Hey everyone! How we all doing? It seems like it's been about a whole week since my last full written blog and I have so many new ideas for blogs which add to the fact that I've still got some blogs I've been meaning to write since last year, isn't really a good combination. So I've decided to get to work on a few blog ideas from last year to start off with and this one in particular is something I think everyone will enjoy. Well if you enjoy superhumans getting in to a skirmish, then this blog is for you! Also I'm not really sure if I'll be online that much. Google Chrome has been blocked for me for some reason as well a whole bunch of other things that have been keeping me occupied...
but of course, don't hesitate to alert me of your blogs! It's something I'll sure read.
What is this blog about exactly? 4 characters from around the videogame universes will pit themselves against each either despite if they tend to buy ice creams together at lunch time. However it will be up to you to decide who will win in all this chaos and survive the longest through the battle. Technically free for all. So first up is...
The Beast - Infamous
The predicted destroyer of both Humanity and Conduits (I won't spoil anything) who was able to reorganise itself from the single atoms even after being completely obliterated, it doesn't seem like it can be completely destroyed. Who knows? Maybe we'll see it in Infamous: Second Son. It could cling to the most powerful Conduits or represent the power of Conduits so it may never be destroyed. That's just my idea so no spoilers! His powers are greatly varied but there are 2 key abilities that are able to represent his destructive power and what better way to do this than utilising pyrokinetic and gyokinectic (fire and gravitational powers) which gives it a boost in physical attacks from all sorts of weapons ranging from rifles to weapons of mass destruction.
What we didn't see in Infamous 1 was that he was able to reconstruct his form in to a gigantic figure which just amplified it's powers even more with superhuman strength and the ability to create and throw enormous fireballs at it's enemies where it seems like it was even able to throw one like a baseball at The Moon since it's completely shattered. Ultimately his inner body is full of lava and no wonder it seems hot-tempered but also the gravitational powers it possesses is able to give him fundamental to give it an advantage in battle. The creation of black holes or space-time singularities if you wish to impress all the MyIGNers which allows him to wreck everything in his path with people lifted up, ripped apart and may even gain the energy from it's victims sucked in to it's vortexes. This also acts as a form of defence since anything around him will be lifted up so any why weapons it finds suspicious can just be pushed away. No nukes today!
However like I said, he possesses many other powers which just adds to his name. It wasn't because of the fact that he visited the fantasy world of Narnia but the fact that he can imitate a Human form in order to communicate which allows him to teleport added to the fact that he can use his telepathic power to communicate from long distances...
(I'm not sure if the powers next are necessary and many of you may find it as a spoiler if your waiting to find out his latest supply of ablilites so in that case Spoilers start here! If not go ahead and read on but it doesn't have any Infamous 2 spoilers associated with the story)
...but much of his power is able to imitate the Ray Sphere energy and use it to accelerate the development of the Conduit's gene to incredible amounts so that a Conduit's gene can activate and give them their powers after just a few seconds rather than a few years, if the conduit gene would alternatively activate at all. This doesn't come without cost because this absorbs the life energy within living Humans in to the conduit, thus killing many dozes and even up to hundreds of Humans, just to allow a single conduit to gain his/her powers much earlier in life. So he could raise a whole bunch of conduits to fight with it and also use the vice versa option of absorbing powers and even drain conduits completely of their energy so it won't be long until we see the Beast with electric powers anytime soon. (Spoilers end here!)
It does have some weaknesses though. When his head is blasted off, he becomes drained and needs time to regenerate and it seemed like the easiest boss fights ever! However in reality, it was only because Cole had the abilities to survive through it.
Next stop, we have...
Rogue - X-Men
An uncommon yet cool ability among much of the superhero genre which many believe is probably he greatest superpower of all. If you don't know what her main power is or if you've never even heard of her, she has the power to absorb the powers of other Mutants, simply by touch. In most cases, she may just duplicate their abilities. I mean if she pickpocketed the abilities from a best friend, there would be a lot of explaining to do. However if she decided to absorb the powers long enough, this could become permanent with a mutant left without his/her powers... for good and if long enough, it could cause severe tissue scarring, blood clots and stuff... where am I going with this? This could put the victim at risk of death.
