History WMG / DeathBattleBattleRoyaleAndTeamBattleSuggestions

A few things to keep in mind:
* Remember that they should have at least some common factor. Even the Starscream vs. Rainbow Dash had one; both being popular high flyers in their toylines in Hasbro. Also, no {{fanon}} interpretations of characters.
* No {{creepypasta}}. They have too many unknowns to be qualified combatants, and Death Battle is known for [[ShownTheirWork showing their research]].
* Characters who run on the RuleOfFunny are generally frowned upon. With no established limits, any scientific limits would be random. However, this doesn't really apply if that is the entire point; if you have a "just for fun" type match up, put it in the Jokes Battles folder.
* No {{Memetic Badass}}es after Chuck Norris and Segata Sanshiro (that match-up's enough, thanks!). The fun of the meme is kind of ruined when the show reveals and proves that they're not nearly as badass as all the jokes and facts say. [[spoiler:And besides, the aforementioned match ended in an apocalyptic draw]].

** Mizuka Nagamori vs. [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear I-No]] (Both use, respectively, [[InstrumentOfMurder a cello and an electric guitar]] as weapons, and fight with [[MusicalAssassin the power of music]]).
** Rumi Nanase vs:
*** [[LightNovel/{{Toradora}} Taiga]] [[VideoGame/DengekiBunkoFightingClimax Aisaka]] (Both use wooden swords to fight).

** Unknown vs:
*** [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood Miyako Arima]] (Both are {{Little Miss Badass}}es, the smallest of their respective games).
*** Anyone from ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'' (Unknown uses [[MyLittlePanzer toys]] to fight; in ''Girls Und Panzer'', piloting tanks is apparently an appropiate activity for little girls).
** Ayu Tsukimiya vs:

** Sayuri Kurata vs:
*** [[WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Star Butterfly]] (Both use their MagicalGirl powers to fight, and both have a MagicWand that can [[MorphWeapon transform into any kind of weapon]]; curiously enough, the wands wielded by both girls resemble each other a lot).
*** [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Rugal Bernstein]]: (Just because Sayuri parodies several of Rugal Moves, and a [[MemeticMutation meme]]-worth duel: [[EverythingIsBetterWithSpinning Sayurispin vs. Rugalspin]]).

