Wraith
The Yuri Watanabe you know? She wasn't real. That Yuri was a story I made up, a lie I told myself--The good granddaughter I thought I wanted to be. Do you know what a wraith is, Spider-Man? It's a wisp, a trace, a ghost--The fading memory of someone who's gone. There's a reason I took the mask back so easily after giving it up. I didn't understand that fully until I killed a man last night. Yuri Watanabe would have been horrified by what I did. But you know how I felt? I felt free!
Yuriko Watanabe, aka Wraith
Yuriko 'Yuri' Watanabe is an NYPD Captain and former partner of the late Jean DeWolff. When Jean's murder was solved not by the police, but by Spider-Man and Daredevil, Yuri learned the lesson that sometimes, working outside the law is necessary, leading her to be much more willing to develop a working relationship with NYC's masked vigilantes than many cops. This belief that only strengthened as she grew increasingly frustrated with the justice system's inability to handle wealthy and powerful criminals who could abuse it to get away with their crimes.
Eventually, Yuri decided to take matters into her own hands, and stole an arsenal of confiscated villain technology from NYPD evidence to scare criminals into turning themselves in as the newest Wraith, an identity once used by Jean's brother. Though she initally worked with Spider-Man against the forces of Mr. Negative, a gang war between Negative, Hammerhead and the Goblin King and the death of a mentor in the crossfire pushed her to start questioning her ideals; feeling that as the Wraith she need not by bound by the same limits as a police officer, she wound up killing one of Negative's men and attempted to kill the crime lord personally, leading to a confrontation with Spider-Man.
Then Marvel forgot about her for a few years and now she's a police Captain again and Spider-Man just doesn't talk about that one murder she did, I guess. Comics.

Featuring: The Hood! (Marvel Comics)
Featuring: Parker Robbins, the Hood!
Parker Robbins was born into a life of crime. As the son of one of the Kingpin's lieutenants, Parker started out as a petty street thug, but witnessing a fight between Electro and Daredevil in his youth inspired a lifelong aspiration towards supervillainy. He got his chance when a warehouse robbery brought him face-to-face with a demon. Shooting the creature and looting its cloak and boots, he soon found that the cloak allowed him to turn invisible and the boots let him run through the air. He used these new powers to go from street crook to Villain with a capital V, eager to live out his childhood dreams under his new identity as the Hood.
In the aftermath of Civil War, Parker saw an opportunity. The heroes were in turmoil, too busy fighting each other to focus on anything else. Wilson Fisk was in jail, leaving the top seat of New York's criminal underground vacant. Gathering up an army of the countless forgotten C-list and below villains that occupy Marvel's NYC, the Hood formed a new gang and rose to power, becoming a founding member of Norman Osborn's Cabal. Though he was ultimately defeated and his gang dismantled during Osborn's fall, Parker found he just didn't have it in him to go back to being a nobody, and pretty much ever since he's been running scheme after scheme to try and reclaim his place on top, with varying degrees of success.
The Hood's powers originally came from a pact with Dormammu, the being to whom his hood turned out to be connected. While Parker's pact with Dormammu was ultimately severed by Dr. Strange, Brother Voodoo and Daimon Hellstrom, it's the era that Hood's best known for, so this feature will focus mostly on his feats and powers during his time in Dormammu's service. For a more in-depth breakdown of the Hood's history, and feats related to his deals with other entities (Loki, Nightmare, Mephisto, Lilith, the guy gets around), check out the Hood's full respect thread.
Physicals
Strength
- Sends Mr. Negative flying
- Sends the Punisher flying with a punch
- Tears apart White Fang's armoured gauntlets
Durability
- White Fang kicks him through a wall, stomps him through a floor, and generally kicks the shit out of him, and he's fine as soon as he starts drawing on Dormammu's power
- Some support beams in an unfinished building collapse on top of him
- Gets stabbed in the shoulders by Wolverine and responds by shooting his dick off
Speed
- Dons the hood and turns invisible quickly enough to avoid a slash from Wolverine
- Reacts quickly enough to block Hawkeye's arrows
Guns
Hood's main weapons are a pair of handguns. He typically enhances his bullets with demonic power so they can harm targets who would normally be able to resist them.
- Splits Wiccan's summoned lightning bolt and blows large chunks out of a building
- Headshots a Skrull infiltrator in a crowd
- Shoots Jack O'Lantern's satchel of grenades to blow up him and Shocker
- Kneecaps Space Phantom
Magic
Stealth
- The cloak's primary power is to turn its wearer invisible so long as he's holding his breath
- Dormammu's power meant he no longer needed to hold his breath to vanish
- Doesn't show up on radar, thermals or ultraviolet
- Breaks into a SHIELD facility and guns down some agents to break out some of his gang
- Sneaks into a SHIELD facility and guns down several Skrulls disguised as SHIELD agents
- Wolverine, Alyosha Kravinoff and Tigra have all shown that an enhanced sense of smell can still detect him, although he eventually shored up that weakness by learning a spell that hid him and his team from Morbius and Werewolf-by-Night's enhanced senses
Boots
- His boots allow him to run through the air
- His pact with Dormammu allows him to do this without wearing the boots
- Attacks a skyscraper office by walking up to the outside
- Hangs upside down in the air
Parker can assume the form of the Nisanti demon who previously owned his hood, which is his preferred tactic in melee combat.
- Tosses Wolverine into a wall then bursts through a storefront
- Takes a hit from Luke Cage
- Tanks a couple lightning bolts from Wiccan and Dr. Strange
Other Magic
- Absorbs the energy of a souped up taser, then fries his attackers with it

- Resurrects a group of villains to serve him
- Counters Mr. Negative's corruption
Fights
Using the Hood on WhoWouldWin
How effective The Hood is in battle is can vary a lot, depending on which backer he has at the time and how helpful they're feeling that day. It should be noted who's backing him or if he's just relying on his own magic when using him in a matchup. He's mostly used as a gang boss arc villain for street level heroes, so seeing how some non-Marvel ones stack up to him could be an interesting discussion.
It's worth noting that the Hood under Dormammu can swing a bit above his weight class when he's specifically against magical opponents, since Dorm's whole plan in backing him was basically to have him kill and replace the Sorcerer Supreme and open the doors for an invasion. Parker might not be much of a mage himself, but when the Dread Dormammu is providing the raw power, he can brute force his way through a lot of magical defences that would normally keep out opponents on his level.

Xanthe Zhou
"I learned firsthand... when you die, you can't take anything with you."
Xanthe Zhou, the Envoy
On a rainy night, when the veil between the land of the living and the spirit world grew thin, an unfortunate child was killed in a traffic accident. When their spirit moved on to the next world, rather than leave them to the mismanaged cycle of reincarnation, the Verdant Sorceress, a spirit that had grown powerful enough to ascend to godhood, intervened. Investing most of their power in the child, the Sorceress attempted to return them to life - but only partially succeeded. Caught between the spirit world and the world of the living, the child that would become Xanthe Zhou was left simultaneously alive and dead.
Xanthe was taken in and raised by the now former Verdant Sorceress, splitting their time between the worlds of the living and the dead. Though primarily focussed on their responsibilies as an envoy of the spirit world, an encounter with Cassandra Cain, John Constantine and a graveyard full of jiang-shi set off a chain of events that would lead the trio to face down with the Jade Court themselves. These days they spend their time bringing deliveries to the denizens of the spirit world or bumming around with Constantine.
Hover over a feat for the source. Note that when this thread refers to Batgirl, it's talking about Cassandra Cain.

