The Last Son of Krypton was monitoring the globe in his Fortress of Solitude when he detected a meteoroid containing several unique xenominerals . These minerals were in fact rare chunks of kryptonite, radioactive pieces of the destroyed planet Krypton, each with unique colors and effects on Superman's alien biology. Perhaps too eager to learn more about his homeworld, Clark immediately called his friend Batman to the Fortress for help in self-administering these new colors of kryptonite and researching each new effect. At the same time, his old rival Lex Luthor launched a new offensive against the Man of Steel in Metropolis, releasing monsters and madmen into the city to destroy, embarrass or discredit Superman, whichever comes first. Now, Superman has to fulfill his role as Earth's defender while contending with the mind-bending effects of the new colors of kryptonite.

Feats come from Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum and are marked with the issue number they’re from.

##Effects of Kryptonite

Green Kryptonite

Green-k hurts Superman.

• Green kryptonite is normally able to flush the effects of red kryptonite out of Superman^2
• Superboy is blasted by Toyman’s green kryptonite gun, which incapacitates him and nearly knocks him out^3
• Superman takes Kryptonite Man's green-K beam, but flies off right afterwards^5
• Kryptonite Man hits Clark across a few city blocks with a fist formed of green-K^5

Purple Kryptonite

Purple-k impairs Superman’s sense of time.

• After being exposed to purple kryptonite, Superman begins hearing and uttering disjointed spoken sentences that are later revealed to be things spoken some time in the past or future^1
• Purple kryptonite effects Superman’s hippocampus, severely impacting his ability to perceive time sequentially^1
• Superman begins getting random hallucinations of scenes from his future and past^1
• Superman experiences an entire fight with Solomon Grundy in disjointed flashes, but manages to focus enough to perceive the entire scene sequentially^1
• Over time, the effects of purple kryptonite wane. Several hours after first exposure, the radiation in Superman’s cells is down to twenty five percent, although he’s still prone to flashbacks and flash-forwards.^1
• Kryptonite Man blasts Clark with a purple beam, barraging him briefly with images of the near future and the far past, as far back as his infancy^5

Cobalt Kryptonite

Cobalt-k makes Superman grow.

• Standing near cobalt kryptonite causes Superman to grow into a giant^1
• After being exposed to cobalt K, Batman estimates that Superman is growing at a rate of four inches every twenty five minutes. The mineral’s radiation was also strong enough to penetrate the testing room’s lead shielding.^2
• He ends up growing much faster than Batman projected, reaching about three thousand feet in a few seconds. He was inside the Fortress of Solitude and ended up breaking through the roof with his head.^2
• Big Superman towers over the skyscrapers in Metropolis^2
• After extensive labwork, Batman mixes 3.5 grams of powdered cobalt kryptonite with radioactive material recovered from Chemo’s chassis, creating a mix that he hypothesizes will make Superboy into an adult again^3
• Batman’s cobalt K/Chemo mixture works, instantly restoring Superman to his adult form^3
• Kryptonite Man blasts Clark with a cobalt beam, making him a giant target for Lex Luthor's Bizarro bots. He then blasts Superman back to normal size with a speckled beam.^5

Speckled Kryptonite

Speckled-k makes Superman shrink.

• A speckled kryptonite blast is able to shrink Big Superman back down to normal size. It also flushes the effects of red kryptonite from his system.^2
• After being shrunk with speckled kryptonite and drinking the contents of the radioactive monster Chemo, Superman rapidly ages backwards until he becomes Superboy again^2
• Kryptonite Man blasts Clark with a cobalt beam, making him a giant target for Lex Luthor's Bizarro bots. He then blasts Superman back to normal size with a speckled beam.^5
• Superman starts dying of a rare, unique disease that Batman calls "fifth disease". He likens it to a pediatric illness that Superman's adult physiology struggles to overcome. To save his life, Batman reverses Superman's age to infancy using a measured dose of speckled kryptonite and Chemo’s chemicals.^5

Rainbow Kryptonite

A unique mineral with ties to the Fifth Dimension.

• Rainbow kryptonite is actually not kryptonite at all, but instead a physical “distress signal” from another dimension^3
• Batman looks at a sliver of rainbow kryptonite under an electron microscope, revealing a message from the Fifth-Dimensional imp, Mr. Mxyzptlk^3
• In the presence of rainbow kryptonite, Clark summons his Fifth Dimensional imp Kal-Elf into the real world, who then uses his 5D powers to blow up the Kryptonite Man^5

Other Colors of Kryptonite

• Black kryptonite splits his brain in two and gold kryptonite robs him of his powers^1
• Lex Luthor hits Superman with a missile powered by red kryptonite, which inverts his personality and instantly makes him cynical, angry and violent^2
• Luthor's pink kryptonite missile makes Superman a lil' zesty, but it could've just been one man appreciating another man's sense of style, who knows^5

