THE DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS OF JIGSAWS AND RIDDLES!


 * H2H-Even. Neither of these guys are huge Hand to Hand fighters, and mostly rely on their trickery, traps, and intellect to pull off their schemes and fight the Webcrawler and Dark Knight. Riddler's Cane packs greater length and arguably more force behind it, but Mysterio's blasteh hands has greater killing potential. Thus, making this one even for me.


 * Firearm-Riddler. The SW1911 packs a greater calibre round of .45 ACP rounds which will deal much more damage in the fight than the small 9mm rounds the Glock 17 is firing. SW1911 actually has a magazine capacity of 10 rounds, not 15, while the Glock 17 has, fittingly, 17 rounds per mag, easily beating out the SW1911 in terms of magazine, but what gets the Riddler's handgun the win is it's higher calibre and greater range.

'THE DEADLIEST PUZZLER-EDWARD NIGMA, THE RIDDLER! 'The Riddler wins. He's been at it with Batman longer than Mysterio has with Ultimate Spidey, and his outgoing effort to prove he's smarter than everyone will get the best of Mysterio and eventually get the Riddler the win in the fight. Overall, Riddler wins due to better weaponry, experience, and intelligence.
 * Explosive-Riddler. The Time Bomb only has slightly less range than the Pipe Bomb and lighter to carry around, so the Riddler's gang will most likely pack more in the fight. The Time Bomb can have a set time to explode, or can be triggered manually by the man in green himself, unlike the Pipe Bomb. The Time Bomb's versality and light weight containments get it the edge.
 * Special-Riddler. Mysterio would get this edge...if his gas was more practical. The Gas is emitting from his suit, and if Riddler and his Boys keep their distance, the Gas wouldn't effect them. The Knives can penetrate Mysterio's suit in all ranges to do being able to be thrown from a distance. Even then, Riddler wouldn't want to get in close range with his knives.
