User blog:Lasifer/Clash of Comics: The Joker vs. Green Goblin

This week on Deadliest Fiction, we take another look at the eternal war between the vanguards of the comic medium. They say that a hero is only as good as the villains that he must overcome, and no men display this fact more than than the amazing, spectacular Spider-Man and the dark knight, caped crusader Batman. The Joker- the clown prince of crime who's violent madness brought the city of Gotham to its knees in terror time and time again. VERSUS! The Green Goblin- the brilliant business man who made Spider-Man's life hell and played the whole Marvel Universe. When these brutal, brilliant, violent men enter combat only one can be...the DEADLIEST WARRIOR!!!!



WHO'S READY FOR A GOOD LAUGH?

BWHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

X-Factors
Joker/Goblin

90-INTELLIGENCE-90 

The Joker and Norman Osborn both possess genius level intelligence, create their own brutal tools of war and regularly have mental battles of cat and mouse with hyper intelligent beings while staying one-step ahead or winning against these foes. Both are also held back slightly by their insanity, which causes them to focus on eccentric and maniacal ideas that are far less efficient.

60-STRENGTH-120

The Joker may be able to hold his own in a fist fight, but is not exactly a champion fighter. His power lies in his mad mind and diabolic tools of war, not his raw strength. Norman Osborn was originally just an average man, but the Goblin Serum that made him the super villain he is today genetically increased his strength, allowing him to take on Spider-Man and Luke Cage in their full unrestrained power with ease.

80-ENDURANCE-120

Green Goblin's serum enhanced his resistance to physical pain as much as it did his strength, making him a tough to take down, though his endurance is not anywhere on the level of people who have enhanced endurance as a primary trait. The Joker is infamous for taking ungodly amounts of punishment without silencing his laughter or stopping him, but the truth of the matter is that he is still a normal man. A normal man who has an incredibly increased tolerance for pain through sheer experience, but he can take no more damage before falling than any other person. Green Goblin also has a minor healing factor.

90-TACTICS-80

The Joker's primary strength is in his ability to plan and out-move his opponents with incredibly complex and hard to follow plans, many of which result in him getting fairly close to his goals. While Norman is certainly able to have moments of tactical brilliance, such as his rise to power with HAMMER, they are balanced out with his more stupid moments, such as sending his army to invade the Norse God's kingdom, Asgard. Norman's random moments of tactical brilliance and tactical stupidity balance out and drag him down in this category.

90-WEAPON USE-100

Both of these men are masters of their own personal arsenals, but Joker frequently screws around with his weaponry, using gags instead of real lethal weaponry or just plain firing randomly and spraying at things to look intimidating.

100-CREATIVITY-90

Both of these villains have a flair for the dramatic and use incredibly unique weaponry- the Joker's tactics and weapons, however, are usually more bizarre and wacky than the more practical weaponry of the Goblin. The Joker's madness is also usually portrayed as making him a more creative sociopath, while Norman's madness is more often portrayed as crippling.

100-BRUTALITY-100

<p style="text-align:center;">There is nothing that these men won't do, no line they won't cross and no goal to brutal for them.

<p style="text-align:center;">70-SPEED-110

<p style="text-align:center;">The Joker is a rather spry and lanky fellow who can move pretty fast when he needs to, but he's certainly no Olympian-level athlete. The Goblin Serum enhanced Norman's speed to superhuman levels, allowing him to move faster than a man at peak physical condition. With his tools, the Goblin's speed is enhanced even further, using various grappling and glider technologies to keep up with his arch-nemesis.

<p style="text-align:center;">100-EXPERIENCE-100

<p style="text-align:center;">Both of these men have fought thousands of conceivable enemies of every shape and size, and both of them have even threatened the entire world more than once. They have both been active for numerous decades as well.
