Dark is Near's "Disfigured Family Men" Edges

Melee- The machete is lethal and much larger then the switchblade, but Black Mask has shown to carry multiple blades on him at times. In addition Black Mask fights hand to hand much more and against dramatically tougher foes. Lee is not a slouch physically, but he himself rarely fights personally. Edge- Even

Pistol 1- I actually have to say Black Mask. While dual-wielding is inaccurate if done at the same time, but Black Mask could use one at a time while holding the other one. Even with just one Black Mask has proven to be a great marksman, with enough skill to shoot batarangs out of the air, plus Lee has shown to be rather easy to disarm (atleast in my opinion). Yes the USP has a larger caliber, but I doubt it has superior range. Edge- Black Mask

Pistol 2- The only thing the Deagle is really good for is intimidation purposes, and even then its good to have a different pistol on hand incase of an actual firefight. The Double Eagle beats it everywhere except stopping power, and even then it fires a powerful round. Edge- Black Mask

Shotgun-  The Remington shape makes it easear to manuver with in tight spaces, but the stock on the Hawk helps it maintain a degree of accuracy. However, shotguns aren't meant really supposed to be accurate when loaded with buckshot, and sure the Remington is heavier but not by much. Edge- Even

SMG 1- The Tommy Gun blows most smg's away in my opinion. It has more ammo and I personally think its wooden stock and forward grip helps it with accuracy slightly. Sure, the UMP has the same caliber and is lighter, but its magazine is so undersized the lighter weight doesn't matter. Edge- Black Mask

SMG 2- While I like the MAC-10, the MP7 is superior here. Better accuracy, lighter, range, etc. Plus it has the potential to pierce body armor easier if I recall. Edge- Big Smile Lee

Assualt Rifles- The G36 wins here. It is modern, essentially easier to control with more range. Other then performance and range, they are very similar. Edge- Big Smile Lee

Explosives- There are advantages and disadvantages between the explosives. The grenade launcher is on hand, easier to aim, and better accuracy, however it is more suited for open areas while the normal grenades are easier to use indoors, the delivery is a little more quiet then the launcher until they exlpode, and Black Mask could use them a little creativly. Edge- Even

Overall- I actually have to say Black Mask here. Lee has the superior assualt rifle, but he himself lacks the personal combat ability Black Mask has. Sure Black Mask isn't the sanest guy around, but he is still smart in many regards, about on level with Lee. Plus, in my opinion, Black Mask is more brutal. Yes, I know what Lee has down, but there is one fact that shows Black Mask is more brutal: Lee honestly cares about his daughters whereas Black Mask didn't bat an eye to killing family members or defilling there resting place. However they are both close in terms of brutality. Black Mask also has fought a more diverse and skilled range of foes, plus he has still fought normal gun toters and criminals. Plus Black Mask has proven to have a large amount pain tolerance. His guns also beats Lees in most categories, or fall behind only barely.

Overall- Black Mask
