Midnighter Vs. Spiderman

Standard Equipment

1 day prep

Who wins?

FIGHT!

If this has been done before I apologize and Don't need another "welcome to comic-vine crap".

Current Spider-man wins with 1 day prep.

My best guess is midnighter.

@comicace3: Current Spider-man technically put the whole Avengers team under mindcontrol with his prep (including Thor and Hulk). With prep Midnighter is gonna have a VERY tough time beating Spider-man.

I see Midnighter using his door ability a lot here. If Midnighter touches him once, which he is fairly capable, he will port him into space, as once of my friends have just shown me.

@Strider92: Does Spiderman have the ability to survive in space?

@Strider92: A genius who took down the Avengers with prep vs The greatest tactician of history who can predict every single move that you are about to make and determine the best outcome in his head. tough call.

True I will point out that Midnighter's battle computer does not automatically find a sure way to win. It gives him an approximation and options on how he could win. Here for example:

Midnighter gambled his own life. It allowed him to win but he could have died. The computer does not give him a sure way to win. Midnighter still has to pull it off.

@Strider92: But i dont see a situation spiderman could put him in that his computer could fail

@dondave: Well the fact that he has genius level intellect (good enough to mind-control a whole Avengers team), preparation and pre-cognition might help.

@Strider92: Exactly, and this Spider-man has probably more than five ways for him to lose, while I will admit that this Spider-man has incredible feats of prep, he had weeks to prepare, while in this case he has only one day. For Midnighter a day is a life time, for him to analyze and even manipulate the outcomes for his advantage.

@DarkKnightDetective: True but Midnighter has to see his opponent so he can predict his outcomes. For example someone like Zealot he could have gone over a ton of options for because he has seen her and fought her. He's never met Spider-man meaning all his calculations are going to be done on the spot when he meets him for the first time while still effective it lowers his chances considerably.

@Strider92: It's a day of prep, meaning that Midnighter can track down and observe Spider-man's moves.

@DarkKnightDetective: Yes but not only does he have to find Spider-man he also has to get a good look at him without triggering his spider-sense which he can't predict unless he's seen him first. Paradox ftw!

@Strider92: Whether he triggers his spider-sense or not is not important, I think it was during the Kraven's first hunt arc when he was being observed by one of the Kravinoff, his spider-sense triggered but didn't exactly pin-point or tell him where it was coming from he just knew that he was in danger. Meaning that Midnighter can still observe Spidey's moves.

@DarkKnightDetective: Wouldn't the fact that they both had prep mean they both knew they were heading a fight. If thats the case Spider-man would most likely be on alert for danger which he wasn't expecting when Kraven did it. Also to my knowledge although he can predict things in a random encounter I don't have any recollection of Midnighter being able to predict what prep an enemy is going to use.

@comicace3: Which Midnighter is this. New 52 Midnighter or Wildstorm Midnighter

@Strider92: Midnighter calculates on the spot, but if spiderman preps, I have a feeling it could be dangerous for midnighter. Without prep, midnighter wins no doubt, with prep it could go either way.

Agreed without prep I would support Midnighter after a good fight. With prep and current Spider-man's intelligence i'm inclined to support him.

@Strider92: True but being familiar with a opponent is a advantage, he can see his opponents weak points and like he did with Marthian Manhunter.

I agree in a random encounter Midnighter would win this I just think with prep which is a rogue element shifts this to Spider-mans favor. The general consensus in Spider-man Vs Midnighter threads is that Midnighter wins in a good fight. With prep which benefits Spider-man far more than Midnighter should give him the advantage.

Yeah, Spiderman's spidey sense will counter midnighter's computer and his prep will allow him to come up with a way to defeat midnighter. Though it would still be a 50-50% chance if spidy has prep. Maybe 51-49% lol

Midnighter's good but current Spider-Man is superior to him.

I'll never get tired of that joke.

@Strider92: But considering that Spider-man has prep what is he going to do to stop Midnighter? I doubt Spidey can find info on Midnighter. While Midnighter just probably has to type Spider-man into youtube and he will probably find a collection of authenthic videos of Spidey in battle.

@DarkKnightDetective: Despite Midnighters formidable abilities he can still be taken out by conventional means. A broken neck KO'd him. Even with short periods of time Ock has done some incredible things. with a day he coated hims suit in carbonadium (ASM 700) this already lowers the amount of damage Midnighter can do not to mention all the technology Spider-man already has access too from Horizon, freeze pellets, magnetic webbing, acid webbing etc.... With the amount of resources at Horzion, access to Ocks own lab and the combined smarts of both Peter and Otto there are many things he could do to even the odds.

his strike didn't do anything to Manhunter... Manhunter was playing possum.

