So, Who Would Win?: Moon Knight VS. The Badger

TGIT!!!!!!

Welcome to yet another edition of

where once a week or so I pit comic characters or teams of comic characters against each other in a last man standing battle to see who survives and who falls.

This week I'm pitting two heroes with histories of mental illness, Moon Knight and the Badger, against each other to see who'll be the last loon standing...or something like that.

 

I've never really talked much about Mike Baron's Badger here before, even though his creation's been around since the early 80's.

The Badger is really a former vietnam veteran named Norbert Sykes, who also just so happens to have as serious case of MPD, or multiple personality disorder, brought on by a rough childhood with an abusive stepfather, and further exacerbated by his time serving in Vietnam.

He has a total of 6 personalities including that of his superheroic identity The Badger.

Here's all of them in total:

Personalities of the Badger

• Norbert Sykes: This is his legal identity.
• The Badger: A martial arts expert (4th or 5th dan in Shōrin-ryū karate, plus many other arts) costumed vigilante dispensing bare-fisted justice to bullies and aggressors of the innocent, but according to his own warped perceptions. He often defends animals or environmental causes.
• Emily: 9-year-old girl. Related to childhood abuse at the hands of Sykes' stepfather Rollin Sykes.
• Pierre: Homicidal personality who speaks with a French accent. First appeared when Ham tried to awaken Sykes from his first Emily personality transformation.
• Leroy: A dog. Sykes had a dog named Leroy that his father Larry beat to death.
• Gastineau Grover Depaul: Inner city African American; he is unaware of the other Personalities.
• Max Swell: Architect. Early on, Max was written as a modern epicurean and sophisticated playboy, but appeared to morph into a stereotypical gay man later in the series.

So yeah, he's batshit crazy, but he can still maintain a normal for him type of life.

And of course we all know how legit mentally ill Moon Knight is so I don't think I have to remind of his own personal struggle MPD as well.

Alright, let's compare their respective stats shall we?

-Moon Knight:

Abilities	Expert detective Proficient in martial arts and armed combat Formerly: Increased strength, endurance, and agility depending on the lunar cycle

-The Badger:

Abilities	expert martial artist and talking to animals

Yes that's right, when he's in the personality of the Badger, he can actually make like Dr. Doolittle and talk to the animals. He also seems to have a special empathetic connection with them as well, so yeah, I guess he's like the MPD-having, martial artist version of Animal Man.

So there you go, I'm having these two lunatics fight other for no other reason than my very own entertainment. How very reality tv show producer of me, I know ;)


So,

Moon Knight

VS.

The Badger

Who wins and why?

W.W.A.D?

So....has everyone already seen all those Antman memes lately? You know, the ones where it's all about Ant-Man crawling up Thanos' ass in Endgame in order to defeat him?

If you haven't here's just a small sample of they're like:

Yeah, so apparently that's a thing now. Someone came up with the bright idea that Antman's just going to crawl up Thanos' ass, expand, thus killing him and saving the day.

Apparently it all started off as a simple idea:

and off to the races the meme makers went.

Of course the Russo Brothers said fuck no to that:

Of course that didn't stop the internet, because of course and it doesn't and someone did this:

 Of course I gotta' throw my two cents in, because meanwhile in another universe we find.....

I don't blame him. I really, really don't. 

Top 10: Marvel Villains That Won't Be Made But Should

You know it's true there's just going to be some comic characters that just won't be made into action figures, even though they probably should.

Here's my list of the top 10 Marvel villains I just don't ever see being made in the Marvel Legends toy line. I just don't, no matter how popular or integral they may be.
I'll even throw in a pic of a customized version of said character to show how they'd look in toy form.


Let's get to it.



1). Puppet Master 

2). Space Phantom


3). Immortus 


4). Nightmare

5). Flag-Smasher 


6). Hate-Monger 


7). The Orb 




8).  Akron 

9). The Trapster 


10). Cyber


As you can see based of those customs, they pretty much make the case for themselves don't they?
So while I don't see them possibly ever being made, I'd love Hasbro to prove me wrong.
