BeastMan14's "Dr. Sleep was actually pretty good" edges

Iconic: Jack Torrance. While neither of these weapons are quick on the draw, Jack's Axe will still require less of his weight to effectively use. If Annie goes all out with her sledgehammer and misses, she has to risk Jack hitting her. And even if she does hit, the damage in the long run will only slow Jack down, while a blow from the axe could easily kill Annie if it's in the right spot.

Secondary: Annie Wilkes. The Kitchen Knife is a faster weapon with actual killing abilities behind it, while Jack's croquet is a shitty weapon with a meager range advantage.

Special: Jack Torrance. Y'know how I mentioned Dr. Sleep in the edge title? Turns out that's important. The Overlook Hotel Ghosts are a devastating weapon when they back up Jack, and they'll mess with Annie's head, give Jack advantages in the environment, and, if Dr. Sleep is to be believed, can even intervene on Jack's behalf and fight Annie themselves. (Evidence: The ghost of Horace Derwent personally kills Silent Sarey at the end of Dr. Sleep) As effective as Annie's shotgun will be, I don't think it can top assistance from the supernatural.

Deadliest Warrior: Jack Torrance. I went into this on the side of Annie Wilkes, but Jack's sheer determination, superior weaponry, and ghostly assistance manages to push things in his favor. Sorry, Annie, but you can't top the better movie. Score: 560-440
