Magic versus might. That’s the matchup as Evil-Lyn battles Wonder Woman.

Now, there’s no doubt that Wonder Woman is stronger, faster, and far more dangerous in a direct fight. If she gets her hands on Evil-Lyn, it’s over. The problem is: Evil-Lyn knows that too. She’s got to be smart about this. That’s why she doesn’t initiate the battle.

Wonder Woman charges first, deflecting an incoming magical blast with her bracelets before lunging straight at the Eternian sorceress. Evil-Lyn barely avoids the attack, teleporting backward as Wonder Woman smashes through, face-first onto the ground. The Amazon quickly brushes it off and gets to her feet.

Evil-Lyn teleported nearby, giving her enough time to plan what she’s doing next. She fires another series of magical blasts and even a fireball at Wonder Woman, but her reflexes are too quick. Wonder Woman advances through all of the attacks.

One blast catches her shoulder, and another explodes at her feet, but Wonder Woman doesn’t react. Instead, she lands a solid strike that sends Evil-Lyn stumbling sideways.

The evil sorceress is forced to quickly change tactics completely. Illusions suddenly surround Wonder Woman from every direction while magical restraints burst from the ground around her legs and arms. Wonder Woman tears through the first set instantly, but another set distracts her long enough for Evil-Lyn to gain another advantage.

The ground beneath Wonder Woman suddenly collapses into a magical pit. Before Wonder Woman can leap free, Evil-Lyn seals the trap shut with a burst of energy. Wonder Woman tries to punch through the barrier. Repeated punches leave Wonder Woman’s knuckles burned from the magical energy. Finally, she bursts through the field.

But as Wonder Woman escapes through the air, Evil-Lyn casts a spell that teleports Wonder Woman out of this realm of existence. Whether Diana Prince is sent to another continent, another planet, or another dimension, just one person knows: Evil-Lyn. She’s also the victor here.

What happens when an Earth mutant takes on an Eternian (evil) warrior? We’re about to find out!

Gambit and Tri-Klops aren’t always the stars of their series, but these two are an even match. They’re about the same size, both fight with weapons, and both are dangerous at multiple ranges.

Gambit may have mutant powers, but Tri-Klops has plenty of tricks of his own, including a visor that fires energy blasts.  And he’s skilled enough with a sword to pressure Gambit up close.

Gambit has a couple full decks of cards, and is ready for battle immediately. He opens the fight first, flicking a string of charged cards toward Tri-Klops. The villain rotates his visor and fires an energy blast through the volley, detonating the cards before they can reach him.

Another volley comes flying in almost instantly. Tri-Klops blasts those too, but Gambit is already moving during the explosions, using the smoke and debris to close in.

Gambit’s metal bo clashes against Tri-Klops’ sword in a quick exchange of strikes and counters. Tri-Klops actually holds his own pretty well, forcing Gambit backward with a sudden visor blast that narrowly misses Gambit’s head.

But Gambit doesn’t retreat even a little. He flips forward, charges the end of his bo staff, and slams it into the ground. The explosion throws Tri-Klops off balance. That’s when the fight changes.

Before the Eternian can fully recover, Gambit snaps card after card into the air from multiple angles. Tri-Klops destroys a few of them with visor blasts — but not all of them.

The explosions erupt around him one after another, knocking the sword from his hand and sending him crashing to the ground.

Gambit pulls out an entire deck of cards, charges all of them at once, and flings the glowing stack directly onto Tri-Klops’ chest before turning away.

A massive explosion erupts behind Gambit as he keeps walking without even looking back. He doesn’t know if Tri-Klops moved out of the way or not. Either way, this fight is over.

As the new He-Man movie is about to release in theaters, I figured it’d be a good time to do a battle of the Teelas. Five versions of the same warrior, but from different eras, each with slightly different skills. 

The Filmation Teela ready to anger, the Mike Young Teela disciplined, the Netflix era trying to prove something. They’re all strong-willed and brave, so there’s no real intimidation factor here.

The Mike Young Teela moves first, attacking the Filmation Teela with a clean strike of her snake staff.

Meanwhile, the Netflix Teela confronts the 2026 Teela, quickly engaging her down with a MMA-style takedown.

Live-action ‘80s Masters of the Universe Teela aims her blaster at the Filmation and Mike Young Teelas, not sure which one to strike.

