Darth Vader

"Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for... sister. So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her, too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the Dark Side... then perhaps she will..."

- Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker

Darth Vader, previously known as Anakin Skywalker, is one of the main antagonists, of the Star Wars original trilogy. He previously fought Doctor Doom in the 49th episode of Death Battle​, Darth Vader VS Doctor Doom.

History
Born Anakin Skywalker, Vader was a slave on Tatooine until a Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, freed him under the assumption he was the chosen one for the jedi order. Under the tutelage of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin would rise up to Jedi Knight, and was known as a great fighter and a skillful pilot. However, he was also viewed a bit arrogant, and had some temper issuse.

Anakin was also friends with Chancellor Palpetine, who would soon learn that he was a sith lord. Anakin soon found himself manipulated by him, until finally he was turned over to the dark side. He led Order 66 into killing all his jedi brethren, until he was confronted by Obi-Wan at Mustafar. After a long and brutal battle, Anakin lost both his legs and left arm, and was badly burned by the lava. His master soon found him, and was given cybernetic limbs, and a suit in order to be kept alive. Anakin was gone, and a new sith lord was born, Darth Vader.

Death Battle Info (Fanon)
'''Note: Because Star Wars has since been handed to Disney from George Lucas for several billions of dollars, the EU is now a sort of separate canon, now dubbed Legends. Darth Vader is far more powerful in every way if the Legends version is being used, and EU Vader should be able to use his Canon feats and abilities in addition to his Legends feats and abilities.'''

Background

 * Real Name: Anakin Skywalker
 * Height: 202 cm / 6'8"
 * Weight: 120 kg / 265 lbs
 * Occupation: Dark Lord of the Sith, formerly] Jedi Knight
 * Husband of Padme Amidala, Father of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo
 * Prosthetic Hands and Legs

Physical Abilities
Disney Canon / Both: EU / Legends Only:
 * Not only can he move much faster than what the eye can follow and see, he can even react and move at a respectable fraction of the speed of light (Sub Relativistic, with much faster Reactions, in addition to having kept up with Obi Wan, who is also Sub Relativistic. Both of them can react at Relativistic+ Speeds. Obi Wan, who was able to literally deflect a laser in transit in TCW (While the calc says that it's an MHS feat at the least, it's actually more likely to be a Relativistic+ feat, as the Laser behaved more like an actual laser))
 * Has little issue jumping or falling from very tall heights.
 * Despite his armor making him appear cumbersome and slow, he has grown used to the armor rather quickly.
 * Not only can he move much faster than what the eye can follow and see, he can even react and move at a respectable fraction of the speed of light (Relativistic+, with much faster Reactions, kept up with Obi Wan who should be superior reactions wise to a lower end Jedi, whose reactions were in the Mach 50000 range. Obi Wan and Anakin performed a maneuver that managed todestroy drones whose reflexes approached light speed). He is able to move so fast, he appears to be teleporting. He should also be able to outspeed droids, which have Rela+ to Lightspeed reactions. In addition, being comparable to Obi Wan, who was able to literally deflect a laser in transit in TCW (While the calc says that it's an MHS feat at the least, it's actually more likely to be a Relativistic+-Lightspeed feat, as the Laser behaved more like an actual laser)
 * One of the physically strongest Sith of his time.

Force Abilities
Note: His Destructive Capability with his Force abilities should be equal to his Defense with Force Abilities. Disney Canon / Both:
 * As a Former Jedi, Anakin possesses abilities present in both the light side of the force, and the dark side.
 * Highest recorded force sensitivity level of any Jedi before him
 * With the Force, one is able to amplify their own physique, giving a boost to durability, stamina, speed, physical strength, and more.


 * Force Choke: One of the most famous moves with the Dark Side of the Force. Darth Vader strangles the opponent using his force powers.
 * Force Crush: Vader uses the force to crush objects.
 * Force Scream: Force ability used to disorient and intimidate foes. A strong enough scream is able to damage physical objects.

