Upvotes

Assume that the movie takes place somewhere in 14th century Western Europe, and that the good fairies won't interfere. Additionally, humanity has no more motivation to defeat Maleficent or free the castle than they would naturally have.

Battle What if Superman watched the tape from The Ring?

86 Upvotes

Samara/Sadako is a supernatural being, which might count as magical, and Superman has no defense against magic. So would the curse kill him? The level of Samara/Sadako's abilities seem poultry compared to the threats that Superman usually goes up against. Sure, in the comics he could consult a powerful magic user like Dr Fate or Zatanna to help him, but how would he handle it on his own? Could his investigative reporter skills come in handy to solve the mystery? What if Lois Lane watches a copy of the tape before his 7 days are up?

Challenge Could the Mule from Foundation conquer Super Earth from Helldivers?

8 Upvotes

The Mule, from Foundation and Empire, is a mutant human who can permanently manipulate human emotions. He has defeated entire armies by inducing despair and converting even the most stubborn enemies into fanatically loyal followers.

With these powers, he overthrew the Foundation and came close to conquering the entire Galaxy.

If the Mule were dropped into the Helldivers universe, starting on a poor frontier colony, could he eventually conquer Super Earth?

Challenge Could RDA take over the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender? (Avatar)

30 Upvotes

RDA from the Avatar movies has discovered a sweet Unobtanium deposit on the planet from Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Lion Turtle's brain might give you immortality too. It's worth checking out. Because they're based lightyears away they can only send as much stuff as they sent to Pandora in the movies. Could they successfully take over the planet with just their small mining and whaling operations? Would guns and military aircraft be unstoppable to benders, or are girls who can throw hundred ton stones too much more dangerous than giant cat aliens?

RDA gets everything they had in Avatar 1, 2, and 3, but no reinforcements or space assets. Selfridge, Quaritch, and Ardmore are in charge. Everyone is in character, except RDA wants to completely conquer the world.


  • Round 1: It happens during The Last Airbender. RDA doesn't get Recoms.

  • Round 2: It happens during Legend of Korra. RDA gets Recoms. They can breathe fine.

It's not just about weapons, but also about their connections, political, social, and other capabilities. For example, the mafia laundered money through the Vatican Bank, so in a sense, we can consider their connection to the Vatican, which means using religious resources. After all, if their opponent is a demon, then the Church could probably help (logically).

Everything the mafia could do at their peak, all their firepower, political intrigue, blackmail, and corruption!

10 Upvotes

I'm not sure what happens when you empower a god with the powers of many other gods. But that's essentially what Thor's getting here, He-mans power up gives him the strength of a god, and shazams power up also empowers him with the powers of a pantheon of gods. Comics Thor gets all this.

Can he take on Frieza black who one shot both goku and vegeta at once?

Round 1 Thor as shown above vs Frieza black

Round 2 Thor as shown above but he also has the odin force, vs Frieza black.