---

##Equipment

Superbots

• Superbot 27 travels to space in a small, diamond-shaped spacecraft and retrieves a meteoroid while Superman oversees from the Fortress’s computers^1
• The robots were able to maintain safety of the kryptonite fragments when Superman grew and destroyed much of the Fortress^2
• An army of Superbots fight Luthor's army of Bizarro bots, although the Superbots are eventually decimated by the stronger bots^5

Other

• Has security cameras in Gotham City and communications systems to talk to Batman from his Fortress^1
• Uses a high-tech laser cannon to separate four chunks of kryptonite out of the meteoroid, despite its high molecular density^1
• Uses an energy cannon to extract the radiation of the kryptonite and direct it into a single blast, which allows Superman to take on the full effects of the kryptonite all at once^1

---

##Trip to the Fifth Dimension

• Superman counts to five and shouts his name backwards, transporting himself to the Fifth Dimension^3
• While his mind experiences the Fifth Dimension, his body stays stuck on Earth in an inert state, like he’s dreaming of his experience in the other dimension. Dr Fate says that if he’s not extracted in time, he could die.^4
• While in the Fifth Dimension, he conjures up his own shapeshifting imp, Kal-Elf, through thought alone^4
• Wills himself out of spaghettification in the Fifth Dimension^4

---

##Miscellaneous

• When Superman grows giant, his suit grows with him^2
• Repeated exposure to green-K and the new kryptonite spectrum causes Clark to break out in splotchy skin, an early warning sign of “fifth disease”^5

> It’s time… time to SHINE!

The boy who would be Omega-Bam-Man was born on planet Galaxia, a farming world where the males of the species were kept docile for fear of awakening a violent, aggressive gene. He never strayed from his non-physical duties until catching a broadcast of Wrestling Across the Multiverse. Inspired by the skill, brutality and entertainment value of the reigning champ Bromega, Bam-Man rigorously trained in secret, hoping to earn the physique of a W.A.M. wrestler. When his training was discovered and he was shunned by his people, OBM would chance upon Bromega wrestling in his planet's capital Galactic City and become his apprentice.

Under the eye of Bromega, Omega-Bam-Man quickly rose through the ranks of the Wrestling Across the Multiverse brackets. When Bromega was seemingly killed by the executive from the Fourth World, Mr. Scuzz, OBM trained hard and got revenge, taking the title of W.A.M. champ from Scuzz in a title bout on Thanagar. Since then, Bam-Man has defended his title in countless brawls on countless planets, barreling into the paths of heroes like the Flash and Green Lantern in the process.

Hover over a feat to see which issue it’s from.

---

##Strength

Striking

• Dropkicks Powtower with the Flying Arrow
• As a child, he jumped up and knocked out a giant, charging alien called a trino with one punch
• Kicks Mr. Scuzz in the head
• Leaps high into the air and drops a mean Cosmic Elbow on Bromega, generating a massive dome-shaped explosion

Lifting/Throwing

• Lifts the big fighter Maul and tosses him into a large chunk of asphalt, a move also called the Bam Slam. This dazes Maul long enough for the Flash to pin him.
• Hits Noxious Ned with a Phan-Lee Throw, launching him far away into a Ferris wheel hard enough to cause it to collapse
• As a child, he followed a training regimen that saw him lifting heavy farming equipment and stones or breaking trees in half with strikes
• Lifts massive weights
• Pitches a parademon into Bromega, throwing the wrestler backwards

Slamming

• Catches a thrown Powtower and slams him into the street with a Bam Slam, creating a giant shockwave that tosses aside cars and causes the street to collapse
• Hits a front facelock cutter on Noxious Ned, accidentally falling on and crushing a parademon
• Hits Bromega with a Paltion Nail Drive drop, cratering the ground beneath them

Other

• Caves in a car's roof by sitting on it
• Bends a giant gorilla-like alien with some kind of submission hold, defeating it
• Floors Kriegmeister10 off-panel and gets Lobo in a Calvarian Claw hold

---

##Durability

• Gets launched by Kriegmeister10’s Nova Punch
• Kriegmeister10’s Nova Punch apparently launched OBM outside of time and space, causing him to be found floating outside the space-time barrier, where he was struck by Mr. Terrific’s T-Ship
• Gets thrown by Noxious Ned into a wooden stand
• An Nth-metal Ferris wheel falls on Omega-Bam-Man, but he digs himself out of the rubble right afterwards
• Bromega’s arrival via teleportation create an explosion of energy that throws Omega-Bam-Man and leaves him smoking
• Thrown by a thunderclap from Bromega

---

##Skill

• OBM fights several tag-team rounds with Wally West, hitting opponents with two-man moves like the Titan Iron Arm clothesline, a two-man suplex and Reverse Pull Weed submission hold
• Uses Plastic Man as a trampoline and launches himself at two giant enemies
• Along with the Terrifics and Gold Beetle, OBM fights the Anti-Monitor and knocks him out off- panel
• Trained in the art of wrestling under Bromega
• He’s defended his title as Multiversal Champ at least 252 times
• Fights Mr. Scuzz for six days and nights straight before defeating him, taking the W.A.M. Championship title
• Tackles Bromega, then simultaneously shoves Knockout and kicks Mr. Scuzz

