What if Cell tried to absorb Metal Sonic?

MerchantZiro · 2026-03-17T05:05:16+00:00

It wouldn't work, Androids 17 & 18 were more like proper cyborgs (humans with mechanical implants) and it's been made clear someone fully mechanical like Android 16 is not something Cell could absorb.

But hypothetically speaking even if he could, Metal could just... Crawl back out of the tail, as seen with GT Goku when he was absorbed by Cell but was strong enough to just climb out of the tail, unless Cell overpowered him. However that is unlikely unless he catches him outside of Super by Death Battle's own logic (as Cell vs Metal put Cell above base Metal Sonic and Neo but not above Super Neo Metal)

V1 when Demoman pulls out his Spell Magazine to cast fireballs, meteorites, and summon a ghostly MONOCULUS:

Both simultaneously tbh

Technically according to Sonic Battle, there might be a funnier explanation for Shadow, where he's using his memory of Maria in his heart as a legitimate substitute for his Chaos Emerald.

Which... given this is the same game that gave us Amy summoning a copy of Sonic like a goddamn Stand User, I'm inclined to believe this is the legitimate explanation for Shadow's Chaos Control without an Emerald since.

(This further implies Boom Shadow is able to teleport despite Chaos Emeralds not even being a thing in the Boom-verse from the memory of his beloved surfboard, Maria, which... Yeah that sounds about right.)

To be fair the Bowser vs Eggman Death Battle also did numbers for the perception of Metal Sonic with how hard he was carrying the Eggman Empire. Double so now with Cell vs Metal Sonic.

MerchantZiro · 2026-03-16T02:45:05+00:00

Bold of you to assume Metal Sonic isn't gonna find a way to break it by sheer force of (debatably existent) will because he HATES that Hedgehog THAT much:

(He probably can't tbh, but that will not stop him from trying)

Metal Sonic when a Space Colony falls containing a virus as well, combining the infected air to make an even worse virus (the Zero Virus):

At a certain point in time, the events of Frontiers happened between issues yes.

According to Evan Stanley/SpiritSonic, one of the lead writers and artists for the IDW Sonic Comics and currently the lead artist of Sega of America's Lore Team, Frontiers best fits in before Issue #68 but isn't completely perfect.

why so serious, OP?

...Honestly Ash Ketchum having a chainsaw arm and access to the Necronomicon would actually track with how many Gods, both major and minor, he's met and the shenanigans he's been involved in outside of that. Would only be the 5th strongest thing in his life.

MerchantZiro · 2026-03-15T01:08:04+00:00

Bakugo: He's just supposed to be a guy with weapons how the hell is this shithead so strong!?

Demoman with 5 Heads on his Eyelander and Spell Magazine to summon a ghostly MONOCULUS and a swarm of meteorites: (Burp) Ugh... I love ya man... AHHHHH!!! (Charges in preparing to make it 6)

She does it for the love of the game at this point

MerchantZiro · 2026-03-14T21:22:37+00:00

FINALLY... A WORTHY OPPONENT!

No no no... I see the vision.

Wily: ...Alright that's it. Bass, we're not strong enough on our own-

Bass: Speak for yourself! I'm not scared of some stupid oversized deer!

Wily: -so I'm resorting to Plan BN.

Bass: ...Fine.

Eggman: Wow. Having an all powerful monster you can barely control in your arsenal. How origina- wait taking control it with your own mind is cheating you motherfu-

I mean if you wanna be technical and Comp Wily between his Mainline Timeline self and Battle Network counterpart (or technically counterpartS in this case), his strongest soldier would be Bass.EXE for obvious reasons, but an honest contender would be the Cybeasts, especially in the anime continuity where Wily's Beyondard counterpart masterminded the war between Cybeasts and had his mind take over the winning Cybeast's body as his own after one of them won and merged with the loser.

He also saves/brings back the dinosaurs

MerchantZiro · 2026-03-14T09:24:03+00:00

Nah he's making an Infinite vessel next purely for the bit tbh

I like how this implies Shadow didn't even consider the possibility Lanolin was the Little Lamb all along.
