[The Panda]

Time for the next round of fights!

 

Fight 1

Location: New York

 

Achilles

 

Weapon of Choice: Invulnerability (except the heel)

 

Short Bio: "In Greek mythology, Achilles was a Greek hero of the Trojan War and the central character and greatest warrior of Homer's Iliad. Achilles was said to be a demigod; his mother was the nymph Thetis, and his father, Peleus, was the king of the Myrmidons.

 

Achilles’ most notable feat during the Trojan War was the slaying of the Trojan hero Hector outside the gates of Troy. Although the death of Achilles is not presented in the Iliad, other sources concur that he was killed near the end of the Trojan War by Paris, who shot him in the heel with an arrow. Later legends (beginning with a poem by Statius in the 1st century AD) state that Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body except for his heel. Because of his death from a small wound in the heel, the term Achilles' heel has come to mean a person's point of weakness." (Wikipedia)

 

Vs.

 

Darth Vader

 

Weapon of Choice: Lightsaber and The Dark Side

 

Short Bio: "Once a Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker swore loyalty to Sith Lord Darth Sidious in order to gain the power of the dark side of the Force. Vader betrayed the Jedi Order and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. With the rise of the Galactic Empire, Darth Vader became the Emperor's dark enforcer. He carried out the Emperor's will, and commanded legions of Imperial troops. Vader was tasked with discovering the secret headquarters of the Rebel Alliance, as well as chasing down the Rebels who destroyed the Empire's massive Death Star battle station.

 

Darth Vader was encased in sinister black armor. The man underneath was mortally wounded in a lightsaber duel, and the dark suit includes extensive machinery to keep Vader alive. The sounds of his mechanical lungs accompany his every step. Such injuries greatly diminished his ability to use the Force, but Vader is still very powerful. He can command the power of the dark side to hurl objects or remotely crush the throats of his victims." (Star Wars dot com)

 

 

 

Fight #2

Location: The Amazon Rainforest

 

The Doctor

 

Weapon of Choice: The Tardis, Sonic Screw Driver, and Intelligence

 

Short Bio: "The Doctor was the primary alias of a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey who travelled through time and space with various companions in his obsolete and "borrowed" Type 40 TARDIS. He was the universe's "greatest defender", having saved the cosmos thousands of times throughout his long life, becoming a great legend across the whole universe." (Tardis Wiki)

 

Vs.

 

The Joker

 

Weapon of Choice: Anarchist Mind, skills in technology and chemistry, and Hand to Hand combat

 

Short Bio:  "The Joker is a supervillain and the archenemy of Batman. He was first introduced in Batman #1 (Spring 1940) and has remained consistently popular. The Joker is a master criminal with a clown-like appearance. Initially portrayed as a violent sociopath who murders people for his own amusement, the Joker later in the 1940s began to be written as a goofy trickster-thief. That characterization continued through the late-1950s and 1960s before the character became again depicted as a vicious, calculating, psychopathic killer." (Batman wiki)

 

 

 

Fight #3

Location: Hawaiian Islands

 

Jaime Lannister

 

Weapon of Choice:  Longsword

 

Short Bio: "Ser Jaime Lannister, known as the Kingslayer, is a knight from House Lannister. He is the second child and first-born son of Lord Tywin Lannister of Casterly Rock and his wife Lady Joanna, also of House Lannister. He is the twin brother of Queen Cersei Lannister. Raised at the age of fifteen to the Kingsguard of the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen, Jaime became the youngest member in the history of the prestigious knightly order." (Game of Thrones wiki)

 

Vs.

 

James Bond

 

Weapon of Choice: Pistol and Various Gadgets

 

Short Bio: "Commander James Bond, C.M.G., R.N. (born April 13, 1968) is a Senior Operational Officer of the 'Double-O' ('00') Branch, an ultra-covert Black Ops unit within the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). As an agent of MI6, Bond holds code number "007". The 'double-O' prefix indicates his discretionary licence to kill in the performance of his duties" (James Bond wiki)

 

 

 

Fight #4

Location: Mirkwood

 

Felonius Gru

 

Weapon of Choice: Minions

 

Short Bio: "Formerly the world's greatest villain, Gru has been ousted by Vector, who had stolen the Pyramid of Giza and been bestowed the honor of pulling off the "crime of the century". In response, Gru unveils his plan for an even more impressive crime; the theft of the Moon. When his plans are interrupted by Vector, Gru becomes the adoptive father of three girls: Margo, Edith, and Agnes.