---

##Miscellaneous

• His W.A.M. Championship belt grants the wearer an extended lifespan, a great tan, and by OBM’s estimation, triples their natural strength
• He's been alive for thousands of years
• He's inoculated with translator microbes, which allows him to understand alien languages
• His theme song is I Am A Real Galaxian
• His haircut was inspired by Superman, back when he rocked the mullet

Several killers from the 2025 Oak Valley death game are pitted against several other assassins recently posted to r/respectthreads. Standard equipment for all fighters.

##The Lone Gunman vs Cassian (John Wick 2)

Lone Gunman

• Rolls to evade a crashing ambulance
• Knocks the blade out of Fox Mask Killer’s hand with a knife
• Brawls with Fox Mask Killer, throwing a knife into her hand and cracking her mask with a punch
• Blows Leopold Strong’s head apart with a handgun
• Handgun fire leaves holes in tombstones

Cassian

• Throws Wick through a window
• His suit is bulletproof, and he gets up seconds after being shot a few times by Wick’s Glock
• John kicks the shit out of him for a bit yet he keeps going
• Matches Wick in a quickdraw
• Parries an attack from John Wick then disarms him of his knife

Verdict

With how strong the Lone Gunman’s bullets are, I feel like Cassian’s bulletproof suit might not withstand shots as well as it typically does. His handgun shots alone create massive exit wounds and blow golf ball-sized holes in stone, and he’s seen carrying larger pieces of ordinance into Oak Valley. I feel like even if the Gunman’s shots aren’t fatal, they’d be leaving welts or breaking bones on direct hits. We also know for sure that Cassian's suit can be impaled with a knife. Of course, the Lone Gunman’s only protections are worn as a mask on his face, so either combatant would be about equal in terms of how much damage can be dealt per gunshot.

As for melee range, I also feel like both combatants are around the same level. Cassian has feats for tangling with John Wick, executing great feats of blocking, redirection and takedowns, while Lone Gunman has feats of taking a knife to a swordfight against the Fox Mask Killer. Of course, neither gunman actually gets a clean win on their opponent and they eventually end up with knives in their chests, but still, the close range combat skill is there.

An extremely close matchup, where I think the needle moves slightly closer to Cassian in melee combat and slightly towards the Lone Gunman at range. I’d give the barest nod to the Lone Gunman if only on account of his wider arsenal and him being handier with a knife.

Winner: Lone Gunman

##Rascal Randy vs the Russian (The Punisher, 2004)

Rascal Randy

• Lifts a teenager while choking him
• Crushes a man’s head with a soda dispenser
• Gets up after being stabbed in the face with a pencil
• He's seemingly killed after he's shoved out a second-story window and is impaled through the chest on the handle of Leopold Strong's mallet but he manages to survive and escapes Oak Valley before clean-up crews can recover him
• He killed seven people in a play place via strangulation, a choke hold and with various sharp kitchen implements

The Russian

• Punches through a door, then floors Frank with a punch
• Hits Frank through a wooden door
• Throws Frank through an apartment wall
• Gets stabbed with a knife and is fine
• Only briefly stunned and then pissed off after he's hit in the face with a crowbar
• Hits a thrown grenade like a baseball, sending it back through a hole in a door

Verdict

In terms of strength, the Russian beats Randy handily. His feats of strangulation and lifting a teenager pale in comparison to the collateral damage generated by the Russian. The fact that he's capable of tossing around Frank Castle with punches or throws means he'd dominate whether in striking or grappling ranges.

The Russian also seems to have better endurance. Rabbit Randy does survive impalement and gets up before the credits roll like a true slasher villain, but his in-the-moment pain resistance is kind of bad. Compare the pencil stab scene to the Russian's knife stab scene and you can clearly see which killer can shrug off more damage mid-fight.

With no notable acts of speed for Randy, the Russian takes the stat triangle handily. The only thing going for the bunny mascot is better use of improvised weapons, but against a physical monster who laughs off stab wounds or crowbars to the face, he'd need to get really lucky to have a chance of finding something that could drop the Russian.

