He got beaten pretty handily though. But maybe he's improved. As you said, the fact that Logan recently lost to the dipshit kid version of Cable was pretty embarrassing as well. Even if he did use his TK to do it.
Hmm... hard to be sure how skilled Monet is when her personal combat style emphasizes her powers. But...
Apocalypse has:
1) Millennia of experience in the art of war
2) His power allows him to alter his body at will, allowing him to perform movements that a normal body could not.
Apocalypse, Monet, Rogue, Colossus etc are tanks and brawlers. They rely just on their powers and not on actual h2h skills. They shouldn't be on list of best h2h X characters.
If it comes down to Fighting Skill. Then ultimately we need to know WHO among the Mutants can fight and hold their own WITHOUT using their powers.
I'd imagine NOT many. And the only ones that come to my mind if you take their powers away and can still Kick your ass are:
Kwannon
Storm
Gambit
Wolverine
Mystique
Sabertooth
Kitty
Warpath
Notible Mentions:
Nightcrawler
Domino
Magik
Cyclops

He threw his sliced in half gun at him with his TK, sticking the two halves to his claws (which Logan I guess forgot he could retract), then this skinny weak kid physically tackled him and pinned him. It was idiotic for that to work on someone with Logan's fighting skill (not to mention his weight and physical strength), but I'm used to writers doing stupid crap like that with him. It is what it is. Still doesn't make it not stupid IMO.