Don't threat that she'll be taking your powers just so quickly. The amount of time she absorbs their powers is the same length as the victim or touchee is stunned. Not only can she absorb or replicate the abilities of others but also take on their level of skills in terms of fighting, intelligence, personality and sometimes even their memories.
However could she survive in a battle with the other contestants? It's very possible and this is why many fans want this ability so much since they are free to roam with their range of abilities but this does not come without cost. Many times, she is unable to control her powers which means it may mean her powers are unstable and usually, she can only use these powers for a limited amount of time so she would have to be quick around running past the other fighters and stealing their abilities for about 5 seconds or so. It will depend up to you which abilites she has at the beginning of the match... unless she decides to have a lie in and turns up to arena empty handed. The real question is who would win in a fight with The Beast of absorption wars?
Ratonhnhake:ton - AC3: Tyranny of George Washington
Also known as Connor Kenway, this different version of the character is one of many superpowers in some ways, supernatural which takes place where he never joined the Assassin order but instead remained within his tribe to learn the abilities of the Animal Spirits to guide him and manifest them to use for his abilities. These abilities include for one, my avatar where he can use the power of the Wolf to become stealthy, an Eagle to allow him to fly to nearby objects which may otherwise be too high up to reach from deadly throwing pebbles from the guards and last but not least, the power of the bear so that he can perform the most destructive wave of energy in the local neighbourhood, throwing enemies far away and shredding apart anything he has decided to (b)air assassinate.
However unlike the 2 previous fighters, he has come prepared with a few equipment which may help him if a certain someone tries to pickpocket his powers. Actually there are 2 people who could do that. Anyways, he is equipped with a pair of Hidden Blades, Tomahawk, Bow and Arrow and some Flintlock Pistols. Maybe a few poison darts as well.
Lets not be too hasty and say he's the ultimate fighter just yet. He, himself, does have many weaknesses and these could be more problematic if they were able to take form during this siege. Every power he uses, no matter what, will decrease his health meter and so being stealthy and hiding around could backfire and put him last place on the ratings. Although he has a combination of invisiliblity, flight and superhuman strength which could be enough to win the battle, as long as his bow and arrow are able to get him through the superhuman wars, we could see a double assassination of a giant and full-time professional Mutant.
Now we have a final contestant which could tip the balance between who wins and falls. Could we have a winner on our hands? Only time will tell. This is the moment you've been waiting for. The mysterious contestant is...
1:30
That's right! Jeff Bridges!!!
This one really takes the cake in all of this. He has worn an Iron suit becoming the Iron Monger, a member of a bowling group, the leader of a physic organisation known simply as the Jedi...
Outstanding! However the list could go on!
Somehow he seems to survive after every movie in a completely different role. Almost like he's an actual actor! 0_0
I'm not sure if this guy does a weakness and another possible strength would be that anyone with a less badass attitude could aggregate him... I don't know what could happen.
Overall
It seems like it would depend on what happens during the battle since they could go after different people or even team up to stop another powerful enemy and then finish the others left. It could all be down to mathematics. Maybe Rogue could pickpocket all the enemies' powers while they're having a brawl but maybe Ratonhnhake:ton could stealth assassinate all the characters, fly up to The Beast's shoulder and assassinate him... which probably won't don't do much other than give him a little tickle. My personal choice would be The Beast since if it opens up a vortex, they're all screwed. Maybe Jeff bridges could be saving his power in the backround for the ultimate finishing move.
However it's probably difficult to know since there's four of them so maybe next time I should just do 1 vs 1 battle. Maybe battle of the Superhuman groups or other characters across video games and film series. I'm sensing a Wengardium Leviosa spell on the way...
Maybe when the commentator says begin the games, the characters could be left standing there confused thinking, "Where's the chocolate cake?"
So who do you think will win in this free for all battle? I really hope you enjoyed this blog and if you liked this blog, there could be more on the way.
Thanks for reading!