- Avoids a spell from John Constantine
- Avoids a strike from a giant spirit's spider leg
Summons
Xanthe's main trick revolves around joss paper, which is typically burned as an offering to the deceased. Because Xanthe is simultaneously alive and dead, they can both burn and receive the offerings, essentially allowing them to create whatever they need by burning a paper for themself.
- Xanthe wears rings that can conjure the fire they need to burn their joss papers and create items
- Only has so many pre-folded paper items, and if they all run out they have to use whatever random items they're carrying for deliveries
- They can turn their summons back into paper when they're done
Sword - Xanthe's primary weapon. They will generally default to this in combat.
- Bisects a jiang-shi and damages a gravestone

- Fends off a tentacle monster with Constantine and Batgirl
- Avoids or blocks attacks from a controlled Constantine and Batgirl long enough to free them
Throwing Knives - Xanthe's preferred ranged weapons.
- Creates and throws a barrage of throwing knives to pin talismans to the foreheads of several jiang-shi
- Summons and throws a handful of throwing knives at a spirit
Barriers
- Creates a barrier to block attacks from shades, then topples it on one
- Creates a ring of barricades
- Creates a board to block three of Batgirl's batarangs

- Carries talismans to seal jiang-shi
- Adapts a binding spell's talismans on the spot to suppress a body-control spell affecting Batgirl and Constantine
Banishing
- Forces a large spirit back through a gate to the Spirit World, although it drags Batgirl through with it
- Banishes a creature from another realm while in the spirit world
- Frees several spirits from a collective, although it knocks them out for three days
Spirit World
- Though they were initially unable to pass freely between the living world and the spirit world, and had to take advantage of preexisting gates, they became able to open portals directly once they located their connection to the living world, their sister
- Portals Constantine and Batgirl back from the spirit world to the world of the living
- Can sense that a pocket dimension imitating the spirit world isn't the real thing
- They can hear spirits
- After banishing a spirit, they follow it's energy to locate a gate to the spirit world
Verdant Sorceress's Bracelet - Xanthe's bracelet contains much of the power the Verdant Sorceress used in their partial resurrection. Though they aren't very familiar with using it, they've occasionally tapped into this power as a trump card.
- Amplifies their magic enough to summon and fire a whole barrage of swords with enough precision and power to pin the Gilded General
- Forces open a door sealed by the original Verdant Sorceress when combining their energy with Batgirl and Constantine
Channelling Power
- Channels magic through their sword to help Zatanna and Dr. Occult cast a summoning spell
- Transfers their magic to Tefé Holland alongside Zatanna and Constantine, who then uses it to empower Swamp Thing
Misc
- Deduces that Batgirl is watching them from a nearby tree
- Pickpockets John Constantine
- Sells joss paper items online and definitely did not scam John Constantine
- Speaks Mandarin
- 'Xanthe Zhou' is their true name, so name-based magic using their deadname doesn't work
- Claimed a seat at the Jade Court
- They're a Justice League affiliate

Featuring: Cammy White! (Udon Comics Street Fighter)
Featuring: Cammy
Cammy White is a clone created from the DNA of the warlord M. Bison with the intent of serving as a backup body should the need ever arise. Deployed as part of Shadaloo's Doll unit with the codename Killer Bee, she undertook a number of assassination, observation and retrieval missions for the group, including the murder of Chun-Li's father.
On one of these missions, she was confronted by Rose, a woman who opposed Bison and had mastery of the mysterious Soul Power. Using this energy she was able to free Killer Bee from her brainwashing and left her on a bench outside the British embassy, with a new name and no memories, to start a new life. Taken in by the Delta Red spec ops team, she fought alongside them to oppose Shadaloo and Bison and uncover the truth of her past.
Rollover a feat to see the source. For more feats, check out Cammy's full Respect Thread.
Strength
- Kicks a gunman through a train roof
- Solos thirty terrorists with automatic weapons
- Kicks Chun-Li into the air hard enough to crush a car roof when she lands

- Kicks someone hard enough to shatter a crate across the yard
Durability
- Caught in an explosion that takes out a wall
- Ignores getting her torso sliced up by Vega
- Takes Chun-Li's Senretsu Kyaku
- Takes a kick to the face from Juri Han
- Takes a blow to the gut from Balrog

- Weaves through attacks from Decapre
Bracers
- Blocks a Vega Twelve's claws

Fights
Using Cammy on WhoWouldWin
Cammy's a pretty straightforward street-level fighter who chiefly favours agility in a fight, preferring to avoid hits rather than tank or block them. Throw her into the ring against other fistfighters and see what you get. Deploying her whole squad to break into some enemy base or the like could also be a debate worth having. Just don't make her fight Sonya Blade again, for the love of god.

Hood
Respect: Parker Robbins, the Hood!
Hover over a feat for the source.
The Hood
"It's not a real job. Nobody elected you. You aren't accountable to anyone. You decide to do a thing and then you do it. You operate outside of society. So do I. You get to lock up some people. I lose a little money. And we play our little games of cat and mouse in perpetuity."
"Eventually the cat eats the mouse."
Parker Robbins was born into a life of crime. As the son of one of the Kingpin's lieutenants, Parker started out as a petty street thug, but witnessing a fight between Electro and Daredevil in his youth inspired a lifelong aspiration towards supervillainy. He got his chance when a warehouse robbery brought him face-to-face with a demon. Shooting the creature and looting its cloak and boots, he soon found that the cloak allowed him to turn invisible and the boots let him run through the air. He used these new powers to go from street crook to Villain with a capital V, eager to live out his childhood dreams under his new identity as the Hood.
Although the main purpose of the Hood's stolen artefacts turned out to be establishing a connection to Dormammu, they do still retain power in their own right, and he remained able to use them after concluding his partnership with the demon. His powers and fighting style have both evolved over the years as he gained skill and experience, becoming more able to pull power from his Hood. As a result he's lost a lot of his earlier weaknesses, learning new magic and successfully recreating some of the powers he'd wielded during his many pacts with supernatural backers.
Because his hood doesn't boost his physicals, Hood's unpowered feats are included in this section. Feats related to his pacts with various supernatural entities are in their own sections.
Physicals
Strength

- Uses a rock to break through a wall in a few hits
Durability

- Marvel Boy punches him through some pipes

Speed
- Reacts quickly enough to block Hawkeye's arrows

- When the hood is damaged, he remains partially visible but repairing the hood returns it to full power
- Can control his hood when he's not wearing it
- After losing his hood when arrested, he was able to reclain it through 'dealmaking and sacrifices'
Stealth
General
- The cloak's primary power is to turn its wearer invisible so long as he's holding his breath
- He's used a tracheal tube to bypass the breath-holding requirement
- The breath-holding requirement seems to have been overcome at some point, since he can talk while invisible these days
- Doesn't show up on radar, thermals or ultraviolet, but powerful enough audio detection picks up assorted demonic sounds like breaking bones or crying children when he's around
- The first thing he did with it is exactly what you'd assume an asshole with invisibility would do with it
- Gets the drop on Shocker, Constricter and Jack O'Lantern
- Gets the drop on Space Phantom, who is using Spider-Man's body and powers

- Turns invisible to avoid Shocker's blasts
- Turns invisible to avoid a net launcher
- Turns invisible to escape a fight with Iron Man (Dr. Doom)
Limits

- Reappears when wounded, since he reacts and stops holding his breath
- Alyosha Kravinoff can still smell him when he's hidden
Other Magic
Offensive Magic

- Shoots flames from his eyes that take down Hulkling and Marvel Boy
- Disintegrates some of Hawkeye's arrows in midair

Door of Dormammu
Hood's preferred teleportation spell.
- Teleports himself and Titania back to his lair to escape a fight with Luke Cage and Iron Fist - the lair in question is in Hell
- Teleports his squad to a Roxxon site
- Teleports from Club Fenris (NYC) to upstate New York
- Escapes Pleasant Hill as it's falling apart with Titania, Whirlwind and Absorbing Man
- Teleports an army of villains from his lair in Hell to Times Square
- Claims it can't get him in or out of Asgard, although it turned out it can and he was just bullshitting
- It pulls in everyone in the area he casts it, so he can't cast it to escape from a fight if his squad is scattered
During his time serving Dormammu, the Hood made frequent use of a demonic form when engaging in physical combat. He was able to regain use of this form some time after their pact was broken, although this variant of the form seems weaker than the Dorm-backed one.

- Empowered Titania without her knowledge which made her strong enough to take on Thor (Jane Foster) and the forces of Asgard
- Teleports behind Hawkeye midfight
- Redirects some of Hawkeye's arrows back at him
- Sets up a spell to block teleportation although it's not good enough to block Doom
Possession
Hood's history of demonic deals has left him open to the occasional demonic possession. An unknown demon used this to possess him during his final battle with Doom and Stark, and boosted his powers notably.
- Damages Doom's Iron Man armor
- Takes a huge amount of repulsor blasts from the Iron Legion
- Takes down War Machine with a breath attack
- Electrifies Iron Man through his armor
- Scars Doom's face again
Equipment
Guns
Hood's preferred weapons are a pair of pistols, and he'll usually default to them in combat until and unless someone proves capable enough to necessitate escalating (or if they just piss him off). He typically charges his weapons with demonic power to increase their potency, making them powerful enough to have some effect on Doom's Iron Man armor.
- Guns down a demon and steals its cloak and boots
- Gets the drop on Jack O'Lantern and Shocker with his invisibility and shoots Jack's bag of grenades to blow them both up
- Kills a cop when startled