* [[VisualNovel/{{SuperDanganRonpa2}} Nagito Komaeda]] vs. [[WesternAnimation/{{MiloMurphysLaw}} Milo Murphy]] (Optimistic but unlucky)
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Bad ideas for a matchup]]
'''Series/TheATeam''' battle royale
* While all members are former spec-ops, their specialties make the winner pretty clear. John "Hannibal" Smith is a strategist who's good at making a plan (and he loves it when they come together), B. A. Baracus is the tough guy who can take a punch and throw one as well, Templeton "Face" Peck's specialty (con artistry) is decidedly a non-combat skill, and "Howling Mad" Murdock is a pilot (a skill made useless by the fact that he'll probably have to fight with no vehicles, considering how characters fight alone even if vehicles are iconic to them I.e. Batman's Batmobile) who's possibly insane as well. It would end just like the TMNT battle royale; the tough guy and the strategist face off with the latter taking the cake due to good tactics and knowledge of everyone's strengths and weaknesses.
'''[[Franchise/StarWars Boba Fett]]''' VS '''Theatre/MacBeth'''. Too easy.
-->'''Macbeth''': Despair thy arms and armor, Master Fett/I bear a charméd life which must not yield/To one of woman born.\\
'''Boba''': Despair thy charm/And learn that Boba Fett was grown in vats/By arts thou canst not comprehend at all. ''*shoots Macbeth*''
* Same with '''[[Franchise/StarWars Boba Fett]]''' VS '''[[VideoGame/StarFox Macbeth]]'''. Beating whole planets is more Samus's thing, really.
''' [[Manga/OnePiece Sir Crocodile]]''' VS '''[[Manga/{{Naruto}} Gaara]]'''
* At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong for this death battle. Both Gaara and Crocodile manipulate sand, and fight with it in interesting ways. But you have to take into account that Crocodile can transform his body into sand to avoid most attacks. Since it's highly unlikely that Gaara knows how to use Haki, nor does he know any water style jutsu, he wouldn't even be able to hit Crocodile, making it incredibly one-sided.
'''[[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]]'''[[note]][[TheNthDoctor Any of him]][[/note]] VS '''Nearly anyone'''
* He's an utter GuileHero, and a TechnicalPacifist to boot. Second, the rules of Death Battle demand that the combatants show no mercy; The Doctor's [[IconicItem most famous tool]], the Sonic Screwdriver, would be an utter GameBreaker if he decided to ''really'' cut loose, ''especially'' in the hands of a guy with his intellect - [[WeaksauceWeakness Wood and deadlock seals]] be damned. Even further, he's ''far'' [[DependingOnTheWriter too inconsistent]], even within a single [[TheNthDoctor regeneration]] at times. Thus, the perfect combatant for the Doctor would be the Doctor. 12-way battle royale, every incarnation treated as a separate entity, regeneration off. It'd be interesting to see Wiz and Boomstick explore how he's changed over all the adventures and which one has the best skillset.
'''[[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Elder God Demonbane]]''' vs. Anyone
* Even more overpowered than pretty much all the characters mentioned here (with the possible exception of [[MemeticBadass Chuck and Segata]]) thanks to being larger than universes, able to summon infinite copies of itself and curb-stomp multiversal level beings, among other things.
** [[CommonKnowledge Except it's not Elder God Demonbane who's universe-sized]]. It's ''War God'' Demonbane who eventually became universe-sized due of an arms-race of sizeshifting. Now Elder God Demonbane ''could'' summon that specific War God Demonbane if it so chooses, but that's another can of worms.
'''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Elements of Harmony]] Battle Royale'''
* That's just asking for bronies to hate them, to say nothing about how ironic that would be.
'''[[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Elmyra Duff]]''' VS '''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]]'''
* As interesting as this could be for the guys in the [[Pantheon/TropePantheons Pantheon]], not only is there little info about Elmyra, I'm '''absolutely''' sure a magical pegasus pony still has an advantage over a regular (though running on CartoonPhysics) human being. Also, we all know pacifism is ignored in Death Battle, and pacifism is one of Fluttershy's defining traits.
'''[[Franchise/DragonBall Frieza]]''' VS '''[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Mewtwo]]'''
* A very commonly requested battle no doubt, but grounded solely on the fact that their appearance/attacks merely ''look'' similar. It would probably the most one-sided battle in the shows history in Frieza's (the guy who can ''blow up planets with his finger'' in his weakest form) favor. ''One Minute Melee'' does have this matchup though, and it's a more fitting venue anyways. [[https://twitter.com/ScrewAttackBen/status/742781766012801024 Ben himself demonstrated in a chart about why it won't work (nor Silver)]]
** While Frieza is without a doubt stronger than Mewtwo and could kill him in a physical confrontation, there's more to fighting that physical power. The fight could also be one-sided in Mewtwo's favor if Mewtwo could attack Frieza's mind. The Shadow vs Mewtwo battle has proven that a fight doesn't solely rely on physical abilities and that mental attacks are just as dangerous. Due to the nature of ''Dragon Ball'' fights, we have no idea as to whether or not Frieza has any mental defenses or if his alien mind is too foreign for Mewtwo to attack, though Mewtwo's psychic powers have been used on extraterrestrial (Dexoys) and extra-dimensional (Ultra Beasts) beings before with no sign of difficulty. It's a Brains vs Brawns fight where both possess the power to effortless kill the other, with too many unknowns to factor in.
'''[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Pacifist!Frisk]]''' vs. '''[[VideoGame/{{Iji}} Pacifist!Iji]]'''
* This is Death Battle, where pacifism is thrown out of the window. Furthermore, it would also be a [[PaddedSumoGameplay long, boring, drawn out fight]] as Pacifist!Iji obtains the ''very'' powerful [[spoiler: Massacre as an end-game weapon]], and while Pacifist!Frisk's [[spoiler: Determination ''would'' keep him/her going at a ''fraction'' of a hit point after getting blasted]], since he/she didn't kill any monsters and consequently did not level up, Frisk's attack would be too low to do much against Iji, who would NoSell it via her nanofield.
