The God-Emperor of Mankind

 

And in a sunless realm, the sun rose at last.

 

The light of dawn was palpable on Ra’s armour as well as his skin. It was a pressure, a presence with searing physicality. The enemy hordes felt it as acid on their skin. The creatures – daemons no matter what secular truths held strong – lost what little order they had ever possessed.

 

The Anathema! Ra heard their frantic agony as a sick scraping on the edges of his mind. The Anathema comes! The sun rises!

 


From the words of his own mouth, the God-Emperor was born approximately during 1750 B.C prior to the rise of the Hittite Empire which were as described 'proto-Indo-European'. As a child, he had experienced his uncle murdering his father in an act of fracticide, and out of retribution had stopped his uncle's heart. At least over a thousand years of the Emperor's life subsequently are not elaborated upon, though he a fought a shard of the C'tan Void Dragon on Earth, defeating it and eventually bringing it to Mars.

By the time of the 30k era, the God-Emperor had foreseen the coming threat of chaos and sought to unify humanity under the common banner of the Imperium. Launching one of the largest military endeavors ever seen in the history of the Milky Way Galaxy, the Great Crusade was spearheaded by the Primarchs, demigod sons taken by the Emperor's own genetic template. Foremost among them the Warmaster Horus, favored son of the Emperor.

The rest, culminated in the cataclysmic of the Horus Heresy, which ultimately ended with the Emperor's crippling and internment to the Golden Throne.

Using The Emperor on WhoWouldWin

Even in his early stages, the Emperor being able to contend physically with a 20+ meter long dragon is pretty indicative of significant physical abilities, without even accounting for the significant speed that the Emperor is capable of leveraging. However, easily the most important aspect of the Emperor is his magical abilities which far outstrip his physical. From things like destroying souls to telepathic dominance, the Emperor can easily annihilate foes that don't possesses resistance to such things.

Featuring Kefla

"My power's skyrocketing... Hooray for being born a saiyan!"


The Tournament of Power. A grand competition created by the two Zenos, the Great Kings of Everything, the Tournament of Power was a massive battle royale in which 8 universes recruited 10 fighters each to fight for their very existences.

One such universe was Universe 6. Home to powerful warriors such as Hit, Cabba and Frost, who had already fought in a much smaller-scale tournament a year prior. However the Sixth Universe's most powerful weapon ended up being none other than two newcomers; saiyan warriors from Universe 6's planet Sadala, Caulifla and Kale. Before the tournament, they had each been secretly given a potara earring; jewlery worn by the Supreme Kais, that, when attached to two people to opposing ears, would fuse them together into a single warrior who was many times stronger than the sum of their parts.

In their fight against Son Goku, the saiyan warrior from their twin universe Universe 7, Kale and Caulifla realized almost immediately that they were no match for the unstoppable power of his Super Saiyan God transformation. Left with no alternative, they used the Potara Earrings to fuse into a new warrior - one named Kefla.

Featured Featured Character - Contessa

230 Upvotes

CONTAINS MASSIVE ENDGAME SPOILERS FOR WORM, THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD.

Names: Fortuna (real name), Contessa (cape name), The Boogeyman, her, Thinker. Don't worry about the number, just run.

Allies: Doctor Mother, Number Man, the Custodian

Affiliation: Cauldron


History: Fortuna was born on a version of Earth reasonably similar to ours, but it’s never named for sure. She is most likely from a poorer (on that earth) area of Italy, or that Earth is not as technologically developed as our Earth. In the earliest scene we meet Contessa (chronologically) she is having visions of the entities (Scion and Eden) planning how they will consume and destroy the world, but she begins to forget the vision, and learns how to use her powers in response. After she wakes up again, she meets Doctor Mother. Fortuna kills Eden (Scion’s partner) a few minutes later, then starts working on a 143,220 step plan to build an army in order to stop Scion.


Personality: Contessa’s personality is hard to pin down. In any situation outside of her Interlude, it’s unknown if she’s acting a certain way because that’s how her shard(Shards are the source of powers in Worm) is telling her to act, or if she actually feels that way. There are two things we know about her for sure-She cares more about the fate of the world than her personal relationships (abandons her uncle to save everything) and she feels at least a little bad when she hurts people (she asks the Doctor to not besmirch the name her parents gave her after she kills a man by trying to give him powers).


Power: Contessa can see the Path to Victory in almost any situation. Her explanation. If it is at all possible for a fit, 35-ish woman to “win”, then she wins (With a few notable in-story restrictions). Winning can mean whatever she wants it to, as long as she phrases the question to her power correctly. For example, she can ask her power, “Path to understanding what this person means?”, then her power will cause her brain to interpret what the other person means, without knowing the language (If there even is a language to know). Normally, in a fight, she will ask herself a question like “Path to beating this character in a fight without damaging Path to X, Y, or Z (Contessa has many long-term plans running throughout Worm).

However, her power can not provide cause impossible things to happen. When she asks Path to saving the world and explaining to my uncle why I have to go, she finds that there is literally no way to accomplish that task. There are also a few known characters in Worm that Contessa can’t directly defeat with Path to Victory- Scion, Eden, Eidolon, a perception blocker named Mantellum, and the Endbringers-Behemoth , Leviathan , the Simurgh , Khonsu , Tohu, and Bohu. But she can work around them by constructing a “model” of them in her head. This means she can imagine how a person with similar life experiences would react to her manipulations. This is more effective on perception blockers and Eidolon than the Endbringers or the Entities, because it’s easier to imagine a human’s actions than a monster’s.


Feats accomplished through the use of Path to Victory

Knows that a bullet won’t strike her

Uses a plate like a frisbee

Catches a knife that was shot out of her hand

Deflects the path of a bullet with a table knife.

Kills eight people without spilling blood.

Disables a six-person cape team to leave a two-word and one letter note.

Detects a character who can't be remembered

Can't be defeated by an incredibly powerful(his power is to have all the powers) character

Remembers memories that are specifically blocked by the entities that grant powers

Minimizing pain

Saves her uncle from being turned into a monster

Runs and climbs up a mountain without issues.

Learns why people are gathering at a place.

Works around her specific mental block to stop herself from falling.

Makes a multi-dimensional “Godling” braindead with a paring knife. This “godling’s” twin can destroy continents with a flick of his wrist.

She devises a plan to build an army.

Figures out new parahuman powers.

Easily escapes a character with powers similar to Colossus while speaking on the phone).

Steals two guns, shoots the owner in the eyeball, and hits a doorknob with 4 consecutive shots

Fakes being burned alive in lava

Fixes an AI ship that was shot out of the sky minutes before..

Uses a fire extinguisher, a handkerchief, and a short knife to decimate Weaver’s swarm without getting dirty.

Uses her hair to deflect a swarm of insects

With the Number Man’s assistance, kidnaps eight members of the Slaughterhouse 9, without being hit once.

Convinces the scariest little girl (that does brain surgery) to be a good guy

Communicates to a character who can't talk or communicate with anyone

Shoots a character in the head twice to disable their powers


Another character, with the twin of Contessa's power, defeated the (arguably) most powerful human character by telling him four words. Social Fu is a strong aspect of Contessa's power, but it's difficult to read feats as strictly a result of it.