Mike Young Teela and Filmation Teela are already locked in. Staff snapping forward, shield and sword clinging. Neither gives any ground.

Filmation Teela snaps her wrist guard mid-clash and fires a freeze burst, but as she fires, Mike Young Teela kicks her arm. As a result, the freeze ray  blast catches the 1980s live-action Teela, who becomes a block of ice — frozen out of the fight completely.

On the other side, Netflix Teela and 2026 Teela collide in a messy exchange. Netflix Teela pushes forward with raw aggression, 2026 Teela trying to match it but getting overwhelmed.

They trade strikes fast until Netflix Teela catches her timing, drives her backward, and lands a clean takedown that knocks her out of the exchange.

Mike Young Teela and Filmation Teela are still facing off

Mike Young Teela presses forward with staff strikes, trying to force control, but Filmation Teela holds her ground. She reads the next swing, catches the staff on her shield, and uses the momentum to yank Mike Young Teela off balance and slam her down hard. She slams her shield into Mike Young Teela’s face repeatedly.

Mike Young Teela doesn’t get back up.

Netflix Teela tries to overwhelm Filmation Teela but arrives a second too late. Filmation Teela swings around, kicks her leg out and trips Netflix Teela onto Mike Young Teela. She uses her shield again — slamming the back of the other Teela’s head. Netflix Teela rolls onto her back and looks up at Filmation Teela’s sword. She knows when she’s defeated.

Wolfsbane and Batgirl meet above the city in a rooftop fight that doesn’t leave much room for mistakes.

Typically, Wolfsbane relies on speed, instincts, and brutal physical power. If she gets a clean hit, this fight is basically over. But she’ll need to use her brains against Batgirl.

No, Batgirl can’t match her physically. She doesn’t need to. She wins by reading opponents, using her environment and gadgets, and moving when the time is right.

Here’s how I see this one playing out. Wolfsbane doesn’t hesitate. She shifts into motion immediately, circling with animal precision, reading Batgirl’s position through scent and sound more than sight.

Batgirl doesn’t give her a still target, though. She fires her grappling line and swings halfway across the rooftop, forcing Wolfsbane to adjust on instinct.

Wolfsbane commits to the chase. She launches forward in a burst of speed, claws ready to end it. Batgirl twists mid-swing, but not fast enough to avoid everything. Wolfsbane’s claws catch her side as she passed. It was just a grazing hit, but enough to send Batgirl skidding across the rooftop.

Batgirl knows she has to recover quickly, but not cleanly. One hand presses briefly to her side as she resets her stance.

Wolfsbane doesn’t slow down. She pivots off the first hit and comes in again, forcing Batgirl into defense. Another strike forces Batgirl to duck hard, the claws slicing just above her shoulder.

But now, Batgirl drops a smoke pellet. The rooftop fills with haze. Wolfsbane pushes through it anyway. She finds Batgirl and lunges.

Batgirl sidesteps at the edge of the rooftop. Wolfsbane - at full speed - ends up flying off the rooftop. Batgirl fires her grappling line trying to catch Wolfsbane, but it misses.

Batgirl scans down into the dark. Nothing but distant movement below… then a low, frustrated howl. 

It’s a battle of the clouds today - or at least a battle in the clouds!

On one side, we've got Koopa Troopa, floating through the sky and launching his trademark spike balls at anyone unlucky enough to cross his path.

On the other, is Good Luck Bear. He's just hanging out, chilling with one of the Care Bear stars.

Koopa Troopa opens the fight immediately, hurling spike ball after spike ball across the clouds out of nowhere. Good Luck Bear is surprised, but thankfully this Koopa’s aim isn’t always exact.

Good Luck Bear ducks, dodges, and narrowly avoids getting knocked from the sky.

Another spike ball comes flying toward Good Luck Bear. He grabs his stars to move them out of the way, but his paw closes around something else. A bigger star than normal.

A familiar tune begins to play.

Good Luck Bear looks down at the glowing Super Star in his hand. He feels an immense burst of energy.

Koopa throws another spike ball. Too late.

Good Luck Bear blasts straight through it and crashes into Koopa's cloud, sending the turtle spinning through the sky.

As Koopa disappears into the distance, Good Luck Bear waves at the other star, and jumps back onto his cloud.

