User blog:Necron Jesus/"Die a Hero. Or Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become The Villain" Batman vs. General Shepherd



Some Characters may be a respected hero, but in the near future, if they live long enough, they may just live to become the despised villain.

Two characters are able to fill this quote perfectly.



Batman, Bruce Wayne lost his parents on his way home from a theatre, he then dedicated the rest of his life to serving justice in the city of Gotham. With the Batman persona, enlisting fear into the criminals of Gotham.

General Shepard, a man who lost all of his men in an unexpected nuclear explosion, in which, he made it his goal, to become a war hero.

When faced with a question like this, someone make ask themselves

WHO

IS

DEADLIEST?

General Shepherd


"The more things change, the more they stay the same. Boundaries shift, new players step in, but power always finds a place to rest its head. We fought and bled alongside the Russians. We shoulda known they'd hate us for it. History is written by the victor. And here I am, thinking we'd won. But you bring down one enemy and they find someone even worse to replace him. Locations change, the rationale, the objective. Yesterday's enemies are today's recruits. Train them to fight alongside you, and pray they don't eventually decide to hate you for it too."

— Shepherd ====Lieutenant General Shepherd, was an officer in the US Army during the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 eras. He was in command over the US Rangers, Task Force 141, and his own private legion Shadow Company. It is later revealed that he was actually the main antagonist. He had a desire for everyone to know of America's military might by starting a war against Russia. His betrayal is unearthed when he kills two Task Force 141 operatives named Simon "Ghost" Riley and Gary "Roach" Sanderson. He is later killed by another operative from the same task force named John "Soap" MacTavish.==== Combat Knife= Shepherd has used a combat knife before in combat, as a self defense weapon in case things get close. Introduced in 1990, the Colt Anaconda is a large frame double-action revolver featuring a full length under-barrel ejection-rod lug and six round cylinder, designed and produced by the Colt's Manufacturing Company. Chambered for the powerful .44 Magnum and .45 Colt centerfire ammunition cartridges, the Anaconda marked the Hartford, Connecticut firm’s first foray into the popular large-bore Magnum pistol market. This is Shepherd's most iconic weapon out of his arsenal. The M4 Carbine is a series of firearms based upon the design of the M16 rifle. It was designed to be a light version of the M16A2 with selective fire options. Created in the United States, the M4 was in service since 1997. The weapon is gas-operated, cooled by air, and has a telescoping stock. The carbine was created, like most carbines, to function like a rifle but have a lighter weight and greater portability. The M4 is slightly less accurate and has less stopping power. The carbine will later shift into the standard firearm for the American armed forces. 35 nations have the M4 as part of their arsenal and is widely used by both their armies and special forces. The Walther WA 2000 is a bullpup semi-sutomatic sniper rifle originating in West Germany. Only 176 of them were produced due to the high cost of the rifle. Shadow Company appears to be either a US black ops unit,special operations unit, or possibly even a private military company operating directly under the command of General Shepherd, serving as his personal security detail and operations force that carry out his orders without question, even if these orders involve breaking the law or killing their own men (such as when he betrayed Task Force 141). Shepherd will be protected by 14 Shadow Company Soldiers carrying their own weapons for this battle. Shepherd will be given a Humvee with a turret for the battle 3 of the Shadow Company soldiers are able to assist him here in using the vehicle.

Batman


"He’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight "

— Commissioner Gordon ====Bruce Wayne was only a child when he watched his parents gunned down by a criminal in a dark Gotham alley. Inheriting the huge amounts of money they left behind, Bruce began to travel the world to find himself, eventually coming under the tutelage of Ra's al Ghul, the leader of the League of Shadows. Under Ra's instruction, Bruce honed his body and mind and returned to Gotham with a new mission- to take on the symbol of a Bat, the creature that he once feared so much, to pray on the fear of the criminals that Gotham was haven to. Using his billions of dollars and connections, Bruce covertly had an arsenal of gadgets and vehicles crafted for him to allow him to become Batman.==== ====As Batman, Wayne has defended Gotham from numerous threats, including the Scarecrow, his evil one-time mentor Ra's al Ghul himself, The Joker, the district attorney turned immoral killer Harvey "Two-Face" Dent and the cruel Bane. ==== Gauntlets= Batman's gauntlets seem to have a few sharp ends. It's likely that they are to defend Bruce against someone using a sharp object like a knife or anything bladed for that matter. Batman's most iconic weapon, the batarangs in the Nolan films seem to be used as a stealth weapon due to their small size and effectiveness. Batman also has access to an EMP, the weapon is able to disable electronics such as lights and possibly even vehicles. Batman uses a grapple gun in order to throw his enemies around and get to higher places. Batman is able to communicate with Lucius Fox, via communications built inside the Batsuit's helmet. Lucius Fox can give Batman advice and use a type of vision to spot enemies through walls/ The Batpod is one of Batman's vehicles that he can use to maneuver around. The vehicle is basically a motorcycle with some serious firepower on it.

Shepherd                                                    X-Factor                                           Batman
                                         66                                                                    Physicality                                           73 ====                                Shepherd, no doubt, can fight well for his age, taking on John Price, a grizzled veteran and beating him down. Though, Batman is at a very young age compared to shepherd and is much more flexible.====

20                                                                      Brutality                                               10 ====                               This isn't really a hard one, Batman is brutal on criminals, maybe even making a few go mad, but he refuses to kill unless it is absolutely necessary. Shepherd, though he isn't really brutal at all, still murdered the members of Task Force 141 in cold blood, this should give him an advantage against Batman easily.==== 80                                                                       Experience                                            30 ====                                This should easily go to Shepherd, Batman has faced criminals with a plan and mercenaries, but he's never faced a trained soldier before, the closest would be a SWAT Operator or Ra's Al Ghul and Bane. But still, Shepherd is an aged Lieutenant which gives him a massive advantage against Batman who has only fought crime for a year, before he stopped.====

76                                                                           Skill                                                         76 ====                                 Both Batman and Shepherd get this one, Shepherd should be more skilled with weapons, while Batman should be more skilled up close with his martial arts training and stealth.====

 79                                                                             Intelligence                                             80 ====                                 Batman should be a tiny bit smarter, he usually has good ideas, and thinks of a plan. Shepherd mainly wants you well. Dead, not as fast as possible or slow and painful. Just dead. He's a great tactician, but some of his decisions weren't that great.====
