Drizzt Vs Elric

Stormbringer is one of the most overpowered, unfair swords in fiction.

Steals souls with a cut, vastly powering up the user, and can sentiently block/parry for the user. Can summon a swarm of sister swords to eviscerate anyone. Can counter/parry any magic spell/magic item.

This includes god level beings, such as the "lords of chaos" and the "lords of law".

The sword also happens to be:

1. Some kind of demon.

2. A manifestation of a central "black sword", which is far more evil then the gods that run around in-fighting.

Drizzt's good, but he has no answer to the black sword.

As if that isn't enough, Elric has a pact with Arioch, who himself can "nuke" any conventional threat. (And yet Arioch was among Lords who were defeated by Stormbringer, which is telling.)

Not only that, but once Elric regained the Swords of Chaos and Law, he was able to permanently end the battle between Gods -- and moreover, undo/balance the damage they had caused to all of creation:

...And the aforementioned damage was multiversal:

I'm curious, Galan. How would you compare Elric to say Dr. Strange?
In possession of his Blades, Elric is a multiversal force of creation/balance. He is abstract-esque, tbh.

Remove the Blades, and yeah, I'd probably put him around Strange's level.

Never read those comics. Just the novels.

They look different then the storie I've read, as Chaos and Law basically destroyed reality in their feud, and Elric used the last of his strength to sound a horn that "reset" reality, as he was fated to do.

Which meant his companion, Moonglum, needed to give Elric his soul, and threw himself on the blade.

After all that was done, poor Elric saw his sword fly in the air and impale him in the heart. 😉

I appreciate the attempt to do something new, but finding those who are versed in both may be difficult. Case in point, I know basically everything about Drizzt but nothing about Elric. So I can't assess the fight.

Well, i was going to put the characters in Superman and Thor's bodies to keep things status quo, but decided against it. 😉

But really, all the responses made for a great read. Thank you all!
