History Characters / DeathBattlePart4

* CompositeCharacter: His characterization and fighting style will take inspirations from his appearances Post-[[CrisisOnInfiniteEarths Crisis]], and appearances in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', ''{{Arrow}}'' and ''InjusticeGodsAmongUs''.

* {{Expy}}: Of Robin Hood, and during the Golden Age, of Batman (his ''{{Arrow}}'' incarnation takes a lot of cues from the Dark Knight).

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Is renown for making shots at impossible distances taking into account moving obstacles, he's been shown to even be a crackshot with only a glance at his target with his head then turned away. He once shot a hacker arrow into a computer's USB port from clear across the room while under stealth!

* AttackReflector: The Mirror Buster lets him reflect energy. [[spoiler:This meant Astro's energy projectiles wasn't much use against Mega Man. After he uses it to reflect Astro's ArmCannon beams back to him early in the fight, Astro appears to forego attacking him directly with his lasers for most of the match afterwards]].

* StickyBomb: The Crash Bomber, a powerful explosive that sticks to walls and enemies. [[spoiler:He successfully uses it in conjunction with the Flash Stopper, sticking the one he fired earlier on Astro's back while time was stopped]].

* DavidVersusGoliath: The Goliath. being twice the size of Knuckles. [[spoiler: But unlike the bible, this Goliath won.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Sure, Megaman lost and was broken into bits, but since his pieces are left remaining and Rush is still in one piece, and Astro Boy shows little interest in continuing to destroy his head, so it's not unlikely that he'll receive some repairs and be back to fight another day.]]

* CombiningMecha: Mega Man can convert Rush, his Robot Dog, into various forms, including armor. [[spoiler:He uses this to try to match Astro Boy's flight, but Astro Boy's mobility totally eclipses his own.]]
* CompositeCharacter: Both the Megaman games and the animated series are shown in his analysis.

* LudicrousGibs: On the [[spoiler:receiving end. His body ends up being completely destroyed by Astro Boy, but his still-functioning head survived.]]

* LogicalWeakness: Extreme heat is one of the few things that could visibly damage his skin since it's made of plastic, such as when he rode a missile into the sun, though he was still functional despite being partially melted. He's developed a fear of his happening to him.

* LudicrousGibs: On [[spoiler:both the giving and receiving end. After Astro Boy's punch and Mega Man's Double Rock Buster attacks collide, his head is knocked off, but he puts it back on whilst Mega Man's body (apart from his still-functioning head) is completely destroyed]].

* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:After reducing Mega Man to just a head, Astro Boy briefly plays Hackey Sack with it before giving it back to Rush.]]

* SuperStrength: The Super Arm from ''VideoGame/MegaMan1'' allows Mega Man to lift and throw objects he can't under normal circumstances and even without it, he's shown to still be strong enough to lift and support the roof of the collapsing Wily Castle 5 as seen at the end of ''VideoGame/MegaMan5''. [[spoiler:He can't compete with Astro Boy who has lifted even heavier objects with far less effort]].

-->'''Astro Boy:''' ''"I was made ready."''

* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Literally. The fight ends with Mega Man reduced to a head; while he's still alive, he's not in any condition to fight further. Astro Boy decides enough is enough, celebrates his win by playing around with Rock's head, petting Rush and sending him off to get Rock repaired by Dr. Light. Astro Boy may have just given the show its most [[HeartwarmingMoments/DeathBattle heartwarming moment]] as of yet.]]

* CompositeCharacter: His ''Death Battle'' incarnation will look at his more modern appearances in comics as well as other media such as ''WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', [[Film/TheAvengers the live-action Avengers films]], and ''MarvelVsCapcom3''.

* TogetherInDeath: [[Indirectly with Cloud, thanks to their respective losses to Yang and Link.]]

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Is renown for making shots at impossible distances taking into account moving obstacles, he's been shown to even be a crackshot with only a glance at his target with his head then turned away.

* {{Expy}}: Of Robin Hood, and during the Golden Age, of Batman.

* {{Badass}}: She takes on a whole nightclub run by a mafia-style organization, and wins. [[spoiler:Oh, and she beats Tifa]].

* BloodKnight: Lives for fighting. In fact, her dream is to travel the world and get into crazy adventures, [[AntiHero and if she helps people on the way, it's a plus]]. In the introduction to the fight, she trashes an unfortunate doorman whose only crime was stopping her at the door and asking her for ID [[note]]Being 17 years old, she ''is'' underage[[/note]]. She also taunts Tifa during the fight with "Having fun? I sure am!"

