Here's to the men who did what was considered wrong in order to do what they knew was right. What they knew was right.

Benjamin Franklin Gates is the latest in the long line of...we'll say enthusiastic historians. Some have called them quacks, discredited them, but Ben, like his grandfather, believes in the legend of the Templar treasure that had been passed down from the last of the Freemasons to his ancestor. He just has to find it.

Ben's basically just your average movie hero, but he doesn't use guns or brawl much in any situations, so Ethan Hunt or John Wick drop him like a stone. His intelligence, while well-suited for clue sleuthing and puzzle solving, doesn't range much beyond that area of expertise either. To keep the connection between early 2000's blockbusters produced by Jerry Bruckheimer involving treasure hunts, I think Captain Jack Sparrow would be a good matchup for him.

Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety-five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair-trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that!?!

Ashley “Ash” Williams started his adventure as just a normal college student, heading off to an isolated cabin in the woods with his friends for spring break. That was until they stumbled upon the book of the dead and accidentally unleashed the terrible demons that were once locked away. All of his friends, his girlfriend, and even his sister were either killed, possessed, or both. During the second night, Ash himself was possessed but was cured by the rising Sun. He soon fought throughout the day having to chop off his hand after it was taken by the demons. With the help of archeologist Annie Knowby, they were able to open a portal through time banishing both the demons and accidentally Ash to the year 1300 AD. Here Ash led Arthur and his knights against the demon army led by an exact copy of himself created by the Book of the Dead he sent to them in the first place. Eventually, he was able to defeat the army of darkness and Merlin sent him back to his own time. After 30 years of avoiding responsibility, maturity, and the terrors of the Evil Dead, Ash readout of the book while high releasing a Deadite plague which threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons – personal and literal with the help of his two S-Mart coworkers Pablo and Kelly.

How to use in WWW

Ash’s defining physical trait is his ability to keep getting up after having his shit kicked in. This is mostly seen through his blunt force durability; no amount of bookshelves he’s thrown through or chin punches from the super-strong Deadites seem to keep him out of a fight for good. He isn’t invincible, though, and unexpected blows to the back of the head have knocked him out before. He also has normal human piercing durability, seen when he’s interacted with knives or claws, but he generally has the endurance to fight on when he’s bleeding. His fighting style allows him to repeatedly dodge attacks from enemies much stronger than himself until he finds the right time to blow his foe away.

He always enters a fight with both his chainsaw hand and his boomstick. The saw is for close range combat and cleaves through undead flesh and bone with ease, while the boomstick is an oddly versatile tool for both mid and long range. Depending on what Ash needs in the moment, it can destroy specific targets, throw enemies backwards or simply splatter enemies to gore. If you’re using Ash as of the TV series, he also has a mechanical hand with some useful tools built into it like a flashlight and a screwdriver. A good Ash prompt should also specify if he has access to magic objects like the Necronomicon. While it’s a very powerful artifact, Ash is just as likely to trigger the resurrection of an evil, undead army than to use a spell effectively against an enemy.

The Evil Dead franchise is no stranger to crossovers and Ash has a lot of different choices for matchups. One could set him against other horror heroes, like Frank West from Dead Rising. He’d also make great matchups for slasher icons like Jason Voorhees, Leatherface or Matt Cordell the Maniac Cop. It could also be fun to drop him into different horror settings to see how he’d impact other stories. How far could he get if he were dropped into Atlanta in the Walking Dead universe? Could he replace Leon Kennedy in his mission to save the president’s daughter in Resident Evil 4? These open world situations would also allow Ash to flex his engineering prowess, something that he doesn’t often use in one-on-one encounters.

"I used to think that spells equaled power, too, back when I was alive. I've learned a lot since then. You know what does equal power? Power. Power equals power. Crazy, right?"

Xykon

Xykon is an extremely powerful lich sorcerer, and is the main antagonist of the webcomic Order of the Stick, a world that operates under the rules of Dungeons and Dragons 3.5th Edition. As a young boy he realized he had been born with magic powers such as raising the dead and shooting lightning, and soon decided to use these powers to take whatever he wanted and kill whoever got in his way. In his old age when between schemes he was approached by the goblins Redcloak and Right Eye, who wanted his help gaining access to extradimensional gates that the absurdly powerful monster known as The Snarl contained within. Assuming that he could control this monster and conquer the world, Xykon quickly agree. However their first attempt at attacking these gates saw him imprisoned and without his magic, forcing Redcloak to turn him into an undead lich. With this newfound power Xykon quickly proved to be a much greater than he ever had been alive, and together with Redcloak (Right Eye having been killed) and an army of expendable minions, they sought out the other gates in the hopes of furthering their plans (while not-so-secretly not trusting each other in the slightest). They would also repeatedly find themselves in conflict with the adventuring party known as the Order of the Stick, all for the silly reason of avenging a murder and trying to save the world.

Magic

Offensive Spells

• Blasts a hole in a thick wall, and then blows away the entire upper part his tower when he becomes enraged

  • Said tower was notably wide and there were multiple floors above where he was when he performed this spell

• Uses energy drain to repeatedly drain Dorukan's levels, rendering him unable to cast any spells and eventually killing him outright

• Kills several summoned angels with a barrage of small meteors

• Kills three ogres with a single bolt of lightning

• Uses an unspecified spell to carve a large image of him kicking Redcloak into the the side of a cliff

Combat Utility Spells

• Casts overland flight, allowing him to fly under his own power for the entire day

• Casts greater invisibility in order to render both himself and his zombie dragon invisible, with the dragon being able to attack while invisible

• Creates a symbol of insanity on a bouncy ball and throws it around a room, causing dozens of paladins to go insane and start killing each other until there's only one survivor

• Hits spliced Vaarsuvius with superb dispelling, removing all of the magic effects they had cast on themself

• Uses ghostform to become intangible and fly up through the floor

Misc Spells

• Reanimates three ogres into zombie ogres

• Uses greater teleport to teleport himself and two other people to a pyramid containing a gate, and then teleports everyone to the next gate location

• Wrenched a massive tower from the ground with magic, with this tower being notably taller than the city walls and even the Azure city castle

• Uses soul bind to remove Lirian's soul from her body and place it in a gem, which renders her unable to be resurrected. Then traps Dorukan within the same gem

• Uses the headband of Dorukan to cast the spell Cloister over the entirety of Azure City

  • Cloister is an epic level spell that can be cast over an area several miles wide, blocking any divinitation, communication, or transportation magic from targeting anyone or anything within the region of the spell (unless that magic is also epic level), and lasts one week per caster level. It also targets every person within the range of the spell, so they will still be under the effects of cloister even if they leave the region (though they can still cast those kinds of spells themselves). Also summoning spells are able to bypass the effect

Physicals

Lich Physiology

• Being a lich makes him smarter, stronger, lets him live forever, and renders him immune to a disease that rendered him unable to use magic

• Healed by negative energy spells such as Inflict Critical Wounds

• Has a paralyzing touch that paralyzes Right Eye for an entire day, and kills weaker goblins with a single touch. Right Eye could split a large treant in two lengthwise with a single axe swing

• After his body is destroyed by a Gate, his soul returns to his phylactery, which is an amulet worn by Red Cloak. He soon starts to regenerate a new body over the span of a few pages

  • His phylactery has a bunch of abjuration spells cast on it, rendering it unharmed by O-Chul repeatedly striking it. Also if his lich body is in tact destroying his phylactery won't kill him, it will just prevent him from regenerating

Normal Physicals

• While flying slams a huge chunk of stone into Vaarsuvius

• Using flight, escapes from an exploding castle while injured and carrying Red Cloak

• No sells a lightning attack from spliced Vaarsuvius capable of blowing a large hole in a wall due to liches being immune to electricity, and then takes an empowered sunburst from them

• Takes a magic blast from Dorukan, then takes his prismatic spray and meteor swarm. Dorukan could match Xykon in magic power

• An explosion that demolishes an entire pyramid blows off the lower half of his body, but isn't really affected much by this, with him stating he'll grow new legs when he arrives at his destination

Using Xykon on WWW

Despite having a large variety of spells at his disposal, Xykon is very much not a strategic fighter. This is in fact something he takes pride in, as he doesn't need to think strategically when he can just spam his most powerful spells again and again until his opponent is dead. That's not to say he can't use more subtle means, though he will typically use these only if he thinks it will be more entertaining for him.

This overall makes him a pretty straight forward fighter. As such any opponent who is capable of matching his destructive output, capable of withstanding multiple types of damage, and is able to destroy his lich body would make for a good match. Note that even if his phylactery isn't destroyed, forcing him back into it would still count as a victory.

What could happen next…?

