User blog:123chaseyoung/Doc Holliday vs Wild Bill Hickok

I know I messed up in my previous battle, but please let me make it up for it. I really want to be part of this wiki.

So let me introduce to you the showdown in the Wild West between Outlaws and Lawmen. A little break from all those sci fi and fantasy battles and settle down for something from History!

Jesse and Frank James: America's prolific bank robbers who terrorize Post Civil War America!

vs

Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday: A deadly duo of Justice and Vengeance!

Who is Deadliest?!

Jesse James
Jesse Woodson James (September 5, 1847 – April 3, 1882) was an American outlaw, gang leader, bank robber, train robber, and murderer from the state of Missouri and the most famous member of the James-Younger Gang. Jesse and his brother Frank James were Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War. They were accused of participating in atrocities committed against Union soldiers. After the war, as members of one gang or another, they robbed banks, stagecoaches, and trains. Despite popular portrayals of James as a kind of Robin Hood, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, there is no evidence that he and his gang used their robbery gains for anyone but themselves

Frank James
Alexander Franklin "Frank" James (January 10, 1843[1] – February 18, 1915) was an American soldier, guerrilla and outlaw. He was the older brother of outlaw Jesse James and was also part of the James-Younger gang. During his years as a bandit, James was involved in at least four robberies between 1868 and 1876 that resulted in the deaths of bank employees or citizens. The most famous incident was the disastrous Northfield, Minnesota, raid on September 7, 1876, that ended with the death or capture of most of the gang.

VS

Wyatt Earp
Trained as a lawmen and a hunter since birth, Wyatt was a experienced lawman who was forced out of retirement because of the infamous gunfight at the OK Corral. After the incident his brother Virgil was maimed and his other brother was assassinated, which fueled Wyatt's pursuit of vengeance. Although he fights for justice, vengeance was his main game.

Doc Holliday
John Henry "Doc" Holliday (August 14, 1851 – November 8, 1887) was an American gambler, gunfighter, and dentist of the American Old West who is usually remembered for his friendship with Wyatt Earp and his involvement in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and the Earp Vendetta ride. Doc Holliday himself had a history of other duels. At one point, Holliday owned and operated a saloon in Las Vegas, New Mexico. One of the women who worked there had an ex-boyfriend named Mike Gordon who had just been discharged from the Army. Gordon wanted her to stop working. When she told him to leave her alone, he became angry, went outside the saloon, and started shooting out the windows with his pistol. As bullets went through the saloon, Doc unflinching, calmly put down the beer mug he was polishing, grabbed his Colt Peacemaker revolver, and walked outside. Gordon then started shooting at him but misses. Holliday then draws his pistol and shot Gordon at long range with one shot. He then went back to his saloon. Gordon died the next day and Holliday fled.[11] Doc Holliday has also been credited at wounding and shooting a pistol off of saloon owner Milt Joyce's hand when he tried to brandish it at Holliday.

X Factors
James brother vs Earp and Holliday

90 - Marksmanship - 98

The Brothers are formidable marksman, but Wyatt is an experienced hunter. Doc Holliday is the expert shot of them all, being in three duels in his lifetime, and popularized the trope of shooting a pistol out of an opponent's hand

89 - Tactic and Cooperation- 99

Wyatt and Doc are great tacticians themsel;ves, once holding off in a last stand at Glenwood Spring and his evasion of his own manhunt, but the brothers were expert guerilla fighters in the war and even used it in several crimes.

90 - Ruthlessness - 100

The brothers are brutal no doubt about that. But Wyatt is more bloodthirsty as he is fueled by vengeance. Doc himself is no stranger to temper and murder.
