|    How Buffy Could Defeat Most of the Aveng    |

      From: daviderl666@gmail.com              https://www.theyoungfolks.com/review/162340/buffy-avengers-fight/              How Buffy Could Beat Half the Avengers in a Fair fight               [too long for the entire text; go to link for full article with comparisons       of the weaker Avengers]              Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s titular character has what it takes to not only       be an Avenger, but to win against most of them in 1:1 battle. No, seriously.              Buffy and her eventual “Scooby gang” go on to fight more than just       vampires. Together, she and her friends took on monsters, ghouls, demons,       robots, and even the government!              THE POWER OF BUFFY              To understand her superiority over MCU’s Avengers (referring only to those       in the first film of the tetralogy), one must understand Buffy’s powers. The       opening credits of every episode assert, “Into every generation a slayer is       born: one girl in        all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to       fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of       their evil and the swell of their number. She is the Slayer.”              So let’s review the specifics. Buffy’s supernatural gifts as the chosen       one include super strength, super speed, superhuman senses, accelerated       healing, heightened agility, heightened reflexes, and hand-to-hand/weapons       combat skills. Barring Thor and        Hulk, these powers give Buffy a one-up on over half of the Avengers.                [No super speed that I ever saw.]               Buffy was adequately trained by her mentor, Rupert Giles, quite literally       with her eyes closed. She is seen a handful of times throughout Season 1       hitting targets and catching sharp items while blindfolded.               Buffy Summers has the capacity, competence, aptitude, and ability to       overpower four out of six Avengers. And that’s not even getting into the       later entries. Falcon? Ant-Man? Rocket Raccoon? Needless to say, Buffy has       little to fear unless your        name is Scarlett Witch, Vision, or Captain Marvel.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
