    Default Wesley Gibson vs Roland the Gunslinger

    Wesley Gibson of Wanted takes on Roland in a gun duel.

    1. Live action Wesley vs Live Action Roland
    2. Comic Wesley vs Book Roland
    3. Composite vs Composite

    Which sharpshooter wins?

    The Live Action Wanted stuff is too ludicrous even for Roland.

    I’ve never read the Wanted comic.

    Nope, book Roland had legit superhuman drawing speed and accuracy. He will react first which is an instant hit.

    Movie versions I'm not sure of.

    How superhuman are we talking here?

    Comic Wesley shoots the wings off flies and is fast enough to deflect bullets with a knife. He's very quick.

    And because I posted about Wanted, I have made a small donation to a men's mental health charity (CALM in the UK for reference) because the comic is so intensely horrible that I feel the need to redress some kind of karmic balance in the world.

    Yeah, as much as I detest the comic, Wesley is also fully super-fast.

    Roland, as I recall, is in the 'hands move so quickly that you can't see them' and 'shoots so fast it sounds like continuous roll of thunder' area, but I can't recall any other speed feats outside of those. Unless someone has better ones, as much as I hate to say it, I'd have to give it to the bullet-timing Wesley.
    Why are we here?

    There is feat in the books, while I don't remember the exact numbers, where he shoots 7 hypersonic missles coming at him from just 500 metres (or feet, can't remember) away. He one shots them of them before they can get to him. I'll have to reread the books to get the exact numbers as I haven't read the books in over 10 years.

    Along this line, "Composite" Wesley is a doozy.