Little is known about who Henry Stickmin is beyond his accomplishments. He's an exceptional thief for one, having "successfully" broken into a bank and successfully stolen the Tunisian diamond (as well as possibly other large gemstones). He's also an equally masterful escape artist, having escaped a prison and fled being locked up in The Wall, the most secure prison complex in the world. His skills are so impressive that at one point he was even contracted by the government to help get some dirt on the most notorious criminal organization, The Toppat clan, by infiltrating their airship. Though the specifics of how he pulls his plans off don't seem to be very clear cut, regardless of his methods one thing is pretty clear. He's exceptionally lucky to have survived completing all his missions.

Gear/Feat Highlights

This is just a very small sampling of both Henry's own capabilities and his long list of gear he's used. For a full overview, please refer to his respect thread.

Traditional Weaponry

• His spacesuit can pop out a knife that's supposedly so hot it can cut through any material
• A collapsible rocket launcher, the rockets it fires can make 90 degree turns, allowing it to make this comedically impossible shot
• Has used bombs that make large explosions relative to the Toppat Airship and the Toppat Orbital Station
• Sets up a bundle of various types of explosives, which result in a massive explosion

Technology

• The famous teleporter, he's had some success with it, but usually it doesn't end well
• The Paperizor, a device that turns Henry into a sheet of paper. He's still able to move in this state (via crawling), and returns to normal soon after usage
• A time machine clock, which he uses to alter the past and therefore change the present
• A lag switch, which makes Henry start lagging and appear to be running in place when he's actually running away

Inexplicable Items

• A magnet that is powerful enough to pull the Toppat airship to it
• Uses an item box that gives him a Boo, turning him invisible and intangible for a brief period
• A wind waker which can be used to play a melody that lets Henry take control of another person's body
• A set of dice that initiates Chance Time (from Mario Party)
• An ocarina which can summon Charles Calvin via song

Wearables

• A suit of power armor that greatly increases his durability and (presumably) strength
• A metal cap that turns Henry metal, which provides a similar benefit
• An easy to control jetpack (as well as a much harder to control one)
• A very convincing Frosty the Snowman disguise

Consumables

• A mushroom that causes Henry to grow to gigantic size, though he's knocked out of the power-up by a cannonball
• A syringe of adrenaline, which causes Henry to zoom at FTE speeds, though he seems to lack fine control at this speed
• A syringe of bug juice, which turns the user into a flying bug. It apparently only lasts for one hour in bug years, according to the fail message
• A duplicatorange, which splits Henry into two identical copies of himself

Powers/Abilities

• Is proficient with both earthbending and metalbending
• Can cast fire and thunder spells
• Flash teleports out a room
• Can make and load savestates
• An expert at distraction

Physicality

• Stomps on a large SAM turret hard enough to knock its launchers down
• Renders Right Hand Man Reborn non-functional by dragging him across the Toppat jungle base with an infinite combo
• Sends a helicopter flying into the sky before exploding with a super punch
• Is launched a far distance by the impact of the G.A.B.E.G.G. landing right next to him, slamming him into a stone wall hard enough to crater into it
• Recovers from a missile explosion that launches him across the Airship, and makes a massive hole in the side of it
• Matrix dodges a burst of assault rifle fire, catching the last bullet in his hand
• Weaves through machine gun fire to kill the assailant

Using Henry Stickmin on Whowouldwin

Henry is the definition of inconsistent, with his dozens upon dozens of gear and abilities he basically has access to an extremely wide range of, for lack of a better term, random bullshit. Whether or not these items and abilities work in his favor is a different story of course, as when looking toward the source material, it's just as likely that things won't go Henry's way, and there's plenty of things he has that will straight up kill him (or worse). Of course, that's not to say he's like a gag character destined to always lose, just that his success at any given task can be extremely variable. He's definitely not incompetent, especially if you consider that endings where he succeeds as being “more canon” than the ones where he fails, but he's just as likely to attempt to initiate a dance-off as he is to hit you with an inescapable infinite combo.

Basic Information

• Name:Patrick 'Eel' O'Brian
• Alias Plastic Man or Plas
• Allies The Justice League, Woozy Winks
• Enemies Pretty much everyone he meets, they tend not to like him very much

Background

Plastic Man is one of the oldest characters in comics, originally making his debut in August of 1941. He was originally published by the now defunct Quality Comics, but was purchased by DC in 1956. Since then he has been a staple of the C-list.

Plastic Man was originally a professional thief by the name of "Eel" O'brian, but after gaining his powers he tried to change his ways. He enlisted the help of his woefully incompetent sidekick Woozy Watts, and became the hero Plastic Man.

Powers

Plastic Man's primary power is a stretching based form of shapeshifting that closely resembles reality warping on some degree.

Examples

• Is a helicopter
• Gains a better sense of smell
• Turns into all four wheels of a car
• Is a plane

In addition to his stretching entering the territory of 'hax', Plas is fairly outright powerful

Examples

• Electricity timing
• Blitzing and oneshotting Grace Choi
• Catching Flash and restraining MMH
• Launching Martian Manhunter
• Gets Big
• Becomes a Mech
• Stomps a fool

Oh, also, Plastic Man is silly as all get out.

• I am the room
• I am the table
• Humiliation
• House chores
• ;D
• Big pimpin
• Rob this

Almost all of these showings are from his solo series.

The Ambassadors are members of a multinational superteam that protects the planet. Initially just six people chosen for their heroism from countries around the world, they soon grew to accept many more heroes. They reside in Base-Control, a futuristic headquarters hidden in the mountains of Antarctica, a facility that also houses a “database” of powers used to fight crime and minimize natural disaster.

Electromagnetic Aura

• An aura just millimeters over the Ambassadors' bodies protects them from damage. India jumps from outer space, catches fire and lands in the ocean completely unharmed thanks to his aura.
• Korea is frozen in place, then gets a vehicle slammed down onto her at high speeds
• Paris runs into a clothesline while using the Mach Nine superpower
• The aura is bulletproof

Superpowers

General Mechanics

• Ambassadors can have up to three powers active at once, from a pool of fifty powers total
• Two Ambassadors can’t use the same abilities at once; while someone is using Gravity Control and Telekinesis in Pakistan, those powers are unavailable to Ambassadors in France

Physical Enhancement

• Using Brute Strength, France is able to push against and halt a runaway train
• Using an unknown power, Korea uppercuts a man’s skeleton out of his body
• Australia uses Speed and Endurance to cross two miles of tundra quickly
• Mach Nine lets an Ambassador move at nine times the speed of sound. Paris uses it to carry a civilian a few feet without harming him.

Transportation

• France uses Flight to grab two people and escape from a burning building
• Flight maneuverability is compared to modern jets, while Flight speed is even higher than jets
• Ambassadors can use Teleport to move intercontinental distances, like back to Control-Base in Antarctica, or directly to scenes of crisis

Giant Size

• Using Giant Size, Brazil picks up and crushes a crime lord's many cars, causes tremors in the ground comparable to earthquakes, then lifts his mansion into the air to destroy it
• Giant Size allows Mexico to assume a multi-story form capable of carrying a battleship over his shoulder

Object Manipulation

• By using Telekinesis, India lifts a satellite from Base-Control to outer orbit over the course of a conversation
• Using Telekinesis, Paris wraps crooks up with rope and moves a paintbrush to write a message for the cops

Intelligence/Skills

• The Detective ability allows France to investigate a jewel heist, eventually tracking the thieves to their hideout. She also hacks their text messages to determine that they’re selling the diamonds at a specific time.
• Prizefighter affords a user advanced skill in karate and jeet kune do, letting Paris and France defeat three crooks
• Paris uses Racecar Driver, Mathematics and Engineering to discern how best to stop a runaway train while driving. Paris is a child who had never drove a car before this.

Other

• Intangibility lets Pakistan walk through concrete rubble

Miscellaneous

• Translator pins automatically translate speech, allowing each Ambassador to understand their teammates as if they were speaking one’s preferred language
• A button on an Ambassador’s wristband allows them to change from street clothes to their superhero uniform in moments
• The group activates a spherical forcefield to block armor-piercing automatic gunfire, then expands the forcefield offensively, turning several soldiers into skeletons

How to Use on whowouldwin

Each Ambassador is a Swiss army knife capable of most anything that a superhero or crime fighter could need. They've got physical enhancement from Brute Strength or Flea Agility, control over the elements from Heat Blast or Sub Zero, several forms of high speed transportation and the ability to grow to the size of skyscrapers. They even have powers that can make them experts in specific fields or skillsets, like Detective, Prizefighter or Stunt Driver. Each Ambassador is protected by an electromagnetic aura a few millimeters above their skin, which protects from heavy damage, inclement weather or the vacuum of space.

