Undead RVD's "Ugly vs Geek" Edges:

Melee: I'm going with Boris here. He may be lacking in arms but his one arm is crazy strong. Also, he can get close enough and bite Ock in the neck and kill him quickly. Overall, when up close, Boris wins. Mid Range: This is a toughy. The Parasite is deadly as it can shoot spikes with great range while Ock has 4 shorter-ranged tentacles that attack faster. I must say, having more attacks is great but I prefer range. Doc doesn't have super-human senses and the parasite shoots the spikes silently (it's an organic weapon so I suspect it fires things quietly) so in application, the parasite will allow shooting him from behind a winning tactic. Weaknesses: Of the two, missing an arm isn't that mush of a problem. As he isn't using any hand-held weapons, Boris can use his hand freely and with out limitation. Also comes to the fact that having one thing missing may enhance what you have. Boris will likely adapt to fighting with one arm and not be flawed by his weakness. Also, if Dock's testicles get out of his control (breaking one's concentration isn't that hard), they may prove to be uncooperative and grant Boris an opening. Of the Two, having a weapon that can end up getting me killed or losing a limb but adapt to it to make me better, a missing limb doesn't seem that bad. X-Factors: Dock Ock defiantly is the smarter of the two, as he is a gifted scientist. Boris, however, is older and has been doing big scale crimes for a longer while. He is also harder to hurt as he is naturally stronger than humans and Ock's body isn't beyond human. Also, Ock isn't that much of a strategist. His intellect is in technology and not in stratagy. Boris was quite smart in using a time device to bring his past self into the future to kill Agent K. Really, Boris is much more of a killer. Doc is a scientist and can't apply his intellect into a fight as well while Boris' know-how may help him more in the fight. Overall: This is just my opinion but I feel Boris should win. He is a better killer and vastly more brutal one too. Dock is a scientist but he isn't a natural-born killer like Boris. He is not as experienced nor as physically powerful (his tentacles are powerful but Ock is still flabby flesh). I probably won't convince anyone but this is just my two-cents.
