Moon Knight would destroy Whirlwind. First off Marc would be familier with the surroundings because he's attended many charitable celebrations and made many donations to this college. Also he wouldn't hold back at all, he would have Avenger level clearence to the files he needed, but Whirlwind would have Masters of evil files....but do they rreally even have somewhere to hold this stuff? I'm assuming they don't but even if they did the files on MK would be slim. Now again in MK knows he's going into a tough battle he won't hold back. MK would know that Whirlwind has increased strength and perfect balnce meaning he'l have to use him weapons and the the few hits he gets effectively. Now WW's bio says nothing as far as his fighting ability where as MArc is considered to be one of the most efficient fighters in the MU. And depending on the phase of the moon his strength could really level this abttle out. If it's not night time MArc will by his time waiting for night. His costume is made to hide well in the shadows making him almost invisible in the shadows. Moon KNight has a variety of weapons and in thsi particular battle he'll probaly bring his spiked knuckles, admantium staff, and probaly a handgun (Yes he does use firearms). Now the actual battle I won't be able to say about until Phaed tells me the Moon phase. So hold off on a rebuttall till I know that.

)Tell me, for starters, where it shows Wind Dancer, still very much a novice at her powers, capable of that. I read most of her Pre-M-Day arc. she could fly, she could carry sounds, and she could throw wind at people, that was the extent of her powers.Ahura Mazda said:This is an interesting match up.......not.
Wind dancer is a mutant who has control of winds whereas Squirrel Girl has squirrel powers and the ability to communicate with them.
In a normal matchup, wind dancer will create a wind shield (a condensed set of criss crossing winds that would act to repel anything that tries to penetrate the wall of winds) around her that would be impervious to any attack. She would then go searching for Squiirel Girl who she would know full well. Wind dancer would be lugging a big bag around with her.
Squirrel Girl knows subtlety and timing. she knows how to plan and how to attack. SHIELD has considered her for a spot as agent. And if the horde-o-squirrels is so ravenous they'd ignore their target for a bag of nuts, then they would also be mauling Squirrel-Girl as she carries nuts in her nut-sacks at her waist and is know to smell like hazelnuts.Ahura Mazda said:Squirrel Girl would probably try and surprise her by jumping on her but she wuold be surprised by these set of winds which would automatically repel her. Squirrel Girl would then probably summon a horde of squirrels but....... that would be the point that Wind dancer would open the big bag which would contain nuts that she would send out using the wind to the hungry squirrels who would be busy eating them and during this moment of distration squirrel girl would feel herself lifted up by a gale force wind and tossed to the wall with Tippy Toe knocking both of them out.
oh, for the record, the environment favors SG as it not only gives her room and structures to manuever in and on, but it also grants her back-up in the form of the Horde-o-SquirrelsAhura Mazda said:Wind Dancer would then check out the dorms and faculty as college is just around the corner for her....
Zoken said:Squirrel Girl and Tippy-Toe (thanks for letting her have her partner by the way) Vs. Wind Dancer.
This isn't going to be a difficult match, you're right. Now Doreen won't know what her power is, but it won't be hard to divine from her name.
Zoken said:Now, Squirrel-Girl is a master of thinking different combat. She's gone up against Thanos, Terrax, Mandarin, Dr. Doom, and MODOK and come out on top.
Zoken said:She's got something up her sleeve. She's going to stalk Wind Dancer for a while, who won't know ANYTHING about Doreen as most people wouldn't.
Zoken said:She will observe the way the winds move around her (many squirrels glide so it isn't inconceivable that they would inform her about how the winds are behaving).
Zoken said:she won't attack directly from the front. Her squirrels will approach her first. since Wind Dance doesn't know that Doreen can control them she might find it odd that Squirrels are following her, and eventually catch on.Zoken said:You do realise alo this is a university in which there are stragglers. Do you not think that if people see squirrels walking around they might deem it strange and call pest control. Squirrels are not just going to roam the groounds iwthout hinderance.
Zoken said:but they can clump together weighing themselves down and still moving forwardZoken said:I hate to break it to you but if a hurricane like wind hits the squirrels they are all flying away. No clumping would help.
