Had an idea for a fun concept thread.
Escanor from Nanatsu no Taizai takes on the entire Avengers United Army from the MCU film Endgame.
Now, on paper, Escanor blitzes all of them and kills them all with impunity. I know that, so we have some gimmicks in this thread.
Premise
Battle takes place where the final battle in Endgame happened - the cratered remains of Avengers HQ. Escanor
starts on the opposite side of the main battlefield to the opposing army.
Around Escanor's neck on a chain, hangs a stone. It is an Infinity Stone. If it is removed it will be replaced by the next stone in the following sequence:
Soul
Space
Mind
Power
Time
Reality
The object of the thread is for the army to remove all of the stones or, if they can, kill Escanor.
Stipulations
- Escanor's speed is limited to that of MCU Captain America
- Escanor has his Divine Axe
- The time of day is 11:30 in the afternoon but Escanor will not become The One.
- Escanor is dimensionally tethered to his starting location and cannot move more than two metres from that position. He can be thrown, punched or moved by others by he cannot travel further than two metres under his own power.
- Due to his dimensional tether, no part of Escanor can be teleported or pushed through a portal.
- If his opponents decide to retreat or opt to wait out the clock, the length of Escanor's tether will increase at one metre per second until he enters combat once more whereupon it will contract to normal.
- Escanor cannot physically interact with the Infinity Stones or use their power. If a stone is removed from him, he can reclaim it on contact whereupon it will go back around his neck moving to the top of the stone sequence. Other characters can attempt to use the stones as they remove them from Escanor.
- The Avengers Team has been briefed on the scenario and Escanor's abilities. They have had a ten minute strategy session.
- Escanor doesn't know what's coming beyond "Earth's Mightiest Heroes,"
Can the team do it or does the Lord of Sunshine win the day?
