DEATH BATTLE

Isn't the Flash the fastest character in DC comics except for Superman and the other Kryptonians? The battle would be over as soon as it began.

Flash is, in fact, hilariously faster than Superman.

I rest my case. The battle would be over so quickly we wouldn't be able to see it.

Yeah, Flash can curb stomp most things that can't move at his own speed.

Man, I really should have stayed out of this Vader vs. thing. I just don't really care.

Heh. A lot of us here do tend to take these things a little too seriously, don't we?

You know what might be interesting (though not for any Vadet matchup) a superhero vs. a shapeshifter. For the purpose of death battle the superhero's Thou Shall Not Kill is ignore but I'd doubt they'd harm a bunch of innocents just to get one villain.

Wouldn't the bunch of innocents count as outside help, though?

It might be considered a part of the environment if the fight takes place in a city.

Considering they just did Godzilla... who would make a good opponent for King Ghidorah?

Deathwing.

How big is Deathwing? Heisei Ghidorah is 150 meters tall, and Showa Ghidorah was introduced as a world-destroying Animalistic Abomination.

This◊ is an estimation based on World Of Warcraft sprites. I don't think there are any canon source for his exact size.

If Deathwing still has his old powers, then he can use the entire planet to fight something like Ghidorah.

Only 25.6 meters tall? Hah! Ghidorah could just eat him.

Did he lose his original powers?

I don't know.

Based on that size discrepancy, Malefor or even Spyro the Dragon himself would probably be a better opponent for Deathwing than Ghidorah.

I still hope Asura vs. the Hulk is a fight they'll do, especially as a season finale or something.

Asura dies multiple times over the course of his game, though, and the fact that he managed to reduce the time it takes for him to pull a Like A Badass Out Of Hell to a few minutes is irrelevant.

Why? If he returns to the battle before any major amount of time expires, it's not much different than having a Healing Factor that would bring him back into the fight.

Raiden lost because he had no expedient method of creating a new body, right?

Well, the battles are explicitly stated as being "to the death" or - in the event that one participant is immortal - until they are incapacitated to the point where they can no longer battle. I suppose it could be argued that Asura's ability to resurrect himself indefinitely counts as a form of immortality, but that's something of a grey area since while he's dead his body is petrified and could presumably be shattered beyond repair.

Well, if his petrified body does get broken, and that prevents a return, I'd call that death, and a loss.

To put it another way: it's not exactly death if it doesn't stop you from continuing the fight, does it? Sure, it's something that would permanently kill a lesser man, but...

Inverting that, if we had a character who had a Healing Factor strong enough to never really die, I'd still call them the loser if they got hit by something that permanently incapacitated or trapped them.

You mean something like Deadpool?

Or Toguro the Elder, or some interpretations of Wolverine.

For the record, Asura's first resurrection did not involve him doing so in a petrified body, because said body is implied to have already been destroyed 12,000 years ago when he was betrayed by his fellow Guardian Generals and thrown down from orbital altitude. Likewise, though his body at his second death had been dismembered and cut in half vertically, his resurrection left him with a completely healed body. Strangely enough, that didn't happen in his ''third' resurrection, after he died in the course of wiping out a huge army of Gohma; he remained as armless as he was before his death.
