Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgin-AMERICA!!!


 * Regular- Perseus. The Glider Staff is more of a mobility tool than a weapon for combat. While Aang can still use it for attacks, and it's good at summoning the air for attacks, I feel like the blades are more effective because the Glider still leaves Aang slow and vulnerable mid-air and his lack of armor will mean that a single blow from a blade can be a devastating, game-ending attack.


 * Special- Aang. The Avatar takes this edge easily- his bending is far more practical than any arsenal of weapons. The Sword is unbreakable, but can still be disarmed, which will be easy to do by simply hitting him with a blast of fire or freezing his arm solid with Water-Bending. The only problem that Aang will have is with the Head of Medusa, which calls the question- can Aang Earthbend himself free while immoble? While I'm not certain he could, it would provide an opportunity for him to transform into the Avatar State, which would easily break free of such a stone prison, and just as Perseus believes he had won, he finds an even stronger Aang looking back at him. Perseus hard to kill nature won't be a problem here though- Aang won't kill him. And he won't need to, either- he has a wide array of abilities to end a fight without causing death. He can freeze Perseus solid, wrap him in a stone prison ala the Medusa's Head but on a slightly longer to use scale or he could simply knock him out in the fighting.


 * Mount- Aang. The Pegasus might be much faster than Appa, which will allow Perseus some cheap shots in, but Appa is a more useful addition to the battle overall. He has some "air bending" of a sort of his own- he's shown bellows and sneezes that generate air as harsh as any Airbending attack, which could be used to blow the Pegasus out of the air. He's bigger, sturdier and harder to take down, and he does much more damage. At the end of the day, you can throw machine guns on your Ferari, but its greater speed won't allow you to best a tank in vehicular combat. So to speak.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Aang. The Avatar will take this because his array of powers is far greater than any set of weaponry. His bending will allow him to easily immobilize and disable his foe, and his speedy, air-bender nature will allow him to float out of the way of many melee attacks, plus once he enters the Avatar State, Perseus won't have a prayer of damaging him at all.
