Apocalypse vs Sebastian Shaw

They fight on the beach as shown in First Class. Who wins?

Apocalypse. Shaw's powers won't get through his forcefield. And Apocalypse can just phase his skull into the ground.

Agreed. Shaw's power is absorbing kinetic energy. Apoc's mental powers, and ability to rearrange atomic structures easily bypasses Shaw's defenses.

Yep Apoc has a lot more than just physical force. Remember how easily he killed those workers Eric wanted to kill? I didn't see any physical force involved there IIRC.

Plus remember how Shaw was shit scared of Xavier.

Apocalypse for the easy win.

How is Apoc mental powers going to hurt Shaw when Charles could barley control him?

It was because of Xavier's power that Shaw was easily killed by Erik, And remember, Charles was young and fairly untrained compared to his current and future iterations at that time. It wasn't until DOFP that Xavier got over a huge limitation of himself.

Shaw can resist Apoc TP, this would not even be hard for him.

Charles was at his most power in that movie. He was weaker in the second movie.

Ummm.... Not without the helmet he's not. Apoc is actually the better TP guy when fighting individual targets. Only Phoenix beats him out, because in the Psionic plane, Apoc was royally pushing in Xavier's shit.

Im saying Apocs TP would be shrugged off by Shaw.

Shaw is was more evil then Apoc and much more cunning.

Great theory.

How? Shaw wasn't that strong, psyonically, and he had some training from Emma frost, but he had no psychic abilities of his own.

And, how do you come to that conclusion? Shaw's goal was basically the same as Erik's became later, the rule of mutants. En Saban Nur is the Rule of the Strong. Mutant, human, or otherwise. Only the strong would find a way to survive Apocalypse. And, since Apoc had powers Shaw would onnly be able to wet dream about, he had the capacity of carrying out his threat without starting a war. Apoc was going to wipe the slate clean without sparking WW3.

He was extreamly strong, Xavier said so himself.

"He is extreamly strong, I dont know how long I can control him."

Mind you this is from the worlds strongest TP.

Not denying that at the time, Shaw probably was among the strongest Xavier ever tried to freeze. But, at the same time, Xavier was younger, less experienced and not as confident of his power back then.

Then, you have the lines he spoke when Apoc jacked him through Erik and Cerebro.

"I have never felt a power like this before!" he said as he looked like he was simultaneously pissing himself and having a heart attack.

Who was far weaker in the 1st movie. He's extremely more powerful now as in the movie it took everything he had to hold 2 guys still. In Apocalypse he froze at least an entire floor of the CIA quite casually.

I dont think Apoc can take over his mind. He could not even control this minions.

Much less Shaw.

Yes he is more powerful with cerebro, I never said he was not.

Lets stick to OP.

How is Apoc mind raping Shaw?

This isn't a fight at all. Apocalypse stomps.

But he did to an extent. He only lost control of them during the exchange when he was completely distracted. he was fending of no less than 5 full on assaults, which became 6, and 2 of them took place on the psionic plane. Kinda hard for anyone to expect someone of Apoc's telepathy, which is singularly focust, to maintain control during a TP onslaught by 2 of the series most powerful Telepaths.

The fact that Shaw was frozen at all by Xavier, while Apoc was resoundingly mentally beating the shit out of an older, wiser, more experienced, and more powerful version of the same dude instantly tells me who would win in a clash of the minds between Shaw and Apoc.
