From now on, whenever I post a CROSSOVER BATTLES article, I am pretty much taking two comic book characters from two different companies and pitting them against each other. I give a fair amount of info on both characters and the users vote as to who they think would win. I will post the winner on the seceding CROSSOVER BATTLES article (this is my first). I plan on doing one of these once a week. Why am I posting these? Well us fans are always debating on which of our favorite characters would beat the other in a fight, so I thought it would be a great idea for a regular series of articles that let the fans decide for themselves. I will make an effort to not make this just about DC vs Marvel character battles, and add other companies into the mix in the future but, for obvious reasons, a lot of these will probably be DC and Marvel. Shall we begin?
THE JOKER
Real name: UNKNOWN (Jack Napier?)
The Clown Prince of Crime and arch nemesis of the Dark Knight himself, the Joker is insane and he knows it. Oh and did I mention? He loves it. Nothing is below the Joker. This maniac has complete disregard for human life and has added many people close to the Caped Crusader to his lengthy body count. His origins are unknown, as well as his name, however it is likely he was connected to the Red Hood Gang. While he may have no superhuman abilities, Joker is no amateur when it comes to murder and is not to be underestimated. His arsenal of weaponry includes but is not limited to laughing gas, Joker Venom, exploding pies, knives, guns, and explosives.
GREEN GOBLIN:
Real name: Norman Osborn
Like the Joker, Gobby is out of his mind and has a body count of his own (most notable victims being Gwen Stacy and the original Ultimate Spiderman). Even when he's not the Goblin, Osborn is a corrupt businessman and mastermind, as well as a master of faking his death making him (Goblin or not) one of Spiderman's greatest enemies. Turned into an insane version of himself in a lab accident, the Green Goblin has some degree of super strength and increased speed/reflexes but mainly uses gadgetry such as his glider, stun gloves, pumpkin grenades and missiles. The Ultimate Goblin has abilities of his own but the 616 is more of a match for the Joker.
Let the voting begin!
UPDATE #2: Voting is now over. Who won? Find out tomorrow (January 17) when I post the results with the next battle in the same article.
