Top 10 Superheroes Too Dark For The MCU

Okay fellas, we want a clean fight. No guns, super powers, or weaponized suits of armor. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we’re counting down our Top 10 Superheroes With the Best Fighting Ability. For this list, we'll be counting down the most technically proficient hand to hand fighters in the comic book world. Anti-heroes will also be permitted but villains however will be saved for another list.

As deadly as she can be with a bladed weapon, you'd do best to not underestimate her fists. Having trained for most of her life as an assassin, Elektra is a talented figher who can give even the best heroes a run for their money. Her roots in ancient martial arts, most notably ninjutsu, have conditioned her to near superhuman levels. Her speed coupled with her cutthroat intuition makes her exceptionally deadly, and her extensive history with The Hand boast her ability to take down anyone she comes in contact with.

No one can be a boy wonder forever. There aren't many that can say they've gone toe to toe with Batman and didn't get their butts handed to them. Having trained under the watchful eye of Bruce Wayne since the age of eight, formerly as his sidekick Robin, Dick has been taught everything one needs to know to becoming an ass-kicking vigilante. Add to the fact that Nightwing's first words were likely “trapeze,” opponents would soon learn the true meaning of “Flying Grayson” as his acrobatic fighting style is difficult to counter.

They don't call her “the deadliest woman in the galaxy” for nothing. Human heroes may have trained under the best martial artists on Earth, but Gamora has sparred with the most notorious in the galaxy. If it isn't her massive body count that intimidates you, it will most certainly be the fact that she was raised by none other than the Mad Titan, Thanos. What sets Gamora apart from most hand to hand fighters is that she's particularly vicious and isn't scared to exploit her opponent's weak points, and do what ever it takes to come out on top.

#7: Spider-Man

Float like a butterfly, sting like a spider? There is no simple way to describe Spider-Man's fighting ability, but it's evident to tell that he's in a league of his own. With the acrobatic ability of a gymnast and the instinct of a ninja, Peter Parker can be considered much more than a wise-cracking web-slinger. Spider-sense or not, Spider-Man’s fighting ability goes beyond his spider-based powers. He excels in not only using his opponent's strength against them, but leveraging his surroundings with quick thinking being as important to his skill set as his reflexes.

#6: Captain America

How many rounds do you think this super-soldier can go? While his musculature and heightened physical ability comes thanks to secret government technology, Captain America's extensive knowledge of hand to hand combat has all come through years of experience. Rogers excels at nearly all forms of martial arts, but will primarily stick to styles popularized in America. While his fits do most of the talking, Cap is a lot more nimble and acrobatic than he looks, and he definitely wont hesitate to polish his boots with a bad guy’s face.

#5: Black Panther

Becoming the Black Panther is something that T’Challa wasn’t only born into, but earned. The title grants him not only leadership of his country, but access to the generational experience of all those that came before him. Through tireless training, T'Challa has been able to master a wide array of African martial arts as well as creating his own hybrid; one that draws on his primal abilities. Black Panther's natural hunting skill has also sharpened his senses to superhuman levels, which is bad news for those he considers prey.

Probably the most well trained fighter on the list, Rand’s reflexes, focus and will are at the peak of superhuman potential and his prowess is credited to the mastering of the K'un L'un martial arts.

#3: Wolverine

Best to not make this one angry. His appearance may lead you to forget that Wolverine has been alive since the 1800's, giving him over 100 years of ass-kicking experience. His fighting style is savage and animalistic, making him the ultimate predator and a nightmare to his opponents. Defeating a combatant such as Wolverine will be a lot harder than making him tap-out, as his healing factor has brought him back from such torturous conditions, pain ever hardly registers.

#2: Batman
