    His blood is tainted, don't think it's the exact same thing. Plus it's more a case of D being super experienced in battling such things. He's a hunter himself and those he hunts often employ such traps.

    True, but Johnny also brought friends to confuse D and allow him a chance to destroy his enemy

    Yeah, why is it exactly that Constantine has vampires working for him? It's actually a bit of a clash of worlds really, the vampires in D's world are incredibly powerful and like lords and ladies, I'm guessing in the grittier world of Constantine they're more like your Buffy-esque vampires. If it's the latter then D would slice through them without a bother, if it's the former then there's no way so many of them would hang around in ambush for a half-breed. Plus all those vampires you have waiting would be like a signal flare for Left Hand, no way would he walk into that unawares.

    Exactly, D comes in ready for a brutal fight against multiple opponents. he would hardly pause to consider the mere mortal who was blocking his path, nor would he consider the possibility of him masterminding the assault. Therefore he never bothers to check for mundane traps.

    D might not want to check, but LeftHand would think of checking and would be sure to make sure that D knows about it..

    Yeah Constantine having vampires working for him seems a bit odd given how things went down twice between Constantine and the King of the vampires.

    His blood is cursed/tainted, and whilst it works as a defence against vampires, as was shown when the King of the vampires decided to munch on Constantine, there is one fatal flaw in anyone's theory of Constantines cursed blood having an effect on D.


    Constantine's blood can impact upon vampires, but it does not affect Dhampirs.

    D is not a vampire and is a Dhampir, and similar to Blade who is one in the Marvel universe, he has the strengths of the vamps without the obvious weaknesses.

    Wait what did I do now?
    That's not an illusion? Ah-HA! Then you're Captain Cyberwolf!! You're wanted for offing that artificial dhampir too! You bent the rules of our Tournament TOO far this time!", it growled. "You didn't just break Drac's favourite experiment, you screwed with the Night Itself!"
    I never involved Blade in anything:
    Now it was time to find out exactly what rank idiocy Wolfie had dragged him into this time.

    It was a joke Wolf :):p Certain parties were not pleased with the ambush that nailed D and Yakon was sicced on the arrangers but it got the wrong address and got hungry and tried to eat Blade instead (canonically it has a habit of randomly eating people that get in its way) :p

    The Transformers could even send their buddy Shia LeBeouf into battle for them against Jacob Black and they'd still win fcuking easily. ;):p

    I was actually tempted to stage a comeback for Jacob, but I've never seen any of the movies or read the books, so I'm imagining a wolf trying to take on a gigantic robot... I mean, it's just... it's just not gonna work Jacob, I'm sorry.

    I'm loving the range of characters in this fight! Sharptooth! Who would have thunk it! Also, never heard of Pumpkin Head. Generally is he only killed when you take out the summoner?

    yes, unless the witch who is responsible for helping raise him is killed thus releasing him in which case he will die when he feels she has been avenged.

    See I'd play it one of two ways, based on Pumpkin Heads ability to be killed... either VH has to find the summoner in the crowd, which is tough, or he has to kill the demon, which might be easier or impossible, depending on how readily this Pumpkin guy can die? As far as Sharptooth goes, it's pretty much a case of avoid avoid avoid until VH has time to setup a weapon to take it out. Doubt PH and ST will give each other too much hassle.

    This battle would have been very different if it was Pumpkin Head vs some of the Teen Titans, or Sharptooth vs. them or Squirrel Girl... :D

    Pumpkin is good at serially murdering realtypes and also gets bonuses against Pesky Kids; its Terror debuff seems much more effective against them, preventing them from fighting back effectively or coherently, reducing their perception and planning skills and even routing them outright from sheer fear :eek: Even Squirrel Girl's Last Second Save knack might not save her. In contrast, sortieing it against Sharpie and Helsing seems like a cruel mismatch :D:P

    Sharpie is the complete opposite; his specific weakness is Pesky Kids. He can happily slaughter most realtypes and even a lot of Supers/demons/Eldritch Abominations without breaking a sweat. Putting him up against Squirrel Girl in particular - a character who is the definition of Pesky Kid, and has the Forever Underestimated, Quick Thinker and The Bigger They Are... perks - could easily result in yet another crushing humiliation for the beastie that just ate Helsing and Pumpy as the starter course :pac:
