Monday Match-Up

 

Welcome to our Monday Match-Up. Today we are going to throw in a few characters that are not in Marvel or DC…just for fun.

 

Hero Match-Up

Daredevil

 

In one corner, we have Matt Murdock who is a blind lawyer. When Matt was young, he was blinded by chemicals after saving a man and it enhanced his senses. He fights crime in Hell’s Kitchen.

Strengths

Acrobatic

Uses Billy clubs

Enhanced senses

 

Weaknesses

Mortal

Can get distracted if he doesn’t focus his senses

Blind

Ben Affleck

 

Hellboy

 

Hellboy was summoned to earth from hell as an infant. He was discovered by Allied Forces and among them was Trevor Bruttenholm who was head of Paranormal Research and Defense. Basically he was trained to protect the world from dark forces.

 

Strengths

Super human strength

Healing factor

Longevity

His right hand is invulnerable

Fire proof

 

Weaknesses

Cares about others

Soft flesh

Poor combat skills

Large, not particularly agile

 

Let’s Rumble!

 

Rek: Obviously Daredevil. Daredevil is more agile, smarter and can dodge bullets like Neo. He can also take a punch.

Seppin: Can he take a punch from a giant red hand?

Rek: Well if he can take a punch from Unstoppable Man, then he can take a punch from Hellboy.

Seppin: Hellboy has fought some of the biggest Demons ever. Daredevil does mainly street level stuff.

Rek: That means Daredevil knows the streets better than him. He can take him.

Seppin: Yeah, I’m giving it to Daredevil. I really can’t defend Ron Pearlman.

Winner: Daredevil

 

Villains

Dr. Doom

 

 

Victor Von Doom is on a quest for power. He craves and hungers for it. This is mainly for the fact that the demon known as Mephisto has his mother and it really boils down to his quest for saving his mom. Of course, the superhero community doesn’t really see it that way.

 

Strengths

Immense talent of sorcery and science

Incredibly smart

Psychic powers

Mind control and can swap bodies

His suit increases his strength and has advanced weaponry

 

Weaknesses

Very theatrical

His quest for power can lead to self-harm

He’s a mama’s boy

 

Darth Vader

Is it really necessary to explain Vader’s origin?

We think not.

 

Strengths

Trained in the force

Metal arm

Lightsabar

Sith

Highest midiclorin count…ever

 

Weaknesses

The high ground…*evil laugh*

Electricity

He cares about his family

 

Let’s Rumble!

 

Rek: I really want to defend Vader, but Dr. Doom is just ten times better.

Seppin: I’m all the way with Dr. Doom, mate. This is going to be a really lengthy match-up?!

Dr. Doom is just so powerful and right now he is in control of The Secret Wars.

Rek: But Vader did rule the universe.

Seppin: Doom has ruled every universe.

Rek: Adios. Doom wins.

Seppin: But if it is a fight for theatricality…Vader wins. Who else has their own theme song when they walk in a room?

Winner: Dr. Doom
