User blog comment:Monkey Doctor 33/Season 4 Opening! The Demon vs the Skrull!/@comment-24.229.228.144-20170129220529

Alright, as a fan of Marvel and DC (yes I like both even though they're rivals,) I think I'll cast my vote.

Super Strength vs. Super Strengths: Ok, while both of them are very strong, I'm gonna say Etrigan wins. The reason is that while the opponents they've fought are equally powerful, some of Super Skrull's such as Silver Surfer and Nova's power comes more from cosmic energy not brute strength. And also, Thor and Superman are likely to hold back against opponents like these respectively, but Lobo, who's as powerful as Superman, wouldn't. Also, killing a demon that nearly killed Wonder Woman (who nearly overpowered a bloodlusted Superman at one point) is a high indicator of what he can do. Plus Kl'rt is ranked as relatively lower in lifting power. Edge: Etrigan

Super Durability vs. Super Durability: Ok, here it seems like Etrigan can reattach limbs and loves pain... but it still seems like he can feel it, and surviving punches and magic nukes is not that impressive compared to not being afraid of moon destruction point blank (especially since the Specter's power is more magic/cosmic than direct strength.) Also, it seems like overall it takes a little more force to affect Super Skrull than Etrigan. Edge: Super Skrull

Super Stamina vs. Super Stamina: They seem relatively even. While Kl'rt can feel more fatigue, as I noted before, he tends to take more hits than Etrigan. But Etrigan's inability to feel fatigue evens it out. Also, as mentioned, Super Skrull has shields. SO I think that gives him the edge. Edge: Super Skrull

Super Speed vs. Super Speed: Etrigan is just much faster than Super Skrull. While it may seem that Super Skrull has better reflexes, which he does, Etrigan is just so much fater, if Superman (who's faster than Thor and Surfer (I don't think he could kill them, but I do think he's much faster)) noted that Etrigan was really fast, he could possibly speed blitz Super Skrull. Edge: Etrigan

Accelerated Healing vs. Invisibility: I think this one would be even, because both are passive abilities with a lot of use. But... Etrigan has advanced senses. He could detect Super Skrull. So invisibility is rendered useless. Edge: Etrigan

Enhanced Senses vs. Force Fields: While the enhanced senses are good for tracking down people... that's it. The Force Field is just a much better tool, it can be used offensively or defensively to great effect, and counter several of Etrigan's advantages, where as the senses only counter one of Kl'rt's. Edge: Super Skrull

Claws and Fangs vs. Pyrokinesis: Etrigan can claw you... okay. Super Skrull can make constructs, absorb fire, and shoot powerful blasts that incinerate other Super Skrulls. Do I need to explain? Edge: Super Skrull

Hellfire vs. Plasticity: So, soul attacks vs. constructs and stretching... but wait, wouldn't stretching closer to Etrigan and trying to surround him make himself more vulnerable to the Hellfire? Yes, it would. Also, I don't think fire absorbtion protects the soul. Edge: Etrigan

Magic vs. Hypnotism: Is this even a question? Summoning, teleportation, precognition, and forcefields vs. something that can't even work in this context. Edge: Etrigan

X-Factors: When it comes to experience, I think this easily goes to Etrigan. We KNOW he's thousands of years old (actually, in DC, hell demons are technically not THAT much younger than the multiverse (yes I said multiverse) while the Skrulls are.) And there's a chance Etrigan could be older, as Merlin summoned him a few thousand years ago, but we don't know if that's when he was made or not. So I think that whiel the opponents they fought are even(ish) Etrigan's age gives him the edge there. He also gets brutality for obvious reasons. And in my opinion training because while it may be just as vague as Kl'rt's training, we can assume it was longer because I don't think soldier training lasts thousands of years. Super Skrull does take Intelligence however. But that doesn't help him win here. Edge: Super Skrull

So here's how I see the edges. Etrigan is faster, stronger, better trained, more experienced, and in my opinion has better powers. But Super Skrull is smarter, more durable, more ranged, more likely to survive in a war of attrition, and much more adaptable with his powers.

However, the problem is that some of Kl'rt's powers won't work on a demon, and his stretching attacks put him at MUCH more of a disadvantage because of the claws, strength, and hellfire. Also, Super Skrull is likely to get hurt by hellfire severely because he doesn't know what it is and will likely try to absorb it. Also, if he tries invisibility Etrigan can still detect him. If he tries to overwhelm him with strength, he'll lose. While the brain damaging force field could kill Etrigan, Etrigan could just teleport away or summon more demons.

So while I like Super Skrull more, I have to give it to Etrigan.

The Winner is Etrigan
