Superman fights off a droid invasion (MAWS vs Star Wars) (0-0-0)

[Pyro9278]

Superman (488.85 Megatons of TNT):

• Superman is in character.
• Season 1 Key and 7-A is used.
• Prior knowledge: He knows it's an army of droids, but he doesn't yet know who commands them. He knows they are fast and heavily armed.

Supreme Commander of CIS Droid Army (79.374 Megatons of TNT):

• General Grievous is in character.
• Grievous commands and has at his disposal a battalion of: 1000 units of B1 Battle Droid, 150 units of B2 Super Battle Droid and 4 units of IG-100 MagnaGuard.
• Prior knowledge: He has already researched the area he will invade and its defenses. He knows that someone strong will appear, but he doesn't know who it is, how strong they are, or when they will appear.

Palpatine arrives and destroys them both:

Objectives / victory conditions:

• Superman: He must defeat Grievous and prevent the Droid army from occupying Metropolis.
• Droid Army: They need to occupy Metropolis completely, contact the CSI, and receive reinforcements.

Everything happens in Metropolis. The Droid Army and Grievous start outside the city. Superman is on the other side. Equal Speed and SBA from the rest.

Hooo boy

Anyone aside from Grevious and the Magnaguards is useless ig. Clark can just pull an Omni-Man against the B1s and B2s

The Magnaguards outskill, but they get easily ripped apart. At the very least, they could serve as a neat backup for Grevious or distractions, thanks to their Immo type 2 letting them survive a little longer and their electrostaffs being able to stun Supes a bit.

From what I'm seeing, Grevious's lightsabers are a tad too much, and he also outskills. He should also technically deflect Clark's heat vision with his lightsabers (finally, this is useful in a thread lmao)

I feel Grevious would immediately play things smart once he sees Clark ripping his army to shreds and tag team him with his Magnaguards.

Speed is equalized right?

Anyways, Clark's AP and LS advantage means getting in close is very dangerous for Grevious, which is a tad inconvenient since anything other than melee combat is useless against him.

Are there civilians he needs to protect?

AP and LS are good, but Grevious's Lightsabers are hotter than what Clark can resist, meaning getting too close would be fatal for him. Given Grevious's much higher skill, I think Clark just loses the moment he engages in close combat. The Magnaguards can also offer support by stunning him with their staves

If Clark realizes how dangerous the lightsabers are, I would imagine he would try to stun Grevious and then try something. He has electricity powers, no?

He does not have that listed as an ability sadly

Seems Grevious can pull this off after losing all his droids.

 

[Jackof_noTrades068]

Following but leaning grievous for now cause of the skill edge and how since they’re kinda close in AP and Light saber heat is way above what Clark can handle (Lightsabers being like 28000c). Clark’s going to struggle at close range or lose limbs.
Freeze breath could help though if he wants to use flight and camp.

Doesn’t have that listed until S2.

But honestly think Clark could take this by just throwing stuff at Grievous.

Throwning debris won't be his starting strategy when he won't know about the heat and skill gap. Grevious would also just dodge or slice the debris with his sabers.

Idk, giant glowing laser swords aren’t particularly subtle. I imagine he’d start with laser eyes and if that gets deflected, my next step in his place would certainly be to start throwing stuff. It’s proven effective in the past (at least in Legends):

 

[Fallen_Angelicx]

What if supes just lasers visions and flicks the saber out his hands

 

[Doggo]

The fact that Grevious has 4 sabers at once, a bunch of extras, and regularly deflects blaster bolts with them

also skill diff

Is this Disney canon? Looks like a Legends comic from Dark Horse.

Even if it's canon, Mace is using Telekenesis, which is harder to predict than some dude with blue and red tights (which makes him easy to see) throwing several rocks with just his hands. Grevious was also clearly caught off guard here since Mace suddenly pulls a ship from the sky (again, another point to TK being more unpredictable than simply throwing stuff with your hands), unlike Mace, Clark can't throw stuff from multiple or unexpected directions; he has to throw the debris from where he is, which makes it easier to dodge or slice. As long as Grevious can clearly see him (again, easy thanks to his bright outfit), he won't need to worry about a car suddenly hitting him from above; he simply needs to look where Clark is and react, unlike with Mace, who could pull stuff from above or behind with just his mind.

Also, has this Supes dealt with lasers before? If so, I doubt he would feel threatened by the lightsabers.

It is from Obsession (which is Legends as I said) just using it to illustrate the point.

And whether by TK or by hand it doesn’t really change much once someone starts throwing buildings at you. Or even just cars since speed is equalized and he can throw stuff much faster than he can throw a punch.

Don’t think an exotic laser sword he has never seen before is something he would overconfidently try to walk into either.

His profile does not list his throwing speed as being higher than his regular combat speed, so Grevious should still be fast enough to react. Also, that breaks the speed equal rules if Clark wins because his thrown projectiles are faster than what Grevious could react to

Does this Superman really throw entire buildings? This is an alien invasion. and I doubt he would want to risk unnecessary casualties.

Can you really say he would spend most of the fight throwing debris just because he is a little concerned of the lightsabers, instead of eventually throwing hands?

Again has this Superman dealt with lasers before?

Does it have to? That is true for people in general.

He has lifted much heavier things than buildings before. And Grievous spinning lightsabers like a maniac isn’t exactly something anyone with a brain would be eager to dive into. If nothing else he can just use cars or trucks as clubs.

Again has this Superman dealt with lasers before?

He has, but his instinct is to avoid them even when he can tank them.

Sorry for the late reply

That isn't my point. Sure, he can throw buildings, but would he? This is an alien invasion, so most civilians have yet to escape. The chances of there being people inside the building or inthe are he is going to throw them at (metropolis buildings are quite huge) are high. I think its out of character for Clark to suddenly pull an Omni Man strategy

Cars and trucks work better; Grevious would easily cut through those

Does it have to? That is true for people in general.

That is gonna violate speed equal rules, sadly.

He has, but his instinct is to avoid them even when he can tank them.

Ok fair but can you prove he will spend most of the fight just zoning Grevious instead of eventually resorting to melee?
