User blog:HaydenStudios/Imhotep vs. Voldemort (re-match)

In one corner we have:

Imhotep, the ancient mummified power snatching priest who went from between life and death to immortality!

And in the other we have:

Voldemort, The immortal Dark Lord who overthrew the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts!

WHO...IS...DEADLIEST!?!?!?

Imhotep's Abilities
Imhotep is immortal; he cannot die. This also correlates to his invulnerability. Only if the god anubis takes away his powers, or if one reads from the book of Amun-Ra, can he be killed.
 * Immortality

Imhotep's strength much exceeds that of a man at his physical peek.
 * Super Human Strength

Mere bullets from a gun won't do crap against this guy. The most a shot gun will do is knock him back, and create a hole in his body. It will take special magic to damage him.
 * Invulnerability

Imhotep is able to become a mist of sand, engulf a man, and quite literally suck the flesh out of him.
 * Turn into Sand

Imhotep is able to move objects and people with mere gestures.
 * Telekinesis

Imhotep can summon a swarm of flesh-eating beetles capable of reducing a man to a skeleton in matter of seconds.
 * Insect Swarm

Imhotep is able to summon mummies who will fight for him.
 * Summon Mummies

Imhotep can control water, and wash away his opponent
 * Aquakinesis

If there are any powers that Imhotep possesses that I missed, then I will be happy to put them up here. Even if I never get around to putting them up here, they should be taken into consideration for possibly making him the deadlier warrior, as it's not fair to limit sorcerers to a set of powers that don't include all that are used in his movies.

Voldemort's Abilities
Only if all of Voldemort's soul is destroyed can he die. Conveniently for the dark lord, six other pieces of his soul are hidden in various magically guarded items around the world. Only if those are destroyed can Voldemort be killed.
 * Immortality

A green jet of light that instantly kills what ever living being it strikes. This is Voldemort's most immediate spell of choice. Though on occasion, he does play around a little with his opponent before killing him/her. Another important factor is that only extremely special magic can block this curse. Your average absorb or shield charm won't cut it.
 * The Killing Curse

An instantly effective curse that gives its victim the sensation of white-hot knives touching every inch if his/her skin.
 * The Cruciatus Curse

A curse which takes over the mind of its victim, and makes it do the caster's bidding.
 * The Imperius Curse

A huge figure of fire summoned to do the bidding of the caster. Immense amounts of fire can be used by wizards such as Voldemort. Often times, his fire takes the form of a snake.
 * Fiendish Fire

Control over water. Much like Imhotep. While it was actually Albus Dumbledore that did this, it is implied that Voldemort is equally matched with him, and that Voldemort is capable of any spell that other wizards of the Harry Potter universe are.
 * Aquakinesis

Pretty much the same as Imhotep.
 * Telekinesis

Voldemort can fly without the aid of a broomstick.
 * Flight

Voldemort can send immense shockwaves through incredibly large rooms, causing massive damage.
 * Shockwaves

That's not really the name of it, but that's basically what it is. It is a flood of black light that engulfs its prey. It is unknown what happens to its victim, but you probably don't want this to happen to you.
 * Dark Light of Deadliness

A curse that disintegrates what it strikes. For powerful wizards such a Voldemort, he can do this to objects of most any size.
 * Reductor Curse

Voldemort has shown the ability to transfigure objects of most every shape and size. On one occasion, he transfigured a whip of fire that wound around him into a serpent that did his bidding.
 * Transfiguration

Different in some respects from the imperius curse, this art is used to read and unhinge the mind of its victim. The only known defensive action against this is Occlumency.
 * Legilimency

Voldemort can talk to snakes, and win over their loyalty by simply speaking to them.
 * Parseltongue

A spell that disarms its opponent of any weapon. Voldemort has demonstrated the ability to even do this wandlessly, nonverbally, and without having to wait for the charm to hit his opponent.
 * Disarming Charm

The lightning generated by Voldemort has been known to obliterate a strong enchantment around the entire Hogwarts grounds.
 * Lightning

Voldemort is able to summon most any object.
 * Summoning

This makes Voldemort invisible.
 * Dillusionment Charm

Instant teleportation to another location, whether nearby, or far away. While for most wizards there is a loud snap with each apparation, Voldemort is one of only two wizards in the Harry Potter universe known to be able to do it silently.
 * Apparation

He is able to vanish most anything. The object vanished is sent into oblivion. While it will be implied that Imhotep's mere magic prowess will prevent Voldemort from doing it to him, it will be implied that he can do it to mummies that Imhotep summons.
 * Vanishing Charms

There's still a lot more that Voldemort can do, but most of it he doesn't use very often. Even so, I think I covered the bulk of it. Any other ability of his, or any other wizard in the Harry Potter universe can count for Voldemort in helping him be the deadlier warrior, as it's not fair to limit sorcerers to a set of powers that don't include all that are used in his movies or books.

My Edges
So, comparing edges of sorcerers with natural abilities will be a bit different from warriors who use power suits, or have guns, since the amount of abilities may vary. My way of doing so is naming off all the abilities of the warrior with fewer abilities, and seeing how the warrior with more abilities would react to that, and then including additional factors.

