Marvel superheroes, or pretty much any brand's superheroes for that matter, have god-like powers if you actually look into the things the comics/other sources of canon say. Chief would never stand a chance. Chief isn't a superhero. He's just an enhanced man. Granted, Captain America is too, but the science magic he was infused with had more plot magic in it than Chief's. [quote]This accounts for many of his extraordinary feats, including bench pressing 1200 pounds (545 kg) and running a mile (1.6 km) in 73 seconds (49 mph/78 kph).[/quote] [quote]In canon, he is regarded by other skilled fighters as one of the best hand-to-hand combatants in the Marvel Universe, limited only by his human physique[/quote] [quote]Captain America's uniform is made of a fire-retardant material, and he wears a lightweight, bulletproof "duralumin" scale armor beneath his uniform for added protection[/quote] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America#Powers_and_abilities]Source[/url] [quote]◾Peak Human Reflexes: Rogers' reflexes border on superhuman level. His reaction speed is 20 kph, which makes it possible for him to dodge gunfire even in point blank range from multiple gunners at the same time. [/quote] [quote]◾Peak Human Durability: His bones and muscles are denser and harder than normal, to the highest human potential, which makes him very durable compared to a normal human. He is durable enough to the point that if a person beats him with a thick wooden stick, the stick would eventually break and Rogers would show little discomfort. This level of durability is how he survived other forms of extensive punishment throughout his career such as falls from several stories like when he landed on a car from 6000cm/200 feet with no discomfort. [u][b]Roger's durability is high enough to where he can take blows from beings with low superhuman strength, and not be fatally injured.[/b][/u] [/quote] [url=http://marvel.wikia.com/Captain_America_(Steven_Rogers)]Source[/url] That's just from a quick Google search. Chief wouldn't stand much of a chance... Chief has guns and above average strength, but Cap can dodge gunfire and has some of the best hand to hand skills in all the Marvel universe so I doubt Cap would lose.

  • Despite the evidence provided, you completely disregard that Chief is far quicker and definitely stronger, Captain America can bench 1,200 pounds? Doesn't mean he is capable of picking up the chief who weighs in excess in over a ton. Basing off his strength on bench, Cap can't even lift Chief. Cap isn't even faster and not anywhere near as quick or explosive. The chief can confuse computers with his speed. The spartans could run over 55mph after only a week or two from surgery, as kids. Cap could only block the Chiefs punches, and would never be able to hit him. In canon, Spartans are essentially super heroes. People look at the games and think Oh big guys in armor" when in reality Sparatns can't tear muscles, fracture or dislocate bones, and heal quicker than any other lifefrom in the Halo universe. Chief was operating with severely damaged organs and taking out hulking alien bastards with fair ease (He wrestled a brute, who are faster and stronger than any spartan or elite and won because of superior dexterity and surviving blows any hunter would fall to). You cannot kill a fully equpped spartan in close quarters. Only one spartan ever fell to that; no shields or weapon, took hammer from a brute's gravity hammer straight to the chest; and that isn't even fully canon, only the basic outline is. Cap's only advantage is his shield. That is still one hell of an advantage...one he could never use however. John would catch it with ease. Dodge it. Could throw it better than Cap. I don't know how much it would damage his armor though. It only weighs about 50 pounds, John would have no trouble do what he pleased with it other than damaging it. It's only slightly stronger than true adamantium, so nearly indestructible. Chief wins. Fairly easily. He's the winter soldier’s bitch for Christ sake... Please try to be unbias.

  • [quote]you completely disregard that Chief is far quicker and definitely stronger[/quote] Stronger, yes. Quicker, lolno. [quote]Captain America can bench 1,200 pounds? Doesn't mean he is capable of picking up the chief who weighs in excess in over a ton. Basing off his strength on bench, Cap can't even lift Chief[/quote] John weighs half a ton in his armor. Cap could definitely pick him up if he had to. [quote]The chief can confuse computers with his speed[/quote] Cap can dodge lasers. [quote]Cap could only block the Chiefs punches, and would never be able to hit him[/quote] Cap's taken down Spider-Man in the past. He'd be able to keep up with John without too much trouble. [quote]in reality Sparatns can't tear muscles, fracture or dislocate bones[/quote] Exactly that happened in "First Strike". [quote]Chief was operating with severely damaged organs and taking out hulking alien bastards with fair ease (He wrestled a brute, who are faster and stronger than any spartan or elite and won because of superior dexterity and surviving blows any hunter would fall to).[/quote] Which is impressive and all, but Cap's taken on the Hulk and lived to tell about it. He's taken punches from Iron Man and kept fighting. [quote]You cannot kill a fully equpped spartan in close quarters[/quote] Tell that to Emile and Cal. [quote]Cap's only advantage is his shield[/quote] And faster reflexes. And superior skill. And more combat experience. John is a tough guy, and definitely a badass, but none of his advantages are anything Cap hasn't beaten before, and Cap's advantages are nothing John's ever had to fight before. [quote]I don't know how much it would damage his armor though. It only weighs about 50 pounds[/quote] More like 800 pounds. [quote]It's only slightly stronger than true adamantium, so nearly indestructible.[/quote] How durable the shield is varies by story. Sometimes it's only as durable as adamantium, sometimes it's [i]much[/i] more durable, but it sometimes get broken just to show how powerful the latest bad guy is. Case in point, the Serpent.

  • Holy Hell... Cap's shield weighs 800 lbs?!

  • What? No, I was talking about MJOLNIR. If he was referring to Cap's shield, it's much lighter than 50 pounds.

  • Oh. Yes, I believe the guy replying to me was saying Cap's shield wouldn't damage Chief's armor because the shield only ways a small fraction of whatever MJOLNIR ways.