** This also assumes that [[spoiler: Determination works when the attacker is another human, which has never been determined one way or the other.]] If it does work, you get the scenario above. If not, Iji wins handily, and [[CurbstompBattle nobody wants to see a fight that's practically decided before it even starts.]] [[spoiler: The only time Frisk had ever fought another human (that we know of) was the end of No Mercy, and that wasn't so much a "fight" as it was [[HopelessBossFight Death by Cutscene]].]]
'''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquer GDI]] vs. VideoGame/{{XCOM}}'''
* On paper, it works, with both organizations being joint funded {{Badass Arm|y}}ies, but problems set in when one realizes that GDI has some truly massive resources, such as the Ion Cannon network, and much, ''much'', '''''much''''', heavier equipment (MEC suits are impressive, but would barely be comparable to a Titan, let alone a Mammoth; XCOM's attempts at either a decapitation strike or guerilla warfare wouldn't work as well given that GDI has regularly beaten Nod, and managed to out-fight both the Scrin and Nod after the loss of their entire command staff). In-lore, it takes a mere 3 minutes to build an entire Mammoth tank, and Tiberium-enhanced industry is something incomparable.
'''[[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]]''' VS '''[[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]]'''
* No doubt a common request based upon both utilizing powerful ki attacks, but closer examination of their abilities suggest it's not even close at base level, never mind Super Saiyan. Ryu wasn't shown to have the sort of speed or endurance of Goku, and even with the Power of Nothingness, Goku's ki is shown to be more powerful.
'''[[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]]''' VS '''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'''
* The fight wouldn't be much different from Vegeta vs Shadow, apart from the fact that Goku would probably win even more easily.
'''Goku''' vs. '''Superman''' 3.
* Unless they are going to give the fans a different outcome, there's absolutely no point in repeating this battle just to end with the same result as the last two times with the same explanation for why Goku lost. Besides, they don't want another flame war.
'''[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]]''' VS '''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]]'''
* Neither Homer or Peter have special powers or are BadassNormal aside from non-canon bits for gags.
'''[[VideoGame/{{Tyrian}} Trent Hawkins]]''' VS '''[[VideoGame/RaptorCallOfTheShadows The Raptor Mercenary]]'''
* On paper, this sounds like an awesome fight between two MadeOfIron {{Vertical Scrolling|Shooter}} ShootEmUp ships from MS-DOS games. In practice, it would be a ''[[CurbStompBattle complete stomp]]'' in Trent's favour thanks to his strongest ship loadouts having the weapons advantage (lasers and plasma tear through the Raptor's shields), defensive advantage (regenerating shields can tank what the Raptor can throw at it, while the Raptor cannot regenerate its shields and even loses weaponry if damaged at low health) and mobility advantage (much faster in comparison) over the Raptor's strongest loadouts. Trent has also dealt with far more dangerous enemies than the Raptor Merc. A better opponent for Trent would be the player from ''VideoGame/JetsNGuns''.
'''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''' Battle Royale
* While this ''could'' be a fun and interesting battle, there lies some problems in it that makes it doubtful it could be pulled off well. The first one is the balance; ultimately, this fight is extremely one-sided in favor of Jotaro and, if allowed to use [[spoiler: Gold Experience Requiem]], Giorno. It is acknowledged from the very start of Stardust Crusaders that Jotaro's stand, Star Platinum, is extremely overpowered, having amazing stats in every category and average Stand range. Not to mention that he has a strategic mind that could potentially rival Joseph's, and later gains the ability to [[spoiler: stop time]]. All of this combined means Jotaro would win extremely easily, unless Giorno is allowed to use his previously mentioned ability, in which case, there is no doubt about the fact that he would win. The second problem is the amount of combatants; it's obvious they already have enough trouble doing battles with more than two combatants, so ''eight'' would just be a nightmare. The final problem is the animation; while every combatant has readily available 3D models, it's obvious that they have a much harder time animating 3D battles than 2D ones. Overall, it would take an extremely long time, and the victor would be obvious no matter what. It would take a lot of work in order to make this battle good, so it's better to not waste time on it.
'''[[Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion Kimba/Leo]]''' VS '''[[Disney/TheLionKing Simba]]'''
* While both can be dangerous (being [[KingOfBeasts lions]] and all), this isn't even worth an interest to Wiz and Boomstick. Who are we kidding?
'''Franchise/ProfessorLayton''' VS '''[[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]]'''
* Unless Phoenix's skills in Marvel vs Capcom 3 are taken into account, the fight would be one sided and easy on Layton's part due to him being skilled at fencing. The battle could work if it was a battle of wits however. A battle of wits could work for a Death Battle if Nick is involved. Mr. Wright (and almost any other ''Ace Attorney'' character, for that matter) kinda has WeaponsGradeVocabulary, anyway.
'''[[Manga/FairyTail Natsu]]''' VS (merely) '''any [[PlayingWithFire fire-user]]'''
* Natsu can consume just about any fire that isn't his own. Find someone better, then let's consider.
** Toa Tahu of ''Toys/{{Bionicle}} '' fame might be a good candidate for a battle of this nature. He too can consume fire that's not his own, and he's got other skills besides slinging fire balls and manipulating the heat around him.
* Let's see how his match with [[Anime/OnePiece Portgas D. Ace]] will turn out. [[spoiler:As predicted, Natsu won, but not ''just'' because of this. While Ace's fire was useless against him, he also couldn't touch Ace for the most part because of Logia Devil Fruit intangibility. Eating Ace was also out of the question since Ace could just turn back to his tangible self. It took Natsu a ''lightning'' attack to overpower the intangibility and kill Ace.]]
