X-Men Vs. Midnighter

X-Men - Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, (AOA)Nightcrawler and Gambit

Vs.

Midnighter

Rules

Morals off

Standard equipment

No BFR

Win by KO or Death only

Location: New York City, not in sight, 1 block away from each other

Who wins and why?

Midnighter. The X-Men listed here will be hard-pressed to even see Midnighter before he blitzes them and causes mass confusion. Their only hope would be Storm getting in the air miraculously before Midnighter is able to down her and coming up with something, although it is unlikely she can really do anything he couldn't just evade.

"Do you know what happens when a midnighter gets struck by lightning?"

@Illuminatus: Wasn't as funny as I thought it would be, I'll get rid of it..

Nothing, seeing as she's never going to even hit Midnighter before he breaks her neck.

Depends on how quick storm gets in the air. Once she is in the air, she will kill midnighter eventually especially since morals are off.

I wasn't aware Midnighter had gained the ability to Fly.

With what?

Not to side with Storm, but she could just manipulate the air pressure and cause him to stop breathing - that's assuming she gains distance.

Is that an ability that she has ever properly demonstrated?

Pretty sure. Almost positive. It's probable. No reason to doubt it. Anything could happen*

* I have absolutely no idea.

That's one Scenario. Here's another. Storm Summons a Tornado directly on top of Midnighter.  
Or Nightcrawler teleports his head right off of his body.

Midnighter would see it coming and kill him as he teleported in.

No Doors..

Standard equipment but no doors. Seems a bit uneven.

Midnighter having the ability to BFR character into space is unfair

x-men win. Visor off blast. he will hit him someday.

@Shawnbaby said:

Yeah, because Storm is totally known for her pinpoint accuracy with tornados against people she doesn't even have a direct line-of-sight with. And, what is a tornado supposed to do to Midnighter? The guy trades blows with Maul, Apollo, and Jack Hawksmoor. It's not like your average tornado (or even an extremely powerful one) is going to hurt him. All Midnighter has to do is say "Door" and he'll be completely safe.  
 

 Or Nightcrawler teleports his head right off of his body. 

Again, no line-of-sight for Kurt to base this maneuver on. He doesn't use those maneuvers like ever unless he knows exactly where is enemy is residing, which wont be in one place for long.

If Midnighter speedblitz's most of them will go down before the fight even starts properly. Cyclops and Gambit are almost non-factors Midnighter will one-shot them. Wolverine can't really do much either due to him being to slow but the combination of AoA Nightcrawler and Storm could give them the win.

Actually Storm is known for Pinpoint Accuracy of Things like that. and while a Tornado may not kill him...it could certainly BFR him.

But Nightcrawler's tele-dismemberment is totally fair?

Storm sucking the air out of Midnighter's lungs isn't going to do squat. He's survived on the surface of Mars without a problem and both he and Apollo have implants that enable them to function in anaerobic environments. And he could just dodge her lightning, Kraven dodged a barrage of Storm's lightning strikes in Black Panther #520.

Archangel was was able to react and get an attack in before Nightcrawler could dismember him, Midnighter shouldn't have any problems in doing the same.

@Illuminatus: I didn't say she would do it sight unseen.

Sure, and Midnighter's main means of attacking people in the air being removed is fair? Especially when he's fighting multiple opponents at the same time? You could at least eliminate doors being used to BFR people but allow them to be used to reach Storm's position in the air.

@Illuminatus: Storm uses her weather senses to locate MN or Wolverine uses his nasal senses to pick him up and they have Storm and Cyclops obliterate anything >:D

If they're not in sight then Midnighter could sneak up on the X-Men through the buildings, seeing as he's stealthier than any of them and his outfit absorbs light, and then pull off Scott's visor before anyone knows what's happening.

Hmm... okay

@Illuminatus: And he automatically has knowledge of the X-Men and what their powers are?

@Shawnbaby said:

@Illuminatus: And he automatically has knowledge of the X-Men and what their powers are?

Upon first sight of them, yes.

@CitizenBane: Does Nighter give off any form of scent? Or does he have another Silver Supes in street level form power that says otherwise?

Ok. Then he is completely unbeatable and the X-Men have absolutely no chance...in fact...no one does...ever.

I don't remember anything about him not giving off a scent, but how would Logan know which scent is 'Nighter's? He's never met the guy before.

@CitizenBane: @Illuminatus: His Wiki is misleading then...it said that during a fight with someone it took him a few seconds to ascertain their powers.

That's from the new 52, we're presumably using Wildstorm Midnighter here. And it took him a few seconds because he'd been fighting for those few seconds so there wasn't a lot of ascertaining going on.

Midnighter wins here.

Why?

Because he's awesome.

Why would we presumably use Wildstorm...isn't New 52 the most recent version?

Yes, but people have enough sense to not use the new 52 versions because they don't have enough feats yet. There are plenty of threads that just say "Superman" but people still know enough to use his pre-Flashpoint feats.

Plus I posted a Wildstorm feat on the first page, and the OP didn't address that and insist on using DCnU feats only.

That aside, if morals are off Midnighter could signal the carrier to bomb the team from above, like this:

@CitizenBane: I love that scan.

Well, I was going by the new 52 version because no version was specified by the OP so that would mean he defaults to his current version.
