    Default Isca the Unbeaten vs. Darwin in a Death Match....?

    ...who wins? This is not a battle board question per se, just trying to understand how their powers work.

    Two simple rules:

    1. A "win" is defined as the physical and/or spiritual death/eradication of one of the combatants.

    2. The battlefield is a closed, inescapable environment the size of a normal boxing ring.

    Darwin losses because no matter what he turns into he can't beat Isca. We saw that when faced with something he can't beat his powers make him run away like vs WW Hulk

    I see it this way If Darwin can transform into something capable of beating Isca, Then Isca power helps her to understand that and she avoids the situation. Isca power is to win until their possibility that she loses and those situations come up she either switch sides(a win for her) or stalemates. Hence never actual losing.

    The answer to your question is nobody would "win" both of them are designed to stalemate.

    Mid way through the fight a villain would attack and open the battle arena and cause them both to team up.

    What if a stalemate comes down to Darwin and Isca simply having sex instead?

    Except, a stalemate isn't an option, under the criteria of the match. The rules lay that out for her clearly. This isn't a case where Isca determines what it means to "win", consciously or otherwise. If anything her powers will work against her to ensure the result of eliminating Darwin somehow.

    Exactly my thought. His power allows Isca to kill him, she wins, and his body turns to dust and blows away, only to reassemble and revive elsewhere, his power having filled it's mandate of allowing him to adapt to survive (and her power having achieved it's goal of allowing her to win).

    Please explain. Do you mean by extended thanatosis ("playing dead"), which is a behavior that a number of creatures use to avoid predation? Or is Darwin capable of biopoiesis, basically springing to life from nonliving matter?

    Isca vs Synch?!

    -Pav, who thinks that's the real question...
    You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
    You know what it means when he comes back
    .

    I imagine Isca simply turns into a non-powered form and then kills Synch with her sword easily, since there's no power for Ev to replicate. Even if he copied her swordsmanship and fighting prowess, Synch doesn't have a weapon. It would be a different ending maybe if Synch was able to recall any power and attribute that he's ever copied previously. But then again, maybe not.

    Boring answer is Darwin transform into a forms where he loses but can still live

    Nah.

    Some sorta lone being they wind up being fused into so that there can only be the winner is probably a more likely possibility.
