    Ash Williams

    VS.

    The Punisher

    For me, it looks like Ash's run of bad luck is going to continue. Both men are somewhat nutjobs, but Castle has more resources and experience behind him. So in that regard, The Punisher gets my vote.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    I agree with LZ

    Punisher is hard core and has avoided being captured by both bad and good guys in the Marvel universe, taking out many of both in the meantime.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki


    Ash has the ability to live in the moment. He's creative and strong willed. He reacts to a situation and succeeds mainly because he believes he will. His weapons though impressive are few.
    On the other hand we have Punisher- Has extensive training, knowledge of advanced weaponry, Has an arsenal to draw upon. Driven by revenge, unrelenting in pursuit, acts with reckless abandon. I think he may be the more crazed of the two, with a grander array of weapons and training to back it all up... have to pick Punisher for the win.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    3-0 Punisher.

    Punisher.

    Extensive collection of weapons and military training gives him the victory.

    If you can read this, you're too close!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    Have to go with the Punisher. Ash isn't exactly used to dealing with gun-toting maniacs as far as I know, so I can't see him winning out. If it was a more hand-to-hand or crazed-loon-rushing-at-you battle it'd be a tougher call, but the Punisher would probably gun the Ash down out of range of the shotgun and then get close for some heart warming punishment.

    +1 Punisherrrrrr


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,048 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    The Punisher is just much better at what he does than Ash is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,422 ✭✭✭Tirabaralla


    Punisher, ty.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Punisher defeats Ash with ease. Next fight coming up.

    Elektra

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Elektra would win easily IMO. Try not to think about the Jenifer Gardiner version from the movies. The proper Elektra from the comics was a cold blooded highly skilled assasin.
    Heck, she even dated the Punisher once. :P
    TwoFace aint the best fighter.

    He did stand in for Batman once.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,048 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Elektra would sneak up on him and kill him while he sleeps.

    Fairly certain she leads The Hand now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki


    Two Face is his own worst enemy, his duality and indecision slows him down. Elektra is always at the top of her game, not to mention the psychic stuff. Afraid Two Face is going down.:(

    Elektra for the win.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    3-0 Elektra


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Dammit, Two-Face just doesn't get the breaks. Elektra will chop his head off before the coin even lands back into his hand.


  • Moderators Posts: 51,881 ✭✭✭✭Delirium


    Elecktra.

    Her fighting skills give her the win for me.

    If you can read this, you're too close!



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    5-0 Elektra.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Elektra

    EDIT: Sorry

    She has more skillz and experience with more skillful beings. I mean she has actually beaten skillful beings. Harvey just keeps getting bate.

    6-0 Elektra. Another sweep in the making perhaps.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,871 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Elektra.

    Her skills are mad, as opposed to Two face, who is just mad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    Two-Face is a tricky enemy because he's so unpredictable... but that's when he's organizing criminal capers etc. In a fight.. bah, he's just going to get owned.

    Elektra to dominate in her kinky red leather.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Elektra dominates Two-Face. Next match coming up.

    BATTLE 4

    Snake Plissken
    Look here
    Snake.jpg

    VS.

    Rorshach
    Look Here
    rorshach.jpg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 558 ✭✭✭Kazuma


    A tricky one indeed...

    I think I'm gonna have to side with Plissken on this one, but it's a close call :s
    Plissken has the training, skills, and experience - Rorshach just has his insane sense of justice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki


    gee, going to give this to Plissken because
    1. How could Snake lose?:D
    2.Rorschack is strong, uses whatever's at hand as weapon, and is great in a fight, but he is mad. Snake is also adept at everything I mentioned in favor of Rorschach but he's not really mad. He does what he has to do.
    3.Snake and Rorschach have a lot in common but Rorschach's madness is a drawback, that Snake will use against him.

    Snake takes it.;)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    2-0 Snake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,422 ✭✭✭Tirabaralla


    Rorschach, cause I didn't know about him and now I wanna read the comics, I sorta fell in love ha.


  • Advertisement
  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Rorshach, simply because I reckon he would be willing the go the extra mile in ruthlessness. I think Snake can be duped aswell, Rorshach on the other hand wouldn't trust anyone enough to put himself in a situation where he would be betrayed. Ozymandias excluded of course. ;)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Tied at 2-2


  • Moderators Posts: 51,881 ✭✭✭✭Delirium


    Rorshach.

    He has snake beat in the strength department, plus he has a great detective mind.

    But really it's the scene in the prison cafeteria from the watchmen comic/movie that seals it for me:D

    If you can read this, you're too close!



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    3-2 to Rorschach.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Snake loses simply because he would be stuck in the ring with rorschach, not the other way around.

    Rorscach takes it on strength and creativity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    I'll go with Rorschach. I think his fighting skills are that bit better.


  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    I think Rorschach will win out.

    Snake is pretty bad ass and is generally someone you'd want on your side in a fight, pretty well able to handle himself, seems decent with weapons etc etc, an action hero with some attitude and some grey matter.

    Rorschach on the other hand is someone you'd be terrified of if he wasn't on your side... and he was just walking down the street... a mile away... and had just read an amusing lyric...
    Amazingly inventive, total nutjob in ways and amazing clarity of purpose and focus in others.

    I reckon Snake would be physically stronger, Rorschach is a bit of a runt after all, but the difference is Rorschach never holds back and hits hard first time every time. There is no convention when fighting Rorschach, you're either of the mind that you're going to stop him without hesitation or he's stopped you.

    Ding ding Rorschach victorious.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    6-2 Rorschach


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Is it over?

    If not, Snake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Snake, while being a proper definition of a hard-a$$, is simply not good enough to beat Rorschach unless he somehow manages to take him out 2 miles away with a Barret M-50!

    Rorchach for teh win, because it is his paranoia and insanity that will win it out for him in the end:)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    After a hard fought battle Rorschach emerges victorious 7-3. Next battle up shortly

    Battle 4

    Zorro
    Look here

    VS.

    Marv
    Look here
    MickeyRourkeMarv.jpg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    Marv beats Zorro to a bloody pulp.

    I can see Zorro being quicker on his feet and obviously knows how to handle a sword, but (only know him from the movie) Marv has taken numerous bullets, jumped down flights of stairs etc and survived... plus he took out that Kevin kid who was quicker and more skilled than Zorro. So, me thinks Marv takes it, the big loon that he is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Marv battles Zorro to a stalemate, where at that stage Zorro is too exhausted to defend himself any longer. Marv duly crushes him. C'mon, it took two electric chair attempts to kill him FFS!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Marv does what he did to that kevin kid. Hell, marv would take zorro's horsey too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 889 ✭✭✭Bajingo


    Marv smash! He would obliterate Zoro..Marv wins..


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,826 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    4-0 Marv


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki


    Think Marv wins. Zorro very skilled but Marv gets right to the point - no showy messing around. I guess it's the degree of pure mean that dwells in Marv.
    Marv in a moment.
