The Mutants of Ragnarok vs Hells Brigade

Fight' N Time!

Apocalypse:
He closes his eyes as he takes over Martian Cris(like he did to Xavier instantly) and they both mentally dominated Team Hells Brigade. With Apocalypse untouchable in his energy form and bubble sheild and Martian Cris evading with his precog they end this fight as quickly as it started as nobody else has mental protection besides 5. And while mind linked with Martian Cris he uses the Next precog to find and AOE disintegrates 5 to sea the deal.
Taken Out: Everyone

Scarlet Witch:
Using her magic sensing abilities and the Space Stones power she targets 5 and opens a portal to him and grabs him with her TK and Space Stone powers and crushes him or blasts him away with energy beams AOE style. She then targets Piper and crushes into a ball and then sends half of the ball to space over the east side of the planet and the best to the west side of the planet.
Taken Out: Number 5, Piper, rest if team

Legion:
He targets Jesse quick with his ability to out think Speedsters via his Thinker upgrade and also immune to Timestops he mind controls her to attack her team, while Legion moves on to attack all other enemies
Taken Out: Jesse, Piper, rest of team

Quicksilver
He targets Jesse/Superman/Wonder Woman while wishing for "All enemies to lose their 5 senses" and teleports them to Hell on first sight. If that doesn't go as planned he turns invisible and tele-blitzes them Nightcrawler style while cutting all with the First Blade and incinerating Medusas Head/The Barometer and Reality Warping the Ant Man/Black Panther Suits into potato sacks. He then does the same teleport to hell or First Blade stabbing to any enemy still around.
Taken Out: Superman. Jesse, Wonder Woman, rest of team

Sebastian Shaw:
He targets Superman as his Suit is made to fight Kryptonians before the massive amping by the Motherbox and Power Stone and he finds him with his sensors/radar and zooms at him. He first Power Stone blasts the Medusa Head, and Ant Man suit to dust with a blast that knocks Superman back through the air leaving him with his base abilities. Then he uses his Kryptonite infused and Motherbox made energy weapons to blast him with pure Kryptonite Radiation severely weakening him, then with all the energy he has been absorbing up to this point Shaw looks down at the barely moving hero and unleashes a massive charged punch with added power Stone energy and obliterates Superman and everything around them for 100meters. He then zips around and dies the same to anyone left.
Taken Out: Superman, rest of team

Mirage:
She helps fight Piper by sheioding herself and countering any Sand manipulation and keeping her contained by crushing her into a ball of Sand and if she can then she crushes her so hard that Piper turns into something that isn't Sand anymore loses control of her body while her darkest fears come to life and torment her until she goes crazy. She also targets Wonder Woman and 5 using her Gravity sensing powers to find 5 and crushes them both or snaps their necks to take them out.
Taken Out: Piper, rest of team

So outside Wakanda with the shield in between?

Interesting.

Well, Darth has more firepower, and with David there he’s a tough nut to crack, so let’s see what happens if I do something…..bizarre.


Piper raises a massive sand storm and sends it scouring towards the enemy team (obscuring my team from view). She will also raise a sand storm under the ground of the enemy team as well, triggering the other plagues of Egypt too on them as best she can (boils, raining fiery death down on them). Her main goal is to act as distraction and concealment.

Diana get grown to fifty feet by Clark’s growth disc (which he throws at speed). Growing to fifty feet from which she will leap/fly above the enemy team. Tying her lasso around the Crystal sword as she does, she will use it like a rope dart and impale any of the opposing team, pulling it back and doing it again (stealing their souls/powers) each time the sword impales them.

Clark throws the growth disc at Diana and goes straight up (growing as he does so). Once fully grown, the mental link established by Martian Cris (who can predict where the enemy is) will allow him to pinpoint Heat Vision (giant Heat Vision) the opposing team like a Kryptonian Sniper. Clark’s job is to slag the enemy with his massive (and empowered) Heat vision.

Martian Cris establishes a pre-cog mental link with Clark, letting him know exactly where the enemy will be/how they attack, letting Clark snipe them. Otherwise, he will defend my team mentally and go intangible to avoid attacks as needs be.

Five teleports inside any shields Darth’s team has established (be given Jesse’s barometer first by Jesse at speed). Once inside he will activate the barometer and use the time stop and his complete unfinadability to use his Eye and disintegrate any flesh and person he can (multiple targets easily available). David and Apoc and Wanda being obvious first targets. Obviously, Angel blading and setting up Medusa’s Head to flash them right in their faces as the time stop ends will happen).

Five will use the barometer as much as he needs to to set-up and attack.

Jesse once she gives the barometer to Five runs around and helps defend Martian Cris and Piper fro from enemy attack. Otherwise, her job is rescue aid as best as she can.


My team will aid each other as needs be, will fly/move around/avoid attacks as they can (aided by super pre-cog), and will fight to the best if their abilities. All NPC’s will be avoided as they can be.

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

Heh, well, that’s an interesting strategy.

Too bad it won’t work on Martian Cris.

The problem with attempting this is three-fold:

-The Mind Stone has not been shown to amp mental powers in psychics. It has done four things: helped Loki used touch based mind control, helped unlock and twist Wanda’s magic, somehow gave Peitro his powers, and gave Vision energy beams.

