Unsure of a good way to make your fight more interesting than just "X Character vs. Y Character"? Check out our Official Submission Template for a few suggestions on how you can structure your battle with additional conditions and formatting to make it more interesting.



Rules - Wiki

  1. Be nice. Do not insult others, use derogatory terms, or resort to ad hominem arguments.
  2. Do not downvote. As this is a debate forum, we ask that you join the conversation, and not attempt to bury a point you don't like. If a post breaks the rules, please report it.
  3. Repost with moderation. We will remove posts that are duplicated in quick succession. We do not allow very similar posts on the same day, or an individual posting very similar posts every couple of days repeatedly. However, revisiting topics every once in a while is allowed.
  4. Do not make new posts more than 5 times a day.
  5. When making a claim about a character, be able to provide the source of that claim. A source can include the work of media that claim comes from, and the chapter, page, scene, ETC where it occurred. Refusal to provide details is considered posting in bad faith and can result in a warning or temporary ban.
  6. Do not post meta-topics without mod approval, except on "Meta Monday" when we open posts to general meta conversation. Meta-topics include conversation topics, tournaments, events, or other non-conventional posts. This rule will only be enforced Tuesday through Sunday.
  7. Do not use disruptive or gimmick accounts. Accounts posting with a gimmick or agenda in mind will be banned.
  8. Posts may not be overly broad. A post must identify at least one specific combatant and must include all combatants in the title. A post may not include "...in all of fiction" or "...in all of history."
  9. Posts must include sufficient details about the characters, the situation and the win conditions. Posts with low effort descriptions will be removed.
  10. Do not use disallowed combatants and modifiers. Topics not allowed in posts include "you vs...", "your favorite character vs...", "a specific subreddit or online community vs..." or "character with a [color] lantern ring vs..."
  11. Posts and comments may not be deliberately distasteful, edgy, intended to bait drama, directly insulting, or clearly written to evoke shock value.
  12. Posts and comments may not push a specific political agenda. Posts involving any real-life political figure will be removed.
  13. Posts and comments may not simply be jokes, memes, circlejerk or copy-pasta topics. Posts that are funny are allowed, so long as they are also a topic that can effectively be discussed.
  14. Posts and comments that target a group of people (including but not limited to race, sex, gender identity, religion, political affiliation) are considered abuse and will be removed and the poster may be banned.
  15. Comments must add to the conversation. Short comments like "Goku stomps," or a single image as a non-responsive reply will be removed.

Additional Guidelines:

  1. Include detail when posting. Try outlining arenas, special conditions, multiple rounds and specifying the universe/version of characters if you're looking for a good discussion. Again, please see the suggested template above for more details.

  2. Admit when you don't know. No one expects you to be a genius when it comes to every aspect of every character. Always admit it up front if you're unfamiliar with a character.

The penalty for breaking the rules of this sub, contributing to spam, trolling, or purposefully making things more difficult for the mods may include being banned. We issue warnings if we believe the user means well but we are not obligated to do so. You can be banned for a first offense. Report rule breaking and leave rule enforcement to the mods

Remember, the mods are humans, and we realize you're human, too. Be nice and we'll respond in kind. Apologies go a long way if you mess up.

Which Marvel team can achieve World Peace without resorting to morally dubious practices?

In a universe full of Superheroes, Mutants, Aliens, Magical beings, and cosmic higher beings, the people of Earth should find a way to be united. However, every time this kind of "unity" occurs it's usually a dystopia of some form through coercion, mind-control, or reality warping.

World Conquest is not world peace, either.

Victory Conditions: All Humans and residents of Earth must agree to coexist with each other. No wars between nations. No conflicts between religious groups, ethnic groups, powered vs unpowered humans, or other earth-based groups.

Which Superhero team can achieve this:

  1. S.H.I.E.L.D

  2. Fantastic Four (including Franklin Richards)

  3. X-Men

  4. Avengers

What is the weakest nation that could successfully invade Texas?

No help from the rest of America. It's Texas. In addition to the military bases there, the civvies are chock full of guns and cowboys and other Texans armed to the teeth and ready to fight. It would be kinda like Red Dawn, but the entire state is fighting. I would LOVE for North Korea to try to invade Texas.

Composite base joker (dc) vs Nikola “the joker” Jokić (real life/nba)

By composite base joker, I mean joker with all his best feats as a regular (if insane) human, no turning into a big hulking monster like the Arkham games or emperor joker or any of that bs

As for Jokić, it is his current day self, un-injured

No weapons allowed, fight takes place in the denver nuggets stadium, fighters start at the middle of the court

All The Primarchs (Warhammer 40k) vs the Galactic Empire

Details. due to the idea of this randomly popping into my head, The Primarchs are now in the Star Wars universe

The Empire is at it's peak of it's power, same goes for Vader and Palps

Death Star has not been built yet but construction has begun

Takes place in the comic version of Star Wars

The is no rebellion in this universe but i would think the Primarchs would make one

the Primarchs has no knowledge of the star wars universe but are driven to take down the Empire

The goal is not just to kill Palps but also collapse his Empire entirely

Primarchs start with no equipment or armour but will equip and arm themselves with what they can

This is Pre the Heresy Primarchs

The Emperor has sensed a great presence and is aware of their existence but not their location

The starting planet is Tatooine

Can they beat the Empire?