Winner: the Russian

##Lady Carolina vs the Green Arrow Killer (Absolute DC)

Lady Carolina

• Blocks a thrown kunai with her crossbow
• Fights with the Fox Mask Killer, getting pounced on before kicking her enemy off of her. Lady Carolina then gets thrown to the floor but manages to bite the Fox Mask’s lower lip to recover.
• She receives a large gash across her torso from the Fox Mask Killer’s sword
• She killed four men in a bar, lodging a broken bottle in the chest of one victim

Green Arrow Killer

• Beheads two men with swung machetes
• Wears body armor that allows them to take two shots from a revolver
• Off-panel, they killed Jubal Slade’s six-man security detail, mostly with headshots
• From cover, they ricochet an arrow off three surfaces to shoot a target in the back
• Their arrows are coated in a poison that induces boils, hemorrhaging and death, with glancing shots delivering lethal doses

Verdict

The Green Arrow’s shots are massively more dangerous than Lady Carolina’s bolts thanks to their poison, which makes even a glancing blow fatal in seconds. They’re also much handier with their bow than Lady Carolina, with feats of ricocheting arrows off the environment or scoring headshots on groups of targets. Comparatively, Lady Carolina has only really grazed a moving target with her very expensive crossbow.

Close range combat is also kind of a wash. Green Arrow’s got machetes on cords while Lady Carolina doesn’t really have anything aside from her crossbow. In all fairness, she has trained with every form of weapon found in the murder games, but they’re also not part of her standard equipment and she’d need to get lucky and find an improvised weapon. Which would be challenging to pull off while being pursued by the Green Arrow Killer.

Overall, feeding the Green Arrow Killer another member of the billionaire elite could only really go one way.

Winner: the Green Arrow Killer

##Pretty Boy vs Bullseye (Marvel MAX)

Pretty Boy

• Counters a stab from the Congregation and breaks his arm, then does the same to his neck
• Kicks a door off its hinges
• He’s kicked towards an exploding van^7 , which burns and mangles half of his face and leaves his body full of glass shards. Despite the injuries, Pretty Boy isn’t impeded and massacres a group of people right after.
• Ducks under three handgun shots
• Disembowels one person with a chop, then throws his hatchet into another person’s head

Bullseye

• Fights off numerous men while barely moving and monologuing to himself, including utilizing a belt to choke someone out
• Breaks the Kingpin’s finger and manages to overwhelm him
• Takes a shot to the back
• Dodges a punch from the Kingpin then strikes him
• Swallows a small pistol, and shits it out, using it to kill 6 people who thought he was unarmed

Verdict

Strength and hand-to-hand skill goes to Bullseye, mostly because his on-panel fights are against more skilled opponents. He beats the crap out of mobsters and has survived a fight with the Punisher, while Pretty Boy directs his violence towards civilians and dies when he tries fighting someone like the Fox Mask Killer. Pretty boy does have an advantage in his hatchets, which he always has with him, while Bullseye has very little in terms of “standard arsenal” and wings most of his fights or assassinations.

In terms of endurance, Bullseye has shrugged off non-fatal gunshots and Pretty Boy has responded the same to non-lethal lacerations. Pretty Boy takes the edge for recovering shortly after the van explosion and fighting on despite his heavily burned and cut up state.

Although Bullseye is said to never miss a target, Pretty Boy's feat of ducking handgun bullets should grant him a degree of safety. His skill in tossing hatchets also means he isn't completely helpless against a foe who favors ranged combat.

Ultimately, I think the fight should favor Pretty Boy. Seeing as how he can duck bullets, the fight should move to close ranges pretty quickly, and he's handier with hatchets than Shelton is with his melee weapons or fists.

Winner: Pretty Boy

---

##Fox Mask Killer vs Foolkiller (Marvel MAX)

Fox Mask Killer

• Brawls with Lone Gunman, sweeping his legs with a kick and striking his elbow with a palm strike
• Breaks Pretty Boy’s forearm with an elbow strike
• Kicks Pretty Boy in the face and follows up by decapitating him
• Fights with Lady Carolina, taking a crossbow bolt to her shoulder and leaping on her enemy before flooring her with a throw
• Cartwheels to avoid an overhead strike from Pretty Boy, then throws a bottle at his head
• She slices clean through Lady Carolina’s very expensive crossbow and leaves a large gash across her torso

Foolkiller

• Cuts a man in half at the waist
• Slices a mans head in half
• Swings from a rope and holds his sword out, decapitating several enemies
• Punched through the nose and shoved through glass
• Slashes a man's fingers off before he could reach his gun, then does so again on the other hand, then takes off his hand, then his arm
• Sneaks up on a man and kills him with his sword

Verdict

Both swordfighters are capable of slashing heads off with relative ease. Slight points for Foolkiller, who mixes it up with showings for cutting skulls in half or decapitating several combatants in a single slash. In terms of skill, they’re both scourges of the underworld known for massacring groups of criminals, it’s just that the Fox Mask Killer’s gang fights all happen before the death game and are implied rather than shown. For one-on-one fights, I give the slight edge to Fox Mask. Sure, Foolkiller has tangled with big names like the Punisher, but Fox Mask has personally spanked around her world’s top killers, whittling them down until they’re in pieces. Foolkiller mostly dominates no-names, but for more skilled foes like Sickle Moon or the Punisher, the fights are much harder fought or don’t result in fatalities.

Fox Mask's fighting style is also more agile and shows her exercising more verticality, whether that's by jumping off car hoods to attack from above or getting low to sweep legs. Mike is more of a straightforward, both feet on the ground kind of fighter. Still effective, but easier to read and respond to for an equal fighter.