Their amazing powers come with a drawback in that they can only be used by one Ambassador at a time. If Australia is using Giant Size to lift a sinking cruise liner, then India can't use it to fight a kaiju halfway around the world. If America is using Gravity Control to help land an airplane, then the others can't use it to restrain a supervillain, and so on. Jamie, aka the United Kingdom, is the exception to this rule as his telekinesis comes from innate genetic tampering and not from the Power Bank. The aforementioned Power Duplication ability can also allow two Ambassadors to use the same power simultaneously if they're close enough to each other.

Their sheer versatility means that they can go toe to toe with other superhero teams and punch a bit above their weight class with more esoteric powers. A standard encounter with the MCU Avengers or the DCEU Justice League could be fun as long as you remove or limit their heavy hitters. You could also throw them into similar settings, like putting them against MCU Ultron's robot army or dropping them into the middle of the Invincible War to see what difference they could make against large groups.

If you were to ask anybody from Burkittsville, Maryland, about the Black Hills and the evil that lives there, you would hear one of dozens of ghost stories. Historians could tell you about the Eileen Treacle drowning of 1825, while old-timers would bring up the Rustin Parr child killings of the 1940s, and younger folks might only know about the three Montgomery College students who went missing in the 90s. But chances are good that the story they’d tell you would make mention of the Blair Witch.

In the late 1700s, when Burkittsville still went by the name Blair, Elly Kedward was accused of witchcraft and drawing blood from children. She was banished from Blair territory and bound to a tree in the Black Hills forest, where she’d die of exposure in the wintery woods. If her former neighbors thought that they were safe after Kedward’s death, they were sorely mistaken. Seemingly overnight, the children in Blair started to go missing. Further tragedy after tragedy struck Blair, particularly in and around the Black Hills, from missing persons to mass killings. Not even renaming the town was enough to erase the area’s dark fate.

No one knows for sure if Elly Kedward still haunts the woods or there’s just something evil that hides in the trees, but ask the locals and they’ll all give you the same advice: stay out of the woods after dark.

Environment Control

• A group tracking their vehicle with a GPS device finds that they’ve been walking in a big circle for hours
• The search parties looking for Mike Williams and Heather Donahue were out in the same area of the woods at the same time as the missing parties, but they never ran into each other. Search helicopters and people on the ground did not find any trace of the college kids during these searches.
• Two hikers walk in a straight line for an hour but end up back where they started
• A tree inexplicably falls over and lands on a man
• Two days after a child is pulled into a creek and drowned, the creek's water turned into non potable, oily sludge and was filled with stick charms

Conjuration and Erasure

• Rustin Parr’s burning house appears in the woods, several decades after it burned down. After a boy escapes the burning building, it quickly burns to ash, which is blown away, returning the ruins to the exact state they were for decades.
• Ashley cuts her foot on a rock when crossing a creek. The next day, the wound starts spasming. Later still, Ashley starts bleeding from higher up in her leg and she pulls a long root from the wound.
• Two hikers find that the water in their canteens turned to blood. Days later, a forensic lab tests the canteens, finding no trace of anything besides water in the containers.
• During a camping outing, the camp bus disappears overnight without a sound
• A teen finds bloody fingernails from an adult leader, then the bloody corpse of the other leader. When she gets someone else to show them these gruesome sights, both the fingernails and the body have disappeared without a trace.

Time Control

• Lane and Talia separate from the main group. From the main group’s perspective, they parted ways earlier that afternoon, while from Lane and Talia’s perspective, they’ve been wandering the woods for five nights with no visible sunlight.
  • Lane separates from the group and, a few hours later when he meets up with Lisa again, he’s had time to grow a full beard
• Fellowes spent an afternoon and a night in the woods, and when he emerged, he found only an hour had passed in real time
• Johnathan Prye, a witch hunter from 1786, encounters and speaks to a woman from 1941. A spiritualist explains that past, present and future can operate simultaneously in the woods.
• A truck that’s been abandoned and dilapidated for a long time is found completely intact minutes later

Mental Effects

• Rustin Parr, a serial murderer who lived in the woods, claimed to torture and kill his victims on orders from voices in his head
  • Rustin Parr had runic symbols appear on his arm during the killing of the children. He managed to self-mutilate his arm, freeing him from the Witch’s control to an extent and allowing him to confess to a priest that he did not kill the children under his own control.
• A group of Wiccans camp out on the edge of the woods after performing a spiritual cleansing. They all share the same dream, a recreation of the banishing of Elly Kedward back in the late 1700s.
• The Witch is able to speak through a psychic teenager. When she’s speaking, the boy’s voice becomes that of a woman’s.
• After visiting the house of Rustin Parr, Mary Cazale develops a rash and goes mad over the course of twenty days, eventually drawing runes on the walls using her own blood
• Ellis has an extended hallucinatory sequence where he sees elements of his time in the Gulf War. He finds his squadmates’ dog tags buried in the woods, receives voice transmissions from deceased friends, sees signposts standing amongst the trees and finally revisits a burning village during a firefight before recovering from the hallucination.

Other Powers

• Burkittsville residents hear the voices of children and old women telling them their new minister is dangerous. Others see the minister as a demonic figure preaching lies. Eventually, the residents form a mob and burn the minister at the stake, believing him to be a witch.
• Bess Weaver hears her granddaughter Robin’s voice coming from the woods, even when Robin is asleep in her house. The woods are attempting to lure Bess in and trap her.
• Fog acts as a physical force, squeezing Crawford’s leg before covering Fellowes and killing him by cutting his skin
• An enemy of Rustin Parr, the Witch’s pawn, suddenly stops in the middle of the street. As he stands, unable to move, a truck runs into him and kills him.
• Ellis receives a phone call from a deceased sheriff telling him he’ll die alone in the woods

How to use the Blair Witch on whowouldwin

Fighting the Blair Witch should be treated as surviving a hostile environment more than anything else. Time is broken, geography is broken, technology becomes worthless, drinking water can turn to blood overnight, and helpful items can just disappear into thin air. Spending time in the woods is a test of one’s sanity first and wilderness survival second. Like all horror movies, staying in groups is very preferable to splitting up, and most human beings bite it shortly after venturing in the woods on their own. Mental manipulation is also a major threat, and a character would need some way to weather memory manipulation or mental possession if they were to survive in the Black Hills. The Witch’s preferred means of attacking victims, as shown onscreen, involve telekinetic attacks like garrotes formed from fog or knocking trees onto people.

If you wanted to spice up a prompt and keep it from being ninety minutes of stomping around the woods without a map, there are a couple different monsters shown in the extended media. For physical threats, you’ve got your stickman monsters, your big scorpions, and your Rake-like long-limbed monsters. For non-physical threats that require magic to defeat, there are plenty of different ghosts of former Witch victims or noncorporeal demons that accost the protagonists of the video games and books. The Witch can also empower humans with supernatural abilities, like the shapeshifting cultists in the Pride or the super strong serial killer, Fellowes. None of these threats are too powerful since they can be defeated by humans with guns or magic trinkets found in the woods, but they’re there if you wanted your character to punch, shoot or stab things.

Survival and escape from the woods can vary greatly in difficulty. In some pieces of extended media, like the early 2000s PC games or the Goosebumps-style Blair Witch Files books, the protagonists are pretty consistently able to survive by fulfilling whatever magic ritual is presented to them. This could involve burning a tarot card to dispel a boy’s ghost, using shaman-blessed stick figures to temporarily contain the evil in another dimension or using rowan berries to defeat an animated avatar body made of wood and bones. Completing these rituals will cause the evil in the woods to relax long enough for the people involved to make it out in one piece. Since these escapes are accomplished by regular Jill and Joes working on library research or the instructions of helpful ghosts, it’s reasonable to say that escape is possible for characters adept in magic like DC’s John Constantine or Harry Dresden.

Defeating the evil for good is another story. In the comics, a group of witches who tried to ritualistically cleanse the evil in the woods did squat and ended up dying in freak accidents in the years that followed. In the games, defeating the evil in 1786 doesn’t stick due to time being broken, and the Witch’s schemes continue undisturbed well into the 21st century. A permanent defeat is entirely speculative, but it’d probably take a stronger magician to fully cleanse the woods, like Marvel’s Doctor Strange or some other magic genius.

"I've traveled through time, fought gods, hunted dinosaurs. I'm prepared to believe many things!"

Turok of the Kiowa Apache was a melancholy man that rarely smiled, living up to his name Son of Stone. He and his pupil Andar were sent off to scout for land untouched by the white man but found a cavern leading to a land out of time, a world full of dinosaurs they called the Lost Land. They explored, fought dinosaurs, and even met Magnus the robot fighter and other time displaced denizens.

