Lets see shall we

Sergent South vs Raijin 

Abilities/Weapons: Sergent south's shield should allow him to directly stop or at least lessen the damage done by Raijins electrical attacks. The storms will certainly mess him up though as well as most of the the Order but if he's not careful he could also do major damage to his own teammates. In terms of weaponry South's shield should be able to prevent most of these weapons from having much of an effect while his super human reflexes should allow him to dodge most of the blows that will make it past. His martial art skills will also give him a huge advantage in one on one combat. This seems like an easy win for south right. Actually no. While he certainly is the better fighter he just won't be able to deal with the sheer unpredictability of Raijin's storms and if played correctly he could end the battle before it begins.However once south can close the gap or if he can prevent raijin from using his storms then he should be able to beat him in one on one combat when his weaponry and martial art skills will have more of an effect. Edge Even

X Factors: Sergent South takes the majority of these only losing out on durability including important ones such as speed, strength, reflexes and training even if some are only by a slim majority. Raijin can only really win out in durability as mentioned before but even so it's not by a whole lot and his weakness to water is an easy way to exploit this added durability. Edge Sergent South 

Leadership: This is an easy win for Sergent South. Both have lead before but south's is from a more formal and controlled enviroment and he is used to commanding and utilising dicipline and has a much better grasp of giving as well as getting respect. Raijin is too brutal and will demand respect without giving any in return which will not bode well especially with other villianous people being commanded by him. Edge Sergent South 

Overall: Sergent south is the all round more balanced and well rounded fighter. He may not have the sheer unpredictability and raw power of raijin but his combat skills are more developed and his leadership skills far surpass those of raijin. Raijin is more of a glass cannon, he's powerful sure but his power is just as damaging to his own team as it is to the others and he will ethier be really effective or not very with little leeway inbetween. Leadership is really what takes the cake here though and south is just far more efficient at it and has the added bonus of not having to control complete psychopaths such as Paul, Morris and Madeline who are less likely to obey orders and most of the villian team are not going to take well to being treated as inferior which is the style of leadership raijin is used to using.

Winner: Sergent South 

Morris vs Achilles

Abilities/Weapons: Achilles is clearly the more diverse warrior here with a wider variety of weaponry and skills as well as being tactically gifted. Morris is the basic tank, strong, durable and hard to stop. Achillies can certainly do damage with his weaponry as well as keeping morris at bay with his exploding arrows. Sheer strength though is something that cannot be ignored and Morris is a very strong induvidual and a punch or grapple could break or damage bones something which could put achilles out of the fight. Achilles takes this catagory nonetheless as the variety of his skills and training make him a tough opponent for any opponent to face let alone an anger prone dumbass with too much strength for his own good. Edge Achilles 

X Factors: At first glance Achillies does seem to win this catagory until you look into the x factors more. Agility, Reflexes and Co-Operation may be widely contrasting but the rest are rather close. Experiance and Training are almost equal as are Skill and Durability. However as mentioned before Morris's strength is a key factor and one which can ultimatly end the battle very quickly. One punch will send achilles flying and if morris manages to get him into a choke hold or grapple and he could be in trouble very quickly. His arrogance also works against him and if the gods decide to abandon him midfight then he is as good as dead. It's these two factors especially that make me give this as a draw. Edge Even 

Overall: This is going to be a tough one. There's no denying it, Achilles is simply the better warrior, he's better trained, more skilled, more varied and less emotionally and psychologicaly unstable. However as mentioned before all his power relies solely on the gods whom could very easily take away his powers should be get too arrogant and this is practically a death sentance. Morris is a flawed induvidual of course but his Durability and Strength are too great to be ignored and his combat experiance, while certainly not as great or varied as achilles, has still prepared him for facing super human opponents on a one on one basis and this tips the balance into a very close matchup. I know achilles is the better warrior overall and this is probeley my own bias speaking but I honestly believe that this could wind up being much closer than some people think. Both have the ability to end the fight quickly, both have fatal flaws and both could still be trading blows long after all other battles are over. Achilles has more chance of achieving victory but Morris cannot be discounted as a formidable opponent. It is these reasons that i'm callling this one even.

Winner: Tie
