Spawn vs Ghost Rider

Spawn and Ghost Rider is among many popular crossover topics within the comic community, mainly because of their similarities. Both characters wield supernatural powers originating from Hell through a pact with the Devil(Mephisto/ Malebolgia). Later through trial and error of their ways, both characters broke free from their hellish influence and used Hell’s power to free their own souls. They have major differences that determine the outcome of such a battle. Let’s dig in…

Al Simmons was recruited to become the general of Hell’s Army. As general, his power would come second to his master Malebolgia. Spawn’s supernatural powers stem from his symbiotic armor. The armor is a living organism which is infused in Al Simmons’s nervous system, allowing him to control the symbiotic armor with his thoughts, conscious or unconscious. The armor is filled with necroplasm, which has a functioning concept like Green Power Ring. The armor responds and morphs to the will and imagination of Al Simmons. On Earth, Spawn’s magical powers are in limited supply, so his symbiotic armor feeds off evil or dark energy. The bigger the source, the more power it can consume and use without depleting its own power reserves. Battling Ghost Rider would be perfect for Spawn because Ghost Rider’s powers and abilities are supernatural and evil in origin. This battle would keep Spawn fully powered enough to use his magical abilities at maximum potential.

Johnny Blaze was destined to become agent of evil as the Ghost Rider. The Rider’s existence becomes possible from the union between Johnny Blaze and Zarathos. Zarathos is a demonic being in servitude to Mephisto as Violator is with Malebogia. This union is also similar to the Phoenix Force bonding with Jean Grey thus creating Phoenix and Dark Phoenix. Johnny Blaze can revert back and forth as the Ghost Rider at will, instead of only in the presence of evil. With demonic power at his disposal, Ghost Rider can control the mystical fire of Hell, which he channels through weapons or vehicles, making them supernaturally more powerful than before. Seemingly with no limit to his power, Ghost Rider is considered one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe.

Ultimately this battle comes down to the men who are hosts to the power, Al Simmons vs Johnny Blaze. Al Simmons’s training made him an excellent military assassin. Johnny Blaze is a stunt performer, where his mental focus is on surviving death-defying feats than any physical combat training. Spawn has evolved to his higher form, Omega Spawn. This results in unlimited power on both the mortal and immortal planes, making himself third in power next to the power of Heaven and Hell. Ghost Rider is considered one of most powerful in his universe, but his god like potential is not fully realize because of the combat mentality of his mortal host. Would Ghost Rider stand a better chance against Omega Spawn if he fuses with the Venom symbiote and the Red Hulk, or will he fall just as hard under the might of Omega Spawn??

Enterprise Space Armors

What if… Tony Stark‘s technology crossed into the Star Trek Universe?! The advanced technology of Star Trek would be wonders for Tony Stark. He could develop his armors even further equipping them with stellar navigation or even combine Star Fleet’s warp core technology with his arc reactor tech. With this, the Stark armor could survive deep space and even achieve warp speeds. This would allow Iron Man to travel alongside the likes of Silver Surfer or Green Lantern with ease.Tony Stark could supply the Federation with the blueprint plans for advanced armored suits. The Federation could use Tony’s armors for planetary exploration or a non-detectable advantage over enemies in war. Would you agree that if such armored suits were created for the Federation, the space jump in the 2009– and 2013-Star Trek films be much cooler? Let’s imagine…

Not only could Tony Stark use the Star Fleet’s technology for his armored suits, but he could also enhance S.H.I.E.L.D. For example, The Helicarrier  could be equipped much like the USS Enterprise. The Helicarrier could run on anti-matter propulsion engines, equipped with transporters on board, deflector shields and advanced weaponry. Both universes could benefit each other greatly with Tony Stark’s brilliance. Could you imagine such technology crossed over between the two universes, how they can go hand in hand with one another?

 

Daredevil vs Batman

Daredevil vs Batman is among the popular crossover topics discussed by comic fans. This popularity influenced the creation of the intercompany crossover comics: Eye For An Eye and King of New York. Bruce and Matt are the sons of murdered parents. They trained in their upbringings to become avengers to the innocent. Both heroes created themselves in a frightful image to strike fear in the criminal underworld. They have many similarities and differences which makes a crossover battle interesting. Maybe one day, we will see this crossover in live animation like Batman V Superman….

Marvel Comics Hell’s Kitchen is no difference than the Hell’s Kitchen of our world. This section of New York includes low-income housing, violence and gangs. It is a living nightmare or hell as some may see it, so choosing the symbol of a devil seems fitting for Matt Murdock. One major difference between Daredevil and Batman is that Daredevil has intentions on killing his enemies like Bullseye. Daredevil may not directly kill someone, but he won’t save them from death either. This categorized Daredevil as an anti-hero.

Gotham City is a fictional city in the DC Universe. Gotham City is filled with much corruption, ranging from politicians down to the local street gangs. This city has tall gothic architectural style buildings and statues. With this environment Batman strikes the likeness of Dracula. Batman refrains from killing criminals even though his methods of intimidation make a person feel as if death were close. Many have died indirectly through different situations involving Batman but never intended to be killed beforehand. In the end, most criminal are handed over to Gotham Police Department or sent to Arkham Asylum. 

Having superpowers gives Daredevil an edge on Batman. His radar sense gives him excellent equilibrium with his martial arts. With his radar sense, Daredevil could lock onto his opponents with his senses before even reaching them. Hiding from Daredevil is nearly impossible. Daredevil’s super reflexes allow him to avoid most projectile attacks, especially that of a speeding bullet or a flying batarang. His sonar abilities are also his weakness. Extreme noise at high frequency could overwhelm Daredevil, like it would Venom. 

Since Batman has no superpowers, he must use his tactical weapons as an extension of himself. Batman’s utility belt is his armory and archive, meaning the utility belt contain gadgets made ready for normal civilians to superhumans he has encountered in the past. With this arsenal, Batman has won most of his battles and survived a lot of near-death experiences. In the case of Daredevil, it wouldn’t take Batman much time to figure out Daredevil’s abilities and the weaknesses. The weakness is what the Dark Knight will focus on, one blast from Batman’s sonic devastator Daredevil would be immobilized.

Even though this is a fantasy battle between the two characters, heroes will always benefit from each other instead of fighting. What if Batman enhanced Daredevil’s costume to make it similar to his own? For instance, Batman could re-create Daredevil’s mask to the point where it could dampen harmful incoming sound, eliminating his weaknesses of overwhelming sound waves. Batman could also create a utility belt for Daredevil. Its main function is a sonic receiver and transmitter. This high-powered utility belt could work in unison with the mask. It could boost Daredevil’s radar sense to the point where the entire city of New York can be viewed from one location, much like Superman scanning over Earth with his super hearing or Morbius using echolocation. The exterior of the costume could be made in a special Nomex M5 material which would stand against intense heat while the inside becomes cooler, preventing Matt from burning or overheating while standing in flames.
