Darth writes up a great storyline....and, it works until the end. There won't be anything "causing (P)rofessor Power to descend on him to see his opponents demise;" because, Professor Power would use his "e-beam (electron-beam) gun" which "used a high-flux particle accelerator assembly located in his battlesuit's right forearm and a lasing array around the forefinger of his right glove, which operated in tandem" and caused a "maximum concussive force equivalent to the detonation of 100 pounds of TNT."
Now, just imagine that; from the air, Professor Power spots Kraven running, and he uses a "concussive force equivalent to the detonation of 100 pounds of TNT." There won't be any thing to see after that. No body to look at, because the body doesn't exist anymore.
Winner: Professor Power

Demogoblin (HIPPY FASCIST) bio
vs.
Yellow claw (PHAEDRUS45) bio
[/quote
Ok, so opening statement for demogoblin.
While this will undoubtedly be a tough match for the goblin he does have certain advantages over his foe. While yellowclaw's psychic assault would make things very difficult, demogoblin has displayed some psychic ability himself in the past.
Devilclaw is an extremely accomplished sorcerer well versed in the black arts, he is certainly of a level that he'd give yellow claw a run for his money.
Unlike many combatants he posseses an infinate supply of projectile weapons. Meaning he could simply carpet-bomb the area with pumpkin bombs until eventually he got a hit. As a further note, Demogoblin's pumpkin bombs have the ability to cripple an opponent emotionally. I know this sounds crap like the heart guy from CAPTAIN PLANET!
![]()
...but, put it this way, if your opponent is sitting on the floor crying like a little girl he isn't going to be putting up much of a fight!![]()
I'm not sure on the limitations of range but demogoblin can go pretty high and move pretty fast on that glider of his making him, at least initially, an extremely difficult target for any weapon yellow claw would bring to the fight.
His skin causes violent halucinations in opponents meaning if he so much as brushed against yellow claw the sorceror would lose all concentration resulting in at the very least some reduction in the effects of his powers.
Demogoblin is like a rabid dog in a fight, the kind of psycho you can't deal with (particularly since his moral code means he will have INSANE AMMOUNTS OF HATRED spurring him on) in a rational matter and as anyone who has gotten into a fight on a friday night down the pub can tell you...nutjob's don't play by the rules. Yellowclaw has extensive martial arts training but martial arts rely on punches coming at certain spots, they are a series of set movements designed to counteract another(or multiple) fighting styles. As a result deomgoblin would prove tough to stop, combine that with the fact that he has strength on spider-man's level and I think it's clear that if this fight goes close combat yellow claw would get pwned!![]()
So in closing, while demogoblin is clearly of lesser power, yellow claw's powers require heavy concentration which is the one thing demogoblin was born to spoil. The guy can get on your nerves, he can freak ou out, he can bounce around the room (excuse the crappy pun) like a man possesed. Anything the freak you out. We are talking about two characters based around the concept of hallucination and which would freak you out more if you were tweaking...an old chinese guy...or a freakin DEMON!
Thank you for listening, you've been a great audience...
Phaedrus45 said:Demogoblin vs. Yellow Claw:
Definitely my toughest match this week; but, in my estimation, one that Yellow Claw would pull out the victory. This match is all about location, experience, and knowledge. As the various bios on Yellow Claw state, he's a "criminal mastermind ... born over one hundred and fifty years ago in mainland China. A genius in biochemistry," he has the knowledge and experience to learn about his opponent and use his lack of experience against him.
Since Yellow Claw is going up against a demon, his past dealings with the supernatural will be his advantage. As his bio also states, "The Yellow Claw has superhuman psychic abilities with which he can influence another person's sensory perceptions, causing that Person to see, hear, and even feel the illusions the Claw projects into his or her mind.
The Yellow Claw has considerable knowledge of sorcery, and has even proved able to reanimate the dead."(1) It would be my estimation that a demon wouldn't be too well trained in dealing with a psychic who can influence his perceptions.(2) And, with Yellow Claws knowledge of sorcery, he's probably be able to send Demogoblin right back where he came from.(3)
This will be a match of shadows and deceipt. It's too bad Demogoblin's stench and flames will give him away. Yellow Claw's psychic training will easily keep him hidden, until he can use his sorcery to banish this demon.(3) And, it is with Sorcery he would probably defeat this goblin...but, it's not his only means. He is a master in biochemisty, and has a variety of weapons, including one that "can weaken a person's will with his 'id paralyzer.'"(4)
Winner: Yellow Claw

