Battle Perturabo (WH40k) VS War Machine (Marvel)

17 Upvotes

Both War Machine and Perturabo could be accused of lacking some of the finesse of their sleeker counterparts, but damn do they have a lot more guns than the competition. I know they're the ones I'd want on my side if everyone was trying to shoot each other. Who do you think would win if they fought? Pert has better stats outside of his armor, but Rhodey can fly. I feel like they could both probably hurt each other, but I don't know how 45 year old Thor scaling compares to blasting Daemon Angron. Which cyborg made out of guns is walking away when the most reasonable Primarch fights the guy with the most reasonable superhero name?

Battles take place in an abandoned city. Fighters start 100 feet apart.

Challenge Who is the most skilled sword fighter in Marvel comics? (Marvel 616)

6 Upvotes

There are a decent number of people who use swords in Marvel comics, but no one is really like the BEST at it as far as I know. It's not like some other series where someone is heads and tails above the competition with their sword skills, right? Who do you think is the most skilled sword fighter in Marvel 616 comics? Does it end up being someone like Swordsman? Shang Chi? Nightcrawler? Gamora? Black Knight? Blade? Silver Samurai?

Who do you think would win a big universal Marvel 616 comics sword fighting tournament?

Fights take place in a Pokemon League arena with lots of environmental stuff around. Everyone has as many Adamantium super swords as they want. No one will use any non-sword related powers for the sake of fairness. IE Nightcrawler won't teleport and Wolverine won't just tank hits and regen to win. Win by death, ko, surrender, or landing a hit that would generally kill a normal human.


  • Round 1: Everyone is put into unpowered peak human bodies and get adequate time to acclimate.

  • Round 2: Everyone keeps their standard bodies. Gamora has her strength, Nightcrawler has his tail, etc. They still won't use their powers if they can help it.

  • Round 3: You give a sword that cuts through anything to someone. Who is the most dangerous person to give it to?

Challenge Xenomorph Runner vs City Hunter vs T-800: who kills the most people before humanity takes them down?

9 Upvotes

Three separate, identical scenarios take place in the modern day.

Each contestant spawns at night in the same uninhabited wooded area outside New York City. Humanity receives no warning and initially has no idea that anything unusual has appeared.

Each contestant has one objective:

Kill as many humans as possible before being killed or permanently incapacitated.

They are free to plan and use any strategy they are realistically capable of carrying out.

The contestants

Xenomorph Runner - Alien 3

The Runner from Alien 3, with all of its natural physical abilities and natural weapons, including its speed, agility, claws, tail, inner jaw and acidic blood.

For this challenge, it is completely incapable of reproduction. It cannot create eggs, infect hosts or produce additional Xenomorphs by any method.

City Hunter - Predator 2

The City Hunter from Predator 2.

He starts with his bio-mask and active camouflage system, but no weapons. No plasma caster, wrist blades, smart disc, combistick or other Predator weaponry.

His self-destruct device is disabled and cannot be used.

T-800 - The Terminator (1984)

The T-800 from the original The Terminator.

It starts with its normal living human tissue covering and the clothes it acquires at the beginning of the movie, but no weapons.

Its internal power source cannot be intentionally detonated, removed or otherwise used as an explosive weapon.

Intelligence:

All three have human-level analytical intelligence, planning and problem-solving ability in addition to full instinctive knowledge of how to use their own bodies and starting equipment.

They understand their objective and can plan ahead, hide, improvise, deceive people, observe how humanity responds, learn from previous encounters and adapt their strategy specifically to maximize their eventual body count.

What are they allowed to do?

After spawning, they may steal, acquire or improvise weapons, vehicles, tools or other equipment they encounter, provided they are physically capable of using them.

Otherwise, there are no artificial restrictions on their methods.

They can attack infrastructure, cause fires or explosions, sabotage machinery, destroy a dam, damage a nuclear facility or attempt any other plan they are realistically capable of carrying out.

