You Vs Villains II

Started by Placidity14 pages

Personally, I would go for it. Only Scenario 4 would give me pause as it'd be quite a scary experience.

I'm not sure about Round 5. Could go either way, but because I have superhero courage, I would attempt it anyway.

Not sure about round 6 either, but I would be very confident about my defenses/durability.

Round 7 would actually be relatively easy IMO.

His clarification made further debate pointless, so I posted them as my response.

I wouldn't exactly call them "clarifications" more like additions to the stips. Stips are clear, "whereabouts" and "hunt her down".

Routine wasn't really part of the original stips.

You mean I can take a shotgun shot to the gut and still keep on trucking?

Hell yeah, that changes everything.

Does it? If you fail/miss, she'd probably shoot you in the head though.

😆

Haha, I was just playing when I said that, tbh.

Tho it DOES improve my chances quite a bit in case I DO get made but I still don't really fancy my chances much, like BW says:

Can you be both unaware and aware at the same time, Newjak?

Of course if you make your move and fail your anonymity is blown. However, until you make a move you're just Random Civilian X and Black Widow is not going to just magically know that you're an armed would be assassin by simply being in your presence which seems to be the case you're attempting to make (in spite of the OP).

I'm not talking magically knowing but she is a highly trained assassin with comic book training.

It's not magic. It means she will read you out of a thousand people as easily as she would the newspaper.

You will give yourself away long before you ever act.

You think you won't but you have no skills and definitely not comic book skills. Something will give you away. The way you look the way you act the fact she will probably spot a gun on you. It's not precog it's just what spies do in comics. They are trained to look at every detail of every situation and pick people out in comics easily from a crowd even if they aren't 'looking for it' cause in reality they always are.

Does she have eyes on the back of her head though?

Not to mention the fact the killing someone isn't really as easy as some people are making it. You're not "magically" gonna be in the same street as your mark, you're not "magically" gonna be able to peak thru your binoculars JUST as she's exiting her home and be fast enough with your rifle to re-acquire her before she gets out of your firing LOS. You need to be at the right place at the right time. If ppl think all you need is a face and an address to kill someone (especially someone who would no doubt have some sort of prep for such an eventuality) then they're in for a big surprise when it happens.

Scenario 1: sell the knives to get money for a cab, take the cab to a different city. Buy a mask. Rob a few gas stations with your gun. Use the money to buy hench men. Rob a bank. Hire The sinister six to do it for me.

There is an idea, I'll hire Deadpool...it should only cost a few chimichangas.

I love the out of the box thinking there!

Is that even possible to go thru all that iin seven days, tho?

It'd be a busy week lol.

One workable idea, IMO would be to steal a truck, load it up with fertilizer, park it in front of BW's apartment and detonate it, hoping she's home.

Then use the Batman stealth skills and resources you're rewarded with to get the f- out of town.

Lot's of collateral damage, tho. You wouldn't be much of a hero if you did it...

Hm.. with peak human Punisher-level stats and damage soak, why not rob a few gas stations, then join bare knuckle brawling competitions (that exclude superhumans, if such a thing even exists in this world), bet everything you got on yourself, make a bit of money, THEN hire some guys to off her?

Clear it.

2) you're not going to be on a perch with a rifle aimed out the window at all times

I can tell you now that no marksman is going to do what you just said, even just youtubing can get you the required results and its not with a muzzle out of a window.

I would take the job and it would be relatively easy but I would stop after the black adam fight.

Really anyone with half a brain could take someone out by surprise the goal is simply to keep that surprise until the objective is complete so don't run around thinking your a spy.

The last fight seems REALLY easy.
One of your powersets is Captain Marvels abilitiesx100.
You could easily beat those 4 heralds.

Yeah, if you clear 1, everything else looks kinda easy.

LOL, you get those abilities as a reward AFTER you complete the round. You only get the rewards you've previously earned up to that point.

So if you beat Round 6, you have the following to take on the Round 7/Final Round:

- Batman's Intellect
- Captain America's Skills, Abilities, Base Stats
- Superman's Courage
- Hulk's Healing Factor
- Colossus' Ability
- Magneto's Ability
- Hulk Durability
- Nightcrawler's Teleportation
- All of Martian Manhunter's stats/abilities.
- Black Bolt's stats/abilities
- Wonder Woman's stats/abilities
- Adamantium Skeleton + Claws

Still pretty easy, IMO, but I did expect opposition since everyone in the last round is held in high regard.

As you quoted part of what I said, is it safe to assume that you're talking to me?

I never said that it'd be with a muzzle out a window, in fact, I specifically said you're NOT going to be on a perch with a rifle....

So you're saying that any noob with a gun would be able to kill someone who's survived and quite possibly thrived as an assassin and spy in a world filled with super-powered villains as long as they get her name and location?

Well, you know what, believe what you want. I just happen to disagree.

And where did I say I was a spy??? In fact I made it abundantly clear that I was NOT. Are you reading my posts backwards or something?

Ohhh my B!
But still yeah, I like my chances there.

Between Teleporting and Yelling at the back of peoples heads(nightcrawler+Black Bolt)
And then Wonder Woman's fighting ability+Adamantium claws