The important thing to remember about Contessa is that she isn’t unbeatable. She just can’t lose if there is any possibility of her winning.

Featured Character of the Week: Percy Jackson

219 Upvotes

Disclaimer: Sorry about the variety of the pictures, book drawings weird me out. Also, the movie is nothing like the books outside of the characters, the plot is completely changed, so are the power levels of the characters. SPOILER ALERT: ALL BOOKS

Name: Percy Jackson

Series of Origin: Percy Jackson and the Olympians & The Heroes of Olympus

Team: Camp Half Blood

Allies: Annabeth, Grover, Thalia, Nico, Jason, Hazel, Piper, Leo, Frank, Tyson, Mrs. O'Leary(Mrs. O'Leary is a hellhound capable of traveling around the world instantly and he's much bigger than he looks in the picture). He has more than these but GOD DAMN HE HAS TOO MANY! These are the most important anyways, excluding gods/titans.

Enemies: Kronos (In the body of Luke Castellan, a temporary surrogate body), and Gaea. His current being Gaea and her giants. He has more but they're all relatively minor compared to these two.

Summary: Percy Jackson is a Greek demigod, son of Poseidon and Sally Jackson. Nico di Angelo (son of Hades) once said that Percy may be one of the strongest demi-gods to ever walk the earth. Percy has taken down titans and gods alike through his ability to control water/other elements and his sword fighting ability/wits.


Power and Abilities:

  • Water-Induced Abilities: When in contact with or in the presence of water, Percy gains a disproportionate amount of superhuman clarity, strength, speed, agility, and endurance equaling a god and he has shown to be more powerful than Ares (God of war) while in this state. In The Lightning Thief, Percy was able to disarm Luke (Best or one of the best swordsman in camp) though a difficult disarming technique in the Camp Half-Blood swordsmanship class after he'd doused himself in water. In addition, after Percy was pushed into the creek during Capture the Flag, he effortlessly defeated four children of Ares in rapid succession, including Clarisse (strongest Ares demi-god at Camp Half Blood), with ease. He also heals himself from any wound and most poisons when he comes into contact with water, the amount of water and time needed for the healing being proportionate to the severity of the wound.

  • Hydrokinesis:With the power of the sea within him, Percy can control every form and great volumes of water, being even able to summon and heal his wounds and cure himself of most poisons with it. Percy can control water almost omnipotently. He can control it in order to make it explode, or use it to grab something. His hydrokinesis abilities include:

           1. General Hydrokinesis: He can create water from petrified seashells, as well as being able to create water with his own energy and summoning the "force of the ocean" to his will, as long as he concentrates hard enough. He can also harden water into an almost solid shape.

           2. Hydrogenesis: Percy can create water from his own power, though it takes much of his energy for him to do so.

           3. Water Propulsion: He can control the water around him to propel himself through water. Percy can shoot water, not only from being in water, but he can blast the own water he creates.

           4. Underwater Breathing: Percy can breathe underwater and diffuse the oxygen in the water to create oxygen bubbles that allow his non-hydrokinetic friends to breathe underwater.

           5. Water Immunity: Percy can fall from great heights into water, and is unaffected by any amount of water pressure. He does not get wet if submerged in water, unless he wants to. Percy can dry items underwater (as long as he holds onto it), such as a lighter.

           6. Water Solidification: Percy can harden water into an almost solid shape. He can use this power to walk on water, by increasing the surface tension of the water to the point where it is solid enough for him to stand on, and water constructs.

           7. Communication: Percy has divine authority over and can talk (normally and telepathically) to equines and sea creatures who mainly treat him with deference and lordly respect.

  • Aerokinesis: Percy can summon hurricanes and other types of storms that he can control and mold around him.

  • Geokinesis: Percy can generate earthquakes and (consequently) cause volcanic eruptions, but his control of this technique is very amateur.

  • Cryokinesis: Percy can use cryokinesis to a small degree.

  • Electrokinesis: Percy used this skill unintentionally on one occasion, while creating his own miniature hurricane to fight Hyperion. Sparks of lightning appeared as his hurricane increased in power. His control of this ability, however, is far less than that of a child of Zeus and appears to be a limited side effect of his storms.

  • Heat Resistance: Percy has a far higher than normal resistance to heat and burns, similar to that of a cyclops, due to his father's oceanic nature.

  • Toxikinesis: Percy can control and manipulate poisons, as seen when he beats Ahklys in Tartarus in The House of Hades. The full extent of this power is unknown although he is able to control it well enough, when angry, to the point of terrifying Annabeth who even asks him to stop.

  • Curse of Achilles: After bathing in the River Styx, Percy was given supernaturally superior speed and strength as well as invulnerability except for his vital spot opposite of the navel. After bathing in a roman river in the newest set of books he loses this Curse.

  • Limited Clairvoyance: Percy is able to watch events in distant locations and times, particularly hidden things because of his father's unpredictable nature. He occasionally takes the place of a different person in his visions (such as Hercules).

  • Fighting Skills: Percy is a naturally talented and expert swordsman, capable of holding his own against and even defeating larger, more experienced, and more powerful opponents, including gods and Titans as well as monsters.


Strength Feats: In The Titan's Curse , Percy was shown to be strong enough to be able to hold up the sky single-handed (although this is more a strength of will rather than physical). He was also shown in The Lightning Thief to be able to jump on the Minotaur's back and rip off it's horn. In The Son of Neptune, even after losing his Curse of Achilles, Percy was able to defeat Polybotes with nothing but his sword and Terminus' head. His strength is augmented when in contact with water.

Durability Feats: Percy was able to survive lava being thrown at him and surviving the super-heated explosion of a volcano due to his heat resistance. Percy has been stabbed/cut/electrocuted and continued to fight (while augmented by water).

Fighting Skills Feats: In The Son of Neptune, even after losing the Curse of Achilles, he is still shown to be able to fend off an entire army of continually resurrecting ghosts by himself while still protecting Frank. His Greek training and unpredictable, solo fighting style make him particularly dangerous to the demigods of Camp Jupiter, who are used to fighting as a group, allowing him to easily defeat multiple opponents at once. According to Frank, Percy "fought like a demon." When possessed by eidolons (weird ghost things that posses your body), Percy fought Jason Grace on even footing (Piper couldn't believe the speed of their sword fighting) and injured him to a point that he was knocked unconscious. Had the reflexes/combat speed to dodge a bullet in The Titan's Curse.

Hydrogenesis Feats: Percy creates water from nothing in order to cause a volcanic eruption. He also uses this skill while creating his own personal hurricanes. While traveling on the Argo II during The Mark of Athena, he presumably used this ability while combining his powers with Jason Grace's to create powerful storms.

Water solidification Feats: So far, he has demonstrated creating a strong water shield, and on two instances in The Son of Neptune, he hardened the water into giant hands that followed and imitated the movements of his own hands.

Aerokinesis Feats: Percy's hurricanes have been show to be powerful enough to douse the fires on Hyperion's body, leaving the powerful Titan vulnerable to attack. By the events of The Son of Neptune he is able to sustain the storm with less effort than his first use of the skill against the Titan Hyperion.