@Shawnbaby: I could be wrong but I believe he was was referring to the instance in Stormwatch where Midnighter found Martian Manhunters evolutionary weakness and tried to punch the bone in his nose through his brain not the surprise attack where MM was indeed playing possum.

I see 3 things here.

1) MM survived and survives easily

2) Midnighter Battle CPU had no clue MM would survive

3) Midinighter clearly doesn't understand WHY MM survived that blow easy which means neither does his ALL KNOWING CPU was clueless.

Midnighter is so overated with his CPU.....

Thanks for the clear cut scans.

Midnighter.

@CadenceV2: New 52 Midnighter doesn't have his supercomputer...he just has precog

Oh...So it wasnt the one I was thinking it was...It's a completely different example of Midnighter being completely ineffective against Martian Manhunter.

Man, I love it when even proving me wrong proves that I am right.

So New 52 Midnighter also has crappy Precog... more fair for comic writing I suppose.

I know for a fact someone like Zealot battle thru Midnighters Battle CPU and nearly won with skill alone. Also Midnighter Battle CPU was useless against the Joker of all people cause Joker is insane.

It has limits to very skilled opponents and insane people it seems.

Also New 52 Midnighter Chin Spike looks silly.....

yeah, he kinda dropped the ball there.......also he's just blatantly lowballing and discrediting midnighter

Sorry Im not a super DC fan but is it not Cannon? Wild storm universe is in DC universe yes? Last Time I check DC dont have non cannon What Ifs like marvel. So how I drop the ball or lowball Midnighter? Because to say he always win when he doesn't is right?

@Strider92: this battle is 50/50, Midnighter can make the odds to his advantage.

@CadenceV2: DC does have a non cannon, it is called Elseworlds.

@Shawnbaby: Huh? I wasn't trying to prove you wrong. All I said was I don't believe that was the feat that was being referred too which it wasn't.

I know...it's just that even though it wasn't the example I was referring to..its another example proving that Midnighter is not infallible.

Midnighter was never infallible in the first place....

@comicace3: Op is suposed to stay neutral in your own battle......

@DarkKnightDetective: Elseworlds, have to keep that in mind.

@Jonny_Anonymous: I never saw Zealot killed batman but remember people posting scans of Joker vs Midnighter. Good to know then.

@Jonny_Anonymous: Thanx. Realistically I think thats exactly what would happen in a fight between the 2 tho. Midnighters stats alone would have ended Joker so that was silly.

He doesn't have to touch him, so there's that.

Not sure what you're getting at here. Midnighter said clearly that he found ways to win. I'm not sure where you see that he would have died. He could have stabbed her before she flew off. Winning wasn't the problem, the computer gave him ways to win, he just needed something beyond winning the fight, he needed her to talk. And really, I don't think he would have died if he fell from the sky. He has amazing durability and an incredible healing factor.

It's not clear what Midnighter needs to start working. He may not need to see him with his eyes directly, in which case, viewing Spider-Man from the Carrier (which can open Doors to anywhere on the planet if he did need to lay eyes on him) could easily be enough. And even if he doesn't, actually look at him, he can get more than enough information to make plans for Spider-Man. He could win the fight using nothing more than what he had in Revolutions, his armor and a vial of nano-aids. His armor would make him more than able to take anything Spider-Man could make in a day, and the vial would shut down any tech Spider-Man brought to the fight. And this brings me to a question I often have in prep fights, what are they prepping for? What do the characters get to know about each other?

Spider-Man's not going to be breaking his neck though... Conventional means are all well and good except that Midnighter typically sees them coming. Seth broke his neck because he was a walking plot device with thousands of powers (including intangibility, which meant Midnighter could never have hurt him). He was beyond Midnighter's ability to deal with. Spider-Man with a day of prep isn't, unless there's something to show that he is. And while Midnighter has access to Horizon, Midnighter has the Carrier and everything in Krigstein's labs.

Thanks for the clear cut scans.

That version of Midnighter isn't the one with an established combat computer so your complaints aren't really relevant. Also, Midnighter's weakness detection wasn't necessarily wrong. Manhunter had a weakness, he just moved it before it could be exploited.

Man, I love it when even proving me wrong proves that I am right.

If your point was that Midnighter was ineffective against MM, you were right. However, if your point was to counter the original point that Midnighter can see weak points, you'd be incorrect since Midnighter did correctly find a weakpoint (and MM confirms it), the weak point was just moved before it could be used.
