Apocalypse vs. Doomsday

Apocalypse vs. Doomsday is a What-If? episode of Death Battle featuring Apocalypse from the Marvel universe and Doomsday from the DC universe.

Interlude
Wiz: Monsters. Ancient horrors from the past that have been released in present day. While close to being god-like, they have been constant challenges to heroes.

'''Boomstick: And since summer's coming, we've got a blockbuster special for you all. Doomsday, beastly abomination and killer of Superman.'''

Wiz: And Apocalypse, the First Mutant and self-titled living god.

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills and find out who would win a Death Battle?

Apocalyse
Wiz: During the First Dynasty of Egypt, a child was left to die in the wilderness due to his blue skin. This infant, the first human born with the X gene, was found and raised by nomad leader known as Baal who saw great potential in the boy and named him En Sabah Nur. While the name means "Morning Light" in Arabic, "En Sabah Nur" is derived from a long dead language meaning "First One."

Boomstick: *snickers* Nerd.

Wiz: Any way, Sabah Nur ended up becoming a fugitive from the Pharaoh Rama-Tut, who sent his army to wipe out his tribe. But Sabah Nur escaped, using the alien technology his father found to augment his awakened powers and have his revenge. In the end, Rama-Tut is revealed to a time traveler and fled while Sabah Nur ruled Egypt for a few years before learning that he possesses immorality. With that knowledge, Sabah Nur traveled the world and instigated countless wars in order to find those like himself while fundamentally establishing various religions and human civilization itself.


 * Apocalyse: I've been called many things over many lifetimes: Ra, Krishna, Yahweh. I was there to spark and fan the flame of man's awakening, to spin the wheel of civilization.

Wiz: In time, Sabah Nur reversed-engineered the Celestials' technology and gradually turned himself into a biomechanical being that would come to be known as Apocalypse.

Boombstick: However, the gradual evolution have consequences on his body, the process left him open to be sealed away by those who justly feared Apocalypse's powers.

Wiz: And yet, being a psychic, Apocalyse was able to project his mind despite being in stasis for centuries with his loyal followers continuing under his indirect guidance. But when Apocalypse awakens in 1986 once his followers found his resting place and released him, he is disgusted to find out what the world has come to and decides to wipe the slate clean to start anew with an all-Mutant population.


 * Apocalyse: The old world passes away. Together, we shall forge a new one, in fire and blood.

Boomstick: But Apocalypse that face opposition in the X-Men and various groups and heroes.


 * Cable: The world won't stomach your evil forever!


 * Apocalypse: Evil? I am not malevolent. I simply AM! Which soon will be more than I can say for YOU!'

Wiz: Indeed, but Apocalypse is incredibly strong as he actually restrained the Hulk with one arm. He can even anticipate and keep up with the likes of Quicksilver, though he was sucker-punched by the speedster in their first encounter. Apocalypse's durability is even more impressive, able to take hits with less force that the Phoenix Force. And we didn't even cover his superpowers yet and he and ALOT of them!

Wiz: Originally, trained by Baal in Egypt in swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat, Sabah Nur's powers were enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance. But after augmenting his body with Celestial technology, Apocalypse's physical abilities were greatly enhanced far beyond their original capabilities. The technology also altered Apocalypse at a cellular level, giving him advanced psychic powers and the ability to manipulate molecular matter from increasing his own body mass or turning his arms to weapons to wiping out an entire city.


 * [Scene of Sydney being decimated]

Wiz: Apocalypse use his psychic powers to turn anyone into a loyal follower, increasing the powers of Mutants in league with him to serve him. The Four strongest followers become his emissaries: The Four Horsemen. Apocalypse even also encase himself or others in a teleportation bubble to move to any location on the planet.

Boomstick: Good one, Glinda

Wiz: Though Apocalypse has many powers, his healing can be limited at times may fail to save him. But regardless, he is one of the most powerful Mutants in the Marvel universe and for a VERY good reason.


 * Apocalypse: I am APOCALYPSE! Look upon the future, AND TREMBLE! All who oppose me... shall be crushed!

Doomsday
Wiz: Superman, Son of Krypton and Metropolis's match superhero. His unmatched power, along with his determination to do what’s right, set him as an inspiration for all mankind across the globe, both in the DC universe, and in ours. But his final moments would shake the very foundation of Earth.

'''Boomstick: Several millenia ago, the planet that would be known as Krypton was a deadly wasteland with alien monsters running rampant but the ancient Kryptonians were ahead of us in the field of cloning and gene therapy.

Wiz: Enter Bertron, who saw anicent Krypton’s extreme environment as the laboratory for his experiment: to create the ultimate life form. Using Kryptonian technology, he made a Kryptonian hybrid via in-vitro fertilization and-

'''Boomstick: Threw the thing into the wilderness, and surprise, surprise, it got killed within minutes. But instead of making another child from scratch, he gathered the remains and altered its genetic code to create a stronger clone.'''

Wiz: This process he repeated for many years: a new and modified clone created from the remains of the previous while spliced with the DNA of Krypton's most dangerous animals to make it stronger, durable, faster, and smarter. Until finally, Berton created a creature that was on the top of Krypton's food chain as it kill any being it deemed a threat and survived the harshest conditions the planet has to offer. The resulting being was everything Bertron wished for: Needing only nourishment from solar radiation and his physiology altering itself after exposure to a form of physical trauma for better resistance.