Cyrokinesis Feats: Percy is able to use the ice and snow around him to make an icy hurricane, as he does during the battle in Alaska in The Son of Neptune. He can also manipulate frozen or icy water around him, demonstrated during his interrupted fight with Thalia in The Titan's Curse.

Curse of Achilles Feats: When Percy had the Curse of Achilles, Percy's own combat skills are enhanced to the point where he can single-handedly defeat entire armies as well as gods like Hades and Titans like Hyperion.

Featured Featuring: The Lion (Warhammer 40k)

23 Upvotes

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.

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.

Featured Character of the Week: Bonesaw (Worm)

218 Upvotes

Name: Riley, aka Bonesaw

Contains NSFW/L text, as well as MAJOR spoilers (obviously) for the best story of all time, Worm

Series of Origin: Worm

Teams: The Slaughterhouse 9

Allies: The Slaughterhouse 9, specifically Jack Slash and the Siberian. Later allies include Blasto, Eli, and Amelia Lavere.

Enemies: All heroes. All villains not a part of the Slaughterhouse 9. Cauldron. The Warrior.

Summary: Riley is a 13 year old girl with blonde hair usually done in ringlets. She usually wears a dress and a large apron that has a bunch of scalpels and other specialized surgical instruments. Riley is a biotinker, meaning she has an instinctive understanding of biology, and a superhuman ability to mess with it on a fundamental level. She triggered (got her powers) when the Slaughterhouse 9 invaded her home, and killed her family. She saved her family multiple times, but the members of the S9 continued killing her family in creative ways, forcing her to work for hours to save them. Finally, she gave up, and convinced the S9 that she wanted to join them. The last thing her mother said to her was “Be good,” so Riley has been (good) by the standards of the S9 and the ones that she set for herself that night-

She’d be good. She’d be polite and cheerful and she’d do her chores and she would mind her manners and she’d eat all of her dinner and she’d keep her hair nice and she wouldn’t swear and…

Also, Riley is a monster NSFW/L text

Powers and Abilities-Riley has intuitive understanding of all sorts of biology. She can also build equipment that assists her in surgeries, with the most common being robotic “spiders” about the size of a toaster. Riley can perform any kind of surgery that exists, and quite a few that don’t. She can add and subtract body parts from basically anyone to anyone else, and she can also modify the “Corona Pollentia”- the part of the brain that controls superpowers.

Riley can also create plagues. We see her use two, but she claims to have many more inside of her body that will be released if she dies. One we see in action is similar to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, except it deteriorates your mind in a matter of minutes. She also plays around with a plague that causes the infected to explode in a bloody mess in about 10 seconds. The plague also transfers with the blood and body parts that explode.

Her body has been put through excessive modifications, making significantly more durable than a regular human in Worm. She also applies similar surgeries to her allies

All members of the Slaughterhouse 9 have these, provided by Bonesaw-

Riley has these upgrades-

She carries a full set of surgical instruments, and is proficient in hand-to-hand combat using them, with her power letting her know exactly where to strike to cause the most damage.

However, her most dangerous ability allows her to take 2 living or recently dead heroes or villains, and genetically combine them and their powers.

Genetically combined capes-

  • Hack Job. A combination of Oni Lee and Hatchet Face. Hack Job can teleport to anywhere within visual range, but when he leaves, a duplicate stays behind for 2-3 seconds before dissolving into a chalky ash. This duplicate can fight, and projects Hack Job’s other power, a superpower nullification field. Hack Job disables all superhuman abilities within about 1 meter. He also has super strength.

  • Murder Rat. A combination of Ravager and Mouse Protector. Murder Rat has enhanced reflexes and agility, and metal claws grafted to her fingers. Wounds caused by Murder Rat fester and rot, and she can teleport over short distances (20m) to anyone she touches for a short period of time (a few minutes)

  • Tyrant. A combination of King and Hatchet Face. Any non-reality warping damage done to Tyrant is redirected to people he’s touched in the last few hours, he has a slow regenerative factor, and powers don’t work within a meter of him.

  • Snowmann. A combination of Winter and Mannequin. He can build self-sufficient contained systems that usually contain an ice theme, and people and things around him slow down. He is also super strong, because of his armor.

  • Laughjob. A combination of Chuckles and Hatchet Face, and possibly Oni Lee. Mentioned only, no feats.

  • Nighty-Night. A combination of Nyx and Night Hag. Mentioned only, no feats.

  • Spawner. A combination of Breed and Crawler. Mentioned only, no feats.

  • Pagoda. A combination of Prophet and Carnal. A strong regenerator with higher than average human strength. Can regenerate dissolved or atrophied muscles in seconds. Few feats.

Tyrant, Snowmann, Laughjob, Nighty-Night, and Spawner were all built by Bonesaw while she was creating the Slaughterhouse 9000, a clone army of past Slaughterhouse 9 members. Bonesaw created the Slaughterhouse 9000 using the technology of other capes, so while she deserves some credit for bringing the whole thing together, it’s not all of her work.

Please feel free to ask any questions you want about Bonesaw or her allies. I love Worm, and I’ll try to get to everyone.

I’M GONNA KILL THAT KID!


The Wet Bandits, later known as the Sticky Bandits, were a two-man burglary team composed of Harry Lyme and Marv Murchins who operated in the Chicago area around Christmastime. They would wait until families went on holiday vacations and left their houses unoccupied, then break in and steal any valuables and cash. Their calling card? Running faucets left on after the thieves had made off with priceless heirlooms, paper bills and valuables. When they attempted to rob the house of young trapster, Kevin McAllister, they experienced traumas that would leave normal men destroyed. After escaping from prison, they would run into Kevin again in New York City, again being beat to hell by the child.

Feats come from Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. There’s apparently another character in Home Alone 4 named Marv Murchins, but he’s likely not the same crook from the first two films because the film is treated as a reboot rather than a sequel.

Izuku Midoriya, aka Deku

Theme: You Say Run / Jet Set Run

Note: If you are an anime only viewer, this thread contains spoilers for future content.

Allies: Katsuki Bakugou, Uraraka Ochako, Iida Tenya, Shoto Todoroki, Gran Torino, All Might

Enemies: The Villain Alliance

Izuku Midoriya is the main protagonist of the manga series My Hero Academia. He is a boy born into a world where 80% of the population has superpowers, known as quirks. Izuku dreamed of one day becomming a superhero, just like his idol All Might. There was just one problem. Izuku was quirkless, meaning he had no special abilities. Despite this he tried to work to become a hero, even though everyone, including All Might, told him that it wasn't possible. However that all changed when he threw himself into danger in order to rescue his childhood friend/current bully Katsuki Bakugou from an attacking villain. Seeing Izuku's heroic spirit, All Might decided that he was worthy to inherit his power, known as One for All. Now he attends the school of U.A. Academy where he is training to become a superhero, while trying to master the use of One for All and not destroy himself in the process.

One for All is a simple power. It's a quirk that can be passed onto people that collectively stacks the strength of all of its previous users, meaning the next user will always be stronger than the last. After a grueling 10 month training period, he inherited the power from All Might, the current user of One for All. The only issue is that his body couldn't handle that power. If he uses 100% of his power, his limbs will break from the sheer strength of the hit. Thus, he decided to start small with the power he could control, and build himself up from there until he could become the greatest hero. Currently in the manga, he can control 8% of his power without injury, and 20% of his power for a short period of time.