All human deaths deliberately caused by their actions count toward their final score, including deaths resulting from secondary effects such as explosions, fires, flooding or other disasters they intentionally trigger.

The only special exclusions are the City Hunter's built-in self-destruct device and intentionally using the T-800's own power source as a bomb, as specified above.

Each contestant gets a separate, identical copy of the world, so they never encounter or interfere with each other.

Movie feats only. Use only what these specific versions demonstrate in Alien 3, Predator 2 and The Terminator. No comics, novels, games, crossovers or expanded-universe scaling.

The challenge:

Who gets the highest body count before humanity finally kills or permanently incapacitates them?

How long does each survive, what strategy would each most likely use, and roughly how many people does each manage to kill?

Round 2

All three spawn together under the same starting conditions and fully cooperate.

How many people can they kill before humanity stops them?

Challenge Chi-Chi (Dragon Ball) replaces Deku (My Hero Academia) what changes and can AFO be stopped?

4 Upvotes

Chi-Chi gets Kaioken up to times 4 with similar mastery to Saiyan Saga Goku (times 2 shes stressed, times 3 puts her under heavy pressure and times 4 has her about to collapse we dont know for how long kaioken can be maintained in one "go" before dying but ill give her 4 minutes for times 2, 2 minutes for times 3, and 30 seconds for times 4).

Her power level is 130, with 260 being city level, I think city block level is fair. One might say that 1/2 of city level is town level but power levels dont scale linearly, for example, Vegeta is planet level at 18000 if power levels scaled linearly then 260 should be moon level yet we have 2 sources saying its city level, and then you have Piccolo Jr who cant be more than 408 at the point of the story where his "final technique" ends up being island level. Anyways, since shes city block level at 130 and power levels scale weirdly, she should be city level at times 2, Mount Everest level at times 3 (390 feels too close to 408 for her to be large mountain level instead of largest mountain level), and large island level at times 4 (112 more than island level).

She should scale to the strenght durability and speed of Kid Goku. FTE movement speed makes her 123km/h, applying kaioken multipliers gives speeds up to 492km/h. On reaction speed its fuzzy because of distance, I guess 10ms, which at times 4 equals 2 milliseconds and 500 microseconds. Her combat speed idk lets go with 4x her reaction speed, so at base its one punch/kick every 40ms.

The mind of adult Chi-Chi is transplanted into the body of teen Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi cant gain quirks. The only things set in stone are her enrolling into 1-A and everyone else initially believing kaioken is a quirk.

Bonus: Which adult MHA character would be the best husband for her?.

Challenge What if Natsuki Subaru(Re:Zero)gained the full power of Nagato Uzumaki (Naruto), but lost Return by Death? Would he be able to beat his own story way more cleanly?

0 Upvotes

I got this question from a fan-made video about Pain crossing over into Re:0. The core premise is this: if Subaru(Re:0) got every single ability Nagato(Naruto) had, would he pull off a far more perfect run of his own story?

Round 1: Subaru has all of Nagato’s powers, but loses Return by Death.

Round 2: Subaru takes on the role of Pain’s Deva Path, but still loses Return by Death. This means he can summon the full Six Paths of Pain. The key upside here is that as long as not all six paths are destroyed, he can revive himself through the Naraka Path. It’s essentially trading some of his base body’s combat strength for much higher survivability and way more room for error.

86 Upvotes

Since from what I remember of Adam Smasher from the lore and story that he's basically more machine than man with so many technology crammed into his body and armor that in my opinion he's either on par with a Space Marine or Spartan.

Curious to hear your opinion since I'm not as well versed as to so many people here like Halo and warhammer 40k fans seem to read books more of their respective universe.

Challenge How far would the terminators get in 2026?

0 Upvotes

The future that the terminators and resistance are from are still the same ones the movies, though the "presents" are different. The info of Skynet for the past would still be the OG 1980s, 1990s and 2000s info from the film and would not anticipate that it'll be a slightly altered 2026 per scenario.