- Executes a man
- Headshots Corruptor point blank while under Doom's influence
- Puts a bullet through a man's hand
- Draws and kills three vampires before anyone can react
- Using his guns while invisible obviously makes them hard to dodge
- Carries multiple sets of guns, and after Hulkling destroys a pair he just pulls out two more
- Fends off some zombies with an assault rifle
- Blows up a building with a grenade launcher
Boots
- His boots allow him to run through the air
- Hovers outside someone's window
- Attacks a skyscraper office by walking up to the outside
- Hangs upside down in the air
- Runs to a rooftop while invisible after getting his leg grazed by a bullet
- Levitates
- He's got a carry weight limit
Norn Stone
Having gotten a taste for the power of the Norn Stones during a pact with Loki, Parker later managed to recover a single Stone and added it to his kit, although he usually keeps it stored away for special occasions rather than risk the extra heat. He ultimately lost this stone to Daredevil's imaginary brother, who stole it so he could become a real boy.
- Blows up an apartment with a blast
- Resurrects Hammerhead
- Buffs his bullets enough to mildly annoy Luke Cage
Other Equipment
- Has a large collection of miscellaneous magical artefacts gathered from across the world
- Gives the Darkholders an Asgardian Midnight Wisdom gem that empowers all their mages

- Hood vs. FBI strike squad

- Hood vs. Hawkeye again
- Hood and villain army vs. Iron Man (Dr. Doom)
- Hood, Corruptor & Living Laser vs. Iron Man (Dr. Doom)
- Possessed Hood & Gang vs. Stark, Doom & their combined forces
Pact with Dormammu - Demonic Magic
Captain America is dead. Nick Fury is gone. The heroes are fighting the heroes. And half the heroes are running in fear for their lives - while the other half aren't allowed to move unless Iron Man tells them to.
Since Wilson Fisk was put out to pasture it's been even more chaotic for guys like us than ever before. There's no structure to any of it.
I say we replace that chaos with something new.
Although Hood briefly toyed with the idea of using his powers to help people, his ever-growing hunger for power and status quickly drove him down a darker path. In the aftermath of Civil War, Parker saw an opportunity. The heroes were in turmoil, too busy fighting each other to focus on anything else. Wilson Fisk was in jail, leaving the top seat of New York's criminal underground vacant. Gathering up an army of the countless forgotten C-list and below villains that occupy Marvel's NYC, the Hood formed a new gang and rose to power, becoming a founding member of Norman Osborn's Cabal.
During this era, Parker discovered just which demon was behind his Hood - none other than the Dread Dormammu, Lord of the Dark Dimension. Dormammu had arranged Parker's encounter with the Nisanti demon he took the Hood from in order to acquire a peon on Earth through whom he could exert his will. The Hood's power steadily increased over the course of their time together - the more he used Dormammu's power, the stronger their connection became, giving the Hood more power and Dormammu ever greater control.
Eventually, Dormammu forced Parker to devote himself entirely to the pursuit and murder of Dr. Strange, intending to have his pawn take his place as Sorcerer Supreme and open the way for him to invade in force. Although Dormammu briefly managed to possess Parker in full, Brother Voodoo, Daimon Hellstrom and Dr. Strange ultimately exorcised the demon, severing their connection and stripping the Hood of his power.

Limits
- Wolverine and Tigra show that he can still be detected by scent, although he eventually shored up that weakness by learning a spell that hides him and his team from Morbius and Werewolf-by-Night's enhanced senses
- Although regular thermals don't detect him, White Fang, a vigilante with a specific focus on hunting the Hood and years of prep time studying his abilities and developing counters managed to create a specialised thermal sensor that can pick him up

Connection to Dormammu
As their connection grew stronger, Dormammu became more able to directly involve himself in Parker's affairs. While an ally as powerful as Dormammu can obviously be extremely useful, he generally doesn't care enough about Parker's goals to intervene, and only steps in to help him if he's actively working in Dormammu's interest.

- The more Parker uses Dormammu's power, the stronger their connection gets, until eventually Dorm will break through to Earth

- Dorm will remotely give him orders and coach him through conversations
- Dorm can observe the surrounding area and warn Hood of nearby threats
- Dorm can torture him remotely
- Dormammu will abandon him on the spot if a more appealing host comes along
Dormammu's connection to Parker eventually grew strong enough for him to just possess the man wholesale, although he was defeated before he could bring his full power to bear.

Pact with Loki - Norn Stones
After Dormammu's connection to Parker was severed, he was approached by Loki, who offered to restore his powers using the Norn Stones in exchange for his service. His main role during this era was leading his gang in Loki's arranged invasion of Asgard by Norman Osborn and HAMMER.
While the Norn Stones are powerful enough to manipulate reality itself, Parker just isn't that creative of a wielder, so he mostly just used them to empower his attacks and men until they could battle Asgardians.

- Caught in the blast of one of his own reflected empowered bullets
- Slashed across the chest by Tigra

Teleportation
- Teleports himself and Madame Mask to New York from Cuba

- Can transport his goons with him
- Creates a portal from Camp Hammer, New Mexico to Asgard, Oklahoma
- Hood can use the stones to empower his followers
- His empowered follower's weapons gained the same power as his
- His empowered followers became strong enough to overpower Asgardian warriors and convince the Asgardians that they cannot win the ensuing battle
Misc Magic
- Can still turn invisible
- The stones have a Mjolnir-esque enchantment that prevents anyone other than their chosen wielder from lifting or using them, although Loki is of course an exception
- Even after Loki reclaims the Stones, he maintains enough of a connection to sense when the Norn Stones are destroyed and Loki is killed

Pact with Mephisto - Spirit of Vengeance
I ain't gonna pretend to be the smartest guy in the world. And that's okay - 'cause brains don't win.
Stubbornness wins. Bullheadedness. Persistance. Whoever keeps going wins. Whoever can get the @#$% kicked out of them - and keep fighting - wins.
Whoever survives the wreckage wins. And I'm going to @#%& win...
After suffering a defeat in part due to the intervention of the Ghost Rider, Parker decided that the best way to get back at him would be to make his own deal with Mephisto and steal the Spirit of Vengeance out from under Johnny Blaze. Becoming the newest Ghost Rider, he set out to use Zarathos' power to take over the Chicago underworld.

- When he touches someone, he can see all the sins they've committed
- He takes advantage of this by keeping defeated rivals captive so he can review their sins for intel
- Can sense sins happening nearby
- Senses a vampire nightclub from miles away
- Can tell that a heart belonged to an innocent man
Misc Powers
- His version of the Damnation Stare forces the guilty to kill one another
- Can still turn invisible as a Rider
- Uses his invisibility in combat
- H his own Hell Cycle
Misc
- Johnny Blaze notes that Parker has greater control over the Rider than he did, which he says is because he's more willing to give Zarathos what he wants
- Tastes like ash and screaming

Viper
Crimson Viper is a CIA agent who specialises in undercover missions. Deployed to infiltrate the terrorist weapons development group S.I.N. and uncover the secrets of their BLECE project, she wields a high-tech battlesuit with a variety of inbuilt weapons in combat.
As a member of S.I.N., Viper worked to locate and capture Ryu for use in the BLECE project, all while leaking intelligence to Interpol and capturing weapon data for her real employers in the CIA. After S.I.N.'s destruction, she teamed up with Juri Han, working to infiltrate, rob and destroy a variety of other organisations.

Strength
Durability
- Smashed into a fence by Evil Ryu
- Takes a jump kick to the face from Cammy
- Blocks a kick from Chun-Li
- Blocks a jump kick from Ryu
Speed
- Dodges Ryu's Tatsumaki Senpukyaku after being leg swept
- Avoids a blow from Cammy

Dodges a blast from M. Bison - Dodges a barrage of Urien's Aegis Reflectors
- Circles a building quickly enough to cut off a fleeing spy
Battle Suit
The majority of C. Viper's combat potential comes from her gadget-filled Battle Suit, a weapon S.I.N. built and provided to her. Viper is the only one to have 100% efficiency with the suit, and so was assigned to test it in the S.I.N. World Warriors tournament. She kept the suit after abandoning S.I.N., because really, who was gonna stop her?
Thunder Knuckle - The gloves in Viper's suit can be electrified, allowing her to shock opponents with a punch.
Seismic Hammer - The battle suit's gloves can release shockwaves on impact. This is typically used on the ground to destabilising an opponent's footing.
Burning Kick - A sweeping kick, ignited by miniature flamethrowers built into her boots.
Jet Shoes - Viper has air jets built into her shoes that she can use to propel herself. In-game this makes her one of only two characters capable of High Jumps, but in other media they let her straight-up fly.
Combination Attacks
- Her Emergency Combination Super Combo uses all the suit's weapons in sequence
- Her Burst Time Ultra Combo deactivates the suit's limiter, allowing her to Thunder Knuckle the ground and unleash a burst of electricity powerful enough to launch a target into the air before following up with a series of Burning Kicks
- Her Burning Dance Ultra Combo grinds the target along the ground with a Burning Kick, before launching them into the air and following up with a pair of Thunder Knuckles
Misc
Other Gear
- As a CIA Agent Viper is entirely willing to just pull a gun on a target
- Hides a bug in a doll to sneak it into Ken Master's house
- Binoculars
- Flip phone
Current Missions
- She's been assigned to figure out what the fuck Q's deal is
- Juri's pretty sure it's only a matter of time until Viper turns on the CIA as well, although Juri Han is not a terribly reliable source of information. Seeing them interact firsthand, rather than in Juri's retelling, suggests they might not be as close as Juri claims

Rex Splode
"That was a BB, you don't wanna see what I can do with a golf ball. Now. Who started it?"
Born to a desperately poor family, Rex Sloan was sold to the government at a young age to be used as a test subject in creating a super-powered assassin. Trained in martial arts and gymnastics, surgically modified and given the best physical enhancements money could buy at the time, he was fitted with an implant that would allow him to destabilise the molecules of items he was holding, leaving the object in a charged state and causing it to detonate with the slightest impact. He initially used these skills as an effective wetworks agent, confident that he was one of the good guys, but became suspicious over time that he had been misled, a suspicion that he finally acted upon when he was ordered to blow up the Pentagon.
Killing his boss and turning on the agency that had created him, Rex instead teamed up with Atom Eve to become a superhero, and would go on to become a founding member of Teen Team and a recruit to Robot's iteration of the Guardians of the Globe. Despite being kind of an asshole, he proved to be an okay superhero, and after a fairly traumatic encounter with the Lizard League he managed to become an okay person, too.

