Marvel VS DC: Tournament of Death!!

I originally wrote this on my Facebook 'Random Nerdness' blog a few years back. Thought I would reproduce it here. Enjoy:



Random Nerdness #8: Marvel VS. DC... Who Wins?? 
by C.Lockhart 


February 14th, 2010 

Happy Valentines Day To You All!!! 

I worked hard on this one. It required a lot of my nerd knowledge and brain power. Here it is, my masterpiece of total comic book nerdness: 


*** Marvel Comics Versus DC Comics: Who would win?? *** 

In 1996 they did a comic special called 'Marvel VS DC' in which the creative talent of those comic companies created matches between their characters like 'Hulk VS Superman', 'Spider-man VS Super-boy', 'Captain America VS Batman' and so on. Then they had the fans vote on the matches to determine who should win and they went with that. I hated that. They should have had characters drawn from random and have them battle and the winner determined through logic and skill, not fan votes. So with my vast nerd knowledge of Marvel and DC comics I selected 15 characters from each company and randomly drew characters from each company and had them face off against each other. I picked the winner by using logic and reasoning: What powers do each hero or villain have and what weaknesses do each have, and that is how I was able to determine the winner from the random matches. 

I am a nerd who is playing the role of God in this scenario. This is my idea for another Marvel VS DC comic, if this fictional tournament that occurred in my brain were published as a comic book special it would go like this: One DC character and one Marvel character were picked at random, I literally picked names out of a hat. The first match takes place in an old Roman Arena. The Winner will fight against another random challenger from the other comic company at that characters home base (New york City, Metropolis, etc). 29 matches in total. The characters include both heroes and villains from each company. I will explain my reasons for choosing the winners.

Superman-DC 
Apocalypse-Marvel 
Doomsday-DC 
Iron Man-Marvel

Spider-Man is proven to fight against enemies with great technology (Doc Ock, Doc Doom) so he can best Batman that way. Spider-Man also has powers and healing abilities. It will come down to an all out street fight between these 2 and spider-Man will wrap Batman up in his web. 
____________________________

Doc Doom is too powerful for Aquaman when the sea king is out of the sea. 
____________________________

Superman VS Magneto: Magneto! 

Magneto is one of the most powerful mutants and can manipulate metal. They battle on Asteroid M, being in space Magneto manages to find some kryptonite- Magneto throws metal blades (containing kryptonite) through Superman's body, killing him. I may have cheated with this scenario, but Magneto is a lethal and brilliant enemy and I'm sure he would find a cunning way of defeating Superman. Kryptonite and metal: lethal.

Martian Manhunter VS Magneto: Magneto 

Again the master of magnetism uses metal blades to kill the man from Mars. Manhunters telepathic powers cannot penetrate Magnetos helmet.

Ant Man (Hank Pym) is a brilliant scientist who uses his ability to shrink down to the size of an ant to slip past the dummy Doomsday. Ant Man places a micro explosive by Doomsday's eye and detonates it, destroying Doomsday's brain killing him. 
______________________________ 

Match #17: Apokolips

Shaggy Man is super strong, but very dumb. Apocalypse has both brains and brawn. 
__________________________ 

Match #21: Gotham

The Joker is evil but has no powers. Apocalypse destroys him with ease. 
_________________________ 

Match #22: Star City? (Not sure where Captain Marvel comes from...)

Mr Fantastic has technology, but New God technology is more advanced and Orion is more powerful. Mr Fantastic doesn't stand a chance! 

_____________________________ 

Match #26: Nevada Desert 

Orion VS The Hulk: The Hulk 

Even with his 'New God' technology and weapons and super strength, no one is stronger or resilient than the Hulk. The madder the Hulk gets the stronger Hulk gets. It would be an epic and violent battle but Hulk would win. 
____________________________ 

Match #27: Amazon 

Wonder Woman VS The Hulk: The Hulk 

Wonder Woman is no match for the Hulk. 
__________________________________ 

Match #28: Metropolis 

The Flash VS The Hulk: The Flash!! 

The Flash cannot match the strength of the Hulk, but the Flash can move so fast he can literally travel through solid matter. The Flash would grab the Hulk and run with him through the Earth to the molten core of the planet. The Flash would let go of the Hulk, leaving him to burn to death in the molten lava. The Flash moves so fast that he passes right through the molten lava unharmed. 



_______________________________ 

Final Match #29: Canadian Rocky Mountains 

The Flash VS Wolverine: Wolverine 

Flash is fast but Wolverine has a strong sense of smell and his adamantium claws. wolverine would know Flash was approaching by way of smell, then he would simply extend his claws and place them at the right height so that when the Flash ran by (at a slower speed to combat Wolverine) he would run right into the claws, severing the Flash's head from his body. Final winner Wolverine!!! 



______________________________ 

In this Random Matches Tournament, Marvel Comics is the winner with Wolverine as their final champion. Not to brag but this tournament would make an excellent comic book special. 

That's all for Random Nerdness this time. See you on the next exciting episode!!
