SnakeEyes
who would win?

ARC Trooper 117
This is actually kinda' hard, since Durge has that regenerative "power"....

SnakeEyes
Yeah, i spent a little longer thinking of this fight, trying to determine who would be a good match and this one came to me. I am still undecided.

Bardock42
I don't know Durge, wherte is he from?

ARC Trooper 117
The REPUBLIC Comic Books, and THE CLONE WARS Animated mini-series.

Bardock42
A pic maybe?

SnakeEyes
here ya go, the one he is stepping on is Obi-wan

Bardock42
Sweet and the comic is called Republic? When did it take place in the SW universe?

SnakeEyes
yeah, they have it in graphic novel volumes now, and the comic series is on-going. It takes place durning the Clone Wars and has many new, awesome characters. If you wanna know more, PM me or go to the Star Wars Republic thread i started here.

SnakeEyes
I think Durge could take this one, maybe... Input would be nice

ARC Trooper 117
I finally put this one down-I think Jango &/or Boba would "win" a fight against Durge, merely because of their EU resourcefullness (sp?) and Mandalorian training, etc.
But I think even they couldn't "kill" Durge in a battle.

~SnakeEyes, I'm interested in what you know of the Republic Comic Series.....~

SnakeEyes
Interested in what I know? hmmm, i have issues 50 through 71, but i am missing 2 of them. Star Wars Obsession, a comic miniseries is supposed to lead into the events of ROTS, and i have read the first 2 issues that are out so far. Durge has appeared in the second one, and Alpha is supposed to make an appearance. I know quite a bit, so you might need to specify big grin
I have seen about 10 of the Clone Wars episodes on TV, and am considering buying the DVD when it comes out on March 22. Today, i finished reading the boook: Republic Commando.

ARC Trooper 117
wacko
I see.... stick out tongue
Wow, it's been awhile since I've picked up a real STAR WARS Book....and even longer since I've gone to a Comic Book Store! scared

Lol, I don't want to have to ask you for a summary. stick out tongue

Bardock42
I love the star wars comics, we don'T get all over here though, I am not sure if we got the republic ones.

SnakeEyes
Durge is supposed to meet his doom soon

§pearhead
My avatar comes from Durge...

I'd think it'd be a good match...if I were to make a bet, I'd have to flip a cion.

SnakeEyes
Anyone wanna write a synopsis?

SnakeEyes
BUMP

SnakeEyes
I am gonna have to say Durge in the long run, unless Jango and Boba can somehow stall him long enough until they formulate a working plan

SnakeEyes
Here is some Durge-alicious info:
The bounty hunter known as Durge had weathered centuries of violence and warfare, emerging as a merciless and nearly unstoppable warrior driven by ancient vendettas. Though he identified himself as a bounty hunter, he held no guild allegiance, answered to no benefactor, and seemed to have no need of riches. He hunted for the pure sport of it, to feed an insatiable bloodlust that spanned literally hundreds of worlds and almost two thousand years.
When completely encased in his battered high impact armor, Durge's true alien heritage was obscured. Though humanoid in appearance, Durge was a Gen'Dai, a rare species with an unusually long lifespan -- some Gen'Dai reportedly have lived for over four thousand years.

The peculiar nervous and circulatory systems of the Gen'Dai makes them extremely resistant to physical injury. The Gen'Dai physiology boasts millions of nerve clusters throughout the body, and a vascular system that distributes blood without the need of a central heart. Lacking the vulnerable vital organs of most humanoids, a Gen'Dai could sustain multiple lacerations and even, it is rumored, complete dismemberment and yet still survive. In addition to these extremes of endurance, the distributed neural network gives the Gen'Dai phenomenal reflexes. Should a Gen'Dai sustain too many injuries, they are capable of entering into extended periods of hibernation, during which they can heal wounds, recover from disease, and slow the aging process.

With such formidable physical abilities, it is fortunate for the galaxy at large that the Gen'Dai are, by nature, not an aggressive species. They are nomadic, and their home world has been lost to the ages. Due to a low birthrate, the Gen'Dai are very rarely encountered, and they usually avoid confrontation if possible. Though the Gen'Dai are physically suited for long life, their minds weaken with age, and the species is susceptible to depression, hysteria, and other forms of psychosis.

The Gen'Dai that would become Durge was born two thousand years before the fall of the Republic, and was regarded by his elders as an exceptional physical specimen at a young age. A predilection for aggression, coupled by witnessing bounty hunters in action, forever steered young Durge into a lifetime of violence. The lure of the blood trade drew Durge away from his tribe and into the rest of the galaxy. For centuries, he studied under the most experienced and dangerous bounty hunters he could find.

