The 7 SHIELD agents inside the elevator are replaced by the characters below (series live-action versions).
Melinda May (Agents of SHIELD)
Grant Ward (Agents of SHIELD)
Danny Rand (Ironfist)
Matt Murdock (Daredevil)
Frank Castle (Punisher)
Stick (Defenders)
Elektra Natchios (Defenders)
They are all wearing the same clothes that the agents had, and carrying the same weapons/gadgets the agents had.
They retain all their skills/powers.
Can they subdue Steve Rogers?
I recently had this on my mind for a bit and I just can't know how Winter Soldier would do, how would he do in that elevator fight if he was in the same position as Cap?
Captain America is just going about his day, not preoccupied with anything serious or urgent when he steps into an elevator.
When he gets in, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and Hirohito are teleported into the elevator with him. Being from WW2, he immediately recognizes them as being the real deal.
What ends up happening?
So instead of the Hydra Goons in the Elevator Scene, we swap them out for Rocky and all of his opponents listed to take down Cap before they reach the records floor. Can they do it? This is a no rules brawl in the Elevator. Rocky and "Friends" can win if they either incapacitate Cap or Knock him out. Cap Wins with the same rules. No one can run away and no jumping out of the Elevator. All Fighters are in their Prime so no "old" Rocky and etc...
1.Rocky Balboa
2.Ivan Drago
3.Apollo Creed
4.Clubber Lang
5.Tommy Gunn
6.Mason Dixon
7.THUNDERLIPS
vs
Captain America
Okay last time we did Rocky and Friends in the elevator and you guys seemed to like that so let's try another force of fighters for Cap. Rules are the same as last time the fighters must incapacitate, capture or kill Cap before they reach the records floor. No tools and Cap has shield.
All fighters including Cap are in Character
Sides
Donnie Yen - Ip Man Jackie Chan - Drunken Master Jet Li - The One Pat Morita - Mr. Miyagi Tony Jaa - Ong Bok Bruce Lee - Game of Death Michelle Yeoh - Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Chao Yun Fat - Bullet Proof Monk
VS
Captain America MCU
Bonus round, they can bring weapons...but no firearms. Cap still has shield.
Annnnnnnd Fight!
Master Chief, not wearing his armor, is accosted by Hydra’s team in an elevator. Will he recognize and eliminate the threat and escape the building or will he be detained?
Rules: John believes that the Hydra agents are his allies at first, he has no reason to be suspicious. The Hydra agents do not notice that their target, Captain America, and the man in the elevator, a much taller and paler man, are not the same person.
I’m running a FAE Dresden game for a few friends of mine, and I’m not happy with how the fight scenes are turning out. They seem clumsy and I don’t feel like I have a strong enough understanding of how to map my player’s desires into actual moves under the FAE rules.
One of the bits of advice given in the Feng Shui rulebook is to take a scene from a movie and convert it to turns and such under the game’s ruleset, so I decided to do it with the elevator fight scene from Captain America: Winter Soldier.
- It basically starts with Cap saying “Before we get started, does anyone want to get out”. This could be seen as a social attack or as an attempt to create an advantage. With all the people in the conflict, any roll would be significantly reduced because of the split of the shifts across all the people. So if it is an attack, it falls flat, which is what the scene exactly looks like.
- In the first major turn a lot happens at once. Numerous baddies jump on Cap - I’d call this the guy who grabs Cap around the neck trying to Create an Advantage on Cap, with a few others jumping in to help, each adding that +1 to the roll. One of the others is using his stun baton rather than grabbing. With the numbers, they succeed, putting the aspect “Grappled and unable to move” on Cap.
- With Cap grappled, the briefcase guy does the trick to produce the magnetic cuff, succeeds at Create an Advantage to put the cuff on Cap’s wrist
- Also with Cap grappled, a baddie tries to Overcome Cap’s strength, helped by his friends, to stick Cap’s wrist to the metal elevator frame. Even with help, the Overcome fails.
- At this point, Cap gets his turn to fight back. Since he does multiple attacks in quick succession, I could see this being ruled one of two ways
- His defense against the Overcome succeeded With Style, and the boost he gets is knocking the guys who were trying back. This gives him a boost that lets him skip their turns momentarily
- He has a Stunt that lets him attack multiple opponents, which would totally fit Captain America
- From the comments, we could simply treat this group of baddies that Cap attacks as a single mob, which would also fit narratively
- Cap attacks, hitting three of the baddies. The last one succeeds With Style, so Cap gets the boost that he knocks the other magnetic cuff out of the guy’s hand. This is a pivotal move; if he got caught by both cuffs, he probably would have lost the fight.
