Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Monster Mash - 1800s Edition"

Weapons and Powers

Melee - Invisible Man

Barring Hyde's superhuman strength, the dagger takes this due to it's lethality. I'm certain that with Mr. Hyde's superior strength the cane will do some damage, but more times than not the dagger will end up landing a kill instead of breaking a bone. Both of them aren't particularly weildy with either weapon, so both of them will have opportunities to land hits, and with the dagger it'll make those hits that much harder.

Method of Killing - Mr. Hyde

Strangulation isn't exactly the smartest way to kill someone who can casually outmaneuver and beat up police officers. On the other hand, Hyde's method of killing compliments his powers, where going HAM on the Invisible Man will most likely kill him if he lands a hit. If Griffin used his knife to kill more often, this would be less of an issues, but as it is Hyde will mess him up if he follows his usual strategies, and he'll have to change it up if he wants to win this.

Powers - The Invisible Man

Invisibility is an incredibly powerful tactical ability to have in battle, and it'll keep Hyde from going crazy on Jack until he lands the first hit. While Hyde's strength and speed are impressive, if Griffin is careful he shouldn't know where his attacker is coming from in the first place, let alone fight back until Griffin has made the first move.

X- Factors & Verdict

Just to be straightforward, and to give Jack some credit to his intellect, I think he's smarter than to try and strangle Hyde after seeing how monstrous his opponent is. Considering this is at night, Griffin will have more opportunity to hide his knife and stalk Hyde, and I think he'll take no risks with dispatching his foe if he is given the chance. Hyde's recklessness and straightforward approach to combat will mean he'll be less cautious about his surroundings, and when all of that is put together, the real decider for this battle is whether Griffin can cripple or kill Hyde on his first attempted attack.

I'd say, more times than not, The Invisible Man will end up crippling or killing Hyde after a bit of maneuvering around and outsmarting Hyde. While a couple of hits from Hyde will most likely kill Jack, I think he'll get the jump of Hyde before the monster can really mess him up. I don't remember Hyde being particularly durable, and I don't see him reacting any differently to a knife in his back or throat differently than any other person, but correct me if I'm wrong.