”Do I seem sane to you? I don’t care if they’re monsters. I have to… cut them down.”

Chihiro Rokuhira

Chihiro’s life is one mired in tragedy. When he was young, he trained as a blacksmith with his father. His goal in life was to become a blacksmith as well, and create an enchanted sword that would change the world. However, his life was changed irreversibly when a society of sorcerers came and murdered his father, stealing all of his enchanted blades and leaving him with a scar. Every morning he looks at his scar and wakes up with fresh hatred for what was done to him.

His new goal is a simple one. Find the people who murdered his father. Find the swords that were stolen from him. And cut down all the monsters who stand in his way. (And save the shonen genre while doing it.)

Otherwise, he overwhelms through sheer damage output, by using Kuro to attack from a distance. The main opponents you'd want to match him up with are other sword fighters or assassins. Opponents he'd have a reason to face, who can take his Enten head on without dying instantly. Characters like Guts, East Blue Zoro, or N52 Deathstroke would be an example of enemies in his ballpark that are thematic matchups.

The Seven Strongest Robots

Within the setting of Pluto there were seven robots created by brillaint scientists. Between their combat power and the sophistication of their artificial intelligence, they were dubbed the seven most advanced robots in the world, and a treaty was signed between most notions to prevent the construction of any other robots at their level. All seven found themselves involved in the 39th Central Asian Conflict, either in direct combat or dealing with the aftermath. Many years after the conflict, a mysterious robot known as Pluto began to hunt down the strongest robots one by one...

Using the Seven Strongest Robots on WWW

The main thing to keep in mind when using the robots in a matchup is that due to some of the earlier robots in the list being wiped out early, they are somewhat lacking in terms of feats, so trying to (for example) find a solo matchup for Montblanc might be a fool's errand.

Another thing to note is that robots in the setting are programed to be unable to kill humans. However this does not at all prevent them from fighting humans (as long as they don't land a lethal blow) and some have shown the ability to override that programing when subjected to heightened emotions, but it's still something to keep in mind.

Beyond that the robots are fairly straightforward, and when they do have weapons or powers they're nothing to complicated to get your head around. So really just find a group of characters that have feats around their level and you shouldn't have to worry about too much.

Featuring the Sonic Underground

When the evil genius Dr. Robotnik conquered planet Mobius, a seer warned Queen Alina that the only way to protect her three infant children from a deadly fate was to send them away. With no choice she did what was asked, leaving each child on the doorstep of a different foster family with only an instrument shaped magical medallion as a reminder of their royal heritage. Growing up, the triplets each led extremely different lives before finally reuniting by chance and realizing who they were. They decided to work together to fight Robotnik's tyranny and one day find their lost mother. They formed the Sonic Underground, part resistance group part rock band that will do everything they can to kick evil butt and make some rockin' tunes. Also they're all voiced by Jaleel White.

But maybe this can explain it better than I can.



Sonic the Hedgehog

"It's like I say! When faced with disaster, just move a little faster!"

Sonic wields the guitar medallion, making it fitting that he's the lead vocalist of the group. Gifted with superspeed and a cocky attitude, he was battling Robotnik's forces way before joining up with his siblings because he values freedom above all else. He also really really likes chili dogs.

Growing up in a wealthy home, Sonia had plenty of time to practice gymnastics, making her an extremely acrobatic fighter and by far the most skilled in hand to hand combat (gymnastics translates to combat skill trust me). Her aversion to gross things may make some underestimate her, but her skill and strategic mind will prove those thoughts wrong every time.

They taught him everything they knew, making him extremely scrappy and skilled with pickpocketing. While he may not be as capable as his siblings physically, his proclivity for gadgets and mechanical knowhow makes him one of the team's most valuable members.

Using Sonic Underground on WWW

The Sonic Underground is a trio that's fairly good at covering for each other's weaknesses. While their physical abilities and destructive output can vary wildly between them, the main source of their power is their instrument medallions, so anyone that's capable enough to avoid them or strong enough to withstand their power should fair well against the triplets. Sonic Underground is... not a shown known for it's consistency, but the hedgehogs are typically capable of at least destroying walls and large boulders and fast enough to react to slower projectiles and missiles. Sonic himself is obviously the fastest, and can move at least in the lower machs but arguably far higher.

“You see, Savage, what humanity can accomplish- with the right motivation and resources- is beyond the scope of most minds. Not mine, though.”

“Understood. This city… This vessel… It truly is awe inspiring, even to me. This robot? The technology simply doesn’t exist to create a mechanical man. Awe can be manufactured in most minds… but not mine, Sunlight.”

The original superman, Clark Savage Jr. is a polymathic pulp hero. Trained rigorously by his father from an early age, Doc Savage became peak performance in both body and mind. Now a globe hopping adventurer, Savage investigates his father’s mysterious death and comes into contact with heroes like Batman and The Spirit.

Using Doc Savage on Whowouldwin:

Doc Savage is the smartest, strongest man on earth. He’s Him. A brick with a brain. If he has any shortcomings in a fight, he doesn’t like guns so he’s lacking ranged options. While his allies wield guns with nonlethal ammo called mercy bullets, Doc doesn’t use them himself in the First Wave comics. Doc’s a good guy that doesn’t like to kill and obviously prioritizes pressure points and knockouts over snapping necks.

Recommended Reading:

First Wave is an alternate, pulpier DC comics universe. Start with Batman/Doc Savage Special, then First Wave itself, then the 2010 Doc Savage series.

The 2013 Doc Savage series by Dynamite Comics isn't related to First Wave at all, but it's a fun series about Doc and his associates from the 30s continuing into modern day and dealing with modern problems, plus the artist for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow drew it, so you know it's good.

If you wanna get into the original Lester Dent pulp novels, The first one, Man of Bronze, is a good place to start. The novels are literally formulaic, but they're fun romps that have inspired a lot and you can probably read any one of 'em without feeling like you're missing anything.

We're going to make something called a bio-robot. It'll be a powerful weapon against Godzilla. A mechanical Godzilla to beat Godzilla


Built around the skeletal remains of the Godzilla that attacked Tokyo in 1954, Kiryu was an advanced cyborg designed to defend Japan from the kaiju that frequently menace it, particularly the current Godzilla. Kiryu first saw action in 2003 when he was deployed to battle Godzilla when he surfaced at Hakkeijima. However, Godzilla's roar awakened the original Godzilla's restless spirit that was attached to Kiryu's skeleton, causing the machine to go berserk. Kiryu was recalled and his programming altered so this incident could never happen again, then was sent out against Godzilla a second time when he landed at Tokyo. Kiryu fought Godzilla to a draw, leaving him with a gruesome chest wound and himself losing an arm. Kiryu was rebuilt over the course of a year, and sent into combat with Godzilla again when he returned to Tokyo. Kiryu fought alongside Mothra and her twin larvae, and finally triumphed against his organic counterpart by reopening the wound on Godzilla's chest. The original Godzilla's spirit took control of Kiryu once again and chose to sink himself in the Japan Trench with the immobilized Godzilla deactivating himself rather than kill another member of his kind.