In terms of durability, both are capable of ignoring injuries that would take the fight out of lesser combatants. Mike takes bullets while Fox Mask takes bolts, and neither seem to impede them from swinging their swords. I'd give the tiniest edge to Fox Mask, as she has a feat of fighting through a chopped up hand, which could prove very relevant against a guy who loves amputating pieces like Foolkiller.

Foolkiller definitely has advantages in equipment and stealth. The fact that he carries two handguns and his opponent only carries a kunai means that he's much more comfortable at long and mid-range. I don't think it's an automatic win, since Fox Mask is experienced in decimating gun-toting groups, but it would help. If he were to play it smart, he could disengage from direct combat and attack from stealth, maybe with a gunshot from behind that'd be tougher to evade for Fox Mask.

Overall, I'm leaning towards the Fox Mask Killer on account of her more dynamic, unorthodox fighting style and experience fighting equals, although the Foolkiller could potentially earn a win by getting creative with stealth or firearms.

Winner: Fox Mask Killer

Like many drifters, the man named Nada blew into Los Angeles in pursuit of work. He joined a homeless encampment which served a number of colorful characters, including a blind street preacher warning about a secret, invisible class of people who rule over humanity. While most dismissed the preacher as a madman, Nada kept his eye on him and the church that he retreated to every night. Nada’s suspicions were validated when a militarized police force bulldozed the homeless encampment and set fire to the church.

The following day, Nada enters the church and stumbles upon a pair of nondescript sunglasses, one set in a box of a hundred. Upon wearing these shades, he finds that he can see the truth of the universe for the first time. Our advertising, our entertainment, our politics are all means to subliminally control the human population into remaining in a consciousless, dream-like state. Perhaps most terrifying is the fact that the rulers, who truly resemble insectoid, skull-faced demons, are able to hide their true forms and walk among us in the guise of humans. Armed with knowledge that many are unaware of or afraid to accept, Nada seeks to disrupt the overlords’ consciousness-dampening signals and free the human population of their mind control.

---

##Physicals

Strength/Skill

• Drops an alien cop by pulling him into a clothesline punch, then drops another with a quick combination
• Blocks a few of Frank's punches

• Nada fights with his friend Frank in an attempt to get him to wear the glasses. The brawl lasts around six full minutes, with Nada eating many punches, knee strikes to the head and groin, a bite to the hand and a hard drop onto pavement. Eventually, they stop fighting when Nada floors Frank and forces the sunglasses onto his face.
• He’s thrown several feet by a nearby explosion and gets up with help a few seconds later
• [Limit] He’s gunned down by an alien cop but flips off his killer before going

---

##Equipment

> You, you're okay. This one? Real fuckin' ugly. You see, I take these glasses off, she looks like a regular person, doesn't she? Put 'em back on… formaldehyde-face!

Sunglasses

• The glasses alter the wearer’s vision, presenting their surroundings in monochrome. Any kind of hidden subliminal messaging is revealed to the wearer, whether they’re hidden in billboards, murals, signage or literature.
• The human disguises of the alien overlords are also disabled when the glasses are worn, allowing Nada to see them as they really are
• The alien’s audio signal emitters are revealed when wearing the glasses, allowing Nada to audibly hear their repeated messages
• Reveals invisible flying drones
• Extended use of the glasses can cause headaches and fatigue, with Nada likening it to a drug’s high and come-down period
• When Nada meets up with the revolution, they give him contact lenses with the same effects as the sunglasses. There’s less interference with the contact lenses so they can be used for more prolonged periods with less severe headaches.

Weapons

• Steals a Colt Python, then shoots two alien cops with it
• Steals an Ithaca 37 shotgun from a cop car and blasts several aliens in a bank with it, including an alien cop
• Blows up a flying mechanical drone

• Using a Heckler & Koch HK94 supplied by the revolution, Nada shoots at cops on rooftops and fire escapes, then more on the ground
• Sneaks a Desert Eagle Mark I, supplied by the revolution, into the alien base and drops a guard with it, and another one later
• With a commandeered M16, Nada opens fire on a TV news station, dropping several aliens. Later, he drops a half dozen soldiers with the rifle in the hallways and stairway.
• Uses a concealed Beretta Jetfire to shoot Holly, then take out the alien’s satellite dish

With superpowers that permanently transformed him into a humanoid bat monster, no one would fault Victor for venturing into violent crime. Instead, Sonar engaged in felonies such as embezzlement, money laundering and investment fraud. He used his Harvard education to quickly become one of the most prominent white collar criminals in the San Francisco area. He was eventually apprehended and signed up for the Superhero Dispatch Network's Phoenix Program for supervillains to give back to society in exchange for clean records.

Depending on player choice, Sonar can be cut from the Z-Team by Robert, which causes him to fall in with the villain Shroud’s Red Ring gang. He’s upgraded by the villain’s bio-technology, so feats in this scenario will be in italics.

