Adam X Vs Bloodwraith
Okay, so this seems like a hard battle for Adam to win, and it is, but he has a lot better chance at it than I originally thought. I thought Adam was just a guy who was good at fighting, advanced strength and agility, and a great swordsman with throwing knives as well. I completely forgot about his powers, and after studying them I realize that he's got a good shot at winning this. His powers are that he can ignite oxydized blood. The cliffnotes is that if he can cut his oponant he can burn them from the inside out. He can use it mildly to simply warm something, or he can make it extreme. Here's some examples of what he's done....
Showing off his agility he bounces around the entire X-Force team and manages to cut them all at least once.
He then ignites their blood on a whim and it takes them all out for a short while so that he can escape. That's pretty good.
This is what impressed me though... here he is facing off against Eric the Red. Eric has one small cut on his shoulder, he says burn while clanging Marvel's cuffs together to teleport away (the cuffs did nothing to intensify his power)....
... And he does it enough to LITERALLY BLOW HIM TO PIECES!!!!
So that makes me happy. Adam is one heck of a character if you ask me and I didn't even remember how good he was until now. So anyway, he's up against Bloodwraith. I don't understand the Bloodwraith that well but I've downloaded some stuff with him to read and I really think that Adam can win this. He seems to have aditional strength and he's an expert swordsman, and anyone he kills their souls get sucked into his blade and it's like a drug to him. Now I was reading Avengers 366 when he faced Deadpool and Black Knight and he was getting kicked and punched left and right, showing me that he can be physically harmed just fine. He has a physical body that can be cut and can bleed, which is all that Adam needs. I guess his recent appearnace was when he was huge due to all the souls he's collected (I don't know the details as I haven't read the issues) but as far as I'm concerned, it's just a bigger easier target. I'll play with both scenerios to show it working out.
The Battle: They're at the mansion, a place that neither are familiar with. It's indoors and Adam is just as comfortable at fighting indoors as he is outdoors. He's majorly agile as I showed above and he's a great swordsman (able to hold his own with Shatterstar, which is pretty good) so he should be able to stay away from the ebony blade. Not only that but he also has major skills at throwing blades. In every appearance of Adam his first move is to draw blood and to burn his foe. My guess is that the two will meet and after a short while Adam will get a blow in and draws blood (keep in mind, Adam has a sword, throwing blades, retractable claws like wolvie, etc. Dude can draw blood). From that point on it's done. He can fire up Bloodwraith and the man will be down, as has everyone that's been hit. If somehow Bloodwraith doesn't go down, Adam will know the level of threat he's facing. Keep in mind that the wound is still open so he can just fire him up again, amping it up to the "Eric The Red' levels and kill him (as we see in the scans he isn't afraid of killing). Bloodwraith is a mean player, but Adam has the ability to take him down.
And if Bloodwraith is still huge, then Adam still gets it. This simply means that he'll 'find' wraith immediately and be able to hide away and get close enough to go all out on the dude's toe or something. I know that he'd be more resiliant, but all it takes is a pinprick for Adam's powers to work, and once he gets him open Adam wins. He can fry all of the Wraith. In X-Force Annual two it's said that Adam's burning is infinite, no matter the size of the wound, so Wraith's size won't matter.
I think I've stated my case well enough. If someone like Deadpool can land punches and wind or wound Bloodwraith, then Adam shouldn't have any problems with it either, and as soon as a wound is made, the match is over and Adam wins.
Winner - Adam X
