Who Would Win? #5: Black Panther vs Bullseye
The first thing we must discern is what Bullseye would need to do to break through the armor of the Black Panther. A bullet obviously wouldnât do the âtrickâ (a reference to Bullseyeâs famous tag line used before a kill; âAnd for my next trick...â), and neither would a playing card. However, throughout the canon 616 Marvel universe, it is shown that small, sharp objects can break through the mesh of vibranium that protects the Wakandan king. A bludgeoning object might also work, like a nightstick. The best angle would probably be the sharp object, as Bullseye is more proficient with knives and daggers than heavier weapons. A dagger could be thrown or be used at melee range, whereas a club or nightstick would restrict Bullseyeâs attacks to a few feet away from a fatal enemy. If Bullseye stays far away, Black Panther could attack him with his most popular ranged weapon: his energy blades. For those of you who have never heard of these weird-sounding new-fangled contraptions, hereâs a quote from Super Hero DB that might help: âWith an ornate hilt carved of ivory or some kind of stone, and an energy-generated blade that can be set to stun or kill. The energy blades can be handled like either a physical knife or fired like darts, and regenerated repeatedly.â If set to kill, Bullseye would have to rely on his own dodging skills, for fear of his life. And while a thrown knife might make Black Panther bleed, it wouldnât do as much damage as it would to you or me. Even a thrown shot to the heart might not kill. No, Bullseye would need quite a few hits for the Wakandan warrior to meet his match. This is all in the case that Black Panther couldnât count on his, you know, ARMY OF THOUSANDS OF WELL-TRAINED FIGHTERS. This fight is just Black Panther vs Bullseye. So, what should each of their strategies be? Well, for Black Panther, a good strategy would be to get up close. Let me explain. The Pantherâs weapons contain his claws, strength, grenades, and previously mentioned energy blades/darts. He also has a shield of kenetic energy that could fire Bullseyeâs attacks back at him. As for Bullseye, well, anything that doesnât kill you makes you stronger, as the saying goes. But if Bullseye is trying to stay back and Tâchalla (Black Panther) is advancing, Bullseye has to knife him multiple times before the Panther catches up. And this is where everything comes into consideration. How far away are they when they begin the fight? If theyâre closer the Black Panther will make contact with Bullseye sooner. How many knives does Bullseye have? The more hits, the better the chances of death. There are many more things to consider, but since this is getting pretty long, Iâll make some assumptions. Even if the Black Panther was only twenty feet away, Bullseye rarely misses a shot, and heâs lightning quick. By the time the speedy Panther got to the expert assassin, more than three knives could have broken through the flesh of Tâchalla. As much as I tried, I canât think of a way that the Panther would win. As sad as I am to see him go, these are the rules of the championship. And as much as you might want to hate me for this...please donât.
