Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgy Edgines-AMERICA!


 * Close Range- Kratos. Kratos isn't quite as strong as Lobo, but he's really not that far off from those levels himself. His Nemean Cestus give his punches /far/ more weight and do far more damage, not to mention the area-of-effect Nemean Roar magic that comes with them allowing him to keep Lobo at a distance if need be. The Cestus' pop-out chain attacks will keep Lobo on edge and out-range him in this category, and will ulitmatley overpower the main man.


 * Mid-Range- Kratos. Once again, Kratos weapon's versatility and usefulness far outweigh Lobo's own weapon. The Blades of Exile are divine weapons that do massive damage, even to creatures, gods and titans that are invincible- I have no doubts that it'll wound Lobo despite his healing factor. The Blades have a far greater range of attacks and abilities, are flaming weaponry and have their own magic ability- creating a Spartan Phalanx around Kratos, impaling nearby enemies with spears, raining hundreds of divine-magic arrows on them in a wide area and making Kratos temporarly unhurtable. The hook is just a hook, and not only won't do jack shit to the Ghost of Sparta, it'll be made useless within moments of it's attempted use.


 * Long Range- Lobo. The Uzis don't have the range of the bow, but they do far more damage, and despite the magical nature of the arrows, they won't do much against Lobo's skin. The Head of Helios could be a major asset if used correctly, being able to cause seering painful temporary blindness is a huge advantage, and could easily be the thing that sets up the finishing blow while Lobo tries to recover, but it's best use will not be as a long range tool.


 * Special- Kratos. The Golden Fleece allows Kratos to absorb any attack and reflect any projectile- including those bullets from the uzi, back at their target with ease. This divine defense is far greater than a frag grenade on its own, especially since it will reflect that greande at Lobo, but throw in the Icarus Wings, allowing for extended mobility, air combos, special dodges and temporary flight, and the Blade of Olympus, allowing Kratos to use a divine Titan and God killing blade of ultimate power and incredible range- yeah, Kratos takes this category easily.


 * Deadliest Warrior- I'm throwing my hat in for Kratos. Lobo's healing factor is strong, and Lobo has been seen as able to fight Superman, but Lobo has also been depicted all over the scale of strength and power- and Kratos is incredibly powerful himself. Lobo's healing factor ensures he'll be back, no doubt, but that doesn't mean he'll win- just that once Kratos uses the Blade of Olympus to reduce him into almost nothingness he can try again in a few weeks. It's a close battle, but in the context of a fight, Kratos will leave Lobo in a state where he is unable to fight much easier than Lobo will kill Kratos, especially considering the Ghost of Sparta's own inability to die, superhuman durability and strength and his divine magic and tools.