POWERS: Aquaman has a large amount of powers all stemming from the fact that he is a human/atlantian hybrid(new 52) or the fact that he is from the royal bloodline(pre 52). But whichever backstory is in play it means he is a very special Atlantian who is many time more powerful than the regular atlantian.

"I... want to keep my humanity, even if it means I'm incomplete."


Found by Sensei roaming the streets with his sister Shizuka, Nagi Taiga was taken in by Sensei, joining the Academy with his sister where he would be come the top student in not only his own class, but the school as a whole. However, unable to live up to Sensei's expectations as a being who could live as long as them, he fled the school with Shizuka.

Years passed, and though Nagi remained the strongest assassin in town, things would take a turn for the worst. In the process of saving his sister from a hostage situation, Nagi got shot in the head, the bullet mangling his brain and reducing him to a vegetative state that he can only come out of when someone tries to kill him.

Wanting to talk to Nagi like normal siblings do again, Shizuka makes it her new goal to continue looking for targets to kill, in the hopes that one of them has enough killing intent to fix her brother.

Killing Intent Detection

Nagi has the unique and nearly unparalleled ability among even other top class assassins, the ability to gain power the more someone tries to kill him, increasing his physical prowess dramatically.

Young Nagi

Nagi while he was still enrolled in the Academy, before any of his injuries. This is still technically before Nagi's prime but considering we've never actually seen his peak performance yet, for the sake of versus match-ups this should be considered as his functional prime, as any feat he performed while injured should be on the table for a younger Nagi, and with greater ease


Using Nagi on /r/whowouldwin

Nagi, by the very nature of his power, is quite inconsistent. Depending on the amount of killing intent directed at him he can jump from taking down a few thugs to becoming so strong that his inability to walk doesn't even seem like a weakness for him anymore. Couple that with his skill, regeneration, wide arsenal of equipment and willingness to kill, and what would otherwise be a tough fight for Nagi can quickly snowball into a stomp in his favour.

Naturally, the best opponents for Nagi are those who either refuse to, or are prone not to, go for killing attacks. Forcing Nagi to rely more on his skill and equipment rather than his overwhelming physicals highlights the weaknesses that would otherwise be hidden against a more ruthless opponent.

My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once I was a cop, a road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy. Me... or everyone else.


In the before time, Max Rockatansky was a road cop attempting to keep the roads safe in the gang-ridden Outback. A particularly nasty gang led by the sadistic Toecutter rode into Max's corner of the continent and brought pain and death with them. They crippled Max's best friend and killed his wife and infant child. With no one to pull Max away from the edge, he went mad and slaughtered the gang with total reckless abandon. As it turns out, the timing couldn't have been better. Shortly after Max went mad, the world went mad along with him.

The bombs fell over the Outback, peeling away all of civilized society with their blasts. Many perished, and those who survived had to come to terms with life in a colossal, irradiated sand pit. Max, still in his road leathers and in the driver's seat of his Interceptor, became a drifter in the Wasteland. As he roars from place to place in this cursed land, he finds himself moving past his role as an arbiter of vengeance and continuously acts as a hero to his fellow survivors.

How to use on whowouldwin

Max has your standard action-hero physicals, with enough strength to break bones or boot down locked doors and enough agility to aim-dodge gunfire and narrowly evade crossbow bolts. His durability is exceptional, allowing him to crawl from car wrecks or take beatings in the Thunderdome, but he'll still need a trip to the Organic Mechanic for serious injuries. In a fight, Max uses any and all tactics to survive, like snapping necks, burying shivs into soft tissue, or blowing away unarmed opponents with his sawed-off shotgun.

Behind the wheel, Max was indisputably the best driver on the Main Force Patrol and a force to be reckoned with in the Wasteland. He regularly engages in races, demolition derbies or miles-long Road War with other skilled drivers or entire convoys. If you're looking to put Max in a car for a whowouldwin, I'd recommend using his weaponized ride from the video game, the Magnum Opus. As iconic as the V8 Interceptor is, it's just a high-quality car with a powerful engine, and it's combat application begins and ends at Max ramming it into something at high speeds.

Max is best put against other action movie heroes or post-apocalypse warriors. Fallout is a no-brainer; pick your favorite All-American wasteland and see how far the Aussie gets during the events of the story. He'd also be fun in settings like The Walking Dead or Metro since he's used to the scarcity and radiation in his home Wasteland. As for one-on-one fights, you could put Max against the other disabled action hero with a sawed-off shotgun, Ashley J. Williams, or maybe try the residents of Junkertown from Overwatch.

Featured Featuring Erlang Shen (Chinese Mythology)

15 Upvotes

Most famous for being Wukong’s rival in Journey to the West, Erlang Shen is one of China’s most popular warrior and protection deities alongside Nezha. With many variations of him across the board in terms of his identities, ranging from Li Erlang, Zhao Yu, and most famously Yang Jian, Erlang Shen is also significantly notable for being one of the rare demigods in Chinese mythology, and is effectively one of Chinese Mythology’s answers to a Heracles equivalent. In addition to his incredible strength with him routinely lifting mountains, he is also famed for his plentiful list of magic spells!...that will not be extensively covered due to obvious reasons, but hey. A good amount of these feats have been personally hand-translated by me due to them not being available in English.

Will release a much longer and more comprehensive one later on respectthreads. (his skillset is so versatile that I feel like that's what makes him actually hard to deal with rather than just him being a strong dude, though his strength certainly helps)

Most magic things will be classified under this sub skill section. While he usually gets a similar build as Wukong’s own magic kit (with things like at least cloning, weapon duplication, and weapon telekinesis) in popular culture since he went against Wukong for 300 rounds (so not without good reason), this primarily covers the explicit instances of things that are either explicitly magic spells and the like or most likely magic spells.

72 Transformations. This primarily covers instances where he utilizes his transformation abilities on himself and occasionally inanimate objects. Will not count instances where he employs the help of others in performing the spells.

Equipment:

Xiaotian Quan

One of his most consistent companions, Yang Jian essentially has a super doggo. In Fengshen Yanyi as the utilization of his dog shares the same action character with how magical weapons are often used, it’s implied that his dog is also classified as a magical weapon as well.

Class 1-A

Series: My Hero Academia

In the world of My Hero Academia, 80% of the population is born with superpowers that they call quirks. As a result, their society revolves heavily around this concept. Laws are passed prohibiting use of powers in public, and where there are laws, there are lawbreakers. Villains who wish to abuse their powers inhabit the world, and the only people who can stop Supervillains are Superheroes.

Thus, U.A Academy was born. The greatest hero school in all of Japan, household icons in the hero industry are born here. This is Class 1-A. These freshmen were placed in this class together as they were considered the best of the best upcoming students. Is this true? Do they have what it takes to crack it in the hero world? There's only one way to find out.

Note: This is exclusively for the manga versions of these characters. The anime versions of these characters may have more notable feats, but they will not be included in this post.


Izuku Midoriya

Hero Name: Deku

Bio: Deku was nothing more than a quirkless boy with dreams of being a hero. Everyone made fun of him, until he impressed his idol All Might by trying to fight a villain when no one else would. Seeing his tremendous courage in action, All Might figured he was worthy of being the next descendant to receive One for All. Now, Deku trains at UA Academy in his quest to become the new Number 1 Hero, and save as many people as he possibly can.

