#superhero battle

[entity9silvergen]

Those “could Alien X beat” posts are always fun to read because all the comments are either an amazing one liner, several paragraphs about some anime characters’ strengths and weaknesses, someone saying Ben would get his ass beat if he couldn’t move, or some DC fanboy crying on his keyboard about how Darkseid is an alpha reverse microscopic being on the thirtieth level of the magnetic cosmic planes and his ghost pepper omega beams could follow someone through a magnifying glass at 300 million lightyears per second

Anyone who can give me a convincing argument someone could beat Alien X gets eternal recognition 

Edit: This post is making fun of people who nut over Darkseid because they suck the fun out of hypothetical battles. Keep it fun in the notes and any take is welcome.

The First Supervillain

So! A Typical "Early Start" AU where the events of The Show happen early in the Timeline. Like, in the 70's or 80's.

Danny never quite managed to fix his Public Perception, and even years into his career people still saw him as the Villain.

Coincidentally Valerie was seen as a Hero because of how often they were seen fighting. Even after they revealed their Identities and got together, they still had the occasional Battle. It was their love language.

His role as the Villain was Cemented when Pariah launched his Second Invasion of Earth after some dumbass accidentally freed him, and Danny took the Blame for it. Instead of being seen as the Hero who battled Pariah and stopped the Invasion, he was seen as the Tyrant to launched the Invasion in the first place, with Red Huntess being the one to defeat him in one final Ultimate Battle.

And honestly? He was fine with that. Now that he was the King of the Ghost Zone, he had the Authority to Regulate the Portal so villains stopped getting through. And that meant that he wasn't needed to stop random Ghost Attacks anymore. He could finally focus on College and his own Life, instead of sacrificing everything to act as the Protector of the Human Realm.

Val continued to be a Hero for a few more years, eventually retiring when it became Clear that the new generation of Heroes could pick up the Slack.

He went to College, got a Job as an Aerospace Engineer, and eventually proposed to Valerie.

About 20 years since his initial Accident, and he was doing great! He had moved into a humble home on the edge of town with his loving wife Val, his beautiful daughter Ellie, and his cute dog Cujo.

Yeah, life was good.

Until the day Danny accidently caused a Mass Crisis.

...

Superman was having some extreme trouble in dealing with his current Opponent. He had just been flying around the City, patrolling as Usual, when all of a sudden he had been attacked by a Flying Mech Suit.

At first he had assumed that Lex was giving it another Go, but he quickly realized that was not the case when the Armor seemed to Phase though solid matter in the middle of the battle. Lex had never made Tech advanced enough to do that on the fly.

This opponent was tough too. Strong enough and Durable enough to go blow for blow with him, and seemingly able to pull Advanced Weaponry from out of nowhere whenever he wanted. As tough as it was to admit, Superman as losing the Battle.

Then, without warning, the battle stopped. His opponent was staring at the space just behind him, with a look of pure dread. He turned around, and his heart stopped.

Floating behind him, staring right past him and directly at the Mech Suit, was the First Villain Phantom.

He looked much the same as when he had last been seen, although he was definitely Older. He had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes that seemed to stare right past him and into his very soul. He was wearing what seemed to be a costume of sorts, with an all black suit, white gloves, and white boots. Over his Shoulders sat a Cloak made of Stars, and above his head sat a Crown made of an Icy Blue Fire.

The Mech tried for a greeting, "Er- Hello t-Lord Phantom. How do you d-"

"Skulker."

"Y-yes?"

"What are you doing here? I thought I gave you explicit orders to stay in the Ghost Zone until further notice. You disobeyed me."

"Okay look. I got excited, that's my fault. It's just, I got anxious waiting. Can you really blame me? I've been waiting 20 years to take another Crack at the Human World, what's it matter if I left a few weeks Early?"

"I told you. You were supposed to wait exactly 20 Years, and you left Early. This calls for punishment."

"No wait!"

"Let's see how you feel after a few days as Soup."

The Villain pulled out a Thermos, and in a flash of green light, Skulker was gone, and the King was capping the Thermos. He then turned to Superman.

"I apologize for him, he decided to leave ahead of schedule." The King addressed him. "Now, Kryptonian. Rest and tend to your wounds, you will need to be in your best health if you want to continue saving the lives of those people below us."

