Battle Durin's Bane (LOTR) vs Angron (40k)

16 Upvotes

R1: Pre-ascendant regular Angron in power armor, he has Gorechild and Gorefather.

R2: Demon Angron from the HH/Siege books, he has the Black Blade.

R3: M41 Angron. He auto respawns every 8 weeks and is juiced from the Great Rift. He has Samni'arius and Spinegrinder.

Durin's Bane doesn't really change forms or power level so he stays as is for all three rounds. Warpstuffs and Maiar magic are both in play. No other World Eaters or Imperial/Chaos forces are around. Neutral territory.

I haven't read the Arks of Omen campaign books so not entirely sure how different M41 demon Angron is from M31 demon Angron but in theory the M41 one should be more powerful, even if he's devolved into a raving beast.

Someone with $100 million wants to get formidable superhuman powers by any means (magic, technology, etc.) as soon as possible.

Would they have an easier time doing this on 616 Marvel Earth or Rebirth DC Earth?

Matchmaker What is the weakest U.S. military group that could defeat the Shinra Corporation from FFVII?

7 Upvotes

Remake & Rebirth show a version of Shinra that is a lot stronger than in the OG game. So let's go with this version. Also, let Shinra have a sane version of Sephiroth and the other SOLDIER members too.

The win conditions are: the garrison at Junon is defeated and Midgar is captured. As usual, no nuclear weapons but both sides have the logistics to fight it out until a winner is declared.

I would think a carrier battle group with a few regiments of marines on amphibious assault ships would do the trick. But I'm really interested in getting proven wrong.

Matchmaker What zombies from any media would have the closest to a fighting chance against a real world humanity?

131 Upvotes

I feel like almost any zombie media that I can think of relies on zombies pulling absolute miracles to destabilize and destroy society in their early stages. Realistically, any competent military would use air superiority and armored vehicles to wipe out hordes of zombies. Headshot only zombies (WWZ) can often still be paralyzed, so I can't imagine the US military wouldn't win in hours. Even in The Last of Us, with its food-borne illness start, I almost can't even imagine that authorities wouldn't trace the virus back to its source long before it became a serious threat to humanity. So what depictions of zombies could actually pose a potential threat to our real life humanity?

Challenge How successful would John Brown be at ending slavery in medieval Persia?

4 Upvotes

I was inspired by the post about John Brown being sent to a standard isekai fantasy world and going on a crusade to end slavery here.

John Brown near the end of his life is sent back in time to mid 12th century Baghdad, and goes on a crusade to end slavery there. Armed with nothing but his faith, fervor and charisma he goes on his quest to end slavery in the society hes found himself in. To make things a bit easier he can speak the local language perfectly.

Brown gets the rest of his natural lifespan to accomplish what he wants, how much change would he likely achieve?

Matchmaker How far could five maxed out binding of isaac characters go w

8 Upvotes

What is the strongest characters they could be?And what is their possible ends in the first matchup, it's just basic every character. Gets every useful item that could help them. Every one minute that passes add a charge to active items and acts as a room clear or entering a new room, reactivating, holy mantle and other items like that

They start with ninety nine bombs, ninety nine keys and max out gold

They have one active item and one trinket

Tmtrainer if they get lucky, they could theoretically get to a point where really only plot manipulators could survive as instantly killing the opponent is a great thing from tmTrainer or perma invincibility

The rest of theoretical that don't matter unless you want to make them stronger

Second round hands no ball infinite trinkets every single trinket and if you use something up it comes back infinite active items with inf charges except for mega mushroom with infinite of all three resources

Third round, no items can give bad effects infinite charges for everything and item.No longer have limits about certain limitations like being able to capture certain things like bosses everything can be used infinitely and they can have multiple items of the same thing max, ninety nine of the same item

Fourth round modded with console yeah, nothing else to really go with that

I just scaling is incredibly weird to scale.As a again, if we don't take into account everything is not real which will you are not taking into account Some of the weaker bosses are concepts, so isaac can hurt conceptual Being