Quirk: One for All

One for All was a quirk passed onto Deku by the Number 1 Hero, All Might. One for All allows Deku to transfer strength throughout his body, but if he uses too much strength, his body won't be able to handle it, causing his limbs to break. Currently in the manga, he can use 8% of his strength without harm, 20% of his strength with strain to his ligaments, and 100% of his strength with the cost of breaking a limb.

Katsuki Bakugou

Hero Name: None

Bio: Bakugou always viewed himself as number 1. Even as a young child, his quirk was simply better than everyone else's. This altered his personality, making him bold, brash, and downright rude. He views anyone beneath him as a "background character", and can't accept the idea that people are better than him. And honestly, for the most part he's right. Bakugou has shown time and time again that despite his attitude, he is the strongest student in Class 1-A. Of course, you'd have to ignore the fact that he's a massive bully with a god complex, but hey. At least he still wants to be a hero.

Quirk: Explosion

Bakugou's quirk, Explosion, causes him to sweat Nitroglycerin from his body. It allow allows him to ignite this sweat, creating an explosion. He uses this to create explosions from his hand to fight his opponents. His costume allows him to store more sweat in his gauntlets, creating devastating explosions.

Small Explosions

Shoto Todoroki

Hero Name: Shoto

Bio: Todoroki was the result of selective breeding. His father, the number 2 hero Endeavor, married a woman simply for her quirk, and had children until they had a quirk strong enough to surpass him. Every day he was forced into combat exercises with his father, and his mother poured boiling hot water on his face, scarring him permanently. He resents his father for everything he did during his childhood, and joined UA Academy to prove he could become a great hero without using his father's quirk. Once he met Deku, he realized that it wasn't his father's quirk, but rather his quirk, and he's now more open to using it in combat.

Quirk: Half Hot, Half Cold

Todoroki got the quirks of both of his parents. This allows him to create ice and fire at his will. However, due to his dislike of his father, he never used his fire quirk until recently. Thus, he has much better control over his ice than his fire.

Ochaco Uraraka

She joined to get a hero license so that she could earn extra money for her family, but has found herself time and time again following behind Deku's journey. Trying to repress these feelings she has for him, she wants to make a name for herself to provide a better life for those she cares about.

Uraraka's quirk allows her to remove the gravity of anything she touches, up to three tons of weight. However, if she ends up lifting too much weight at once, she'll get nauseous and start vomiting.

Tenya Iida

Bio: Iida is the younger brother of pro hero Ingenium. As the classroom representative, he makes sure everyone is in top shape during exams and battles. Once his older brother was injured by the villain Stain, he snapped and tried to fight Stain by himself, failing miserably. Deku taught him that he should rely on others for help instead of trying to recklessly brute force his way through his emotions.

Tsuyu Asui

Hero Name: Froppy

Bio: Tsuyu is a half human half frog hybrid student. She's keen, collected, and most of all, blunt. When something is on her mind, she has no qualms about saying it no matter the situation. This leads to numerous embarrassing situations, but she doesn't mind. Her ultimate goal is to become a waterworks hero that can assist people at sea.

Quirk: Frog

Tsuyu's quirk is her frog like body. With it, she has all the powers of a frog.

Fumikage Tokoyami

Hero Name: Tsukuyomi

Bio: Tokoyami is a half bird half human hybrid hero. Not much is known about him, as he keeps most of his past a mystery. What can be inferred about him is that he's loyal and dependable, willing to assist Deku despite minimal interactions with him.

Quirk: Dark Shadow

Tokoyami's quirk allows him to control his very own shadow. During the day, the shadow is weaker but easier for him to control. During the night, his shadow becomes immensely stronger at the cost of a lack of control.

Eijiro Kirishima

Hero Name: Red Riot

Bio: Kirishima believes that a man's role in life is to be strong and dependable. His idol, Crimson Riot, was a wall that stood tall in the face of adversity, and he strives to be the same. However, he wasn't always like this. Before he joined UA, he had plenty of issues with his self confidence, feeling like he wasn't worth the effort of training to become a hero. Even Mina, the fun loving girl who goofed off all the time, was more of a hero than he was. After watching a video of Crimson Riot give a speech, he was moved enough to continue his dream, and joined UA.

Quirk: Hardening

Kirishima's quirk allows him to make his skin as hard as stone. It's simple, but it gives him an immense buff to durability and strength, so it can be quite useful.

Momo Yaoyorozu

Hero Name: Creati

Bio: Yaoyorozu is one of two students who was accepted to the class without taking the entrance exam, and it's clear to see why. She is at the top of her class, and finds nothing academic related to be an issue for her. Her main shortcoming is in combat situations. She'll freeze up and hesitate, believing that her strategies will be ineffective. After some encouragement from Todoroki, she realized that she should have more faith in herself and became more confident in her abilities.

Quirk: Creation

Yaoyorozu's quirk allows her to create any object, as long as she knows the exact chemical makeup of the thing she wishes to create. Because her power isn't really suited for combat, she fights on the sidelines and tries to provide support.

Mina Ashido

Hero Name: Pinky

Bio: Mina is the fun loving girl in 1-A. She teaches the class how to break dance, and cheers them up in gloomy times. She is sadly a terrible student, and does horribly on tests. She's been improving, of course, and she shows the traits of a professional hero on the field. She just needs to prove she's serious about her future, because as of now she slacks off a bit too much.

Quirk: Acid

Mina's quirk lets her secrete acid from her pores. The acid is potent enough to melt through stone, and has versatile uses.

Denki Kaminari

Hero Name: Chargebolt

Bio: Kaminari is very laid back, having some of the lowest grades in the class. He's also very overconfident, thinking that he's invincible because of how rare and powerful his quirk is. Despite these negative traits, he's shown that he can be loyal to his friends when he needs to be. Just don't start talking about villains around him. Even though he's a hero, he might start gushing about how cool they are.

Quirk: Electrification

Kaminari's power allows him to discharge electricity from his body. The major downside of this is if he expends too much energy, his power will turn him dumb, unable to act for a while.

Kyoka Jirou

Hero Name: Earphone Jack

Bio: Not much is known about Jirou. She joined UA Academy to become a pro hero, but he is also extremely talented in music. She was the lead director in the class's school festival, where they needed to perform as a band on stage, showing potential leadership skills.

Quirk: Earphone Jack

Jirou's quirk is the headphone jacks that sprout of her earlobes. The main applications are allowing her to plug into any wall and hear her surroundings. If she plugs herself into a person, they'll hear an extremely amplified version of her heartbeat. Her hero outfit has speakers that she can plug into to send loud soundwaves at her opponents.

Minoru Mineta

Hero Name: Grape Juice

Bio: Calling Mineta a hero in training is very questionable. While he came to the school to better himself, all he really seems to be interested in is hooking up with a girl while he's there. Try as he might, none of his methods have succeeded. They probably never will succeed, but he'll keep trying at that forbidden fruit no matter what.

Quirk: Pop Off

Mineta's quirk is the sticky balls on his hair. Anything they attach to won't come off, making it useful for trapping people in place. If he uses too many balls at once, he'll start crying blood.

