Tsunade vs. Luke Cage (Marvel)

[EvilMoogle]

I'm feeling sorry for Tsunade constantly getting matched up against people she has no chance against, so I've got a match that they should be closer to the same level:

Tsunade (Naruto)

Jutsu/Kekkei genkai

* Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) (Slugs)
* Shōsen Jutsu (Mystical Palm Technique)
* Tsūtenkyaku (Painful Sky Leg)
* Sōzō Saisei (Creation Rebirth)
* Infūin: Kai (Shadow Seal: Release)
* Ranshinshō (Important Body Points Disturbance)
* Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)


vs.


Luke Cage (Marvel)

Luke Cage possesses superhuman strength, endurance, and resistance to injury as a result of his participation in dangerous (and highly controversial) experiments while in prison. In the begining, Luke Cage had sufficient strength to lift (press) 3 tons over his head. His power has seemingly increased since then, possibly in the 30-ton range.

This same experiment has fortified the various tissues of Cage's body, granting him a high degree of resistance to injury. Cage's skin is harder than titanium and can resist high caliber bullets, puncture wounds, corrosives, and extreme temperatures and pressures without sustaining damage. Even though Cage is practically invulnerable to conventional weaponry, it is possible to injure him with armor piercing bullets or adamantium weapons. The same experiment that granted him his great strength and durability, however, has dramatically increased his ability to heal. His recovery time from trauma is roughly 1/3 that of an ordinary human.

Luke Cage is an exceptional street fighter and was a gifted athlete before he became superhumanly endowed.


I'm going to guess that Tsunade's about on the same level raw strength wise. Her fighting skills are probably better than Luke's, but Luke has a much higher degree of durability.

I would probably give this to Tsunade if she can find a way to finish off Luke before she runs out of Chakra. If it becomes a long drawn out fight, Luke will endure better.

Judging from that crazy Gamabunta sword lift, I'd say she's on the same level, or better strength... I'm sure Tsunade can find a way.

If she can't get past his super tough exterior with a body blow, which is arguable, she should still be able to disable him with that electrical disabling move she used on Kabuto.

I would say Cage isn't quite fast enough to kick Tsunade around, and she could probably take a few blows if he managed to.

Since we don't really know the extent of Tsunade's abilities, we can't say for sure what she'd do, other than punch him. If his skull isn't also as strong as titanium, a punch from her to the head would shatter his skull, and liquify his brain, even if the skin is left mostly intact.

She could always resort to that slug and acid him...I guess.

If she can't get past the defense, at this point it'd be a tie. But I'm banking on Tsunade.

[Tousenz]

Luke Cage. No doubt in my mind.

Tsunade just doesn't seem that strong.

[unknowndanex]

Luke Cage shouldn't have much of a problem with that fight.

[Arilou]

Luke Cage is *tough*

To quote from (I believe it was the Pulse)
(Cage comes out of a HUGE explosion.)
*Spider-man looks at him*
Cage. "Unbreakable skin."
Spiey: "You ought to get some unbreakable pants!"

[CABLE]

Well, If it was merely fist fighting Power Man might win. Remeber, Tsunade is extremely adept taijustu user and Cage pretty much just uses street fighting. However if Tsunade used other jutsus like summons or what not she could easily take this.

:oh Only way to harm him is using a weapon made of adamantium? Do they have that in Narutoverse? I think not. Armor piercing bullets? Guns? In Naruto? I think not. :oh

There could, of course, be some kind of genjutsu or other jutsu that can harm him, but that's just guessing it. With the info I have, I'd say Cage, or whatever his name is, wins. :nuts

Only way to break his skin is with Adamantium or reallly strong weapons. Bludgenoning attacks would still hurt him though he's quite tough in this manner as well.

I quite agree that if Tsunade tried to trade hits with him, she'd lose, however she has a few attacks that would be effective against him. The Nerve disruption attack she used against Kabato for example.

I can't see Tsunade running into any problems in the short fight, her only issues will come up if she can't find a way to put him down for the count before she runs out of Chakra.

Her snail could run him over and suffocate him.

[Green Lantern]

Luke Cage can be beaten quite easily- even though his skin is unbreakable, if you read Secret Wars III, it is shown that he can suffer from internal injuries, and bleed to death inside, as no one can operate on him

All Tsunade has to do is to summon her slug and crush his body. His skin etc will hold up, but his internal organs will be crushed, and when that happens, no doctor will be able to save him.

[Tsuuga]

Tsunade is a lot less durable than Luke Cage... she'll have to pull some crazy jutsu to not get hit. However, there's no way Cage will bleed, so she shouldn't freak out from the hemophobia.

Can chakra pierce Cage's skin?

Hemmorages still apply to the not so powerful power man.

Superman/that guy from super man isn't marvel. Actually Marvel has many diverse and different characters. of all the characters you listed, the only one whos only power is super strength is the Hulk.

Dude, you basically listed just about everyone with Super-Strength :p

[konflikti]

You know, DC and Marvel pretty much are behind the orginal characters. Even though it might not seem that way anymore.
