User blog:WraithOfWaffle/Battle Twelve: Black Mask (DC Comics) vs. Big Smile Lee (Sleeping Dogs)

Intro
Hello I'm TheWetWaffle and welcome to my (number) blog! Today we have two disfigured criminals of fiction entering the battlefield in this no holds barred gang war! Black Mask, the Dark Knight's childhood "friend" turned vicious enemy and criminal mastermind of Gotham City, vs. Big Smile Lee, the ruthless Hong Kong Triad of the Sun On Yee who will do anything to become the chairman, even if it means wiping out fellow Triads. These two men will go face to face, bullets will fly, but one will be, THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!

Black Mask
"I'm not happy, you all know, I'm not happy, and despite appearances... ...this ain't a damned smile on my face."

- Black Mask

Roman Sionis was born 30 May, 1928 into one of Gotham City’s elite families, to wealthy and utterly self-absorbed parents, caring more about their social status than their son; moments after his birth, the doctor carelessly dropped him on his head. Roman's parents were less concerned about their son's well-being and more concerned about covering up theentire incident out of fear of how their wealthy friends would react to the news of their son's injury. A second incident occurred when he was a child. While at the Sionis family country estate he was attacked by a rabid raccoon. This incident was also covered up by the Sionis family, who forbid Roman to mention it to anyone.

Further adding to the cauldron was his father's "friendship" with Thomas Wayne; both of Roman's parents disliked the Waynes and were quite vocal about it in private with their son. However, to their son's dismay, they continued to associate with Thomas and Martha Wayne and pretended to be friends with the couple, to the extent of literally forcing him to become friends with their son, Bruce. His parents' hypocrisy had a deep impact on him, and he grew to hate and resent them and the "masks" they wore in public.

After his high school graduation, Sionis was given a high ranking position inside his father's company, Janus Cosmetics. There, he met and fell in love with Circe, a working class secretary. His parents didn't approve of the relationship and made it clear that they wanted it ended. Enraged, Roman burned down the family's mansion, killing both of his parents. Upon their deaths, he inherited the family fortune and business. Roman wasn't the businessman his father was, however, and eventually ruined Janus Cosmetics by funding a line of face-paint make-up which failed. In desperation, he threw large sums of money at the staff chemists to create a product to save the company, and what came back to him was a kind of water-proof makeup. The product was rushed to market without proper testing, and once it hit the market turned out to be a deadly toxin which disfigured several hundred women.

Circe, now Sionis' fiancée, broke up with him in front of his entire staff. At that time, now successful mogul Bruce Wayne offered to bail out the company on the condition that Sionis give up control and allow Wayne to appoint his own Board of Directors. Sionis agreed, but was furious at the humiliation he had suffered. He went to the family mausoleum and broke his mother's ebony coffin lid. From a piece of this, Sionis carved a mask, becoming 'Black Mask'.

Big Smile Lee
"I am the strongest. I am the most feared. I say I should be chairman."

- Big Smile Lee

Henry "Big Smile" Lee is a Red Pole Triad and antagonist of the video game Sleeping Dogs. The richest Sun On Yee member, he primarily uses his intimidation and wealth to complete goals. He gained this wealth from a drug operation he ran early in his career and eventually rose up the ladder of the Sun On Yee. He used various laundering tricks and even invested in Sunny Wo's Three Circles Entertainment, a media outlet. Lee's operation grew and grew, even making Liu Shen Tong a lead enforcer, who would eventually kill undercover HKPD officer Charles Ho.

In the events of Sleeping Dogs, he wanted to expand his territory, so he attempts to take over Winston Chu's money laundering operation in North Point, Hong Kong with the help of Dogeyes Lin. But this sparks a civil war between the Jade Gang and Water Street Gang. But with this though, Winston's ally Wei Shen, destroys Dogeyes' drug manufacturing warehouse and kidnaps Siu Wah, an associate of Lin.

However, Lee is not happy with this so in retaliation, he attacks Chu's wedding and successfully wipes out his rival. Uncle Po, the Sun On Yee's dragonhead, is also shot and injured in the firefight. With Uncle Po's life hanging on a thread and the Water Street Gang in poor shape, Lee sends his enforcer Ponytail to collect money. This ignites another firefight resulting in Ponytail's death.

With Lee's power growing and growing, Lee's main rival Broken Nose Jiang seeks to prevent him from becoming chairman by having Shen assist her. To irritate Lee, Jiang recommends Two Chin Tsao to become temporary chairman of Sun On Yee. With Tsao retreating to safety in his home after some "ghosts" haunt him, Lee can't eliminate his target. Shortly later Uncle Po dies in the hospital from causes that are unknown at the time.

At Uncle Po's funeral though, a large shootout is taken place as Thomas Pendew, a police superintendent, arrests Sonny Wo and allows an 18k Triad squad to attack them. With everything around the organization crumbling around them, Lee demands to become chairman, citing that he is the most powerful and feared. However, Pockmark Chuek and Shen oppose this and suggest an election is taken place, upsetting Lee.

