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

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.

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.
 * Telekinesis: This is one of the more versatile components of Darth Vader's force arsenal. He is capable of pushing foes back, forming barriers with the force, disarming people, and even crushing the organs of the opponent.
 * Force Deflection
 * Force Healing
 * Precognition: Through the force, Darth Vader is able to see into the future. In battle, he is able to use it by predicting what his opponent will do next, and acting accordingly. This heavily augments his reactions.

 * 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.

 * 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.
 * Kinentite: A Variation of Force Lightning where the user throws a sphere of it. It can only be used in close proximity to a Kaiburr Crystal.
 * Pyrokinesis: As a young child, Anakin accidentally burned the insides of a man.
 * Enchanced Telepathy: In the EU, Vader's proficiency with Telepathy has grown to an extent that he is able to dominate the opponent's mind

 * Force Stun: Vader paralyzes the opponent, deadening their senses and perception.
 * Memory Manipulation

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

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).
 * Orson Welles was considered to be the voice of Vader; but was considered too recognizable since the actor was so famous.