With a dramatic flare, the King reached up and Tore a hole in Space. Through the Hole, Superman could only see an infinite Green Void, with the sound of screams cheering being heard through the rift.

The King departed through the Tear in Spacetime, and it closed behind him.

Superman tried to collect himself, and activated his League Emergency Comms.

"Attention All Founding Members, and Justice League Dark Members. This is Superman calling for an immediate Emergency Meeting."

He took a deep breath.

"Phantom is Back."

finding out that DC literally sued Fawcett out of existence over Captain Marvel only to buy up the rights once they'd folded and start referring to the city where Billy lives as "Fawcett City" as a cutesy nostalgic reference is really like

#superhero copyright battles are DERANGED #dc moment #olivertxt #not to mention that Batson was named after 'Captain Billy' Fawcett #shazam #industry meta

While I am a hard sci-fi fan at heart, there is something special about a good old “I found this big robot in a junkyard and patched it up in my garage. It’s powered by antimatter, vacuum energy, blackholes, and my dad’s ghost. I’m gonna go use it to deck Yog-Sothoth right in the kisser.”

Wiz - "Goku Vs Superman breaches a broader zeitgeist. It's more than two characters fighting. A Whole generation, especially 90s America, Superheroes represented an unyielding Status Quo.

Spider-man, Batman, Captain America rarely changed who they are or what they believe in. For alot of people, that's tiring and Superman is an icon of that.

Then along came anime. There was a whole another world of ideas and stories for us sheltered westerns to experience and Goku is an icon of that. So as while many see this as a debate between characters, others see it as a debate of ideologies and culture.

And if that's what's at stake....Who wants Goku to lose?

It's not our intent, but it does call into question what we are doing.

How can people agree what we take as fact when fiction relies on interpretation? Are we stripping characters of their importance by simplifying them as contestants in a vacuum of violence and if so, what's the point?"

Boomstick - "Because it's fun Wiz. Damn it man, there is more than one way to appreciate something. We're having a great time talking about awesome characters and slamming action figures together and that's ok."

Art style aside, considering it's definitely an acquired taste, Batman & Superman: Battle of the Super-Sons was such an enjoyable lighthearted movie. I really hope that we continue to see more short movies with entertaining and heartful adventures from DC Studios going forward.

So apparently if Brie Larson dresses up sexily, it's because her movie flopped. But if Brie Larson dressed modestly inside said movie, then her modest outfit is supposed to be why it flopped? Do you guys want women to be modest or not. Please make up your minds.

#breaking news brie larson would not wear a superhero suit to a photoshoot and captain marvel would not wear a sexy outfit to a space battle #breaking news how a woman dresses has pretty much nothing to do with box office #brie larson #the marvels #the marvels (2023) #captain marvel #carol danvers #discourse #feminism

Idea: The Justice League finds out about Phantom and the situation in Amity Park and decides to go over and try to assist, only to find out that the Magical Girl community have beaten them to it and claimed Danny as one of their own. Yes they’re aware that he’s a boy with a science-based origin story and powers that are completely different from theirs, but they refuse to see why that might make him not a magical girl.

I mean, he’s got a fancy transformation sequence, he’s fighting mythical monsters with the same origin and powers as him, and he has to fight even if he doesn’t want to thanks to how said powers work! How is that not the basic essence of a magical girl?

Danny’s just sort of not fighting it, both because he’s finally got people with powers helping him and because he appreciates that they use his full superhero name, as opposed to the League who insist on just Phantom for some reason.

If Junior Year isn't ending with PvP dynamics between the Bad Kids and the Rat Grinders the other way I see this going down is that whatever the big bad of the season is has their final battle, the Rat Grinders will be involved in some way and they will either -

a) realize they are out of their depth when they try to fight alongside the Bad Kids because they never worked on TEAMWORK and they learn FAST by working together with the Bad Kids and the rivalry is quashed

or

b) die because they rush in ahead of the Bad Kids and when the Bad Kids finally arrive they find all the Rat Grinders defeated

#fantasy high #dimension 20 #d20 #fantasy high junior year #the bad kids #the rat grinders #i would love to see pvp #but this is also reminding me of an aspect of dc comics 52 series where lex luthor hires people to become superheroes and get a metagene #and when it comes time for them to actually step up and be heroes without lex's help they're too afraid to do so #because while they might have powers they don't have the drive to jump in and fight to save people nor the actual battle skill and mettle
