Wolverine's tummy doesn't have the metal that lines the bulk of his skeletal frame. Shield or no shield, Cap beats the angry runt.

Remember not to apply too much real world analysis to comic book hand to hand combat. Wins and losses in comics are very much driven by the story and while it is fun to debate who would win scenarios the fighting that takes place in comic books is a far cry from what we would see if our heroes were real people. In the last couple of decades fighting has been distilling strategies and movements down into ever more efficient actions. If comic book artists had characters fighting in the most believable ways possible then it might look very boring on the page.

I think situations can be invented that give each of these four characters an advantage that justifies them winning against any of the others. But generally speaking, I think Batman seems to have the most situations where he is the winner.

Below are some of the numbers I cobbled together, with Captain America forming the baseline, as he is described as the epitome of human physiology.

Mass is a big factor in any combat and in Captain America’s case, his greater mass does not diminish any other factor. JB’s character Puck would have an advantage over all the characters, because he would have a great deal of experience fighting taller opponents, far more than the tall characters have fighting shorter characters. The height difference is something the female characters could also exploit. Any character with greater than human range strength has a huge advantage over any weaker opponents. Super strong or massive characters would do well to grapple with their opponents and use their strength to break bones or rupture joints. Their strength and some knowledge of nerve cluster locations could be used to injure even the heaviest muscled opponents.

Batman with a utility belt doesn’t loose.

I wish I could consider Tarzan to have human range strength, but anyone who can match or exceed the strength of a full grown male gorilla or lion is outside the human range.

Although most definitions of athleticism are physical aspects, here I am using it more for the talent, mental and commitment aspects.

I started by setting attributes for Captain America to 100 as the character is defined as the epitome of human physical abilities.