About a millennia before the Battle of Naboo, when the galaxy was wracked by warfare waged between the Jedi Knights and Sith Lords, Durge was in the employ of one of the few remaining Sith. In this time, he squared off against many a Jedi, learning their fighting techniques, and developing weaponry and combat tactics to counter their moves. When the Sith were finally wiped out at the Battle of Ruusan, Durge went into hiding to avoid Jedi reprisals. He adopted dozens of different aliases while continuing his career as a hunter, amassing a sizable fortune.

Nine hundred years later, Durge was hired to kill the leader of the Mandalorians. Though he succeeded, the Mandalorians struck back and managed and subdue Durge. Leave it to the Mandalorians to devise a means of restraining a Gen'Dai. They turned Durge's longevity against him, finding ways of inflicting pain throughout his scattered nerves. He was a victim of unspeakable torture, unable to die.

Durge was able to escape the Mandalorians, and retreated to parts unknown to hibernate and recover. It took nearly a century to undo the damage the Mandalorians wrought. Though his physical body had healed, Durge's already dangerous psyche was pushed further past the brink of sanity.

When Durge emerged from his slumber, he sought vengeance on the Mandalorians. He was cheated of his revenge as he learned they were all but extinct. He soon found purpose, though. He had awakened to a galaxy at war, a galaxy where the Jedi Knights led clone soldiers in battle against the automated troops of the Confederacy. The charismatic Count Dooku lured Durge into his ranks, and the ancient bounty hunter relished an ironic twist in his quest for retribution.

The Republic clones were cast from a Mandalorian genetic template. Though the galaxy may be bereft of true Mandalorians, their legacy lived on in the form of clone troopers. Durge would take great satisfaction in being able to kill legions of his sworn enemies.

In becoming Dooku's henchman, the bounty hunter was teamed up with Asajj Ventress, a Dark Jedi and commander within the Separatist military. The two were formidable adversaries for the Republic, and Durge took the lives of many Jedi with great zeal. Alongside Ventress, Durge unleashed a horrible chemical weapon attack on the Gungan colony moon of Ohma-D'un. The Jedi were shocked to discover Durge, a warrior like no other on an increasingly deadly battlefield. Durge and the threat of chemical weaons returned on the Separatist outpost of Queyta.

Durge was also dispatched to bolster the security of Muunilinst, the homeworld of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. He organized and led a droid army of IG lancer droids, creating an elite rapid deployment military force to protect this key world of the Confederacy.

Durge led his droid forces in defense of Muunilinst when a huge Republic taskforce attacked the planet. Durge's army inflicted great damage to the armored vehicles of the Republic army, but Durge was ultimately bested in one-on-one combat with General Obi-Wan Kenobi.

In addition to Durge's frighteningly powerful physical abilities, he was a walking arsenal. He was proficient with ranged weapons like his twin blasters, melee weapons like a spiked flail, and thrown weapons like a set of energized bolas. Durge's heavy armor included wrist darts and forearm-mounted energy shields that let him parry lightsaber attacks for short periods of time. Durge often used an agile rocket pack as well as an extensively modified swoop speeder bike.

SnakeEyes
PS: I know how Durge dies and who kills him.

Bardock42
don't want to read that right now, Durge is pretty strong though although I hate him......he even killed Jon Antilles...who else did ever killed Jon Antilles : blink

SnakeEyes
Well, knowbody else killed Jon Antilles...
I like Durge, he is pretty cool, and his death is pretty unique/worthy.

Bardock42
I don't want antilles to be dead.....and durge ias an *******...wayx overpowered too

DCLXVI
Durge died? no

SnakeEyes
Yes would you like to know the details?

Bardock42

SnakeEyes
They weren't very large characters or important to many stories... why do you miss them so much?
PS: Did you get the Durge-ariffic Death comic yet?

SnakeEyes
BUMP

Bardock42
Nio I didn't....and they were just cool...Antilles is great I wish they made comics aboot him...durge on the other hand is an ass.

SnakeEyes
Ya know what i thought was cool? When Durge wasted those 2 characters!

Bardock42
What the f**k? durge didn't waste both characters....only Antilles...which is bad enough....Fay gave her life to save Obi-Wan.

I am so happy that Durge will die happy

Maybe Antilles survived he was said to be dead before. yes

SnakeEyes
No, Antilles is definitely dead, and so is Durge now!

chilled monkey
I haven't read the comic, bu I'd say that Jango/Boba will lose this. Dirge is really tough. I'd say that killing him would require complete incineration to stop him regenerating. Or you could freeze him.

jackstain
Jango or Boba would take Durge by themselves.......Grievous vs durge is better, even though grievous would stomp him

SnakeEyes
I am not so sure about Jango and Boba being able to take Durge by themselves...

Darth Plagues
Obi-Wan struggled with Durge, because of his ability to rebuild himself. Clone Troopers even shot at him and failed to kill him, even though the Manilorian guys have skills...they may not win this one. Though I think Boba and Jango are alot cooler... cool

Bobafetty
Yes they are. And Dan is right. Jango or Boba could take durge out on their own without one another.
