Who is the best martial artists among all of Sup Forums?

Karate Kid?

That guy from the future, karate kid

Batman has punked Karate Kid on at least one occasion.

Dick Dragon or Shang Chi

Correction; Batman has had writers arbitrarily make him able to punk Karate Kid on more then one occasion.
Because Batman can't do this.

Or this.

Karate Kid

This either. So yes; Karate Kid is best in DC's continuity.
When Batman wins the only actual reasons they give are "Reasons", as he rarely even does anything involving strategy or skill that would give him an advantage.

Pretty sure Groo is undefeated.
Even Conan couldn't kill him.

David Aja.
Tonci Zonjic
Kano
the Fiumara bros.
maybe Emma Rios?

they're the only ones who come to mind really, everyone else has really stiff looking fight scenes.

your mom on my dick.

Luther Strode is probably pretty high up there. He mastered the art of killing and acquired superhuman physical attributes, senses, a healing factor and some sort of spider-sense as a result. He is basically a what-if Spider-man was bitten by a radioactive murder.

remember that time Karate Kid killed an entire universe by sneezing?

Popeye after spinach

>mastered the art of killing
We'll see about that.

This is one of the most retarded characters ever created.

best martial artist? dunno

most entertaining martial artist? the badger

Pretty sure the best Sup Forums martial artist is Karate Kid.

This is the correct answer

Has Karate Kid ever fought Lady Shiva? I feel like she's the only person that can stand a chane against him combat-wise.

...

>Ctrl+F Karnak

NOTHING?!

MOTHERFUCKERS, ALL OF YOU!

Batman only won this one because of faglord black lightning.

...

> there has never been a kumite crossover event between DC's best fighters.

You'd think Chuck Dixon would have done that in the 90s or someone realize the goldmine in epic fights that would bring.

>maybe Emma Rios
Only with a sword. I don't think she trains in a non-bladed martial art, however she is a very capable fencer.

...

Nope, not yet. In all fairness though, we're talking about the mistress of all the martial arts in the world vs the master of all the martial arts in the universe. I love Shiva like life itself, but the most bullshit thing she ever did was either pic related or using Hokuto Shinken to kill and revive her daughter in a single night. Meanwhile, Val is punching asteroids and making earthquakes with his hands. It wouldn't be the longest fight ever is what I'm saying. They'd both probably love it and end up going for tea afterwards, though.

...

Also, haha! Fanart!

Y'know, that explains a lot about how good the fights in Pretty Deadly are. That cavalry saber vs butterfly swords one in vol 1 was fucking amazing.

fucking dc. such potential on this baller ass run

There's a reason he's the only Legion member without super powers.

How the hell does a wax on wax off regiment make you a good karate fighter?

MOTHER

FUCKING

KARNAK

...

...

...

...

Karnak is great but a large portion of his fighting ability is from being superhuman and being able to see the weakness in everything.

OH COME ON, LIKE YOU FUCKING MEAN IT

...

>Not wearing Dick's first costume
Why? Cannot hide the erection?

...

...

When the fuck has Batman ever beat up Karate Kid? All I remember is him losing and then Black Lightning saving him.

You just sound like you're reaching for a reason to bitch about Batman.

...

>Karnak has enhanced strength, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes as a result of his genetically superior Inhuman physiology. Unlike most Inhumans, he does not have superhuman powers as a result of exposure to the mutagenic Terrigen Mist, as he was never exposed to the Mist. Instead, Karnak has the extrasensory ability (achieved through meditation and intensive training) to perceive stress points, fracture planes, or weaknesses in objects or persons. He has complete voluntary control of most of his autonomic bodily functions. All striking surfaces of his body are extremely toughened. He is capable of shattering substances up to and including mild steel and rendering superhuman opponents unconscious by striking them.

The super strength, endurance, and durability I'll give you...

But the rest is fucking training.

Also all the other dudes on this list fight guys with that all the fucking time.

All this Karnak...

...

Karnak is a pussy compared to BP.

Let's see if we can't patch up a list. In no particular order...

Batman (Bat-Family in general)
Shang-chi
Ironfist
Daredevil
Karate Kid
Lady Shiva
Karnak

Hm, that's only 7...

Daughters of the Dragon?

