Who would be the last superhero standing in a bar room brawl?

He's not quite as lame as you'd guess from his name.

If it's a barroom brawl, there should only be punching, kicking, wrestling etc., no blades, guns or gadgets.

Flash bombs? Acid? Tear gas? Non of those other suckers ever think to bring a gas mask.

The Bat will get the job done, whatever it takes. Not even Superman's might can match Batman's wit.

*This is a barroom brawl*... you're allowed barroom-brawl style weapons (fists, chairs, bottles, possibly knives)

Yea- and the awesome women just use their charms and defeat the hormone driven men without even throwing one punch.

No acid?

Turbo · Jul 28, 2003

What if someone just happened to have some exploding gas bombs on his person?

.Ant · Jul 28, 2003

Then we could say that about any superhero... perhaps Wolverine just happened to be wearing haste boots, or howard the duck just happened to have a kryptonite-uzi in his pocket...

Turbo · Jul 28, 2003

But Batman is the only one who characteristically carries such things. It's not uncommon for him to keep a little kryptonite handy, either.

Howard the Duck, on the other hand, wouldn't even conceive of carrying kryptonite, being published by Marvel and all.

.Ant · Jul 28, 2003

Yeah, I guess that's fair enough for Batman, since his equipment is his "special power".

lucybelle · Jul 29, 2003

Um...I think I would be the last super hero standing...

What's up with all these votes for Wolverine? We're not asking who your favorite superhero is, we're asking who would win in a barfight. It would be the Silver Surfer -- wielder of the Power Cosmic and former herald of Galactus.

Turbo · Jul 30, 2003

I agree with OEJ. Wolverine is no match for the Silver Surfer. Silver Surfer is in a whole different class.

.Ant · Jul 30, 2003

Wolverine would win if no-one was allowed superpowers or special equipment.

Here is a little info on the Silver Surfer.

Turbo · Jul 31, 2003

He can't even transmute elements? Wow... what a wimp!

Hmmm....He has 'Godlike' stamina huh....nope...I won't say it...

Turbo · Jul 31, 2003

Godlike stamina? Didn't the Silver Surfer's series get cancelled?

But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations. Psalm 102:12

One Eyed Jack · Jul 31, 2003

Understand that the Marvel universe is only fiction, and when they say 'godlike,' they're referring to characteristics possessed by those such as Thor or Zeus.

Come on y'all, I get enough flack as it is...

Turbo · Jul 31, 2003

HAHA!

Actually, I'm sure (post-Crisis) Superman is no match for the Surfer, so my argument, which is based on Batman being able to overcome Superman) is a bit weak. (If only the Freak could pen a concession like that.)

But it's fun rooting for the underdog.

Seriously, though... Why was the Surfer invited to this fight?

I can't believe I just typed the words "post-Crisis." I'll bet the whole reason Knight started this thread was to find out who the dorks are.
