@ultimate_knight: Bloodshot had a minor tussle with Armstrong and it seemed to be a standstill but you get the sense that neither man was going all out. Eternal Warrior is vastly more learned in fighting styles and hand 2 hand combat experience. However, Bloodshot has X factors that his nanites give him. He basically has Mid tier superhuman awareness.
Why is that important? He knows where you are at all times without having to see you. He has done this most recently with Deathmate. He also can analyze someone's weak points for maximum damage like he did when he fought the first Armor Hunter he faced.
He can also read someone and tell what punch they will throw just before they throw it by their body's preparation for that action. This he can interpret via heart rate and muscle tension.
So, for this one trait specifically. Imagine a baseball player. How does a baseball player hit a round ball traveling 98 mph from 60 ft away with a round bat? A 95 mph fastball reaches the catcher at .4 seconds which is about the same time it takes a human to blink. He uses anticipation, skill, and confidence in meeting the ball where he believes it will be before it gets there. Because of this the pitcher also throw curveballs, sliders, change ups, etc... Now imagine the batter can somehow tell what pitch the pitcher will throw a split second before he throws it, every time.
This I think is what makes it interesting.
So even if Gilad is faster and stronger, which is still debatable, Ray has greater awareness, anticipation amongst other variables like nanite infection, synaptic burst and other adaptable uses his powers have.
So I will say Bloodshot should win. However, I think they might write it with Gilad coming out on top. I'm not sure Valiant intended to make Bloodshot as powerful as he is, and I think they have Gilad hold a higher power tier.
