in any order, or complete just off the top of my head*;
Shang-Chi, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Punisher, Steve Rogers, Elektra, Bullseye, Iron Fist, Black Panther (T'Challa), *top of head is now empty.......*
The use of chi allowing him to perform superhuman feats.Same as Iron Fist." @Vance Astro: Wait, what "enhancments" does Shang-Chi have?

When he uses his chi, it is no where close to Iron Fists, it's not so "mystical". Even with out that, they are still two of the top fighters in the M.U.
No...Iron Fist is a top martial artist.Shang Chi is not.His chi feats are nowhere near Iron Fists but his physical strength feats (which he's done with the use of chi) are above that of most street levelers.Unlike Shang Chi though Iron Fist actually has the SHOWINGS to back up his position in the top tier.Shang Chi has done nothing." @Vance Astro: When he uses his chi, it is no where close to Iron Fists, it's not so "mystical".

Besides being "The Master of Kung-Fu", your right, Shang is low on feats to compare with the big boys cause he's always been either a second tier ,or lower, character. And when he was up there in his own series, he was more grounded than your typical hero fare.
Doesn't take away the fact he is one of the best h2h fighters, you put him in the ring with other de-powered characters and he could defeat them.
He's not depowered though and he's not just a regular human combatant so how is that in anyway fair to use that in a comparison? People keep trying to put him on a pedestal like other human characters have advantages that he doesn't have and nobody takes the same things into account when they speak of other skilled street levelers.You don't have to figure what most skilled street levelers would do against characters if they were "depowered" because they get their wins regardless of the other characters advantages." @Vance Astro: Besides being "The Master of Kung-Fu", your right, Shang is low on feats to compare with the big boys cause he's always been either a second tier ,or lower, character.

For this thread, everyone is depowered (says so in the OP), and IMO, Shang deserves to be on it. You can argue if you want, but he's up there with the rest.

"What I am saying is skills have nothing to do with powers.If you were going to prove that Daredevil,Captain America,Iron Fist,Elektra,Black Widow,Wolverine etc. were good fighters you would have to mention instances where they used "powers or enhancements" but that doesn't take away their skill.If you take away Wolverine's healing factor..you think Shang Chi would have a better chance of beating him? Wolverine has already beaten him without using it.
Fat Cobra - He really knows how to use leverage and his weight, for a great ratio of power to speed effectiveness.
Hercules - He approaches fights with a light heart but heavy fists, he created a pretty cool fighting style as well.
Davos - Like an angrier less skilled Iron Fist. When fighting ten or more ninja's, anger can be an asset rather than the impediment it would be against a guy like Iron Fist. I give him points for that.
Random Kree guy from a cave on a Skrull World. - You did say whole of Marvel. This guy has no feats yet, hell, he doesn't even have a name, or appearance in a comic, but he has spent 200 years learning a forbidden Skrull joint Kree fight style, that is almost infallible mainly due to him being dropped on his head, when he was 2, developing an injury that has developed the uh fight part of his uh brain to levels never seen anywhere else... ever...

Why would I have to do this (bold) if I'm talking about their fighting prowress? I think even without his senses (give him his sight back), witch is his biggest advantage in a fight, DD is still a great fighter. I did not say Shang was unbeatable, I said he belongs on the list of best fighters in Marvel.

" @Vitality said:Get'm Vance!" Steve Rogers does not deserve to be on this list. "-_- "
She was gutted and left for dead naked in the desert and still lives to tell the story! "This doesn't make her a great fighter but I do agree she's very good.

I don't understand how it is false.
His strength, speed, agility...basically all his physical/natural attributes are increased by the serum. Which means it's not his natural ability.
How is that false?

You're correct...I do not read his comics.
For some reason...I thought he was a skinny little kid before he was in the super soldier program.
