Elgb's "Damn Those Muscles... Just... DAMN!!!" EDGES!!!

Team Leader: I was initially leaning towards Bane here because of his superior strength that allows him to rip apart buildings like they were nothing more than Ed Sheeran posters, but that's the only advantage he has. Hellscream, besides his awesome frigging name, carries an axe, and while he's not as strong as Bane, his strength maybe just be enough to allow him to go toe to toe with the baackbreaker, without any side-effects that Bane will be suffering due to his strength. Also, Hellscream is just a better tactician and leader of men. Bane is smart, but he doesn't really lead the Assassins as much as he controls him. So yeah its common sense, the guy who wons the "Team Leader" category is they guy who actually "leads" people. EDGE: Iron Horde

Second in Command. Well, as a Deathstroke fan myself I have to give this to Slade Wilson. Black Hand is a great leader and fighter. And I dorespect his weapons and superhuman physicality. But Wilson isn't just packing strength, he's also got enhanced speed and reflexes and I doubt the heavy built Black hand can keep up with him. Worse, is that he's carrying the more lethal weapons such as a energy staff a bomb, and actual guns, so Black hand's "black hand" and pellet shooter ain't gonna hold up to that. EDGE: Black Mask Assassins

Muscle: Yeah well, Kargath wins this obviously. Killer Croc is a mosnter no doubt, and his healing factor and bulletproof scales will be difficult to get through. But Kargath is just the better fighter here, having fought monstrous opponents in his history. Killer Croc couldn't even beat the Batman, and I doubt that he's also as smart as Kargath who can actually lead men. EDGE: Iron Horde

Stealth: Again, my edge goes to the Iron Horde. I've never been impressed with Copperhead's ailities nor her lackluster boss battle in Origins. And seriously how can her cortortionist talents stack up against a frigging jawbone of death. Deadeye not only possess superhuman strength, but can even use stealth. Copperhead isn't even taht great at stealth either, and I doubt she can get close enough to utilize her poison. EDGE: Iron Horde

Support: This is a tough one for me. Wolfbrother's beasts are going to be hell to get pass through. But Deadshot has the advantage in taking out Wolfbrother from afar. Still, Wolfbrother's summon would allow him to redirect and outmaneuver Deadshot's aim juse enough to get him close. But that can only happen if Deadshot himself doesn't kill him right away before he knows it. But still, a pack of monsters would be a great asset when all heroes finally clash, and t will give the Horde a number advantage and shock. Hard to decide so I'm keeping this even. EDGE: Even

Energy Wielder.: No contest, the mage wins. Firefly has the advantage of flight, but he's not the smartest of the team. Nerzhul not only can use magic but can also summon beasts to his aid. EDGE: Iron Horde

Female: Lady Shiva's weapons such as the ninjato and smoke bombs have no chance against Bladefury's sword and fire magic. Though her mastery of  martial arts and stealth will prove difficult for Bladefury to get close. So again, it's a wash for me. EDGE: Even

Rogue Element: No contest the two headed orc wins this without a sweat. Electricutioner is one of the most dumbest boss battles in the series and Batman himself manage to knock him out with one blow. Margok is the better tactician, can use magic and has the superior physicality of the two. EDGE: Iron Horde

Deadliest Warrior?

I'm gonna give this one straight to the Iron Horde Warlords. The Assassins are great manslayers through and through but they don't work well as a team because they only care about money. The Warlords have been through war and fought countless kingdoms in the name fo their race. The only effective individual for the Assassins here are Deadshot, Lady Shiva and probably Deadshot, the rest of them would easily get killed by the superior physicality and power of the Horde. I do respect that the Assassins have the technological advantage, but it won't do much against enemies who can utilize magic and summon beasts and monsters as an army.