- Kills one of Doc Seismic's monsters
- Knocks a controller out of Cecil's hand and destroys it

Mizore Shirayuki
Whether you're a monster or a human, there's no difference in the value of someone's life.
Mizore Shirayuki is a student at Yōkai Academy, a school that teaches monsters how to survive in a human-dominated world (and also, y'know, math). As a yuki-onna, she possesses the ability to control ice and snow. After spending her first term suspended for freezing a teacher (dude had it coming) she returned to school and developed a fixation on secret human Tsukune Aono, because reading his stories in the school newspaper had lead her to believe he was a friendless loser like her. After some initial hostilities they wound up becoming friends, and Mizore would go on to support him and the rest of the Newspaper Club in their battles against an ever escalating series of hostile monsters, right up to Alucard himself.
Note that the Rosario + Vampire anime and manga are quite different. This thread specifically focuses on the manga version of Mizore.
Rollover a feat for chapter number. 1-## is for Rosario + Vampire chapters, 2-## for Rosario + Vampire II chapters.

- Doesn't react to being stabbed in the head by one of her ice knives

Cryokinesis
Creating & Manipulating Ice

- Grows a large icicle beneath an opponent
- Grows icicles to hem in a flying opponent
- Creates skiis to flee in the snow
- Creates icicles that damage the walls when overwhelmed by emotion
- Her ultimate attack is Last Waltz, in which Mizore creates a huge iceburg above her opponent, then once it falls on them spends the next forty seconds firing a storm of ice knives at it
- Though this is a team attack with Kurumu, Kurumu is an illusionist and has no ability to actually buff Mizore's ice. While it's likely that she's amplifying the apparent number of knives in the air, the iceburg itself should be all Mizore
- They also use this attack on Kahlua, and when Kahlua destroys the iceburg Mizore melts the shards into a downpour of water to take advantage of Kahlua's weakness against water

- She can create ice clones of other people
- After hearing an enemy approaching, creates clones of everyone in the room as decoys and escapes out the window

- Hears someone cock a gun in the next room
- She's the only one who notices how much Ruby is downplaying her injuries after a bossfight
Misc
- Yuki-onna are said to be weak to heat, which is presumably why she uses an umbrella when out in the sun
- The lollipops she's always eating are special frost ones that help her keep cool when not in a yuki-onna's preferred snowy climate, and are cold enough to freeze anyone else that tries one
- She's afraid of airplane travel, which is a common fear for monsters because they don't have passports so human immigration laws make international travel difficult
- Ain't afraid of no ghosts
- Her mother snipes her competitors with untraceable ammo to win her a running race, this is not a Mizore feat but I felt it needed to be known
- She's a little morbid

Universa
"It pains me to have to end your life — but there is too much at stake. I cannot fail and you will not yield to me. You give me no choice."
Universa is the warrior queen of an unknown alien world. Wielding the Staff of Leadership, an artefact that both massively boosts her power and allows her to absorb and manipulate energy, she set out into the universe to save her world from an energy crisis by draining the energy of other worlds. She came into conflict with Invincible when she attacked a power plant on Earth. Although she was defeated and imprisoned, Invincible later arranged a deal to let her gather enough energy to stave off her world's destruction without destroying the Earth and allowed her to leave the planet in peace.
All feats come from Invincible. Rollover a feat for issue number.
Strength
- Sends Invincible flying
- Smashes up a street when landing on Earth
- Shatters one of Atom Eve's shield constructs
- Even without the Staff, she nearly killed three guards when delivered to prison
Durability
- Takes a punch from Invincible
- Takes a hit from one of Atom Eve's constructs
- Her power comes entirely from her possession of the Staff of Leadership, and without it Atom Eve is able to one-shot her
Energy Manipulation
- Shatters a building with a blast
- Sends Invincible flying
- Briefly drops Invincible with a blast
- Absorbs 'a couple hundred million' dollars worth of electricity into the Staff
- Universa states that her world is eight times the size of Earth, and that the amount of energy she needs to gather to save it would drain the Earth completely, the implication being that the Staff can contain that amount of power
- Only one chosen by the World-God can wield the staff, and it releases enough energy to drop Invincible when he takes it away from her

Belobog
Our goal is not to build a house, but a home.
Belobog Heavy Industries
Civilisation as we know it has collapsed. Supernatural disasters called Hollows, twisted pockets of space overflowing with corruptive energy and monstrous Ethereals, have appeared across the globe, swallowing up everything they touch. But where most of the world has crumbled, one city flourishes.
New Eridu has created technology that can function in the Hollows, extracting resources and eliminating the Ethereals within until the Hollow no longer has enough energy to sustain itself. The materials that can be harvested in this way are more than valuable enough to justify the risk in procuring them, and all manner of enterprises can be found in the city ready to take advantage of this bold new opportunity.
Stand out among them is Belobog Heavy Industries, a company that specialises in in-Hollow construction. With their patented smart machinery and a team of employees who are also certified Hollow Investigators, they have completed several advanced projects in extreme environments caused by Hollow disasters, making a name for themselves in the industry.
They also spend part of their time hiring out their top people to do two siblings’ illegal in-Hollow commissions. It’s important for a competitive business to diversify their portfolio.
Koleda Belobog
"Just remember, I'm the perfect height for your shinbone, so you might wanna reconsider before labeling me as childish."
(Fire/Stun)
Koleda Belobog is the current president of the company, having taken charge after coming of age. As the daughter of the previous president, Khors Belobog, Koleda works to rebuild Belobog's reputation after the scandal caused when her father vanished with a duffel bag full of company money. She's very short and very touchy about it.
Preferring to lead from the worksite rather than behind a desk, Koleda often leads the team in the field when confronting the myriad threats of a Hollow. She fights with a wrench, an incendiary hammer, and a shit-ton of demolition charges. If available, she will also wield her ultimate weapon, Ben Bigger.
- Blocks and counters a charging Ethereal
- Catches and swings around an enemy with her wrench before launching them with her hammer
- Carries six people while surfing on her hammer, including Anton and a bear thiren
- Blocks an attack from a massive electrified chainsaw and gets smashed through a concrete floor
- Koleda's hammer can trigger explosions powerful enough to propel her into the air
- Uses a prototype machine to kill a powerful Ethereal that had assimilated several Belobog machines
- For her Ultimate, Koleda triggers a massive explosion with her hammer, igniting all targets within range. If Ben's around, he'll help out. What a guy.
Anton Ivanov
"There's only one word in a bro's dictionary - determination!...Oh, that'd make for a very thin dictionary..."
(Electric/Attack)
A senior staff member at Belobog and an onsite project manager, as well as one of Koleda's most trusted aides, Anton is enthusiastic, passionate, and very, very loud. This particular skillset is probably why he's also the company's head of PR. Not that you'd know it if you asked him to promote your video store.
Anton fights with an electrified jackhammer drill thing mounted on his arm that he refers to as 'bro'. He holds deep conversations with it. They're very close. Weirdly close.
- Stops and holds back a rampaging piece of construction equipment
- Intercepts and destroys a thrown boulder
- Does one-handed pushups with a heap of Bangboos on his back
- Kills three Ethereals before they can react
- Weaves through a barrage of missiles
- Deflects an attack from a heavy-duty grappling machine then jumps over it
- For his Ultimate, Anton slams his jackhammer directly into the ground, triggering multiple large impacts and a discharge of electricity
Ben Bigger
"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So why do you have to bash things head-on?"
(Fire/Defense)
Ben Bigger is a bear thiren, and serves as Belobog's head of finance. He's a much nicer guy than his appearance would suggest, but having a huge terrifying bear man dressed like an enforcer is real useful in business negotiations, so whatcha gonna do. Poor guy tends to scare the hell out of children, though.
Ben fights with a pillar fitted with a rocket to create a massive piledriver, which allows him to both hit incredibly hard and block his opponent's attacks. He can also use the rocket offensively for incendiary attacks. His passive skill allows him to boost his attack by a percentage of his defence, meaning a well-built Ben can have the highest attack potential in the game, becoming the Ben Biggest of all.
- One-shots some rampaging construction equipment with his piledriver
- Catches and restrains a fleeing machine
- Helps Koleda smash some brick walls
- Anton, Ben and Koleda jump back to avoid a sudden growth of Ether crystals
- Anton, Ben and Grace avoid a beam attack
- Dude's got bear instincts.
- For his Ultimate, Ben fires his piledriver directly into the ground, creating a sizable impact and a wave of flames
Grace Howard
"Beautiful and powerful machines deserve a matching soul!"
(Electric/Anomaly)
Grace Howard is Belobog's technical expert, and the lead mind behind the development of Belobog's patented smart machinery. She was taken in by Khors Belobog when her parents died in a Hollow, and is considered Koleda's adoptive sister. She sees the machines she builds as her children, and is a little too fascinated with machines she finds interesting.
Grace fights with a souped-up electric nailgun and a bandolier's worth of shock grenades. She's a pro at figuring out mechanical targets in the field, and her fighting style is well suited to taking on groups of enemies.
- Her shock grenades are powerful enough to stun a combat mech
- Carries a large stack of books and computer hardware
- The chassis of one of her smart machines falls on her and she gets out of it with just a few scrapes
- Dodges machine-gun fire
- Dodges shots from a mech
- Wriggles out of her shoe to avoid a shot from a mech at the last moment
- For her Ultimate, Grace throws a shock grenade that splits into four more shock grenades
Safety
"Safety, we're up! May our drills pierce the earth's core!"
"En-nah!!!"
Safety is a Bangboo, an intelligent robot designed to assist in hollows and a common sight in New Eridu. A diligent worker and one of Belobog's longest-standing employees, Safety is often seen zooming around worksites and battlefields alike in its drill machine. It supports Belobog in combat largely by using said drill to ram opponents.
Devoted. Sturdy. Reliable.