At no point, in canon, has it amped mental powers.

-Apocalypse has no feats for entering, or conquering, alien minds. And in fact, no Movie X-Men does (Apoc, Jean, Xavier, and Emma never do). Of course, only two ever encounter an alien (in Dark Phoenix), but regardless they never get taken over.

Odd that.

-As I recall, it was when Xavier was using Cerebro and actually made contact himself when Apoc fought him the first time. Otherwise, the two were in close proximity and Xavier was the instigator the second time IIRC. At what point can Apoc reach out over miles and engage MC?

——————

Scarlet Witch can’t track Five. Very specifically the Runic Tattoos stopped Very Powerful magic users (the Wolf, the Ram, and the Heart) from locating Lindsay. Nor could their entire company locate him. He only showed up to mortal eyes. Even tech means could not find him. So that’s a wasted move.

—————

Legion wastes his time too. Jesse is the only member here who’s contribution matters at the beginning. After that, she’s on the ground and all the rest of my people are intangible or flying around.

—————

QS can’t wish at super speed. So his wish needs to be done at normal speed (that whole speed of sound thing). That makes him vulnerable to getting blasted/attacked/sand blasted/etc……

Also, all those he targets are in the air and are very quick (also obscured).

Seems to me that it’s just as likely, if not more so, that Five warps in/stops time and disintegrates him with his Eye.

————-

I’m not sure what Mirage is doing to stop Piper. Piper never moves closer (so Mirage can’t reach her) and gravity doesn’t stop wind blowing sand around (unless she’s compressing everything around her). And if she’s crushing gravity that much, that’s going to effect her teammates possibly.

—————

Sebastian is slower than Clark, has to locate him, than fly up and engage. He targets the Medusa Head (which Clark doesn’t even have).

All before Clark goes up and starts Heat Vision sniping with beams the size of a truck. Good luck getting to him as he dodges around, especially as he is well aware of how powerful a Motherbox can be.

If Shaw’s suit survives such a thing, he won’t survive Five Eyeing him.

[Darth Drizzle]

Another good stratagy against the mutants here with some outside the box moves. But the Mutants will still come out on top.

Apocalypse:
Going by his stratagy moves and the opponents stratagy moves it works out perfectly for Apocalypse. As I have shown multiple times in multiple matches a base Apocalypse with no upgrades instantly takes over Xavier while he's using Cerebro amping him to World Reaching levels and makes him do whatever he wants(which was controlling every person controlling Nuclear Missles and making them fire all of them). Needless to say Martian Manhunter isn't even close to base Xavier so as planned he instantly gets taken over by Apocalypse and their combined moves win it for the Mutants.

Also I have shown and explained multiple times with feats that the Mind Stone does have immense psionic power(Loki with Astral body instantly crossing the Universe) and enhances powers(Scarlet Witch having Thanos crushing TK and Mind controlling Hundreds of people in a City).

Scarlet Witch/Legion:
Legion with his Thinker level mental speed stops Jesse as she tries to give her Barometer to 5 as the Thinker specifically out matches Flash Speedsters and has done so multiple times, and at base Legions telepathy has reached people in other cities so range isn't a issue and combined it means that Jesse is taken over before she finds 5 and tries to give him her Barometer.

Speaking of 5 Wanda takes him out with her Space Stone abilities able to open a portal right to him and then her own Magic powers take him out for good as they are far above anything that 5 can handle(he ain't no Thanos). And Piper if she isn't handled already gets balled up and spread out across the planet through space.

Quicksilver
As nothing stops him from wishing all the Enemies 5 senses to be gone that happens and seals the deal for my team again. Plus Quicksilver BFR'ing the heavy hitters on sight with a move that has been done dozens of times in the show casually doubles down of the enemy being taken out by the Mutants. And going by the enemy stratagy even if it was Quicksilver by himself nothing written stops him from doing his moves or even takes him out permanently so that is another game ending move by single mutant against the entire enemy team.

Sebastian Shaw/Mirage:
Sebastian takes care of Superman as written and if Diana does grow huge than she easily gets blasted away by him as well(as all Giants/Kaiju get dealt with by the Power Stone user every match). Mirage as written counters any Sand Storms with her Gravity powers and unleashes her fears on everyone who gets withen 1 mile of her.

Final Conclusions:
Apocalypse takes over Martian Cris with his first superspeed thought based action and as shown feats prove he can instantly do so. That is pretty straight forward and inarguable as facts back it up. So he and Martian Cris take out all enemies ending with Martian Cris himself being taken out.

Legion stops Jesse and has her attack her team then he himself mentally and physically takes out all enemies. Legion has Thinker level mental speed which has shown to catch and even outspeed Flash Speedsters specifically and at base levels his Mental reach is much greater than 3 miles. So he has the speed/range/power to take her over by proven feats and he does so here. Again pretty straightforward and inarguable as feats back it up.

Wanda takes out 5 finding him with the Space Stones Universal level of power and abilities, Quicksilver BFRs everyone he sees with nothing to stop him and his wishes cripple the enemy to the point of uselessness, Shaw makes sure Superman/Diana are taken out, and Mirage counters Piper as written and seals the deal for a mutant victory.
