DTL Season 6-Week 6 (Set 2)

[DTL Commish]

The rules:
This is one of two threads containing matches.
Because of the holidays, these threads will be in use for 16 days. Days 1-8 (Dec 19-26) are strictly setup time for owners to post their battles, plead their cases, tell us their team’s strategies, breakdown the match ups, and do whatever else they can/want to do to try and convince you that their team would pull out a victory. Please, let the owners do this on their own with no help. Debating cannot begin until both owners post battles.

On Day 9 (Dec 27) I will post and tell everyone that voting may begin. Any votes cast before I open voting will not count. Look over the matchups and read the strategies, and take into consideration how in-character each character is. Afterwards, use your best judgment to decide who you think has the best chance to win the match. (Note: The length of a writeup is at the discretion of the owner. Do not punish owners just for having a shorter writeup.)

To vote, post the team names you think will prevail in each match. Remember to vote for all matches or your vote will not count! The teams with the highest vote total at the end of the 16th day (Jan 3) will get a W while the other will get an L. (Equal votes will result in a tie.)

Deadly Dozen vs. Immortals

Prep Time
Merlin telepathically scans his new teammate, Turtle, discovers undesirable evil there, and mindwipes the mother****er. Straight up Catwoman/Heat Wave-style side-switching.

Battle Time
Merlin, magically/telepathically locating the Immortals and transmitting their locations to his teammates, teleports himself and Turtle directly to Hulk the moment battle begins. Turtle brings the full force of his speed-stealing to bear against Hulk while Merlin shuts down Hulk's brain. It's a simple enough matter to do the same to Bizarro.

Living Lightning is able to outrun Venom, and has the natural advantage of being able to go into an intangible form while still creating tangible attacks against his opponent. If that's not enough to take down Venom, he'll quickly have uber-level help from Merlin and Turtle.

With Merlin's telepathic feed, Liberty Belle and Captain Boomerang are able to take the fight to Midnighter at superspeed and keep it away from Ant-Man. A two-pronged superspeed attack will be enough to take care of Midnighter, while the rest of the team can deal with Ant-Man.

Deadly Dozen win.

Authorititans vs. Spanish Inquisition

Prep Time
Faust sets up his traps all over Themyscira. Using her genius, her knowledge of the island, and her knowledge of Themysciran technology, Wonder Woman joins with Spartan/Void to create a Purple Death Ray.

Battle Time
Wonder Woman and Spartan/Void make for the opposing ubers at top speed. Faust scryes for the rest of the Inquisition's locations, and Midnighter fires the Purple Death Ray. I figure, realistically, the PDR nails Mother-One. Spider-Man's probably too good with the danger sense, and Atom's probably small enough to avoid it.

Wonder Woman is able to telepathically influence Superman as she attacks him, tricking him with myriad false images of Wonder Woman attacking him while the real McCoy hammers him from all sides with powers he's not expecting from her, including many of his own. Meanwhile, Spartan/Void attacks Silver Surfer, and while both of them have extremely high superspeed, Spartan has the advantage of being able to react at that speed. Surfer has two choices: run away constantly and hope for the best, or slow down to fight and lose all hope of keeping up with his adversary. Either one is just a slow way of losing. It takes awhile, because Superman and Surfer are very tough, but the Authorititans will win these fights. If they do need a little help, Midnighter's still firing the Purple Death Ray.

Faust is actually at the advantage against Atom. He can magically scrye for Ray's location, and magically summon him, immobilize him, and dispose of him.

Quicksilver can easily take down Spider-Man at superspeed, especially with magical/telepathic help from Faust/Wonder Woman.

Authorititans Win.
