VS

WHO. IS. DEADLIEST?!?!!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

The Phantasm
Andrea Beaumont was once a student at Gotham University, and met her love Bruce Wayne at the cemetary when she was talking to her dead mother. They hit it off and began a relationship. Eventually, Bruce proposed to Andrea, she of course said yes. However, the mob was closing in on her father as he owed them ALOT of money. So they split for Europe and were on the run. This saddened Bruce of course, who then became Batman as per his original plan. Ten years later, a gangster by the name of Chuckie Sol was murdered, several people blamed Batman. However it was really a mysterious figure known as the Phantasm. Later Buzz Bronski was killed as well, and Batman was blamed for that as well. Another gangster, a man named Salvatore Valestra went to the Joker for him to kill Batman. However Joker then killed Valestra and discovered that Batman was not doing the killings. Bruce Wayne at one point found out that Andrea was back in town, and she rescued him from the police that were attempting to gun him down. She told him that her father was the one behind the mask, and Bruce believed her. The Joker however, found out who the Phantasm really is and sent a bomb to Andrea's apartment. Batman was really there and escaped the bomb, while realizing that Andrea is actually the Phantasm. Andrea then went after the Joker as he was the man who killed her father. The two escaped the exploding theme park where Joker was living, and Andrea later made a career as a assassin for hire, and was even involved in project Batman Beyond, where Amanda Waller hired her to kill the parents of Terry McGinnis, but failed to do so.

Rorschach
When Walter Kovacs was a boy, he witnessed his mother having sex with a man in her bedroom. This, along with her abuse and the abuse with others transformed him into a man who wanted to right the wrongs of society. However, early in his career as a masked vigilante he discovered a pedophile who raped, murdered, and fed to his dogs a little girl. This again transformed him, this time into a merciless killer who always got his man through any means necessary. Eventually, the Keene act outlawed vigilantes, with the exception of Dr. Manhattan and the Comedian. Kovacs operated anyways, and when the comedian (AKA Edward Blake) was murdered, he thought that somebody was out offing vigilantes. However, he is framed for the murder of Edward Jacobi, also known as Moloch and is sent to jail where he meets some of the men he put away. Nite Owl II and Silk Spectre II rescue him, and they make their way to Ozymandaias' office where they discover his Antarctica base. They make their way there and discover his plan for "world peace". Ozymandais sets off nuclear weapons in major world cities, and surprisingly, world peace does occur. Rorschach means to tell the world of who actually did it, but is stopped by Dr. Manhattan, who ends up having to kill Rorschach.

X-Factors
Savagery:

Phantasm: 84

Rorschach: 92

The edge here goes to Rorschach. His merciless approach and lack of emotions allow him to tap into complete brutality.

Intimidation:

Phantasm: 79

Rorschach: 76

The eerie look of the Phantasm, as well as her seemingly supernatural abilities will surely put Rorschach on the edge.

Intelligence:

Phantasm: 82

Rorshach: 83

Neither are especially known for being geniuses, but Rorschach gets the edge slightly as he has been known to improvise when needed, and it has worked.

Hand to hand:

Phantasm: 89

Rorschach: 81

The Phantasm gets this, as she was not only able to fight off the Joker successfully, but Batman as well.