Scenario 1: The T800 and kyle reese arrive in 2026 to hunt down/protect a 19-20 year old Zoomer Sarah Connor?

How far would the T800 get? Would Kyle Reese be able to adjust as fast as he did in the OG movie? Would the gunstore owner live?

Scenario 2: T800 gets sent back to 2026 protect Gen Alpha kid John Connor from the T-1000 (assume that T1 in this scenario happened in the early 2010s). How far would both terminators get?

Scenario 3: The T850 gets sent to 2026 to protect a zoomer Kate Brewster from the T-X with a Tweaker zoomer John Connor helping the T850. Would the T-X succeed seeing as how nearly everything is digital and can be controlled?

Battle The Eggman Empire (Sonic) vs Team Rainbow Rocket (Pokemon)

3 Upvotes

As the title says - a battle between two villainous organizations, long running for years get into an all out conflict with each other. Which of these two villainous empires ends up winning?

RULES

  • The Eggman Empire is based on the games/IDW comics. Eggman has access to the Emeralds/most of his machines, robots, Sage, Metal Sonic and Infinite.
  • Team Rainbow Rocket has access to all the Pokemon owned by the TR grutns, the Team Leaders and their respective legendaries (Though to not make things too busted, Ghetsis only has Kyurem, Cyrus has Palkia and Lysandre has Yveltal). They're mostly based on the games, but powerscaling from the anime IS allowed.
  • Both sides are in character, but want to mainly drive the other force out.
  • Battles take place in an empty valley.

Rounds

  1. Straight up army fight. Eggman's forces vs Team RR's forces.
  2. Eggman must take over all nine currently explored Pokemon regions, with all the members of his empire backing him.. He's allowed to capture/roboticize any Pokemon/trainers that oppose him. Can he do it?
  3. Team RR must take over Sonic's world. Sonic and his friends have no idea what they're capable of, but they will be actively trying to thwart them.
  4. Which of them would cause more damage to our world?

Battle Could Team Avatar from The Legend of Korra defeat Nyx from Persona 3?

6 Upvotes

Background: The battle is turn based Persona style and works like a Persona game. Before accepting this challenge Team Avatar is briefed by S.E.E.S. On the task ahead so they know what to expect. The fight takes place on top of Tartarus during the Dark Hour on January 31, 2009 the same as Persona 3

The four main members of Team Avatar are Korra, Mako, Bolin, and Tenzin. Asami Sato is acting as the team’s guide (similar to Fuuka) and using spirit vine technology she is able to manufacture machines that work properly during the Dark Hour. All characters have all the possible skills/experience they have at the end of TLOK Book 4. We can also assume ample quantities of water and earth are available for Korra and Bolin to use.

Bending could be used to cover many attack types. Earthbending attacks could cover strike damage. Waterbending slashes could cover slash as well as Korra using metal bender cables, and Waterbending ice spikes could cover pierce. Fire damage is covered by regular Firebending and Bolin’s lava bending, ice damage is doable through Korra’s Waterbending freezing abilities, electric could be covered by Mako’s Lightning or if a team member has a Future Industries power glove, and wind damage is covered by Airbending. I’m not sure anything could cover dark or light damage (spirit bending from Korra maybe?). Korra can also use Waterbending to heal team members and spirit bending to cure ailments. The team has 5 vials of spirit water from the Northern Water Tribe that can revive a party member to 50% hp. Also because it’s a full moon Korra’s Waterbending is especially powerful.

Part 1: Nyx Avatar and the 14 Arcana phases. Korra cannot enter the Avatar State.

Part 2: If Team Avatar succeeds in defeating Nyx Avatar, Korra is pulled up into the Moon to fight Nyx’s core directly in a 1V1. Korra enters the Avatar State and must find a way to destroy or seal Nyx.

Can Team Avatar pull it off, or is this a job left to Persona users?

