Amph Comic Book Draft XI: Now Featuring a Stan Lee Cameo: Winner is EmpireForever!

Deathstroke doesn't need to find a weakness. He has the best armour and weaponry, including a promethium sword that could slice right through Steel. And the same goes for Slade, there's no weakness Steel can use against him, plus Slade has genius level intellect and is arguably the best assassin in the DC universe. With prep he comes up with the best and most efficient way to take down any opponent. Add Jericho with his possession ability and Steel's outmatched.

 

Batman vs Superman is in no way open and shut. Not even close to swinging easily Batman's way.

 

but batman prep is kinda different than just batman walking around on the streets.

 

The weaponry will only be good if he manages to get hits on Slade with it. Slade is skilled enough to escape from Superman, so dodging Steel's attacks shouldn't be a problem. Steel's going to need to get quite a few hits on him to get past his Nth metal armour and even then, Slade's skin is as strong as concrete. And Slade's a weaponry master, he's got guns, swords, bombs and anything else the world's best assassin needs. He even once defeated Supergirl with one of his swords, so I don't see why he couldn't do the same with Steel. I'll just leave it at that, because I don't wanna end up repeating myself too much.

For Zod, the only other thing I'll bring up is his military training, which makes him a much better fighter than Superman, as he doesn't just go in for the kill all the time. He's more efficient and has a tactical approach, so once he realises Batman and Catwoman have Kryptonite weapons he's going to think of the most efficient way to get rid of them.

 

I have matches?!

EDIT: Well Magik is cut and dry for sure. The other match...I am not familiar with the Shag but Sasquatch seems a lot like him but my squatch is a genius, super strong, vicious, regeneration, super strong and durable. I will do some sniffing around the net and see what the rub is.

 

I feel fairly confident saying

Shaggy
Magik
Polaris
Maxima
Batcat
Steel
Trump
Metamorpho
Pyms
Bastion

 

pretty agreed there.

 

That ... was a surprisingly quick round, if that's final?

 

5/6


Bishop / Psylocke (forfeit) vs. Moondragon
Ikaris vs. SKAAR

Master Mold vs. Stryfe
Polaris vs. Major Force

Sebastian Shaw vs. Kalibak
Fin Fang Foom vs. Mandarin

Hercules vs. Darkhawk TRUMPED with Iron Fist/Luke Cage
Hellstorm vs. Iron Fist/Luke Cage (forfeit)

Black Knight / Death's Head II vs. Black Panther (prep)
Selene (Prep) vs. Havok

 

Dammit, I was just about to get something up for Deathstroke and Jericho again. I just don't get him losing, considering he's got the same things as Steel, which are prepared weaponry, strength and intelligence, plus a whole lot more skills, tactics, experience taking down all the Justice League members and Jericho's help with his possession ability.

Sebastian Shaw vs. Kalibak. In an all out strength battle, Shaw is likely to win since every attack is just going to make him stronger.

Fin Fang Foom vs. Mandarin. That's more like it. Mandarin has already shown that he can't beat Foom on his own.

 

it's because the ways he's taken down the justice league are pretty major PIS in a lot of instances, and were only to build him up as a credible threat. they also didn't precisely... stick as it were, since he had to run as the surprise ran out.

 

Master Mold vs. Stryfe -- LOL@MM

Sebastian Shaw vs. Kalibak -- Ummmmm, wow. That's amazing. The Beta Club proooooooooooooobably makes it over, but I'm not 100% sure.
Fin Fang Foom vs. Mandarin -- LOL@FFF

Hercules vs. Darkhawk TRUMPED with Iron Fist/Luke Cage -- Darkhawk keeps getting shafted on his matches...
Hellstorm vs. Iron Fist/Luke Cage (forfeit)

Selene (Prep) vs. Havok -- LOL@Havok

Black Knight / Death's Head II vs. Black Panther (prep)
This is actually a hugely interesting one. I'll have to give this one more thought. BK vs. BP one-on-one (without prep) would likely be somewhat even. BK vs. BP (with prep) would be a stomp. However, DH2 is better than both of them on normal days. I'm... not sure prep is enough to overcome that. I'll have to think more about this.

EDIT: Wow. If prepped, BP might have the Ebony Blade as well! That'll be interesting...

 

Initial lean to Panther, FYI

 

Yeah, if he gets the EB while prepped that's a game-changer. Even without I'd need to think about it.

 

Why is Fin Fang Foom so funny? This fight's already happened. Iron Man and Mandarin couldn't beat him by themselves, so they had to join forces and even that took a lot of effort to take him down. With prep, Mandarin might be able to take it, but without it, it's just the same as before. Magic can only do so much.

 

Oh, I thought Mandarin had already smoked FFF prior.

*Mandarin confused*
Fin Fang Room victory

 

#IntyTheater

 

Inty, just so I know what I'm looking at -- does a prepped T'Challa get the Ebony Blade?

 

I could see it. I'm not 100% convinced he should get it.

 

i'm inclined to say no since panther's gm isn't even the one that brought it up honestly.

 

Seriously?!

Darkhawk just can't catch a break.
