1000 people VS Captain America

1000 average people unarmed, versus Captain America without his shield. They are locked in a building that is 500 feet wide, 1000 feet long, and 100 feet high.

Who wins?

I think the 1000 will win eventually, but not without a long fight. ^^

Your point is...

I'm thinking Cap. Doesn't his serum keep him from getting tired by eliminating the acidic build-up?

I was about to say the same thing... LOL. Anyway, I think Cap would have it easier if he had his shield. Other than that, I don't think he could fully take out 1000 people at once. Maybe somewhere between 250 and 500...."

I know that Cap. would be much better with his shield, that is why I chose to have him not use it.

I agree that Cap. might be able to beat 250-500, but 1000 would be sure to overwhelm him.

Think of a giant dogpile. Like this picture, except like 50 times bigger.

He can still get tired after exerting himself at peak capacity for an hour.

LOl That's So Unfair For Cap America.

1000 people would just trample him very easily. He might take out the first few, but he would be overwhelmed quickly.

Which do you think he would die first of:

-The massive weight

or

-The lack of oxygen

Yeah. No way Cap is getting out of that...

he would be crushed.

The weight would kill him before the loss of oxygen would. Death from loss of oxygen is a slow process.

"White Mage says:

Good Lord. "

I know, isn't it insane?

mantoid says:

"White Mage says:

Your point is..."

I think it more likely that he would tire out than that he would be overwhelmed by them. Only so many can get near him at a time, as the others would be in the way. As normal people, he only has to hit them once and they will go down, so he would know to place his shots carefully so as not to tire himself out. His reaction time is so far above a normal person that he is moving like a blur and sometimes its said that he can move faster than another person can see. He moves too quickly to get caught in a dogpile.

Actually, thinking more about it, he would probably use them against each other. Dodge a punch here, making that hit someone else. They wouldn't be as devastating as his hits, but they would keep down the number of adversaries he has to pay attention to at any given time. Being untrained fighters, he doesn't need to do much to make them get in each other's way.

He can grab one person and throw them into the others, knocking the crowd back, to give himself more room. He can use his acrobatic ability to flip from one person's shoulders and land on someone else's head.

I think if he conserved his energy that he could win this fight. In fact I find it more likely that he would win it then that he would lose. The only chance the 1000 really has is if he gets tired, but that would take probably hours as he conserves energy and I dont think 1000 normal people could last hours against him.

LOL

I think Cap would be agile enough to avoid a dogpile and he wouldn't have to exert himself at peak capacity since he would be able to take out pretty much all of them with a single move, possibly using their force against them so he wouldn't have to exert himself so much.

mantoid says:

"Do you know how much 1000 people weigh? Say each person is 150 pounds, that is 150,000 pounds, or 75 tons."

So? Youre assuming that he stands there waiting while people who are probably around four times slower than he is all run up and jump on top of him. Why would he do that?

Post Deleted.

Do you know how much 1000 people weigh?

Say each person is 150 pounds, that is 150,000 pounds, or 75 tons.

you don't have to watch the whole thing (and it's in french), but I'm seeing the whole fight (save for the nunchakus) going a little bit like this.

It would be a flood of people, no matter what he tried to do, people would eventually tackle him, then the dogpile would begin.

mantoid says:

And why would he not just jump on top of them flipping from one person to the next? One normal person would get overwhelmed by a flood of people or if he was in a confined space, then a flood of people could overwhelm Captain America, but you made a huge building for a master acrobat to work in. He wouldn't need to stay in one place and let a flood of people overwhelm him.

I don't think it would be possible for them to dogpile him. He is strong enough to casually one-shot people while jumping 20 feet in the air to prevent dogpiles. It would be like trying to dogpile a polar bear that moves like a small monkey. It aint happening.

That is intense! Wow.

Oh, and that many people would be a benefit to him; as many of them would just get bulled over and trampled by the rest. So technically he would be fighting all 1000, just the ones that get close enough to catch an extremity to the face (or solar plexus, or knee cap, etc.)