We all still think that page was horseshit, yeah?

This is actually pretty cool. Usually these are mainly the dude striking poses while people are pretending to be hurt, but the artist depicted enough movement through panels to suggest otherwise.

The general consensus (even the writer's intention) is that the Surfer was letting BP think he had him at his mercy so he would talk freely. BP is knocked out on the next page and SS gets mad about it

Yes. Especially since the hold Black Panther is describing ANYONE could break out of if they tried hard enough.
Even if you make Surfee his pre-super strength days where he was physically weaker then The Thing and relied more on his blasts he could just squeeze T'Challa's arm and snap it in two with his fingers.

There ARE holds like BP is describing, but that certainly isn't one of them. That's a generic as fuck hammerlock hold which every cop on planet Earth is taught in basic training.

Step your surfer game up T'challa

diversity

Richard Dragon
Ben Turner (Bronze Tiger)
Cassandra Cain
Badger
EVERYONE in Infinite Kung-Fu
... Master Splinter?

>We'll see about that in 6 more months
fixed

Wrong. What's even funnier is the writer basically said people didn't like the page because they are racist.

Where does the Immortal Iron Fist stack on the list of Martial Masters?

Well he killed a dragon with his bare hands so... Pretty up there.

He severe the ankles of a giant effortlessly without using his Iron Fist so I would assume he is pretty high up there.

Honestly the top 10 is probably those that are capable of doing superhuman martial arts like Shang-Chi, Iron-fist, Karate Kid and etc. Guys like Batman, Captain America, Daredevil and etc. are a tier below them.

Wrestled to Submission. The K'un would keep the dragon alive and let it die of natural causes so that they could feed on its body for its chi and watch over the dragon egg it shits out at the end of its life cycle.

What comic is that from?

Iron-Fist

No duh. I mean what arc? What issue?

Yeah Karnak is Crazy in the skill factor

The immortal iron fist chapter 23 according to google

Thank you user-kai

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Prince of Orphans yet.

Because he is mostly just abusing his intangible power and has yet to shown capable of any other superhuman feat.

>"Read the scene again and this time pay attention. The Surfer allowed the Panther to "restrain" him in the hope of finding out what the FF was up to. A panel later, the Surfer's assistant blasts the Panther unconscious. The Surfer is irritated because he wanted the Panther to talk, which he thought he might do if the Panther believed he had the upper hand. Most of the people who bitch about this have only seen a scan of one page, or have poor reading comprehension skills."

Unless there's another response I'm not aware of racism was never brought up. That said it's a poorly conveyed scene in a run that wasn't all that great as a whole.

Kinda unrelated, but I was really hoping the reboot of Deadly Hands of Kung Fu would be good.

Wait.. not fighting in this ridiculous outfit? Or any of the Benes' designed suits?

I'd think Shredder is up there too given he just fought though lost. Batman in a heavily armored suit.

is she spinning a yugioh card

1 Karate Kid
2 Karnak
3 Shang Chi
4 Iron Fist
5 Cassandra Cain (the rest of the bat family is under Lady Shiva, everybody but Bruce is also probably under Black Canary pre-52)
6 Lady Shiva
...
20something Daredevil. He's good but not in this list good. Elektra is above him.

This one is harder because I haven't read much with Richard Dragon and Bronze Tiger.

Master Splinter is up there with Cassandra Cain and Lady Shiva. Batman acknowledges him in the crossover.

Is this about how it should go or is this considered more BP-wank?

Always bet on Vibranium.

Nah this.

Less BP wank and more Karnak anti-wank. Karnak literally never lands a hit on human heroes because it would be instant death. Look at his fight with Mantis, she got to punch him but said would win if it went on too long, and chose to toss widow here . Karnak never lands a hit again human heroes.
That being said I have no idea who would win between the two but I doubt BP would oneshot him the guy has take hits from much stronger people.

Who is the barefoot cutie?

That is her daughter Cassandra, an also equally talented martial artist.

Cassandra Cain, who was subjected to such intense training that the parts of her brain used for speech and reading and stuff was overwritten with a language of how to read an opponents moves.

She's more than a little badass in a fight.

>forgetting Champion of the Universe the canon best martial artists within Marvel.

Damain Wayne.