Later a powerful woman calling herself Mother God united the peoples of the Lost Land by force, including Turok. Turok served Mother God as an enforcer, believing her to be a benevolent spirit ‘til heroes of the Valiant universe showed him the truth. With her defeat, Turok found himself displaced again into modern day. Simultaneously a relic of a different time and far too changed by his experiences to return to the past, Turok wanders the world righting wrongs.

At least there’s still dinosaurs to hunt…

For a more thorough list of Turok’s abilities, talents, (and some potentially problematic stuff) read the full Full Respect Thread

Gear:

• Turok’s futuristic bow fires high tech arrows able to pierce metal body armor and shock foes or explode with devastating force, and has a hidden blade built into its curve for melee.

• Assorted firearms from pistols to auto assault shotguns.

• Knife and war club for more melee.

Physicals:

• Draws blood from a man with a chop.

• Beheads a Bionisaur with his bladed bow.

• Can take hits from Bionisaurs, augmented dinosaurs strong enough to smash through walls and metal doors.

• Takes strikes from a caveman wearing a Bionisaur skin that’s strong enough to crater a wall.

• Dodges attacks from Mon-Ark, who can move fast enough to dodge Turok’s arrows.

Skills:

• Turok’s aim with his bow allows him to snipe someone across an arroyo or shoot someone that acrobatically dodged beam weapons.

• Turok’s hand to hand prowess lets him beat three martial artists armed with only a buffalo femur and gain the upper hand in a brawl against a sasquatch while Turok’s in handcuffs.

• Turok impresses X-O Manowar by sniffing out and shooting a Bionisaur sneaking up on him before X-O’s suit can target it.

• People sneaking into his camp lose sight of him on the ground, he’s next in a tree holding them at bowpoint.

• Follows the trail of a young man he trained and realizes he’s doubling back to try and lose him. Turok also spots that a dinosaur is tracking Andy, too.

Using Turok on WhoWouldWin:

Turok has an effective arsenal and the skill to make good use of it, but he’s more than just a guy with some guns. Turok is an exceptional tracker and hunter, someone that can follow a trail easily and disappear in the forest to stalk his prey. Predators feel like thematically appropriate opponents and dinosaurs are obviously on the table.

Recommended Reading:

The 90’s Turok: Dinosaur Hunter comic, obviously. It can vary a little when different writers and artists take over, but generally anything by Tim Truman’s a banger. If you’re familiar with his comic Scout you know he actually does some research and gives a shit about Native Americans, which is nice. Turok’s just kinda there when he shows up in other Valiant comics, but I kind of adore his bromance with X-O Manowar despite how little they actually interact.

Featuring the Sith Triumvirate

Every Sith's fall to the dark side is unique. Some were born into the Sith Empire, seeing them as the natural way of using the Force. Others allow their rage to consume them, forsaking the path of the Jedi wholesale. Kreia's fall was far more subtle. Exiled from the Jedi Order following the corruption of many of those who studied under her (not least of which were Revan and Malak, who had recently brought the order to their knees) and transformed by the horrors of an entire planet being destroyed at the end of the Mandalore Wars, she took on the moniker of Dark Traya. Under her new title, Traya took on two new apprentices: Darth Sion, a Sith who had alligned himself with multiple Sith Empires as his rage prevented him from dying, and Darth Nihilus, an effective wound in the Force whose hunger knew no bounds. They formed the Sith Triumvirate, and sought to lead the Sith Empire where Revan and Malak had failed. But betrayal is innate to the Sith, and Kreia would find herself ousted as Sion and Nihilus began to slaughter Jedi from the shadows. But even seperate from each other, and each with their own methods and motives, all three would work to bring about the end of the Jedi Order.

Shared Feats

• As bosses in the game, they are all capable of taking many hits from the game's weapons, including lightsabers
• They are also capable of deflecting blaster bolts

Darth Traya, Lord of Betrayal

Full RT

• Kills a squadron of Sith off-screen
• Walks away after impaling herself with a lightsaber
• Telekinetically wields three lightsabers at once
• Kills three Jedi masters at once by absorbing their Force energy
• Locates a person through their faint thoughts as they lie unconscious
• Pulls memories from a person who actively takes steps to protect himself from being mentally affected by Force-users
• Hides her presence from another, to the point where he can't percieve her even while looking directly at her

Darth Sion, Lord of Pain

Full RT

• Beats up Darth Traya, lifting her with one hand
• Saps the Force energy from a foe to heal himself
• While he can be harmed, he cannot be conventionally killed, with his former master advising the Exile to flee the fight instead
  • This is due to a combination of the Force and his own willpower
  • After being 'killed' by the Exile repeatedly in a fight, he eventually allows himself to die

Darth Nihilus, Lord of Hunger

Full RT

• Throws surrounding opponents away from him with a shockwave
• Binds and stuns the Exile and her party
• Capable of sapping the Force from others, healing himself
  • He doesn't appear to be capable of doing this in person on a large scale, due to him only taking out Jedi from the shadows when they come searching for him
• Was responsible for the destruction of a planet and its populace which were particularly Force sensitive
  • While he doesn't kill other planets outright, they are still left decaying and dying

Using the Triumvirate on WhoWouldWin

While they did in the past, the Triumvirate is never seen working together on-screen, to the point where Sion and Nihilus are only seen on-screen together as they're beating up Treya before exiling her from the Triumvirate. As such, while there is a possibility for using them together, they'd be best used as distinct opponents, each with their own requirements.

Traya specializes in mental manipulation, and as such her opponents need to have some form of protection to prevent someone from instantly mentally dominating them, either knocking them out or hiding her existence entirely from them. Sion is the most straight forward in being initially unkillable, with it requiring an extended battle and the draining of his will to continue to take him down. Nihilus' initial game plan would be to simply kill any opponent by absorbing their Force, so his opponents will need to either be able to resist such an attack, be cut off from whatever their universe's equivalent of life energy is, or simply rush him to force him to use more conventional means. And of course, while the game lacks any feats for them, they do all still wield lightsabers, which can do serious damage while destroying most conventional weapons they clash against.

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shapeshifting master of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku!

Gotta get back.

Back to the past.

Samurai Jack.

Once upon a time, there was a great and prosperous kingdom, which was attacked by a terrible monster. Aku, the Shogun of Sorrow, destroyed the kingdom, enslaving its citizens. The young prince of the kingdom was taken away in secret, trained by the greatest warriors and scholars of the ancient world to defeat this evil. However, on the day that he took up his sword to slay Aku, his foe opened a portal in time, throwing him into the far future - a future that Aku already rules over. The samurai, nicknamed “Jack” by the locals, quests to find a way of returning to the past to defeat Aku once and for all. Gotta go back. Back to the past. Samurai Jack!

Feats

Yer the greatest warrior that’s ever lived, besides me! Ya don’t just up and go soft and mushy on me! Ye’ve mastered countless fightin’ styles and weapons, yer the defender of truth, freedom, n’ talkin’ dogs! Armies fear ye! There’s no stoppin ye once ye get cookin’! Everyone’s lookin’ for ya! There’s a huge price on yer head! Ah, yeah, yer Samurai Jack alright! - The Scotsman

Feats will be cited by episode. The number after “S” indicates the season, and the number after “E” indicates the episode. For instance, “S2E7” would indicate that the feat comes from the seventh episode of the second season. Note that Season 5 takes place 50 years in the future, and features a very different Samurai Jack - one who has lost his sword, and his purpose.

He learned archery from Robin Hood, he rode the waves on Viking longboats, he was taught to throw axes by the warriors of Kievan Rus, he learned spear combat from the Mongols, and he learned martial arts from Shaolin monks.^S1E1

The Sword

Samurai Jack’s weapon of choice is a magical sword, imbued with the spirits of his ancestors. This blade is said to be the only thing capable of defeating Aku for good. The sword can only be used for good, and such those who are evil cannot use it to harm those who are innocent^S3E4

Watch out!

Featuring the All-New Venom

"We're not an it, we're not a monster... and we're definitely not just another symbiote. We're Venom. Don't wear it out."

During the climax of the Venom War the Venom symbiote was fatally wounded and, not wanting its son to watch it perish, slithered off to the sewer to die. But as the symbiote laid there dying someone found it and, in order to stay alive, bonded with them. Now stuck together at the molecular level the pair began fighting crime together as the All-New Venom.

Eventually it was revealed that the All-New Venom was actually Mary Jane Watson, who had ended up in the sewer when her Jackpot powers went haywire and began killing her. Just when MJ was about to disintegrate the symbiote jumped onto her and bonded with her, keeping them both alive as long as they stayed together.

