Hugo Danner (Gladiator) vs. The Cullen Family (Twilight)

Everybody likes some vampire hunting here and now, and Hugo Danner is no different. He has been sent on a mission by his old friend Charlie Swan to hunt down a pack of sparkly ones that have been hounding his daughter. Hugo Danner understanding that a friend in a need is a friend indeed decides to take care of things for him.

How does one of the many inspirations for Superman handle this pack of predatory blood suckers? Can Hugo Danner put an end to their reign of terror?

Bloodlust: On

Knowledge: Charlie Swan has given Hugo Danner the rundown on what vampires in Twilight are capable of, and their weaknesses.

Preparation: Hugo Danner only has one hour of preparation.

Arena: The fight will happen in Forks, Washington.

Winning Condition: In order to win Hugo Danner must either incapacitate or kill The Cullen Family.

Canon: Composite for both. Which means everything is free to use. From either the books, comic book adaptations, or movies.

That's about the whole of it. Hugo Danner dusts off his copy of Vampire Hunting for Dummies, and gets started.

Danner got stopped by a cannon, he is stronger and slower. Durability probably about the same. Cullen kill him imo.

He is fast enough to escape bullets, able to lift many tons, tear trees out from their roots, and leap over a hundred yards into the air.

He is bullet-proof.

In terms of strength? His best feat was bending a vault door that was five feet worth of steel (in terms of thickness, the width of the door was seven feet). Which is impressive as steel has a tensile strength of 40000~60900 pounds per square inch.

He best jumping feat was when he leaped all the way to the top of the mountains of Colorado.

He is faster than any locomotive but besides also escaping bullets? He can cross distances of twenty miles in a few minutes. If it was just two minutes it would be 600 mph. If it was instead five minutes it would be 240 mph. Anything more than that really wouldn't fall under a "few" so I figure that's a good low to high end to use.

The finally there is his overall endurance. He was able to survive a direct hit from a shell that came from a howitzer. Then he proceeded to decimate the German front on his lonesome. After his best friend was murdered, and in his berserk fury forced them to retreat. If it wasn't for his stamina? He would have gone on to destroy Germany itself.

It was a howitzer, and it actually failed to kill him. Howitzer's can pierce through a dozen meters (forty feet) of solid concrete and earth. It only drew some blood. He does have a weakness against electricity though. As it was a lightning bolt that killed him in the end of the book. Though The Cullen Family can't do anything like control the weather so it's not really an option here.

Current U.S. military doctrine defines howitzers as any cannon artillery capable of both high-angle (45° to 90° elevation) and low-angle (0° to 45° elevation) fire; guns are defined as being only capable of low-angle fire (0° to 45° elevation); and mortars are defined as being only capable of high-angle fire (45° to 90 ).

poor guy got perma banned

Hugo Danner is likely one of the inspirations for Superman. But the Twi-Vamps would tear his ass apart, Edward could do it solo.

never said he got killed. He got stopped and recovered in the field Hospital before he went off on the boat. He loses. A Howitzer is a kind of Canon...

I know. I brought that up because the specific kind of cannon has a ludicrous amount of piercing power. A howitzer can rip through more than a dozen meters of solid concrete. It still failed to kill him, and didn't even knock him out. That was due to exhaustion after he decimated the German front. When he was trying to avenge Shayne.

Howitzers fire rounds weighing hundreds of pounds at speeds of 400 m/s like the Big Bertha for example in WWI. The KE of them would be more than enough to splatter Twilight vampires into bloody salsa. They're anti-tank guns.

No idea as to why either. The person who banned me gave no reason, and all I did was post a thread in the Movie Versus section.

Any actual feats for the Twilight vampires that match up to even half of the stuff I provided here?

He is indeed and they would indeed. I read Gladiator about 40 years ago. Don't know where my copy is now, I also have somewhere the Marvel 2 part adaptation.

No, you haven't. Since you just claimed it was a howitzer that knocked him out. When that failed to do anything except give him a glorified paper cut. He went on to decimate the German front before collapsing due to exhaustion. I literally posted the whole scene.

That doesn't help you at all here. Since that means you were lying instead.

New guy. Got banned after posting in the Movie Versus section. No explanation given. I just made a Dark City vs. Harry Potter thread.

mmm Broly I suspect, it would take someone who is a chambord ranger to not know a howitzer is a Canon. 😖hifty:

I never said it wasn't a cannon, and no I am not this Broly person. I was specifying the type of cannon because you obviously don't know that cannons come in all shapes, sizes, and overall yields. I am not even a fan of DBZ. I prefer Golgo 13, and the like.

Yes, Broly. They're in those five horrible films that make up The Twilight Saga. eg Edward has super fighting speed which makes him hard to see to the human eye, of which Hugo's sub 150mph running speed couldn't compete with. Eddy boy could also read Hugo's mind, allowing him to see what Hugo is planning before Hugo does it.

Then there's the rest of the Cullen clan...

Alright, let's see here:

1. You outright lied about the scene, and equated all cannons as the same thing in an attempt to undermine the feat. This is like saying a 9mm hangdun, and a Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr 13.2 x 92 mm anti-tank rifle are the same thing. And surviving a shot from either have the same significance. You also tried to say the Big Bertha knocked him out. And in an even more asinine manner tried to lecture me on what a cannon is. When you were equating all cannons as the same thing. Showing us all just how ignorant you are regarding them.

2. You claim to have read it but are contradicting what happens in the excerpts provided. Which would make you a liar, and a rather horrendous one at that. You would be better off claiming you didn't read it.
