I'm gonna argue for Nightcrawler. He's been seen with swords more often than not over the past 20 years, so much so that it's standard gear now in games like MUA3. He also wields a broad sword in Hickman's run, though he's traditionally armed with cutlasses.

When you mentioned Zemo, were you covering Citizen V under that?

To be honest, I was thinking of Zemo and Citizen V as the same character, but we should include all the sword-wielding Citizen V characters. Originally Posted by Beadle

There's also Black Raazer, Puck's sort of half assed nemesis.

Oh, we're forgetting Gorr.
Him and his Necrosword. Very edgy.Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

Wasn't Gamora recently seen with a new sword wielding style? Probably not standard stuff like most of these people, but still.

I pondered Red Ronin, however he sometimes gets drawn with a sword but mostly not so much.
Oh, but there is Lionheart and her Sword of Might.

Seeing Red Ronin get mentioned will never not make me happy. Originally Posted by Beadle

Nearly everybody in this fight is a skilled swordsman, but I expect that the ordinary human swordsmen all get eliminated early. Swordsman I was a very canny opponent who had some nice ranged attacks built into his sword by Mandarin, so maybe he takes out his first opponent. Black Knight has a mighty magic sword and fought in the Crusades as well as many battles while an Avenger, so he might last a while. Devil-Slayer is also a combat verteran, a Defender, and can teleport. Black Raazer is a sorcerer with almost zero sorcery feats, so I don't think that he lasts long. I think these are the people who might still be in the fight after the first frantic flurry of blades:
El Aguila
