Designer Vs Characters fight, LET IT BEGIN!

I think we're all a bit tired of the usual two (or more) guys in a warehouse and they face off Movie Vs fights, so here's something different that requires a bit of creativity:

1) Pick an actor
2) Pick three characters this actor has portrayed in film
3) Pick two(only two) powers, abilities, feats, gear or skills to add to your fighters roster. ie if you pick Christopher Reeves and Superman as one character, you don't get all of Superman's abilities, pick invulnerability and flight or super-speed and heatray eyes etc.
4) All abilities, powers skills, gear or feats MUST be useful, ie Achilles' sexy looks doesn't count unless it can effectively turn the fight.
5) All weakness are taken, for all three characters. Similar ones stack, if applicable.
6) You get more "cool points" by being creative and making the opponent not easily "stomp" the opposition. ie the more equal in overall power your character is while still being able to pull a win is best.
7) Fights take place in a large abandoned military base, imagine lots of open spaces and large buidlings close to each other. You can change it to what you like, if need be, use descretion.

I'll start, try and make a character that can just barely best mine (or a following posters).

Patrick Stewart:

Xavier (Xmen)- Mutant mind control abilities(would not include mind-raping etc by default) and wheelchair.
Jean Luc Picard (Star Trek)- Phaser and tactical prowess.
Gurney Halleck (Dune) - Fighting skills and personal energy shield.

Of Note, Xavier's cripple status would be a weakness I take with me.

Gandalf needs to have two elements and "magic" as an all encompassing power isn't allowed, pick a magic power he used.

Having Death makes it a clear stomp against my character(see: Rule 6), so you win but get zero cool points sad

Creativity, sir.

Xavier had only the mind control aspect, not his "I destroy all with a thought." Your use of Magneto with helm (was a great move BTW) already countered my guys best ability, so Death was clear overkill. Should have used Richard III and taken his gun and evil cunning.

Ok, I've never seen that film, but I'll go with that suggestion.

Ian McKellen

1. Magneto (X-men) - Magnetism Manipulation and Helmet

2. Gandalf the White (LotR) - Summon Lightning and Shooting Fireworks in people's eye.

3. Richard III - his gun(lol) and evil cunning.

1)Pick a specific Force ability. Lightsabre skills and a lightsabre are two separate items, either or, not both unless you drop the Force power.

2) Pick a specific magical power and you need one more other marketable skill, feat, power, item etc. from that character.

3) Need two, I suggest the gun, if you choose gun skills as the first.

BTW, he can most likely kill you at long range with Magneto's powers if you pick a metal item, sabre or gun. Keep that in mind.

Force Abilities seems too wide to me.

Should probably be broken down to:

- "Seeing things before they happen"/ Fast Reflexes
- Force Telekinesis (including Push, Pull, Choke and Super Leaps)
- Force Lightning

If that's in response to Placidity's Magneto-Gandalf-Richard III character, your guys goes down quickly, for obvious reasons.

If it's to my Xavier-Picard-Gurney, he goes down via mind control and phaser fire.

To challenge your choices, sir, Hugh Jackman:

Wolverine (X-Men): Healing Factor and Mental Resistance. If his resistance wasn't shown in the movies, then Enhanced Reflexes.

Van Helsing (Van Helsing): Rapid-Fire Crossbow, Lycanthrope transformation

Robert Angier (The Prestige): Illusions, Tesla Clones

This is something of a test to see if I understand the rules and workings as well. I don't really expect this to be a win.

Not bad, I had the first two in mind. I probably would have went with....

- Healing Factor and Adamantium Claws

- Van Helsing - Skills and Lycanthrope Transformation

- Robert Angier (Clever third choice btw) - Tesla's Machine and skills


While a pretty cool combination, I don't think it could overcome Xavier's mind control. Wolvie does have telepathic resistance, but I don't think anyone would dare speculate that it is at Xavier's level.

Yeah, really the only obstacle I saw was Professor X. I know that comic Wolvie's got psychic scar tissue up the whazoo that makes him practically immune to telepathy, but I wasn't sure how much of that had carried over to the movies.

As for Van Helsing, he was pretty much the very next choice that popped into my head, and if I had really thought about it (not going to make changes now) I should have let him have Lycan form and healing factor, since they are technically two seperate abilities.

As for Angier, I'll admit while I had thought about it already, he was also something of an afterthought, as I wasn't sure what other movies of Hugh's I could utilize, but his unique abilities with sleight of hand and illusions, as well as the potential from the Tesla theories, made him what I though to be a viable choice.

John McClane for phenomenal Endurance, and luck.

David Dunn (Unbreakable dude).... Hes super, b*tches, and he seems to be nearly as invulnerable as McClane.

And Dr. Malcolm Crowe, the dead dude from Sixth Sense. The ability to not be seen by the most of the living sometimes would be an advantage defensively and offensively.





You're just shaking your self dry at the urinal, then BAM!
Willis snaps your neck suddenly and re-disappears..!

You're passing the gravy over to your nan as shes round on Boxing day.... BAM!!!!!!!
Willis materialises, pumps both you and your grandmother full of lead and disappears to safety again.

The possibilities are endless.

You followed the rules perfectly.

Wolverine's mind resistance wasn't really shown. But the illusions could potentially gimp Xavier's mind control, can't say for sure. Not a bad combo really, as you have an A-level healing factor and a great speed, agility and durability combo. Plus a potential army of clones, all casting illusions for further confusion.

This would be a good one versus the Magneto-Gandalf-Richard III or the Yu Law-Nameless-Emperor Han.
