Luke Cage (MCU) vs Niklaus Mikaelson (TVD / The Originals)

VS

Hand to Hand only in a physical fight

Round 1 Character knowledges only

Round 2 Without character knowledges only

Niklaus won't use his Hybrid mode and compulsion

No prep

Takes place on the bridge (where Luke fought Bushmaster)

Music during a fight:

Bloodlust on

Win by KO or Incapacitate

Who wins?

Nik both rounds.

Nik is too fast.

@lan_fan: @rbt: Can Nik get pass his nigh invulnerability who can tank explosions and withstand a chi punch?

@assemblesquad: Yes. I think Elijah survived a house level explosion, and Klaus doesn't have problem harming him.

@lan_fan: So which any The Vampire Diaries / The Originals characters would be fair fight to Luke?

@assemblesquad: Fair? I'm not sure tbh. Their power scaling is consistent, but unqualifiable most of the times. This is more of a drama show.

Does he have the damage output to harm Luke? The only thing I remember from them is pull each other’s heart out.

Ew if it isn't the "fte", hypnotic, low budget daytime tv fake vampire trash. Luke can stomp. Nik is nothing impressive

Certainly. Elijah took an explosion that completely destroyed a mansion and wasn't even knocked out. Rebekah took a gas explosion that was seen from miles and all she had to show for it was some soot on her face. And Mikelsons can hurt each other with their hits. I don't think Luke has any advantage, tbh. Nik is stronger, more durable and far faster.

Nik and Luke's strength might be closely matched.

We had untransformed werewolves ripping apart reinforced metal cuffs. Nik should be comfortably stronger.

@rbt: I think Luke can replicate that.

@assemblesquad: Certainly. But that was an untransformed warewolf. They are not even as strong as a newbie vampire, let alone an Original.

@rbt: okay. So Nik can hit hard than Bushmaster?

@assemblesquad: Most likely, yeah.

@uugieboogie: He fought against his half brother Elijah who tanks a mansion explosion and Rebekah who also survive a gas explosion.

Oh okay, well he has every advantage in this fight and should win handily.

Luke had trouble with a enhanced human more skilled then him.

Niklaus is not only more skilled, but far faster, and hits way harder then Bushmaster.

The only vampire who is more skilled is Elijah.

I dont know why you commented that... Had nothing to do with the original post or what I said...

But no, there are vampires more skilled then Elijah. Mikael, being one of them.

Stalemate or Luke stomps.

@boc

@assemblesquad: Yeah I saw this, but I haven't seen Luke Cage. Preciate the tag though.

@boc: You should take a look at his respect thread.

@assemblesquad: Interesting. I say this goes to Klaus. Superior combat speed, similar durability (except skin), and at least strength on par (from what I saw.) And if all else fails, compulsion.

☆My Thoughts exactly. Brilliant!

Luke is definitely stronger but klaus is way faster and more versatile so original hybrid wins

Klaus breaks his neck then kills him.

Klaus

Klaus busts like with 1 strike

Klaus breaks his neck.

This

Klaus got this

I would say it would be tough for Klaus to beat Luke Cage. Normal ppl could technically kill the Vampire Diary Vampires without special skills or ability. Wood steaks and sun will do it easiest. But the Michaels plot device of having to kill them with special items was the only reason they lived as long. That being said there is no way Luke could win without prior knowledge.

Considering the ease at which Luke Cage could cause regular ppl to break their hands on how skin his durability was good but even better after he received that amp. Best feat to date is taking Danny's chi punches with ease and getting hit full speed by a dump truck and taking no damage.

Luke Cage doesn't have endless stamina, but he tends to pace himself in a fight. At this point there is no known cap to his strength. But he does require oxygen to breath. So Klaus could exploit that. But Luke Cage could rip off his ring and hold him down in the sunlight

I think it could go either way with knowledge. Without knowledge its a tough call with Klaus taking the edge.

Klaus.

@blacharrt: actually klaus doesnt need a daylight ring because he is a hybrid just to let you know

Favoring Klaus here, for the most part due to speed.

Klaus