A disciplined Nightsister warrior versus a regenerating mercenary who refuses to take anything seriously. That’s the matchup today as Morgan Elsbeth faces Deadpool.

How does this fight go down? Like this: Morgan doesn’t rush. She watches first. Deadpool, of course, immediately fills the silence.

“So I gotta’ ask… evil space wizard vibe or more ‘zombie assassin with years of unresolved trauma?”

No response. “Okay, cool. Mysterious. Love that for you.”

Morgan moves in. She brings her blade down fast, clean, and controlled. Deadpool barely avoids it, laughing as his coat gets sliced.

“Okay — zombie assassin it is.” Morgan presses forward again with a second attempt. And a third. And another after that. Every strike is precise, forcing Deadpool backward step by step. 

He tries to keep up with speed and improvisation, but she’s reading him now and breaking his rhythm.

Deadpool’s shoulder is sliced open, but he shrugs it off.

“Yeah, that one’s gonna leave a mark. Not a permanent one. I mean, I’ve had worse. Emotionally speaking, my ex-wife—”

Before he can finish, a kick sends him into a wall mid-sentence. Morgan finally exhales, not out of anger, but satisfaction.

“Okay, I think you’re starting to like me. That’s usually when things go bad for me.” Morgan brings her blade up towards her chest and charges forward, closing the distance quickly.

Deadpool doesn’t retreat this time. Instead, he rushes into her strike. Morgan expected evasion. Instead she gets pressure. Steel meets steel as they clash, and Deadpool keeps talking the entire time.

“Just saying, most people usually take me out to dinner before they try to disembowel me—this feels rushed!”

Deadpool goes for an improvised swing, in a wild attempt to knock her off balance, but Morgan adjusts. She instantly sidesteps and then drives her sword forward. She pushes further and twists. Then, Morgan kicks Deadpool’s knee and swings her sword across Deadpool’s face.

Deadpool hits the ground, motionless for a beat longer than before.

“…Okay,” his voice comes from the rubble. “So…shit.”

Morgan wipes her blade on Deadpool’s suit and walks away.

Newt Scamander has spent his life dealing with dangerous creatures. From demiguises to bowtruckles to nundus. Yes, autocorrect -- I meant to say nundus. If it has teeth, claws, or venom, he's probably encountered something similar.

But the Xenomorph is different. This isn't an animal that can be calmed down or reasoned with. It's a perfect predator. It's incredibly fast and extremely aggressive. Even when its opponents do injure it, they have to be careful because of the acidic blood.

Obviously, Newt has an advantage being a magician. He’s got spells to deal with hairy situations. Newt has access to stunning spells, binding charms, shielding magic, and explosive curses. 

While the Xenomorph is physically superior in every way, it has no defense against magic. The biggest question is whether Newt can react quickly enough.

The Xenomorph rushes him immediately. Newt throws up a shield charm, but the impact sends him stumbling backward. The creature leaps again, this time striking with its tail. Newt barely dodges as the razor-sharp point swipes past his head.

At that point, Newt realizes he's not dealing with a creature he can safely subdue. Newt abandons any thought of containing it and switches to more aggressive magic.

As the Xenomorph charges a third time, Newt snaps his wand forward. A powerful binding spell locks the creature in place for just a moment — long enough for Newt to follow up with a devastating blasting curse.

The alien collapses before it can break free. Newt stands over the creature. Despite being grateful to be alive, he can’t help but wish it could have ended differently.

I’m running this matchup today — and it’s going to be hard hitting. There’s going to be some metal vs. metal when War Machine and Iron Man team up to battle Steel.

War Machine and Iron Man don’t know what kind of fight they are up against, but War Machine opens immediately with missile fire. Steel quickly moves, pushing the missile away from him as he flies higher. Iron Man keeps his distance but follows up with repulsor shots on Steel.

Steel advances through them as two of the missiles hit each other instead of Steel. War Machine increases output. More missiles launched quicker than before. At the same time, Iron Man blasts Steel with bullets.

Throughout explosions of the onslaught, War Machine and Iron Man can see that Steel is hit. His armor is dented and he seems to be off balance.

Steel changes the exchange by force. He pushes through an impact and launches upward into War Machine’s flight path. Steel pounds on War Machine, hitting his armored face and chest repeatedly. Steel pushes War Machine backwards, spins, and strikes him with his hammer. That collision sends War Machine falling downward, out of eyesight through the clouds.

