Yep.

I think The Mandarin takes this poll, the way he was written as to be able to destroy Iron mans armor with a karate chop then he is surely the martial arts master, by the way there are some fantastic fights between Iron man and the Mandarin in the Haunted story line by Daniel and Charlie Knauf.
They may have made him a laughing stock in the movies but he is a bad ass in the comics.

I can't remember where I read this, but I still remember reading: Shang Chi, Greatest practitioner of Martial Arts in the Marvel Universe....

(Maybe it was in those official marvel handbooks, don't know.)

If I remember correctly, it said there that Danny Rand was no. 2, and Captain America no. 3.

Wolverine wasn't even in that list. Not until his so-called "retcon" anyway. At first he was just a brawler, a berserker. No fighting finesse at all. I still have a few of those comics...

And the Punisher is "just" a well-trained Marine...Don't get me wrong, the guy is bad-@$$, but against guys like Danny Rand and the Captain, he just can't compete.

Cap uses Martial arts many times during his fights, arm locks, palm strikes, elbows, kicks, throws, blocks etc.

I'd pretty much agree, except that when Iron Fist went up against Cap back in his first series, by Claremont and Byrne, Cap basically handed Rand his head. Iron Fist simply couldn't cope with Cap's (yes, enhanced, but still peak human) skills, speed and strength without resorting to his use of the iron fist strike.

Good point with Taskmaster. Guess it depends on whether you consider photographic reflexes a super power. I'd put him on the list.


Wolverine gets my biased vote. Just can't count the man out...can't do it.
