    Gathered from across time, space, and reailites they come to battle. The only prize is survival for the victors, and death for the losers. Any complaints should be taken here. Here be the rules:
    1. 24 hours for each bout.
    2. Bouts starting on Friday will continue until Monday
    3. Give a reason, any reason for your selection's victory in the bout.
    4. No deus ex machina will be allowed
    5. Six votes for victory. Should time expire before a team reaches six votes the team ahead wins. Ties will be decided by random draw from among those participants who have voted on the bout. They will be given 12 hours to confirm their vote.
    6. Certain competitors will have their available tech decided by myself. (In other words Han Solo has his blaster, and a certain Starfleet officer has his phaser. They will not however have access to their respective ships or crews).

    MOON KNIGHT & RONIN(CLINT BARTON)

    LOCATION:
    DETROIT
    ruins-of-detroit_marchand-and-meffre_17.jpg
    Following a series of incredibly destructive clashes between meta-humans the world has turned on so called “masks” violently. Any individuals exhibiting meta-human abilities are hunted down and killed. All technologically based heroes and villians are executed, and their technology repurposed to continue the great purging of “:non-humans”. Any purely human “mask”, who ceases their now criminal behavior is offered a simple choice: retire, and pray they never catch you, or continue and be hunted down and publicly killed by the new government sponsored “mask-hunters”. After five years almost every mask has been eliminated except for a handful of still active renegades. One such is Oliver Queen, better known as The Green Arrow. Currently on the run he has washed up in Detroit where he has made the acquaintance of a disgruntled former U.S. Army Special Forces officer named Snake Plissken. Snake has promised to help Queen get out of the country in exchange for a large sum of money. Unbeknownst to them however the government has decided to try a new approach to capture the few remaining “mask” fugitives. They are forcing already captive members of the community to pursue fugitives in exchange for a promised parole. Following their success in terminating the "masks known as Young Avengers Clint Barton and Marc Spector have been assigned the Queen case with orders to make sure the target does not leave Detroit alive. Succeed and they get new lives. However, to prevent them betraying their new masters they both have been implanted with a combination tracking/ explosive device near their hearts. Should they fail to eliminate their target within a week the devices will detonate. Try to escape, and the devices will be remote detonated.

    Hmmm, the marksmen cancel each other out, so it's really Moon Knight -v- Snake. I have to say, MK would wipe the floor with Snake.

    Ronin/MK FTW


  • Moderators Posts: 52,107 ✭✭✭✭Delirium


    Have to agree with LZ, the archers cancel each other out.

    The other two have both got military backgrounds, but MK has experience battling enemies that Snake has never faced.

    MoonKnight/ Ronin

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73


    Moon Knight and Ronin.


    Just too good for GA and Snake. Would fancy Moon Knight (regardless of what personality was driving) on his own against those two.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Following a short, but vicious battle Moon Knight and Ronin emerge victorious. Next bout coming up shortly

    BATTLE 2

    SPIDER JERUSALEM & JOHN McCLANE
    spider.gifjohn-mcclane-willis.jpg

    VS

    BULLSEYE & TWO-FACE
    bullseyecostumeth.jpgTwo_Face.gif

    LOCATION:
    SPIDER'S MOUNTAIN
    mountain-view-large.JPG
    Spider Jerusalem has enjoyed a long and storied career. Unfortunately over the years he has offended many powerful people. Now they have decided to remove him permanently. Using cloned bodies they have reanimated two deadly killers to eliminate him. However, in Spider’s favor is the fact that one of the lab techs working on said project is the grandson of one new York City’s greatest heroes, John McClane. Borrowing a spare vat he has brought his grandfather back in his physical prime and with a lifetime’s memories of dealing with heavily armed maniacs. McClane has arrived on Spider’s mountain heavily armed and ready to help this foul mouthed bastard save his own life.
    Notes on this match:
    1. Yes, it is the real Bullseye and Two-Face. They are merely uploads of the originals into cloned bodies.
    2. Bullseye does not have the adamantium on his skeleton though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Spider Jerusalem shoots Bullseye with the bowel disruptor and finishes him off with the chair leg of truth while he ****s himself! McClane then takes out Two-Face


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


    Harvey launches into his usual spiel and flips his coin, but before the coin even lands back in Two-Face's palm McClane puts a bullet in his head. Bullseye puts up a valiant effort but eventually succumbs to the numbers disadvantage.

    Spider and John FTW


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Orim


    A place to hunker down with a case of wild turkey and some rocket launchers. Spider McClane has this in the bag.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,677 ✭✭✭deise go deo


    Two face flips his coin and turns up good, so he helps Spider McClane win their freedom.

    Bullseye is outnumbered 3:1 and is defeeted easily, Two Face then sufferes from a bad case of Heart Burn.

    Gotta be honest. Can't see either of them stopping McClane, let alone the two of them.

    John Jerusalem ftw.


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


    Bullseye can kill a man with a toothpick... feck it, he'd take all three of them on. Bullseye and Dent for the win.


  • Moderators Posts: 52,107 ✭✭✭✭Delirium


    bullseye uses a sniper rifle from 1km away to take out the other team.

    dent spends the time flipping the coin to decide what to order for lunch:p

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73


    Bullseye/Dent for a fairly easy win imho.


    Non adamantium Bullseye has proven to be a match for Daredevil, Wolverine, Moonknight (being quite superior in this recent battle), and Daken in fights, so McClane and Spider would not be a major challenge for him. Just a matter of whether Bullseye wants to kill them quick from distance or get up close to make it a messy finish.

