10 Marvel Heroes The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Could Destroy

[[{“value”:”

Marvel Comics houses some of the greatest superheroes who excel due to their training, powersor resolve. Similarly, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are the greatest heroes in New York City due to their years of martial arts training, coordination, and endurance. The TMNT will do anything to protect each other—even battle Marvel’s heroes.

While the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may fall to powerful beings like Silver Surfer, godlike Avengers like Thor, or Omega-level mutants like Storm, they could potentially defeat street-level heroes like Hawkeye, Iron Fist, and Miles Morales’s Spider-Man, using their training and strong brotherhood.

Miles Morales Is A Slightly Less Experienced Spider-Man

Could the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles defeat Spider-Man? Maybe not. Peter Parker has years of experience fighting some of the most powerful villains in Marvel Comics. He’s even survived trips to space and adventures across the multiverse. Miles Morales has similar experiences, but he’s far younger and more prone to making mistakes.

Without Peter Parker’s assistance or guiding hand, the TMNT could potentially overpower the younger Spider-Man. Miles does have his additional venom strikes, but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could capitalize on Miles’s lack of experience and force him to make a mistake Peter wouldn’t.

Hawkeye Needs Range For The TMNT

Hawkeye is a prominent Marvel superhero––a founder of the Avengers in some continuities, such as the MCU––but he’s really not that powerful. Even for a powerless superhero, Hawkeye would be defeated by many street-level Marvel heroes. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are powerless, but their advantages would stack up against Hawkeye.

Hawkeye needs range. The Avenger relies heavily on his trick arrows and weaponry. Once the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles close the gap or strip Hawkeye of his bow, the archer is not nearly skilled enough in martial arts to defeat four Turtles at once.

Beast Is Smarter Than The TMNT, But Less Skilled

Beast would make a formidable opponent for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He may not be as powerful as the Omega-level mutants on the X-Men, but what he lacks in brawn, he more than makes up for in brains. This is where Donatello would shine.

Beast is a technological genius, often foiled by villains who are smarter or craftier than he is. In many cases, Beast was actually his own worst enemy in X-Men comics. If Donatello could tamper with Beast’s technology, or if the Turtles could trick Beast into causing his own doom, they could defeat the founding X-Man.

7

Squirrel Girl Is Supposedly Unbeatable

They say that Squirrel Girl is “unbeatable.” She even stars in comics with that exact title. In those issues, Squirrel Girl has somehow managed to defeat some of the most powerful Marvel Comics villains, from Doctor Doom to Thanos.

The “unbeatable” nature of Squirrel Girl has become something of a meme over the past decade or so. In actuality, she has very limited powers that allow her to speak to and control legions of squirrels. While this is terrifying, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are far more skilled and equipped for battle, able to defeat her with their combined martial arts training.

6

Cyclops Needs The X-Men For The TMNT

Never underestimate Cyclops. The early 2000s Fox movies didn’t do the character justice. He was just an obstacle to Wolverine and Jean Grey’s relationship and barely had any screen time. In the comic book, Cyclops is calculating and often cold.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would struggle against a prepared Cyclops. The X-Men leader showed off his optic blast skills in the recent X-Men ’97 animated series, but he’s not nearly as powerful without his mutants to back him up. Without the X-Men, just one Turtle needs to land a knockout hit to defeat Cyclops.

5

The Punisher Is A Violent Vigilante TMNT Must Stop

Daredevil and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would get along–partially because they share opinions on how the Punisher opposes crime. The Turtles never kill and always look for the good in people. Splinter trained them well. Frank Castle is a whole other animal.

Like Casey Jones, the Punisher is a vigilante and more aggressive than the Turtles. Unlike Casey Jones, the Punisher will easily kill anyone in his way. Given their shared rage, Raphael would make a great opponent for the Punisher. Strip the Punisher of his guns, and the TMNT would surely win.

4

Iron Fist Falls To The TMNT’s Numbers

Iron Fist is one of the most skilled fighters in the Marvel Universe. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have a difficult fight on their hands, but Iron Fist is a little younger and a little less powerful than someone like Shang-Chi or Daredevil.

Despite his empowered strikes, the TMNT have numbers and can overwhelm Iron Fist. In any other scenario, these five heroes would be great friends, given their similar upbringings and martial skills. However, when forced to fight each other, the Turtles have advantages in numbers and weapons that would help them avoid Iron Fist’s potentially lethal strikes.

3

Daredevil Would Fear A Coordinated TMNT

Daredevil may not be physically more powerful than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Still, he is one of the best fighters in Marvel Comics, and his lack of sight has given him enhanced senses that would allow him to defeat the Turtles.

Despite his enhanced senses, which only improve his martial prowess, Daredevil has a glaring weakness: his sensitivity to loud noises. Any alteration to his senses, be it scent or hearing, will disrupt his perceptions and movement. With a handy gadget from Donatello or some dirty tactics from Raphael, the TMNT could swarm an overwhelmed Daredevil and defeat him.

2

Black Widow Needs The Avengers For The TMNT

Black Widow is a skilled assassin and trained martial artist, capable enough to join the Avengers and lead many black ops teams in Marvel Comics. However, she is powerless and relies heavily on preparation and training. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are less composed and often less prepared, but that may work to their advantage.

If the Turtles aren’t prepared, then how could Black Widow be? Improvisation is the Turtles’ greatest strength in this fight. Whatever Black Widow would predict, the Turtles would need to do the opposite, separating Natasha from her weaponry and throwing her off balance with uncoordinated attacks.

Captain America Vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Captain America is one of the most formidable opponents the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could ever fight in the Marvel Universe. Cap has super strength and endurance and an indestructible shield. The Turtles would need to use everything at their disposal to defeat him.

Raphael would need to be the aggressive attacker, throwing Captain America off balance. Leonardo would need to stick to scripted, tactical strikes. Mikey would improve his attacks for less predictability, and Donny could work on scientific ways to remove Cap’s shield or temporarily dampen his strength. It’d be a big effort but doable with a little luck.
