Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess


 * Weapons- The Shredder. The Sword of Tengu is an insanely powerful weapon that will easily destroy Ra's scimitar if the assassin tries to get in close, and if Ra's stays away the blade can still fire electric blasts that will tear the battlefield apart. The Glock won't do much to the Shredder Biosuit, espicially since there isn't a man inside of it, and the bolas aren't letal and won't even slow down the spike-covered armored warrior. The shuriken are kind of meh weapons, but at least they have a chance of doing some damage, and the Wrist Blades are devestating up close, like Wolverine's claws, and can't be disarmed.


 * Martial Arts- Ra's al Ghul. I'm not going to get into the flame war that debating the inherit strengths and weaknesses of martial arts, but Ra's is a warrior who is simply better suited to fighting unarmed. The Shredder is much more weapons based, and isn't fast enough nor does he possess enough range of movement to really compete in this category.


 * Powers- Even. Both of these men have enhanced strength and speed, with immortality, but while Ra's is far smarter, faster and more skilled; Shredder has more raw power and levitation can be a big factor in mobility and ambushing Ra's in the fight. as far as I'm concerned, they even out.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Shredder. I wanted to give this to Ra's, as I prefer to have the more intellegent and faster warriors win, but Shredder's arsenal, brute strength and brutality, combined with his own intellegence and creativity not really making this brains versus brawn, I have to suck it up and concede that the Shredder seems more likely to win this. Between his super-suit, his levitation and the sword of tengu, Ra's can't keep up.
