The Rules: Each team will have it's positives and negatives to it. They have to guide you to Alcatraz while doing everything it takes to keep you alive. You have no combat experience, so you will be HEAVILY dependent on your team to keep you safe. You are in shape, but you are not an OLYMPIC athlete or anything nor in military shape. So keep in mind about fatigue and how you and your team will need rest and sleep. You may help your team scavenge for food, ammo, resources, ect ect. Characters are limited to their abilities, intelligence, and savy. The Xenomorphs DO NOT spill Acid Blood in this scenario. As it would just be to easy for everyone to die otherwise. The Demons are able to die in conventional ways as well as by the ways in Constantine. Obviously John will have an easier time with these than everyone else but might have a harder time putting down things like Xenomorphs. *NOTE* Neo is not The One in this scenario. He knows his martial arts, and he is proficient with weapons. Keep in mind that Xenomorphs can be out during day and night, as can the Zombies, and the Demons. The Vampires are only out at night.

So state what team you would choose to help guide you. State how you would make it, why you chose your team and if you think they all would indeed survive. What teams would be easiest? Which would be hardest to complete?

I think all teams have a good chance of making it. I'm not familiar with "Duke" though

Really? Keep in mind they have to cross the entire country and at some point they will have to rest, get more ammo, eat, ect ect. Duke is from GI Joe.

Hmmm...I guess I'd have to go with the first team Bourne and McClane. Both are proficient with ranged weapons and Bourne is a killing machine. While I'm not so familiar with the Bourne movies I know the John McClane is a beast and his survivability is amazing. The only other person on here to match him would be Marv, but Marv is to reckless and headstrong and would probably end up getting wrecked by a group of xenomorphs. With Bourne I've got someone who is great at not being seen and I've got McClane who is going to do everything he can to get me through this. I don't really remember what the constantine demons were like, but it seems like they were pretty badass and would pose the most trouble, but in the end I imagine the combined explosive power of both McClane and Bourne would destroy them. As they would most of the opponents, vampires would be a pretty big threat, but since they think like humans Bourne would be able to get us past them and most of the infected unnoticed I would imagine. Xenomorphs would be a ***** at night, movement would need to be kept to a minimum at night anyway, and while it would be better to have Bourne up all night watching for them we'd probably have to break it up into two shifts with him and mcclane wearing night vision goggles. Daytime really doesn't pose much problem for these two, I'm not sure what we would come across that would stop their power. We'd only be vulnerable at night, and even then they hold their own. Providing the cities still hold food we could send Bourne in recon style by himself to get food, I doubt he'd have a problem doing so. If anything brings down the team it's going to be xenomorphs at night. Otherwise I think we'd make it. The hardest team to get through I think would be either Selene and Rogue, due to Selene needing to drink blood and me being one of the only actual food sources left 😬 or Ash and Neo. Neo wasn't amazing before he was the one, he was still really good but I don't see Ash being much help, He'd be really useful for a few minutes then I think he'd spend his ammo, not to mention he's probably more concerned with himself than anything else.

^Err shit you're right about Selene. Well I'm making it like Blade, she gets 10 Packets of synthetic blood.

I'd go with selene and rouge on the postion that i could be turned and we could go rumaging through hospitals and with her senses she should be able to spot or smell the enemy before it gets close enough to kill. The daybreaker vampires are not enhanced in any way to my knowledge and without a food source as stated here they would be eating each other. Should that fail i default to Bourne and McClane for reasons stated above.

And nice choice. I kind of expected people to choose team 1, but ten again IDK cause of some things that might hinder them. But yes the Major cities and what not would have food I.E. things like boxed and canned goods. Bottled water ect ect. Fresh food unless you find it growing is pretty much gone.

i'd go with team 1 however rogue and selene ain't bad either

So far team 1 seems to be the choice huh? Why exactly?

Ash and Neo, no question.

Why?

Nice to see these type of threads again for a change.

I would pick Rogue and Selene.

