BATTLE 5: King Leonidas (300) VS. Achilles (Troy)

 












Shields, spears and sandals clash as these two ancient Greek heroes collide in a Colisseum of carnage. While this one may be a little "DEADLIEST WARRIOR", this battle is intended on being between the movie renditions of them, NOT the actual figures of myth and ancient history. Both call Greece home but only one can be victorious.

Other sites have debated this match-up before but who cares, I want to know what you think!

King Leonidas:
  • Spartan training, a regimen that hardened him as strong as steel
  • Mastery of his weapons and shield
  • Highly agile, able to take on a plethora of different opponents without fear

Achilles:
  • Supernatural parentage
  • Dipped in River Styx to give him near immortality save the back of his foot
  • Proficient swordsman and javelin thrower
  • Quick footed and precise fighter, down large opponents in single strikes

Who should win, who is the god of Greek warfare? YOU DECIDE!

BATTLE 4: Mumakil/Oliphaunt VS. Gorax

 











It's colossus versus colossus as these two 100 foot tall giants clash on the battlefield. The Haradrim SUV, the Mumakil against the Ewok munching giant, the Gorax.

For the purposes of this fight, the Mumakil will be complete with it's driver and tower atop it full of nasty Haradrim archers to fully balance the sentience and tool use of the Gorax.

It's Lord of the Rings versus Star Wars as both these behemoths come to bear...

The Oliphaunt:
  • War tower atop it's back with deadly accurate archers.
  • Four malicious tusks able to swat and gore all that lie before it.
  • Barbs and spikes mounted on the tusks and the feet of this giant animal.
  • A thunderous forward charge that shakes the very ground.

The Gorax:
  • Eater of the sentient creatures of Endor, this creature is an expert hunter
  • Intelligent, even incorporating tools, traps and weapons into it's arsenal
  • Immensely strong
  • Sharp teeth set in a powerful jaw to break through the bones of even the toughest prey

So which titan wins the clash? YOU DECIDE!

BATTLE 3: The Darkness VS. Hellspawn




















This fantasy battle is between two main powers gifted by an evil force and less about the men that wield it. Though Jackie Estacado and Al Simmons are the best known wielders of the Darkness and the mantle of Spawn respectively, this is not about those men. In both cases the human involved is less important, it is whether or not the great artifact known as the Darkness can defeat Malebolgia's general of Hell, the Hell Spawn.

For the purposes of not letting one or the other have a greater upper hand, the setting for the battle will be a modern metropolis, let's say London, England. Why London? Due to its heavy fogs, dense cloud cover during the day and ancient streets and architecture, both combatants will have a fair and just fight giving their strengths and weaknesses. Speaking of which...

The Darkness:
  • Does not function in daylight whatsoever, however if the sunlight is obstructed, it will function just as well as at night.
  • The wearer can create anything they can conceive, including living creatures called Darklings whom are violent and tend to curse a lot.
  • Nothing is out of bounds, wielders have even created false humans for various purposes. Weapons are also a common manifestation.
  • The wearer has a telepathic connection with their Darklings that allows them to perceive what they are perceiving and control their every move.
  • Heals rapidly in darkness

HellSpawn:
  • Symbiotic suit made up of Necroplasm, a hell-born substance that protects the wearer from harm and resists most standard attacks.
  • The suit of the Spawn is alive, and sentient, able to react like an appendage utilizing a cowl, chains, and even spikes to execute different tasks in combat.
  • The suit can surround and amplify weapons and vehicles as well making them much more powerful and causing hellish damage to their opponent.
  • Spawn's have been known to assume the forms of others using the suit's Necroplasm.

These are your choices in this brutal fight between Darkness and Hell-Fire. Who will stand victorious atop the corpse of the other? YOU DECIDE!

BATTLE 2: Darth Maul vs. Exar Kun



















This matchup pits Sith vs. Sith in a spectacular battle that should send dual saber against dual saber in a flurry of attacks. While Exar Kun is the progenitor of the double bladed lightsaber and his personal one was heavily modified to suit his needs, Darth Mauls martial training and ferocity may win him the day. You decide however, and here are the key points to consider for this battle.

Darth Maul:
  • Studied under Darth Sidious
  • High tolerance for all manner of pain
  • Very proficient duelist with a lightsaber

  • Early Dark Lord of the Sith trained by Jedi Master Baas