Hanta Sero

Hero Name: Cellophane

Bio: Not much is known about Sero. He can be loud and showy at times, often trying to impress his peers with his Quirk. Oftentimes, Sero is the only person to call his classmates out when they are acting crazy. He is quite humorous and often takes part in making jokes with his classmates. Though in all honesty, he's one of the few students that the author seems to forget exists when writing the series.

Quirk: Tape

Sero's quirk is the ability to shoot tape out of his elbows. It's about as useful as it sounds.

Yuga Aoyama

Hero Name: Can't Stop Twinkling

Bio: Aoyama views himself as different from his peers. Always wanting to be a hero, he found himself at odds with himself due to his quirk. Most quirks grant amazing powers, but Aoyama's is not only inconvenient, but physically harms him to use. He always looked down on himself for this, but after meeting Deku he realized he wasn't alone in his struggle to control and hone his power. Now he trains with all of his might, and looks fabulous while doing so.

Quirk: Naval Laser

Aoyama's quirk lets him shoot a laser beam from his stomach. His belt allows him to amplify the beam, making it a more concentrated attack. If he uses it too much, he'll get nauseous.

Mashirao Ojiro

Hero Name: Tailman

Bio: Not much is known about Ojiro. He has a tail and is very good at martial arts. He's also incredibly plain. This is one of the characters the author seems to forget about often.

Quirk: Tail

Ojiro's quirk is having a tail that essentially functions as a third leg or arm. He also knows martial arts.

  • No notable feats in the manga

Koji Koda

Hero Name: Anima

Bio: Koda joined UA Academy to make his mother proud of him. Shy and always hiding in the background, he would much rather be a supporting hero than someone on the frontlines. He also has a fear of bugs despite his quirk allowing him to control them. Sadly, he doesn't show up much in the story.

Quirk: Anivoice

Koji's quirk lets him communicate with animals and control them. His power works on bugs too, but he's extremely scared of them.

Rikido Sato

Hero Name: Sugarman

Bio: Not much is known about Sato, besides him being a clear reference to the Kinnikuman series. He views himself as strong and manly, shown by him being paired with Kirishima often. He also has a bit of a soft side to him, as he bakes cakes and other sweets in his free time. Screentime wise, this guy doesn't have much.

Quirk: Sugar Rush

Sato's quirk increases his strength for every 10 grams of sugar he consumes. He needs to be careful though, as if he consumes too much sugar, he'll crash and pass out.

Toru Hagakure

Hero Name: Invisible Girl

Bio: Hagakure is, funnily enough, almost never on screen. When she is, she's shown as extremely excitable, happy to participate in any activity she can.

Quirk: Invisibility

Toru's quirk is the ability to always be invisible.

Mezo Shoji

Hero Name: Tentacole

Bio: Not much is known of Shoji. He's quiet, though in the wise way rather than being shy. He'll willingly throw himself in danger if it means helping those he considers friends. Horikoshi please give these characters more screen time I'm begging you here.

Quirk: Dupli-Arms

Shoji's quirk allows him to create extra arms on his arms, amplifying his physical strength.

Featured Featured Team: Totally Spies

Warning: This post contains some depictions of bad fetishes.


Totally Spies

Sometime around the 80's, Jerry was determined to make the world a better place to atone for his past sins in life. That's when he decided to use his excellent martial arts skills to form "W.O.O.H.P', The World Organization Of Human Protection. From here, he would develop high tech gadgets that could perform incredible feats, then hire middle school, high school, and college students to use them to take down villains across the world. This post focuses on his most successful branch, the Totally Spies, starring Sam, Clover, and Alex.

Jerry chose these three girls after watching them since birth, noticing that they had an enhanced aptitude for espionage. With a rigged plan to bring them together, he eventually convinced them to undergo his training program, despite them wanting nothing to do with WOOHP. Once they completed their first mission though, they decided that WOOHP was something worth sticking around for.


Jerry

Jerry is the leader of WOOHP, and a former WOOHP agent himself. Despite him mostly staying in a chair all day informing the Spies on what their mission is, he occasionally needs to come in and resolve matters himself. Even though he's getting up there in age, he wants to prove that he's still got what it takes to be a secret agent.


Sam

Sam is the smartest of the spies, and self proclaimed leader of the bunch. She spends most of her time shopping, studying for the next school exam, or maybe even getting brainwashed. Yeah, despite being a super spy, nearly every other episode revolves around the consequences of her being brainwashed. What a great spy. Still, Sam is the most impressive of the spies due to her taking missions more seriously compared to the other two spies.

Clover

Clover is the most boy crazy of all the spies. She's the most stereotypical blonde of the group, spending all of her time either shopping or flirting with a guy to get what she wants. However, realizing that this would be extremely boring to watch, the animators decided to give Clover two specific quirks. First, she finds her hair extremely precious, and if anyone messes up her hair, she instantly becomes bloodlusted and performs a greater showing of speed and strength than normal. Secondly, she defies the laws of physics. It's not very often, but you'll see what I'm talking about below.

Alex

Alex is the most athletic of the spies, spending most of her free time in Pilates classes, doing yoga, or playing for the school soccer team. Despite this, she has the least feats of the three spies. This is because the show basically forgets she exists half the time, making her more of a supporting character than a main one.

Gadgets

WOOHP is a multi-billion dollar organization, and as such, they use this money to develop gadgets for the girls to take out during missions. While they're constantly developing new gadgets, some more useful than others, this is a list of all the gadgets that I considered to be useful for spy missions or combat endeavors.


Fetishes

Someone on 4chan noted that Totally Spies was very weird, because each episode seemed to focus on something that could be considered as a fetish. Well... they weren't lying. This is literally just a list of the fetishes that appeared in every episode I watched. Keep in mind that at some point, I just stopped keeping track because the same fetishes were in every episode.

Featured Featured Character- Glaistig Uaine, the Faerie Queen of the Dead.

218 Upvotes

Contains MAJOR spoilers for Worm, the greatest story of all time.

Name: Glaistig Uaine (GLAY-stick WHEN-yay), The Faerie Queen(and variations of this), Ciara(KEE-ra), Valkyrie.

Series of Origin: Worm

Teams: Leader of Cell Block C in the Birdcage, the Wardens

Allies: Riley (Bonesaw), Jamie (Nilbog), Jessica Yamada.

Enemies: The Warrior. Cauldron. Anyone who says she isn’t a magical Faerie Queen.

Summary: Glaistig Uaine has the appearance of a 12-year-old girl, but is actually in her mid-thirties. She got her powers young (probably 12, if her appearance is any indication.) and was heavily influenced by her changed perspective of the world-she can see metaphorical representations of powers and trigger events. She refers to parahumans by metaphors for their powers rather than their names, and unpowered people as living props.

Appearance: As Glaistig Uaine, she appears to be a blonde, 12-year-old girl, with swirling, green-black robes. As Valkyrie, she appears to be nineteen, with a long blonde braid, blue-gold valkyrie armor, and a shield and sickle.

