For tonight's versus, we have the two best and most dangerous former sidekicks in the history of comics. The most talented and loved protégé of the Dark Knight himself, the former boy wonder, Nightwing, facing off against the only protégé of Captain America, Bucky Barnes, a.k.a, the Winter Soldier.
Powers:
Nightwing: Nightwing's childhood experiences as a circus acrobat and trapeze artist make him extremely agile. He is a superior fighter and has been trained by Batman and the Teen Titans in many forms of self-defense. Nightwing is a keen detective, and is driven to seek out adventure in the name of justice. Nightwing uses Escrima sticks to defend himself, and can be put together to form a bo staff. Also, his wrist and boot gauntlets contain smoke pellets, flares, and other items.
Winter Soldier: An Olympic level athlete with extraordinary skills, the Winter Soldier is also a superb marksman. His cybernetic arm also gives him super strength.
Showdown:
Let me start by saying, wow. This match-up was one that I thought up while trying to fight a medicine-induced haze of sleep. Two of the most talented protégé in the world of comics engaged in battle. Diving right into it, I'm going to say flat out, I think that this match will end in a draw. Sure, the Winter Soldier has super strength in his cybernetic arm, but Nightwing is extremely agile, able to dodge and evade most things the average human couldn't. Strangely enough, if it came down to direct hand-to-hand combat, it wouldn't stop until one of them dropped from exhaustion, Winter Soldier managed to actually shoot and kill Nightwing, or unless Nightwing broke a couple of bones in his normal limbs.