---

##Dispatch Call Perks

• Starting: Instincts- After returning from a call, Sonar transforms into a Mega Bat, growing larger and growing wings. His Intellect stats are traded for Combat, and his Charisma for Vigor, until he completes another call and switches back.
• Possible Upgrade: Strong Back- After getting his flight license, he flies to and from missions, greatly reducing call time. He can also carry non-flying allies with him.

Size/Mass

• Analysis of genuine yeti footprints found in Nepal imply that they’re human-sized, around six feet tall
• A fully grown, male yeti is likely around 400-600 pounds, or around 2.5 refrigerators

Strength

• Because of the physical requirements for climbing in an elevated environment, the yeti has grown strong, particularly its ability to grip
• The yeti must have an extremely muscular body and limbs due to the constant climbing and movement in the snowy Himalayas
• A yeti knocks aside a sherpa, then proceeds to snap the necks of five yaks, one by one
• A yeti attacks a group of Russian hikers, killing each in a variety of ways. Bodies were found with parts of their face torn away, with eyes removed, and crushed under great force.

Durability

• Yeti live in the Himalayan mountains and have adapted to the harsh conditions of snowy mountain living
• Recovers quickly after getting dirt thrown in its face
• Withstands several of the bigfoot’s punches until the beast begins to tire, its durability owed to its broad, muscular chest
• It’s defeated when bigfoot stomps on it, but its only knocked out

Speed

• The yeti can travel inhumanely fast, even over terrain like ice, snow and mountain ridge

Intelligence/Capabilities

• Yeti are intelligent enough to avoid a series of motion detector cameras
• Yeti are smart enough to use vocalized calls for communication
• Yeti can throw boulders at targets

• The Loch Ness Monster would beat a yeti in the water, but a yeti would win on land

Miscellaneous

• Yeti are likely carnivorous and make their meals out of smaller mammals like marmots or larger mammals like yaks. There’s been one report of a yeti attacking a woman as a potential food source.
• A yeti’s teeth are razor-sharp and used to bite enemies
• Yeti can summon snowstorms with their roars
• Yeti can disappear and reappear in hidden cities that are inaccessible to normal travelers, so it’s likely that they can just freely teleport
• These extradimensional powers are just theories, unlike all the other research into bigfoots and yetis which is one hundred percent based in fact and evidence

The mysterious Bigfoot, the humanoid cryptid from the American Pacific Northwest, is released against its distant relative from Asia to see which beast comes out on top.

• Stomps on the yeti with its big foot to win the fight

Durability

• Blocks several thrown rocks with its forearm

Speed

• It evades the yeti’s pounce
• Evades several of the yeti’s claw strikes

Intelligence/Capabilities

• Sasquatches are smart enough to use vocalized calls for communication

Other Fights

• Bigfoot would beat a grizzly bear, a skunkape and a dogman in a fight
• It’s inconclusive if they would beat a wendigo in a fight
• The Loch Ness Monster would beat a bigfoot in the water, but bigfoot would win on land

Miscellaneous

• Bigfoots are omnivores. They forage mushrooms or grubs but will hunt animals like deer if sufficiently hungry.
• Bigfoot can interdimensionally travel through space, possibly through its relationship with grey aliens
• These extradimensional powers are just theories, unlike all the other research into bigfoots and yetis which is one hundred percent based in fact and evidence

The Bigfoot has lived in the Black Hills of Deadwood, South Dakota for years. A freak snowstorm interrupts the beast’s hibernation cycle, causing it to go on a feeding frenzy. Instead of deer or bears, the beast goes after human beings. Now, the whole town has to survive the claws, teeth and feet of the sasquatch until the National Guard can blow it up.

> Idiot. He should have known Firefly's only real loyalty is to the flame. True, the destructive chemical Black Mask injected into my system provided the spark of inspiration. And once I had seen it work, I refined the idea, making it my own. For weeks, I moved quietly through the city gathering my "kindling". And all the while Black Mask battled Penguin and Two-Face for Gotham's corpse. Laughable. Fighting over a ruined husk that deserves only cremation. A final blaze of glory, with every lost soul dancing at its wake. Here's to Gotham, long may she burn.

Growing up in St. Evangelina Home for Orphans, Garfield Lynns always had a fascination with setting fires and watching the flames lick away at the world. While he was never adopted, he did put his fascination to use in the world of motion pictures. He was sought after by movie studios for his ability to build convincing pyrotechnic effects as only one who loved the flames could do. His success came to a halt when he put his obsession before professionalism, building a pyrotechnic effect so strong that it maimed the lead actress. Lynns was fired and turned to crime to pay the bills.