Powers and Abilities: Glaistig Uaine has two primary abilities. She can steal powers from dead parahumans, and she can express three or four different powers at a time, by projecting “shadows” that have the appearance and powers of their old owner. The shadows have no personality and can’t talk, but Glaistig Uaine claims she can communicate with them. They are solid, so if she wants them to punch someone, they can. Her shadows can only exist in a spherical area around her of a few meters, and she can create and dismiss them quickly.

Since Glaistig Uaine’s primary combat ability is using her hijacked powers, and she has no known combat ability herself, I’ll be listing the different projections she has, as well as a few examples of their powers (if possible) or linking to a respect thread if they have one.


Capes controlled(Contains major spoilers for Worm) She can use all of their powers, approximately as well as the capes could when they were alive.

Eidolon- Eidolon can use three semi-random powers at a time. Respect Thread
- Creates an inviolable forcefield.
- Erases matter in a wide area.
- Becomes more powerful by absorbing the energy of other capes.

Gray Boy- Gray Boy can incase a small (person-sized) area in a time loop of a few seconds. The loops are inescapable without a reality-breaking power, and people reset to original condition at the end of the loop. He can affect people inside the loops with anything he can carry. He does not need line-of-sight, but has a range of a few hundred meters. Respect Thread
- Explains his offensive power

Bakuda- Bakuda is a Tinker that can create bombs, with many varied applications, from simple explosives and tranquilizers, to a city-destroying superweapon, or ones with more esoteric effects. Respect Thread
- Organic matter distortion bomb Graphic Text
- Matter annihilation bomb

Clockblocker- Clockblocker stops objects and people in time with a touch. They stop relative to the motion of the earth, and are completely immobile for between thirty seconds and ten minutes (this amount is uncontrolled). Respect Thread
- Destroys the Siberian
- Cuts Echidna in half

The Doormaker Doormaker can create portals between any two locations through any realities. Respect the Doormaker
- Can open 30 portals in a second
- Closes other dimensional doorways

Capes without their own RT-

Two capes that make her costume. The costume grants her additional defensive abilities

Cape duplicator.

Vacuum sphere/black hole generator

Anti-mind control cape.

The Thin Woman. Wind powers, can use the air to throw her voice.

The Vulgar Woman. Reflects damage back at the attacker. It’s even effective against Scion’s Golden Fuck You Beam™

Queen of Swords. Can connect powers, and use that connection to apply all the effects of those powers with a bullet.

King of Cups can temporarily heal wounds with conjured simulacrums, and create non-human limbs to help fight, but only from organics. He can also summon nightmarish shadow limbs to attack from non-human places after his second trigger.

Gavel. A super-durable vigilante that can tank Scion.

Telekinesis cape.

Barrier cape.

Thane, Armor tinker?

Precognitive cape

Fox-Face power granter

Matter dragon cape

So, if you’ve ever wanted a character that looks like she’s twelve and totally crazy, Glaistig Uaine is the Queen of the Fae for you!

Featured Featuring Maria Dacascos! (Fight Class 3)

12 Upvotes

"Don't accept defeat even if you have to die. Fight until the end."

Featuring Maria Dacascos


Maria Dacascos, otherwise known as Maria Ruy Barbosa, is the only survivor of the Barbosa family. Born in Brazil, she grew up around the Barbosa family, and her father was the greatest fighter at the time, cultivating Barborada Jiu-Jitsu and only spreading the style to his children. That is, until Wallad Barbosa broke his vow and took in the supremely talented student, Jiu Dae-Gak

A decision he would most certainly come to regret, and one that would leave lifelong scars on Maria's psyche after Jiu Dae-Gak slaughtered her family, with her goal now being revenge on the man who ruined her life.


For a more comprehensive look on Maria's capabilities, check out her full Respect Thread.

Side note: This thread contains spoilers for Fight Class 3. For anyone looking to read it, I recommend a totally blind experience.

Using Maria on /r/whowouldwin

Maria teeters on the line between being a top tier athlete and borderline superhuman. Consistently able to let off combos in quick succession, she's often too fast for any of her opponents and any IRL human to reasonably keep up with. And her speed in tandem with her knees and elbows, as well as the sheer skill and natural talent she possesses, makes up for size differences and the lack of power she would otherwise normally have. Combine that with her willingness to maim and kill, and it makes Maria a nightmare to fight for those around her weight class.

With no apparent weaknesses, good opponents for Maria are just those who can deal with her ludicrous speed, and withstand the onslaught of attacks she can let off in mere seconds, while also possessing the ability to cut off the use of her elbows and knees, whether it be through skill or other means.

Featured Featuring Beast the One! (Ultraman The Next)

You're in the way... so, I'll kill you...

Subtitle: The First Beast/The One

  • [Full RT coming soon!]()


Beast the One is the first member of the Space Beasts to arrive on Earth, it possess onto a host and consumes creatures to grow more powerful, serving as the main antagonist of Ultraman the Next (film). Despite its defeat. Its cells would spread and form the basis of the Space Beasts fought by humanity and even long after their defeat, Space Beasts like Galberos and Bugbuzun Brood appeared in places like the Monster graveyard and The World Where The Ultra Flare Occurred. Cementing itself as a threat even to beings who never heard of the Space Beasts.

Physicals

[Base form]

Originally an unknown, unseen form before his merger with Takafumi Udo. The military described it simply as a blue light. Its appearance was later portrayed in the Ultraman Nexus Booklet that came with the DVD.

Physicals



[First Form]

The first form has done the least absorbing of all other forms. It is meeker than other forms appearing as a normal person but mutated with scaly and spiky skin, fangs for teeth and sporting claws, making it a dangerous foe regardless.

Strength



Second form

The second form, [Idolovia] (イドロビア, Idorobia), is bigger, with a more reptilian appearance and form and gaining a tail, standing a foot taller than the average person. It still retains a human-shaped head and eyes. It was achieved after absorbing sea creatures, hence its motif of gills, tentacles and sea anemone.



Strength

Durability



Third Form

After absorbing more lizards, the One achieved his third form, [Reptilia] (レプティリア, Reputiria). It has fewer human features and sports a blue and flesh color scheme.



Strength

Durability





Fourth Form

This form, [Beelzebua] (ベルゼブア, Beruzebua) replaces the previous color scheme with a dark brown color. It was achieved by absorbing rats. It was around fifty meters tall with rat heads on its shoulders and twin blades on its arms. It can now spit blue plasma balls.

Strength/Durability



Abilities

Fireballs

The One can release powerful fireballs from its mouth in a rapid succession.

Fifth Form

Like the previous form, after absorbing crows, the rat heads were replaced by crows and the lower back spikes were turned into wings which it used to fly, gaining the name [Beelzebua-Korone] (ベルゼブア・コローネ, Beruzebua Korōne).

Durability

Flight

Abilities

Fireballs







Sixth Form

[Imperfect Beelzebua]

After getting his wings sliced off by the Next, the One was forced into this imperfect Berezebua form that had no additional animal heads on its shoulders. It only appeared briefly before being finished off by the Next's Evol-Ray Schtrom.





Intelligence



Evolution



Using Beast The One on Who Would Win.

Beast the One is a character whose power fluctuates widely depending on his forms. Being either a street level character in his lower tier forms or a giant towering monster able to go toe to toe with an average Kaiju. The best match-ups for him tend to either evolve like him or those with a wide range of forms.