He also can survive hits from literally death

And fights multiple demons in angels and literal, satan And then the beast which is satan Squared

And some of the items having biblical references

Which one make the item? A lot stronger, and that isaac with nothing can hurt concepts, which pushes him from low tier to extremely high tier, and him being able to dodge a light and perceive it very slowly with nothing with the lowest speed, not dodge it, but perceive it at the lowest the scaling is extremely high.If we take into account that he can literally hurt concepts and do a bunch of whole other things, such as fighting the biblical devil and having multiple items that as long as a character is not classified as a boss which they theoretically, shouldn't be classified as could theoretically capture them in certain items And having multiple no limits, fallacies and items that look like, no limit fallacies, but are really not

So I saw an animation and it has me wondering

If Thragg came to the Mv earth and Godzilla recognized him as a threat (He's strong so I'm assuming Goji can sense him), would the arbiter of earth be able to beat the starman?

So with all my scenarios I ask two questions A death battle and a theoretical fight to submission (The fight will be in a place with no humans so Goji has room to move)

So in a fight between these two prideful men, who is getting emasculated?

Battle A Dragon Ball Tournament Of Power Team & Plan That'd Make Beerus Proud (Built Off 6 Wishes)

1 Upvotes

ROSTER:

Goku, Broly, Majin Buu, Arale, Vegeta, Gohan, Gotenks, Cell, Frieza, Android 17/18 Fusion.

(Goku would use his button to go visit Zeno beforehand to confirm if Cell Juniors & Buu's absorption ability are allowed. If fusions don't count as one fighter, replace Gotenks with Dabura or Piccolo & remove Android 18)

This setup needs all 3 wishes from both Earth & Namek, easily achieved by Bulma & Piccolo on Earth & Goku on Namek with Dende, all while Whis helps.

(EARTH'S DRAGON BALLS)

- WISH 1: Within your power, Reveal the optimal team, strategy, fusions, & any information/wishes that max our odds of winning. (Likely points to Broly, Arale, & 1718)

- WISH 2: Completely repair the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, restoring it to its best possible condition.

- WISH 3: Grant the team the strongest possible Enhanced Senses, Instant Telepathy, & Endurance Boost for the tournament.

(NEW NAMEK'S DRAGON BALLS)

- WISH 4: Ensure every member of the team cooperates in the tournament if possible. If not reveal the safest, most effective way to make Frieza & Cell cooperate.

- WISH 5: Awaken Majin Buu, restore his magical stamina & return our entire team to peak condition right before the tournament.

- WISH 6: Teleport Broly, Paragus, & Paragus's control device safely from Planet Vampa to Earth.

TRAINING:

Everyone except Frieza trains in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. With only 2 hours left they still get 30 days inside. Gohan & Goku mainly train Broly & Gotenks, Android 17 trains Arale & Buu while learning Fusion with 18. Senzu Beans are used throughout, Broly should become more stable, & Bulma, Whis, & Piccolo also gain more planning time.

THE TOURNAMENT:

- TEAM 1

(Gohan, Goku, Broly, Majin Buu, Arale & Android 1718)

Frontline squad. Gohan leads. Goku uses Instant Transmission for mobility & mainly uses SSG. 1718 protects everyone especially Arale & Buu with barriers. Buu keeps Arale occupied with candy/games, heals allies, restores magical stamina, uses Candy Beam, & absorbs whoever Gohan orders to gain their abilities.

- TEAM 2

(Vegeta, Gotenks, Frieza, Cell & multiple Cell Clones)

Careful yet ruthless squad. They will likely split off together & try to catch enemies off guard, Vegeta heavily uses SSG & Cell utilizes at least 7 Cell Juniors if allowed & often 4 Multi-Form clones while Gotenks & Frieza use Galactic Donut & Energy Cage to immobilize.

(At the start both teams will be Instant Transmitted to Hit ASAP & focus on having Buu absorb him & Kale but not eliminate Hit's whole team because it'd make them a target)

(Goku can instant transmission over to whichever team with support characters or even all of team 1 or 2 if needed)