Immortality

Both warriors are immortal. In my opinion, it's very unreliable to be able to be immediately done away with if someone simply reads from a book, even if it's in a dead language. Whereas for Voldemort, you have to destroy six different magically guarded objects that you need very special items to destroy. Only if you've done that will Voldemort be mortal again. Even supposing you do this though, you still have to worry about killing Voldemort.

Imhotep's Super Human Strength

Voldemort won't be able to beat Imhotep in a fist fight, but that's never how he fights. Even supposing the two were up close, Voldemort could just apparate to a more distant position.

Imhotep's Invulnerability

Basically, stunning curses will do very little. Now in this fight Imhotep will be able to die. See the restrictions below. While Voldemort's killing curse will not kill Imhotep, it's definitely going to mess him up in some way she perform.

Imhotep's Ability to Turn into Sand

Voldemort has actually shown to assume a similar form, as in a mist of black smoke. He could also blow him away with a shock wave most likely, or perhaps ward him off with his dark light of deadliness.

Telekinesis

Both warriors have telekinesis. The most Voldemort has been seen doing is wandlessly and nonverbally slumping aside a dead giant's carcass. The most Imhotep has been seen doing is levitation people. While that which Voldemort has done exceeds that of Imhotep, Imhotep's minor uses of telekinesis appeared to be practically effortless. For the purpose of this fight, it will be implied that both warriors have equal amount of telekinetic power.

Imhotep's Insect Swarm

Fire has been known to easily do away with these beetles, and Voldemort has been able to summon immense amounts of fire. He'd easily be able to counteract the beetles.

Imhotep's Mummy Summoning

Since these are summoned, it will be assumed that Voldemort can easily vanish them, or use a reductor curse on them.

Aquakinesis

Both warriors have aquakinesis. While Imhotep's use of this far exceeded that which was performed in the Harry Potter series, there both uses were only using the water which was provided within the area. In the scene in Harry Potter, there was only a fountain available at the moment. Whereas at the instance in which Imhotep used it, he had an entire ocean at his disposal. Therefore, it will be assumed that the two warriors have equal aquakinetic power.

My Overall Edge
Additional factors:

Voldemort almost always uses his killing curse. While this will not kill the immortal Imhotep, it's definitely going to mess him up. He also often uses the Crutiatus Curse, which sends its victim to the floor, and takes him some time to recover from before getting to his feet, which is going to buy Voldemort a lot of time. His Reductor Curse, Fiendish Fire, Shockwaves, Dark Light of Deadliness, Transfiguration, Apparation, Lightning, and generally wider range of spells is going to make this much easier for him. In case you haven't already guessed, my personal edge goes to Voldemort.

Please note that while I am rooting for Voldemort, there will be minimal defending of either warriors by yours truly in the comments. Nothing much beyond the scope of dispelling rumors, or saying why I think the restrictions below are fair.

Restrictions
Unfortunately, somebody has to lose. There are some things that are going to be banned in this fight. Don't worry, it won't be anything too unreasonable!

Immortality
In this fight, Voldemort will have no horcruxes left. That way, he can die in this fight. To make this fair, Imhotep will have his immortality partially revoked. While he will retain his powers, and he'll still be able to die, the killing curse won't instantly kill him. But as stated above, it's still going to mess him up. This fight will ultimately come down to who is the more powerful sorcerer. It is implied that Voldemort can eventually kill Imhotep by magically overwhelming him, or vice versa if the wiki votes otherwise.

Voldemort's Imperius Curse/Legilimency
While Imhotep has no training whatsoever in Occlumency, the only known defense against Legilimency, it will be implied that due to Imhotep's magical power, he will be resistant to any form of Legilimency or the Imperius Curse that Voldemort can throw at him. This does not apply, however, to his possibly summoned mummies or beetles.

Voldemort's Reductor Curse
It will be implied that Voldemort won't be able to instantly win the battle by casting a quick and cheap Reductor Curse on Imhotep. While it's only fair that this will take a chunk out of Imhotep, this will not instantly end the fight. Imhotep's semi invulnerability plays a factor in this. Imhotep's summoned beetles and mummies, on the other hand, will be able to fall prey to this.

Voldemort's Vanishing/Transfiguration
It will be implied that Voldemort will not be able to instantly transfigure or vanish Imhotep. Note that the same thing does not apply to any beetles or mummies that Imhotep might have summoned.

Voting
Votes that merely state the name of the warrior will not count at all. Nor will copy votes, regardless of how thorough the vote with which it's agreeing is. Votes that are really bad or do a lot of bashing will not be counted either. Votes that have some effort put into them but don't quite do it for me will be counted as half votes. Votes with good and strong reasons that mention both warriors will be counted in full. If I see a vote that is really thorough but either doesn't provide any good or strong reasons, bashes one warrior in excess, or just says a bunch of things that aren't true, I reserve the right to deem that vote as either none, or as half. Anyway, let the voting begin!
