[SIZE=5][B][I][U] Apocalypse VS King Kong[/U][/I][/B][/SIZE]
In the team description Apocalypse will be attempting to tap into the power of the Mind Stone to gain all its knowledge. The only time I recall the Mind Stone sharing information with people was, with its mind controlled victims. Even the mind controlled victims only learned information about their field of study. If Apocalypse can overcome the limitations of the gem, remaining free of its control, and reveal its information, it won’t be instant. His mind battles with Charles Xavier showed that his mental abilities weren’t instant.
While Apocalypse is trying to master, both gems King Kong will be riding across the battle field on a flaming AT-M6 enhanced with Ghost Rider powers. This will increase the slow AT-M6 speed to mach. (When Johnny Blaze rode up the side of the building all the glass shattered) given we start one mile away from Mt. Doom and 7 miles at the base, it will take about 45 seconds to reach the other side of the battle field. Though he could start firing hell fire shots from the AT-M6 as soon as he crested Mt. Doom. If Apocalypse isn’t busy trying to control the gems, then King Kong’s will have the AT-M6 firing to draw his attention until King Kong can snatch him and use the penance stare burning out Apocalypse soul. Given King Kong’s size difference Johnny Blaze the penance stare may have work at King Kong’s arms length.
[SIZE=5][B][I][U] Scarlet Witch VS Indominus Rex [/U][/I][/B][/SIZE]
Scarlet Witch is all about the magic, her mind control, and all her telekinetic abilities are all derived from magic. The Hollow absorbs any magic that is used on it. Indominus Rex will sprint to the cinder cone part of the volcano and run around the base maxing it time to efficiency. If Scarlet Witch stays in place it will take the Indominus Rex about 18 minutes to reach her. If she moves closer it will shorten the time. Anything that Scarlet Witch tries to do will be absorbed by the Hollow Symbiote, and the Indominus Rex will eat her as soon as it catches her.
[SIZE=5][B][I][U] Sebastian Shaw VS Shelob + Xenomorph [/U][/I][/B][/SIZE]
Shelob’s task is to telepathically control, or at least focus Sebastian on attacking the Xenomorph. With the suits abilities the Xenomorph will do minimal damage from any of its attacks, but the acid is highly crosive to metals. After Sebastian has killed the Xenomorph it will explode like the dogs in The Incredible Hulk. This will cover the suit/mother box with the acid. Letting the suit suffer major damage before the Xenomorph will come right back to life, and ready to fight again. After enough fights the suit will be to damaged to work. And then the alien will simply latch onto Sebastian bleeding to slowly kill him by the acid instead of a direct attack.
If Shelob’s is able to gain telepathically control of Sebastian, Shelob’s will simply make him take of the armor before wrapping him up in web to eat later. Incapacitating him for the match.
[SIZE=5][B][I][U] Legion VS Skullcrawler [/U][/I][/B][/SIZE]
The Skullcrawler is a burrower, his attack will be underground, tunneling around under the side of the volcano. He will spring out of the ground underneath Legion. Failing the surprise attack the Skullcrawler will continue to try to eat Legion. If it manages to eat Legion then it will jump into the lava to keep Legion suppressed if he manages to kill the Skullcrawler from the inside.
[SIZE=5][B][I][U] Mirage VS Blue + Smaug [/U][/I][/B][/SIZE]
Smaug will hunt by listening, and bathing large swaths of the battlefield in fire. If he sees movement or hears sound that aren’t were any other fighters are he will attack. Blue will hunting by sight and smell. Together they will flush Mirage out. They will also approach if they detect nightmares forming in an area, to scan the area for Mirage. They will not be focusing on killing or even fighting the nightmares if they can avoid it, they will be focused on finding Mirage. When they find her they will rip her Smaug will try to burn and mentally blast her, if she uses Absorption of Gravitonium to stay safe blue will move in behind her and attack. Both will continue until she runs out of energy or focus, and looses control of the gravity powers.
[SIZE=5][B][I][U] Quicksilver VS Shelob + Godzilla [/U][/I][/B][/SIZE]
Shelob will mental project for the orc armies to attack Quicksilver, they won’t be effective. But the huge orc army will take time to by pass distracting him while the others fight. Shelob will also be spreading webbing over the ground to cause a snare for Quicksilver. If Quicksilver attempts to attack Shelob then he will trip and be vulnerable to Godzilla’s beam attack.
The issue is if Quicksilver absorbs the esoteric energies he will have to be carful not to explode. If he absorbs objects like rocks, or fusses with the mountain then he will slow down and be easier to deal with. One of the weaknesses to the Gamma Mutation is that it seemed hard to stop absorbing the power once it started. Hopefully Quicksilver will target Godzilla and try to absorb the radiation, if so Quicksilver will probably overdose.
Even if the team can’t trap Quicksilver then the damage that he can do is limited, most of my team could heal faster then quicksilver could damage them. The only team member without rapid healing, immortality is Shelob who will have the traps set.
[SIZE=5][B][I][U] Godzilla [/U][/I][/B][/SIZE]
Godzilla will be firing beam attacks to keep the enemies from spreading out or escaping their fights .
[SIZE=5][B][I][U] Second Strike [/U][/I][/B][/SIZE]
Godzilla will be firing beam attacks at the enemies.
