Hercules (KYTRIGGER) bio
vs.
Warpath (AHURA MAZDA) bio
Hey Ahura, before I start, I just want to let you know that I am going on vacation Sunday morning, so Saturday night might be the last time I get to debate. What I'll probably do is Saturday night I'll just make my closing comments in regards to all of our many points of disagreement. Obviously, you can refute them as much as you want until voting, but I just wanted to let you know that while I will try and get to a computer, there is a good chance I won't respond. And now, on with the debate!!!
Warpath is a very good character with many strong attributes, but unfortunately he is just outclassed by Hercules.
Warpath has Class 75 strength...Hercules Class 100 strength.
Warpath is known as a good fighter...Hercules is known as one of the best in the Marvel U. Even Thor has stated himself that Hercules is better than him at hand to hand combat.
Hercules has his Golden Mace, which is as durable as Mjolinor...While Warpath
recently has two Vibranium Knives (which he is quite good at using) he doesn't have them for this match. Those were given to him after M Day.
The only area in which Warpath has a slight advantage over Hercules is that he can fly. Unfortunately this isn't that big of an advantage really. Warpath still needs to be in close for hand-to-hand combat because he has no long range weapons, just his hands. Also, Hdrcules has dealt with flyers before, and ones that fly far more often (such as Frankie Raye when she was a Herald of Galactus). So he is more than adept at facing a flying foe before.
As for prep time, both would know who the other is. Even though this is Warpath not in X-Men, he was still with X-Corporation, which is connected to X-men so I am sure he can see their files on Hercules. even if he couldn't, it freaking Hercules, everyone knows him anyway.
Now Hercules was a former Avenger and could look at their old data files and find info on him either as Warpath, his old name Thunderbird II, or just thorugh his real name of Proudstar. Either way, both would know what they are dealing with.
When the fight goes down, it won't be pretty. Hercules owns Warpath both in strength and fighting ability, and has a ridiculously strong weapon. Warpath might get away at first and start throwing boulders at Hercules, but that won't really do any good seeing as how he could just catch them and throw them back/crush them. Eventually Hercules would get to him againand it would be lights out for Warpath.
Warpath is good, but he can't stand up to a guy that has repeatedly taken on Namor, Thor and Hulk.
Winner-Hercules
EDIT: I'd like to point out, so nobody else is confused when reading this debate, that while Warpath does indeed take place after M-Day, he does not have use of his knives since he got them in the ongoing storyline.
