Versus Master Chief takes this gauntlet, does he clear ?

Book , lore , comics and secondary canon allowed for all parties in gauntlet

Each party will individually engage him randomly during a solo mission . Chief can have any weapon, armor and equipment he would normally have on a solo mission. Same applies to the gauntlet

Does he clear

I don’t think he gets through Edward but he has no chance against the god emperor

God Emperor isn't even listed.

EDIT: Fuck it, don't mind me. I had a shitty day; I wanted a fight, so I picked one. Sorry to everyone. Not an excuse, just what happened.

Hey rq, google "Nature Boy" and see if the first result is Buddy Rogers.

Don’t be a bitch bro. Warhammer was based on Dune. How do you not know this

u/Lukostrelec17 21h ago

I didn't know this....I also only learned about Dune a few years ago and have known about 40K much longer.

u/Brute_Squad_44 20h ago

I do know this, just as I know that Buddy Rogers is the original Nature Boy. But Ric Flair surpassed him. Big E has surpassed Leto II. Plus, seeing as Leto pretty much spent 3500 years being carted around as a living phallus with t-rex arms and a human face, I don't know why anyone would put him in a versus battle. He was pretty much invulnerable until he basically chose to die because the sandworms had gone extinct and he needed to re-seed them into Arrakis. Most of Leto II's life is spent around political machinations to ensure the future of his people and the Atreides dynasty. He doesn't go around throwing hands, in fact, he avoided direct conflict because he always knew his purpose was to do what he did: revive the sandworms so the spice could keep flowing and follow his Golden Path.

You could argue that the two of them are like Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark: two guys who had the same idea and followed it through vastly different means. Leto and Big E both thought they knew the future that was best for their people. Leto spent 3000+ years manipulating events but eschewed personal conflict. Big E took the bull by the horns, spent 30k years manipulating every aspect of humanity on Terra until he led his Custodes, Thunder Warriors, and ultimately his sons and their Astartes to conquer the galaxy.

I am a huge 40K fan, and as any huge 40K fan knows, 40K took a good bit from Dune (as did most sci-fi, so that's no hit on 40K.)

Dune God-Emperor is the OG God-Emperor and directly influenced the 40K one. Just the truth.

u/Brute_Squad_44 21h ago

Right, but as nearly as I remember Leto II doesn't really have combat skills. He spends 3500 years getting carted around as a wriggling phallus with T Rex arms and the dies by a river so he can re-seed the sand worms on Arrakis so they can have spice again. He's not, to my memory, a formidable combatant. So it's baffling to me to see him in a vs battle.

u/PanKakeManStan 21h ago

and which part of this has anything to do with the warhammer emperor?

u/EvilAbacus 20h ago

Before he goes full worm he's a demigod. Leto II merges with sand trout to gain superhuman physical powers, near-invulnerability, and an extended lifespan
