HanSolo69's "Comic Book Balls of Steel" Edges

Melee: While the KA-BAR is a superb combat knife, and the bat is not slouch either, the Joker just has more options. The joy buzzer gives him the element of surprise, while his knives and the crowbar counter the KA-BAR and the bat. Edge: Joker

Short Range: This one is incredibly easy. You have a six-shot revolver against TWO superior handguns? Edge: Punisher

Mid Range: While the MAC-10 has a higher rate of fire, the Tommy Gun has the same round, a larger magazine, and a stock, which will definitely give him an edge in the battle. Edge: Joker

Long Range: Frank has been using the M16 since Vietnam, so using it is as easy as breathing for him, as well as having the superior range and rate of fire. The TAR-21 has some nest bells and whistles, but Punisher behind an M16 will always be deadlier than Joker behind a TAR-21. Edge: Punisher

Special Weapons: The Venom is the Joker's most uncounterable and deadliest weapon. Frank's vest is pretty badass, but it ain't gonna protect his resportory system. Edge: Joker

X-Factors: Both combatants are similar intelligence-wise and physically. Edge: Even

WINNER: THE PUNISHER

While the Joker is one of the deadliest villians in comic book history, the Punisher kills deadly criminals on a daily basis. Joker is absolutely no slouch physically, but his main strategy is to fight his opponents psychologically. Frank Castle is an intelligent man who could smell bullshit a mile away. In the end, the Clown Prince of Crime will just end up as another notch on the Punisher's gun.
