User blog:El Alamein/Boris the Animal vs. Doctor Octopus



Hellstorm plows forward with a vicious battle of masterminds! Boris the Animal, the intergalactic criminal and last known surviving member of his Boglodite race who broke out of his lunar prison and traveled back in time to assassinate Agent K, goes head-on against Doctor Octopus, the brilliant scientist-turned-madman who rampaged across New York City with the aid of four mechanical arms strapped to his back! It's the ultimate contest of brains and brawn put together as two fearsome fighters step up to the challenge, but only one will be the deadliest warrior!

Boris the Animal (represented by the Fury o' the Desert)
Boris the Animal is an intergalactic criminal and the last known member of the Boglodite race, appearing as the main villain in Men in Black III. Boglodites were exterminated by the MiB, thanks to their unsavory habit of eating entire planets. After being foiled by Agent K at Cape Canaveral in 1969, Boris loses an arm and is trapped in an intergalactic prison on the moon. Breaking out over forty years later, Boris goes back in time to plot with his younger, less experienced (but not disabled) self. Together, the two Borises kill Agent K in the present day, but are thwarted in the past, being defeated by Agent J and a younger Agent K at the Cape Canaveral launch, undoing their murder of K in the future and allowing time to continue uninterrupted. Boris' main form of attack is the launching of poisonous spikes from his hand (in which resides a Boglodite parasite which he has nicknamed "the Weasel"), although he also uses alien weapons. The Boris represented here is the older, more experienced, but single-armed one. Weakness: Boris only has one arm, limiting his mobility, his ability to defend himself, and his ability to shoot spikes and hold things at the same time

Doctor Octopus (represented by the Doctor)
Doctor Octopus, (also known as "Doc Ock") formerly Doctor Otto Octavius, was a brilliant scientist who worked in the atomic field. He created a chest harness that controlled four mechanical, tentacle-like arms (earning him the nickname "Doctor Octopus"), initially meant to handle radioactive objects from a safe distance. After a freak accident, Doctor Octopus was left with mental control over the tentacles, but he also suffered brain damage that transformed him into a sociopathic criminal. He has become one of Spider-Man's most fearsome foes (featured in the film Spider-Man 2), fighting the hero through the streets of New York, keeping Spider-Man on his toes with his masterful skill in using his tentacles for combat. He was killed as a result of his brilliance, after his tentacles assumed control of themselves and caused the collapse of a warehouse in which he was dueling Spider-Man. The Doc Ock represented here is the one featured in the film Spider-Man 2. Weakness: Doctor Octopus does not have full control over his tentacles, and they may act of their own accord (usually in a self-destructive nature) if he cannot stay focused during the fight