* CoolShades: Has a decent pair of aviators [[spoiler:and puts them on as she's leaving the battle]].
* CriticalStatusBuff: Her Semblance works on this logic: the more physical damage she takes, the stronger she becomes. [[spoiler:The fact that Tifa's main method of attack is up close and personal like her means Yang had no problem getting a power boost]].

* HotBlooded: For all her impressive strength and speed, she has a ''fiery'' temper, and when she loses it, she stops thinking straight. This cost her ''very'' dearly on one occasion. [[spoiler:It doesn't in this battle.]]

* MeaningfulName: Her name means "Little Sun Dragon", and while her attacks aren't solar-powered, her gold-coloured appearance and fire-based motifs make her look the part.

* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:She finishes Tifa by grabbing her head from opposite sides and firing Ember Celica, breaking her neck with the recoil]].

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:On the receiving end thanks to Tifa, but she turns it around thanks to her [[CriticalStatusBuff Semblance]] and deals out her own before [[NeckSnap snapping her neck]].]]

* SuperStrength: Yang has demonstrated a number of feats of strength throughout the show's run. One of the more impressive ones was shattering a {{Mini Mecha}}'s arm with a single punch.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: "I Burn" plays near the end when Yang rallies against Tifa [[spoiler:and wins.]]
* UnexpectedCharacter: Granted, ''RWBY is'' a popular series, but it's also a web series, which ''Death Battle'' has never used before.

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Yang's fighting style isn't particularly advanced by any means, but it certainly gets the job done.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Premium Heart is her ultimate weapon, and it increases her already-freakish strength up to a maximum of 7.6x her normal strength, as she builds up Limit energy over the course of a fight. However, there's a downside: when she actually busts out a LimitBreak, they reset and need more time to build back up. [[spoiler:This latter point is given as one of the reasons why she loses out to Yang, as Yang's Semblance comes from her SoulPower and cannot be disabled in the same way and coupled with Yang's MadeOfIron tendencies, Tifa isn't able to kill Yang even with a successful LimitBreak, in the end leaving her at a distinct disadvantage.]]

* MegatonPunch: Her final {{Limit Break}}, Final Heaven, hits the opponent so hard it creates a mushroom cloud.
* MementoMacGuffin: The ribbon she wears on her arm is in memory of her friend and rival Aerith Gainsborough, but also serves a practical function as it prevents the wearer from being afflicted with status ailments.

* NeckSnap: [[spoiler: A victim of one by Yang's gun recoil.]]
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler: Yang doesn't directly cause it, but the results screen show Tifa's body beginning to fade into the Lifestream.]]

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Doesn't care for Yang's quips during the fight, and focuses for the most part on simply fighting her-

-->"I'm going to blow you out of the water!"

* TaughtByExperience: It's noted that Tifa has an experience and skill advantage over Yang, as she is in her twenties and a seasoned adventurer, while Yang is in her teens and still a rookie. [[spoiler:It doesn't save her]].

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Has copied several weapons of this type- the most prominent of them is the Metal Blade ([[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Metal Man]]), but there have been others, such as the Triple Blade ([[VideoGame/MegaMan10 Blade Man]]) and Slash Claw ([[VideoGame/MegaMan7 Slash Man]]). [[spoiler: The sharpness of the Metal Blade costs him dearly when Astro Boy manages to throw one back at him.]]

* {{Badass}}: He's taken on armies of robots in his home series, and saved the world at least ten times. [[spoiler: But impressive as his feats are, they're next to nothing compared to Astro Boy's.]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Sure, Megaman lost, but since his pieces are left remaining and Rush is still in one piece, it's not unlikely that he'll receive some repairs.]]

* CombiningMecha: Mega Man can convert Rush, his Robot Dog, into various forms, including armor. [[spoiler: He uses this to try to match Astro Boy's flight, but Astro Boy's mobility totally eclipses his own.]]

* DesperationAttack: Mega Man can turn both arms into Mega Busters, but this can cause him to overheat, quite possibly fatally. [[spoiler: He does this when Astro Boy moves in the kill, but Astro Boy can easily tank it, and the resulting explosion at close-range blows his body apart.]]

* FrickinLaserBeams: Has some, like the Gemini Laser ([[VideoGame/MegaMan3 Gemini Man]]) and Laser Trident ([[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Splash Woman]]). [[spoiler: However, these don't hold a candle to Astro Boy's finger laser.]]

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Astro Boy catches one of his Metal Blades and a Crash Bomber, throwing both back at him with so much force that they pin Mega Man to the wall, forcing him to use his Time Stopper to get out of that particular jam.]]

