Oh please! River by 5.

Madhatter | July 30, 21:40 CET

River has all of Daredevil's abilities, better fighting technique, she knows what other people are thinking and SHE CAN SEE! (one assumes.) So, no contest.

daylight | July 30, 21:50 CET

How is this even a question? River by a country mile.

Serefina716 | July 30, 22:05 CET

Eh Daredevil would wipe the floor with River.

Simon | July 30, 22:27 CET

It's even now, 70 apiece. Go River!

madmolly | July 30, 22:27 CET

Semi-recently, Daredevil took on 50 ninja's and was mortally wounded. River took on an unknown amount (at least 50) Reavers and didn't have a scratch on her. Gotta give the edge to River.

But against someone like Captain America or Supes, she'd be crushed like a bug.

What! Simon, building up fruits and various meats to toss your way. BTW, catch the peaches, they're fresh!

Anyway, fire at will!!!

Madhatter | July 30, 23:12 CET

Holy crap, I think I nailed him!

Simon, you OK?

Madhatter | July 30, 23:43 CET

Simon is blimvinsible.

gossi | July 30, 23:50 CET

blimvindible..able...able. I'm screwed!

Madhatter | July 31, 00:16 CET

Eh Daredevil would wipe the floor with River.

You are such a boob.

The One True b!X | July 31, 00:23 CET

I could have sworn I posted something here...

Anyhow, River wouldn't stand a chance.

Dan Corson | July 31, 00:32 CET

Oh puhlease! Oh course, River would win. She can shoot people cold dead without even looking, she can kick arse and do the splits and she's insane as well. Of course she'd win.

nemesis | July 31, 00:36 CET

Just in her summery dress, Daredevil no contest. To really kick ass River needs some kind of costume. Maybe something in leather. Skin tight, shiny..., ahem, i'll be in my bunk ;).

(does Daredevil have superpowers or he is one of those 'best a human can get' style heroes ? If he has actual 'amazing' agility as well as his sonic senses and cool wee stick things I think he'd probably have her though psychically knowing what he's going to do before he does it can't hurt so I doubt it'd be a walk-over)

Saje | July 31, 00:48 CET

blindbylight. Finally got it. What's next?

Madhatter | July 31, 00:54 CET

But River can kill you with her brain!

lycoming | July 31, 01:07 CET

Now that she's not crazy in the head anymore I would have to say River. She can do everything Daredevil can, plus see, plus READ MINDS, she could mind f--love...him if she wanted.

betwixt | July 31, 01:08 CET

You are such a boob.

Heh. River beating Bullseye and Nuke? Not going to happen. Daredevil taking on the Reavers? All he has to do is flip the light switch off.

Though a River/Typhoid Mary tussle would be intriguing.

Simon | July 31, 01:09 CET

Since I was bored, I continued to vote.

Angel pops up in a later contest (and is currently losing)
here.

theonetruebix: “You are such a boob.”

I haven't heard anyone called that since my evil neighbor called my sister a boob-head when she was ten. Thanks for taking me back to an awfuller-yet-simpler time.

QuoterGal | July 31, 01:41 CET

I bet River could fight effectively in the dark, if she got a chance to see the room before the lights went out.

zencat | July 31, 02:46 CET

River pulls ahead, 89-72!

Serefina716 | July 31, 03:07 CET

River. Daredevil isn't real.

daggerhart | July 31, 03:13 CET

It's so obvious -- Cavemen would win. ;-)

billz | July 31, 04:35 CET

I just remembered that Tess returns on tonight's 4400. Luckily, she just popped in, so I didn't miss any beautiful Summer. She's looking not-so-crazy finally!!

CaptainB | July 31, 05:23 CET

He is blind, she can shoot blind.

Kally | July 31, 06:53 CET

Good point, Kally. :D

River all the way!

Ameer | July 31, 10:32 CET

My answer is simple: whichever is using steroids! (Which is why, very soon, all hypothetical superhero/supervillain battles will be followed by drug testing, overseen by an international body.)

bobster | August 01, 00:06 CET

Um...all River would have to do is stand still in an open space. Daredevil would have no idea how to locate her. Then, his patented vision-impairment would get the better of him, he'd flail around for awhile, and then River would snap his neck. River has perfect balance and body control, plus, in all caps, SHE CAN READ MINDS. She'd sense Daredevil sensing her, move, and rinse and repeat until she got Daredevil into a compromised position, at which point she'd break every bone in his body.

BoltRider | August 01, 02:39 CET

BoltRider, Daredevil can hear heartbeats. Standing still wouldn't actually help.

NickSeng | August 01, 05:51 CET

My bad. I based most of my logic off the movie (I use the term loosely), being a DC reader myself. Still, a wide open area would give River a distinct advantage (Daredevil's stealthiness would be nullified), plus she'd still be able to sense when Daredevil had spotted her and get out of the way until she had him trapped.