Zoken said:when Wind Dancer's mind is occupied by the squirrels that are menacing her, that is when Doreen strikes. She jumps in to make a few quick strikes, but is quickly pushed away by the wind. However, she left a present behind: Tippy-Toe. now what girl isn't going to freak out when she finds a rodent in her hair. not to mention Tippy-Toe has to have a good grip as she was the only squirrel to survive that vortex in the Misassembled arc. Now Tippy-Toe will be on a mission... get in her clothing.Zoken said:OK apart from the fact she could use her hands to whip tippy toe or way or a wind to thow her into a wall. How the hell does tippy toe get past the wind that pushed Squirrel Girl away? What is Tippy toe a special squirrel that can withstand the wind?
Zoken said:Like I said, Squirrel-Girl is a master of fighting differently. while Tippy Toe is scrabbling all over Wind Dancer's body (With no room for a sufficently powerful enough wind to propel her away) the other squirrels advance, along with Squirrel-Girl to pin[/p] Wind Dancer.
Why would there not be enough room. she can create a wind that wisks Tippy Toe away like a tornado which are tightly focused winds that work like a funnel.
And the others where not just flung away but flung either into walls or trees or other hard inanimate objects so they are all knocked out.
Besides all that, we are not in a wrestling match, pinning is not victory, even if she was pinned wind dancer could generate winds that would have squirrels and squirrel girl flying all over the room striking things.
Zoken said:Tell me, for starters, where it shows Wind Dancer, still very much a novice at her powers, capable of that. I read most of her Pre-M-Day arc. she could fly, she could carry sounds, and she could throw wind at people, that was the extent of her powers.

Squirrel Girl has never been identified as mutant to anyone other than Tony Stark and the GLC. She has never attended that X-Mansion, nor has she every interacted with mutants aside from her interaction at the Thing's Poker game, and I doubt "Hey, you're a mutant? What are your powers so I can document them for all my students to have access to" is going to come up. The X-Men don't know about her. she may be a mutant M-Day survivor, but she is not part of the 198 in the Xavier Compound,Ahura Mazda said:Rebuttal: First of all as a student in the x-mansion, she should have access to files on all mutants including squirrel girl. Therefore she should know who this character is.
as much of a joke as you may think Squirrel-Girl is, and as much as those battles happened off panel, They are all still incontinuity.Ahura Mazda said:As quite a few happenned off panel, please state how she won in each of those. Squirrel girl is a joke and you know it and to use the battles above as a reference is ludicrous.
Doreen can follow from roof tops, ledges, trees, whatever. she was able to sneak up on Tony Stark who was test piloting a sonar guidance system. I think she can sneak up on a green X-kid wannabe. and I doubt she could open every window around her by the way.Ahura Mazda said:Given that Wind Dancer will leave the main building and go on the grounds and that she will keep the wind tightly controlled around her, how is squirrel girl supposed to figure anything out? If she is not allowed she will find a main hall with access to windows which she will have all openned.
I wasn't say they are meterologists, but they do depend heavily on the wind for their day to day lives so they would understand quite intimately how the wind works.Ahura Mazda said:So tell me, are all these squirrels now meterologists who can state that wind is behaving strangely because they can compare natural wind patterns with what may be winds started unnaturally. All they could note is it may be a windy day and even that is unlikely if Doreen keeps the winds tight around herself.
what are you talking about. this is a nice open campus with lots of trees and woody areas and grassy areas. of course squirrels can move about without hindrance, what are you smoking? No one calls pest control on squirrels unless they are inside the building, which would be an enormous disadvantage to Wind Dancer.Ahura Mazda said:You do realise alo this is a university in which there are stragglers. Do you not think that if people see squirrels walking around they might deem it strange and call pest control. Squirrels are not just going to roam the groounds iwthout hinderance.
Since when can she make hurricane force winds? and Squirrel-Girl's squirrels have survived a vortex that was sucking in the universe, I think they can stand up to whatever this teeniebopper is going to blow at them.Ahura Mazda said:I hate to break it to you but if a hurricane like wind hits the squirrels they are all flying away. No clumping would help.
Tippy-Toe jumps on while Wind Dancer is distracted by Squirrel-Girl. she is able to hang on because she has claws that she can dig into Wind Dancer's clothes, hair, or if need be skin.Ahura Mazda said:OK apart from the fact she could use her hands to whip tippy toe or way or a wind to thow her into a wall. How the hell does tippy toe get past the wind that pushed Squirrel Girl away? What is Tippy toe a special squirrel that can withstand the wind?
