BRACKET 4,
Match 5:
Maverick (HIPPY FASCIST) bio
vs.
Pluto (AHURA MAZDA) bio
I doubt I need to present Pluto who is Zeus' brother and ruler of Hades. He is a class 60, with Olympian superspeed, a helmet that renders him invisible, regenerative powers, superhuman resistance, the ability to drain energy with a simple touch to the point of causing death, and of course, he is the most powerful Olympian magic user, somewhat like Loki with the Asgardians. Among his magic powers include transdimensional teleportation and magical blasts, and quite a few others. Pluto also uses adamantium axes which he is very proficient in.
Maverick is a Wolverine Villain who can absorb kinetic energy up to an extent meaning this is limited, he can shoot concussive blasts which hinder self-healing at least in mutants, increase his strength tenfold, and he has a vibranium suit. He is a trainned assasin.
Now Maverick wil be able to do very little research on Pluto/Hades apart from what he reads on mythology....where there are few stories apart from when he stole Persephone from Demeter, her mother, and a few minor roles in other stories.
This battle can really only have one result. First off, in a physical battle, Pluto could tear Maverick to peices given that increasing tenfold from a base human is nowehere near a class 60. Plus Olympians are extremely sturdy not to mention have a healing factor.
The healing factor is another thing. Maverick's ability to hinder that was created so he could go against Wolverine not one of the supreme Olympian deities. I doubt it would even work here.
Next we have the battles fom a distance. Pluto can teleport and remain invisible to all senses.
He could either:
1. Teleport behind Maverick, and with one swipe of his axe knock him out. even Vibranium has limits.
or
2. Teleport with his invisible helmet and use his touch weakening Maverick to the point of 'death'. healing does not work against Pluto's touch.
or
3. Use magical blasts to knock out Maverick for his ability to absorb kinetic energy has limits and they cannot be that high given he can only increase his strength tenfold through that methodology
or
4. Teleport him to Hades (as the edict against doing this would be off given this is a battle) and feed Maverik to his various pets like Cerebrus (unlikely scenario but a possible one)
Pluto is among the 3 most powerful Olympians (with Zeus and Poseidon) and the ruler of the Olympain land of death. It took all the Avengers to defeat him and they did it with the help of his wife - a kind of trick win (it was not a combat but an edict which forced his loss). Never through any type of one on one combat and certainly not against one had difficulty besting Sabretooth.
Winner - Pluto/Hades
