As cool as Midnighter is, I just cannot believe he could take down all of the Team. Spider-man, Cap and Wolverine would likely give him a lot of trouble. Daredevil and Beast would just be the icing on the cake to further ensure the victory. I don't know Midnighters exact strength level, but I don't remember seeing anything that would put him on a level to be able to match all of the Team, but I could very well be wrong. He would probably do a lot better if he had Apollo to back him up if you know what I am saying.

@RudeBomberBoy01: The movie is great. The fencing scene between Hou and the Spaniard at the end though is pure art. The swordplay is simply magnificently beautiful. I wish that scene would have been at least 10 minutes but alas one can only dream.

Every style of Kung-Fu attempts to predict and counter your opponent, however Wing-Chun is designed more to counter quickly than to counter powerfully. One must remember that it was invented by a woman so it places a much lower emphasis on power than some other styles. Other things I don't like about Wing-Chun is a lot of the time they seem to carry their center of gravity too high as well as move in too linear a fashion, though this may just be a problem with the practitioners I have seen as opposed to the art as a whole. Personally I think Wing-Chun is like a less effective method of western boxing whose only saving grace is that it also incorporates kicks (albeit tends to under utilize them). That is just my personal opinion though.

@RudeBomberBoy01: It said Movie versions so based on what I knew of them I just gave Hou the win due to the vastly superior strength feats. Also as someone who has studied Kung-Fu for numerous years I am always critical of how Wing-Chun is so highly portrayed. It looks flashy and fast but most of it's stances lack mobility and can't be used to deliver as powerful strikes, however machine gun punching looks good so it gets to the screens.

Surely you have seen the scene where Hou smashes the 30cm thick wooden column in his school with one puch, and the scene where he punches a guy so hard that his fist practically goes through him? I hope I did not spoil anything. If you would care to remind me since I have not seen Ip Man in a while, what feats does he have to equal that level of strength?

it is 37 minutes into the first video, the column smashing that is.

Not sure which version you are watching but if I may include a deleted scene from the directors cut showcasing the durability of Hou Younjia.

Hou Younjia would win all three in my opinion. The movie version of him has better strength feats and he is about equal in speed to Ip Man. I would say Round 1 is very close with Hou Younjia winning 6/10. Round 2 is when Hou Younjia has the opportunity to really shine as he would not need to limit himself to non-lethal strikes, so 7/10 for Round 2. Ip Man does not have anywhere the same weapon feats as Hou Younjia and so most likely loses Round 3, 9/10 times. By the way Fearless is one of my top ten favorite movies of all time.

Dr. Doom

Doomsday

Imperiex

Darkseid

Thanos

Sentry

I think all these folk are below Galactus if only by a small margin. I was going to use Golden Superman but had to use Sentry instead because I thought Golden Superman is likely too powerful.

He is a ten year old, HUMAN kid. He is written like he has super strength or something as he beats opponents that are way out of his league. But most of all, and this applies to all Robins. I do not like the damn Robins, can't we get a more solo Batman for a little. Why this endless McBat franchise junk..... one can only dream. I will only like him once he dies and is not resurrected or gets his own title and goes as far away from Gotham as possible, and hopefully takes whoever is going to be the next boy wonder with him.

I have never shot a Rhino before, would any gun-nuts on the site like to elaborate on how well a .50 round would do against a Rhino? If the gun could pierce its skin and bone I would give myself the win 9/10, however If the gun is incapable of inflicting mortal wounds on the Rhino I am most likely at a loss.

47 would win, I will admit I am a little biased but there is a difference between a highly trained human and a biological creation meant only for killing. 47's ability to tank bullets and bullets is considered canon and he is definitely no slouch in hand to hand combat. His accuracy is perfect, He never misses a shot and is only limited by the inherent mechanical inefficiencies of whatever weapon he is using. In the case of his custom .45 Silverballers that is virtually none. He never tires and is always thinking at all times as to what is the best way to tackle a situation.

The way I see this going down is that 47 and Frank shoot up most of guards, 47 sneaks off amid the confusion while Frank is distracted with finishing off the last of the guards. He then proceeds to kill Frank and any remaining guards before Frank has a chance to change strategy, I could see Frank pulling a few wins out as well with his top notch training but still...

7/10 for the worlds deadliest assassin.
