MCU Fight: Cull Obsidian vs Abomination

[BigThor]

We will be doing VS. battles for the MCU every week and will be using the Winners and Losers to create an accurate power tier list created by some of it's biggest fans (you). So don't forget to VOTE and after voting for a Winner please include a comment on which power tier, both the Winner and Loser should reside within. Also, see below for more details on the characters abilities as well as for a list of available power tiers to choose from.

Don't forget to put which Tier group you think Thor and Ultron Prime belong to in your posts.

So, without further delay here is this week's match up

CULL OBSIDIAN Vs. ABOMINATION

ABOMINATION

- Superhuman Strength: Immense strength enables him to hurl normal humans and cars great distances, easily tear through brick buildings, and even to kick Hulk through a building. Displayed noticeably superior strength to Hulk for a period of time. (Keep in mind, this IS canon, thus the same Hulk as from the Avengers, Age of Ultron, Ragnarok etc).

- Superhuman Speed: Due to the Super Soldier Serum Blonsky's speed was noticeably higher than that of an ordinary human. When running, Blonsky could easily outpace an army platoon, and even Hulk seemed to have trouble keeping up with him. Even after Blonsky was transformed, he is still able to move at speeds greater than of a normal human, as he was able to chase down a damaged Humvee with ease.

- Superhuman Durability: Abomination's bodily tissues, much like Hulk's, are substantially harder and more resistant to injury than the tissues of an ordinary human. His durability is enhanced to a high degree, and he apparently suffered no ill effects from burning and explosions. He was able to withstand high-caliber bullets and even Hulk's melee attacks.

- Superhuman Endurance: As a super-soldier, he was able to run faster and fight for a long time without tiring. As Abomination, Blonksy's highly advanced musculature produces vastly less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. He is capable of physically exerting himself at peak capacity for several days before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.

- Regenerative Healing Factor: As a super-soldier, Blonsky's regenerative healing factor allowed him to recuperate from extensive injuries in the space of a day, including fractures throughout his entire skeleton. His super-soldier healing factor was much more advanced than any other recipient of the Super Soldier Serum, meaning that all the super-soldiers took different variants. This is proven by the fact that Blonsky regenerated from extensive physical traumas within the space of a day, whereas Rogers would take a week or less to recover from such injuries. After taking a blood transfusion from Hulk, his advanced healing factor was further enhanced, allowing him to heal at the same rate as Hulk, which is already a very high rate of regeneration. This makes him seemingly invulnerable and potentially immortal.

- Retractable Skeletal Spikes: Abomination possesses sharp spikes on his arms, elbows, back, and feet. These emerged through Blonsky's transformation acted as weapons when Abomination was in battle with Hulk. The sharp spike on his elbow was used to cause a deep wound on Hulk´s chest, cutting right through the latter's extremely durable skin.


CULL OBSIDIAN

- Superhuman Strength: As a result of his great size, Cull Obsidian possessed an incredible level of superhuman strength and was seemingly able to match that of the Hulk, as indicated by Cull intending to fight the Hulk for his master Thanos when Hulk attacked the Mad Titan. Cull's strength indeed allowed him to fight on par with, and even overpower, the Hulkbuster, a weapon that was able to defeat the Hulk, though it should be noted that it had already taken damage from several Outriders. In fact, Cull was strong enough to easily rip the Hulkbuster's arm off.

- Superhuman Durability: Cull Obsidian possessed great levels of superhuman durability, taking numerous blows from Iron Man's enhanced nanotech suit, the Hulkbuster armor, and even a full blast of Black Panther's kinetic energy projection, all with absolutely no sign of harm. However, Cull's durability appears to have a maximum limit, since he was destroyed when Bruce Banner's detached Hulkbuster arm lifted and dragged Cull into the intense energy of Wakanda's barrier.

- Combatant: Despite his ferociousness and recklessness, Cull Obsidian was a highly formidable and accomplished combatant, who used his massive size and strength to great effect. His skill allowed him to overpower Iron Man and fight off both him and Spider-Man, with only Wong's interference of opening a portal to send him to another place preventing him from killing Iron Man. During the Battle of Wakanda, Cull easily overpowered and slayed many Wakandan warriors and even managed to go toe-to-toe with and dominate Bruce Banner in the Hulkbuster, only being defeated when the latter outsmarted him.

- Cull Obsidian's Hammer: Cull Obsidian utilized a massive multi-tool like weapon that had a wide range of abilities. It was primarily used as a hammer and the head of the hammer could be launched attached to a chain to hit targets at a distance. It also possessed a claw like function, being capable of grabbing targets. It could also transform into a shield that was capable of deflecting energy blasts. The upper half of the device can also be launched as a snare while the rest can turn into a long blade.

- Cybernetic Arm: Cull Obsidian had his left forearm replaced with a prosthetic, having lost it when it was trapped in a magic portal that was closed by Wong, severing his arm. The prosthetic is capable of turning into a short blade.

This is a tough one since we never actually got to see Hulk come out in Infinity War and face Cull.


But I tend to lean towards Abomination. The regeneration probably being the deciding factor. I imagine they both would do massive damage to each other but only one can heal on the spot and I think accumulative damage would eventually overcome Cull.

I think Cull's weapons would even the playing field with Abomination's healing factor.

True.

But If Abomination can get hold of some bollard bolla's again he could do work lol

 

[Spider-Fan]

I would go with Abomb mainly because he seemed like a more skilled fighter. Cull seemed sloppy.

 

[BigThor]

Lol man, people really don't think much of Cull Obsidian.

 

[Thör-El]

Definitely Abomination. The guy was equal/borderline superior to Hulk in strength/durability and was a skilled super soldier even before he became gamma powered. Granted Hulk's got much stronger since then but still.

Cull on the other hand had his killer blow to Iron Man caught by Spider-Man fairly casually (hey Mr Stark!) and was knocked down by a single kinetically charged Black Panther punch and I can't see either of those things happening to Abomination.
Going by the Cull vs Bleeding Edge Iron Man and Cull vs Hulkbuster fights Cull does well when he can rely on having a big strength advantage but isn't that impressive when he's fighting someone in his own strength class. Banner was holding his own/managed to beat him and the guy was tripping up/struggling to pilot the Hulkbuster 15 minutes before that.

I have got to Agree. Hulk was about equal to Abomination in their fight. They fought a hard battle. Hulk also had a difficult battle with a well piloted Hulkbuster Iron Man Armor. In both cases the battles were close making it feel like an argument could be made that....

Abomination is roughly equal to Hulk who is roughly equal to a well piloted Hulkbuster Iron Man.

And if this was true then you could also say.

Abomination is Roughly equal to Hulkbuster Iron Man

As for Cull Obsidian he was barely doing ok against a poorly Piloted Hulkbuster Iron Man and if it had been Tony there, instead of Bruce, then Cull would have been in even more trouble.

At least thats how I see it.

[Luigi]

Blonsky would make short work of Cull.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Got to give this one to Abom, he seemed to be able to take much more punishment than Cull did and Abom also seemed stronger.

 

[ernesth100]

Cull would annihilate Abom. Especially if he has his multi-purpose weapon. He's stronger, more durable, and just as tactically smart.

 

[Docker2.0]

I think Cull's weapons would even the playing field with Abomination's healing factor.

That's my deciding factor as well. I got Cull winning but barely.

 

[lordofthenerds]

Abomination; healing powers, plus him nearly beating down the Hulk was pretty impressive. And I think Thor and Ultron Prime are in the right spot.