Linking up with the fledgling crook Killer Moth, Garfield decided he wanted to take on an insect theme as well. Using his experience in pyrotechnics, Garfield assembled a flameproof costume, a napalm-based flamethrower and a set of metal wings to become the Firefly. The alliance between the bugs only lasted a few chaotic nights, as Killer Moth began to see the true madness behind the eyes of his ally. Now, Firefly sets fires across Gotham City, sometimes for pay and often for pleasure, as he tries to stay ahead of the Batman.

Notes

Hover over a feat to see which comic it's from.

Firefly was initially presented as a villain with a purple and green costume with a light gimmick. By Knightfall in 1993, he was presented as the winged, black-costumed pyromaniac. While it looks like two different versions of the character, the light gimmick was used in 1986 issues of Outsiders, part of Post-Crisis canon. There's also this one photo that suggests he wore the green and purple after he became an arsonist.

Ultimately, he’s just not all that important for writers to care about canon. That time he covered ninety percent of his body in burnscar was forgotten about in his next appearance. So was that time he was killed by an OMAC unit. For these reasons, this thread covers both Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis canons for Garfield Lynns.

• While incarcerated, he builds an equalizer beam that blends the color of his body with that of the inside of a truck, making him invisible
• Blasts two security guards with an illusion ray, making them see Firefly as a giant monster and the room to bend around them. Firefly states that the effect will last for hours.
• Drains all the electric light from a baseball stadium, including from flashlights held by audience members, then projects it all from his costume. When Geo-Force removes Firefly’s gadgets, the lights come back on.

---

##After Stealing Halo’s Powers

Garfield once stole the powers of Halo, the light-manipulating hero of the Outsiders.

General

• Draws the light and color out of Halo, enhancing his own control over the light spectrum. He projects weaponized light at the Outsiders before flying off thanks to his new powers.

• Flies high above the city
• His metal wings are bulletproof, so Nightwing uses Firefly as a human shield
• Charges through a window and flies off

• Flies up to avoid the Batmobile ramming through a wall and into him
• He flies while Dick Grayson Batman holds onto his leg until Dick gums up Firefly’s jetpack with a glue-based gadget

Other Incendiary Weapons

• Firefly triggers a mechanism in his suit that covers it in flames. He then runs into a paint store, igniting the chemicals inside and creating a large explosion. His suit protects him from most of the heat and he walks off with only a burned hand.
• Developes a series of microchips that can be implanted within the human body without the victim knowing. Afterwards, Firefly triggers the chips from a computer, causing every victim with a chip implanted inside them to combust.
• The combustion chips are triggered via electronic signal

##Miscellaneous

• His original gang flies in a helicopter with a mounted machine gun
• Looker telepathically removes the memory of one of the few successes he’s had in his criminal career
• Garfield’s pyromania compels him to stay around and watch the fires he sets. After lighting most of a boardwalk amusement park on fire, he stands on top of a roller coaster and watches the flames dance.
• He literally spends nights at home igniting lighter fluid in pots to watch them burn
• He sometimes hallucinates naked women dancing in the flames
• Gets off on the sight of people on fire and cigarette burns
• When the bio-technical Hourman Virus ravages Gotham City, Firefly’s pyromania is somehow spread to the citizens of Gotham until the villain is incapacitated
• After Black Mask had several criminals injected with deadly chemicals that he could trigger to cause death, Firefly burned the chemicals out of his body in a painful process

Following the collapse of Outer Heaven, the private military company World Marshall, Inc. took its place as the largest PMC on the global stage. CEO and Colorado Senator Steven Armstrong established a shell company, Desperado Enforcement, LLC., to forcibly instigate the war economy. Through Desperado, Armstrong sought to attack developing or recovering nations, keeping them in a state where battle and bloodshed would not cease through any manner of diplomacy or peace deal. The major players of Desperado would be cyborgs whose lives were defined by war themselves, codenamed the Winds of Destruction. The Winds would be scattered in 2018 following fights with an even deadlier cyborg soldier.

Technically speaking, Jetstream Sam is not considered a full member of the Winds of Destruction or affiliated with Desperado even though he’s got a wind based codename. Here is the Jetstream Sam respect thread just because.

##How to use on Whowouldwin

To fight any member of the Winds of Destruction, the most important stats to have are speed and skill. Each of them engage in melee combat at ludicrous speeds, and a combatant would need to be around as fast as Raiden to effectively block, dodge or counter their strikes.

Khamsin, chump that he is, would be the weakest member of the Winds. He's a dumb, blunt tool of a fighter, even if his massive chainsaw-axe is an extremely destructive force. Next would probably be Sundowner. His build focuses on strong defense but he's also deceptively fast with his scissor blades. After would be Mistral. She floods the battlefield with a seemingly endless army of Dwarf Gekkos, which she uses as projectiles, grappling enemies or to restore her destroyed polearm. Finally, Monsoon is the strongest of the four Winds. His fight required Raiden to be in Ripper mode the entire time to overcome his evasive segmented body and his potent telekinetic magnetism.

