captain america fights for this list
we'll be looking at steve rogers most
captivating and exciting showdowns from
the comic books
don't let his age fool you this hero
packs one hell of a punch
which fight is your favorite let us know
in the comments
ding ding let's get it on
number 10 captain america vs thanos
after thanos obtains the sixth infinity
gems and wipes out half of all living
beings in the universe it's up to
earth's remaining heroes to make a
desperate attempt to defeat him
sadly thanos's power is absolutely
immeasurable thanks to his infinity
gauntlet
and he makes quick work of them with the
majority of the heroes
taken out captain america confronts
thanos one-on-one
while he doesn't make much of an impact
against the titan and is quickly
defeated you can't help but admire his
bravery against someone whose power
vastly outweighs his own number 9.
captain america versus baron blood
captain america has navigated a
surprising amount of horror themed
stories over the years
including one that saw him briefly
become a werewolf
however the greatest of steve rogers
supernatural exploits has to be the
climactic
fight against the undead baron blood
cap's fight against the vampire came to
a gory conclusion
when he found himself forced to behead
the creature of the night with his
shield
luckily the brutality happens off panel
and readers are only given the horrified
reaction of
english ally union jack the action
seemed to affect cap
pretty heavily but we'd honestly be more
worried if it hadn't
number eight captain america versus
william burnside
in 1964 captain america was reintroduced
to a new generation of readers
during his years on ice however a lot
happened
in this 1972 story a doppelganger of
steve meant to have been a replacement
for the super soldier in the 1950s shows
up
causing all sorts of trouble he captures
cap and his allies after which an
extended series of action sequences
ends with a one-on-one fight between cap
and his imposter in front of a war
memorial
and a crowd of people the doppelganger
calls rogers a coward
and a traitor but rogers counters that
hatred is never what captain america
stood for
promptly knocking the pretender out with
a strong right hook
number seven captain america versus
batman
this one might be a surprise for some
but it has happened
during one of the few crossovers that
marvel and dc have taken part in
captain america came toe to toe with the
caped crusader batman
the two have a brief but fun brawl
before they join up as allies
but the fight is what we really want to
see here
the two trade blows and seem evenly
matched with batman's training and
strategy countering cap's super soldier
abilities
this fight may not last long but it's
one that we may never get to see again
and so the little bit of fan service
goes a long way
number 6 captain america versus hulk
the ultimate universe's version of the
avengers appropriately known as the
ultimates
got their own blockbuster limited series
in 2002
the third issue saw the newly formed
team face off against a raging hulk in
manhattan
after the hulk tears through the rest of
the team captain america is the only one
that's left to stop him
and rogers actually manages to beat the
hulk down
well temporarily just when it looks like
steve might get hulk smashed
thor arrives to save his life before
wasp
saves the day some of the series
dialogue may not have aged too well
but ultimate cap holding his own against
the hulk will never get old
number five captain america versus black
panther
azuri in 2010 marvel released a
four-issue series starring a world war
ii era captain america alongside
t'challa's grandfather
and black panther azuri the series
involves a mission into wakanda but when
cap arrives
the wakandans are none too pleased azuri
and steve
sparr in an exciting display of both
men's abilities and the two quickly
develop a mutual respect for one another
as these things often tend to go in
superhero comics
featuring gorgeous art this series
filled out some
fascinating backstory and gave us an
exciting showdown between captain
america and a marvel figure
we'd like to learn more about number
four
captain america versus wolverine when
the phoenix forces arrival on earth is
imminent once again the x-men and the
avengers are at odds over what should be
done
when wolverine who was a member of the
avengers at the time
disagrees with cap on how their mission
should be handled
a fight breaks out between the two oh
and by the way this all happens aboard
the quinn carrier
the fight only comes to an end when hank
pym arrives in favor of cap
and they launch logan out of the back of
the jet come on now steve we all know he
has a healing factor but that seemed a
little harsh
number three captain america versus red
skull
when red skull gets a hold of the cosmic
cube and starts taking over the world
it's up to steve rogers to stop him the
only problem is that the red skull used
the cube to depower him
when steve goes after skull he gets
pulverized
fortunately for cap red skull's ego gets
the best of him
evening the playing field with the
stakes higher than ever a rejuvenated
rogers pounds the villain into
submission
saving the day despite the minor cop-out
of giving caps new shield powers
seeing it outmatched captain america's
stand up to the all-powerful villain was
an
inspirational and memorable moment for
marvel's american hero
number 2 captain america vs bucky
when writer ed brubacher revealed that
bucky barnes had survived the explosion
that was believed to have killed him
it should have been a happy reunion but
bucky had become
a sleeper agent for the soviet union
known as the winter soldier
and so it was only a matter of time
before he and cap would come to blows
the showdown did not disappoint with
capp trying to bring a mind-wiped bucky
to his senses
as the assassin brutally fought back the
confrontation ends when cap tells bucky
that if he really doesn't remember him
he can just shoot him it's a powerful
moment that ends

number one captain america versus iron
man
steve rogers and tony stark have come to
blows on
several occasions for reasons that range
from mind control to deeply seated
political differences
their most notable conflict occurred in
the civil war storyline when they found
themselves on opposite sides of the
superhero registration act
sometimes sometimes i want to punch you
in your perfect teeth
but i don't want to see you gone we need
you cap
so far nothing's happened that can't be
undone
while iron man supported the act cap
objected and formed the secret avengers
this culminated in a truly epic showdown
that cap was on the cusp of winning
before realizing the awful cost of
victory
