Exodus vs Maestro

As powerful as Maestro is, Exodus has all he needs to defeat him.

Exodus can use various psionic attacks ranging from physical blasts to mental attacks. Telepathically, Exodus is on par with Charles Xavier. This means he has the power to attack Maestro on a mental level from a nice and safe distance.

Of course, attacking the Hulk mentally is always an iffy proposition. But if he can just keep Maestro off balance with hallucinations or emotional control, it only increases Exodus' advantage.

But, regardless of how the fight goes, Exodus has a way out. All he has to do is grab Maestro in a telekinetic field and fling him away from the battleground for a ring-out. Cheap but, against a Hulk, you take any chance for victory you can get.

This completely ignores that when Exodus faced the Hulk and this was a normal Hulk he was defeated one on one. And just to add a bit to that, Exodus had ample prep time as well as he knew Hulk was coming for him. After hulk defeated his minions, he fought through Exodus' shields and threw him out of the palace after having knocked him out.

The Maestro would fare even better as he is crueller and has considerably more base line strength.

Exodus was the governor of Australia until his forces began rounding up humans into camps, and they stumbled upon Bruce Banner (the Hulk), though Magneto had warned Exodus to leave the aboriginal tribes alone. The Hulk made his way to Sydney and literally toppled Exodus's government, throwing Exodus down off his palace tower. Exodus apparently survived and Magneto later offered to let him return to his position, but Banner declined to abdicate.

Hulk wins

The House of M fight can't be used because they have no memory of it (I think). It would be a good indication of who would win this fight except for the fact that these are two very different characters.

This Exodus knows about the Hulk and probably how to fight him. That means keeping his distance and attacking from out of range.

And if the fight starts to go badly for the mutant, all Exodus has to do is telekinetically fling Maestro out of the battlefield. That wouldn't work in a normal battle (or House of M) because Maestro would just come back. But in this case, it give Exodus the match.

I don't see how these are two very different characters. Maestro is an evolution of a Hulk which has absorbed more radiation and has cruel. Exodus was the same in House of M. I have the comic and remember reading it.

This Exodus knows about the Hulk and probably how to fight him. That means keeping his distance and attacking from out of range.

The other Exodus also learnned about the Hulk from Pyro who was helping him out. Exodus attempted to do what you suggest but the Hulk fought through it (he punched through the shields and proved impervious to Exodus' psychic abilities. It is canon. The hulk defeated him and the Hulk was weaker then Maestro.

And if the fight starts to go badly for the mutant, all Exodus has to do is telekinetically fling Maestro out of the battlefield. That wouldn't work in a normal battle (or House of M) because Maestro would just come back. But in this case, it give Exodus the match.

Exodus was not able to do that to the Hulk and would have a tougher time of it against the Maestro. Again I stand by what happenned in the Comics in continuity, The Hulk defeated (soundly I may add) Exodus and Maestro would do the same.


Maestro wins

My vote goes for Exodus

In my opinion, the HOM was a horrible representation of Exodus and he was written well below his abilities. And neither would remember the House of M, as they weren't any of the ones awakened by Layla Miller. Maestro would know nothing about Exodus, though Exodus would know Hulk and could prepare decently against him. He's also very smart and very experienced. My opinion, Maestro doesn't stand a chance.