Featuring Larry Daley

Larry Daley was a big dreamer who's life hit near rock bottom. He failed in his aspirations to start a business and also could not keep his relationship working. To make ends meet and to not disappoint his son, Larry took a job as a nightguard at the American Museum of Natural History. Unknown to him this museum is holding a secret. An ancient Egyptian tablet blessed by the god of the moon, Khonsu, turns all of the museum exhibits to life at night. Larry has done pretty well for himself since getting this job. Not only has he turned his life around, he's adventures have made him a better person and saved the world.

Featuring the Tramp

A baker. A janitor. A factory worker. A plain old nuisance at a soapbox derby. While never given a name or even a consistent title, the man most commonly referred to as the Tramp represents the down-on-his-luck everyman. Though his bumbling behaviour gets him into trouble as much as factors entirely out of his control do, he nevertheless continues his jobs with an almost admirable naivity, simply trying to make a better life for himself.

Full RT here

• Knocks a man out with a punch

• Repeatedly dodges a champion boxer's punches
• Repeatedly drops to dodge gunfire

• Picks the pocket of a man robbing him at gunpoint
• After knocking a man out, puts his arms under the man's arms and holds a conversation with the other person at the table without them realizing

Using the Tramp on WhoWouldWin

The Tramp isn't traditionally a fighter. He doesn't tend to go around beating people up, and the few films with explicit fights (as a boxer, policeman, etc) tend to have him notably outmatched. So while you can put him in a straight fight, you may get more use out of him by putting him in a scenario where a setting or character is trying to get him to fail at his job (directly or indirectly), and seeing whether the Tramp's physicals, skills, and bumbling luck is enough to give him the victory.

The Boss

"You want to fight the best? ...You fight me. " - The Boss

Also Known As: The Butcher of Stilwater, The President

Allies: Johnny Gat, Shaundi, Pierce, Kinzie Kensington, Zimos, Angel De La Muerte, Oleg, Matt Miller, Benjamin M. King, Keith David, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Santa Claus, the Third Street Saints, Ultor Corporation, Burt FUCKING Reynolds

Enemies: Philippe Loren, Killbane, Zinyak, rival gangs, The Man, people who look at him funny

The Boss is a person of indeterminate history. Their appearance is decided by a character creator at the start of the game, and can be either male or female. They can be any race, and any nationality. In fact, they can change any aspect of their appearance using plastic surgery centers. However, the Boss is often depicted as a Caucasian male in a suit with brown hair, sunglasses, and a five o' clock shadow. All that is constant about The Boss is that they are the leader of the street gang known as the Third Street Saints. Originally starting out on Third Street, they became the most notorious gang in the sleepy town of Stilwater, before becoming the most notorious gang in the world. The Boss eventually parlayed his notoriety into fame and became a nationally beloved figure, whose face appeared on lunchboxes and such.

Later, after the events of Saints Row the Third, The Boss became so well-known he was able to make a successful presidency bid. After becoming the most powerful man in America (as if he wasn't already), a warlike alien civilization attacked Earth. The leader of the aliens, Zinyak, kidnapped the Saints and placed their minds inside of a simulated Steelport designed to break the resolve of The Boss and make him docile. But The Boss wasn't willing to be the toy of an evil galactic empire! With the aid of Kinzie Kensington, hacker extraordinaire, he was granted incredible superpowers within the simulation! Eventually freeing his compatriots from their prisons, he defeated Zinyak and gained control of a time machine (along with a cool suit that let him use his powers in the real world!). As the latest game in the Saint's Row franchise ends, The Saints set off to expand their control across the time-space continuum.

Weaponry

The Boss is armed to the teeth with a variety of weaponry which he uses skillfully and indiscriminately. Due to incredibly OP late-game upgrades, all guns have infinite ammo, and all throwable weapons are in infinite quality. These weapons include:

• The Penetrator: A massive, floppy purple dildo-bat used in melee.

• The Apoca-Fists: After besting the Killbane, the infamous Luchadore, in hand-to-hand combat, he was bequeathed the technique Killbane used to defeat his many foes - the Apoca-fists. As this video demonstrates, the Apoca-Fists can turn normal humans into chunky salsa with a single hit. They can also knock around cars and can defeat the hulking Brutes in three to four hits.

• .45 Shepherd: Dual pistols with explosive rounds. The Shepherd is favored by the Third Street Saints due to its power and flexibility in combat.

• The Gravedigger: An old-school shotgun with a new Saints style. Tri-barreled and with incendiary bullets to turn up the heat on your foes.

• K-8 Krukov: The working man's assault rifle, complete with attached grenade launcher

• Annihilator: Rocket launcher with guided missiles. Erase your foes!

• RC Possessor: A "gun" that shoots nanodevices at vehicles, bringing them under the remote control of the Boss. Cars, boats, helicopters, and even tanks are no match for these nano-hackers.

• SA-3-Airstrike: Device that scans an area with a laser. When the scanning is completed, a jet flies by to drop cluster bombs on all foes.

• Singularity Gun: Gun which creates miniature apertures resembling black holes, dragging unfortunate foes into the abyss beyond heaven and hell. It's safe to say that getting hit by one of these would suck.

• Dubstep Gun: Weaponized bass cannon that hits foes with explosive bass drops. Those close enough to hear but not directly in the line of fire are compelled to dance to the music, which is A Bass Renaissance by Josh Powell.

• This isn't even counting the indefinite amount of grenades, flashbangs, disabling electro-grenades, and molotov cocktails The Boss keeps around.

Upgrades

In the Saints Row series, The Boss can upgrade himself, allowing for some incredible abilities which are outlined here. As shown, these abilities include:

• The ability to sprint forever

• Health regeneration

• Immunity to bullets

• Immunity to fire

• Immunity to fall damage

• Immunity to explosives (and no-selling explosive force as well)

• Immunity to damage taken when hit by vehicles

• Instantly reloading all weaponry

• Infinite ammo for all weaponry

Powers

In Saints Row IV, The Boss is gifted fantastical power by the godlike hand of Kinzie Kensington within Zinyak's simulation. These superpowers (which will be demonstrated by this Mace Windu-resembling version of the Boss) include:

• Cryokinesis: The Boss can fire blasts of ice out of his hands, encasing foes in blocks of ice.

• Pyrokinesis: The Boss can also shoot blasts of fire out of his hands, making things hot and heavy for foes.

• Mind Control: The Boss can shoot a...mind control blast...out of his hands, giving temporary control over any enemy caught in the effect.

• Telekinesis: The Boss can pick up and throw objects with his mind. Check out how far he throws this dude. He can throw this big 'Murica plane too. He can also "leech" health away from enemies and into himself, or turn his foes into living Tesla coils and use them to shoot electricity at others.

• Super Sprinting: The Boss has super speed! Those streetlamps don't stand a chance!

• Stomp: The Boss can stomp to create a powerful shockwave, which can either send targets flying (with the "rock" element), lock them in a gravitational field in midair (with the "gravity" element), or just make them really tiny (with the "shrink" element).

• Buff: The boss can "buff" himself and imbue himself with spectacular powers, such as a shield of fire, turning nearby objects to ice, and doing the Tesla coil thing like with telekinesis.

• Super Jump: The Boss can jump really high, glide, and slam down into the ground. If they get high up enough, they can do a devastating ground attack similar to a nuclear missile strike.

Feats:

• Hit in the face by a car? Pain don't hurt none.

• Hit by a rocket launcher and knocked off a bridge

• Knocks out a guy in one punch

• Gets rammed by a speeding car and gets right back up

• Holds onto a nuclear missile while it's soaring through the sky

• Falls from thousands of feet in the air and crashes into the White House, without a scratch.

• Brutally defeats Zinyak

Mash Burnedead has no potential for spellcraft or sorcery. Zilch. Then how does he manage to stay enrolled in his knockoff Hogwarts? With a body sculpted by the gods, from the looks of these feats. What, you think I'll just give you his exercise regiment?

Usage on r/whowouldwin

Mashle as a series is always described as Harry Potter meets One-Punch Man. And that description is absolutely right. If you stripped him of his plot armor, you'd need someone absolutely nuts to take on Mash and have a chance of winning even if he's only capable of being a brick. He's just that good. You might want to look at some Superman archetypes, or isekai protagonists to give Mash a "fair" fight.

Lion El'Jonson, the First

Curze got to all fours, but not quick enough to avoid the Lion’s wrath. An armoured boot hit the Night Haunter in the midriff and lifted him in the air. A second kick connected with his jaw, sending the Night Lord onto his back. The Lord of Caliban reached down and dragged Curze like a rag doll, threw him again, turning another ten stalls to kindling.

