Elgb's "WEIRD SCIENCE!" EDGES!!!

Short: Okay, this is an easy win for the meat cleaver. Both are not designed for fighting, but the syringe is more difficult and cumbersome to use with unlike the meat cleaver. You really need to get into close range to use the syringe effectively, which is difficult against a weapon that can create push cuts like an axe, and be even more deadly in the hands of a madman that can fight SWAT and Batman with it. EDGE: PP

Mid: Tough to say. But I kinda see the buzzsaw being the more deadly weapon with its ability to rip through flesh and limbs comapred to the blunt force trauma of the pipe. Granted the pipe has a longer range and a faster attack speed but one hit from it is not guaranteed to actually put down someone (unless hit in the head). EDGE: PP

Long: Again, can't really say. Pyg's pitchfork is deadly since it can be used like a war trident (and face it there were pitchforks that were used in combat). The shovel has a history of being used as a weapon too in warfare (e-tool anyone?), but its probably more cumbersome to use than the pitchfork. However, West seems to be more experienced using his weapon than Pyg's so there's that. EDGE: HW

Firearm: I have to give this one to the M1911. If this was a 9mm handgun I would give the edge to the shotgun hands down. But the M1911 has a big caliber with strong stopping power (while the shotgun's power seems to be overkill). A big advantage of the M1911 though is the fact that it has a larger magazine, easier to reload and probably the longer range with its rifled barrel. EDGE: HW

Special: I dont see the drill being a decent weapon with its puny range and unless it hits the skull, it won't do much than cause pain. The cloth lacks range too but its insta kill. EDGE: HW

Minions: Easy edge to the Reanimators. The Dollitrons are creepy and strong but they are nothing more than human beings braiwashed to perform deeds to slightly above their physical limits. They are also dumb and can be killed with weapons. They also have other unique abilities for ranged combat. The Reanimators are smarter and is more durable. Seriously, I'd rather be in a post apolcayptic world filled with Romero Zombies than these ghouls. EDGE: HW

Deadliest Warrior?

In the end, I give it to Herbert West the mad science obsessed with reanimating the dead. The dude may lakc decent close range weapons but he has the superior firearm and most importantly weapons. Pyg is mostly fighting by himself at this point since his dollitrons are braindead, while West has thea dvantage of a few heads who can think and plan for their own at his disposal.

Granted in terms of cqc and intellect Pyg seems to have the edge since the dude took on the police, Batman and even fought other super criminals during the Arkham War. But in a small firefight in which he's not given any prep time, West's stronger minions would rip Pyg's army apart.
