28 Upvotes

Here they are

  1. He is a big hockey player (let’s say 6 foot four and 250 pounds)

2.He can run faster than a tsunami (in the deep ocean, they can go around 500 mph)

  1. He is I quote “way stronger than daddy” (around five times stronger than the average male)

  2. He can fly but not around his family or friends because he doesn’t want to embarrass anyone

  3. If he punches you, you will fly across the entire city (extremely strong punch force)

Battle Can the TOS Enterprise and its crew conquer Westeros and place Kirk on the Iron Throne, without killing anyone?

27 Upvotes

Some omnipotent space god or other, on a lark, has tasked the crew of the Enterprise to subjugate The Seven Kingdoms lest it destroy the Federation.

Victory is achieved when the leaders of the Great Houses swear an oath of vassalhood to James T Kirk while he sits upon the Iron Throne.

Can the Enterprise make that happen while not killing anyone?

Challenge Sanguinius, gulliman, and rogal dorn (warhammer) and the legio custodes are dropped into the halo universe and tasked to make imperium teritus, can they do it?

13 Upvotes

The 3 primarchs and the entirety of the custdoes get spit out of the warp armed with the vengeful spirit and all its servitors to man the ship.

All 3 factions will react to each other according to their characteristics and what they'd do lore wise.

They are dropped right before the human - covenant war and want to make imperium teritus by either converting UNSC worlds or finding new ones. The goal is to convert at least 1000 worlds to imperial domain and have the emporer tell them he's proud of them.

Battle Caesar and his Ape Society (Planet of the Apes Reboot Trilogy) VS The Thing (John Carpenter, 1982).

3 Upvotes

Instead of crashing in Antarctica, the UFO carrying The Thing crash-lands deep within Muir Woods National Monument on a clear, starry night—not far from Caesar’s colony. By morning, The Thing emerges from the wreckage and begins assimilating the life around it. Sensing something is terribly wrong, Caesar rallies his ape society to confront and kill the looming threat. Both sides (Caesar and his apes, as well as The Thing) are bloodlusted.

  • Round 1: The apes have no prior knowledge of The Thing.
  • Round 2: The apes know what The Thing is and are given 24 hours of prep-time.
  • Round 3: Same as Round 2, but this time Caesar is aided by humans who were close to him during the trilogy (family, friends or even enemies).

Who would likely win and why?

Challenge Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible) replaces Link in the Breath of the Wild universe. Can he get through the timeline?

4 Upvotes

Rules

• Ethan Hunt wakes up in the Shrine of Resurrection in Breath of the Wild. From there, he must defeat Calamity Ganon and then the Demon King in Tears of the Kingdom.

• He awakens not knowing how he got to this new world, on top of why he has this Shekiah Slate. He does retain his memories from his home universe.

• Various individuals who speak to Link in his head to guide him in the right direction will do the same for Ethan Hunt (Ex: Zelda, Monks in Shrines).

• He will attempt to take back control of the Divine Beasts and discover the Secret Stones, as well as reveal the Master Sword's true power in both games. Failing this, he'll still try to defeat Calamity Ganon and then the Demon King. He'll do a bunch of Shrines in order to get stronger and maybe even do some sidequests if he desires.

R1: Ethan Hunt starts off just in some pants, but finds the Old Shirt and Well-Worn Trousers in the two beginning chests. All chest contents contain the same items, which he can ultilize.

R2: All items in the chests have been replaced randomly with equipment from the Mission: Impossible universe. It's guaranteed he quickly finds modern-day clothing with a jacket, alongside his Beretta 8045 Cougar F gun from the first movie. Also, when he picks up arrows, they turn into gun ammo.

R3: Some chests have been converted; others have not. He starts off in a suit. 50/50 chance arrows upon being picked up are changed into gun ammo.

Can Ethan Hunt save Hyrule by defeating Calamity Ganon and then the Demon King?

Challenge The Walking Dead but the wildfire virus only reanimates people who died as a result of homicide. Can the walkers/revenants still take down civilization?

3 Upvotes

This sort of scenario just popped into my head yesterday.

In TWD, everyone was infected and turned when they died by any means and their brain wasn't destroyed. For the purposes of this exercise, homicide is the death of a person as a direct consequence of the actions of another, so includes murder, manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, accidents as a result of human error, armed conflict, etc. A walker biting someone also counts.

The CDC reported roughly 13,000 violent deaths in the US in 2010, the start of the show, or about 35 homicides a day. Extrapolated to the rest of the world (tenuous since death rates are obviously different in different countries), our baseline global zombie population growth is 1200/day, which is pretty close to the figure given by the UN. This is roughly 1% of the global death rate in 2010. For ease of calculation, I'm assuming that the number of homicides that result in brain destruction are marginal.

Is this still enough walkers to collapse society? How quickly could society figure it out and adapt to get homicides to zero? This is also the TWD universe so they don't know what zombies are.

Mutators:

  • Baseline 'revenants' instead become the runners from Daryl Dixon and have acid blood.
  • Add suicides, an additional 2000 to the global baseline. Ignore brain destruction or restraint (i.e. hanging).

Edit: thought the show started in 2013, adjusted figures to 2010 though it didn't have much impact

At any rate, Jin has two ways of battling Shan Yu head on.

R1: Samurai mode. Battle Shan Yu with all skills learned from Iki Island.

R2: Ghost mode. Use tools, arrows and running around the scenery until he can find the fireworks

Battle Guy who can teleport with laser pointer vs. Guy who can switch places with opponent

3 Upvotes

Teleporter guy has a green laser pointer. When he turns on the laser, he will teleport to the location when and where the beam stops (gets scattered or absorbed). His clothes and the laser pointer teleport with him.

Switch places guy has a watch with a button on it. When he presses the button his body position and velocity switch with laser pointer guy. His clothes+watch also teleport with him of course.

Both abilities have a 5 s cooldown. Both fighters have 5+ years of training with their respective weapons but no prep for this particular fight. Fight takes place in a random street in NYC at night. Police and bystanders won't intervene.

Both fighters are not bloodlusted but take the fight seriously. Who wins?