Also, I'm not sure what's the principle is called but there's a thing about the larger the group the more exponential the possible chaos, meaning: He wouldn't have to do much - a simple push-off counter against an attacker could easily cause a domino effect that would, albeit momentarily, incapacitate half the crowd. A bum rush would work in his favor while a calculated assault would not. If they were all mind controlled by Doom or someone then he'd probably take out about 150-200 people before he goes down; but I can see him taking down all of them if they were just an angry mob.

Yes if they were all trained or controlled to act in unison, then he would have no chance, but 1000 normal people would get more in each others' way than in his."

But what if the people stood back, and huddled together. They form a plan and do it. What then?

thats far from realistic. No one in real life would be able to take on more than 2 opponents easily. Cap would get overwhelmed and destroyed.

If Cap had normal stats, maybe, but we are talking about someone who breaks steel. Cap is, as I said, effectively a polar bear who moves like a small monkey. Normal humans would suffer grizzly casualties even if he didn't use skill and just flailed wildly. When you combine his stats and skill, normal humans get slaughtered in large chunks.

mantoid says:

At some point they would think to do that, but remember that he can move at least four times faster than they can, and drop a person with one hit. He can launch an attack and take out four or five before they can respond to him. As bodies start piling up on the ground, they are more of an obstacle to the others than they are to Cap. Those who were still up would be tripping over bodies and slipping on blood for the rest of the fight. And the less they push him, the less tired he would get.

That is true, but with the bodies piling up, some people could fake it on the ground, and wait until Cap. came close. Then they could launch a surprise attack on him.

I'm just sayin . . .(^_^)

I think it is possible for cap to be able to keep some space between himself and the people, but pretty unlikely. I believe the the dogpile would eventually happen and then crush cap to death.

The weight in a dogpile would be displaced and spread out, so he wouldn't get crushed.

What if they were all Nazis?

mantoid says:

"That is true, but with the bodies piling up, some people could fake it on the ground, and wait until Cap. came close. Then they could launch a surprise attack on him."

Sure but with his experience and his reaction time it is unlikely that they would get the drop on him. But even if they could, he's been hit by considerably stronger than an average strength individual and would shake off whatever they did while knocking them out with one attack.

We haven't even gone into how he can instantly strategize against even the toughest and most skilled opponents. He could easily use anything in that building, including the piling up bodies, walls, pools of blood, etc. to his advantage and once that first person who was faking being unconscious failed, he would be on the look out for that. If you described the building beyond your first post I missed it, but the more that is in that building the better for him. He can create bottlenecks that they would find difficult to get around or through just by piling up bodies in a doorway, he can smash through walls when they have to go around from room to room, he can keep them from getting to him in force by staying in an area where there is a bottleneck and only have to face a small number of them at any one time.

But even if it's just an open warehouse, that favors him with all of the things I said he could do earlier. Their only chance is that they can keep him active enough, long enough to tire to the degree that their slow reaction time, strength, durability, etc. is not as much of a detriment as it is normally. But they would really need to be coordinated to do that to him and normally people dont just come together and coordinate themselves in that fashion.

One normal person launching a surprise attack on Captain America wouldn't do that much...I could launch a surprise attack on an Ultimate Fighter, and might even hit him once or twice, and then he'd kill me.

My mind is fading...

You win!

wow umm captian America would take out alot of people but eventually he might get tired and evade the situation or get dog piled on but i think he would take out moe than half the people

but if you and 3 friends attacked him you would beat him easily. You just can't take on multiple opponents and win.

Being a Nazi doesn't make one suicidal.

The only reason athletes dogpile is that they know they're only ending up with 8 to 10 people on them. If I was one of the thousand, and Cap was ready for us, I would not be the first one to jump on him when 1000 people were going to dogpile him.

Maybe you can't take multiple opponents, but I have done so before and I've seen it happen plenty of times. It depends on the number of people you're fighting at one time. I once got into a fight at a club, and held off three dudes myself before my homeboys came to help. They all came at me and I knocked out one of them with one hit, and handled the other two effectively... Fighting one person is easier, but fighting two or three is not as difficult as it may seem. You just have to know how to assess the situation.