Iron Man heads down to find Rhodie, but Steel interrupts him. After the collision, they lock up and propel in the same direction. 

Now flying at Mach speed, Iron Man and Steel are in a test of strength in mid-air, accelerating downward together. Iron Man tries to break free with some plasma blasts, but Steel catches the momentum and twists with it. The two of them spiral hard, losing control as altitude drops fast. Their flight systems fight for correction, but neither gets clean separation.

Their crash landing leaves a huge dent in the ground and dust that goes up several hundred yards.

Iron Man checks his power levels, ready to fight again as his LED eyes light up. But as Iron Man gets to his feet, Steel is in front of him out of nowhere, spinning and striking Stark with his hammer. This sends Iron Man crashing through multiple nearby trees.

His armor is scorched and fractured. He’s now a 3% - not enough power to get up and continue the fight.

Okay, this one’s fun — because neither of these two is the type to take a step back. Teela fights close. As Captain of the Eternian Guard, she is used to fighting all kinds of enemies. She can wield a sword, use her numerous gadgets like freeze rays and flash bulbs, and she can also go into a fight with just her bare hands. In this case, she has her snake staff.

Meanwhile, Deathbird fights fast and prefers aerial attacks. She uses speed, angles, and air to stay unpredictable. Teela just better avoid those razor-sharp claws!

Teela moves in first, running at Deathbird as she takes flight. Deathbird rises just off the ground, forcing Teela to adjust mid-run and swing upward with her staff. She misses, but Deathbird doesn’t. She swoops down with a sharp claw against Tesla’s shoulder, leaving her bleeding early on in this battle.

Teela powers through it as Deathbird circles back. Teela jumps, catching Deathbird mid-rise and dragging her back toward the ground in a rough collision. They hit hard, but Deathbird twists free and scrapes her claws down on the ground.

Deathbird rises and takes off, but this time Teela jumps on her back. “Get off of me!” she yells. Deathbird ascends about 50 feet into the air and then flips Teela forward towards the ground below.

Falling in mid-air, Teela twists and grabs Deathbed’s right foot at the last moment. Deathbird tries to stay in the air, but both women end up falling towards the ground. Hanging onto Deathbird gave Teela a slower landing, but both women are in rough shape after that.

Teela is up first. Deathbird gets to her feet, but slower than before. Teela strikes Deathbird in the face with her staff,  leg sweeps her, and then smashes her staff into Deathbed’s chest.

At that point, Teela triggers the freeze ray in her bracelet. A burst of cold energy locks onto Deathbird, turning her into a Shi’ar ice cube - partially freezing her partially in place.

Her wing, shoulder, and chest are locked into the ice.

Deathbird struggles, but starts cracking the ice. Teela steps in, strikes Deathbird again, and then puts a layer of ice over the entirety of Deathbed’s body except for her head. To be sure this bird stays grounded, Teela adds another layer of ice.

Teela steps back, breathing hard, shaking out her injured arm as the ice settles around Deathbird.

Alright, we’ve got Star-Lord Peter Quill and Poe Dameron here. With their egos and quick tempers, there’s an instant dislike between the two of them.

The moment it kicks off, both of them are already moving. Quill starts by firing his blasters as Poe returns fire with a blaster of his own. Dodging each other’s lasers, both Poe and Quill have to constantly reposition themselves. 

Star-Lord kicks into the air almost immediately, using his jet boots to gain better visibility. However, that also makes him more of a target. Poe fires a few near misses, as Quill zigs and zags. But Poe hits Star-Lord’s right booster, causing him to lose control and balance mid-air before he goes crashing to the ground.

As Quill pulls himself up, he quickly realizes he’s vulnerable. He looks up just in time to see Poe in front of him - his fist flying into Quill’s face. Poe gets a knee to the midsection before the two grapple.

Both of them wrestle, trying to get control through sheer pressure. Poe has his arms locked around Quill’s head, but Quill instinctively twists out of it and breaks any rhythm Poe is trying to maintain.

Quill manages to slip one arm free and fires a close-range blaster shot right past Poe’s head. Poe is dazed, breaking contact and getting up to his knees. Quill fires up his one boot, boosting forward on the ground, out of Poe’s reach. Both men get to their feet at the same time but Quill doesn’t wait. He launches into Poe shoulder-first. The impact knocks Poe to the ground.

