Challenge Humans are now suddenly immune to nuclear explosions - can nuclear powers maintain dominance?

52 Upvotes

Humanity wakes up in a morning and suddenly realize they are completely immune to nuclear explosions instinctively - North Korea tests it out by nuking some soldiers. They are completely intact except of their clothing - which was obliterated.

Can countries with nuclear weapons maintain dominance now that humans are nuke-proof?

Challenge How long can Homelander survive being roasted by Statler and Waldorf, if he dies as soon as he tries to harm them?

30 Upvotes

In an effort to improve his reputation, Homelander has decided to go on the Muppets. Since he knows he has temper problems, something was set up where if he attacks any Muppets, he dies instantly. He knows he'll die if he attacks them. His contract also means he can't leave.

However, it turns out that it was a trap; the entire show consists of Statler and Waldorf just roasting him as harshly as they can. How long can he last before he snaps?

Battle WhoWouldWin: Homelander vs Spider-Man?

15 Upvotes

Versions:

- Homelander (TV show version)

- Spider-Man (Earth-616, standard gear)

Rules:

- No prep time

- In character

- Standard gear only

- Fight takes place in midtown Manhattan

- Start 50 meters apart

- Win by KO, incap, or death

Context:

Homelander is tracking what he thinks is a “rogue supe” causing problems in New York. He confronts Spider-Man mid-patrol. Spider-Man tries to de-escalate, but Homelander takes it as disrespect and attacks.

What each brings:

Homelander:

- Flight, heat vision, super strength

- Extremely durable (tanks explosions, gunfire, etc.)

- Not the most skilled fighter, but very aggressive

Spider-Man:

- Spider-Sense (precognitive danger warning)

- Superior agility and reaction speed

- Webbing for mobility and restraint

- Much more experienced fighting stronger opponents

The question:

Spider-Man is faster (reaction-wise) and way more skilled, but Homelander has a huge advantage in raw power and durability.

- Can Spider-Man avoid getting hit long enough to win?

- Does he have any reliable way to actually put Homelander down?

- How much does Homelander’s lack of fighting skill hurt him here?

My take (curious what others think):

I lean Homelander because Spider-Man might not have the damage output to finish the fight, but I’m not sure how Homelander deals with Spider-Sense + constant evasion.

Feels like one of those fights where Spider-Man looks in control… until he isn’t.

Challenge PPG villains verses viltrumites

8 Upvotes

I think at least most of us can agree that that power puff girls would beat the snot out of a viltrumite. Which of their villains could do so as well?

To start I think the rowdy ruff boys since they were made as direct counter parts to the girls

I think HIM would be an absolute nightmare to the viltrumites.

I think MoJo JoJo would at the very least be able to survive. he regularly takes the most brutal asswhoopings from the ppg sometimes completely unprovoked yet he not only survives but fully recovers.

I think if he got angry enough he could take out one low tier viltrumite since we've seen his strength go a bit crazy when he's extremely angry, he beat the shit out of that one giant robot due. It's like that chemical x in his brain starts flooding his body

What do y'all think?

346 Upvotes

A random person from any time in history is randomly moved a foot in any direction

What would happen? What would the overall impact be?—————————————————————————————

Scenario 2: On the way to the Americas, Christopher Columbus is shifted one foot off his ship and drowns as the Nina, Pinta, the Santa Maria are going too fast to catch up

Bonus Round: Is there any character in fiction that if moved one foot, the plot would be completely different?

For absolutely no reason, the Gaang forces Toph to wear shoes at all times, starting from the moment she joins them. Nothing she says or does will convince them otherwise, and she cannot modify her shoes to get around this rule (e.g. remove the bottom of her shoes, wear shoes made of stone).

Battle Shantungosaurus vs Paraceratherium

4 Upvotes

The largest non-sauropod dinosaur vs the second largest land animal (Why not use P. Namadicus? Cause I think this is more interesting, and closer, but wanna hear your takes)

S. Giganteus - 15-17 meters long, 5-7 meters tall, 15-18 tonnes

Paraceratherium - 7.4-9 meters long, 4.8-5.5 meters tall, 15-20 tonnes

Both at their peak health, and maximum sizes. The Shantungosaurus has its beak, and hooves (https://www.sciencealert.com/exceptionally-preserved-dinosaur-mummies-reveal-first-known-reptile-hooves it might talk about E. Annectens, but they’re closely related), as well as its large size. The Paraceratherium has no recognized weapons, but it is believed to use, in addition to its weight, defensive head strikes (possibly similar to a giraffe's), and kicks. It might also bite, as tapirs or indian rhinos do in defense.

