Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgy Edgines-AMERICA!


 * Weapons- Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider has been shown before to not really give the slightest of shits about getting stabbed, shot, blown up or run over. Scorpion's spear and blades are wielded impressively, but they've got no chance of actually harming the Rider. On the other hand, Ghost Rider's chain can do everything the Spear can do and then some thanks to Ghost Rider's higher level of Hellfire manipulation and its variable length, and the mobility and power provided by his motorcycle make him significantly more dangerous.


 * Powers- Ghost Rider. Both of these warriors use Hellfire in their attacks- but there's one major, major difference between their uses: Ghost Rider is actually composed of Hellfire and thus immune to it. Scorpion, at least until he rips off his mask to perform a Toasty fatality, is not composed of Hellfire and has been dipicted as being able to be hurt by it. Considering how vital Hellfire is to Scorpion's attacks- not just for enhancing his moves but casually used during combos of regular strikes, this is a huge problem for the ninja. Furthermore, Ghost Rider's healing allows him to bounce back in seconds, while Scorpion can be mortally and brutally wounded to the point where he can't fight, and has to retreat to the NetherRealm for a comparively long period of time. Yes, he can return, but its a long enough period of time that a singular battle is still a win forGhost Rider. Finally, people here saying the Penance Stare probably won't work on Scorpion are mad wack, yo. Penance Stare preys on those who have a great deal of self-doubt, regret and personal turmoil- and Scorpion is practically composed of those things. Scorpion has never done a thing in his very long life that hasn't lead to others' suffering and his deep regret- and a Penance Stare would absolutely devestate him as he would not only suffer all that pain and turmoil- from the death of his family, to his wrongful killing of Sub-Zero, to his being used by the Elder Gods like a tool- the amount that he regrets of all it would only amplify the effect the Stare has in battle.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Ghost Rider. Blaze should take this battle relatively easily. Yes, Scorpion can't exactly die, but the Rider bounces back far quicker, while Scorpion will require extended downtime to get by. Ghost Rider wields more effective weaponry, has more damaging powers, and is immune to Scorpion's most used and most effective gimmick.