King Kong will attack in the order of Apocalypse, Legion, Sebastian Shaw, Scarlet Witch, Mirage, Quicksilver
Indominus Rex will attack in the order of Scarlet Witch, Mirage, Sebastian Shaw, Apocalypse, Legion, Quicksilver
The others will attack anyone that isn’t engaging in fighting, or any enemy that has won it’s fight.
This is darth drizzle's strategy
[Center][B][I][U][SIZE=4]The Mutants of Ragnarok vs Prehistorica Monsters Mash[/center][/SIZE][/U][/I][/B]
[U][center][size=4]Match Start[/size][/u][/center]
At the start of the fight Legion stops time around his team as Wanda/Apocalypse make impregnable sheilds around them using Power Stone/Hex energy to stop anyone with Time powers who tries to interrupt them. As Apocalypse can upgrade powers [u]simply by looking at the person[/u] he unlockis his teams full potential and maxes out their powers/abilities while giving full control over them.
Since Wanda instantly created 2 life forms inside herself she easily gives herself an X-Gene making her a Mutant and able to receive her Horseman power boost. Legion empowers Quicksilver with Space Stone energy and Telepathically gives him knowledge on how to use it's abilities to the fullest and turning him into a living Space Stone. With everything done Legion drops the Time Stop and the real fight begins.
[Center][SIZE=4][u]Fight' N Time![/u][/center][/SIZE]
[B][I][COLOR="#800080"]Apocalypse:[/COLOR][/I][/B] He targets Godzilla and teleports to him by finding his position via his own powers and the Mind Stone. Then he uses the Power Stone to blast Big G with a intense wave of pure destructive energy his body can't handle and bursts into nothingness. As the Stone has destroyed a moon and Planets even the mighty Godzilla will fall to Apocalypse wielding it's powers. He then uses his Mind Stone enhanced TK to [u]molecularly disassemble[/u] any enemies left until all are gone, starting with Shelob.
[B][U]Taken Out: Godzilla[/U][/B]
[B][I][COLOR="#FF0000"]Scarlet Witch:[/COLOR][/I][/B] She targets Shelob while flying high above him and uses her conjuration powers to make the Metebelis Crystal appear in her hands, then lift and crush the giant Spider piece by piece then atomize it to dust with a burst of energy. Next she locates Blue and throws 2 demonic fireballs combined with her magic bolts(that knock back Thanos) in a random direction, then she teleports Blue right in front of the bolts and the Raptor is disintegrated by the heat and force of the attack. Any enemy left gets the same treatment as she flies around while sheilded observing the battleground.
[B][U]Taken Out: Shelob, Blue[/U][/B]
[B][I][COLOR="#FFD700"]Legion:[/COLOR][/I][/B] He targets Shelob, Skullcrawler, Smaug, and Indomnius and using the Space Stone and his own powers he thinks of Smaug and teleports himself, Mirage, and Wanda high above and behind him. He goes intangible and as he's done before to monsters he [U]takes their minds to the Red Room in the Astral Plane[/U]. Here he outmatches and overpowers Shelob and Smaugs telepathy and traps them all in containers which locks down their conciousness leaving them unable to fight/move while bypassing their immortality and super regeneration. He then turns his attention to any enemy left and uses his twice boosted TK to [U]Atomize his enemies[/U] to nothingness. He also counters any Time effects Shelob might do.
[B][U]Taken Out: Skullcrawler, Smaug, Indomnius, and the Xenomorph[/U][/B]
[B][I][COLOR="blue"]Quicksilver:[/COLOR][/I][/B] With the energy of the Space Stone empowering him he targets Kong and zips across the 2 mile distance and targets the AT-M6. He turns the vehicle intangible and shoves it a mile underground before re-solidifying it and merging it into the planet and taking it out. He then turns his attention to Kong who should be fighting Shaw and he uses his Space Stone enhanced body to strike and energy blasts the giant until he is knocked out. He then looks for any other enemy and does the same to them until none are left.
[B][U]Taken Out: Kong[/U][/B]
[B][I][COLOR="#green"] Sebastian Shaw:[/COLOR][/I][/B] Shaw also targets Kong flies towards him covering the 2 mile distance quickly and absorbing absurd amounts of energy on the way. When reached he hits Kong with a enhanced Superman ko'ing punch that [U]explodes with the multiplying force[/U] of Motherbox energies comparable to a tactical nuke. As Kong is still reeling from the blow he keeps up the assault as he speeds around punching Kong with explosive force until the giant goes down. Any hits Kong does land is absorbed and given back multiple times over and quickens his defeat.
[B][U]Taken Out: Kong[/U][/B]
[B][I]Mirage:[/I][/B] After Legions teleport the Invisible Mirage sheilds herself and targets Blue, Shelob, and Kong and brings their deepest fears to life and they attack the trio immediately throwing the monster squad off balance. She aides the Fear monsters by using her Gravity powers to grab/throw and immobilize Blue, Shelob, and Kong into the Fears attacks and setting them up so their Fears can deliver the final blow. Since she doesn't have to focus on the Fear monsters or give them orders she is her teams defense against NPCs and makes sure none get in the way of her team during the fight.
[B][U]Taken Out: Blue, Shelob, Kong[/U][/B]
