Yeah, jumping on the bandwagon. Goku is next. Heads up.

4-B. Man of Steel vs Khorne's favorite soldier.

Khorne's isn't going all "bring 'em back" in this match, but will still lolnegate if necessary.

Speed equalized.

Khorne-chaos-kharn
Ax Crazy Killer of Hax

Not even joking, I think Superman wins.

Kharn's main power is that he removes hax sorcery from the opponent and it reduces the fight to a physical brawl, so that doesn't do anything to Superman.

Superman meanwhile is way above on the 4-B scale than Kharn.
 
Khorne would still stop things like heat vision and intangibility wouldn't he?

How much higher on the 4-B scale?
 
No. Heat Vision is a 100% offensive attack. Khorne Daemons have shown energy blasts and whatnot. Intangibility via phasing is just a form of dodging.
 
Kharn has Gorechild, and far more expierience and skill compared to Supes.

Voting Kharn.
 
"sucking the souls of its victims and feeding them to the ever ravenous Blood God"

I feel I could find feats of Superman resisting Soul Manipulation.
 
I mean because it is ranged. Khorne likes his fighters up close and personal doesn't he?

Intangibilty I'm more referring to Superman sticking his hand through Kharn's armour into his brain.
 
Is the soul hax done directly by Kharn through the axe (in which case it would be 1-B soul suck)?
 
@Monarch

Superman can keep distance and can use heat vision on Point Blank. He's done it multiple times.

Kharn can bypass durability so I dunno why Superman can't, if he is using his own fists and body to do it rather than sorcery through a distance.
 
Fair enough. Seeing as they can both bypass durability though, is the difference in their 4-B even notable?
 
Didn't think so. What's the level of soul suck then, and what's superman's best soul resist feat?
 
I see someone liked my caps.

Though the definitive title for Kharn was "Ax-Crazy Killer of Hax with an Axe".
 
With unequalized speed, Clark could just blitz, but with it equalized, I'm less sure on the direct result.

A lot of Supes' powers aren't exactly hax. Stuff like heat vision and ice breath are basic attacks and the ability to become intangible is something every daemon in 40k can do, so it's not like it's unfair.

The most dangerous thing to Supes here is Gorechild, since it seems to ignore physical durability (likely via similar properties to something such as Genestealer claws), be a daemon weapon at this point, and able to hurt enemies with the non-physical properties of daemons and such. I can't remember the exact degree of Superman's resistance to stuff like this, so I don't know exactly how hazardous this will be.

The most obvious thing Clark could do would be to press the extreme range advantage, though it's not in character for him to play keep away immediately with an unfamiliar opponent, so Kharn potentially exploiting that early portion of the fight could matter.

Is BFR allowed? Because that's quite possibly the easiest win option Superman has. Stranding Kharn somewhere in space and away from the fight won't kill him, but it would be difficult for him to reliably return under the normal timeframe, since he's not someone like Ahriman who can open and close Warp portals on a whim.
 
D-did you just coordinate that huge post with my casual reply or is Azathoth legit always close whenever a Nyarlatothep is around?
 
That aside, the BFR sounds like a fair point and from what I heard in other threads it's not OOC for Supes to do it. Sounds like a pretty even matchup but it's hard to know, could he do so before getting hit with the Gorechild or something?

Or would Supes resist it somehow?

EDIT: Guess my final vote depends on those resistance feats Matt said he would be bringing.
 
"I can't remember the exact degree of Superman's resistance to stuff like this, so I don't know exactly how hazardous this will be."

Superman has some insane feats of resisting Existence Erasure, that I know. I do know there's a feat where an embodiment of death is like "Now you die" to Superman and uses his powers to make people die instantly, and it doesn't work at all. Generally considered to be a really high-showing, tho.

Superman's will also made him maintain his own individuality within the Source, instead of becoming one with it.
 
Voting for Supes for above reasons. BFR, Range and possible resistance to Kharn's main wincon.
 
Supes is way above Kharn on the 4B scale according to Matt and, as was pointed out by him and Azzy, the whole "needs to fight in CQC without hax" wouldn't hinder him since that's his thing.

I'm leaning more on Supes atm via being superior in physical stats and possibly launching/dragging Kharn into space like he does against Doomsday or something.

Kharnis
Supes
 
By the way, Superman consistently is shown capable of surviving Darkseid's Omega Beams, which erase the target in body and soul. So Kharne would need to do some serious hacking and slashing to kill Supes.
 
Right, I'll count it now, then (I didn't do it at first because I thought you were waiting for more stuff on Supes resistances/options as well).

Superman: 5 (Matthew Schroeder, FateAlbane, Pachi2, Gargoyle One, Azathoth)

Kharn:

Inconclusive:
 
Superman: 6 (Matthew Schroeder, FateAlbane, Pachi2, Gargoyle One, Azathoth, The Wright Way)

Kharn:

Inconclusive:
 
Superman: 9 (Matthew Schroeder, FateAlbane, Pachi2, Gargoyle One, Azathoth, The Wright Way, Sir Ovens, Monarch Laciel, Cropfist)

Kharn:

Inconclusive:

Eep. Unanimous victory for Superman, so this can be requested without a grace period.
