MD 33's Vote: "Battlin' With the Losers!"

Powers and Abilities: One For All vs KILL KILL KILL!

This one goes to the Killer. First, I gotta admit something. Usually, in a CvA battle, I'd go for the anime character as the victor. Why? Because I'm afraid that I underestimated the anime character's abilities, and he/she ended up wrecking the comic guy. Anime characters tend to have... strange power sets. Such examples are that of those guys from JoJo's Bizarre Adventures (Wass, Appel, Skully, please don't kill me). They all are capable of summoning these... Stand thingies, make things explode, make things outta nowhere. They're just incomprehensible to me (most o' the time). Deku's powers count as one of the incomprehensible anime powers, too. In all honesty, initially I gave the edge to Deku considering his near limitless potential (no, he'll never be as strong as Pre-Crisis Superman) and tanky power set. For me, Deku is like My Hero Academia's version of, believe it or not, Molly Hayes. Both are super-powerful children with super strength, but that's not the case here. The thing is, the Killer's ability is just... too big for Deku to handle. I mean, dude, the power to end life with everything he can find (guns and bullets, for this one)... that's just straight up OP. Plus, add the fact that his power bypasses the opponent's durability and strength level, and Deku's powers simply mean nothing to the Killer. Not just that, the Killer's ability to decipher the weaknesses of his opponent adds up to his deadliness against Deku. IF Deku has any weaknesses. Still, this goes to the Killer due to the power's ignorance of Deku's durability. Hell, it doesn't matter if Deku tanked getting f*cked by a building-busting bomb. The Killer can just go through the durability and outright kill him.

As of Deku's Full Cowl compared to Wesley's master marksmanship, let's just say, considering that the Killer would still be using his main ability while shooting, Wesley's marksmanship still wins against the Full Cowl. All and all, the Killer's marksmanship would ensure that all his shots connect to Deku. Superhuman speed? Meh. The Killer can keep up with it. But I have to mention though, once Deku gets into CQC, the Killer has no chance (bullets ain't effective in close range, son) due to his lack of... y' know, superhuman physicality.

Equipments: Costume Gamma vs Loads of Guns and Explosives

This one also goes to the Killer. Sorry, Deku, but as much as how strong you are, those weapons the Killer has seem to be beyond your level. Yes, the Gamma Costume enhances Deku even more. But hello? The Killer has a f*cking minigun capable of being loaded with nuclear bullets capable of killing even the toughest of superheroes. And in the world of comic books, "the toughest/strongest" of superheroes tend to be... insanely powerful. Granted, not all of them are as strong as Superman or the Hulk (heck, they may not even be as strong as Aquaman). But managing to blow off their heads? Whoa, that's something. His sniper rifle can also be used to take Deku by surprise (for the first strike of the battle), while his pistols and assault rifles can be used to take Deku on in CQC. But I doubt if any of those can do any serious damage to Deku without the Ability to End Life. But, considering that the Killer has no reasons of not using such ability, meh, serious damage will be done. His knife? Eh, strictly CQC. To be honest, the knife might just be disarmed by Deku immediately, and Wesley will just use it as a back-up weapon.

Oh, and I nearly forgot, his boots, invisibility vest, and robotic dolls can be gigantic hinderances for Deku. WIth his flight boots, Wesley can escape some sticky situations in case Deku gets up close and personal. Then comes his invisibility vest that can be used multiple times as an ambush tool. His spider boots then can also function nearly the same as his flight boots, in case the boots get wrecked (as escape/assault tools). And finally, his robot dolls can distract Deku temporarily. I do not know of the robot dolls' capability, but I believe that Deku will make short work of those dolls, considering that usually "low grade" robots in comics are pretty much weak. And no, Sentinels are not low grade 'bots.

X-Factors: The Super-Sucker Kid vs the Super-Sucker Assassin (Divided)

Experience: As you said, it's not hard to tell who's the more experienced sucker in this battle. The Killer is definitely more experienced, and believe me, once you've travelled and battled in other universes (the Multiverse is one big place, fella), you've seen everything (hyperbole, people!). Not much to say here. Deku seems to have fought lesser threats than the Killer himself. And with the Killer actually killing some superheroes and supervillains, that is something to consider.

Training: This one's even for me. Deku's trained specifically to combat supervillains and save people. That kind of training itself is sufficient for Deku himself to be, let's just say, a sufficiently trained hero. The Killer on the other hand, is trained more intensively than Deku. Gibson himself is even hurt while in training to the point that pain's nothin' to him. Thing is, while Gibson's training is more intense, Deku's training is just more... specialized in combating threats in a world filled with superhumans. Hard to tell here but, all I can say are those things above (sorry).

Intelligence: In terms of applied intelligence, Deku takes the edge. As much as how deadly Wesley is, his intellect is... moderately good at best. Deku's an opportunistic person that enters every single doors of opportunity that he sees. And not just that, he knows of how to combat various powers with his... notebook? Is that literally a... notebook? Anyways, can't say much about this. Deku is just smarter via his intellect and observational skills. But in the field, I think the Killer's better due to his weakness deduction and simulating plans of how to kill his victims

So overall, who gets the edge in the X-Factors? No one. It's even

WINNER: THE KILLER

Yeah, obviously you know who's the one I'm rootin' for here. Deku will be a hard opponent to take down in close range, but with the Killer's variety of options for his assault (his boots, the dolls, and the vest), weapons, and lethal ability, the Killer trumps Deku. The only thing hindering the Killer in fighting Deku will be his lack of superhuman physicality, which Deku will happily exploit. But then, before Deku could close in, the Killer would've unleashed several devastating rounds to Deku. Combined with his ability to end life, the Killer could get a comfortable win here, if he's not near Deku. Still, Deku wouldn't be able to close on him even with his superhuman speed and bunch of weird attack styles. The Killer would just immediately evade his attacks (if possible), get into safe distance, and blast him to pieces using his nuclear rounds. Civilian casualties? Who cares? Deku charging his powers to 100%? That he can still handle. It's just that, the Killer's ability bypasses everything Deku has to defend himself. And that's all for my vote, apologies if my vote's kind of messed up. I'm not really used to voting CvA battles, as I know nothing of the anime contender. And... for a record, I have no idea how far Deku's potential could go. He stunned a villain that can increase his muscle mass to exaggerated levels. But the thing is, how powerful is the villain, anyway? Still, that ain't gonna matter and, that's all for it, boi :D.