An infuriated Lee sends a bunch of Triads to fight the Water Street Gang and to assassinate Shen and get rid of any opposition to get him more votes to become chairman. The hit is a failure though but Jackie Ma, a close friend of Wei is kidnapped. However, Jackie survives after being buried alive on an island.

Desperate to get rid of Shen, Lee tips off Pendrew and he reveals that Shen is an undercover cop. Lee sends Tong to torture and kill Jackie and Wei. Jackie is disenboweled and hung from a pipe in an alleyway where Wei is taken and tortured by Tong. Sadly for Lee though, Shen survives again and goes to kill him on the eve of the election.

After plowing through Lee's enforcers, Shen confronts Lee but is blasted in the chest by a shotgun. Lee goes on a boat to retreat from Wei, but he ends up crashing. After a brutal fistfight between the two men, Shen kills Lee after throwing him into an ice crusher, shredding him into bits. His death ends the civil war between the Triads and allows Jiang to become chairwoman of the Sun On Yee.

Explanations

 * Black Mask isn't the most sane comic character in the world, as he is unstable and probably has some mental defects. Lee, while not the most mentally clear warrior, is a rational enough thinker where his sanity is in tact.


 * While Sionis is in the peak of his physical condition, Lee is the bigger and most likely stronger of the two men.


 * Lee may have been around a long time and is certainly at the top of the Triad food chain, Sionis gets the edge. In his conflicts against Batman.


 * Both of these men are extremely brutal, willing to kill anyone in their way. However, Sionis gets the edge because his mental stress may blind him and cause him to become more brutal.


 * Both men are bloodthirsty, both are willing to kill any opposition, both are brutal. It's even for me.


 * Marksmanship goes to Black Mask. He's certainly a better shot than Lee, who is rarely seen with firearms as Hong Kong law forbids them. Guns are a lot more common in Gotham and Black Mask uses them to their maximum potential.


 * Lee's intelligence seems to be average at best, as he seems to use his intimidation to get what he wants. When you compare it to the tactical mindset of Black Mask, it's an easy edge in favor of Sionis.


 * Lee is a very rich man, with his various forms of profit from his extortion, drug dealing, and various other forms of crime. But he's limited with firearms considering the laws of Hong Kong prohibit them. Black Mask, while not as wealthy, can get guns a lot easier, albeit illegally. It's even.


 * Both of these men are in their best physical condition. However, Lee typically has his men do the work and doesn't do much fighting. Mask is able to go toe-to-toe with other members of the DC Universe including the Red Hood and even Batman.


 * I'll have to give a slight edge to Mask, as he is one of the top gangs in Gotham his intelligence may allow him to use better tactics in battle.

Edges
Melee=

Black Mask is certainly a skilled hand to hand combatant, the Switchblade is just way too small. It may be double edged, but the Machete's serrated edge will turn anyone to bits. Plus it's extra range will keep Sionis' men at bay.

Edge: Big Smile Lee



Pistol 1=

I'll call this even, as both guns bring their fair share of benefits. Black Mask's M1903s are lighter, they have a greater capacity, and he's skilled at wielding both guns. However, Lee's USP has the superior caliber, most likely has better range, and aiming one pistol is much more accurate than aiming two.

Edge: Even



Pistol 2=

The Desert Eagle brings a heavy amount of stopping power with it's .50AE round, the Double Eagle is certainly more practical. It has less stopping power, but easier to control recoil, is lighter, and has one more bullet in reserve. I hate the Deagle personally with good reason and never gets the edge outside of being compared to a revolver.

Edge: Black Mask

Shotgun=

The Remington may has more spread, but it's a pound heavier than the Type 97-1. While it doesn't do as much damage, the Hawk has the sturdier stock and can be aimed much better. Plus the wielder of the Hawk will be able to run around faster with less fatigue.

Edge: Big Smile Lee



SMG 1=

The UMP is the more modern and sophisticated weapon with superior ergonomics and lighter weight. But it doesn't have much ammo to back it up. The Tommy Gun is old fashioned, clunky, and good for only short to mid ranges. At the same time it jams a lot with it's drum mag. All facts aside, the Thompson brings more killing power and gets the edge.

Edge: Black Mask



SMG 2=

The Ingram MAC-10 is a rather poor SMG compared to other common SMGs like the Uzi, MP5, and yes, the MP7. The MAC-10 is heavier, has less range, and is less accurate than the laser that is the MP7. The RPM will destroy anyone caught in it but that means it will burn it's mag way too fast to be practical.

Edge: Big Smile Lee



Assault Rifle=

I'll have to give this edge to the G36. It's heavier, but has the more consistent fire rate, making it better for ranged combat. Plus the G36 is one of the rifles that's been meant to compete with the M16 and M4 series, so it's a rather close comparison.

Edge: Big Smile Lee



Explosive=

The grenade may be lighter and more portable, but the grenade launcher is attached to the G36, making easier to access. Plus it has better range and bigger explosive power.

Edge: Big Smile Lee
