Iron fist Vs Backlash Vs Luke Cage

The battle starts in an abandoned factory, all three are on a mission to retrieve a stolen disk with valuable information on it. None of them have prep time, or morals.

CQC fight, win by KO or Death, usual equipment Backlash can use mist to evade, but cannot kill with it in this fight. No telepathy either, strictly H2H. Who wins?

@Cable_Extreme: Can Danny use Chi?

@Strider92: Yes, just like backlash can use his whips, and cage can use his 25 ton strength.

@Cable_Extreme: So this is just a random encounter rather than a pure H2H fight?

@Strider92: Well it is a random encounter but Backlash is a little depowered to where he cant use his mist form to kill or telepathy. And I want them to strictly fight using their best attribute such as his fist vs backlash's whips vs Luke cage's strength. So I say hand to hand because that is what they usually fight with.

@Strider92: I call it a hand to hand fight because they are fighting with an extension of their own power. They aren't wielding anything.

@Cable_Extreme: In that case:

Backlash>Iron Fist>Cage

Due to his whips Backlash has a much further reach than the other two meaning he can still inflict damage at a distance. Danny comes a close second due to his Chi and the fact that he is faster than Cage. Cage while strong doesn't have the speed or combat skill to match Danny and Marc and both of them have the ability to damage him despite his durability. Danny with Chi and Backlash with pisonics.

Using the phrase CQC(close quarters combat) might keep from the confusion about restrictions as far as powers go.

@MysteriousUsername: Okay, changing it now.

I think Iron Fist takes this if it is just H2H, Luke Cage is a good street fighter, but martial arts is on a whole other lever.

@Cole_Mercer: What about backlash? Where does he come along in your ranking? Before or after cage?

iron fist>backlash>Luke

pretty much.

Fist.

Backlash has a slight range advantage but Cage can Thunderclap and Danny can focus his Chi into blasts.Of the three Rand has the greatest Damage capability and he's the most skilled fighter.

@Shawnbaby: I agree with you about Rand's damage capacity being the best, but what puts Rand's training over Backlash who has had thousands of years to master his fighting style? If anything they are around even.

Iron Fist=Backlash>Luke Cage.

Feats. Danny has superior feats. Backlash should be the superior fighter with all his experience...but from what I've seen he isn't quite up to Danny's level

@Shawnbaby: Yeah, do you think that the experience difference is compensated by the range backlash has on Iron Fist? I also thought cage would do better lol.

Danny can focus his Chi into blasts if he wants and is easily agile enough to evade those whips long enough for him to get right up into Backlash's face. Whips are great for medium range...but much less effective up close. One on one Backlash might have a better chance against Danny but with Cage there as well...he can't really effectively use his whips. If he focuses too much on Danny...Cage can take him out...if he focuses on Cage...Danny will have him. Danny and Luke are much more likely to double team Backlash before going after each other.

If it were just physical damage...Cage would do better..but those whips are psionically charged. Cage isn't completely out of his depth though he can soak some of the damage for a time and if he connects with a full force hit...he can send both of them packing. Unfortunately he just doesn't have the skill or speed in H2H to reliably tag either one of them. His only real chance is to stagger them with a thunderclap and then quickly move in to finish them. As it stands the much greater speed and skill of the other two make this one a hard fight for Luke to win.

@Shawnbaby: Cage is mainly their to keep things interesting, though what if cage and backlash team up? I dont see a reason to think iron fist and cage would team up, there are a few possible combinations.

You don't see a reason they would team up? What about that they are Best Friends?

@Shawnbaby: Well if they are fighting each other, you think they didn't break up? lol

I didn't say they wouldn't fight each other eventually...just that they would take out the outsider first.

@Shawnbaby: I guess your right lol.