Looming out of the splinter-fog the Lion smashed a knee into Curze’s face as he tried to rise. The Night Haunter’s left arm hung limply as the Dark Angel picked him up again. With a grunt, he tore the powerplant from Curze’s armour, tossing the backpack aside with a hiss of broken coolant links and a shower of sparks.

Throat in one hand, a leg in the other, the Lion hoisted Curze above his head. The knight of Caliban dropped to one knee, bringing his foe down across his shoulders. Armour split like bamboo and bones cracked, eliciting a shriek from the Night Haunter.

With a contemptuous glare, the Lion tossed Curze to the ground. He flopped to his broken back.

During the time of the Horus Heresy, the Lion a pivotal force throughout the Crusade. Maintaining a sizable legion in the force of the Dark Angels which had been the first Space Marine legion to see action, the Lion was pivotal in many key moments such as the Ragandan Xenocides. Maintaining a relatively cold relationship with his brothers, the Lion's reputation of secrecy had cast into doubt his initial loyalties, but as the heresy progressed, it was clear that the Lion believed Loyalty remained its own reward as he fought for the Emperor still.

The Lion is one of two active loyalist Primarchs by the time of the 41st Millennium. The second Primarch to be found active after the resurrection of Roboute Guilliman of the Ultramarines, the Lion awoke in the presence of an Old King fishing within a boat and was guided to the planet of Camarth before reuniting with the rest of the Imperium. This chain of events would have him ultimately having a showdown with his Daemonic brother Angron during the finale of the Arks of Omen events.

Feats

Strength

• The Lion can smash a fortress gate down with one swing.

• The Lion in his childhood had strangled a Calibanite Lion

• Throws his brother Leman Russ across a parapet It is important to note that the Primarchs are about 10-12 feet tall.

• An injured lion can hurl a tank aside

Durability

• Deadpool style regenerates from las-gun fire that is punching through people in flak-vests

• A magical attack that would have punched a hole through an armored column does nothing.

• A star's heat only damages his gauntlets

• Has a tank thrown at him and is only injured

Speed

• Space Marines seeing him swing his weapon see afterimages being left

• Perceives 'split seconds' as hours

• Is an insanely casual bullet timer

• Sidesteps a laser turret firing 100 laser beams being fired at him a second

Skill

• Uses his vast skill and experience to contend with a much physically superior opponent.

Weapons

• The Lionsword cuts through several petrified trees

• The Wolfblade cuts through a 30 foot tall Daemon

• Fusil Actinaeus melts stone and vaporizes a tapestery

• The Emperor's Shield can stop blows from Angron who is casually throwing about several hundred tons

• Fealty cuts through Daemon Angron.

• Aura Luminis can blow holes through armored bulkheads or tanks

Using The Lion on WhoWouldWin

The Lion is a physical duelist in a lot of interactions. Normally usually armed with one melee weapon and one of his pistols, the Lion's most recent canonical state uses The Emperor's Shield, Fealty and Aura Luminis. Given a lot of options to take out foes, the Lion's best abilities are his reaction times and his ability to resist heat. Enemies that use predominantly heat are often some of the Lion's best type match-ups.

The Lion's usage of the Emperor's shield and his personal skill otherwise makes him able to contend with physically superior opponents. While he may not be able to use tanks as projectiles like his brother Angron, he is still capable of throwing them aside despite injuries attained over a fight.

Souboutei is the name of a haunted mansion in a Japanese suburb. Many years ago, the Prime Minister's friend was eaten by the house's innumerable paintings, and spat out as a brainwashed revenant. He ordered a bombing run to take place on the manor the instant he took power, to enact revenge on the spirits inside. The bombs dropped, the smoke rose, and Souboutei...survived. Fluorished. Taunted.

And so the quest began, for Souboutei Must Be Destroyed.

Full RT Here

The House

Souboutei is a complex in the Tokyo suburbs.

• Untouched after a bombing run
• Sucks in a wrecking ball and spits it out to destroy the crane swinging it
• It can rebuild itself, and rebuilds entirely after Deido leveled the area
• Built on the landing site of a cursed star
• Filled with an endless amount of paintings, which eat and kill people

Inhabitants

Souboutei has many people living inside (even the zombies are still alive, just to suffer) who aid it in its goals, or hinder it for their own reasons.

• Multiple giant alien monsters
• Souboutei, from inception, claimed the souls of 22 psychics and zombified them
• Possess the corpse of the white water user Yasuo, who is able to stalemate Seiichi's drill
• The Zanka Division open holes in their bodies for bullets to pass through
• Oujin catches bullets in his mouth and redirects esoteric attacks
• Koremitsu eats souls and has a malleable ethereal body
• Shino launches an electric tank with a single punch and makes an illusionary Deido
• Shino absorbs Deido's bullet hell before firing it back
• Deido's bullet hell erases a military operation with no traces left
• Deido slows down time for ten years

The Black Water Planet

Souboutei the mansion is just an out-of-use terminal for an evil planet's sentient, hiveminded ocean halfway across the universe. Sakamaki Deido is the only thing holding back the endless deluge of the planet from teleporting its entire contents to Earth and colonizing it for themselves.

• 20 million light years from Earth
• Still has minions: giant "invaders" from the black water planet drain the oceanic body of the white water planet
• Every prime minister has seen the same dream, which involves arms growing out of Souboutei and dwarfing the city
• Souboutei's hivemind used Shino as a terminal to act out emotions and hide its true machinations from Deido, which were to isolate the human phenomenon of courage and figure out a way to replicate it within themselves
• A dying leech touches regular watery ground and immediately grows into a huge monster, which overturns cars and ignores small arms fire
• Flash-floods a river upon reaching it
• Created a crystalline shell to try and block Josephine's fireball, though it fails
• Flings Seiichi into the side of a building
• Sends a tsunami through a city to get around being frozen

Usage on WWW

Souboutei is a cosmic horror terminal and should be treated as such. Allowing it to interact with Earth's water source is an extremely bad idea, as they use it to exponentially and explosively duplicate, so don't send Aquaman their way. Souboutei's weakness is nitrogen, so anyone who has that knowledge and can change the elemental properties of something would stomp. And while it does seem almighty, Souboutei is ultimately the villain of an NSFW shonen, so it can still be beaten. I would recommend putting them up against a group of diverse powersets with some form of mental shielding. Hydrokinesis and purification would also be extremely useful. My suggestion for a group to enter Souboutei and see it to the end would be the Gaang from A:TLA.

Featuring Arjuna

Arjuna is the protagonist of the Mahabharata. In the Kurukshetra War, he was one of the most powerful warriors that fought on the Pandava side, against the Kauravas. He wields the legendary bow Gandiva and is blessed by gods with the ability to invoke all kinds of magical spells known as Astras (celestial weapons). Arjuna fights alongside Krishna, avatar of Vishnu, who taught him the lessons of the Bhagavad Gita.

All feats are from Kisari Mohan Ganguli's translation of the Mahabharata. Note that Arjuna has many epithets, including Partha, Dhananjaya, Savyasachi and Phalguna.

Strength

• Solid rock offers no resistance to his sword strikes
• Showered an enemy’s body with trees and rocks
• Stated to be Shiva's equal (Arjuna was unable to meaningfully harm Shiva in their fight, so it might be an exaggeration)

Durability

• Able to take a shower of arrows
• Survives repeated hits from Shiva, but is knocked out in the end. He regained consciousness soon after

Speed

• Fires 600 arrows at once, then quickly fires more than 10,000 arrows at Drona's army
• Stated to be able to fire 500 arrows in the twinkling of an eye

Bow

• Kills an entire army of charioteers, horses and elephants by firing thousands of arrows
• Kills at least 16,000 soldiers, 1000 horses and 400 elephants during a fight with Karna
• His arrows are strong enough to tear chariots apart
• Fires 21 arrows, accurately hitting a cow's horn that was hung on a rope swaying to and fro
• Has crescent shaped arrows

Astras

Astras, or weapons, are magical spells granted by gods. By chanting a mantra, an astra bearer is able to imbue a weapon (such as an arrow) with great power.

Brahma Weapons

• The Brahmasira or Pasupata is a weapon given to Arjuna by Shiva. If used on a weak foe, it can destroy the universe. It is used by Shiva to end the universe at the end of the Kali Yuga. It can be hurled by the mind, eyes, words, or a bow
  • Can destroy the universe in half the time it takes to blink, and is incapable of being resisted by all beings, including all the deities
• Invokes the Brahma weapon to counter Drona's arrows
• Uses a different kind of Brahma weapon to fire hundreds of arrows in all directions, wiping out an army

Other Weapons

• Uses Agneya to create fire, Varuna to create water, other astras to create air, clouds, lands and mountains, then makes them disappear with the Antardhana astra
• Covers a group of enemies in fire, presumably with the Agneya weapon
• Forces an army of warriors to kill each other by invoking a weapon that created illusions, causing everyone to look like Arjuna
• Covers Bhima's body with water to protect him from Ashwatthama's Angeyastra
• Dispels clouds summoned by Karna with Vayavyastra
• Dispels a darkness that shrouded his cloud, then dries up a wave of water being sent towards him with Aditya astra

Featuring Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez

"Don't forget my name, and pray you never hear it again. Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez! Next time you hear that name... you're dead!"