- A few more attacks come at Cap, he defends well ag
I know that he probably wins, but is there a chance where the real world fighters could pull this off? All characters are in their prime and work together very well. Cap doesn’t have his shield. Captain America is against:
-
Mike Tyson w/brass knuckles
-
Mohammed Ali w/brass knuckles
-
Joe Louis w/brass knuckles (he’s Ali level)
-
Joe Frazier w/brass knuckles (he’s Ali level)
-
Sugar Ray Robinson w/brass knuckles
-
Andre the Giant
-
Fedor Emelianenko (Best mma fighter ever, fought in several martial arts and won 16 championships around the world)
-
Stipe Miocic (2x mma heavyweight champ)
-
Cain Velasquez (2x mma heavyweight champ)
-
Jon Jones (one of the best ufc lightweights ever)
-
Aleksander Karelin (possibly the best wrestler of all time)
-
Cael Sanderson (one of the best wrestlers of all time, went 159-0 in the NCAA and won in the olympics)
Assume there is enough room to move around
Swap out the hydra goons that tried this against Cap in Winter solider with the four mentioned above.
Rules
- No one is to actually kill Captain America.
- To the effect of rule one Black widow would be armed solely with her taser eskrima sticks, Elektra would be bare handed, Daredevil gets his billy club from the Netflix show and Ironfist (as he loves to remind us) is the weapon so he gets nothing.
- Captain America is armed with just his shield
- The goal of this fight is to capture Captain America in the elevator. If they should leave the elevator for whatever reason the fight is over.
- There is a real chance of damaging the elevator and falling to their death. So Ironfist will be careful with the fist.
- This version of Elektra isn't Black Sky but normal badass Elektra.
Aaaaand Go!
Edit: It should be obvious but I failed to put it in the title. MCU version of all characters.
Basically, it's all the named individual members from every Power Rangers series (from Jason Lee Scott in MMPR to Steel in Beast Morphers) against the numerous Hydra soldiers sent out to capture Captain America in the Triskelion. Imagine each of them in that scenario with them:
- Knowing that all the people inside the elevator are enemies with the goal to incapacitate them (or kill them if necessary); as well as
- Having the only goal of evading their capture or death by escaping the Triskelion entirely
Two "Rounds" (or versions of the event):
- Start out unmorphed and without their morphers
- Start out morphed
Main Conditions:
- The situation involves ONE AND ONLY ONE Power Ranger (need to stress this here so you don't get too confused and incorrectly think its the entire team in the elevator)
- They cannot call in any allies or Zords
- They cannot enter into any enhanced modes (e.g. Metallic Armour, Battlizers, Mega Battle Armour, Mystic Titans/Mystic Dragons etc.)
- Megaforce/Super Megaforce Rangers cannot change into any of the Legendary Ranger outfits
- Before you start yelling at me, I am including Sixth Rangers as well as those other allies that can use Ranger outfits (e.g. Kat, Udonna, etc.); however...
- I am only concerned with TV series Rangers so no comics, Hyper Force or movie Rangers are to be considered
- Timeline-wise this is just after their last appearance (so for most Rangers this will be after Super Megaforce, others after Super Ninja Steel and some after the end of their respective series)
Which Power Rangers make it out a-OK and which ones end up as "threat neutralised"?

How much more awesome is the resulting scene?
Drax the Destroyer is played a lot for laughs, but the guy has some insane levels of durability, ripped Korath's cyber implants out with his bare hands and is reputed to have slaughtered hoards of Thanos' minions solo.
A spacetime hiccup drops Drax into the Triskelion's elevator right in the middle of the Rumlow and the Hydra team ready to capture Steve Rogers exactly as they were in the Winter Soldier. They're surprised, but their standing orders make it so they basically need to do the same thing and try to capture Drax. Everyone is IC. Drax wins if he can escape the building. Hydra/SHIELD wins if they can kill, incapacitate or trap Drax in the building in such a way he can't escape before they can bring enough force to bear to subdue him.
Round 1) Drax is unarmed.
Round 2) Drax has a pair of his favorite knives.
Round 3) Drax has Cap's shield.
Bonus) Drax has his knives and Cap's shield, but the Winter Soldier is waiting at the Triskelion gate.
The story as told in the movie
Quote from an interview with Jackson:
> The great thing for me about that particular story is that is what my grandfather did when I was a kid. He actually ran an elevator in a hotel in Chattanooga, Tenn. That was his job. I used to go down there and sit in the elevator with him while he took people up and down. He got tipped that way and had money in his pocket or in a bag — and a little gun. He always had a pistol with him, some brass knuckles.