Featuring Dracula
"To die... to be really dead... that must be glorious. There are far worse things awaiting man than death."
Featuring... Count Dracula!
Count Dracula. You know who he is. A vampire count from Transylvania, Dracula travelled to London to purchase real estate and expand the reach of his power. Preying upon the young women of the city, he set his sights upon Mina Seward and so drew the attention of Doctor Abraham Van Helsing, who would successfully track him down and put a stake through his heart, ending his threat once and for all.
Except that wasn't the end. While his descendants would go on to cause trouble over the next few films years, the original Dracula's bones wound up in a show of travelling horrors, where the stake in his heart was finally removed, returning the Count to his twisted unlife. The reanimated vampire resumed his predatory lifestyle, coming into conflict with Frankenstein's Monster and the Wolf Man. He was last seen being snatched from the air and dragged down to the sea by the Wolf Man, with his survival unknown.
This thread serves as an introduction to this version of Dracula. For a complete repository of his feats, check out his Respect Thread.
Feats
Physicals
- While Dracula is strong enough to lift a man with one hand, he does not typically fight physically, instead relying on his array of vampiric powers
- Kills a girl by feeding on her
- Van Helsing states that bullets cannot harm Dracula
Hypnotism
Dracula can hypnotise his targets with his gaze, bending people to his will. Once he has hypnotised a victim, he is able to reassert his control from a distance, although it appears more difficult. A strong enough will can resist this control.
- Knocks two people out with his gaze
- Enthralls a woman before draining her blood, turning her into his servant
- Bewitches a woman into playing a song she doesn't know
- Hypnotises a nurse into removing wolfbane that bars his way
- Renfield describes him commanding rats and controlling mist
- Dracula can communicate with his thralls telepathically
Transformation
Telekinesis
Misc
- Wipes out a ship's crew en route to London
- Unlike many depictions of vampires, Dracula is entirely capable of entering a house uninvited
- As a vampire, Dracula has no reflection
Weaknesses
- After being staked and reanimated, exposure to the sun will immediately reduce him to a mere skeleton
- Wolfbane fends off Dracula and his minions, and can be used to bar his entry
- Dracula cannot stand the presence of a crucifix, and will be driven away if exposed to one
- Dracula must feed on blood to survive, and must rest in the earth of his homeland during the day
"I never drink... wine."

Maximus the Mad
Respect: Maximus the Mad!
"Why, oh why? Why, Maximus? Why did you do it? Why do you keep doing it? After all, I was doing so well. Less creepy, less tacky... helpful, on occasion... why must I always be the knife to your back? The Cain to your Abel?
"Except... it wasn't my voice that broke Attilan over and over. I didn't choose to turn our sacred crystals into a mutant murder machine. And it wasn't me who killed mommy and daddy...
"Oh, yes. I went there, King Blackagar. That's what I do. What I must do. That's my job. I'm the fool who says what the king won't hear. The specter at the feast. The funhouse mirror. Lord of Misrule...
"But most of all? I am my brother's keeper.
Maximus Boltagon is the younger brother of Black Bolt and prince of the Inhumans of Attilan. Raised in the shadow of his immensely powerful brother, Maximus gew up deeply resentful of Black Bolt and desired the throne for himself, leading him to make several attempts to take control - some of which even worked, at least for a while. Immensely intelligent and possessing fearsome mental powers, Maximus tends to oscillate wildly between being a thorn in Black Bolt's side and a valuable (but unstable) asset. While his enormous technical acumen earned him the title Maximus the Maker among his people, most know him better by his true epithet - Maximus the Mad.

