So I had this MU idea, thought it was really good. Overlord (IDW) vs Conquest (Invincible).
Theme name: Destruction Incarnate
Scenario: Both clash over a destroyed planet, with the both of them seeking to claim it for their respectives empire, inevitably leading to the both of them fighting each other.
Connections:
- Both feature similar names in regards to conquering
- Both are among the strongest beings of their verse, and have lived for thousands of years, serving a space empire as a being of mass destruction, with the purpose to destroy worlds for their empire
- Both are noted to be extremely powerful, even among their own ranks.
- Both feature similar motivations, in that their love of chaos and killing is their only true motivation.
- Both are fairly important antagonists and are shown to be a nigh unstoppable force during their respective story arcs, overpowering the hero on numerous occasion.
- Their actions against the hero would affect the hero for years to come (Conquest's appearance on Earth made Invincible even more brutal and pragmatic, Overlord's action would cause the near death of Springer, traumatising him and placing him in a coma)
- In their first defeat, both were mutilated beyond recognition (Conquest had his chest skin blasted off, and his face smashed. Overlord was detonated from the inside out and was reduced to a massive skeleton)
- Both would return again after their initial defeat due to a pragmatic individual repairing them and seeking to use them to protect their planet (Cecil captured Conquest in order to study him in order to strengthen Earth's defenses, Prowl repaired Overlord as motivation to get Overlord to cooperate in interrogation, and to find out how to make Phase Sixers for the Autobots)
- Both are ultimately killed through somewhat non conventional means, as the heroes couldn't overpower them directly (Conquest was choked to death by Invincible, because Invincible couldn't defeat him in any other way. Both of Overlord's units are sent to the past and future, thus severing his mind)
- Both have highly opposite relationships to their commander (Conquest completely fears Thragg, to the point of cowering before him. Overlord seeks to gain a rematch against Megatron, to make up for all the losses he suffered at the hands of Megatron many times prior)
I think the animation potential is pretty good and can allow for some really cool looking environmental destruction given the way both of them fight. I feel 3D suits this best, but I don't either have any good 3D models. Other than some fan made ones.