Poe reacts by catching Quill across the face with a right hand. Poe tries to shove Quill off of him, but Quill answers with a sharp hook to Poe’s ribs. He follows up with three more.

Quill puts his metal helmet on and headbutts Poe in the face. Poe sees stars for a moment. Quill headbutts him three more times. Poe is out cold.

At that moment, Quill rolls off of Poe, sits up and then, breathing hard, falls backward on the floor, exhausted.

Some fights are loud from the start — and then there are fights where the silence is the dangerous part. Kingo Sunen versus Black Noir is somewhere in the middle of that.

Kingo is pure spectacle in motion. Every attack is controlled confidence, energy blasts used like punctuation marks in a fight he expects to dominate from range. But his opponent doesn’t react easily, so how does this scenario play out? Well, here we go!

The moment this starts, Kingo opens with rapid-fire energy shots, forcing Noir into motion immediately. Noir advances through it without hesitation, taking hits here and there. Each of the energy blasts slows him down, but he doesn’t change his direction.

Kingo adjusts, tightening his firing pattern and putting more effort into each one. He tries to force Noir off to the side. For a moment, it works. Black Noir shifts slightly to avoid the direct line of fire, but he still keeps advancing through the gaps.

The confidence in Kingo’s face starts to fade, but he still increases output. The blasts get heavier, brighter, more concentrated. The space between them starts to light up as the pressure builds, forcing Noir to absorb more direct impacts. Finally at his breaking point, Noir leaps forward and tackles Kingo.

The impact is immediate and ugly. Kingo rolls with the impact and fires a point-blank blast just to create space. It connects with the ground in front of Noir, but he grabs Kingo and tosses him to the ground a few feet away. For the first time, Kingo’s attacks are no longer shaping the fight.

Kingo tries to recover, but Noir is already on him. A brutal stomp lands across Kingo’s midsection, knocking the wind out of him and cutting off his ability to fire cleanly. The confidence finally cracks. Kingo points his hand upward, but Noir traps Kingo’s arm and crushes the wrist joint.

Crying out in pain, Kingo fires desperately with his other hand, catching Noir across the shoulder. Noir takes half a step back, but then drives his fist into Kingo’s chest as hard as he can. This sends Kingo back into the ground.

Noir doesn’t let him reset either. He follows up by grabbing Kingo by the collar and yanking him up just enough to break his breathing rhythm before slamming him back down with enough force to rattle the ground beneath them. Noir does this repeatedly as Kingo’s energy output flickers instead of stabilizing. There are no clean shots and no control with his few attempts to blast Noir.

Noir pins Kingo’s healthy arm and drives his fist into Kingo’s face with repeated heavy strikes until Kingo can’t even maintain enough focus to generate another blast. Black Noir lays him face-first on the ground and stands over his victim.

Welcome back. Today it’s Donatello vs Mystique. This one is all about brains, adaptability, and how far strategy can carry you when there’s a difference in strength.

Donatello has always been the most analytical of the Turtles, relying on tech, timing, and precision over brute force. However, he’s still highly skilled in martial arts and incredible durable because of his mutation. Mystique is a master infiltrator and assassin, able to change her appearance instantly and turn any environment into a weapon. She’s also highly-skilled in her own right.

What makes this interesting right away is that neither of them wants a straight-up fight. Donatello prefers control of the battlefield through gadgets and distance, while Mystique thrives when the opponent can’t be sure what’s real and what isn’t.

Donatello moves first, but does so slowly. He raises his bo staff as he steps forward. Mystique doesn’t wait to be analyzed. She rushes him immediately, closing distance fast and striking high with an attempted kick to the face. Donnie is too quick, dodging the kick and hitting Mystique in the back with his staff.

That quick pivot and staff strike knocks Mystique down, but not out by any means. Mystique rolls through the impact and is back up almost instantly. She reacts by doing a spinning heel kick that connects with Donatello’s face.

Mystique follows with several strikes in rapid succession - using both her hands and feet. She’s trying to overwhelm the teenage mutant, but it’s not working. Donatello adjusts on the fly, using the length of his staff to keep just enough space between them. He blocks high, shifts low, then snaps the staff across her side.