* JackOfAllTrades: Thanks to his battles over the years, Megaman's got a weapon for nearly any situation possible. [[spoiler:[[MasterOfNone This could also be seen as his downfall]], since Astro Boy's status as a FlyingBrick cinches victory despite his weaker ranged weapons.]]

* MightyGlacier: With his high durability and stronger weaponry at the cost of movement speed, he can be considered this in comparison to the much faster and lighter Astro Boy. [[spoiler: While he could keep Astro Boy at range, Astro Boy's physical strength is much higher and he's far more durable.]]
* MultiRangedMaster: Over the years, he's acquired enough types of weapons that he could potentially cover any range he likes with the right setup- including both long and close-range, as explained below.

* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:It's all that's left when Astro Boy is finished with him- although Astro does give it back to Rush, sending him off to get Mega Man repaired afterward.]]

* VancianMagic: Not actual magic per se, but all of these additional powers have a limit before he needs an additional top-up of Weapon Energy. [[spoiler: Meaning that if none of his weaponry could hit Astro Boy, it would all be useless.]]

* AllLovingHero: Owing to his goals of peace between both humans and robots, he can be described as a tin-plated Martin Luther King Jr. [[spoiler: This extends even to the epilogue- where after doing what was necessary to incapacitate Mega Man and take the win, he spares his opponent's still-functioning head and returns it to Rush so that he can be repaired afterward]].

* DubNameChange: The Mighty Atom -> Astro Boy.

* LightningBruiser: He can fly quickly, has an extremely durable skin, and has strength equivalent to 100,000 (and after Pluto, 1,000,000) Horsepower. [[spoiler: Every single one of these feats eclipses anything Mega Man has ever encountered or done]].
* LogicalWeakness: Extreme heat is one of the few things that could visibly damage his skin since it's made of plastic, such as when he rode a missile into the sun, though he was still functional despite being partially melted.
* LosingYourHead: [[spoiler: Astro's head falls off after the final collision between the two, but he quickly puts it back on]].
* LudicrousGibs: On [[spoiler: both the giving and receiving end. After Astro Boy's punch and Mega Man's Double Rock Buster attacks collide, his head is knocked off, but he puts it back on whilst Mega Man's body (Apart from his still-functioning head.) is completely destroyed]].

* SuperSpeed: [[spoiler: The post-battle analysis estimates Astro's speed in the vicinity of 45 ''million'' miles per hour, putting him on borderline ''Superman'' levels and thus outclassing Mega Man.]]

%%* ArcherArchetype:

* PlayingWithFire: Quite a lot of them actually- including the Atomic Fire ([[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Heat Man]]), Pharaoh Shot ([[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Pharaoh Man]]), Flame Blast ([[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Flame Man]]), Flame Sword ([[VideoGame/MegaMan8 Sword Man]]) and Magma Bazooka ([[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Magma Man]]). The Atomic Fire in particular has the potential to reach temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun when fully charged. [[spoiler:This made it one of the few weapons to do noticeable damage to Astro, temporarily taking him down. Astro made sure not to let him fire off a fully charged shot afterwards]].

* PlayingWithFire: Quite a lot of them actually- including the Atomic Fire ([[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Heat Man]]), Pharaoh Shot ([[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Pharaoh Man]]), Flame Blast ([[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Flame Man]]), Flame Sword ([[VideoGame/MegaMan8 Sword Man]]) and Magma Bazooka ([[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Magma Man]]).

* AdaptiveAbility: He can adapt to face his foes accordingly and Death Battle rules mean his pacifistic nature does not limit it in this case. However, the ability is incredibly slow and even without the pacifist nature, Astro Boy is naive, reminding us that he's based on a Human Child.

* TheHeart: Is often depicted as the moral compass of the Justice League, Batman himself claiming Green Arrow is crucial to the team to keep them from crossing the line between heroes and overlords.

* BadassNormal: He, along with Black Widow, are the only regular members of The Avengers who don't have any actual superpowers.

%%* BadassNormal

* CoolHat: His trademark Robin Hood-style cap.

%%* BadassNormal

* FragileSpeedster: Although generally a LightningBruiser and his skin is extremely durable, his joints are another matter and a strong enough force could break him apart. In the actual battle, [[spoiler:Mega Man's double Charged Buster shot was able to knock Astro's off his shoulders, but since Astro could still function without it, he just re-attached it]].

* FragileSpeedster: Although generally a LightningBruiser and his skin is extremely durable, his joints are another matter and a strong enough force could break him apart. In the actual battle, [[spoiler:Mega Man's double Charged Buster shot was shown to be strong enough to do this, but since Astro could still function after losing his appendages, he just re-attached himself]].

