DEATH BATTLE! Discussion Thread (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

Omniman vs Homelander was a good example and made it get a huge success, but not all one sided fights do this, flash vs quicksilver is forgettable i guess
 
Thats enough. Remember Megatron vs Frieza - Alien Conquerors who hate the hero (which isn't technically true for Megatron anymore)
I mean sure but there's alot of Superman expies out there, I feel like a more thematic matchup cool be made fairly easily. Hell even Doctor Manhatten who is an expy of Captain Atom would probably make more sense.
 
I don't really see the connection outside of like both are superman expies with reality warping.
There's also the result of an experiment and "evil side" connection with Void and Monarch I think. But I'm overall not too enthused by a matchup with 2 high tier reality warpers, especially if other matchups, namely for Sentry, provide a contrast

Captain Atom isn't a Superman expy. But for connections. Just gonna copy paste what I stated weeks ago.

Theme is basically extremely powerful heroes who were given powers through experimental accidents, and began acting as big new star heroes of their verses, but end up suffering from god complexes, mental health issues and deeper, darker self destructive powers and alternate personas.

Both are absolutely bonkers. That's the main thing. Sentry has his split personality mental disorder. Superboy Prime is an emotionally insecure immature manchild with a victim persecution complex.
 
I meant Captian Atom who is usually mostly fine, he just like works for the government.
That's pretty ooc especially for his 90s stories, where he spends a majority of the time trying to escape the shackles of the US government. The only reason he really works for them is because of manipulation and blackmail.

It was unfortunately the 2000s where they had no idea what to do with CA and just straight up regressed his character. And this even more unfortunately became his big defining trait going forward.

But Captain Atom nonetheless still has own fair of issues, from PTSD, to identity crisis, God complexes and even depression. As well as dealing with the fact that he is literally a man out of time and the world he knows is long gone.

What's funny about this is that in contrast to Sentry being like, proper dead, Captain Atom has technically 3 versions of him running around throughout the time stream but no one remembers because DC couldn't give less of a **** about this guy.
 
Thunderbolts sadly ended up losing money, but Sentry did leave a positive impact that probably saved the movie from downright flopping. I hope it does inspire Marvel to revive him. Sentry vs Captain Atom or Superboy Prime ain't happening for a loooong time, so maybe we can get time for Sentry to get some new stuff.

Though at the same time, the guy who usually makes Marvel Characters stupidly overpowered is Cates, the same one who decided to axe Sentry.

Why not try the writer for the current Storm comic? She's stupidly OP in that one.
 

Marvel needs to let their speedster do cool shit at some point
 
Crona's arguments are a lot stronger imo

Instructions unclear buffing Thor and Hulk and nerfing Thanos again

The next avengers movie teased him to return didnt it? He may get more time to shine and ne known cuz of MCU, but i dunno how popular Captain Atom or Superboy Prime are in general, Sentry my have to carry it by himself

I mean he made Knull get payback for Carnage, as well as taste his own medicine, although apparently he said he didnt knew much of him eiher when used

Apparently Cates didn't even know that Sentry was still merged at the time. Though if I'm being honest, I don't think Merged Sentry would've performed much better against Knull.

They didnt give Tom crazy speeds and lives problem seems issue even with his backups.

It might actually depend on whether you believe that Wile can fail vs anyone and how much does it matter that Roadrunner > Jerry.