But Mystique doesn’t just take the hit — she uses it to her advantage. As the staff connects, she pivots with it, stepping toward Donatello and drives a sharp elbow into his ribs, followed by a fist to his face, and a low leg sweep that nearly sends him to the ground.

At the same time, Donatello pulls a small device from his belt and tosses it next to Mystique. She notices it and tries to move out of the way, but Donatello blocks her escape path, and then activates the device. The device snaps open instantly, projecting a tight lattice of glowing energy bands that surge upward and wrap around her limbs and torso, locking her in place. The containment net restricts her movement to the point that this fight can’t continue.

Alright, let’s just get into it! Darth Vader vs. Zeus. It’s a clash between the dark side of the Force and the ruler of Mt. Olympus himself. Now, this version of Zeus carries himself like he’s untouchable.

The ego is noticeable, but we’ll see if it ends up being a weakness. Vader, on the other hand, doesn’t care about theatrics — he’s methodical, controlled, and absolutely ruthless with the Force.

When the fight begins, Zeus doesn’t hesitate. Lightning cracks in the throne room. Zeus launches a bolt towards Vader. But the former Jedi raises a hand, and you can almost feel the shift. The energy bends, disperses, dragged off course by sheer Force control. Darth Vader steps forward.

Zeus grins, clearly amused, and hurls the thunderbolt with full force this time. Again, Vader doesn’t dodge. He catches it mid-flight with the Force, the ground nearly cracking beneath him as Vader sends it back towards Zeus. Zeus merely turns his head as the bolt goes past him.

What stands out to me right away is how different their approaches are. Zeus is loud, aggressive, and overwhelming from the start, while Vader is completely composed, almost like he’s testing the limits of what he’s dealing with.

That’s the moment things change. Zeus is irritated now, but he’s dealing with someone durable and someone who can turn his own power against him. The casual confidence starts to slip, and you can see him actually preparing to move instead of just throwing attacks.

Zeus finally closes the distance. He moves fast, heavy, and with overwhelming power - swinging in with raw strength backed by bursts of lightning that ripple off his body. Vader doesn’t rush to meet him head-on. Instead, he holds his ground for a second longer than expected, then ignites his saber and steps into the attack.

The clash is immediate. Vader is forced slightly backward, as he swings his crimson saber. Vader’s boots grind into the floor as Zeus sends huge bolts of lightning in front of him, only six feet away. Zeus notices, and escalates, pouring more power into it until the entire space is crackling and shaking under him.

Vader makes his move, not through an opening but through sheer persistence. He presses forward, saber up, taking partial impacts that light up his armor. When he finally reaches Zeus, 

Vader presses his saber forward and, for the first time, Zeus is forced to react to something that isn’t lightning. A direct, immediate threat is right in front of him.

In that split second, Vader strikes. The saber cuts across Zeus’ side, cutting into his torso deep enough to break Zeus’ momentum and forcing him to stagger back. Vader immediately follows with a second diagonal slash that drags across his upper chest. Before Zeus can recover Vader uses a brutal Force push (aiming directly at the wounded torso) that sends Zeus crashing hard onto the throne room floor. 

Zeus tries to rise immediately, but Vader is already on him again. Using the Force, Vader yanks Zeus forward right into a follow-up saber strike that goes into Zeus’ shoulder and forces him back down onto one knee. Vader doesn’t let the rhythm break. He pulls a shattered column piece and slams it into Zeus with like a battering ram.

Vader stands over Zeus, saber humming, completely in control of the space. Zeus is still alive — but he’s lost the high ground.

High-tech genius versus space ranger. That’s the matchup today as Lex Luthor (in his armored Lexosuit) is taking on Buzz Lightyear, equipped with his jetpack, laser, and unshakable confidence.

Lex activates the Lexosuit, green energy crackling along his chestplate. Buzz zooms forward, jetpack flaring, aiming for a quick strike with his laser.

Lex isn’t worried, as his energy shields absorb the blasts. Lex responds with blasts of his own. He fires back from his arm cannons.

Buzz has to act fast! He adjusts, barely dodging the lasers. While he does this, Buzz fires a rapid series of laser bolts while weaving between debris. Buzz gains altitude, but Lex surges forward.

