DEATH BATTLE

Sounds to me like Juggernaut would be almost unkillable, even by a man like Kenshiro.

...Juggernaut has military training??

Magic and psychic attacks are his only weaknesses, and the only times he's been subdued by force have been to him getting knocked out or due to Cyttorak depowering him. Most often heroes have had to settle for restraining him somehow, like Spider-Man sinking him in a pit of fresh concrete... which he later tunnelled out of. There's also the fact that his "almost impossible to stop" clause applies to him too. All Kenshiro has to do is dodge - which given his speed he's more than capable of doing - and Cain may very well have to run around the circumference of the earth to get back to him.

He served in the US army alongside Charles Xavier during the Korean War. Given Marvel's sliding timeline it's probably been retconned to the Vietnam war or the Gulf War or something.

Isn't the only thing that's able to stop Juggernaut Juggernaut himself?

No, he's been stopped by sufficiently strong people before, like Hulk & Thor.

Also, I remember Rogue giving him a run for his money (though he was able to resist her power sapping touch at first). I don't remember who won that fight.

On another note, this idea literally just occurred to me, but what about Ron Stoppable vs. Sokka?

Uh... Sokka has a black sword forged from Thunderbolt Iron. Ron has a naked mole rat named Rufus who he wouldn't be able to bring into battle in the first place due to the "no outside help" clause.

Sokka can't bend.

Ron on the other hand has actual powers from his Mystical Monkey Kung-Fu. He was powerful enough to defeat the Final Bosses of his show single-handedly. Sokka wouldn't have a chance.

I... did not know that until now. Looking it up, Ron is also a wielder of the Lotus Blade, which has actual mystical properties. So... unless Ron's bumbling leaves him open, Sokka's sunk.

You know, now that I think about it, the only edge Sokka has over Ron is his amazing capacity to plan/ strategize, and since both DB combatants go into the fight blind, that won't really help him here.

Well, Sokka's also been known to come up with plans on the fly, when need be.

Monkey Kung Fu is probably still a fight winner, just pointing tuff out.

RWBY vs Borderlands?

Not that anyone's heard of either...

Which Borderlands? You linked to a disambig page.

It's a Video Game.

That's the only works page.

The others are trivia and YMMV and character and stuff like that.

Borderlands 2.

Vault Hunters Axton, Maya, Salvadore, and Zer0

vs

Team RWBY

I'd say the vault hunters. RWBY won't go down easy but the vault hunters regularly challenge the biggest and baddest game of Pandora, where the most dangerous are just as if not more of a threat than RWBY are.

I can't decide who would be the best opponent for Lightning. I'm torn between either Bayonetta or Raiden.

Raiden.

Bayo would be way too OP for Light.

Quick question. If they were ever to use Darth Vader in a Death Battle, which version of him would they use? I mean, the most recognizable version would obviously be the original man-in-a-black-tin-can from the original trilogy. But Vader in his prime would arguably be as Anakin from before he became a quadruple amputee. Well, unless he pulls off feats in the Extended Universe or something that he couldn't do before his duel with Obi-Wan.

Basically, would they use the more recognizable, more experienced Vader, or the possibly more powerful, more reckless Anakin?

They'd probably use the more recognizeable version with feats from the Expanded Universe, like they did with Luke Skywalker.

Also, because the Star Wars fanbase is, to my knowledge, a fickle bitch, they'd probably go with Vader, because he's the version that wasn't played by Hayden Christenssen and didn't really have any emotions or depth. He was far more imposing, less crazy, and more calculating than Anakin.

While Anakin would be more powerful, there's a larger chance you'd want to see Vader versus somebody than Anakin versus somebody.

All of this is to say: they usually go with the more renown, iconic figure.

... who would make a good opponent for Vader?

How About Darth Revan?

The Black Knight, maybe?
