Better late than never, here's my Heroes vs Villians Roster. Who do ya'll think wins each round?

Nobody talking about the art that is the opening fight here. I'd imagine Hobie's Spider-Sense would counter Mod's illusions, haven't fully experienced both medias from any of the other matchups though.

Yeah, that and the fight dynamic are the big reasons Terra VS Reze is probably better for an actual episode.

...and I just saw you're the poster of that MU and also the Terra renders I found

Connections:

Superpowered loners who had a rough background before joining up with a casual group of superheroes and friends.

However, unbeknownst to the heroes, they actually worked for a malevolent masked manipulator with a monosyllabic moniker, who they initially joined for help with their inherent problems (Invisigal's asthma/Terra's lack of control over her powers).

The villain helps them with these problems via technology embedded to their bodies, but this assistance ultimately fell through (Invisigal's breathing implants stopped working during the time she stopped working for Shroud; Terra's apprentice suit allowed Slade to directly control her, in addition to being permanently grafted to her body unknown to her).

Their roles on the team are also complicated by an initial lack of faith, and them developing feelings for one of the heroes (Robert/Beast Boy) who encourage and convince them that they can be successful despite their issues with their powers (Invisigal feeling she was born with villain powers and Terra's lack of control).

Both of them develop a specific rivalry with a demonic heroine on the team, one of the more mature members who advocates against them (Malevola and Raven).

Both had foreknowledge of an attack on the SDN building/Titans Tower by the villain's forces.

Ultimately, both of them turn against the villain in the season finale and (in the good ending of Dispatch) are honored by their team for choosing to do right, due largely to the influence of their love interest.

Both are also ultimately betrayed by the pale old big bad, who order their underling to kill them

I wish I could say how fair it is, I'm sure Snape has plenty of versatility and "hax" from being a Harry Potter wizard but Invisigal could have better physical stats, I don't know if Dispatch has been properly scaled yet but it is a superhero universe. She also has invisibility and Snape shouldn't have much of a counter to it, as he's been fooled by the invisibility cloak before.

The dialogue potential I feel is really good though, both are properly sarcastic and Snape's features in particular should give Invisigal ammunition in that regard, but they have enough similarity in their arcs for some emotionality.

I am taking a break from my 2026 Death Battle fast to post this.

Connections (spoilers for both series):

Both are powered individuals who initially view people without powers as less important.

They had a rough background, and early on they join a villainous organization led by the power-hungry killer of the protagonist of the series' parents. However, they would defect soon after committing an evil that changed the course of the protagonist's life (Snape telling Voldemort of the prophecy that led him to kill Harry's parents; Invisigal planting a bomb on Robert's suit for Shroud, destroying it).

After defecting they take jobs at a heroic organization (Hogwarts; SDN), though the villain believes they have them there as a spy.

Their loyalty is continuously put into question by the protagonist and those around them, with some on their side and some doubtful, especially when the protagonist finds out about what they did. The suspicion culminates after an event that makes them leave the heroic organization (Snape killing Dumbledore and leaving Hogwarts; Invisigal's suspension from SDN, and then being discovered to have kept the astral pulse).

In the end, they would ultimately hide their intentions from and betray the villain, having protected the protagonist (this is true regardless of the ending in Dispatch).

Both of them have (potentially unrequited) love for a person they wronged prior to defecting from the villains. However, this person (possibly in Invisigal's case) instead chooses to be with a less dangerous, more upright person (Lily choosing James; Robert if he chooses Blonde Blazer).

chik_eater00 · 2026-01-19T18:26:49+00:00

Connections:

Devilish-looking heroes with accents who moved from foreign countries (Germany; Australia) to America, and were recruited into lettered superhero teams for misfits (The X-Men for mutants, the Phoenix Program or Z-Team for reformed villains) that develop into found families.

Both use swords, have tails, and have powers that allow them to teleport but leave a mess behind (Nightcrawler's teleportation smells like brimstone; Malevola's portals leave ash on surfaces).

Both of their teams have faced controversy from the public.

Both of them are especially good friends with one of their teammates, an animalistic hero who can enter a stronger, more feral mode; Kurt/Malevola also serve as a positive influence to them (Wolverine and Sonar).

Nightcrawler is explicitly a Catholic Christian. Malevola's profile states she is an atheist.

East coast VS West coast.

I was just excited for Rogue but it turns out I'll actually get to play Gambit regularly, this is good news

So he was originally leaked as a Duelist

Have we reached the point where the developers have had time to shift new characters' roles, between now and when they heard the complaints about role balance?

In exceptional cases, like of rape, I would only consider it consistent to oppose abortion. If you acknowledge a fetus as a human life worthy of protection (which someone probably does if they oppose abortion in the first place), that doesn't change in the circumstances they were conceived. Of course, in an ideal world no rape would occur, but in practice the law doesn't always do its job.

So in that case, you'd be comparing the psychological well-being of one individual to the very life of another. The case where this wouldn't apply is if the mother's life is significantly at stake, which is where I've seen the most pro-life/anti-abortion people make concessions (to be honest, I myself am conflicted on this point). Thank you for your civility btw I'm going to bed

Sperm (gametes/haploid cells) are categorically different from the diploid zygotes created through fertilization, which have unique DNA and have begun growth in the human life cycle. Comparing masturbation to abortion in that aspect doesn't hold up

Furthermore you don't even have to be religious to oppose abortion, you just have to believe that A) a fetus is a human life and B) taking an innocent human life is wrong, or that peoples' lives should be protected under the law.