Lex lands a precise midair strike, disabling Buzz’s jet briefly and forcing him to crash-land. Lex hovers above, triumphant. Buzz is capable, but the Lexosuit is too powerful and durable in this situation.

When sheer force meets unstoppable momentum, it’s going to get messy. 

Today, Rhino faces Ram-Man — two living battering rams built to smash anything in their way.

Ram-Man crouches low, helmet forward, ready for his head-first charge. Rhino snorts and lowers his horn. They charge. They collide with a thunderous boom! Both of them stagger back from the impact.

Rhino recovers first and swings a massive fist. Ram-Man ducks, rebounds off a nearby boulder, and launches a spring-loaded headbutt that lands hard against Rhino’s chest. 

Ram-Man attempts a spinning tackle, but Rhino grabs him and slams him to the ground with bone-jarring force. 

Rhino lunges, swinging for a crushing blow, but Ram-Man counters with a head-first slam that rattles Rhino.

They each take a step back. They crash into each other again — this time without as much momentum but still hitting hard.

Rhino is too strong, though. He reacts by lifting his shorter opponent up, slamming him to the ground, and jumping on him, both feet right on top of Ram-Man — and this time, he stays down.

Rhino stands over the smaller warrior, breathing heavy but still unbroken. The immoveable object has defeated the unstoppable momentum.

Today is about two commanders with two completely different kinds of warfare. Captain Pike has  raw, instinctual starship leadership. He’s proven that time and time again.

However, he’s going up against Grand Admiral Thrawn - a cold, strategic genius.

Pike doesn’t waste time talking. He closes the distance fast, throwing the first punch. 

But Thrawn doesn’t meet the attack head-on. He sidesteps, using the mere seconds to analyze the opponent in front of him.

Pike swings again, forcing the Chiss admiral back. He lands a solid hit.

Thrawn is already adapting. He redirects Pike's momentum and sends him stumbling away. The admiral isn’t necessarily stronger, but he reads the fight like a puzzle.

Pike comes back harder and quickly tackles Thrawn. Both men crash to the ground, with Pike trying to overpower Thrown.

Thrawn slips free just enough to regain some space. Pike pushes forward again… but Thrawn is ready and waiting - maybe even luring him in.

The Grand Admiral twists sharply, throwing Pike down with a judo-style throw.

Captain Pike reaches for his phaser, but Thrawn catches his wrist, and the weapon skids across the floor. Thrown and Pike both go for it. Thrawn gets it first, flips over, and fires a single shot - which drops the Captain where he stands.

Thankfully, the phaser was set to “Stun.” Thrawn stands over the unconscious Starfleet officer, but even in defeat Pike proved to be exactly what Thrawn expected: aggressive, fearless, and tough.

A pair of kunais or magical arm bands, otherwise known as rings? Those are the weapons at play here, but there’s a lot more than that going into this fight as Scorpion battles The Mandarin.

The air hums with tension. Scorpion ignites his chains, fire erupting from his fists and claws. Every swing leaves scorched marks on the ground. Across from him, Wenwu stands poised, the ten rings spinning around his arms, glowing with controlled, deadly energy.

Scorpion lashes out first, hurling a chain of flames like a whip. Wenwu counters with his own whip-like structure as the rings connect with blue electric energy.

He then immediately counters on Scorpion, striking with the kinetic force of the rings. The ten rings all aimed at Scorpion’s head lunge forward one after the other. Scorpion, not used to an attack like this, staggers and ducks. But he adapts quickly.

He lunges, his kunais whooshing forwad. Wenwu forms a ring shield, and returns with a concussive pulse that knocks Scorpion sideways. 

Recovering midair, Scorpion slams both fists down, sending a shockwave of fire across the terrain — the Mandarin narrowly vaults out of range.

The chaos intensifies and quickness picks up. Scorpion spins, a kunai darting out. Wenwu twirls rings around him, blocking the attack and then darting forward as well.

Scorpion quickly dodges the attack. He then removes his mask and unleashes hellfire, but Wenwu spins his rings quickly, putting the fire out. Wenwu steps forward, rings spinning lethally, leaving no gaps. 

Scorpion roars, but he cannot reach the Mandarin without getting blasted by the deadly precision of the ten rings. 

Wenwu remains standing, calm and in control. The spinning rings settle and the battle is decisively over.
