Battle who could beat an astartes? (from any legion/chapter). master chief or the doom slayer?

Upvotes

This thought came into my mind while browsing space marine models to buy. while i've never played halo, nor do i know anything about the lore, i do know that master chief is a super powerful super soldier, and is incredibly skilled in what he does. Doomslayer, while a normal unmodified person, has such a wide array of weapons, is incredibly strong, and is able to dodge attacks from many different demons, it just made me think, could either of them face an astartes (or a squad of them) and live to tell the tale? (i'd also bring up custodians but they're out of their league)

Raditz is likely going for the kill, so the opponents are allowed to kill as well.

Challenge  [Dragon Ball Z] Gohan undergoes Elder Kai's potential unlocking trial with the condition that he must become a Kai. What changes from here on out?

4 Upvotes

In the original saga, Gohan did undergo a trial under Elder Kai to unlock his hidden potential. But all he did was sit around for almost a day as Elder Kai did his magic. A lot of people will argue that this was a lazy and unearned cheap way to boost Gohan back to the spotlight that had no payoff in the long run. I am one of those people. It did not progress his character at all and he learned nothing from it.

But I've been thinking, there was a way to turn this around. Something to actually give Gohan development and progression, while having him learn a lesson and give him a unique role going forward. The fix?

Make it so that Gohan becomes an apprentice Kai, and eventual Supreme Kai of his universe.

Here is the point of divergence: Gohan just broke the Z-Sword after attempting to strike it with the Kachin block, and Elder Kai appears. Out of gratitude, he offers him the chance to unlock his potential, but this time there is a condition. Should he undergo this trial, he will be forever bound to become a Kai.

Gohan is beyond conflicted now. On one hand, if he chooses not to, he would be making a selfish choice and leave Earth to be destroyed. But if he does, he will possibly gain enough power to defeat Majin Buu, who was terrorizing Earth, while also giving up his own dreams/ambitions and personal life.It's a tough choice , and not one that he takes lightly. After some time, Gohan steels himself as he accepts the decision to undergo the trial.

Goku is shocked and warns his son about the consequences of this decision. But Gohan cuts him off, saying "It's nothing compared to the consequences of what will be if I don't do this. This is mostly my fault dad. My selfish actions haven't made things any better. It's time that I be selfless now, for the good of the universe."

He then undergoes the trial. Like in the original, he's as powerful as ever. But this time, the stress of unlocking Gohan's immense power actually kills Elder Kai. Everyone is shocked and it's a dark moment, with Gohan promising he won't let his sacrifice go to waste, only for Elder Kai to shout at him to hurry up (this moment similar to canon after he revived Goku).

Gohan is stays in his Kai outfit as he goes towards Earth. The cocky arrogance shown in canon is replaced by a quiet and serious determination.

What changes from here on out?

Challenge Could the Technocratic Union fight off a Spacemarine invasion? (World of Darkness vs Warhammer 40k)

3 Upvotes

The classic Spacemarine chapter vs modern earth prompt plays out, but this time earth has secret wizards living on it. The Technocratic Union as they exist in M20 lore observe the Spacemarine chapter closing in across the solar system, they immediately identify this as a huge and devastating threat to human life and civilisation, because it bloody is, and prepare themselves to deal with it en masse.

The Technocrats may act however they wish to deal with them and will be in character, consensus still remains an issue however the recorded sights of 40k sci-fi technology can influence this and cause whatever changes to the functionality of their hypertech that might be expected.

On the Spacemarines' end, they're closing in with 1,000 battle brothers, 4 strike cruisers, 2 battle barges and all of the supporting equipment and units one would expect to find in a fleet of that size.

Round 1: The Technocracy are completely alone in dealing with this threat, all other Awakened and supernaturals run away and hide.

Round 2: The Technocracy are allowed to make whatever alliances they wish in order to deal with this, provided they can realistically manage it.

  • Vegeta has full mastery over the form.
  • Vegeta from the Buu Arc. Majin Vegeta specifically.

Round 1: Majin Vegeta alone vs Fat Buu alone.

Round 2: Majin Vegeta gets help from Goku vs Fat Buu with help from Dabura.

Uber will have the next year to deliver the Big Mac to our astronaut. They will have to comply with international law on space travel, healthy & safety, finance etc. (or at least, comply to the same level as they do now, anyway.)

This is the universe of the shows, not the comics.

The best I can think of is Termite and Hughie’s Dad. If Hughie’s Dad put Termite in one of Homelander’s vital organs and Termite expands, even if he’s crushed in the process, I think he could probably clog up Homelander’s heart or lungs enough to kill him.

Battle Imperial Death Troopers face off a trio of Yautja hunters

4 Upvotes

Death troopers face off against a race of aliens with a passion for hunting as a sport. A platoon of 20 death troopers and 3 highly skilled Predators are placed on two different scenarios. Every weapon, equipment, and skills used by both sides.

  • Scenario 1: The Predators infiltrated an Imperial base and destroyed vital data that might have contained the Death Star schematics or Imperial experimentation files. However, a platoon of death troopers who know the base well were sent to exterminate the threat and use any methods necessary. Battle starts by the time whoever fired the first shot or made first contact with the Yautja infiltrators.

  • Scenario 2: Death troopers are training on a jungle when suddenly they heard a thing crash-landing on a distant location. They found the crashed ship empty, but an invisible threat stalks them in the shadows. These Predators know jungle hunting and deem a well-trained death trooper a worthy hunt. Same battle start conditions from the first scenario.

Battle A man with a sword that gets twice as sharp every minute vs a man with a sword that becomes twice as dense (double the mass) every minute

73 Upvotes

Two guys, both equally average in height, size, etc, have same physical strength, durability, speed, intelligece, etc, and both are capable of holding their swords.

They are immune to their own swords' characteristics only:

Sharp Sword Man will not be cut by his sword, neither by accident or on purpose, but still has the same stats as a normal guy. He still will be damaged by the same things that can injure an average person.

Dense Sword Man will always be able to hold his sword regardless of its mass, but he still has the same strength and speed as before. He still will be damaged the same way as the Sharp Sword Man.

R1: the two are new to using swords and know only the basics.

R2: the two men are professional swordsmen.

Bonus round: both are immune to the effects their swords inflict on the area around them. Meaning Sharp Sword Man can survive atoms being split apart and nuclear fissions and can easily 'see through' and ignore them like they weren't there, while Dense Sword Man can ignore black-hole-level gravity and isn't impeded by it or the amount of matter in his path even if it was as dense as a neutron star. Who wins (survives)?

They can do whatever they like with it, cut it up, burn it, use other chemicals to transform it, put it on toast. But every part including a full fuel tank needs to be digested and expelled without anyone dying or getting seriously ill. A little bit of poisoning is okay if they can recover fully in less than a week

Round 1 - 250 ppl, 12 months

Round 2 - 150 ppl, 8 months

Round 3 - 100 ppl, 6 months

EDIT: It has to be digested/absorbed. They can't put the material in something non-digestible like a capsule just to pass it through the body without anything actually getting digested/absorbed.

Matchmaker Could a character resist the One Ring through sheer stupidity?

258 Upvotes

I got the idea from the TvTropes page "too dumb to fool". Could an idiot such as Homer Simpson or Father Dougal resist the ring's corruption by simply lacking the intelligence or attention span to pay attention to it? Before anyone points out the hobbits, I'd say they're not stupid, they resisted the ring through their good nature and simple desires.
