User blog:Pygmy Hippo 2/Carnage (Marvel Comics) vs. Nui Harime (Kill La Kill)

About five years ago, I showed a Death Battle thumbnail of this fight to my first crush and in that time, no Death Battle version of this was made. So Deadliest Fiction's very own Hippoman is finally pitting two of comics and anime's most dangerous psychopaths against each other. Both have similar powers thanks to the alien lifeforms in their bodies and both are the main foe of a black clothed version of themselves. Anyways enough of the terrible intro, let's see who's Deadliest!

Carnage, the symbiote that bonded with the psychopathic serial killer Cletus Kasady!

Nui Harime, the Grand Couturier made from Life Fibers who wields the weapon of her slain foe!

Carnage (Marvel Comics)
"I was hollowed out inside...empty...just like my other. We were both sick...because we were incomplete...but not anymore. We healed each other...made each other whole. Neither one of us can survive without the other. Forget host. Forget symbiote. There is only Carnage."

Bio:Carnage, real name Cletus Kasady, is a serial killer who bonnded with an alien symbiot. Mainly operating in New York City, he has been a major enemy of Spider-Man.

Cletus had a troubled and tortuous childhood of being beat and molested by his father, hated by his mother who loved her dog more than him, killing his grandmother by pushing her down a flight of stairs, and torturing his mother's dog who afterwards tries to kill him and is apparently beaten to death by his father, who receives no defense from Kasady during his trial. He was sent to a camp where he caused mayhem by putting smoke bombs in the girl's cabin. Kasady was hiding but was noticed by Billy Bentine, which later took the blame which caught Kasady completely by surprise.

As an orphan, Kasady is sent to the St. Estes Home for Boys, where his antisocial behaviour makes him the target of abuse from both the other orphans and the staff. Kasady vindicates himself by murdering the disciplinarian administrator and burning down the orphanage. When Cletus goes to school he gets a girlfriend who later leaves him when he drops out of school.

As an adult he became a serial killer, to show everyone that laws are just words, and you can do anything you want up to and including murder if you just have the guts. He is captured and sent to Ryker's Island prison where he shares a cell with Eddie Brock, who had lost his alien symbiote. Brock's symbiote soon returns and bonds with him again, and unwittingly leaves behind the symbiote's offspring. This Venom offspring spilled into a cut on Cetus', thus bonding with his blood and transforming him into Carnage. Having escaped the prison, Carnage began to use his powers to continue to commit murder.-DF Wiki

Weapons-

Red-and-Black Symbiotic Costume: While this is Cletus Kasady's only weapon, it's one of the most versatile in the Marvel universe. He can make webbing to swing around for mobility or incapacitating any normal human but even worse is the fact that he can make tentacles to attack or capture victims, multiple spikes for projectiles, and blades like axes for melee combat. While the latter disintegrates in half a minute after being seperated from the symbiote, I haven't even mentioned his naturally sharp fangs and claws yet for basic weaponry or that it can regenerate from his blood. The only thing that permanently destroyed this was atmospheric reentry.

Abilities-

Symbiote Physicality:Carnage has repeatedly proven he is stronger than Spider-Man and Venom even when teamed up so he should theoretically be able to lift 80 tons but the heaviest thing he's lifted is a 50 ton tank. Cletus can travel two miles in a couple seconds and is also faster than Venom who can move faster than bullets. But perhaps Kasady's most impressive feats are in endurance where he's survived being ripped in half by the Sentry, Iron Man's energy blasts, and a gene bomb although that was made to kill humans and he can fight for 24 hours.

Regenerative Healing Factor:So you got past the Carnage symbiote and hit Cletus himself, bad news, he can heal almost anything, limbs, organs, his head, and even his entire lower body in mere seconds, the last one took a while though. He's also immune to any disease on Earth although that's useless in this fight.

Other Powers:Carnage can move at top speed over pretty much any surface using wall crawling, turn itself into any outfit Cletus could possibly want for camouflage purposes, sense any threat nearby the symbiote and block abilities like the Spider Sense, make himself small enough to travel through internet wiring or eat enough nutrients to become town sized and mind control even members of the Avengers if Spider-Man didn't use chemicals to take these last powers away. Still, even if the former abilities aren't as powerful, they provide interesting options.

Nui Harime (Kill La Kill)
"Hate and love are two sides of the same coin. It's like a finely-tailored suit with food sturdy stiching. In other words, the deeper the hatered, the deeper the love goes."

Bio:Nui Harime (針目縫 Harime Nui?) is the secondary antagonist in Kill la Kill. She is the Grand Couturier of the Revocs Corporation, as well as the murderer of Isshin Matoi, from whom she took one half of the Scissor Blade. For this reason, she is the one Ryūko Matoi seeks to kill in order to complete her quest of vengeance. She is known for cute appearance, sadistic yet childish nature, and incredible fighting power.

