ioticus Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Cast your vote for who would win in a knockdown, drag out fight between Dr. Destroyer, Mechanon and the Empress Istvatha V’han! I don't own the Book of the Empress (yet) so I'm not qualified to vote! No underlings, hirelings or henchmen allowed, just brains versus brawn versus boobs!

Lord Liaden Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Re: Super Villian Showdown! Without underlings, V'han has nowhere near the combat power of the other two. She's not exactly a pushover, but her concept is that her main threat comes from her practically unlimited resources. OTOH if she's played fully within concept, V'han could choose to travel back to the childhood of Albert Zerstoiten, or earlier, and erase him from existence before he became Dr. Destroyer. Mechanon, however, is a temporal anomaly which other time-travelers are wary of interacting with, so V'han probably would not try that trick on him. Again, in a straight fight without support V'han is no match for the genocidal robot. Mechanon and Dr. D have fought to a standstill in the past. Both megavillains have upgraded their capabilites since then, but based purely on their latest published game stats I think Destroyer has a bit of an edge. The question is, if DD beats Mech, could he improve his armor as fast as the robot could build a new, superior body with which to challenge him again? I'm getting dizzy.

Dr. MID-Nite Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Re: Super Villian Showdown! The Empress would NOT engage in any sort of physical combat with the other two. She has followers to do that. As for the other two...Doc has a slight edge based on their game stats. Both are very intelligent...so it might come down to superior tactics.

Zen Archer Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Re: Super Villian Showdown! In a fight between the three of them, I'd see V'han teaming up with Mechanon to finish off Destroyer (who I think she'd consider the greater threat) and then hoping to keep enough power in reserve to destroy or fend off the current Mechanon body and get away to fight another day. But that's how I'd write it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Re: Super Villian Showdown! It's highly debatable whether Mechanon would ever team up with any organic being, even temporarily. He never has in the past, out of pure despite for all living things. A Destroyer/V'han team-up is possible, but neither villain would trust the other, and would undoubtedly turn on each other at the first opportunity. Unless Istvatha had given her sworn oath not to do so; she almost always keeps her word if she gives it. The Doctor, OTOH, is a lying, backstabbing SOB who'll betray anyone if it's in his best interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afaik mechanon could summon a few robots and it is likely that V'han has followers or summons on her Sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm seeing is Mechanon and V'han tag-teaming Dr. D in combat, which I think is in the realm of the possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Re: Super Villain Showdown! Nah, for Mechanon every organic in front of it is just one more target. It would probably be offended at the very notion that it would need the help of an organic to destroy another organic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
