Yuppers, that's what I said. Though even prior to his upgrade, it was stated that Black Panther was an enhanced human. As to what extent his upgrade goes to, he hasn't had many showings. In fact, the only one I can think of was New Avengers #1.

Good school books I read: Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Animal Farm, Around the World in 80 Days, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry

Bad school books I read: Frankenstein, Water Babies, Old Man & the Sea

Books I read in my own time: Goosebumps, Dune, Artemis Fowl, Number the Stars

Preach.

Well the guy in the center is the Ultimate Nick Fury. And in all fairness, the cinema-verse was inspired by the Ultimate universe.

The way I view it is this: if it's been done before, there's no need to rehash it. But I can tolerate it in some occasions.

In the case of Batman Begins, I didn't mind, because the Nolan Batman is meant to be a realistic deviation from Burton's classic Batman. He's a lot different, and the origin story was essentially the foundation for the entire movie - it was an origin movie. So I didn't mind so much, and I thought it was executed very well.

But for yet another reboot of the Batman franchise, and for Man of Steel for instance - I don't want to see another origin-heavy movie. Just cover the origin in the opening credits or via flashback, and leave the story free to explore other avenues.

Ultimate Nick Fury, easy.

Haha wow, this was a great read. Kudos to both on you - this battle was leagues ahead of the regular matchups we see on the forums, and you both went back-and-forth like pros. Fantastic debate, and props to both sides for maintaining civil throughout the discussion.

My vote goes to @higorm for the more convincing argument though.

Wow, Black Panther's popped up a lot in recent battles...

But yeah, this is a mismatch, pal. Black Panther is the genius king of the MU's most advanced nation, and an expert superhuman fighter who has served alongside the Avengers and possesses an arsenal of powerful gadgets made from the rarest metals.

Batwoman is an urban non-powered vigilante.

Sigh...every possible variation and stipulation of this debate has been done to death.

Batman is my #1 favorite fictional character ever, but the end result is still the same. Spider-Man wins in a random encounter. Batman stands a good chance of winning given prep time.

Haha, thanks a lot pal, I'm humbled. Yeah, that whole post was actually a rant that had been boiling inside me for quite some time now. When Mercy and Cold came out, I was a little miffed by the production and Kanye's random threats. Then when New God Flow dropped, I was like 'this might still work out'. I figured with the recent successes of MBDTF and Watch the Throne, Cruel Summer would be another Kanye classic.

.....well, we all know how that turned out. xD