Nui was born about 17 years before the events of the series proper, following Ragyō Kiryūin's failed attempt to fuse her newborn daughter with Life Fibers. Concluding that a child born by a human could not properly merge with Life Fibers, Ragyō created an artificial Life Fiber womb from the mass of the Original Life Fiber, within which Nui was grown. Upon reaching her full development, Nui was raised by Ragyō as a servant of the Life Fibers, becoming the Grand Couturier of the Kiryūin Conglomerate (and of REVOCS as a whole).

Six months before the events of the series, Nui was sent to the Matoi Residence by Ragyō in search of Isshin Matoi's secret creation. After a short battle, Isshin unveiled the Scissor Blades to use against Nui. However, Nui overwhelmed the scientist and stabbed him repeatedly. Before she could deliver the final blow, Nui was distracted by the sound of Ryūko calling for her father, allowing Isshin to destroy her left eye with the purple Scissor Blade. Infuriated by this, Nui impaled Isshin to the wall with the red Scissor Blade, taking the purple blade for herself before planting a bomb in the Matoi Residence and making her escape.

Unbeknownst to Nui, her actions planted the seeds of defeat for Ragyō's ultimate plan. Not only did Isshin successfully trick her into ignoring his real secret project, Kamui Senketsu, but his last act in life would encourage Ryūko to take up the red Scissor Blade and seek out the one who killed her father.

Weapons-

Purple Scissor Blade:Nui Harime's stolen primary weapon is basically an extremely sharp one-handed sword that can cut through Life Fibers and nullify their regenerative capabilities although Senketsu came back from getting cut to shreds. She has an additional double-sided Scythe Mode that is apparently powerful enough to sink a carrier ship but she never got to use it.

Parasol:Nui's other weapon is a simple umbrella that can take several hits from Goku Uniform wearers without breaking and knock people out of her way so she can get to more suitable targets.

Abilities-

Life Fiber Physicality:Nui Harime is much stronger than she looks being able to beat Ryuko Matoi in combat early in the series and still managed to fight her equally after she got more powerful for a while along with easily defeating the Elite Four. The Grand Couturier was also faster than Ryuko who could react to tennis balls (seriously) at Mach 4528 speed and managed to cover her body with tacking needles in a fight. And of course, she's not easy to put down either as the Elite Four and early series Matoi's best attacks did nothing to her and can work for a month and still be able to fight at her full potential.

Regeneration:Nui Harime has an incredible healing factor as well which can repair wounds and enable her to put her limbs and head back on if she loses them with no consequences. The only ways to get past this is to use specialized weaponry like the Scissor Blades or cut the Life Fibers from two different sides at the same time. Even then, she only died by her own hands due to decapitating herself for her mother's plan.

Other Powers:Mon-Mignon Prét-a-Porter isn't just a French word, it's Nui Harime's ability to make several weaker clones of herself to take down opponents with superior numbers or confuse them. She can unleash Life Fibers from her hands to mind control weaker foes and completely transform into someone else, even of the opposite gender. She can fly helicopters with ease, is such a great sewer that she can do it without her arms which Ryuko cut off, and can not only spot Banshis easily which are what hold Life Fiber clothing together but also quickly remove them with her fingernail hooks.

X-Factors
Experience:Cletus Kasady killed several people over the years and after he became Carnage, he became a real nightmare who's defeated Spider-Man, Venom, and Deadpool and has often required several super powered individuals to defeat him in combat, the only one who defeated him single-handedly was The Sentry. The Grand Couturier only started fighting and killing recently with her victory over Isshin Matoi, but Nui Harime still has beaten Ryuko Matoi and the Elite Four on several occasions, she only lost to Ryuko after the latter was fully synchronized with Senketsu and they had three battles before that.

Intelligence:Carnage may be crazy but he's deviously cunning with him getting away with several murders as a child, forming a team of villains like him to combat Spider-Man and Venom, devouring other symbiotes to significantly increase his size or to create a copy of himself. Nui Harime is playful but she taunted Ryuko Matoi into becoming a berserk monster, tricked her into thinking she was a completely different person, hijacked Satsuki Kiryuin's private helicopter, and feigned a mortal injury in one of her later battles.

Weaknesses:As previously mentioned, Carnage is an insane bloodthirsty psychopath always looking for chaos and he's been used for others' plans before but he's also not a skilled fighter, relying on his powers instead of a proper fighting style, and is weak to sonic and heat-based attacks. As previously mentioned, it's not impossible to dismember Nui Harime even without specialized weaponry and her playful nature causes her to underestimate opponents but even worse is that she if she starts losing, she'll lose her cool and rely more on fury than swordsmanship or psychological warfare.
