Red Lantern Corps: Dark Phoenix

 

What if…….Atrocitus was able to recruit the Dark Phoenix to his Red Lantern Corps?! The Phoenix Force is an entity described as the child of the universe, free-spirited and dangerous if not properly controlled or guided on the right path. With this power, Atrocitus believes could be on the same power levels as the White and Black Lantern Corps…Using his immense power, Atrocitus created a dimensional portal and entered the Marvel Universe right after Dark Phoenix consumed a star. The destruction fascinated Atrocitus, leaving the feeling that such power could empower his Lantern Corps greatly. Atrocitus intercepted the Dark Phoenix in space flight before the nearby Shi’ar flagship who also witnessed the destruction could retaliate. Using his power ring, Atrocitus opens a gateway to the Red Power Battery on Ysmault. He signals the release of The Butcher from the central battery. The Butcher comes through the portal confronting the Phoenix Force. The two entities clash in a cosmic spectacle, learning and adapting to one another.

As the two entities dance in a cosmic showcase, Dark Phoenix hovers in space, waiting for the Phoenix Force to return to her. Atrocitus used this time to slip the Red Power Ring onto Jean’s finger, sealing the bond between the two entities. Red electric fire erupted outward in all directions as the transformation to the Red Lantern Corps began. During this time, The Phoenix Force began to fuse with The Butcher entity as well. Atrocitus believed if he couldn’t get direct control over the Phoenix Force, he could at least have control over its host.

As the Phoenix Force was being molded with The Butcher, it had a sense of bondage and lashed wildly like a caged animal. Anger and rage began to grow rapidly within the Phoenix Force as it struggled. Once the merger was complete, the energy given off was so tremendous, its power funneled down to each power ring of the Red Lantern Corps. Members of the Red Lantern Corps no longer had the weakness of blind rage, now that it was consumed by the Phoenix Force. In exchange, each member developed mental clarity strong enough to create the most powerful constructs among all the other Lantern Corps. The Phoenix Force grants members immortality and as long as the Phoenix Force remains confined in the Red Power Battery, the power rings stay charged indefinitely.

When realizing that rage is just one of many emotions of the Spectrum, The Phoenix Force gained a curiosity for the other Lantern Corps and secretly vowed to conquer them all. With the power of two cosmic entities and the Sith Lords, can the Red Lantern Corps be stopped in their quest for universal and dimensional conquest?

 

Superman Vs The Hulk

 

Superman vs The Hulk is among one of the most popular comic crossover battles of all time. It’s common to find that this fight is based on favoritism instead of the physical facts, facts which determines the winner. Primarily, both character could be evenly matched when it comes to strength, durability and longevity to a certain degree. Both characters have evolved in power since their origins, but who is really the strongest?

Superman has greater speed than The Hulk, along with his additional powers of flight, heat vision and super breath. These powers are manifested by Superman’s cells absorbing yellow sunlight. If Superman were to take this battle into the air or space, the battle would be in favor to Superman. The Hulk’s momentum can only produce results if he is grounded. Superman is vulnerable to kryptonite and magic but in this fight, neither would be available at The Hulk’s disposal.

The Hulk’s strength is produced through his uncontrollable rage, which is due to Bruce Banner exposure to gamma radiation. The more he gets angry the stronger he becomes. Despite not being able to fly, have x-ray or heat vision, the Hulk’s adaptable durability allows him to withstand the abilities that Superman may use against him. Superman’s super speed and strength combined would throw Hulk in a blind rage, for fighting a strong and quicker opponent would frustrate and anger him. The Hulk is most vulnerable when he is in the state of Bruce Banner, where Superman and Clark Kent are one in the same….

Over the years, both characters have evolved to different levels of power which respectfully makes both characters the top of their class in the Marvel and DC Universe. When heroes battle each other, it’s a test of strength and honor not winner or loser in most cases. Since this crossover battle is so popular among comic fans, how come Marvel and DC haven’t created a film adaptation of the comic? Until that time and thanks to Michael Habjan, comic fans can get an excellent perspective of how such a battle could happen….

Superman Vs. Batman

Superman vs Batman has always been a hot topic among comic fans for a long time. Because of their popularity, both characters are involved with many crossover battles against foes with similar abilities. Since Batman and Superman are both heroes, a continual battle between the two characters could not exist. Seemingly enough, the only reason for confrontation between Batman and Superman is for dominate leadership over what it means to be a hero.

Many fans favor Batman because of his dedication to his crime fighting career. Bruce’s determination on becoming the greatest crime fighter he can be, pushed him beyond his physical limits. Wayne’s technology and resources also gives Batman an advantage over Superman / Clark Kent. Batman’s mastery of fear allows him to take on opponents more powerful than himself even if it means certain death. Superman has even considered Batman to be the world’s most dangerous man…Superman is also a favorite among comic fans because he is one of the most powerful characters in DC Comics history. His superpowers allow him to take on most opponents with little effort. Flight, super speed, invulnerability, longevity, prominent abilities anyone would love to have. Even though Superman is an alien from another world, his values and morals are that of a good human on Earth. Such great values and morals motivate Superman to use his powers for the good of the people. His normal persona as Clark Kent allows him to live a life as a reporter, keeping him grounded to world issues, thus helping him become a better world hero.Batman and Superman have many publications where they would battle. Finally, the two characters are featured in the same, live action film: Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. This is Zack Synder‘s take on the battle between the two icons. Who do you think would ultimately win between Superman and Batman?