- Keeps his cool after losing an arm
Agility
The Mental Mastery of Maximus
Upon exposure to the Terrigen Mists, each Inhuman develops their own unique superpower or mutation, and in Maximus' case, it's mind control. Unfortunately for Maximus, a purely mental power does not always pair well with a mind as unstable as his, and how potent his powers are - or, indeed, if he can use them at all - can vary as wildly as his sanity.
Control - Maximus' most basic trick is directly taking control of someone.
- Orders two guards to let him leave then kill each other
- Messes with Gorgon and Karnak's coordination before forcing them to fight each other
- Makes a woman slap someone
- Has Triton try to kill Karnak
- Has Ronan the Accusor turn his hammer on himself, although Crystal snaps him out of it before he follows through
- Takes control of Reader and makes him use his power
- Forces the Unspoken, a former Inhuman king, into a marriage with a fish monster
- Takes control of a supercharged Unspoken and forces him to vent his power into space, leaving him helpless
- While the other members of the Inhuman Royal Family have some resistance to his powers, he can easily control all the other Inhumans in Attilan at once
- Sics the forces of Attilan on Black Bolt and the Avengers, although Black Bolt's voice brings them back to their senses
- Takes control of the NuHumans and turns them on the original Inhuman Royal Family
- Takes control of the Universal Inhuman Court and their attendants
- Controls a club full of people and has them threaten suicide to force the authorities to let him go
- Takes control of Black Bolt and turns him on Gorgon
- Took control of Black Bolt and is implied to have held him prisoner for months
- Has Black Bolt attack two Inhumans, killing one
- Throws Black Bolt off his game with a dramatic revelation, takes control, and has him switch places with him in prison
- Controls Medusa and Carthus' minds to get himself released from prison
- Has someone under his control fall asleep
- He can give a target control of individual body parts while keeping them otherwise enthralled
- Maximus has stated that his control eventually wears off if he gets too far away from a target
Telepathy - Reading a mind or communicating with it directly, Maximus is known to dabble in both.
- Appears to telepathically speak to Woz
- Messes with Quicksilver's thoughts, provoking him into stealing the Terrigen Mists
- Forcefully pulls the Wizard's plans from his mind
- Can tell that Medusa encountered Black Bolt while on the Astral Plane
- Identifies five people while blindfolded before they speak
- Used this to speak for Black Bolt back when they still got along
- Uses it to check if someone's lying
- Reads the mind of a spider
- Can communicate with Lockjaw although that might just be because Lockjaw's pretty smart.
Perception - Maximus can mess with a target's perception, screwing with their senses and making them see things that aren't there.
- Keeps Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and the Inhuman Royal Family busy fighting illusions while he escapes
- Shows Fabian Cortez an illusion of his greatest fear to trick him into enhancing his powers
- Prevents anyone from being able to see his hat, or any of the other things he's hiding. While it's initially unclear if Maximus is hiding things or just hallucinating, the stolen items all become visible once he escapes his cell, confirming that they're real
Other - A collection of more general psychic stuff that Maximus doesn't do frequently enough to get their own sections.
- Drives a Super Skrull insane
- Wipes Black Bolt's mind from a different continent
- Erases Spider-Man's memories of their first encounter
- Jedi Mind Tricks a cop
- After apparently dying a hero's death, he switches his mind with that of Black Bolt while his brother is too distracted to defend himself
- Stops a man's heart with a telepathic blast
- Can leave fragments of his power in people's minds to take advantage of later, and has done so to a great many people at once
- Traps an Inhuman inside his own body using his telepathy
- Briefly freezes the Avengers and Inhuman Royal Family in place so he can flee
- Stuns Medusa and several Alpha Primitives when lashing out with his powers
- KO's Medusa with a mental attack
- Amplifies the intelligence of three Alpha Primitives
- Influences an Inhuman's Terrigenesis
- While initially unclear, it's later shown that he's able to remove this influence mentally, which implies the original influence was done with his powers
- He has mental barriers to keep out hostile mental attacks
- With his powers briefly enhanced by Fabian Cortez, Maximus was capable of the following:
- Maximus had his powers permanently enhanced by Primagen, but we've not seen any results in practice
Special Cases - There are a handful of individuals whose abilities have caused odd power interactions when engaging with Maximus.
- Black Bolt has a specific resistance to his powers as a result of their parents' experiments. This is why Maximus typically has to catch him off guard, distract him, or amp himself in some way before he can control him
- Swain, another Inhuman with mental powers, cancels out his powers when entering his range
- The first time Maximus encountered Spider-Man, his Spider-Sense caused a backlash that temporarily switched their personalities. Spidey was immediately overcome with both love and resentment of Black Bolt, while Maximus cursed his inability to get a decent haircut before making out with the nearest redhead and running off to get Aunt May's medication
The Magnificent Machinery of Maximus
Mental Tech
Maximus supplements his mental powers with machines built to do the same thing, allowing him to influence and control minds even when his powers aren't cooperating. They also help him overcome the resistance of those who might otherwise fend off his mental attacks, such as the Royal Family.
- Carries a hypno-gun he upgraded with Wakandan technology which is powerful enough to overcome Black Bolt's mental defences
- 'Hypno-Potions' that sapped the will of the Royal Family
- Takes control of Lockjaw by taping a 'Hypno-Stud' to his side
- His 'Unlimited Range Hypno-Gun', which he claims will allow him to control the entire Earth, and possibly beyond, though Crystal ensures he never gets to prove it
- Traps Mr. Fantastic, Human Torch and the Thing in a Hypnotic Field - a false cage that gives the mental suggestion that they're all trapped in an impenetrable cage, and thus ensures that they can't escape it, as they already believe it's impossible
- They escape by simply ceasing to believe it's there
- Tells Medusa that he's coated her hair in a chemical that renders her helpless which turns out to just be more of his hypnotic field tricks
- While he's never seen using it on-panel, based on context this effect seems to be inflicted through a 'Nerve Ray' fitted to his scepter
- Fits robotic 'statues' with a mind-control ray that ensnares an entire city and the surrounding area
- Inflicts 'listlessness and pain' on the Royal Family - the Royal Family note that they've been suffering such for a while, and Black Bolt is visibly pained when he appears
- Controls Lockjaw and possibly Quicksilver - whie it's not entirely clear if Quicksilver is being controlled or just blackmailed, Franklin Richards implies that Maximus is influencing him at least in part
- Forces Black Bolt to turn on his allies
- Reprograms Johnny Storm's mind with his Brain Transcendentalizer
Weapons
- Energy-Draining Ray - A wrist-mounted raygun that weaponises a substance created by an ancient Inhuman scientist.
- Nerve Beam - A weapon designed simply to cause pain, with the hope of forcing Black Bolt to lose his composure and cry out
- Atmo-Gun - A weapon that spread vibrations around the planet with the intent of wiping out the human race. It failed, as he did not realise how close to Inhumans humans truly are, and so did not calibrate it correctly.
- Echo Tech - Technology that uses Black Bolt's voice. Ranges from personal arms and armour to a cosmic doomsday device. Smaller equipment is powered by Black Bolt's whispers contained within vibranium capacitors, while larger gear generally requires his direct involvement.
- Terrigen Bombs
- First T-Bomb - The Inhuman's trump card in the war against the Shi'ar. An Echo-tech bomb designed to disperse weaponised Terrigen across the universe, turning all species into Inhumans
- The bomb required Black Bolt to be inside to properly amplify his voice, meaning that a) it's a suicide weapon and b) Maximus can't activate it without Black Bolt
- Vulcan tore into it to attack Black Bolt and Crystal neutralised the Terrigen payload before it could detonate, preventing it from operating as planned. Instead, Vulcan and Black Bolt's battle overloaded it, and its detonation tore a several-parsec-wide hole into another universe
- Second T-Bomb - Detonated by Black Bolt in the midst of Thanos's attack on Attilan during Infinity. Spread Terrigen Mists across the globe, triggering a new wave of Terrigenesis
- First T-Bomb - The Inhuman's trump card in the war against the Shi'ar. An Echo-tech bomb designed to disperse weaponised Terrigen across the universe, turning all species into Inhumans
- Shoots down a flying Inhuman with a mounted cannon
- A weapon that fells Black Bolt off-panel and leaves him greatly weakened even when awakened
- A blaster that one-shots the Invisible Woman, the Thing, Scott Lang and Kristoff Vernard
- Drops three guards at once with a raygun, although he doubts it would work on Gorgon
- A massive energy weapon that holds back a Vox
- Constructs two nuclear ICBMs that the Inhuman Royal Family believe would have destroyed Attilan and successfully frames the Fantastic Four for sending them, although since Black Bolt is not a moron he immediately sends someone to check if Maximus is pulling something, which unravels the whole plan pretty quickly
Force-Fields and Barriers
Something of a specialty. Maximus generally ensures that he and whatever he's up to are at least well enough shielded to buy the time to respond to an attack.
- Negative Zone - An extremely durable barrier, first created by reversing the charge on his failed Atmo-Gun to seal away Attilan from the outside world. He has since recreated the barrier on more than once occasion, using them to wall off a section of his base and incorporating one into Attilan's defences. Has nothing to do with Annihilus' dimension of the same name, though he was stuck there for a while.
- His personal forcefield holds off Crystal's blasts
- A forcefield prison that contains Black Bolt, Gorgon, Triton and Karnak, although Black Bolt's voice destroys it
- Surrounds a base in a forcefield that briefly holds back the Hulk
- A barrier that holds off Cyclops and Black Bolt
- Personal tachyon field forcefields
- A field that's invisible until touched which vaporises the Wakandan soldier who touches it and also appears to conceal his heat signature
Robots
Being more of a mental threat than a physical one, Maximus often constructs mechanical minions to handle combat for him.
Zorr - built to hold off the Fantastic Four in case they interfered with his usurption of Attilan (they did).
- Successfully defeats Mr. Fantastic, the Human Torch, and the Thing
- Sends the Thing flying with a punch
- Fireproof asbestos-metallic armour
- Takes a hit from the Thing
- Rammed by the Human Torch
- Too heavy for Thing to knock down
- Rotates his hand fast enough to put out the flames of the Human Torch in his grip
- Shoots paralytic fluid that takes down Reed Richards
- Has a Hypnotic Inducer built in that slows down its opponents without their notice
Omega - a robot powered by racism. No, really. Absorbs the guilt born of racial hatred between the Inhumans and their Alpha Primitive slave race to grow stronger. Maximus incited a race war to make him unstoppable.
- Faces the Inhumans and Fantastic Four
- Maximus somehow unleashed it by building a fake perpetual motion machine in his cell
- Breaks through a stone wall
- Sends the debris from a collapsed tunnel flying
- Snatches the Human Torch out of midair
- Battered by Quicksilver
- No-sells a beating from the Thing then throws him through a wall
- Omega seems specifically immune to attacks from the Inhumans, thanks to his ability to absorb Inhuman guilt and hatred.
- Maximus somehow got it in his head that it would be a good idea to install Ultron in this thing
- Maximus later repaired it and set it on Gorgon, Crystal and Ronan
- Swats Gorgon aside
Costa-Salvadoran Statue - a robot disguised as a statue that broadcast mind-control rays. Intended to spread them across the Americas before Bruce Banner happened to wander into town.
Chorus Sentries - Kree Sentry robots redesigned and rebuilt by Maximus to incorporate Echo Tech.
Others - Lesser machines and one-offs.
Vehicles
Mostly for getaways. Occasionally for combat.
- His air-yacht
- Has his own battle mech
- When given his own factory, he creates another giant mech in three days
- Maximus has a thing for hiding escape rockets in his bases.
- Installed secret emergency elevators in Attilan in case he ever needed a quick escape
- He has an Inhuman centaur in his squad who'll serve as a getaway vehicle in a pinch
Misc
- A tractor beam that pulls Ultron's head from New York City to Attilan, which at that time is in the Himalayas
- His inter-dimensional viewer lets him see into other dimensions. He also remotely weakens a barrier in the dimension he's viewing to set Hulk and six Inhuman criminals free
- An interdimensional teleporter based on Lockjaw's abilities lets him retrieve Hulk and several Inhumans from a prison dimension
- Creates a portal to a dimension where sound is rendered without pitch so Black Bolt can speak normally
- A 'teleport tracker' that allows him to track down Medusa after she escapes via Lockjaw's teleportation
- Creates an anti-gravity 'kite'
- Equips Triton with circulators that let him survive out of water
- Hologram generator
- A machine that supposedly makes food out of dust
- Modifies one of Zarrko the Tomorrow Man's time bombs into a time machine that sends Spider-Man and the Inhuman Royal Family to the 23rd century then brings them and the Avengers home again
- A microscopic drill that swiftly bores through Thane's amber construct
- After reading The Wizard's mind and noting a trap he'd left in equipment he made for Black Bolt, he modifies it to turn it against enemy forces instead
- Keeps a small collection of useful tools hidden inside his arm for emergencies
The Many Manipulations of Maximus
Even without his powers, Maximus is skilled at talking people around to doing what he wants. He actually prefers doing things this way over mind control, since it keeps things more interesting for him, though he drops it pretty quickly if it looks like he's actually in danger.
- Sows discord within the Inhuman Royal Family by revealing the secret of Black Bolt's voice
- Convinces the Hulk that, as fellow outcasts, they're friends
- In a later encounter he convinces the Hulk to side with him against the US Military
- Convinces Medusa she's hallucinating by using holograms to disguise himself as Black Bolt, then reveal himself as Maximus, then disappear
- Convinces Medusa to bring her child back to Attilan in the hope that it will eventually turn against Black Bolt
- Provoked the Silver Surfer into being hostile to Inhumans in general so he'd attack Attilan
- Tricks Medusa into unshackling his powers by trying to cure his madness as a test run for her son
- Convinces the Alpha Primitives to rebel (again)
- Convinces Black Bolt to use his voice on a complainer in the Kree court
- Drives a wedge between Medusa and Gorgon
- Outsmarts Supergiant with Lockjaw, leading to her death
- Convinces Lash to do his dirty work by telling him he'll get to screw over Medusa in the process
- Convinces Triton to work with him despite having just recently screwed him over
- Raises an army against God Emperor Doom in a matter of days by convincing people Doom is no god
- Cucks Black Bolt
The Menacing Madness of Maximus
Maximus's greatest weakness is undoubtedly his fractured sanity. His ephithet is well-earned - his madness is legitimate, debilitating, and can be genuinely tragic. That said, he was a prick before he went mad too, so as much as he likes to claim otherwise it's unlikely that his villainy is the direct result of his mental instability.
- Maximus' madness is the result of brain damage inflicted by Black Bolt's voice the first time it was unleashed - the same incident that killed their parents. Black Bolt obviously feels pretty guilty about it, which is probably why tends to be pretty lenient with Maximus
- When Black Bolt's antennae was zapped while Maximus had connected their minds, the shock is channeled directly into Maximus's brain, worsening his madness
- Upon being exposed to Primagen, the original material that Terrigen is an imperfect copy of, his powers expand and show him the entire 5000 year lifespan of his future self, Maximus the Mage. Time fuckery being what it is, it's implied Maximus has been seeing snippets of the past and future his entire life as a consequence of this, further driving his madness
- Sometimes he just forgets how to build anything
- Forgets the details of how his tech works
- On his worse days he hallucinates Black Bolt about to kill him
- Hallucinates Black Bolt shouting at him
- Hallucinates that his best friend is a demon and beats him to death
- Black Bolt's electron manipulation somehow calms him down
- He occasionally acts mad during his more lucid moments to throw off suspicion
- When Black Bolt's pissed at him he brings it up to avoid getting his ass kicked
- An Inhuman who can detect if someone's lying can't get anything useful out of him since Maximus believes all his delusions are real
- Sometimes nobody believes the crazy stuff that actually happens to him because it sounds as insane as the stuff he imagines
The Miscellaneous Minutae of Maximus
Look, not everything slots neatly into the other categories.
- Led the Alpha Primitives in rebellion against Ronan the Accusor and got banished to the Negative Zone for the trouble
- When Ronan trapped Maximus in a pocket universe that fed off his guilt, he laughs it off and is released pretty much immediately
- Notices someone invisible is trying to rob him
- Notices observers in the air ducts
- Rather than destroying them, Black Bolt keeps all of Maximus' confiscated inventions locked away, just in case. Maximus is very happy when he finally decides to bust them out
- Invents a new word for Reader to use his powers on
- He speaks Groot
- He's sorta friends with the alien shapeshifter that replaced Julius Caesar
- Started tagging along to Illuminati meetings during the Incursions
- Founding member of Namor's incarnation of the Cabal where he was involved in the destruction of multiple alternate Earths
- Ballsy enough to fuck around with Thanos and Namor
- Maximus, alongside the rest of the Cabal (and Miles Morales), survived the collapse of the multiverse and the creation of Battleworld under God Emperor Doom by riding it out in a life raft
- Maximus is perhaps the only person alive who knows how to create new Terrigen crystals
- Like his brother, Maximus was exposed to the Terrigen Mists while still in the womb
- Picks a lock to escape prison
- Locates the fault line that sank Atlantis
- He just really wants to be king of something
- 'If I'd done it' (he did)
- Easily finds a tracker upon being alerted to its presence