'''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''' Battle Royale
* They're pretty much identical as far as abilities (as well as the ways they use them) are concerned, but have different personalities, so it would be less of a "Who's the best warrior?" and more "Who has the best mindset?". To say nothing of the UnfortunateImplications of 3 little girls who love each other like family fighting to the death.
'''[[Webcomic/OnePunchMan Saitama]]''' vs. Anyone
* Is way too overpowered since he can defeat damn near anyone in a single hit.
'''[[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Team Fortress 2 Mercenaries]]''' Battle Royale
* Each mercenary has their own pros and cons that can set them at an advantage and disadvantage when facing each other (Spy [[ParanoiaFuel relying on deception and paranoia among the opposing team]], [[TheMedic Medic]] requiring a partner to fight [[SquishyWizard as he's not so great on his own]], etc). Also, it's been established that [[FireForgedFriends they get along with each other after many fights]], and have no incentive [[OnlyInItForTheMoney other than money]] to kill each other, [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules and even then, they would refuse to do it]] (See Demoman and Soldier's friendship prior to the WAR! update.)
'''[[Machinima/RedVsBlue Agent Texas]]''' VS Nearly anyone
* Due to traits intrinsic to her character as [[spoiler: the Beta AI, which is representative of Alpha's, or more accurately Dr. Leonard Church's, failures]], as badass as she has shown herself to be, she's [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption always doomed to fail during particularly critical points in her missions]]. The hosts will likely take notice of this, and in a setting like Death Battle, that will go a long way to ensuring victory... for anyone she would be likely to enter combat against on this show. Viable opponents would be other incredibly badass characters who also suffer varying degrees of FailureIsTheOnlyOption, so that both have a fairly even chance of winning if the result isn't a MutualKill or a complete failure for either to kill the other for any reason at all.
'''[[Franchise/StreetFighter Vega]]''' vs. '''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'''
* At the livestream of the airing of ''Wolverine vs. Raiden'', the hosts mentioned that this has been requested on the grounds that they both utilize metal claws in combat, but this is where similarities end, which would make this fight unfair in Wolverine's favor. Wolverine is a mutant who can regenerate from flesh wounds and even evisceration, not to mention having an adamantium skeleton and claws, while Vega has no such traits, merely being a competent human fighter with claws weaker than adamantium that can be knocked off of him due to him wearing it on his hand.
'''BlazBlue vs. WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''' match-ups.
* While BlazBlue vs WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} is one of the most requested franchise match-ups due to the similarities, almost ALL of the fights are unfair due to the fact that BlazBlue is an overpowered universe. Also, these fights would also be EXTREME backlash from Screwattack. For example, if Ragna vs Ruby were to happen, they either get a dead Ragna and a fanbase of BlazBlue fanatics telling them EVERYTHING about the lore and everything they got wrong, or we get a dead Ruby and TONS of hatred from RWBY's fanbase, saying "How could you do this to her? She's so young!" (same with matchups like Bullet vs. Yang, Jin vs. Weiss, Terumi vs. Cinder, and Blake vs. Hibiki). These match-ups are better off as a OneMinuteMelee.
'''[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings The Witch-king of Angmar]]''' vs. '''nearly anyone'''
* This is an odd case where the fight would or could be a ForegoneConclusion in either direction because of the prophecy concerning the Witch-king: he cannot be killed by any living man. In-universe, he was eventually killed by Eowyn ([[ExactWords who was a Man, but not a man]]) which opens up the idea that the Witch-king both can't be killed by any male character (or any male ''human'' character thanks to the ambiguous wording of the prophecy) but ''can'' be killed by any female character/female human. Because of that, it would probably be hard to actually find a match-up that would both make sense and actually give either side a fair shake just by dint of the prophecy. Unless, of course, they simply decide to disregard the prophecy similarly to abandoning the no-killing rules of technical pacifist characters like Batman and Superman. There probably ''is'' at least one character who could qualify as a parallel to the Witch-king, a fair match for him, ''and'' not subjected to the prophecy all at once, but who could it be?
'''[[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]] vs. [[WebComic/OnePunchMan Saitama]]'''
* Ignoring the fact that outside his magic plot device Saitama has precisely zero feats would put him anywhere near Goku's level after Episode 12, Episode 39, and all of the power boosts he got during the Goku Black Saga, this fight is completely pointless until we know the true extent Saitama's full power (whether or not he really can punch with half the force of a big bang like some of his fans claim he can) and would just start a flame war worse than Goku vs. Superman 2. No one wins. And there are far more interesting match-ups.
'''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] vs. [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Eren Yaeger]]'''
* At first glance, this seems like an amazing matchup between two teenagers that are fueled by their rage and trauma. Even ignoring the fact that Eren has no way of getting through Unit-01's AT field, Eren's titan form is only 15 meters tall (about 2 houses tall), whereas Shinji's EVA-01 is mostly inconsistent with it's size so that it could suit the opponent,[[note]]with its official height being 40 meters in the original continuity and 80 meters in the ''Rebuild'' continuity[[/note]] but it's tallest height is about 200 meters (somewhere between the Great Pyramid and the Eiffel Tower).

