I...Cant figure this one out.

EDIT:

GRANDE MALAZAN CONVERGENCE OF DOOM STYLE.

Setting the scale for an interstellar war for your life our D-limiters are:

Predator: Gets support from one(1) Predator tech Spacecraft, Plasma weapons in tow. Possibility of weaponizing trapped aliens is allowed but limited to one queen and three daughters and whatever Mayhem may ensue from that strange octopus thing we saw in Prometheus. Because why not?

Batman: Can call on all his Gotham Based allies and quasi-neutral enemies. Can use his full range of technologies as explained in every movie and series to date. No JLA, because that would be cheating...*

The Terminator: Shall be reviewed to encompass full capabilities of Skynet because thats just how we do. :thumbup:*

Judge dread: Full future Law assistance from all the Judge enforcers and allies linked to Judge dread that are "mortal".

Hell Boy: Team in tow. access to full range of powers at his full maturity.

Marv: Is just Marv actually. I guess he can bring his Sin city buddies but really nobody would know why.

Robo-Cop: Uploads the modern military police standard. Whatever is available to the military they make available to him. Effectively he is upgraded to near Ironman status because lets face it they are cut from the same cloth and a modern version of Robocop would actually kick as much ass.

Wolverine: can call on exactly Three x-men. If everyone else gets ships and planet destroyers, Wolvie gets to bring along his buddies. NO PHOENIX.

Finally Vader: is Vader to the fullest extent of the word. Can enlist one subordinate and has access to one(1) Deathstar. All force Subordinates are no higher than Padawan level, only two other Sith with force capabilities.


*Reference tech and skills you argue with if it is possible please. not all of us are current with all the aboves technologies and or abilities!

Not sure this changes anything but I think it sets up a a grander scenario which makes it alot more enjoyable.

Darth Vader would know when the other eight were approaching. He can crush their larynx from a distance, block bullets with his sword and slice through wolverine like he was made of butter.

There really isn't any contest here. It is Darth Vader. He'll sense you on the other side of the planet.

Only problematic opponent would be Hell Boy if he was in his "Amun Ra" mode but then you would be more worried about the giant dragon octopus in the sky.

Hellboy can tell Death to give your soul back after one of them kills you, then you can both go for a beer. No contest.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

commentary:

Oooh a shocking first post from abyss. all those betting on the near obligatory: "wolverine!" just lost a ton of money. :thumbup:

In all seriousness I vote the Terminator. Time travel. Need I say more?

Now, if the Shrike was on this list instead of the Terminator. Then my vote would be on the thorned killing machine.

But but... :thumbup:

..."technically" a vote for the terminator translates to a vote for skynet who can send the terminators back any time it wants too.

EDIT: dammit Darth Vader can't be the baddest guy up there! he doesn't have the high ground!!!

Sorry. I can't seem to think much beyond that. But the Arnold Terminator is the only one on that list that I know of who was specifically tasked with a protection mission and I think his charge was still alive at the end of the movie. So there's that.

Predator.

He can be invisible, has super horrific weapons, infra-red vision, super strength and speed, ruthless hunting skills.

Though it would be an interesting match versus Darth Vader.

Haha.
I've got to pick Vadar. I'm not just jumping on the Sith band wagon here, the lightsaber has the potential to annihilate all other pretenders.
We haven't got to the choke hold or force lightening yet...

Vadar all the way.
I find all others' lack of faith, disturbing.

I still pick Batman because if this hyper-hypothetical shared universe were possible, you'd bet your left genital that he'd have a ysalamir backpack and/or the arcane ritual knowledge needed to lock Hellboy away for a few months (exactly like he does with Arkham and the Gotham City baddies).

The rest can be dealt with in easy manner - EMP devices for Terminator and RoboCop, regular fisticuffs and BatLine for the super-strong Marv and Wolverine and sneaking around with traps to get Dredd and the Predator.

Batman vs. the Shrike is troublesome. I've no idea how he'd survive long enough to figure out the crystalline transform needed.

Alright, fine! I'll be the oddball! Again!

The question has two parts, both which demands considerations: How would each of them protect you and how would the other eight get at you? By pure, deductive reasoning, there should really only be a contest between two contenders: Darth Vader, as you all seem to like so much, and the Predator. Why? Because the have INTERSTELLAR SPACE SHIPS! Have one of those spirit you away would automatically put you out of reach for the other seven. If it was a question of who would come out in single combat, it'd be a lot harder to decide. But it's not. It's about who can keep the others from getting to you.

At first I was with the rest of you. Darthy is clearly the most badass for pure power. He can command planet destroying weaponry. His space ship armada is a power beyond what any of the others can muster (unless Hellboy goes all horny on us, of course). And that's before you count in his power over the force. If it was a dick measuring contest, his would probably be the smallest of them all. Unfortunately, his also notoriously bad at hide and seek. The Star Wars movies documents fairly well how easy it is to hide from the Empire. Nevermind that he can destroy planets, if he doesn't know which planet you are on that little trick becomes useless. And it will become useless if Preddy is the one to protect you. If ever there was a hide and seek champion, it was Anne Frank. But a very close second was The Predator. For fuck's sake, both he and his ship has cloaking! He doesn't even have to try! He'd just flip a switch and we'd cruise to a planet with a good climate that isn't an historical hunting ground for slightly too big a prey. Vader would spend the rest of his days blowing up planets willy nilly and the rest would stomp their feet back on earth (given that Vader hasn't blown it up yet).

This also works the other way around. Darth, never the most conspicuous of men, would not be hard to find in a galaxy and it is embarrassingly easy to sneak aboard one of his ships. Predators - hunters extraordinaire - would be in, slit my throat, and out again before my body had hit the floor. There's no way Vader would be able to hold them off forever. He'd have to be with me all the time. Like, ALL THE TIME! When I'd go for a poop, there he'd be, watching me, with that heavy breathing of his. Going to bed? There he'd be, tortuously breathing in your ear until you fall asleep. Having a morning shower (yes, maccy, a morning shower)? Be prepared to be grossed out when he takes his armour off! The second he'd take his eyes off you, the Predators would strike.

You can keep your Vader. I'll have The Predator protect me, thank you very much.

A very convincing argument. I'll give you that.