If Jon Jones had the physicality of the Golden Age Superman ( DC Comics) who would be able to beat him 6/10

So if Jon Jones was able to outrun a speeding bullet, more powerful than a runaway locomotive and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound and decided to take over the world who could just about stop him.

Madara Uchiha (Naruto) must convince the majority of humanity to fall under the Infinite Tsukuyomi. How successful is he?

A victorious Madara, having succeeded in the Eye of the Moon plan in his own universe, defeated Team 7 and >!foiled Zetsu’s attempt to betray him!< uses the powers of the Rinne Sharingan to teleport to another dimension… our dimension.

Once there, he plans to once again cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi onto our own moon and trap everyone in the real world in a never-ending, utopian dream, but there’s a catch. In this world, the Infinite Tsukuyomi will only work if a majority of humanity wants to be trapped in it, so Madara must convince a majority of humanity that the Infinite Tsukuyomi is better than the real world.

While I have no doubt that no weapon in this world would be a match for Ten Tails Madara combat wise, convincing humanity by subjugating them by force would make for a boring end to this prompt, so we’ll say that Madara can only use his powers as a show of force to destroy non-inhabited areas, to show individuals his dream world or in self-defense. Killing a large group of people will cause the prompt to fail as there won’t be enough of humanity left to believe in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, so the only ways Madara can convince them is through words and arguments.

With all of these scenarios in mind, can Madara successfully convince a majority of the world that the Infinite Tsukuyomi is a better way to live than our own reality? He loses if he can’t convince a majority of humanity by the next full moon (in one month)

Round 1: Madara is a complete unknown to everyone. The Naruto manga/anime doesn’t exist here, so no one has any idea about who Madara is or the true nature of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Round 2: the Naruto manga/anime does exist, so the world knows or quickly becomes aware of Madara’s identity and power as well as the fact that Infinite Tsukuyomi victims >!turn into White Zetsu.!<

Rounds 3-4: Same as rounds 1-2, but instead of convincing half of the entire world to yield to the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Madara must convince half of each country instead of half of the world in its entirety

Bonus Rounds: Instead of Madara teleporting to the real world, it’s Ten Tails Obito. Is he any more or less successful at convincing the populace than Madara is?

Who would win: Daredevil (MCU) vs. Blood Widow (Blood Widow)

Context:

Breakdown of the combatants:

  • The Blood Widow is a masked serial killer who is quite adept at Acrobatics, is highly athletic, and is skilled in the use of bladed weapons.
  • For this battle, Matt Murdock doesn't have his suit and, in accordance with MCU lore, he is blind, but despite his blindness, his other three senses are enhanced to superhuman levels. He also has an array of other enhanced abilities and is skilled in martial arts. For this fight, Murdock just has his fists

Win conditions:

  • Matt Murdock wins if he subdues the Blood Widow and rehabilitates her.
  • The Blood Widow wins if she kills Daredevil.

50k White Spikes (The Tomorrow War) vs The UK

The UK is prepared and ready for an attack but they don't know from what or where. No nukes or outside/NATO help

25k White Spikes storm the West Coast of Ireland, while 30 minutes later the other 25k start storming Scotland from the North.

Can the UK handle just 50k of these White Spikes? If not how many could they handle attacking equally from two fronts?

Lex Luthor and Doctor Doom have to play the "Quiet Game"

As the title says, two of the biggest narcissists in the multiverse are locked in a small room sitting across from each other playing the quiet game.

Conditions:

  • the first to speak loses
  • the two are made aware of these facts. 1.) If Lex wins, Superman will leave the Earth for one whole year. 2.) If Doom wins, Reed Richards will make a public announcement, sparing no expense, that he is a fraud and owes all of his success to Doom.

Bonus Round: There is one tv in the room that cannot be turned off or down that can only be turned onto either FoxNews or CNN

Bonus, Bonus Round: The indestructible tv is wired up into the ceiling and in it's place is lowered two remotes that control the music. Both remotes are synced to the same device, and they can each change the song and raise or lower the volume. The music cannot be completely muted or turned off.

MegaMan X vs Kos-Mos from xenosaga

An old classic debate from what I've heard. I'm wondering which robot warrior comes out of top. Me and my buds were discussing this so we decided to get outside opinions.

Round 1: Both X and Kos-Mos are in their default forms and standard equipment.

Round2: X is allowed his strongest Armors and boss weapons, Kos-Mos is allowed access to all of her weapon configurations and abilities.

Round 3: Could X talk her down out of a fight(he is a pacifist after all)

Bonus round: Would X do any better against Telos?