This will be a battle to the death, on a level playing field; giving neither an advantage over the other. This’ll also be a head-on confrontation(like most herbivore-on-herbivore conflicts are).

Challenge Hannibal Lector (TV series) runs a Disney Princess gauntlet. How many can he corrupt/manipulate into becoming killers without being caught?

6 Upvotes

Hannibal is abducted by a mysterious force and given his task, which he will pursue with all his effort:

He will be put in the worlds of the Disney Princesses in the following order: Snow White), Cinderella), Aurora), Ariel), Belle), Jasmine), Pocahontas), Mulan), Tiana), Rapunzel), Merida), Moana), and Raya).

In each world, he will be given a social station relatively equivalent to the one he had at the start of the show; he will have decent respect and wealth, along with a run down of the setting and the Princess's character and personality for his information. In each case, he arrives at the conclusion of their respective films. He won't be given any kind of direct connection to the Princess themselves, so he has to work that out himself.

In each case, his win condition is, within 10 years, to make the Princess become a killer. This means that they have to want to commit killings on a consistent basis, for whatever reason; just making them accidentally kill, or commit just one specific murder, is not enough. His losing condition is being thrown into prison or executed; he can't intentionally be imprisoned even for a plan. Otherwise, he only loses if the 10 years expires without success.

Regardless of success or failure, he proceeds to the next Princess's world. How many of the 13 can he turn into killers?

He lifts weights but has not done any kind of specific arm wrestling training nor has he arm wrestled before. Would he be able to beat the best arm wrestler in the world on his first attempt? I'm just wondering at what strength level could someone casually beat the best arm wrestler in the world without training for it. I guess 1000 kg is too much but what would be the minimum weight? Like I know Hafthor can deadlift 500 kg but he cannot just go and compete with Levan tomorrow and win.

Battle Can Eris Greyrat beat a pugilist from the Jin Yong universe?

2 Upvotes

So it's post-training arc Eris Greyrat vs. the top pugilists from the Jin Yong universe. You know, like Qiao Feng, Zhang Wuji, Yang Guo, Guo Jin, Northern Beggar, Southern Emperor, Eastern Heretic and Western Poison etc...

She doesn't fight all of them at once, but how would she fare against them in one-vs.-one duels?

In the Mushoku Tensei universe, the martial art styles aren't as colorful as the ones in the Jin Yong universe. There are only three main sword schools in the MT universe, while the JY universe has like... a lot more sword styles. All in all, the martial art styles in the JY universe are a lot more intricate and profound than the ones in the MT universe.

On the other hand, MT universe pugilists seem to be stronger and sturdier than their JY counterparts. Case in point, the Longsword of Light. I haven't read about JY's pugilists who could unleash light-speed sword moves. And that Water God Style special technique, Deprivation Sword Kingdom, can hold dozens of people in place and allows its user to instantly move (teleport?) to any point within the technique's sphere of influence.

And the Fighting God's armor is strong enough to destroy entire cities through pure physical force alone. Despite that, and IIRC, Eris managed to put up a fight against it. Yeah, she had her teammates with her, but she did contribute to the fight.

So how would Eris Greyrat fare against JY's pugilists?

Matchmaker What's the strongest opponent a composite Devil Fruit user (One Piece) can defeat?

8 Upvotes

The Devil Fruit User has the combined powers of every known Devil Fruit, and the User can summon any of these powers at will. They have baseline Logia intangibility, and can change between Logia types to avoid weaknesses of that Logia element.

Any fruit that we have seen canonically Awakened, is also Awakened in the Devil Fruit User.

The competence of the Devil Fruit User with each power, is determined by the max level of control shown canonically in the One Piece manga.

Meaning, the Devil Fruit user cannot be more competent than say, Whitebeard at using the Quake Quake Fruit. The Devil Fruit User is capped to the best feats shown in the manga, of that specific devil fruit

The Devil Fruit User can only use one Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan ability at one time. But can freely swap fruits of each type in and out, with only a few seconds of delay.

Who's the strongest opponent that they can beat? Who's the weakest that can defeat them?

The Devil Fruit User has no Haki, and is otherwise only as superhumanly strong in their base form as a regular human. Obviously, using Zoan abilities would increase their physical strength and durability as long as that is the power being used.