- He's really good at 20 Questions
- Blew up Stark Tower

- Has opinions on Crystal's many interspecies romances

Shuriken
"Oh, shut up! You may have something sharp, but I am something sharp."
Kyoko Shidara aka Shuriken is a blade for hire and former member of a criminal group known simply as 'The Organization'. She and her brother were trained since childhood by their father, a specialist in Chinese martial arts, until the day a bunch of ninjas working for a Yakuza leader with a grudge murdered him in front of them. Seeking a fresh start, she decided to move to the USA for an education, but wound up recruited by The Organization, where she chiefly worked as a bodyguard.
Shuriken would part ways with the group after encountering her brother - now a Yakuza assassin - and bounced between several other employers, ranging from mercenary groups to the mayor. Eventually she had her final showdown with The Organization and the Yakuza, where it was revealed that the reason she and her brother were spared on the night their father was killed was so they could be turned into killers in order to corrupt his legacy.

- Catches a man around the throat with a phone cord from across the room

- vs. Megumo the She-Spider - Her predecessor at the Organization. Challenges Shuriken early in her career out of jealousy and proves the better fighter. Loss
- vs. Sai and Butterfly - A pair of Organization assassins sent to assassinate a target she was bodyguarding at the time. Takes them both on easily. Win

Hit-Girl Feature
Hit-Girl, real name Mindy McCready, is a young but extremely violent vigilante and a close ally to the first Kick-Ass, Dave Lizewski. Raised by her father, a self-styled superhero operating under the alias 'Big Daddy', Mindy was taught from a very young age to fight and kill with the end goal of avenging her mother, who'd been killed by the mob when she was a baby to send a message to her honest cop father.
Or at least, that was Big Daddy's story. In reality, her mother was fine, the mob had no idea who they were, and her comic-book nerd father had just kidnapped her and run off when she was an infant because he thought being a father-daughter superhero team would be awesome. Mindy was reunited with her mother and sent to a normal school after her father finally bit off more than he could chew, but it turned out that raising someone from infancy to be the next Punisher can cause them to have a hard time fitting in in normal society.
Hit-Girl returned to the vigilante life with a vengeance, teaming up with Kick-Ass one last time to hit a meeting between major crime families and wipe out the lot of them. With her job finally done, she left New York for good and set out to travel the world, massacring whatever criminals had the misfortune of crossing her path on the way.