---

A powerful Hollow, Grimmjow roamed Hueco Mundo seeking out more powerful opponents to consume so he could gain more power and become a Vasto Lorde...all so he could become king over any and all who recognized his power. Eventually, he encountered a group of large Hollow whom he readily blitzed, and they immediately subjugated themselves to his power. Becoming their ruler, he lead them under Aizen's rule, accepting the spot of Sexta Espada.

For a more comprehensive look at Grimmjow's feats and abilities, check out his full Respect Thread!

Feats

Strength:

• Kicks Ichigo through a city block, demolishing it

• Easily catches Bankai Ichigo's blade, throwing him through a city block

• Kicks Ichigo down into street

• Destroys building with a swipe

Speed:

• Is so fast Bankai Ichigo can barely react to him

• Clashes evenly with Bankai Ichigo

Durability:

• No-sells Ichigo's Shikai with his forearm

Abilities:

• Can fire a blast of concentrated spiritual energy called a Cero

• Can fire a Gran Rey Cero, a variation exclusive to the Espada, which can distort space

Resurreccion - Pantera

• Slams Hollow Mask Ichigo through several pillars

• Slams Ichigo into pillar, shattering it

• Can channel his energy into his claws and use Desgarron, causing massive collateral damage after Ichigo deflects it

Using Grimmjow on r/whowouldwin

With high stats, ranged options and no fear in getting up close to fight an opponent, there aren't many aspects in which Grimmjow is weak in. Ceros and Desgarron eliminated a potential range advantage his opponent could have, and his extremely high physicals allow him to be an extremely oppressive fighter for those on his level, or even slightly above it.

However, while he does make up for it in how well he uses his toolset, it is quite limited, with only blasts and physical attacks being his main method of fighting. On top of that, his eagerness for combat can easily be used against him. Good opponents for Grimmjow are those who can weather the storm of his assault, forcing him to reconsider his options while dishing out equal amounts of offense to keep him on the defensive.

• Bends steel bars

• Most likely increased durability as he survived a large explosion made by Morlun

Evelyn Wang!

"Don't make me fight you. I am very good!"

After marrying and starting a family with the love of her life, Evelyn Wang has grown discontent with her life. Having thrown away countless dreams, she now owns a simple laundromat with her husband. She had resigned herself to this bland existence, until her visit to the IRS was interrupted by an alternate universe version of her husband. He explained to her that there was a terrifying evil roaming the multiverse named Jobu Tupaki, and that he believed she was the only one that could stop it. By utilizing an invention from his universe, he trained Evelyn to 'Verse Jump', syncing her mind with her alternate universe selves in order to use their skills and memories to assist her in the dangers to come. However, she quickly learned that there was much more to this multiversal threat than she first thought, which would force her to embrace the life she’s lived or risk losing everything.

Full Evelyn Respect Thread

Verse Jumping

• Verse jumping allows someone to access their alternate self's memories, skills, and emotions
• In order to verse jump, the user must first imagine the universe they want to jump to, then they must perform a random action that places them in a "jumping pad" universe that is closest to their desired target before being fired to where they want to go with a click of their ear piece (which will flash green upon the requirements being met)
• When somebody verse jumps, their mind is split between the two realities (and while they can choose to focus on one, the other will continue on without them)
• Alpha Waymond describes Evelyn's mind as a clay pot that cracks slightly with every jump, causing the other universe's to leak through. With training she would be able to reseal those cracks, but since she never receives this training in the movie she is able to utilize the skills of any universe she has previously jumped to in the movie without jumping to them again.

Strength

• Blocks several attacks from one of Jobu Tupaki's minions who was strong enough to punch through a wooden door
• Knocks away several people using a riot shield before hitting someone else hard enough to shatter it
• Knocks a man back a fair distance with a palm strike
• With just her pinkie finger, she sends two men flying backwards and sends a third man over a story into the air before striking him into the dirt
• Propels a man into the air with a shove, sending him flying a fair distance towards a fleeing truck

Speed/Agility/Skill

• When one of Jobu Tupaki's minions was inches from kneeing her in the face, she was able to redirect her opponent away from her
• When her opponent flings a dog at her, she picks up a knife and spoon and bends back before it passes over her so that she can cut the leash
• While a man has a gun trained on her, she reaches under a desk to open a secret door and slams his gun away with a glass bottle
• Fights off a room of over half a dozen opponents wielding various weapons and armor
• Twists her body as one man leaps at her from above and another slides at her from below, removing trophies from their respective butts as they move (don't ask)

Durability

• Gets knocked across a room and into a vending machine, shattering the glass cover
• Takes a kick to the face that sends her rolling back and immediately gets up
• Bullets halt upon making contact with her (though it is unclear if it is meant for her to be truly bullet proof or some other effect of her new elevated status as a being who experiences the multiverse all at once)

Swapping Matter

When her mind was fractured across the entirety of the infinite multiverse, Evelyn gained the ability to not only access the skills and memories of all of her alternate selves, but she even was able to swap matter between universes, morphing anything she touched into another object.

• Jobu Tabuki, a being with the same powers as Evelyn, is able to swap a branch between dozens of different objects before settling on a sword
• Changes an onslaught of bullets that had been fired at her into googly eyes, which she repels back at her assailants
• Removes a man's belt, switching it out for a whip that she uses to pull back Jobu Tubaki

Using Evelyn on WWW

Evelyn is a character that constantly grows her repertoire of skills, even in the middle of her fights. From what we've seen her use, she is an extremely capable martial artist with enough strength to launch people several stories into the air (localized entirely within her pinkie fingers). She's also adept at fighting with knives and other kitchen utensils. Thanks to her ability to verse jump, she could expand her skillset even further to suit her needs in the middle of a fight as long as she is able to activate her ear piece. However, the exact universe she would jump to/skill she would gain in a given situation would be completely up to speculation. Luckily, after her mind fractures across the multiverse, she gains the knowledge and abilities of literally every version of herself at the same time on top of the ability to swap matter between universes. Evelyn doesn't use this ability to kill as she usually opts for non-lethal takedowns though. Good characters to put up against Evelyn will need to be capable martial artists or other highly skilled combatants that are slightly above human level in physical ability. However, they will struggle if they have literally nothing else to bring to the table.

Molly Millions

Full Respect Thread

Molly Millions is a street samurai, a heavily augmented woman willing to perform almost any kind of job for money and the sheer thrill of it. If that sounds rather stereotypical of the cyberpunk genre... well Molly is a big part of the reason why those tropes exist in the first place.

Throughout her time wandering the cities of Earth, Molly has taken up or been forced into a whole variety of odd jobs, from protecting a data courier from a yakuza assassin, to helping to hack into an AI on a space station, to being blackmailed into helping with the abduction of a world famous Sim star. She is truly happiest when she is in a life or death struggle, and will not hesitate to kill an enemy (and depending on who that enemy is, she might enjoy hurting them in the process). That said she's not without a more caring side, even it's buried all of the metal.

Fletchette Pistol

• Her pistol fires microscopic darts at supersonic speed, and is capable of firing 20 rounds a second while being barely louder than a cigarette lighter

• Can fire explosive rounds. With a single dart kills a man and produces a large blood splatter with a shot to the throat, causing the man's body to fall back on and collapse a steel catwalk suffering metal fatigue (though it had been noted how rickity and fragile this catwalk was)

  • A series of explosive rounds to the head and torso leave no remains of a corpse

• Has toxin rounds that can knock someone out in seconds or kill them, or even give them cancer

Augmentations

• Her fingers hide steel blades that are double-edged and four centimeters, which can slice right through a tendon without slowing down.

