Well, I'll write all of Papyrus' powers and abilities.

In terms of magic, Papyrus wields a strong mastery over bone magic, which he can use in a variety of ways. Bone Barrier gives him a temporary shield that can deflect any projectile twice and was strong enough to no-sell Sans' Gaster Blasters (Inverted Fate Sans has an ATK posesses 29 ATK). Bone Barrage fills the arena with small, moving bones that delete projectiles they contact and he should have similar Danmaku to his canon counterpart. Blue Attacks will only hurt his opponent if they attempt to move through them as opposed to allowing it to pass harmlessly through, which he usually uses to keep someone stationary. Blue Mode lets him turn his opponent's soul blue, giving it "gravity" and allowing him to more easily hit his foes. Gaster Blasters are Papyrus' strongest attacks, animal-like skulls that fire powerful lasers from their maws which are "ARE METAPHORICALLY COOL AND LITERALLY QUITE HOT" to the point that a single blaster could reduce a bed into ash

Concocterest has variety of random effects. These range from status buffs and debuffs (To speed, attack and defense, INV frames) to changing enemy attack colors (Turning them Blue harmless to those who stand still, turning them Orange makes them harmless to those who move, and turning them Green makes them heal whoever they hit), grant the user regen, cast poison, buff or decrease enemy attack/accuracy/def….

Now in terms of gadgets, his Hover Board gives decent maneuverability in the air and lets him keep up with Armored Hero's own flight. He could potentually use B.A.R.E.L. to sneak attack Armored Hero. Papyrus's Shrink Ray might be useful depending on how small Armored Hero becomes? Papyrus' "fancy science ray" can enlarge rooms and make Papyrus a titan, but that would only make him a bigger target and, last but not least, Orange Mode helps Papyrus evade attacks.

Papyrus also has a bunch of other miscellaneous powers, might as well also list em. Toon Force lets him "walk on air", so it might be useful if Armored Hero ever destroys his Hover Board. His powernull is probably too limited to be of much help. Afterimage Creation might help him evade Armored Hero's attacks?
But the big one, his ACCORDION's Sleep manip is a really easy wincon Papyrus has at his disposal.

Best to wait till AH's supporter comes here, all I know is that they can fly and will spam radiation lasers or something

 

[Adem_Warlock69]

Papyrus being an inorganic that resists radiation is also a pretty big advantage he has

 

[ThePrimalHunter]

I think Papyrus almost certianly has this. His resistance to Radiation gets rid of Cory's trump card, and powers like "Blue Mode" could make it so that Cory couldn't fly. Without flight, I don't really see much way for Cory to avoid Danmaku from attacks that directly target his own soul. Cory also isn't the worlds best fighter at all, so it's not like he can win via skill or anything

Superior AP will help Cory and is probably the only thing keeping this from being a stomp, as Cory's radiation beam still does deal kinetic damage and could harm Papyrus if he manages to hit him, but Papyrus's resistance to radiation poisoning as well as overall better hacks and options in this fight makes me lean towards him

Adding my vote to the hat, this makes grace with 3 votes? Or does it need more for FC/OC battles?

FC/OC needs 3 votes to call for grace, so yes

That was quick