As noted above, and as my opponent has admitted, Demogoblin isn't really a sorcerer. Demogobin won't know what he's up against, while Yellow Claw will realize he's dealing with a demon whose black arts powers are simply limited to the use of fire and brimstone. I would highly argue that Demogoblin could "hold his opponent at bay for a long time if the battle went magical." There is nothing in Demogoblin's past that would show he has that ability against a Master Sorcerer.hippy fascist said:
- He has proved able to re-animate the dead at the absolute peak of his powers. Demogoblin is also an extremely accomplished student of the black arts(wouldn't really call him a sorceror though
) and as traditional views on magic's show, for every spell there is a counter-spell. Demogoblin would be able to hold his opponent at bay for a long time if the battle went magical.
To think a Master Sorcerer would submit to "emotional panic attacks" is very unlikely. Again, Demogoblin will have no idea who he's going against...Yellow Claw will. And, he would have a plan for dealing with a demon who's only means of attack is with fire and brimstone. Plus, let's not forget how Demogoblin was killed. A pillar dropped on him and crushed him.hippy fascist said:
- Except perhaps for a demon whose whole powerbase revolves around halucination and general fear. The guy has halucinogenic skin, he has bombs and blades that cause emotional breakdowns on impact, do you not think that at somepoint he was on the recieving end of some of those emotional panic attacks. Also how do you freak a guy that has spent most of his existence in HELL! It doesn't get much freakier than ABANDON HOPE ALL WHO ENTER HERE (not sure if that's the exact quote)
- With regards banishment, traditional folklore dictates (and buffy/charmed
t: ), for every kind of demon there is a set ritual/weapon/natural influence for banishing them from the mortal plane. Demogoblin is a student of the black arts. If you were in his position what be the first thing you'd do...you'd check out the spells with significant impact on yourself and learn how to interupt/repel their effects.
hippy fascist said:
- The id is the selfish impulses, the pleasure centre. Demogoblin doesn't do what he does out of desire or because he enjoys it, the guy's on a personal crusade due to an extreme moral code he has picked up somewhere. He is not acting wilfully he is doing something that to him at least involves suffering and sacrifice.
I'm pretty sure he's displayed links with other people such as doppelgangerPhaedrus45 said:Rebuttal:quote]
In actuality, the only psychic abilities that Demogoblin has displayed is between him and his previous host, Jason Macendale. For this reason, he is stated as having "limited telepathic ablility," because of his previous association with the Hobgoblin.
Yes, it is stated he's well versed in black magic and the occult, but never has he been referred to as "an extremely accomplished sorcerer." Simply put, he uses fire and brimstone to make his glider and weapon's work. In all the research you can do on Demogoblin, you will never find him using sorcery.
The problem with this statement in regards to this match-up is two-fold. First, the Blue Area of the Moon is made up of many structures in which to battle. He cannot get so far out of range that Yellow Claw's method's would be unavailable to reach him. Second, need I remind you how Demogoblin died? He clearly won't "carpet-bomb the area," because a pillar ended up crushing him and ending his life.
1) Demogoblin won't be able to research who Yellow Claw is, while Yellow Claw would have extensive information about Jason Macendale and Demogoblin at this disposal. You may ask, "Why wouldn't Demogoblin be able to get any information?" Because, Demogoblin is so insane that "he saw everyone as a sinner," and would thus try to kill anyone who could possible assist him.
And as I said demogoblin is a wild animal with total conviction that he is in the right, hewould fight through the pain and find a way totake it to close quarters, a guy like yellow claw he is going to want to whale on nice and hard2) Yellow Claw is a master at many things, including sorcery, mysticism, alchemy, biochemistry, and the martial arts. The last thing Yellow Claw would do is engage Demogoblin in a physical fight. So, all the arguments about that would be null and void. Yellow Claw would know this demon's weaknesses, he would know ways to protect himself from the Demogoblin.
Prep time is for little-girls3) The prep-time is to Yellow Claw's extreme advantage, and utterly useless to Demogoblin. Demogoblin does not play well with others. In fact, as my opponent clearly states, he's quite insane. Yellow Claw isn't. He has a vast empire, knowledge of the underground, and unlimited resources at his disposal. Simply put, the more anyone thinks about this match-up, the more they will realize the one character who has the clear advantage.

hippy fascist said:The implication however is that these are spells rather than inate abilities. The guy is however many milenia old and most importantly has spent most of his life in hell, don't you think that he has at least heard tales of Yellow claw's exploits from the "inmates" he will have a fair amount of knowledge of yellowclaw and with regards the sorcery, alistair crowley was probably a great teacher!But seriously, if he can conjure pumpkin bombs and a glider, don't you think he might have learnt a few defensive spells over the years. Also he conjures these without words, unlike the majority of sorcerors, which implies at least fairly significant power-levels.
hippy fascist said:Second he died holding the pillar up to save a little girl, how many litle girls are there likely to be in the area?

