Kriller99's "Mistborn Noir" Edges

Starting off with revolvers, my edge goes to Wax. Vindication has two more shots before he needs to reload than Spider-Noir's gun, and the .44 caliber packs more of a punch than .38 special, to say nothing of Ladrian's alternative ammo.

Powers are up next, and I should bring up how each combatant uses them in battle. Ladrian's ability to sense the presence of metal will nullify any stealth attacks attempted by Noir, which in my opinion is superior to his spider-sense. While Noir can sense when an attack is coming, that doesn't mean he knows what it will be, so he could be caught off guard by, say, an explosion or something, which is multi-directional (Yeah, Wax doesn't having any explosives, I was just using an example). In addition, being able to redirect bullets will be a real game changer, as it renders Noir's handgun absolutely useless. Since Wax can also control how much he weighs, it means Peter won't be able to just web him up or knock him off his feet. Lastly, in a fistfight I give a slight edge to Ladrian. Noir is stronger base-form, but Ladrian's ability to enhance his punches and manipulate his weight via feurochemy will win in an endurance fight.

Overall, I back Waxillium Ladrian. He has the crucial x-factors of tactics and experience, and his powers are far more versatile to Noir's.
