User blog:Pygmy Hippo 2/Negan (The Walking Dead) vs. War Face ('68)

Zombies are used so much that they've become a cliche. But every series has it's heroes like Leon S. Kennedy of Resident Evil, Saeko Busujima of High School of the Dead, and Ash Williams of Evil Dead but every good hero needs a counterpart. A villainous rival that in the post apocalyptic world revels in the carnage and these two psychopaths just so happen to be part of Image Comics' two best undead stories.

Negan, the leader of the Saviors and Rick Grimes (TV Series)'s greatest challenge so far!

War Face, the crazed soldier who created an army of the living dead and killed Jungle Jim!

Who is Deadliest?

Negan


"We are going to war!"

Bio:Negan is the leader of the Saviors, a group of armed thugs harassing other groups during the zombie apocalypse. Negan is shown to be a cruel, highly intelligent, charismatic, manipulative, brutal and ferocious sociopathic man with a sarcastic, inappropriate sense of humour. Negan is a brilliant strategist and a strong, effective leader, having kept hundreds of people alive and is worshipped by many and feared by others. He appears to have complete control over his vast group and is questioned by no one, acting as a complete tyrant. Negan acts like a cult leader, as the Saviors all kneel in his presence and when asked who they are, they all respond in unison "Negan". Negan appears to care about the well-being of his group as shown when he personally killed Abraham as punishment for the slaughter of many of his soldiers at the hands of Rick and his group.

Weapons-

Short Range:Hunting Knife and Lucille

Negan's knife might be 12.5 inches, 1.5 lbs, and serrated but his favorite weapon will always be Lucille. With a top wrapped in barbed wire and 36 inches long while only weighing 30 oz., it's no wonder the skull crusher is feared.

Mid Range:Desert Eagle Mk. VII

Negan's personal sidearm has 8 .44 Magnum rounds with a range of 50 m and a velocity of 460 m/s.

Long Range:Customized AR-15

The Saviors all have a differently customized assault rifle that has a range of 500 m and a velocity of 884 m/s. It's got a clip of 30 5.56×45mm rounds.

Special Weapon:Stryker Crossbow

Taken from Daryl Dixon, this single-shot weapon fires a 3 ft bolt at a velocity of 250 m/s.

War Face


"Take the pain...and put on your War Face!"

Bio:David A. Kierney was a Junior Officer in the United States Navy who was the only survivor of a river patrol boat that was ambushed by zombies and Viet Cong. He was soon found by two Navy SEALs and followed them. After being insulted by the head SEAL, he went mad and killed a Vietnamese family before he killed the SEALs and skinned the leader's face off. He painted it like the US flag and wore it over his own face before deciding to keep the war going in Vietnam. To do so, he needed soldiers and he found the perfect candidates in the living dead. Under his new name, War Face, he trained an army of Star Pupils into not only not attacking him but also how to use weapons. After attacking a group of soldiers that Jungle Jim was defending, he managed to trick the iconic hero and impaled him through the back with a machete. His fate was soon sealed afterwards by a German Shepherd mauling him and an air strike destroying what was left of his army.

Weapons-

Short Range:KA-BAR Knife and Machete

Both of War Face's blades are iconic for different kills, his 11.8 inches long, 1.23 lbs serrated knife used to skin the Navy SEAL leader and his 18 inches, 1 lb machete killed the legendary Jungle Jim.

Mid Range:Colt M1911

Kierney's personal sidearm has 7 .45 ACP rounds with a range of 70 m and a velocity of 251 m/s.

Long Range:AK-47

The Star Pupils have an assault rifle that has a range of 400 m and a velocity of 715 m/s. It's got a clip of 30 7.62×39mm rounds.

Special Weapon:Zombie Physicality

The majority of the army is undead which enables them access to all of the bite force, grip strength, and endurance of an average zombie.

X-Factors
Mental Health:Negan might be a remorseless killer but he's more stable than Kierney who's wearing somebody's face and leads an army of the undead.

Group Loyalty:The Saviors are akin to a cult but the blind hunger of the Star Pupils has been harnessed perfectly and tempered into an army.

Tactics:This is close. Kierney has his US Navy training but tends to rely on wave tactics and trickey to suceed. Negan might not have any formal training but he's a master at stealth and psychological warfare.