'''Boomstick: But the downside was that the current clone retained the genetic memory of its predecessors and, motivated by destructive instincts while lacking the means to distinguish friend from foe, utterly killed Bertron. After the fact that Berton had killed his creation's older siblings over ten thousand times, it a win against abusive fathers everywhere!'''

Wiz: But Doomsday, known on Krypton as "Berton's Curse", turned his bloodlust towards the Kryptonians themselves and sheer genocide followed. After the monster was contained at the cost of a thousand lives, the Kryptonian High Council outlawing the practice of cross breeding of Kryptonian hybrids, Doomsday was placed in a status pod to be sent into the Phantom Zone.

Boomstick: But things do not go as planned!

Wiz: Indeed, at the last second, Doomsday altered the pod's trajectory and it traveled through space until it eventually crash-landed on Earth, in an eerie echo to Superman despite predating his arrival.

'''Boomstick: And, as you all know, that’s when all Hell broke loose. Especially when Lex uses a Kryptonian Genesis Chamber to revive Doomsday and, being the egotist that he is, spliced a sample of his own blood into the creature's body.'''


 * [Doomsday emerging]
 * Superman: What have you done?
 * Lex Luthor: Ancient Kryptonian deformity! Blood of my blood! Born to destroy you... your doomsday.

''[Scene changes to the warzone Metropolis had become as Doomsday picks up Superman by the head and begins repeatedly punching the tired hero in the abdomen. Each punch is more brutal than the last, and one final blow causes blood to spray on to bystander Lois Lane's face.]

Wiz: The battle between Superman and Doomsday was epic, causing billions of dollars in property damage all across Metropolis while lasting for days. It was the first time since Darkseid that Superman fought a foe who truly matched him in strength without the leverage of kryptonite.


 * [Superman stabbing Doomsday with a Krytonite lance, the monster impaling him with his bony arm in his final conscious moments. The two then fall dead.]

'''Boomstick: And after this clash of gods is said and done, Superman and Doomsday went the way of King Arthur and Modred! But for these two, death is simply Kryptonian for "comatose" as Superman soon returns after making a recovery while Doomsday came back to life long after being jettisoned into space and subjected to the sun's rays. Doomsday became a plague upon the universe since. Even Darkseid, another all-powerful nemesis of Superman, is no match against Doomsday.'''

Wiz: Doomsday would return to menace Superman and his allies many times, each time more dangerous than the last thanks to his adaptive abilities allowing him to build a resistance whatever method the Justice League used to defeat him in the last encounter.


 * [Crash-landing to Stryker's island after being hit by a nuclear missile while in space, Doomsdays screams while bony projections rip through his shoulders]

Wiz: Being Krytonian in origin, Doomsday has tremendous and incalculable superhuman strength that gives him an edge in an one-on-one fight, able to move and react within seconds, and virtually invulnerable to any attack he developed a resistance towards. In the case of attacks he has yet to develop a defense against...


 * [Wonder Woman slices Doomsday's hand off and he starts to slowly grow a new spiky one.]

Boomstick: Doomsday also has a healing factor, like D-Pool.

Wiz: True. But the only difference is that Doomsday's regeneration occurs within seconds as any superficial lesion and mutilation is healed almost instantaneously. Same with growing new limbs. Combined with that afflicted part of his body covered with a bone-like structure, Doomsday is incredibly hard to defeat, even for the most powerful of opponents.

'''Boomstick: And being Kryptonian in origin, in conjunction with his use of photosynthesis, Doomsday is even more powerful than he was on Krypton due to the planet's yellow sun. He can generate tremendous energy from his body, either exploding it in a radius or focusing it into superheated torrents from his eyes and mouth that instantly obliterate several city blocks.


 * Batman: Oh-
 * ''[Doomsday fires his Heat Vision/Breath at Batman, with WonderWoman using her shield to block the blast.

Boomstick: Though Doomsday has no solid weakness, but he isn't very bright and he can be tricked easily.

Wiz: Even so, Doomsday is one of the most feared monsters in the entire DC Universe with good reason.

Boomstick: Always fear: Doomsday is here!


 * [Superman is about to fly off when the ground shakes. He nearly loses his footing and grabs on, then looks into the smoke and sees Doomsday standing.]
 * Doomsday: Superman! I’m here to kill you! Is this a bad time?

TALLY RESULTS
 * Attack Potency and speed: Able to wreck a large city, Doomsday moves at supersonic speeds. *Strength: Able to lift the likes of large pyramids, Doomsday's blows can deal enough force to level a mountain.
 * Durability: He can endure damage that could wipe out a large city.
 * Stamina: Virtually inexhaustible.
 * Range: Melee, several meters with heat vision, several hundreds of meters through energy pulses.
 * Intelligence: Low
 * Weaknesses: Very few
 * Rank: Nuke (High 7-B)

Pre Fight
Boomstick: We have analyzed the stats of our fighters.

Wiz: In terms of attack potency, striking strength, durability, intelligence, and numerous powers, Apocalypse has the advantage over Doomsday. But Doomsday excels Doomsday in speed, stamina, and evolving healing factor while both are equal in lifting strength. Regardless, anything can happen in a Death Battle. And now that the combatants are set....

Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
