    Captain America is said to be the best fighter in H2H in the Marvel universe but are there others that could surpass him.

    I don't think he's the best, but he's definitely one of them. Wolverine, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Elektra and Black Panther are all up there too

    I think Iron Fist and Shang Chi are often noted as the top fighters, at least in terms of skill.

    I think Taskmaster is probably a bit below?

    Cap has defeated Wolverine, Iron fist, Daredevil and Black Panther in H2H before. I wonder who would win between him and Elektra also some seem to forget Nick Fury probably as good as Cap himself.

    Mantis, Mandarin are near the top

    Cap, Panther etc are great, they are more or less equal but don't have any of those mystic ridiculous feat Mandarin has

    Captain America is the best HUMAN LEVEL hand to hand fighter in Marvel. Only one person could defeat Cap more then 50% of the time is Karata Kid.

    I'm actually pretty sure there's already a topic exactly like this one, but anyway. Iron Fist, Wolverine, Captain America, Shang Chi, etc. Are all viable candidates.

    Though I don't know enough about these characters to judge.

    I am really amazed that people are saying names like Red Skull and Daredevil and even Black Panther.....
     
     
    what about Gamora, Mantis, Karnak, The Cat, Gorgon....aren't these guys above most of them
     
    I guess its all based on opinion though, so......whatever

    @cattlebattle: DD and BP Aren't the best, but yeah they're certainly up there. Red Skull's a bit of a stretch, though.

    And Cap's been taken down by DD, Wolverine and Black Panther. I don't think Fury's as good as Cap is, but he's got some good moves. He's a better marksman though.

    Storm??

    just check this link: http://www.comicvine.com/storm/29-1444/how-good-is-she/92-542369/#96


    Storm is formidable h2h fighter but....one of the BEST h2h fighters in Marvel? I don't think so. She doesn't have the feats to place her as one of the best. There are a good number of other charcaters who have superior showinfs in technique and ability that are above Storm. 
     
    My list of top h2h fighters...  
     
    Men 
      
    Wolverine 
    Captain America/Black Panther  
    Iron Fist 
    Taskmaster   
    Deadpool

     
    Women 
      
    Gamora 
    Mantis
    Elektra 
    Lady Deathstrike 
    Mockingbird/Black Widow

    Shang Chi + The Cat > Iron Fist > Captain America > Bucky Barnes & Daredevil (nearly on same level, but he's got a better physique) > Wolverine & Elektra.

    If Cap wasn't a Supersoldier it'd be different though. Or maybe it wouldn't. No idea where BP is on this, but probably in the last two groups.

    As far as skill and not BS written into crap story lines,

    Iron Fist, Shang-Chi, Karnak, Taskmaster, Daredevil (in no order) should all in honesty beat cap one on one (no shananigans written in). Cap may have more heart and super-serum but not skill. the military doesn't give you the training that these others have recieved. and as far as taskmaster he can do anything cap can do and more.

    Hand to hand? why is everyone saying cap he can be easily beaten by millions. with out ANY extra powers JUST fighting i would say World Breaker Hulk because of his supreme healing factor. With powers? the One above all.

    ok i have been reading these and here is the definitive answer

    h2h its wolverine then cap then cable actually and then sabertooth then taskmaster then moonknight then punisher then ironfist daredevil deadpool

    in straight hand to hand i have comics to prove all these stan lee himself rated iron fist at a fighting ability at level 6 out of a possible 7 cable sabertooth wolverine and cap were the only group rated at 7 by stan lee and i have ranked them in order due to how well they did fighting amongst each otger in comics wolvie has the edge on cap and so on daredevil beat deadpool and all the rest are in order due to them actually fighting in comics

    thats the best your gonna get as far as accuracy unless you wanna argue with stan lee ;)

    I think the top ten would look a bit like this: Captain America, Daredevil, Black Panther, Nick Fury, Elektra, Wolverine, Deadpool, Iron Fist, Black Widow, Hercules. With Thor, Bucky and Moon Knight as honorable mentions. I'm only listing heroes though...not sure what it'd look like with villains too.

    This is always one of those questions that you can take in different directions. Is it who has the best skills . . . or . . . who is the best H2H fighter.

    Hulk is low skilled but barely no one could beat him in a H2H fight because of his strength and near invulnerability.

    Shang Chi and Iron Fist are ridiculously skilled at fighting H2H but lack the power to take down someone as strong as Hulk.

    In a combination of both, I'd take Gamora. She can withstand the heat of the surface of the sun and has some of the best skills in the entire Marvel U.

    Marvel has always been bias when it comes to their heroes. I'm sure they'd say Captain America is the best. Match him with bigger heroes and villains and he'd still win. why? because he's a marvel icon, a marvel favorite.