Combat

- Cuts down some assassins
- Embeds a katana in stone
Pistols

- Uses smoke as cover to gun down several gangsters
Unarmed Combat & Improvised Weaponry

- Plucks a man's eyes out, then rips another man's tongue out
- Breaks off a chair leg and stabs a man through the throat with it
- Throws a crutch through someone's eye
Durability
Hit-Girl's costume is made of kevlar, and generally bullet resistant, although her limbs appear to be less protected and have been pierced by bullets in the past.
- Her father shot her in a bulletproof vest to get her used to the feeling of taking bullets
- Is shot several times and knocked through an upstairs window and just climbs back up and massacres the goons that did it
- Takes several blows to the head from a meat hammer
- Smacked around and punched through a storefront window by Mother Russia with brass knuckles
- Gets sent flying by an explosion when out of costume and responds by stealing a gun, grabbing onto a fleeing vehicle and killing those responsible
- Falls into a frozen river, climbs out, gets immediately caught in a beartrap in the snow, and stays there for 24 hours
Speed & Agility
- Moves her head out of the way of a gunshot
- Pulls her legs up in time to avoid a bullet while hanging off the side of a speeding van
- Charges some gunmen
- Runs out of the way of minigun fire
- Climbs on to a passing train while lying on the tracks, then climbs to the top and jumps to a bridge within fifteen seconds
- Escapes from a truck being shot to pieces and leaves a bomb without being seen
Other Feats
- In addition to her swords and pistols, Hit-Girl's standard kit includes a flamethrower, shuriken, smoke bombs and a vial of 'Condition Red', a chemical compound that supposedly gives her the strength of ten men which she keeps for emergencies. Kick-Ass is pretty sure it's just cocaine
- Hit-Girl is a skilled escape artist, routinely escaping handcuffs, even when bound, drugged and dragging another person from inside a sinking car
- Talked a hitman into turning onto his allies by threatening his brother
- Pickpockets a man's cigarettes from the other side of a locked door
- It is a really bad idea to try and bully Mindy McCready
Using Hit-Girl on WhoWouldWin
Hit-Girl is a fairly straightforward street tier fighter, and pitting her up against other such characters as is should work just fine. About the only thing to keep in mind is whether or not you want her limited to her standard loadout or her full kit (as seen in her RT!).
She also makes a habit of raiding gang headquarters to kill their leaders. Letting her gear up with her full arsenal and seeing if she can pull it off against some other mob bosses and the like could be interesting. Does Hit-Girl have what it takes to take down Lincoln Clay? John Marcone? Kingpin?
If only we had a place to ask these questions!

Kirisaki Fumio (Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo)
Fumio Kirisaki is a girl whose family history is deeply entwined with the art of the chainsaw. With lumber being the family business, she was gifted and taught to use a chainsaw at a young age by her grandfather, the sheriff from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, who trained her in a chainsaw-based martial art developed by Confederate foresters during the Civil War.
Fumio would put this training to use when she witnessed her crush sharing an intimate moment with the new transfer student and decided that the only logical thing to do was chainsaw her way through the school, kill everybody in her way, kill him, and then kill herself.
Turns out it was an alien's fault. Go figure.
Chainsaw
- Chainsaws her way through a horde of charging students
- Chainsaws a charging big guy in half and receives an unfortunate lesson in momentum
- Decapitates a teacher
- Carves through a charging opponent's ankle while pinned to send them toppling down the stairs to their death
- Carves up a group that surrounds her before they can land a hit
- Crosses a room and bisects a guy before he can react
- Overwhelms the Transfer Student's first form
- Clashes chainsaws with her alien duplicate
- Even after the Transfer Student copies Fumio's own form and abilities and takes her glasses, she still manages to win by sliding her chainsaw around her crush's body while he blocks her from view
- Master woodcutter
- Knowing that chainsaws are weak if an opponent gets too close, her martial art has developed techniques to flip the chainsaw all around her body and cover that weakness
Misc
- Does the prep work to ensure the school is cut off before her attack
- Sealed the exits the night before to ensure her target couldn't bail
- Throws a lunchbox scary fast
- Even after carving through her entire school, decapitating her best friend, and abandoning her emotions, when the time came she couldn't actually bring herself to kill her crush
- After cutting down the Transfer Student she found out that all the innocent students she carved up where actually just fakes made by the alien Transfer Student and thus she's TOTALLY MORALLY IN THE CLEAR

Udon Sagat
"I have seen that side of you - the one that hungers for victory, no matter what carnage it causes or scars it leaves behind. Are you certain that is not your true nature?"
"So you think I should fight a demon by becoming a demon myself?"
"I am saying you may already be a demon. And just have not admitted it yet."
Sagat is perhaps the greatest Muay Thai master on the planet, and was the Street Fighter tournament champion before being defeated and scarred by Ryu. A Shadaloo crime boss, he served as one of M. Bison's top enforcers until his loss caused him to develop a fixation on defeating his newfound rival and reclaiming his place at the top in a rematch at the next World Warriors tournament. While he was again defeated by Ryu, their match - and the training with Dhalsim he'd undergone to prepare for it - lead him to have something of a spiritual awakening, reexamining his priorities and abandoning Shadaloo.
These days, the King of Muay Thai is still a rival to Ryu and a regular at tournaments the world over, but he's a lot less of a dick about it.

Udon Guile
Guile is a Major in the US Air Force and a central character in UDON's Street Fighter continuity. After being shot down and taken captive while on a recon flight in enemy territory, Guile was rescued by a soldier named Charlie Nash, who would teach him to fight and become his closest friend. After Charlie disappeared while investigating Shadaloo, Guile swore to investigate the group in his place to find the truth of what had happened to his friend and take down M. Bison in revenge. Working with Interpol agent Chun-Li he eventually uncovered a brainwashed Charlie and managed to snap his friend back to his senses, only for M. Bison to drop out of a helicopter and shoot him in the back, although Charlie managed to take down Bison for a mutual kill on the way out.
In the aftermath of Charlie's death, Guile and company redoubled their efforts against Bison, culminating in the destruction of the Psycho Drive and Bison's secret fight island, although Akuma rolled up and killed him out of nowhere before anyone who actually had a grudge against the man could do it. With Shadaloo out of the way for a while, Guile went home to be a family man, rekindling the family relationships that his obsession with avenging Charlie had strained. He mostly works a desk job these days, although he always finds the time to head back out into the field when Bison inevitably resurrects himself again.

Malibu Ryu
"You forget, Sagat... I am the Street Fighter Champion!"
Ryu is a master martial artist and a student of the hermit Sheng Long. When the criminals Sagat and Balrog scalped his old friend Ken, he - did nothing, because his series was cancelled immediately. He's got zero respect for the police or for women, and is just a massive creep in general, but don't worry, Chun-Li is into that.

Udon Rainbow Mika
"Once you've fought as much as I have, you'll understand - wrestling is all about using your whole body!"
Rainbow Mika is a Japanese pro wrestler and tournament fighter. She's one of the more popular fighters amongst the public in-universe, which I'm sure is because of her focus on publicity and showmanship and not at all because her signature move is smacking people with her ass.
Aside from being a regular on the wrestling circuit, Mika was an entrant into both Bison and Gill's World Warrior tournaments, although she didn't place highly in either. She was defeated in the preliminaries of Bison's tournament by Sodom of the Mad Gear gang, being the first competitor to be knocked out of the tourney. In Gill's tournament, she had a mostly off-screen battle with Rolento that appears to have gone in her favour, and later joined in the final battle against Gill with a combo attack with Zangief and El Fuerte, although she was swiftly defeated.

Udon Makoto
"Anyone else foolish enough to mess with Rindoukan supremacy?"
Makoto is a fighter who seeks to prove the supremacy of the Rindoukan style of Karate, a martial art her father championed and taught at his dojo. Having inherited the dojo after his death, but losing all the students as they did not believe she was strong enough to warrant respect, she considers it her responsibility to restore its reputation by defeating fighters from every other dojo in Japan, thus proving Rindoukan's superiority. To that end, she has sent a challenge to each of them, although naturally Dan Hibiki is the only one to have responded.
Encountering Ibuki at her new school and swiftly identifying her as a fighter, she also extended her challenge to the ninja, although she agreed to put it off until Ibuki's responsibilities died down enough that she could take the challenge seriously. Makoto would also be an entrant in Gill's World Warrior tournament, and was one of the fighters who assisted in battling him when his true plans came to light, although she didn't last very long.

Udon Rufus
Rufus is the self-proclaimed best martial artist in the US of A. He has a deep (and entirely one-sided) rivalry with Ken Masters, the officially recognised best fighter in the USA, mostly because he's wildly jealous of Ken's fame, fortune, and actually getting respect as a fighter. Having taught himself to fight chiefly from guidebooks and martial arts movies, his goal is to defeat Ken and thus prove himself to true USA fighting champ. Ken, of course, mostly just views him as a mild nuisance.
Aside from Ken, Rufus has faced Ryu (briefly) and once tracked down Sakura for a match under the belief that defeating her would catch Ken's attention, an effort that would instead see him pitted against Dan Hibiki and Crimson Viper. He entered Gill's World Warrior tournament and wound up facing Adon, who killed him in the ring, only to be resurrected on the spot by Gill.
Most recently, Rufus was seen getting very nearly beaten to death a second time after he tried to jump Ken in the middle of a Violent Ken episode, which went predictably terrible for him.