I'm choosing this option without even really knowing who 'Rogue' is. I'm assuming its the one from X-men, but she *seems* kind of useless here even with weapons so thats why I'm not sure.

Either way, Selene is likely physically the strongest and fastest character available. She also has a healing factor, which means unlike most others (exception: Blade etc) she won't be out of the equation even if she does get wounded (which is highly likely considering this scenario is about frequently encountering enemies and long-term survival). Also, she is likely to be immune from Rage virus infections. Another benefit is that she will not be fatigued or lose focus which many of the other human candidates will be prone to and likely succumb to if the journey proves to be too long. In short, in terms of overall superhuman stats, she is unmatched.

Speaking of physical stats, she also has heightened senses and night vision (I'm aware some others have NV too, but theirs run on limited battery, and is obviously not as good in terms of clarity), which are vastly advantageous when trying to survive in such dangerous times. Selene would detect incoming enemies much earlier than the other human candidates would.

In addition, unlike most other options, in the event of firearms failure or simply running out of ammunition (which is not unlikely), Selene is still more than capable in dealing with the enemy unarmed or with melee weapons. Also, in the scenario that fleeing is the only option, Selene is the only one (arguably Blade too, but he is not as fast, I think Xenomorphs would likely beat him in a foot race) with sufficient strength, stamina and superspeed to carry me out to safety pronto.

Selene is also familiar with the supernatural, has centuries of experience in combat and varying skills, which I believe makes her well-equipped, physically and mentally to deal with the situation. Although I will concede that many of the other candidates are equally bad-ass and chores like killing zombies/demons will just be another day's work.

Also, since the mission is to ensure humanity's survival, procreation is also something to consider. The Rogue/Selene option is the only one that allows for it . Not only that, my offspring will have potential to carry the X-gene and together we will create a formidable homo-superior army in the long run (Despite Pyro saying males carry the X-gene, he is likely talking crap, since we know the Y chromosome doesn't carry shit and the fact that female mutants exist).

But the most important thing however - get ready for this - is that I'll get Selene to turn me (and my non-mutant offspring) into an elder-level vampire (or half-vampire maybe, since she's a day-walker/half-vampire immortal hybrid) and then I'll kick all sorts of ass myself. That and I get to bed her every night, which by itself is already a good reason to pick this option.

I'm confident there are many other reasons to pick Rogue/Selene, but I think the case has been sufficiently made.

Can't beat this broseph.

Oh and its too late to change the rules.

My name is "dadudemon" and I support this message.

Selene/Rogue combo makes for the best sexual options, as well (from a biological standpoint). That..and you get to have sex with Selene and Rogue. 🙂

The thing about Neo is that he's either IN the Matrix, or out of it. For example, if he's in it, he'd be able to god-mode since he's the chosen one and all that jazz. However, out of the Matrix, he's just soft, squishy Thomas Anderson, giving him the abilities of just an average joe.

Yeah. He still has his knowledge of weapons, but he cannot peform the "physical" feats he did before becoming the one.

Kaibs does say he's the "not the one" version.

I think this is supposed to be taken as the whole thread taking place in a custom "Matrix". This is pretty much where all threads take place: in customer matrix that allows all combatants powers to be activate.

How could anyone not choose Rogue and Selene?

You essentially have two Selenes. One Selene would be good enough. Best choice by far, imo. The runner up team would be Constantine and Marv.

Peak human Neo then, alrighty. I'd go with John and Marv. I do think that taking the acid blood out of the equation makes Marv a great tank. Assuming Neo and him can keep the zombies at bay, then it's do-able. I'm not really sure about the vampires, I haven't seen Daybreakers.

They're pretty crap if I remember correctly. Probably some of the lowest forms of Vampires I've seen.

Really? Do they have a weakness to sunlight? Anything else?

Yea weakness to sunlight and being staked.

You know what, I don't even recall them having superhuman stats. They couldn't see in the dark. Not your typical vampire, although they did drink blood, which I guess is a prerequisite. Simply put, they were noob bitches.
