Comics vs Anime

[l Cyclops l]

We should a comic book characters vs Anime characters

Superman vs Goku
Deadpool vs Dante(DMC)
Ect...

[GriffonLyles]

This is actually a really neat idea.
I'd love to see a match-up between the cast of Dragon Ball and the Justice League.

But, why do you attribute Dante as an anime character? I thought Devil May Cry was a video game...?

It is but they realesed an anime recently

Not recently, it was years ago.

That said.

Anime characters mostly just completely overpower comic book characters.

I remember I laughed so hard at this one Mugen clip of Legendary Super Saiyan Broly vs The Incredible Hulk. Total curbstomp battle in Broly's favor (as it should be). That was hilarious.

Maybe if no DBZ characters were included, it would be fair.

Nah, man. Your being biest. Just cause these DBZ character are written to be all powerfull doesnt mean they are top s**t. Superman is powerd by the sun. If Goku were to throw a spirit bomb at him it would only make him stronger. What about the gods in comics?Like the Sandman (Dream) He could kill any DBZ characters in their dreams. Contatine? He kicked satan's a**. Batman? He's a genius and a detective... he himself could take out all DBZ characters.

Well, let me put it this way.

Comic books have what I call "Planet crackers". As in, they can crack the planets apart into pieces with extreme effort.

DBZ, on the other hand, has "Planet poppers". With minimum effort, they can pop planets like a freaking bubble. Just a little flick of the wrist, *pop* planets gone.

This is demonstrated very specifically, in the Broly movie.

Only actual Gods would really be able to do anything. and even then, MOST of them can't do s**t lol.

I'll throw my two cents into the pot.

Storm vs. Sailor Mercury
So, we've basically got a weather goddess against a very smart school student who happens to have special powers with the water/ice element upon transformation. From the get-go, I think Storm would have the definitive advantage. Here's why:

1. In battle, Sailor Mercury only used her attacks as assists to Sailor Moon's final "Ultimate Attack", whatever it was during whatever season. Mercury's attacks consist of shooting bubbles en masse, making it really misty/foggy so the opponent can't see where its targets are, and on a rare occasion: freezing the opponent into paralysis. If Mercury were as street-smart as she was book-smart, she could utilize the environment and her limited moveset to her advantage. But considering her real-life personality is spent studying school material and being socially shy, I highly doubt she's well-equipped for one-on-one battle.

2. Storm, as far as elements as concerned, is Sailor Mercury, Sailor Neptune, AND Sailor Jupiter all-in-one, minus the Japanese element/plus the African element. By that alone, her arsenal of attacks is already more intimidating than Sailor Mercury's. Outside the videogame genre though, I'd think Storm's a lot more dangerous as she's had a lot more time to use, adapt, and refine her mutant powers to a definite focus. In other words, she's trained for battle, and with the exception of small spaces, she's definitely one fearless woman.

Looks like one comic character got an edge over an anime avatar. And I'm a much bigger fan of Sailor Mercury than of Storm...

Goku got beat in every single individual contest against the Justice Force's individual specialities except for the consolation eating event between Flash (who has to eat a s**t ton to have the energy to run as fast as he does all the time) and himself. Canon comic too I think, even though it was a weird crossover.

The hell are you talking about? Never heard of that, but I KNOW there's no way he could get beat by Batman, Wonder Woman, or Green Lantern. lantern's constructs get smashed apart by brute force all the time (And you aren't really gonna get any more brute force than a Saiyan). Plus when he goes Super Saiyan, that means Lantern can't touch him (Yellow aura) lol.

Superman's the only one who stands a chance, and I still gotta give that to Goku because even though they would be virtually on par, not only can goku keep getting stronger, but he's also THE master martial artist.

Only ones I can see having a fair chance against him are the ones who would avoid fighting, like Martian Manhunter, etc.

Come to think of it, most Gods wouldn't be able to do much either. Goku is stronger than Gods in his own universe, who are already praised as being wholly invincible.

[Lindsays Trachea]

The Beyonder, Franklin Richards, and Scarlet Witch could simply will Goku out of existence. There you go, fight over.

The Sentry could probably take him in a straight fight. Goku likes to scream, let's see how good that does against one of Black Bolt's screams, which can destroy an entire planet with a single syllable.

Goku isn't unbeatable, and even if he was, western comic book heroes would realistically find some way to beat him, even if it's by pulling something out of their asses. Note how many times Doctor Strange has single-handedly kicked the asses of nigh omnipotent beings.

To say Dragon Ball or anime characters are unmatched by western comics is bullshit, and shows nothing but ignorance. I've just given you several examples of characters that can take on Goku, and I haven't even branched out of the Marvel universe. Jesse Custer from Preacher can simply use the Word of God to get Goku to cut out his own heart. Hell, in that same series the Saint of Killers killed both God and Satan themselves, and hitting him with a nuke had no effect on him whatsoever; pretty sure an all powerful monkey would be no problem.

Even then, there's actually very few anime that has characters in the vein of Dragon Ball characters or Ideon. I'd go as far as to say Alucard is one of the more overpowered characters in anime, and he's nowhere near Goku's level. Goku makes Knights of the Round look like a common breeze.

not to be rude, but can i just point out that she's a mutant and that's how she got her powers? the way it is worded here sounds like you're referring to her ethnicity as a source of her power, which is not how it is.

just clarifying.


comics vs anime sounds awesome but isn't Marvel vs. Capcom pretty much the same thing (if we consider capcom video game versions of anime)? i mean, mega man (capcom) looks like an anime character in the box art of some of the earlier games; resident evil 2 had leon kennedy and claire and she looked kinda anime, and ada wong from RE4 is very much like anime; chun-li looks anime, along with cammy; Arthur (Ghosts'n Goblins) looks anime; Joe Viewtiful looks anime. i guess my point is, a bunch of characters look like they could be drawn and have their own anime shows, but essentially the style is the same.

what would be cool is if we could get some nintendo characters mixed in the brawl; i'd like to see Mario, Sonic, and Link go toe-to-toe against Spider-man, Ryu, and Wolverine.

[Zero the Crimson]

As interesting a thought as that is, there are way too many biased people and both universes are far too vast for any of them to even begin to consider a competition between the two.

[kain-bluedge]

i didnt read too much into this, but i would love to see how this topic develops....

[Heavy Artillery]

These kinds of threads inevitably devolve into a c**k-measuring contest about which character is the most hax, lol.

That said, if something like this ever happened... come on! Why on earth would anyone want those boring as hell invincible heroes?

I'd rather see the off-the-wall, memorable and distinctive characters than "lol i have the most intimidation points, look at me destroy this sun **smug grin** HMPH".