 

Originally intending to use the trio as pawns for his scheme to steal the moon, Gru ends up warming up to the girls. Even though he is successful in snatching the moon, Gru chooses to give it up when he hears his adopted daughters have been kidnapped and proceeds to rescue the trio from Vector.

 

In the process the moon is accidentally returned to its orbit, impressing the Anti-Villain League enough that Gru is soon recruited to stop the thief of the PX-41 mutagen. Together with AVL agent Lucy Wilde, he attempts to track down the evasive El Macho. After the events of the mission, he becomes the husband of Lucy."

 

Vs.

 

Kratos

 

Weapon of Choice: Blades of Chaos

 

Short Bio: "Kratos is incredibly cruel and destructive and would kill anyone who gets in his way. He doesn't seem to care if he kills women or children or men weaker than him.

 

Before God of War II, Kratos was very respectful towards gods and divine entities, to the point of calling them "Lords", and even being afraid of them, and even in God of War II, he was still extremely respectful to the Titan Gaia. However, in God of War III, he lost all sense of respect towards divinities and does not care if he has to kill them to proceed, and will insult the gods, no matter whom it is, for example, calling Hermes "A fly from the ass of Zeus".

 

Kratos was once a very destructive and amoral man. His guilt is often converted to extreme rage and his goal was to achieve vengeance on Ares for making him kill his wife and child. This vengeance later extends to Zeus for trying to kill him in Rhodes, then Kratos resolves to kill all the gods of Olympus, if they try to oppose him. Unable to cope with the memory of his own misdeeds, Kratos has considered suicide on two separate occasions. On some occasions, Kratos even to put the blame of his actions onto others (Ares, The Gods, etc.), until the very end, during which he finally realized the consequences of his actions, stabbing himself with the Blade of Olympus."

Why in the flying fuck is Gru-? You know what, never mind, I really shouldn't be surprised by now.

Main character from Despicable Me, just read the fight descriptions if you want to know who the characters are.

[4815162342]

Vader, Joker, Bond (sorry Jaime, you got the wrong matchup), and Kratos.

 

Greek Mythology Achilles might have won, but Brad Pitt Achilles definitely loses to Vader (even with the Hayden effect).

I said Why not Who.

[The Panda]

Ooooh oops!

 

And wow, somebody actually voted for Gru over Kratos...Just how?  When I saw the RNG pick that matchup I literally thought about just giving Kratos an autopass to the next round because Gru was never going to stand a chance.

 

I'm worried for the Doctor tbh, The Joker is a much more popular character, but the Doctor would win that match up fairly easily, plus he is a lot more bad ass.

Aye. If this was a fair fight, the Doctor should take this by a country mile. But, since there's not that many DW fans, Joker looks like he'll win just by virtue of being the best known.

[Mulder]

I'm a huge Doctor Who fan but LBSH Joker'd win.......

[The Stingray]

Vader, Joker, Bond, Kratos.

[CoolioD1]

Vader (lol Troy)JokerBondKratos (I'm being fucked with right? The guy from frozen and now the guy from despicable me 2? Is Wayne Knight's character from Toy Story 2 in the next round?)

While no Kratos, Gru did punch out a shark

Who's Kratos?

There's no way Joker could actually beat the Doctor.  He could possibly drive the Doctor to near insanity, but in the end the Doctor would still win.

Depends on if Joker shoots/kills him while The Doctor's regenerating.

Good thing this isn't a Power Level matchup then

[The Panda]

The Doctor has taken on worse than the Joker all the time, The Joker wouldn't even be a finale Who villain, just a filler one.

[The Panda]

Also, since most of these matchups are getting one-sided results I will end it sometime tonight and start up a new one as a way to compensate for the last round going over on the 3 day mark.

[The Panda]

Darth Vader, Joker, James Bond, and Kratos win.

[Dementeleus]

MOTHERTRUCKING GRU????
