BRACKET 3,
Match 32:
Mr. Sinister (AHURA MAZDA) bio
vs.
Gazer - War (HELLSTORMER) bio
First of all, this match may have been interesting if this version of War was not so weak. He actually died before he could have any real impact but I will develop that later on.
Mr. Sinister is no b-rate villain. He is a very powerful superhuman being who is a genius. His powers are as follows:
Shape Shifting - Sinister has total control over his body's cellular structure, allowing him to peform limited shapeshiftng. He can assume the form of any one he wishes, and once reduced himself into a semi-liquid state.
Superhuman Strength - At times, he has demonstrated superhuman strength.
Resistance / Regenration - He has frequently shown a remarkable resistance to injury and excellent regenerative abilitieshe has survived having a large hole shot through his head, and apparently survived having the flesh blasted off his bones at the climax of the Inferno story arc.
Telepath - He has also demonstrated reasonably strong telepathic powers in the past, including the ability to mentally paralyze a foe hes touching, erasing the memories of Jean Grey at the end of the Inferno arc, and being able to withstand a psychic assault from Psylocke, a high-level telepath.
Telekinetic - He has also exhibited some minor telekinetic abilities, such as mentally moving objects and firing blasts of concussive force from his hands or from the diamond-shaped scarlet mark on his forehead. He was believed to possess the power of teleportation, but it was revealed this was not an innate ability, but a function of his tesseract headquarters, which was far bigger on the inside than on the outside (like the TARDIS from the television series Doctor Who).
Genius - Sinister is a genius and a geneticist of the highest order, able to predict genetic mutations and splice DNA. (Originally, he was genetically altered by Apocalypse, since then, it is quite probable that his other abilities are the result of self-experimentationhis shapeshiftng power is due to a procedure he performed on himself with help from a time-traveling Gambit.) He possesses a good deal of knowledge in psychology, and is a skilled manipulator.
That is Mr. Sinister. Gazer was taken by Apocalypse and transformed to possess super-strength and enhanced durability, and the ability to absorb and rechannel solar energy as blasts of fire through his eyes.
Gazer lasted all of 3 comic books before he was killed by a scribe with a sword as you can see here:
For this battle, prep time will not mean much given Gazer (War) never showed much with regard to prepration. But I will state that is very likely that he will know of Mr. Sinister.
Mr. Sinister will know of Gazer before he was transformed and given his knowledge of genetics and of Apocolypse, he should be able to figure out most of Gazer's powers.
Location: this will be an advantage to Mr. Sinister who is not totally unfamiliar with the non-technology of the times given he was alive in the 1800s.
Mr. Sinister would take weaponry with him including a gun and a knife.
The battle will have Mr. Sinister shape shifting into Apocolypse and finding Gazer. Gazer will be confused and once Sinister approaches he will take over Gazer's mind, by erasing it. He will then simply turn Gazer around and shoot him in the head. Of course he will take a genetic sample of him for future use.