Tippy-Toe would be tightly against Wind Dancer's body, there would be no room to whip up the kind of wind necessary to blow her off. She needs room to get her wind in motion.Ahura Mazda said:Why would there not be enough room. she can create a wind that wisks Tippy Toe away like a tornado which are tightly focused winds that work like a funnel.
They're squirrels, they don't have the same mass humans do, meaning the impact isn't as great. also they are arboreal in nature, so they are use to impacting trees and such as they leap and scamper daily.Ahura Mazda said:And the others where not just flung away but flung either into walls or trees or other hard inanimate objects so they are all knocked out.
Fine, while pinned, the squirrels strip Wind Dancer naked and Doreen refused to return the girl's things until she surrenders. and if need be she could just knock out Wind Dancer instead, however I think the humiliation of being butt-naked on a college campus would be enough to cause Wind Dancer to surrender. she is, after all, a teenage girl.Ahura Mazda said:Besides all that, we are not in a wrestling match, pinning is not victory, even if she was pinned wind dancer could generate winds that would have squirrels and squirrel girl flying all over the room striking things.
no, it is a large leap from using winds to throw people and creating a sheild with them.Ahura Mazda said:She learnned because it si a very small step between throwing people awy and keeping winds as a buffer which will throw all away as a buffer zone.
this has been addressed. She may be a joke in your opinion, but her adventures are all incontinuity. Squirrel-Girl isn't those characters... she's better.Ahura Mazda said:Was it not more then someone stated her as a joke. And just a little point of information, Squirrel Girl is not Batman or James Bond.
while I know you are being sarcastic, I'm going to address this. The squirrels she commands, obey her, not their instincts, thusly they will ignore any nuts thrown and obey their orders.Ahura Mazda said:Oh I am sorry...are you stating that the squirrels would attack her as well. That is fine with me. Therefore squirrel girl attacks by her own squirrels gets eaten alive.![]()
Squirrels like to horde therefore if they see nuts flung at them they will be distracted and likely more interested in the hazelnuts then in Wind Dancer.
where do you think this is. Empire State University has a great deal of land scaping and greenery. what do you think lives there. this isn't in the city, its at ESU, and there are Squirrels living there, deal with it.Ahura Mazda said:Really, I do not see that. How does this structure give her back up in the form of horde-o-squirrels. This is not chipmunk university you know. Plus if it was in the city it would take time for the squirrels to make it there.
no, Squirrel-Girl is highly talented and has beat enemies far tougher, and far scarier than Wind Dancer.Ahura Mazda said:Wind Dancer sould easily knock squirrel girl out which would quickly end the battle.
Zoken said:Rebuttle of the Rebuttle Squirrel Girl has never been identified as mutant to anyone other than Tony Stark and the GLC.

Zoken said:and on another note, if ANYONE could possibly have prior knowledge of the other's powers, it would be Doreen. she could easily get on to the X-Men's campus and chat with their squirrels about the students.
No, it is a large leap. please remember, that just because you can imagine it doesn't mean it's easy for a ROOKIE MUTANT to do. remember, she's not Storm, she doesn't have the years of experience.Ahura Mazda said:No it isn't. It is just a matter of creating criss crossing wind patterns which will always lead outward but would leave a vortex where nothing is happenning.
I'm only going to address this once: Just because you don't like the character doesn't mean you can write off what has been stated IN CONTINUITY! she found ways to beat Dr. Doom, Thanos, MODOK, Terrax, Mandarin, and Giganto. She is clever enough to find a way to beat Wind Dancer, a ROOKIE x-wannabeAhura Mazda said:A joke in most people's opinions not just mine. But I adress that above. I am just claiming that unless you can state how she defeated the characters she defeated you can not use those victories. I will give you Dr. Doom getting overwhelmed though even if all he had to do was a create an electrical discharge using his armour and it would have been fried squirrel.
you "understand it" that way, because that's how you want it to be, NOT because it's the truth. Squirrels around Squirrel Girl are much smarter than normal, and with prolonged exposure seem to retain that intelligence.Ahura Mazda said:see...but the way I understand it tthey do obey their instincts and at worst, they would still be distracted by the nuts therfore making it more difficult albeit not impossible for squirrel girl to control them.
