Clix vs. Comix TOC! 31-35pts. Round 1 Match 11: KABUKI VS. RIDDLER

[Magnito]

Let's keep the ball rolling with Match 11

I was playing Heroclix the other day, and building my team, I had 103 points left. I looked at my selection and realized that U HT Batman and R IC Hulk both cost the same. This got me thinking. Just because they are Heroclix equals doesn’t translate back translate back to comics. I think most of us would agree that Hulk could beat Batman in a fight.

That is the idea for this tournament. Every entry will be close to the same amount of points Heroclix wise, but this will be their comic forms fighting!

Rules:
This will be a standard single elimination tournament with 32 combatants. There will be 2 to a fight. They get no knowledge of each other (unless they have fought in the past). The only thing they get is the Heroclix figure of there enemies, and a PAC so they know what the opponent looks like and a bit about what they can do (this can be misleading however, like if they face Electro and think he will try to poison them). They will have 5 minutes to prepare. This is a fight to the death or KO, whichever happens first, and they must fight (no waiting for the opponent to die of starvation). They have with them what they normally carry and what there fig has if it is different. (Like how Bullseye doesn’t carry a gun, but he has one on the fig). If the fig that is being used is the rookie, you do NOT have to treat the fighter like that. (unless the characters powers change dramatically ie: Rouge)

When you vote, please try to justify your answer. You don’t have to write an essay, just a short explanation will do.

KABUKI
A Japanese General discovers his wife was raped by his son. The mother, a kabuki actress, dies in childbirth. The child, Ukiko Kai, is taken away to a private academy to be raised as an agent of the Noh; an agency created combat the Yakuza. Years later, when Ryoichi Kai , the gangster son, learns about his bastard daughter, he tracks down the girl and carves the words "Kabuki" into her face as a warning to the general. The girl survives the attack, but has been changed by the experience. Believing she is now a "ghost ," she become Kabuki, the deadliest of the eight Noh agents. Kabuki is a graceful killer, versed in all forms of unarmed combat, though prefers the sickle used by her farming ancestors. Kabuki eventually gains revenge on her father Kai, killing him and most of his organization. When Kabuki is brought before the Noh board of directors for punishment, she bites off her own finger before assassinating the entire board.

RIDDLER
Growing up, Eddie Nashton cheated and conned carnival-goers with his crooked conundrums. Seeking bigger fortunes, he became a thief and changed his name to Edward Nigma. As the Riddler, Nigma taunted the cops and Batman with riddles and clues about his upcoming crimes. However, he wasn't as smart as thought he was when he discovered he was psychologically incapable of not leaving clues! Riddler just compensates by making his clues more complex and if that doesn't work, he cheats!

kabuki
i think of more to say
my vote kabuki

[Q99]

Riddler's fairly smart, but he's a planner. Kabuki's an incredibly skilled and smart assasin, good as disguise and raw fighting ability.

[Magnito]

This really is a slaughter isn't it. At least the Zombies will have a good meal when they eat the remains of the Riddler. My vote...
KABUKI

[St-Dumas]

Riddler: Riddle me this, Riddle me...
(Head goes off)

My vote: Kabuki

[theZehrung]

oh....oh....Kabuki definitely...all the above already have the answers....Kabuki has weapons that Riddler cannot avoid at all...two Scythes ...swish slash...Riddler dead.

Kabuki wins.

[Iscariot]

This is hardly fair. The Riddler being the martial arts beast that he is. The fight would only last like two seconds. I vote for the Riddler.

[Rando]

I vote for Kabuki.

Riddler just isn't much for fights.

[Q99]

For those unfamiliar with Kabuki- Imagine the Bride from Kill Bill, except with high levels of government assasin training.


One of the Circle of Noh would be a tough night for Batman. The whole Circle (there aren't many) would be a huge threat that he'd need to call backup for (and more than just one other Batfamily).
