Question: Which street-levelers in the MCU can survive one night in Arkham City?

Conditions:

  • All out three-way war between Penguin, Two-Face, and Joker (the streets are being patrolled by their henchmen and also unaffiliated thugs...there are lots of these goons, both armed and unarmed)
  • TYGER helicopters patrolling the skies (they will shoot the characters on sight)

Character Stipulations:

  • Super-Soldier tier characters are allowed, but nobody above that tier (also - no Vibranium suit for Black Panther, but he can have tactical Kevlar)
  • Characters like Danny Rand and Daisy Johnson are not allowed their superhuman abilities (such as Quaking and Iron Fist)
  • Standard equipment and body armor are allowed (e.g. firearms, knives, tactical gear, etc.)
  • Morals on, if applicable
  • The characters start off in the Amusement Mile district

Media allowed: Marvel Cinematic Universe films, tie-in comics, and shows

Begin.

Cap, Bucky, T'Challa, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Matt Murdock, Hawkeye, Black Widow all should be able to without much issues. Maybe Agent Grant Ward and Melinda May too, but with extreme difficulty.

Each of the games took place over a single night...honestly it depends on how much they actually have to do. Mr. Freeze alone would stop anyone but Bucky and Ant-Man (and maybe Hawkeye depending on the setup). If they just have to fight some gangs then it depends on the conditions.

If they only need to survive and not actually engage in battles most MCU steet level characters should be able to.

The only one I see capable of doing so is Panther because of his suit and I even have my doubts about him doing it. Potentially Winter Soldier. There was simply too much in Arkham City for Cap, Iron Fist, Daredevil (he'd get slaughtered at the start), Jessica Jones and Luke to handle. No MCU character comes close to Batman's level of skill, stealth, strategic thinking and they don't have the equipment necessary to complete the tasks. Bane, Mr. Freeze, titans, Solomon Grundy, Ra's Al Ghul are all too much for them. And Batman did it in 10 hours, no MCU street level character have performed a huge feat like that.

@paytience: That's true, certain things such as properly applied Jujitsu techniques WOULD hurt him. But the suit is still too hax for it to be fair if he has it. Especially considering he is both skilled and enhanced, so performing a joint lock or grapple/manipulation on him would be super difficult. So that is why I removed the Vibranium suit.

Surviving a night in Arkham City should be fine for Panther and Cap. If the scenario was Arkham Knight would have been too much for them.

@mike_fowler: Under the same conditions, probably, but not overcome the same threats Batman had to overcome

@normanbates: Luke cage might be cool and know how to live on the streets, but without his powers, how would he do against Two-Face, Joker and Penguin?

@normanbates: Quaking and Iron Fist powers are nerfed so I reckon super-strength and being literally bulletproof is a nerfed power!

@the_magister: mmm. Don't get me wrong, I don't see anybody actually putting it into practice. Just was pointing it out. It would be dope to see high level BJJ applied in live action more often though. Like real high level jiujitsu. That would be dope...look what hey did with John Wick, and that's only white belt jits.

I think there are not enough actual high level jiujitsuka choreographers is all. Although Rorion Gracie did help in that lethal weapon fight scene, and there was the Machados on Walker Texas ranger. But I think something big budget would be nice.

I honestly think that high level jits is so effective at shutting things down that there is no way to choreograph a convincing fight scene featuring one of them.

Rickson Gracie did smack the hulk though. There is that.

Yeah, that's right...in the MCU, Rickson Gracie>Hulk. Canon.

@paytience: I agree with you that jujitsu should be used more in action choreography. In all fairness, I do think that there are some good applications of jujitsu that we see on-screen in the MCU, though. A couple of stand-out instances I can remember off the top of my head are:

  • Cap vs Bucky final fight. Cap has Bucky in a rear naked chokehold and lets Bucky drag his arm down so that he can pin the metal arm with his leg.
  • Ward vs FBI agents in military transport van. He manipulates an FBI agent with his legs and uses that leverage to take control of his arm and wrest his pistol away from him.

And LMAO about the Rickson Gracie thing.