    Dent can flip his coin or brush his hair whilst waiting.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Spider and John scrape through the match and claim victory. next battle to come.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Speedy and a well-armed drifter have found themselves displaced through time thanks to the effects of the device Prometheus used to devastate Star City. They find themselves in Feudal Japan where they promptly run afoul of a local lord and his retainers. The lord fearing these oddly dressed strangers has kidnapped The Lone Wolf’s son and is holding him hostage . He will be returned after his father deals with these interlopers. To insure the Lone Wolf’s compliance he has recruited a thief he recently captured who is quite willing to work for anyone who pays him enough to aid in the hunt.

    Notes:
    1. Speedy has no trick arrows this time around
    2. Connor is carrying a Glock 17 with 2 spare magazines, and a Ka-bar knife.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73


    Cool pairings. Really unexpected duos.



    I am a huge Lone Wolf and Cub fan, so John Connor and Speedy are getting chopped up into firelogs in this one for me.


    Speedy may be well trained but she is still only a well trained woman with no superpowers who has a medical condition that can affect her badly. Plus her ability with a bow is nowhere near that of Green Arrow.

    John Connor is a survivor with a glock, some ammo and a knife. Plus I hate the character so for me he is screwed in this regardless. :)


    They are up against Ogami Itto in fuedal Japan? The same Ogami Itto whose son is on the line if he does not win? The same man is is an expert as in fighting with or without weapons as well as being a master with a bow and arrow?

    Also they are two Americans walking around in Feudal Japan, so they will stick out like sore thumbs, and be treated with suspician and hostility by locals.

    No contest. Ogami Itto slices and dices them, or picks them off from range thanks to his local knowledge of ambush points, then goes off and kills the lord who was holding his son.

    Autolycus sits it out as he won't kill, and simple plunders the lord's gold after Ogami Itto has killed the lord and left.

    Ogami Itto and Autolycus for the win.:)


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,872 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    I simply can't justify two people from the feudal era, no matter how good they are at fighting, defeating a survivalist with some bullets and someone who's grown up a total hard ass and trained by Ollie.

    2 arrows from the distance put them down. Best not to waste the bullets unless necessary.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Orim


    Feudal Era vs Glock 17? I could win this fight.

    Disappointingly I gotta give this to Speedy and Connor, presumably relegating Bruce Campbell to yet another defeat.


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


    Connor and Speedy for me, I don't see how their opposition can best them. John Connor can take out a master thief pretty easily IMO, especially a master thief with a reluctance to kill and who is preoccupied with making quips! I don't see how his heart could be in this battle.

    Connor and Speedy proceed to double team Ogami.

    Connor and Speedy FTW.

    Oh and btw, next time, use a pic of Bale or Furlong!! :p

    BATTLE 4

    JASON BOURNE & HANNIBAL LECTER

    VS

    SNAKE EYES & JOHN RAMBO
    Snake_Eyes_Arashikage_Showdown.jpg220px-JohnRambo2008.jpg

    LOCATION:
    SAN ANTONIO
    San-Antonio.jpg
    Jason Bourne has recruited noted psychiatrist and serial killer Hannibal Lecter to help him in recovering his past. In exchange he will use his skills to help the good doctor remain free. Meanwhile the CIA has recruited a member of an elite military unit to finally bring in their most wanted fugitive. He in turn has recruited an old friend from his time in Southeast Asia to help him in the pursuit.
    NOTES:
    Rambo has his bow and arrows, knife, and a .45 automatic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73


    Bourne against Snake Eyes would be a decent fight to start with, with Snake Eyes winning methinks.


    That leaves Rambo with a clear run at Lector. The same Rambo that would have no problem killing.



    Snake Eyes and Rambo for the win.


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


    Snake Eyes kills everyone.

    Then Rambo kills them all again. This time with a kill-counter.

    Snake Eyes und Rampo vin!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Orim


    Lecter tries to help Bourne find his past. Snake Eyes does his ninja thing and kills them both. Rambo is off fishing or something similar.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Snakebo cleans up and wins with ease. Weekend match to come.

    BATTLE 5

    XENA & JAMES T. KIRK

    VS.

    LEX LUTHOR & STEPHANIE BROWN(BATGIRL)
    508181990364740140-4.jpg250px-Stephanie_Brown_as_Batgirl.jpg

    LOCATION:
    MOUNT PARNASSUS, GREECE
    mount-parnassus.jpg

    Lex Luthor has designed a device capable of time travel. His field test if it is to travel back in time and steal the secrets of The Oracle at Delphi. To insure his safety he has coerced the current Batgirl into coming along as his bodyguard. Meanwhile Xena has come across a strangely dressed fellow who claims to be from the distant future. before she can decide what to do with him Apollo arrives and demands she stop the intruders who are threatening his oracle.(They don't believe in him, therefore he is unable to attack them without destroying the oracle as well)

    Notes:
    Kirk has phaser and communicator which is acting as a translator for him. Luthor is carrying a pistol and various diagnostic equipment. he has also equipped himself and Miss Brown with his own version of a Universal translator.


  • Moderators Posts: 52,107 ✭✭✭✭Delirium


    Kirk spends his time trying to charm Xena.

    While distracted their opponents ambush them. Luthor shoots Kirk before he can get control of his libido.

    Then Luthor + batgirl takes down Xena.

    :D

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,820 ✭✭✭grames_bond


    kirks knowledge and planning abilities come into this one (he will also successfully seduce stephanie) xenas skill and gadgets do make for a good fight against bat girl but i think she would juyst edge it, leaving kirk to destroy luther....finishing with a rendition of rocketman to make everyone happy...... then he sedices xena!!

    Kirk & Xena

    On the basis of how I feel right now, and ensuring I get my vote in, I'm going to give my vote to Kirk and Xena on the basis that Kirk can seduce anything up to and including Lex Luthor.