First off Blink could get all the information from her HQ so she would be fully prepared to take this beast down. Along with Morph and Mimic, Blink is one of the few to go up against Super Souless Hyperion and come out standing, she's not studip she knows how to use here powers....violently. I could see this ending quick. First she would teleport his weapons away from his and leave him defenseless, then he would turn into his invulnerable wolf form which would be the problem factor but since in her mind it is no longer human, she would have no problem bombarding him with her teleportation daggers that would pick him to pieces and into walls.Phaedrus45 said:

You misunderstand they have all the knowledge of the entire universe, that means evrything, it isn't someone compiling info, it's ABSOLUTE knowledge.Ahura Mazda said:I will not argue this point but lets note that Fenris was very rarely seen in the comic but when he was, it ws in Asgard. I don't know how much info HQ would have outside of Norse Mythology.
No she was the one taht took him down first by teleporting his beams into his back. And she fought him head on in the desert and survived, she didn't win she survived! Big diference but I tihnk this wolf chump would get a major smackdown from Hyperion.Ahura Mazda said:Yes she came out standing against Hyperion but she only acted as a distraction and the team was able to defeat him with the help of 2 other Hyperions from other timelines so lets not think she could have stood up to him on her own. She does not have that kind of help here.
Why couldn't she teleport it away from him? And after thatAhura Mazda said:I will say that her teleporting powers are extensive but could she teleport a URU HAMMER forged by Surtur away. This is not any normal weapon so the question remains in doubt. The question would be the same to ask whether she could teleport Mjollnir away from Thor.
Yes.Ahura Mazda said:This is a creature ODIN feared, you really think a sub-omega mutant stands a chance.

Hellstormer said:Why couldn't she teleport it away from him? And after that she would just hammer him with thousands of dagger that would eventually hit him and split him apart.
It's all knowledge and future forcasting, meaning Blink would have all the information and be able to see what she would need to do to beat him.Ahura Mazda said:The way I understand it, was all earthly knowledge. Asgard is not earthly.
I'll give that to you, he's tought he wouldn't be easy. But Hyperion took out Thor, Silver Surfer, and Thanos in hi suniverse. Which means they couldn't survive. And Blink did, that tells you soemthing. She may not be stronger or more powerful but she's smart and resourceful she would figure out a way to keep him down and defeat him.Ahura Mazda said:To call fenris a wolf chump is to seriously underestimate Fenris the wolf. And whether Hyperion could take him is in question as well. Thor could not and neither would Odin be able to. You know Odin right, the Allfather who could take down Thanos and fight off Surtur.
She could just teleport the forceful too.Ahura Mazda said:The hammer is made of uru and is magical in nature. It is protected. I don't remember Thor's hammer ever being teleported out of his hands.
It doesn't need to penetrate it just has to make contact.Ahura Mazda said:And the daggers would not necessarily penetrate him as invulnerable as he is.
Yes she is but that doesn't mean she couldn't beat him.Ahura Mazda said:Blink is outclassed against a creature that is destinned to eat Odin.
Hellstormer said:It's all knowledge and future forcasting, meaning Blink would have all the information and be able to see what she would need to do to beat him.

Hellstormer said:It doesn't need to penetrate it just has to make contact.
No but with the future forcasting abilities she would be able to find some way to defeat him.Ahura Mazda said:I concede she would have knowledge that a wolf destinned to eat Odin who has no weakenesses. Its not like she could get some Kryptonite....
I don't think she's that high but maybe like a level below it, two at the most.Ahura Mazda said:I know that but we did not see those battles so do not quite know the circumstances of them. And Blink is not Batman or Forge.
If he gets realy big she could just teleport away from him, and the bigger he is, the easier he would be to hit. If he turned small she could just step on him.Ahura Mazda said:And how would she throw anything if Fenris instantly crushes her changing to the size of a continent or to the size of a microbe...he can control his size and lest I forget he is also a shapechanger. Plus it is not like Fenris would not be viscious...he would just be as happy having her for lunch and feel no remorse whatsoever.
Yep, not the greatest battle to start off with.Ahura Mazda said:I am glad we agree she is outclassed.
Hellstormer said:No but with the future forcasting abilities she would be able to find some way to defeat him.