'''Anything Involving WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse'''
* Ben has mentioned in Death Battle Cast that because of [[YouWannaGetSued legal issues]] surrounding the character, Website/ScrewAttack isn't going to risk putting Mickey Mouse into Death Battle over the possibility of getting sued by Creator/{{Disney}} themselves, so the chances of Mickey appearing in Death Battle are pretty much none. This means that commonly requested match-ups involving Mickey, like Mickey Mouse VS WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, will never happen, much to the dismay of fans.

* On paper, this sounds like an awesome fight between two MadeOfIron {{Vertical Scrolling|Shooter}} ShootEmUp ships from MS-DOS games. In practice, it would be a ''[[CurbStompBattle complete stomp]]'' in Trent's favour thanks to his strongest ship loadouts having the weapons advantage (lasers and plasma tear through the Raptor's shields), defensive advantage (regenerating shields can tank what the Raptor can throw at it, while the Raptor cannot regenerate its shields and even loses weaponry if damaged at low health) and mobility advantage (much faster in comparison) over the Raptor's strongest loadouts. A better opponent for Trent would be the player from ''VideoGame/JetsNGuns''.

* On paper, this sounds like an awesome fight between two MadeOfIron ShootEmUp characters. In practice, it would be a ''[[CurbStompBattle complete stomp]]'' in Trent's favour, given that his ship's strongest loadouts contain laser and plasma weaponry which the Raptor takes incredible damage from -- even with five layers of shields, the Raptor will go down in less than ten seconds. Ships from Tyrian also have regenerating shields that allows them to survive attacks ''far'' stronger than what the Raptor can output and regenerate very quickly if powered by the strongest generator, the Gravitron Pulse-Wave, while the Raptor cannot regenerate its shields. Most of the Raptor's weapons including the Deathray and Twin Laser are {{Fixed Forward Facing Weapon}}s while several of Tyrian's weapons can hit beyond that angle. Finally, the ships in Tyrian are a lot more maneuverable than the Raptor itself, meaning that they can easily avoid being in front of the Raptor while attacking it with weapons of their own.