* FragileSpeedster: Although generally seen as a LightningBruiser, he has sometimes been depicted as this as well- having had his body destroyed by standard explosions and lasers, amongst other things, in certain adaptations. [[spoiler:This is not one of those adaptations.]]

* LightningBruiser: He can fly quickly, can resist physical attacks, and has strength equivalent to 100,000 Horsepower. [[spoiler: Every single one of these feats eclipses anything Mega Man has ever encountered or done]].
* LogicalWeakness: Despite his power, his weapons short circuit against electrical attacks even after a very long run, making Mega Man's Electric Attacks his greatest obstacle to overcome. [[spoiler:Even if Mega Man ''did'' think to use them (they're not in the battle) Astro could have dodged them easily.]]

* MartialPacifist: Because of his pacifistic nature, Astro Boy doesn't have nearly as much combat experience as Mega Man, despite of his AdaptiveAbility. [[spoiler:However, lack of experience means very little when you're ''exponentially'' much stronger, tougher, and faster than your opponent, as Astro Boy proves]].

* CompositeCharacter: Averted, he's only based on the main Mega Man series and no feats and abilities based on other Mega Man games are used.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Can complement his already-high defence with various shield-type weapons he's used- although the most famous examples would have to be the Leaf Shield ([[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Wood Man]]), Skull Barrier ([[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Skull Man]]) and Jewel Satellite ([[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Jewel Man]]).

* MadeOfIron: A flexible Ceratanium Alloy invented by Doctor Light actually, but still. Along with all the attacks from the various Robot Masters he's defeated over the years, he's tough enough to survive [[VideoGame/MegaManV atmospheric re-entry]], [[VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman entire]] [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 fortresses]] exploding and collapsing on top of him without any lasting injury, as well as trading blows with juggernauts like the [[PsychoRangers Mega Man Killers]], [[LostSuperweapon Sunstar]] and [[AllYourPowersCombined Ra Thor]]. [[spoiler: Although impressive, none of his feats really hold a candle to Astro Boy, who has bathed in the sun with minimal wear and tear.]]

* SuperStrength: The Super Arm from ''VideoGame/MegaMan1'' allows Mega Man to lift and throw objects he can't under normal circumstances- even without it however, he's shown to still be strong enough to lift and support the roof of the collapsing Wily Castle 5 as seen at the end of ''VideoGame/MegaMan5''. [[spoiler:He can't compete with Astro Boy; however, who has lifted even heavier objects with far less effort]].

* AdaptiveAbility: He can adapt to face his foes accordingly... though his pacifistic nature generally limits it. Of course, that's thrown out the window in Death Battles. However, the ability is incredibly slow and even without the pacifist nature, Astro Boy is naive, reminding us he's based on a Human Child still.

* CombatPragmatist: As said by Wiz "his rear end retaliation is a handy surprise attack". In words of Boomstick, "No one expects the butt gun. Seriously, why would they?"

* FragileSpeedster: Although generally seen as a LightningBruiser, he has sometimes been depicted as this as well- having had his body destroyed by standard explosions and lasers, amongst other things, in certain adaptations. [[spoiler:[[StoryBreakerPower This is not one of those adaptations]].]]

* LogicalWeakness: Despite his power, his weapons short circuit against electrical attacks even after a very long run, making Mega Man's Electric Attacks his greatest obstacle to overcome. [[spoiler:Even if Mega Man ''did'' think to use them (Death Battle flat-out doesn't bring them up) Astro could have dodged them easily.]]

* MartialPacifist: Deconstructed when it's thrown out in Death Battle. Because of his pacifistic nature, Astro Boy doesn't have nearly as much combat experience as Mega Man, despite of his AdaptiveAbility. [[spoiler:However, lack of experience means very little when you're literally and ''exponentially'' just that much stronger, tougher, and faster than your opponent, as Astro Boy proves]].

* ReplacementGoldfish: Dr. Umatarō Tenma created him in the image of his deceased son, Tobio. [[UnbuiltTrope It didn't work out]].

* SuperSpeed: Understatement of the century. [[spoiler: The post-battle analysis estimates Astro's speed in the vicinity of 45 ''million'' miles per hour, putting him on borderline ''Superman'' levels and outclassing Mega Man in every conceivable way.]]

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Due to the fact his body was created from a special super plastic, Astro Boy has a fear of being melted by extreme heat, which would obviously include Mega Man's vast arsenal of [[PlayingWithFire fire-based weapons]]. [[spoiler:Turns out to be a fruitless fear, as Astro Boy has been shown capable of being dipped ''into the sun'' without any damage or melting, so tanking Mega Man's Atomic Fire was no big deal.]]
