User blog comment:MilitaryBrat/The Red Hood (Jason Todd) Vs Lt. Simon "Ghost" Riley/@comment-5232784-20130321003851

Okay, very interesting battle...

1. Combat Knives

Ghost's knife wil be most likely like those of any special forces: high quality and, unlike the Kris, a mostly straight blade. It won't be as long as the Kris, but it will be very effectve and perhaps a more practical weapon. Yet the Kris does have the range.

EDGE: Red Hood

2. Pistols

Desert Eagles are very effective little pistols, but Ghost's seems to be a more advanced model, one with a flashlight built into it. It most likely was invented decades after the desert Eagle.

EDGE: Ghost Riley

3. Machine guns

Once again Riley has the more up to date more advanced weapons at the ready. Sure, the Ak-47 is very reliable and legendary, but it was invented decades after the weapons Ghost uses. Same with the Uzi

Edge: Ghost Riley

4. Explosives

The C-4 is far more practical than the exploding helmet: you can paste C-4 on anything, and it will stick to it like glue. The Helmet could be used however as a kind of large, oblong grenade, a throwing and killing weapon. This you cannot ever do with C-4.

EDGE: Dead Even

5. X Factors

Hand to hand combat training of both warriors is extensive, but Riley may have the advantage in the fact that SAS training deals with how to kill your opponent with your bare hands, and offensive martial art, while Jason Todd was trained mostly in self defense. Todd has not doubt adapted his skills to kill nowadays, Riley was trained as such from the beginning. Still, Being trained by the best martial artist in the whole DC universe, Todd will be an intimidating opponent, and may have indeed learned some SAS and other special forces fighting techniques from Batman, since Batman is said to have studied all fighting techniques out there.

Physicality is another toughy: In order to pass the SAS BT (Basic training), you have to be in very tip top shape, top of the line. Yet Jason Todd, due to his training with Batman and no doubt also to physical bio feedback machines done on him and Batman, and no doubt after he rose from the grave upon his murder by Joker, Jason Todd is almost alien in his physical capabilities.

Unlike Riley, Jason Todd has many years of combat experience, and has fought and beaten supervillians, enemies highly lethal and dangerous, beings that Riley has never fought. However, some of these villians, such as Joker and Penguin, would pose little trouble for Riley to kill. Still, Todd takes the lead here.

EDGE: Red Hood

Red Hood takes thi battle. Though Riley will give him a run for his money, it all comes down to training, and Red Hood has the same stealth skills Riley has but with a whole lot more hand to hand combat training and experience on his side, not to mention better physicality.
