So, Who Would Win?: Kurt Busiek's Thunderbolts VS. Warren Ellis's Thunderbolts

TGIT!!!!!!

What's up People?
For this week's edition of So, Who Would Win? I'm pitting Kurt Busiek's original Thunderbolts against Warren Ellis's version of the Thunderbolts.

Why? Because I can, and it sounds like a really, really fun fight.

Now if some of you don't remember by now, the major twist and hook at the end of first issue of the original Thunderbolts run, was that they were all classic villains posing as heroes, all led by Baron Zemo, posing as the patriotic hero Citizen V.

The main hook for Ellis's version of the Thunderbolts, was that they were all criminals who were legally-sanctioned to hunt down heroes and villains alike who violated the registration law post-Civil War.
This incarnation was led by now government operative Norman Osbourne, AKA, the Green Goblin.

How cool would it be to see these two similar, but also vastly different iterations of the same team face off against each other?

That's what I want to know.

Here's the roster for the original Thunderbolts:

• Citizen V (Baron Zemo)
• Meteorite (Moonstone)
• Atlas (Goliath)
• Songbird (Screaming Mini)
• Techno (The Fixer)
• Mach V (The Beetle)

And now here's the roster for Ellis's Thunderbolts:

• Norman Osbourne (Green Goblin)
• Moonstone 
• Bullseye 
• The Radioactive Man
• Venom (The Scorpion)
• The Swordsman (Andre Strucker)
• Songbird 
• Penance (Speedball)

Now as you can plainly see, at least two of the members from the first incarnation are also on the Goblin-led one, so that automatically makes it even more interesting to watch play out.

And no, I didn't add Jolt to the original line-up because she wasn't part of the initial original line-up, and 'cause I said so.

So, 

Kurt Busiek's Thunderbolts 

VS.

Warren Ellis's Thunderbolts 

 

Who wins and why?.
Let me know who thinks the last team standing in the comments' section below.

So, Who Would Win?: Cable VS. Deathstroke the Terminator

TGIT!!!!!!!


I wonder how many people have though of this match up before. It's had to have been a lot, and why wouldn't you?
Just the very idea of seeing these two seasoned, battle-tested soldiers of their caliber should be an irresistibly intriguing one.

Continuing from yesterday's Fantasy Team-Up between Cable and the Wolfman and Perez incarnation of the Teen Titans, we see Deathstroke the Terminator appear during Cable's offer to mentor and lead the Titans. Interrupting before allowing the Titans to answer, Deathstroke prepares to attack our young heroes in order to fulfill his dead son's contract out on them.

But Cable chooses to stand in his way, partly to prove himself to the Titans in order to gain their trust, and partly to insure that the already weakened and battle-weary teens are around for him to mentor and lead.

We all know Cable's powers; one of the most powerful Mutants around with the abilities of telepathy and telekinesis. Combined with his techno-organic body parts and a long lifetime's worth of combat experience, he's pretty much the Ideally perfect soldier.

Then you have Deathstroke; he's basically an evil Captain America, with super-enhanced speed, agility, at the peak of normal human strength, combined with a healing factor. He's extremely resourceful and always carries a wide array of deadly weapons on his person. He once took out the Justice League during Identity Crisis, if that helps demonstrate how dangerous he is.

So, 

Cable

VS.

Deathstroke the Terminator

So, Who Would Win?: Spider-Man VS. The Rogues

Hey folks,
Been awhile I know, and trust me I have a damn good reason why the long absence.
Long story short, I had to replace my transmission, and very shortly after, the hard drive in my laptop shit the bed, so I'm out a laptop until I can afford to fix it next month.
Now sure, I could've kept up with this blog via my cell and other devices, but it's just not the same, nor as easy to do without it.
So after this latest post, I'll be playing the waiting game until I can post again on a more regular basis.

Now, finishing up what I started earlier this month, I'm pitting Spider-Man against the Flash's Rogues, much like I did when I pitted Barry Allen against the Sinister Six.

The Rogues I'm using in this fight, are the ones usually associated with the Rogues:

- Captain Cold
- Captain Boomerang
- Heatwave
- Mirror Master
- Weather Wizard
-The Trickster

Now as I've said before, I personally feel the Rogues would be more of a challenge to Spider-Man than the Sinister Six would be to Barry.

Why? The Rogues have been conditioned to deal with someone who moves as fast as the Flash does. Due to that factor, Spider's famous speed is kinda' neutralized.

Not saying Spider-Man wouldn't win out in the end, but I think the Rogues win the first round until Spidey gets a second wind, and rebounds for the win.

But that's just me......

So,

Spider-Man

VS.

The Rogues

Who wins and why?