As a team, well, they don't really work as a team. Mistral literally had Khamsin set up and killed by Bladewolf, so they probably don't even like each other. Ironically, they get along with Jetstream Sam, the unofficial fifth Wind, because he's just that cool. Since any kind of teamwork abilities are completely theoretical, it might make sense to use the team as a gauntlet or put them up against similar sized teams so each fighter is in a one vs one.

Two tyrant kings duke it out to see which one reigns and which one's (pre-)history.

##Terry (Dinosaur King) vs Dinosaurus (Invincible)

For the purposes of this fight, I’m assuming Terry has a trainer nearby that Dinosaurus just has no interest in attacking.

---

##Strength

Terry

• Bites Torosaurus and throws it hundreds of feet
• Throws Paris hard enough to shatter a boulder
• Charges headfirst through a wall, breaking a huge hole in it
• Shatters a wooden house with a head strike

Dinosaurus

• Hits Invincible across a city block with his tail, through some rubble
• Throws a large rock across a block
• Draws blood by slashing Invincible’s chest
• Crushes Invincible’s Robot-made metal bracer in his jaws

Verdict

Both have great instances of smashing through sizable chunks of stone or concrete, with Dinosaurus smacking Mark into one mass and Terry doing the same or smacking it directly. Both are also great at leveraging their mouths and necks to bite or throw their enemies. Terry has the size advantage, as he is much larger than humans compared to Dinosaurus. However, the slight advantage in strength goes to Dinosaurus for managing to cut up the half-Viltrumite hero Invincible with his foreclaws, something that would help immensely if the fight saw extended periods of grappling.

---

##Durability

Terry

• Endures being thrown hundreds of feet away
• Takes multiple big moves from the Deinonychus Trio, but it leaves him very weakened
• Withstands Paris' Metal Wing move
• Gets bitten on the leg by Chomp

Dinosaurus

• Staggered by Invincible's punch
• Sent flying by a kick from Invincible
• Punched through rubble and into an unfinished building, collapsing it and reverting to his human form

Verdict

For this category, the scaling to Invincible is a little more shaky for Dinosaurus. Mark is very much a guy who holds back against enemies until he knows they can take big hits, and when he hits Dinosaurus with a punch that’s actually serious, Dinosaurus is done in one. Terry takes big hits from his equals and keeps fighting on, even after being combo’d or launched, so I’m inclined to give him the advantage, even if it might not protect him from Dinosaurus’s claws.

---

##Speed

Terry

• Rushes Paris before she could use her move
• Outruns the aim of Stegosaurus's Spike Arrows
• Dodges a fireball that is pretty fast
• Dodges multiple attacks from Pentaceratops

Dinosaurus

• Catches Invincible as he is trying to fly away
• Jumps the length of a street quickly

Verdict

I’ll give evasion to Terry, who’s better prepared to lean and step away from a variety of attacks, while giving combat reaction speed to Dinosaurus for that turn and grab on Invincible.

##X-Factors

Terry

• With Volcano Burst, Terry engulfs Ace in flames, defeating him
• With Neck Crusher, Terry throws Carcharodontosaurus up before tail smacking it’s neck and throwing it away
• With Tag Team, a Pawpawsaurus is summoned to block Terry from damage
• With Fire Scorcher, a high effort move that leave Terry exhausted after use, he generates a massive ball of heat that melts metal to slag immediately

Dinosaurus

• He’s probably going to be really smart in a future appearance, but nothing yet

Verdict

I’ve read the comic, I know he’s eventually going to be able to build crazy tech, but so far there’s nothing that Dinosaurus uses outside of his physicals and natural weapons in a fight. Comparatively, Terry has a few moves that generate damaging fire or allow him to pull off crazy acrobatics. Some even summon other dinosaurs to defend or fight for Terry.

##Final Verdict

The win condition for Dinosaurus is simple: get in close and stay there, then use his claws to tear apart Terry in melee range. Since Terry is an accurately-shaped T-rex, his arms are tiny and wouldn’t help in a boxing match. A few deep slashes to the throat area could bring down the rival dino for good.

The challenge lies in getting to that position in the first place. For physical strikes, Terry enjoys using big swipes of his head or tail to knock back enemies. If he gets something in his jaws, he can rear back and throw them or use a move like Neck Crusher to fling them away, taking Dinosaurus out of the close range he needs to end the fight. Fire-based Move Cards would see Dinosaurus trapped in areas of flames or pure, incinerating heat. Summons would mean that he’d be impeded by random Pawpawsuruses or battered by swarms of energy Velociraptors. These Cards would make it tough for Dinosaurus to approach and would keep him in a position for Terry to keep spamming his special moves. This is all ignoring Terry’s DinoTector armored form, which not only makes his superior defenses better, but provided him access to moves like Ultimate Fire, Heat Eruption and Magma Blaster.

Overall, Dinosaurus could win if he gives into his inner animal, gets really close and cuts Terry up. But I find it more likely that Terry swarms and scorches Dinosaurus until he’s extinct.

##Winner: Terry!