And I was being sarcastic.
from pictures in Slingers and Gravity we have seen ESU and it is well landscaped, even if it is in the city. besides, Squirrels don't live in JUST trees. they've been known to live on buildings and skyscrapers.Ahura Mazda said:From the info I read ESU is in the City and I am not aware of such a layout. But if we are outside it is not an issue for me because Wind Girl is above the tree line and squirrel girl cannot reach her.
again, this is you trying to deny what is already in continuity.Ahura Mazda said:Squirrel girl was some writer's sarcastic comment on the power writers had. And please refer to my comment above. If you do not know how she defeated the list of people she supposedly did then I say it did not happen.
Does a rock make a noise if nothing is there to hear it?

Zoken said:as to your contention that Wind Dancer would get above the treeline, then squirrel-girl would stay in the trees, hidden from Wind Dancer's view. she has been show to be an excellent leaper and highly agile. while Wind Dancer does have a dancer's agility, it is out done by Squirrel-Girl's super-human agility.
ONE: this isn't just based on what is possible with her powers, but also what she is capable of by her history. Spider-Man should beable to pull objects toward him, but he doesn't because he has never done that. same instance. and even if she could accomplish this, It doesn't negate as she would have to continually focus on keeping the vortex in place, meaning she would need Squirrel-Girl to atack her.Ahura Mazda said:It may not be easy but she could do it and therefore it is possible. That possibility would negate any tactic you had.
she won, more than likely, by out thinking them, and outmanuevering them, and acting differently than one would expect her to. we dont' know how she won, but we do know that she won. ACCEPT IT.Ahura Mazda said:Since you feel you have to keep insulting my character I will insult yours. Your Iron Man sidekick wannabe may have won but that was not my question to you.....the question was how did she win? You do not want to answer that question apparently.
how about any number of times shes commanded them to do things that would endanger their lives? Attacking Doom, attacking Batroc's Brigade, etc.Ahura Mazda said:Basically, you are stating to me that they are smart enough to overcome all their natural instincts......ok then please show me instances
if she's out of range for Squirrel Girl to jump to her, than she is out of range to effectively hit Squirrel-GIrl on the ground with sufficient winds. Aim and and power are the price of her protective distance.Ahura Mazda said:Fine I have no problem with that. Therefore you can assume that wind dancer is high up in the air above the range Squirrel Girl could jump or any of the other squirrels.
do you honestly think knocking her hout of a tree will knock her out? She's SQUIRREL-Girl. She's arboreal. besides, if Wind Dancer is high enough to be out of range (which means not just above the trees but above the surrounding buildings) then she is out of range to send a sufficiently powerful gust of wind at Squirrel GIrl before she can dodge.Ahura Mazda said:OK let me put it to you this way...sh is above the tree line sending gale force winds downwards causing all the trees to lose their leaves. Squirrel Girl will be affected by the winds and eventually will be knocked off the tree hard into the ground, knocking her out.

wikipedea said:Three weeks later, in early January, she joined the school, but had difficulty fitting in. By her birthday in May, despite her best efforts, she still had no friends at the school, and her father didn't even know it was her birthday (unlike his butler Derek, the only person who had any time for her). After hearing someone say that no one liked her behind her back after lying that they were busy, she finally snapped. Going to one of her father's stores, she let loose a hurricane inside it, completely wrecking it
Zoken said:The "Wannabe" comment, may have been insulting, but the "ROOKIE" comment was not an insult. I was pointing out that Wind Dancer is not a trained X-Man, nor is she highly experienced with her powers. She would not be able to pull off the "Wind Vortex Shield" that you pulled out of parts unknown.
This is where you lost me....Either we are having the battle inside in which case Wind Dancer would be opening the windows or it is outside where her powers are more effective.
By the way if they are outside I forgot to state that Wind Dancer would be using winds to keep her afloat above the tree line.

Zoken said:Squirrel-Girl could would be able to stalk her from the outside of buildings if she were inside, and from trees. she'd have the gift of surprise no matter what. Inside Wind Dancer is at a disadvantage. Outs side, at best, they are on equal footing.
