The multiverse is constantly shifting. Moving about in erratic patterns of irregular ways as if guided by the hand of some bored and careless deity, playing with us for their own amusement. Sometimes, the multiverse shifts in ways that cause collisions. Often, these collisions are minor at best. Someone or something might accidently fall from one universe into a parallel one. But once in a great while, two universes are set on a path determined for collision, and from this collision comes a joining. When two universes, both very different and yet unmistakably similar, come together, only one can remain. Who and what survives this fusion? Well, that's not in the hands of mere mortals to decide. For when two universe collide, only the Deadliest may survive...

This week, on Deadliest Fiction- two of the most under-handed business men in the comic universe will go head-to-head in a violent and ruthless battle to the finish. Norman Osborn, head of Oscorp, was once the criminal Green Goblin, before becoming the leader of the Thunderbolts and founder of HAMMER as the Iron Patriot. But has the ambitious Osborn bitten off more than he can chew when he wages war with Lex Luthor- the head of Lexcorp and founding member of nearly every Injustice Leage, the Secret Six and one-time President of the United States of America? Both of these ruthless warriors of evil are relentless in their hate and quest for power, but when an unstoppable force meets and unmovable object only one can be...the DEADLIEST WARRIOR.

Norman Osborn
Osborn comes packed with a massive arsenal of his personal designed weapons. During his stint as the Green Goblin, he used his deadly Razor Bat shuriken to torment his classic foe, Spider-Man- overwhelming him with the homing, flying deathblades. When those failed, he always had a steady supply of high-powered explosive Pumpkin Bombs to barrage the area with- designed to create chaotic mass explosions to kill civillian and cape alike. But the Goblin arsenal can not go mentioned without bringing up the Glider, the deadly aircraft that made him such a huge threat early in his career. The Glider not only allows flight, but is also packed to the teeth with machine guns and a built in Rocket Launcher. Finally, when he formed HAMMER, Osborn stole a suit of Stark's Iron Man armor, recreating himself as the Iron Patriot. The suit is about even to the Extremis Armor, but with one major flaw- the star shaped port on the chest causes overheating, which weakens the Unibeam. When he became the Goblin, he gained super-human strength that easily allows him to make up for a lack of melee weapons in a close up fight, not to mention making him a brawler even against the Marvel Universe's deadliest scrappers.

Osborn has never had any kind of notable training, but he has lived a long life of hero-fighting. As the Green Goblin he exchanged blows with street-level super heroes constantly, including Daredevil, Luke Cage and others, but his most notable foe has always been Spider-Man. Once the Secret Invasion came, Osborn was the man who saved the Earth by killing the Skrull Queen- an action he used to create HAMMER and eliminate SHIELD. As leader of HAMMER, Osborn lead his own Avengers and lead a massive invasion of Asgard, which ultimatly succeeded in destroying the holy city, though it lead to his downfall. Osborn's extensive combat experience has lead him to battle everything from Gods to Alien Invasions with ease.

Lex Luthor
Lex Luthor strikes back with a hardhitting arsenal of Lexcorp weaponry himself. He keeps on person, a set of brass-knuckle type weapons made of solid Kryptonite which can smash through metal with ease, as well as a retractable spear tipped with the space-rock of Krypton, a devestating melee weapon. He also has a hand-based electric blast- while it requires him to get within hand-to-hand range to use, it generates enough electricty to instantly incapacitate a human being with ease. When he finds himself under threat by major players in the DCU, Lex quickly deploys his deadly Lexcorp Warsuit- a massive green colossus of pain, which lets him go toe-to-toe with Superman himself, and includes a mounted flamethrower and shoulder-mounted long-range laser cannons that can barrage a target from massive distances.

Lex has had decades of experience fighting off gods, super heroes and other universe shattering threats, which easily make up for his lack of training. He is the founder of the Injustice Leauge and one of Justice League's deadliest enemies- smart enough to make Batman hesitate to deal with him, and strong enough (with his warsuit) to keep up with Wonder Woman and Superman. He has lead his team with incredible skill, and when he was elected President of the United States, he proved to be a pretty good Commander in Cheif, easily protecting his nation from an alien invasion.

X-Factors
Norman - Luthor

 120 - STRENGTH - 60

Norman Osborn has super-strength that allows him to fight the most powerful fighters in the universe. Lex Luthor is just an average man who spends a lot of time working out to work off his frustrations with a certain illegal immigrant from the planet Krypton.

90 - INTELLEGENCE - 100 

Lex Luthor is easily one of, if not the single most intellegent men in the DCU. His intellegence has overcome men like Batman multiple times. Norman Osborn is brilliant and a genius as well, but is crippled by his insanity, which cracks through every now and then.

30 - TRAINING - 10 

Norman Osborn has had only slightly more training than Lex, who has had next to nothing of note, though neither men have had much in the way of training- this X-Factor plays next to no role in this battle.

95 - EXPERIENCE - 100

Lex and Norman have both spent decades leading teams of super villains, massive governments and waged wars. The only difference is that Luthor's teams and personal conquests have been much larger in scope- fighting with the Justice League and Superman, as opposed to primarily fighting Spider-Man. As leader of HAMMER, Norman gained much more battlefield experience when waging war with Asgard and preparing to do the same to the Mutant nation of Utopia, Namor's Atlantis and Doctor Doom's Latveria.

90 - CREATIVITY - 80

Norman's creations are undeniably more flair-filled and dramatic than Lex's more functional designs, but his creations required a lot more thought and creativity to create than Lex, who mostly just put pre-existing weapons or pre-existing models of weapons on his warsuit and crafted Kryptonite into various melee weaponry. On the battlefield, Norman's tactics tend to be more inspired and unique than Luthor's.

 100 - DEXTERITY/SPEED - 70

While Norman is slightly faster than a normal man due to his enhanced physique, his Glider allows him air-travel with much more freedom. Luthor is not any faster than an average man out of his warsuit, and in the suit he does have access to flight- it's just more cumbersome and restricted than Norman's glider.

100 - WEAPON USE - 100

Lex Luthor and Norman Osborn are both masters of their very diverse arsenals, and it shows clearly in their tactics.

100 - BRUTALITY - 90

While Lex has done some awful, awful things he is not immune to the natural morality of humanity. He has multiple times, done things out of the good of his heart, what little of there is- and while he is deadly, he is calculating- not fearl or more brutal than neccessary in a fight. Norman is not like this. He lacks any and all empathy- going as far to drug and abuse his own teenage son to screw with his teenage nemesis. He will not hesitate to go further than murder- he will rape, he will burn, he will abuse and he will not hold back in the slightest- even if it makes him look a little less classy, unlike his foe.