'''[[Franchise/DragonBall Freeza]]''' VS '''[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Mewtwo]]'''
* A very commonly requested battle no doubt, but grounded solely on the fact that their appearance/attacks merely ''look'' similar. It would probably the most one-sided battle in the shows history in Freezas' (the guy who can ''blow up planets with his finger'' in his weakest form) favor. ''One Minute Melee'' does have this matchup though, and it's a more fitting venue anyways. [[https://twitter.com/ScrewAttackBen/status/742781766012801024 Ben himself demonstrated in a chart about why it won't work (nor Silver)]]
** While Frieza is without a doubt stronger than Mewtwo and could kill him in a physical confrontation, but there is more to fighting that physical power. The fight could also be one-sided in Mewtwo's favor if Mewtwo could attack Frieza's mind. The Shadow vs Mewtwo battle has proven that a fight doesn't solely rely on physical abilities and that mental attacks are just as dangerous. Due to the nature of dragon ball fights we have no idea as to where or not Frieza as any mental defense or if his alien mind is too foreign for Mewtwo to attack, though Mewtwo's psychic powers have been used on extraterrestrial (Dexoys) and extra-dimensional (Ultra Beasts) beings before with no sign of difficulty. It's a Brains vs Brawns fight where both possess the power to effortless kill the other, with too many unknowns to factor in.

* Let's see how his match with [[Anime/OnePiece Portagaz D. Ace]] will turn out. [[spoiler:As predicted, Natsu won, but not ''just'' because of this. While Ace's fire was useless against him, he also couldn't touch Ace for the most part because of Logia Devil Fruit intangibility. Eating Ace was also out of the question since Ace could just turn back to his tangible self. It took Natsu a ''lightning'' attack to overpower the intangibility and kill Ace.]]

* Is way too overpowered since he can defeat anyone in a single hit. Next.
** Oh really? Even someone like the [[{{Animorphs}} Ellimist]], who can bend space and time and reality to his will and has no physical body that you can hit? Please.

* While BlazBlue vs WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} is one of the most requested franchise match-ups due to the similarities, almost ALL of the fights are unfair due to the fact that BlazBlue is an overpowered universe. Also, these fights would also be EXTREME backlash from Screwattack. For example, if Ragna vs Ruby were to happen, they either get a dead Ragna and a fanbase of BlazBlue fanatics telling them EVERYTHING about the lore and everything they got wrong, or we get a dead Ruby and TONS of hatred from RWBY's fanbase, saying "How could you do this to her? She's so young!". These match-ups are better off as a OneMinuteMelee.

'''[[Manga/DragonBall Goku]] vs. [[WebComic/OnePunchMan Saitama]]'''

* At first glance, this seems like an amazing matchup between two teenagers that are fueled by their rage and trauma. Even ignoring the fact that Eren has no way of getting through Unit-01's AT field, Eren's titan form is only 15 meters tall (about 2 houses tall), whereas Shinji's EVA-01 is mostly inconsistent with it's size so that it could suit the opponent,[[note]]with its official height being 40 meters in the original continuity and 80 meters in the ''Rebuild'' continuity[[/note]] but it's tallest height is about 200 meters (somewhere between the Great Pyramid and the Eiffel Tower). It would literally [[Main/CurbStompBattle be a stomp]].
