User blog comment:WanderingSkull/Of Gunpowder and Treason: V vs. Nemesis/@comment-5232784-20131007021435

Okay boys and girls, lets play sudden death!

1. Short range

The Laser knife will cut through any blade of Vs, but it is not a throwing weapon, and V has ten throwing knives to Nemesis 1. Plus, V's knives are bigger.

In hand to hand combat techniques, I would say, based on what I have seen in the V movie and the Nemesis comic book, and what I have read above, are about dead even. Still, the 10 to 1 weapon advantage of V is considerable, enough to pull off a good edge

EDGE: V

Note: Nemesis is more than simply a good hand to hand combatant: he killed 97 prison guards in riot gear with hand to hand combat techniques, often using their own clubs against them, with brutal effect. He is on par with Batman in H2H capability. V should however be able to rival him here

2. Mid range

The Colt packs more punch, but the Beretta has more than twice the ammo, and is a more modern weapon. I choose ammo over power any day

EDGE: V

3. Long range:

The Uzi may be a heavier weapon, it does have two extra bullets. Once again, unless we have any indicator as to which is more accurate, less prone to jamming, etc, more ammo means more chance of victory

EDGE: Nemesis

4. Special

Hands down the C-4: Unlike the good old TNT bomb, which is a time bomb in this case, the C-4 is remote detonated; you have more control over the former than the latter. C-4 is used by special forces teams the world over. It is a more advanced and modern.

EDGE: Nemesis

X Factors:

V has more intelligence, experience and determination, while Nemesis has the brutality advantage; I believe that they are more equal in H2H skills than listed above, i.e. dead even.

One factor that has not come into play: Physicality. Nemesis is a peak physical performance, while V, if I remember correctly, is in the superhuman range. Maybe wrong (Anybody know if V is superhuman? Been a while since I watched the DVD, and I have yet to read the graphic novel). Until I have more evidence, I think that V will have better performance.

V wins in short and mid range weapons, and the X factors. Therefore...

V WILL VANQUISH NEMESIS