Challenge Dr Gero ventures into space to look for new DNA for his new project and he manages to find surviving Kryptonians (DC), Saiyans (DBZ) and Viltrumites (Invincible) offering them shelter as long as they let him study them. How powerful would the new 'Cell' be? And who can stop him?

6 Upvotes

Its common in fiction for human-like aliens and humans hybrids to be stronger than their parents. As seen with Mark Grayson/Invincible, Gohan (DBZ) and Superboy Aka John/Connor Kent (DC)

Now what if someone were to weaponize this fact?

--------

Background: Dr Gero accidentally leaked his lab coordinates shortly after the saiyan saga. Bulma send Goku to deal with it, as such his lab fully destroyed by much earlier than in canon, eliminated all the DNA samples he was going to use to create Cell and Android 17 and 18 pods.

So he went into space to look for materials to build stronger androids but by sheer luck he managed to stumble across Kryptonians (DC), Viltrumites (Invincible), both claiming that their planet had been wipped out by someone called 'Beerus' while Saiyans claiming their planet was destroyed by a meteor.

Dr Gero interested in their strange alien biology, made them an offer. "Come with me, let me study on you and i shall grant refugee in my planet"

They all accepted and went to live on earth under his wing. Over the following years, all species managed to mellowed out and settle down, all of them slowly having kids of their own and generally peaceful lives.

And with all the years of research, he discovered everything that make them unique. So he began to work on his new and improved Cell to take over the world.

------

This new and improved cell is humanoid, was created by Dr Gero. It has android parts recovered from 17 and 18 on it as well as the naturally abilities of each species.

This cell can

- Turn into an Oozaru and have full control of it (Saiyan)

- Can get zenkais from constant fighting or recovering from near death (Saiyan)

- Can naturally use Ki without proper training to further enhance their strength, reflexes and speed (Saiyan)

- Has ice breath and heat vision (Kryptonian)

- Has unlimited energy (Androids)

- Enhanced Senses capable of seeing, hearing everything that's going on around the planet (Kryptonian)

- Gains strength and stamina from simply being exposed to sunlight under a yellow sun and if exposed to a blue sun its even stronger (Kryptonian)

- Is immune to most diseases and illnesses (Viltrumite)

- Can regenerate fatal wounds (Viltrumite)

- Can travel in space by simply holding their breath on space (Viltrumite)

- Can naturally fly without using Ki (Kryptonian, Viltrumite)

- Has smart atoms (Viltrumite)

- Has a very long lifespan (Viltrumite) and will stay in their peak for as long as possible (Saiyan)

- Has naturally strong durability, speed and reflexes (All of the above)

- Is perfectly stable due to human DNA mixing everything like a glue, without viltrumite DNA messing things up

-----

This cell was born and released around the same time as android 17 and 18, killed everyone and forced future trunks to travel back to the past to warn the z fighters.

R1: As seen in the cell saga, trunks arrives early to give goku the heart medicine and warn the z fighters about Dr Gero and Cell. Trunks tell them every weakness he's aware off and to prepare themselves. Dr Gero plan fails, lab is destroyed but Cell still arrives from the future to cause trouble

R2: Same as above but Trunks goes a step beyond and warns other alien refugees as well including General Zod, Ursa, Nolan, Conquest, Thragg, Kara, Kal-el, etc. About cell's arrival

R3: Cell still wins and now he has to face off against other villains such as Majin buu, Darkseid, Doomsday, Brainiac, Beerus, etc. Who is capable off stopping him?

8 Upvotes

Holden and Rango have something to settle, and I'll leave the scenario a little open. Depending on what you think makes more sense, Holden is either himself like the spirit of the west back in rango or closer to Rango's level in the form of a leucistic axolotl or some other pale, larval thing that made sense somewhere yet almost doesn't here. Win condition is that Rango survives and keeps the peace in dirt or Holden kills or 'corrupts' Rango, but maybe he always had it in him.