• Has mirrored lenses surgically inlayed over her eyes, which allow her to see in the dark and displays a readout of the current time

  • Drives a hovercraft through a combat zone without any lights on

• Has her nervous system jacked to increase her reflexes

Strength

• Sends a man flying through a cheap door and into the opposite wall, with it being implied she threw him

• Causes a man to double over with a blow to the solar plexus, and then knocks him out by slamming his head against a wall

Speed

• Case watching the world through her eyes compares it to a tape played at half speed. She throws a grenade before a diving man can break the water, turns to fire several rounds into Ashpool, and then turns the gun towards 3Jane just as the grenade detonates

• Dodges a monomolecular wire from an assassin. Said assassin could slice a man in three before anyone could react (or any blood could spill), and dodge a point blank blast from a hidden 12 gauge shotgun

• Case is shocked by how fast she can move, with her cutting through a plastic sheet and moving through it before he could even process that it had been cut

Durability

• Has her leg broken in a fight against three security guards that breaks a fiberglass shockstave, and continues on with the mission

• Hit by a neural disruptor that causes her to lose all control of herself and slam her head against a door. This knocks the wind out of her, but she slowly gets up soon after

Skill

• Maneuvers around a shifting floor while engaging an assassin, resulting in him cutting his own hand off with his own weapon. Though she later states her win was more luck than anything

• Disables a thief with a kick to the knee and pivots to retrieve the bag he stole before he can hit the ground, with Kimiko comparing her to a boxer

• Mona observes that while Molly isn't that strong, she knows exactly how to throw weight around

Misc

• Possesses a polycarbon suit that is capable of changing its coloration to camouflage with whatever is around it, allowing a person to vanish against a wall

• Wears a pullover Case suspects is bulletproof

• Injects herself with endorphins to counteract the pain of a broken leg, with Case noting she could walk on bloody stumps with enough of them in her system

Using Molly on WWW

Given that Molly is basically the archetype of the heavily augmented, morally ambiguous cyberpunk heroine, you're probably thinking about putting her against other cyberpunk characters. And while you can, her physical abilities are closer to a baseline human than a lot of later characters in the genre, she's pretty lacking in durability, and her augmentations don't factor as much into combat as you might expect. In a serious combat situation she's far more likely to rely on her legitimately quite powerful fletchette pistol. If you have a character who is capable of aim dodging gunfire, and has some heavy firepower, they might make for a good matchup.

Ryouga

Ryouga is a naive, but determined young man that hates the word "impossible". If he ever hears the word, he gains the motivation to prove whatever was called impossible to be possible. He is on a quest to find his father, however along the way he encountered the evil organization known as Great Gravel. He takes on the organization, fighting many powerful Burst Warriors. He eventually defeats their leader and takes down the organization.

Here's the full Respect Thread

Physical Stats

Strength

• Can lift well over 50 tons
  
• Shifts a podium with a shove
  
• Punches a foe into a stone spire hard enough to destroy it
  
  • These are pretty big spires
    
• Sends a foe bouncing between multiple mountains and into the distance
  
• Hits a man into a building, cracking a large portion of it
  

Speed

• Dodges a bullet-like projectile
  
• Dodges a shock wave and crosses several meters in a split second
  
• Fights at FTE speeds
  
• Capable of flying
  

Durability

• A weapon that can split a small building, shatters against him
  
• Withstands a blast that dwarfs trees and hills
  
• Smashed with a massive rock, which sends cracks through the tower below him
  
• Launched miles away, cratering the ground upon landing
  

Electric Attacks

• Creates a massive explosion that dwarfs trees
  
• Breaks a large stone spire
  
• Blasts a foe through multiple walls
  
• Can unleash it in a close-range explosion that is stronger than his normal blasts
  

Usage on WWW

At first, Ryouga may seem like the typical head-on fighter, but he is more than that. Ryouga is extremely observant and can think of strategies on the fly. He only needs to observe a technique a few times before figuring out how it works. He is skilled enough to disarm, pin, or even judo throw his opponents when necessary. He will attempt to win by any means necessary, even if it means going for the eyes or enduring his opponent's blows head-on.

I don't really have possible match-ups in mind for Ryouga since I already did the one that made the most sense, but it shouldn't be hard to find any for a fast and durable small building tier fighter like Ryouga.

The Ushiromiya Family are the dysfunctional and possibly homicidal elite who gather once a year on Rokkenjima Island for their family reunion. In 1986, the estranged Battler Ushiromiya decided to return to the family he'd left behind, but what he encounters is a pit of torture and sadism he could never have imagined. When the murders start, he must decide: is it the witch Beatrice, or is there a killer in his family's midst?

Battler Ushiromiya, The Endless Warlock

• Rejects his death and frees himself from the enormous wedge running through him after he dies
• His anti-magic is endless, denying a Chiester shot, and Ronove claims even Beatrice's Gungnir wouldn't hurt him
• Rips Eva-trice out of the game board
• Weaponizes the Golden Truth and blasts Dlanor away
• Evaporates a group of goats using a Golden Truth sword
• Recreates Beatrice's physical form
• Evades Bernkastel's onslaught of mystery wedges while solving all he touches

Eva Ushiromiya

• Knows karate and taekwondo
• Shoots Battler through the chest
• As Eva-trice, swirls around thousands of goats before crushing them in the palm of her hand
• As Eva-trice, dumps the infinite theories of what happened on Rokkenjima into Battler's game, which become goatmen that eat Battler's gameboard

Kinzou Ushiromiya

• Dual-wields shotguns
• Created the witch's epitaph to bring Beatrice back to life after the homunculus he trapped her soul in died
• Spies through a crystal ball

George Ushiromiya

• Axe-kicks through Eva-Beatrice's spiderweb
• Decapitates nine goatmen in a single rush
• Stops his kick millimeters from Gaap's nose, having moved so fast that Gaap thought there was a blackout

Jessica Ushiromiya

• Pained by Ronove's damage-reflecting shield but eventually cracks it
• Her iron fist travels at 1225 kph
• Leviathan shanks her in the skull and she cauterizes the hole to keep steady

Maria Ushiromiya

• Using diplomatic privileges, dissolves Kanon's red truth
• The Witch of Origins, with the potential to create things even on a galactic scale in the future
• Claims she doesn't need two to create a universe like Beatrice, she can do it herself

Ange Ushiromiya

• Kept talking to Battler even as red-hot torture instruments pulled her apart
• Summons a golden eagle that rebuffs Bernkastel's red truths and finishes her off
• Winks Beatrice out of existence, then brings her back

Other Members

Krauss

• Dodges a goatman's punch and counters with supposedly the strongest hook in the world, knocking it out so it falls on Virgilia

Kyrie

• Bashes in Jessica's skull with the butt of a rifle
• The massive difference in envy levels between her and Jessica makes it so that the girl's attacks are only effective at 0.2% of their potential

Natsuhi

• Her mirror repels Beatrice's attempt to kill her

Rosa

• Pins Erika to the ground with a gun in her mouth before she can realize what happened
• Scratches Erika's cheek with a pen and claims she wasn't trying

Rudolf

• When Belphegor moves behind him, avoiding his bullet, he reloads the shotgun and turns it on her which takes her by surprise
• He and Kyrie shoot bullets that collide in the space where Erika's brain just was

Usage on WhoWouldWin

Alright, I gotta put it out there. Almost everything you just read? Fake. Dare I say all of it was fake? Anything that happens on a page, unless backed up as objective truth, is something fabricated as a metaphor, or just a tall tale spun by the Game Master, whether it's Beatrice, Battler, Erika, or Bernkastel. Going into the specifics would take too long, and possibly leave you more confused than enlightened, but the core of Umineko as a story is that there is the possibility for a human culprit, without the aid of any magic, to pull off these incredulous murders. It's the player's job to prove such a thing and defeat the Game Master.

If you're suggesting characters to fight against the participants in the Witch's Game, you'll need someone with the power to strip away magic falsehoods, incredible deductive skills with lightning-fast synapses, and maybe even a little magic of their own. Phoenix Wright is often floated as someone who'd be fun to pit against the game, so he'd go head to head with Battler from a spectating position to figure out the truth. The Forger Family might work out well as boots on the ground, between Yor's physical prowess, Loid's brilliance, and the clairvoyance/telepathy combo.

I'm not your doll any longer.

Featuring: Cammy

Cammy White is a clone created from the DNA of the warlord M. Bison with the intent of serving as a backup body should the need ever arise. Deployed as part of Shadaloo's Doll unit with the codename Killer Bee, she undertook a number of assassination, observation and retrieval missions for the group, including the murder of Chun-Li's father.

On one of these missions, she was confronted by Rose, a woman who opposed Bison and had mastery of the mysterious Soul Power. Using this energy she was able to free Killer Bee from her brainwashing and left her on a bench outside the British embassy, with a new name and no memories, to start a new life. Taken in by the Delta Red spec ops team, she fought alongside them to oppose Shadaloo and Bison and uncover the truth of her past.

Using Cammy on WhoWouldWin

Cammy's a pretty straightforward street-level fighter who chiefly favours agility in a fight, preferring to avoid hits rather than tank or block them. Throw her into the ring against other fistfighters and see what you get. Deploying her whole squad to break into some enemy base or the like could also be a debate worth having. Just don't make her fight Sonya Blade again, for the love of god.
