Hey guys, let's bring it back with a throw down. Bucky Barnes, in his Winter Soldier costume vs Grifter (pre-DC, Wildstorm, depowered).  First Round: Regular Equipment. Both get an assault rifle, a pistol and a combat knife. All standard equipment. Bucky has two regular arms instead of his cybernetic one. |

Based on my limited knowledge of Grifter I'd say Barnes takes it

From what I remember, pre-N52 Grifter was a total boss, even sans mental powers. Morph made a huge scan fest for the guy in a thread somewhere, but I'm way too lazy to find it at the moment.

I honestly only read like 3 issues where Grifter appeared and he never impressed me

I'd have to think it through, but off my gut I'd have to go with Grifter... He's got some insane shit going on.

I know very little about Grifter, but I mad a 'Grifter vs Tim Drake' thread a while ago and the general concensus was that Tim would probably win.
If that's true, then I'd say Bucky has got this handled.

Barnes could take advantage of nearby cover to get past that, however. |

The stuff he's done with guns is generally more impressive than the stuff Bucky's done with guns. He's shot down someone that was half a mile away, killed something like two dozen specials ops soldiers in a narrow hallway with little room to maneuver in while starting off unarmed and stealing their guns as he took them down, shot guns out of people's hands, shot bullets in the air, etc. He's also packing about ten different kinds of rounds and grenades. |

Fair enough. Do you think any of that will assist him in this particular instance? |

I'm terrible with the search function here (finding much older threads), but there is an older thread involving Grifter (on a team with Backlash) and Morph provided a scanfest there.

I'm pretty sure the search function is a cunning attempt at trickery on the part of proboards.