 * Force Speed (rarely)
 * Force Barriers/Protection bubbles
 * Force Cloak (rarely)
 * Matter Manipulation (He is able to manipulate matter at the sub atomic level) (To activate the Holocron, it requires someone to make changes to it on the subatomic scale)
 * Telepathy: Able to probe knowledge from opponents, read them, and even invade their minds.

EU / Legends Only:

 * Superhuman strength
 * Inhuman resilience
 * Durability
 * He is able to drastically increase the range that his Force can reach through the "Distant Power"
 * Battlemind: A Force power that augments the user's fighting spirit and morale, and will to fight, which gives the user the drive to keep fighting, even in the most dire of conflicts. This ability can even overcome the disabilities of oncoming old age, as well as fading stamina.

 * As the Chosen One, his Force Abilities were already noticeable at an early age.
 * Navigated and won a podrace at age nine
 * Teammed up with Obi-Wan Kenobi to contend with many powerful Sith, including Asajj Ventress, Count Dooku, Savage Oppress and many others during the Clone Wars
 * Disarmed the Form VII: Vaapad master, Mace Windu

EU / Legends Only:
 * Killed The Son of Mortis, Count Dooku, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Durge, and many surviving Jedi after Order 66.
 * Surpassed Count Dooku, one of the most powerful Jedi ever produced

 * Is able to move at comparable speeds to Mace Windu when he was about to take down Sidious
 * Creates Force Barrier (calc) that deflects (and he also dodges a flurry of lasers) torpedoes
 * Defeated his former Padawan, Ahsoka Tano and his own son
 * Killed Darth Sidious, presumably the most powerful Sith Lord of all time

 * Darth Vader is one of the most powerful Sith Lords ever. A Sith Lord (Plagueis) of near comparable strength was able to alter the climate of an entire planet just by being there. His DC and Durability should scale to Multi-Continent , and as per Word of God, had around 20% of Darth Sidious' strength. Sidious being a person who is stated to be strongest Sith Lord ever multiple times, in addition to having ravaged planet surfaces and whole fleets.
 * Once slew multiple Jedi in the blink of an eye
 * Surpassed his previous peak in strength vastly.
 * Was able to withstand the violent and agonizing Force Lighting blows and Force Maelstroms of his apprentice Galen Marek and his clone, Starkiller, which severely damaged his cybernetics and breathing apparatus

 * Manages to bifucrate missiles inflight
 * Manages to handily overpower Celeste Morne, a Jedi Master
 * Is able to easily resist the influence of the Muur Talisman, which can turn most people, even force users, into zombie like monsters called "Rakghouls."

 * Wraps Asajj Ventress in Electric Wire
 * Withstood a storm of Force Lightning from Sidious, who, at his peak, was able to lay waste to the surfaces of entire planets and ravage whole starfleets, and slaughter Jedi with unparalleled speed, before finally dying from his wounds.

Faults

 * Dependence on Breathing Apparatus (Post-Suit)
 * Weakness to lightning or strong electrical discharges, as it could short circuit his armor. (He was eventually killed by Sidious' force lightning)

 * Somehow did not realize he had children for 22 years after they were born

Trivia

 * Darth Vader is the third Star Wars character to appear in DEATH BATTLE!. The first two being Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker.
 * He is the second Star Wars character to lose a DEATH BATTLE!, following Boba Fett
 * Darth Vader is the second non-DC character to lose to a Marvel character, the first being Raiden.
 * Despite this, a Spanish Versus Internet Show that's similar to Death Battle called Batalha Mortal (or Mortal Battle in English) actually states that Darth Vader would win against Dr. Doom due to the fact he can't counter Darth Vader's ability to mess up his organs by means of The Force (it should be pointed out that Batalha Mortal has done a strikingly number of VS fights that Death Battle has already done, all of those fights agree with the only exception of Darth Vader VS Dr Doom).
