@supremegeneration:
My general rule of thumb is 616 Super Soldiers > MCU Super Soldiers.
And while this may apply for BP and Cap it certainly doesn't for Bucky. He has basically no regular strength feats (and those he does have are below MCU Daredevil) and his durability feats without the impact suit aren't very good, speed is a lot closer but T'challa is still better than him there. His arm is weaker than his MCU iteration by quite a bit, it gets basically no attention in his fights beyond hitting harder than his regular (and as we just established, unimpressive) arm. His gear is identical to what Bucky had on the bridge in most cases except he doesn't always carry heavier weapons. He has some extra tricks on his arm he never uses.
Basically the rule of thumb doesn't apply to 616 Winter Soldier, who really isn't a super soldier at all. The only area he surpasses his live-action version is skill and (probably) resistance to explosions.
I've debated this particular one to death and I will hold my opinion that Winter Soldier beats MCU Panther. His arm's showings vs characters such as Burnside/50's Cap should prove he has what it takes to eventually KO T'Challa.
He barely hurt him (meaningfully, i.e in a way that lasted more than a few moments) with a punch in conjunction with a shield throw. Burnside Cap was tough but even then he has absolutely nothing on T'challa in the durability department, and that's not even considering that Bucky can't hit T'challa without having it redistributed if that's what BP wants.
Likewise, taking hits from 50s Cap is just as impressive a durability feat.
It's really not. Again he was tough but compare his striking feats (knocking over a small chimney) or even scaled stuff (being stronger than Cap) to stuff that's only momentarily knocked T'challa down (Vibranium horn charge) and it should be pretty obvious that T'challa is far, far above. Ignoring that fact he uses claws and can amp his regular strikes to hurt people like Cull Obsidian, if he wants to one shot the Winter Soldier he can.
They're pretty equal in speed but the skill isn't close imo.
Obviously I disagree but even if this were true the fact he so far ahead everywhere else would make it basically irrelevant.
Bucky's feats vs people like Daredevil or that one simultaneous fight against Matt and Wolverine (I don't care that he was losing, T'Challa would get slaughtered),
They weren't trying to seriously hurt him and approached him one at a time, T'challa could do exactly what Buck did there and more. It's not as if he actually fought and held off Clint, Matt and Wolverine.
or even beating Widow (someone skillwise far above anyone in the MCU) should mean he beats Panther.
Again, disagree here but we should be able to agree it's not feasible for this to matter given how mismatched they are everywhere else.
