Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgy Edgines-AMERICA!


 * Lincoln vs. Odysseus- Lincoln. Abe takes this, but only by a very slim margin. While it's true that Abraham Lincoln has enhanced strength, speed and senses from vampiric abilities, Odysseus' long history of beating out the impossible odds of supernatural forces before him will easily let him combat the vampire slayer without skipping a beat. Odysseus is a much more crafty and smart, and his superior long range power will allow him to seriously harass the enemy team with skill and precision, but even then, ultimately Lincoln's supernatural powers and the fact that he hardly comes up short in Odysseus' strongest points as well allow him to just barely squeak out the advantage here.


 * Skullduggery vs. Jean- Jean Grey. Skulduggery Pleasent's arsenal of elemental powers will prove to be a formidable force, but Jean's faster, more experienced and her various telekinetic powers easily allow her to tip the balance of power in her favor, especially if the battle is as quick and quiet as warriors possessing the rank of "infiltrator" would imply. Throw in the power of the Phoenix Force, and you've got a match-up that's damn hard to overcome.


 * Soldier vs. Punisher- Punisher. The Soldier isn't nearly as experienced, skilled or prepared to do anything in battle as the Punisher is. The Team Fortress trooper may have some ridiculous weaponry, but when the chips are down, they won't save him from The Punisher's superior training, experience and grit, especially since the Punisher seems to have a more effective overall arsenal for one-on-one combat or small team combat.


 * Arbiter vs. Grievous- General Grievous will take this battle once again. He's smarter, he's stronger, he's better equipped, he's more brutal, he's got better tactics and he's better armored. The Arbiter has a range advantage, but these are both close range warriors, and in the end, Grievous is the deadlier of the two.


 * Spy vs. Agent 47- Spy. Agent 47 has been doing this for a lot longer than his foe here has, but if there's one thing that undos him, it's the realism of his world. Ultimately, the Spy's more ridiculous nature will see him through here in contrast to hurting The Soldier, because The Spy's disguise ability will allow him to perfectly imitate 47's team mates and thus put him in the perfect position to do major damage. This could really go either way thanks to 47's better brains and experience, but The Spy is bringing a lot more ridiculous edges here, allowing him to barely get the edge.


 * Ross vs. Emile- Emile. Emile's super soldier SPARTAN nature gives him a natural leg up on Barney Ross- he's significantly faster, stronger, more tactically aware, more durable, better trained and better equipped than his foe. Emile's more futuristic weaponry far outguns the more primitive modern weapons of Ross. Ultimately, Emile's got an edge in everything that matters in a soldier, allowing himself an edge for Wass.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Cfp. This is a close battle, but Cfp's bringing in some major powerhouses like Jean Grey and General Grievous. His team may be dragged down by Barney Ross, but utlimately his warriors are the more effective or the better suited for their jobs, and he's going to win on the strengths of his definitive strongmen, with the others strong backing. Except for Ross. Why did you even come here, Ross?
