Sinister Six vs. Rogues

Sinister Six vs. Rogues is a What-If? episode of Death Battle featuring the Rogues of DC Comics and the Sinister Six from Marvel Comics.

Interlude
Wiz: The Rogues Gallery of the Flash led by Captain Cold.

'''Boomstick: And the Sinister Six under the command of Doctor Octopus

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

Rogues
Wiz: Raised by an abusive father, Leonard Snart became a career criminal in his teens after meeting a fellow social outcast named Mick Rory. Though good friends, their opposing ideologies caused them to go their separate ways. Assembling a gang, Snart made a name for himself as one of Central City's Most Wanted. But things change when Snart and crew attempted to hijack an armored car to steal a rare diamond. What was supposed to be an easy heist fell apart when the Flash intervened.


 * Leonard Snart: Once the armored car called 911 we had 182 seconds before any cop could be on the scene. No one could get there fast enough to stop us. But something did.
 * Cronie: What the hell do you think the blur is, Snart?
 * Snart: This blur is a man. We're gonna have to up our game.

'''Boomstick: Through coincidence, Snart got his hands on a miniature cyclotron among stolen items from STAR Labs along with a thesis on a means to interfere with the Flash's speed. But the experimental weapon had an unexpected effect.'''


 * [Scene transitions to a museum robbery.]
 * Snart: Time for a test run. Let's see how fast you are.
 * [The gun fires a beam that completely freezes a security guard to death.]

Wiz: The gun is able to shoot out a beam of absolute zero cold that instantly freezes whatever it hits. This led to Snart, re-named Captain Cold, to become a solo act after a mutual parting of ways with his remaining men.


 * [Scene of Captain Cold fighting Flash before using his Absolute Zero attack.]

Wiz: While strong enough to hold his own against skilled foes barehanded, Snart has an genius intellect to plan for anything and a photographic memory. But what makes Snart Captain Cold is his Cold Gun, a thermodynamic weapon which fires a beam of absolute zero. While it can slow down a speedster at a molecular level, it would instantly kill a normal human being.

'''Boomstick: Both the light and the coldness of the beam are enough that Cold wears a specially make parka and snow goggles. This also plays to his advantage since his Cold Gun generates a Cold Field that upon activation can stop bullets in mid-air and freeze liquids.'''

Wiz: Cold is also one of the few people to know the Flash's identity as Barry Allen, using it as a continuous "get out of jail" card. But in this arrange between the two, despite keeping the Flash's identity to himself and showing to have the heart of a hero, old habits die hard and Cold can relapse at the drop of a hat.


 * Captain Cold: I'm a criminal and a liar and I hurt people and I rob them. What did you expect me to do? Not be what I am?

Wiz: But as Cold later decided to recruit a new gang using fellow enemies of the Flash on the basic principle of strength in numbers.

GROUP TALLY
 * Captain Cold:
 * Attack Potency and speed: Without his Cold Gun, Cold is strong enough to punch through a wall and move at Subsonic speeds. His Cold Gun's beam can negate conventional durability.
 * Strength: Strong enough to take out 10 armed men before they can blink.
 * Durability: Wall level.
 * Stamina: Average
 * Range: Standard melee range. Tens of meters with Cold Gun
 * Standard Equipment: Cold Gun, ice grenade, snow goggles
 * Intelligence: Skilled marksman and strategist.
 * Weakness: Normal human weaknesses.
 * Rank: Near-Superhuman (9-B), higher with arsenal

Sinister Six
Wiz: Born in Schenectady, New York under an abusive father and a over-caring mother, Doctor Otto Octavious pushed himself to use his mind and become the best person he could be. He graduated from college with top marks all around and put his newfound skills to work... as a Oscorp physicist with a dream to build a sustainable fusion reactor.


 * Octavius: Today...you will witness the birth of a new fusion-based energy source. Safe, renewable energy and cheap electricity for everyone. And now let me introduce my assistants.
 * [A harness is brought out as Octavius puts it on.]

Wiz: Inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, Octavius developed a set of artificially intelligent mechanical arms suited to maintain the reactor.


 * [An explosion occurs.]

'''Boomstick: Too bad it still all went wrong. Even more so since Octavius's refusal to cease the experiment cost him dearly more than losing his wife and Oscorp a lot of money.'''

Wiz: The incident heavily scarred Octavius, leaving him partially blind with his chest cavity crushed and the tentacle harness he built fused into his spine. But he was placed on life support and given new purpose by Osborn to oversee Oscorp's secret experiments, including constantly researching Spider-Man.


 * Octavius: Impressed, Mr Osborn?..
 * Norman Osborn: Very, Octavius. More than ever, I'm convinced Spider-Man is the key to military superiority. Once I replicate his abilities, I'll mark it an army of spider enhanced Super-Soldiers to the highest bidder.

Wiz: But it turned out the damage also effected Octavius's mind, turning him from a quiet man to a deranged psychopath with a god complex.

'''Boomstick: It's always the quiet ones. Eventually, nick-named Doctor Octopus, Octavius turned on Osborn when the chance presents itself after abducting Spiderman.'''


 * [Osborn was about to unmask Spider-Man when he is injected with the Oz Forumla.]
 * Dr. Octopus: I've just given you everything you ever wanted, Norman. Consider this my resignation.
 * Osborn: (struggling from the Oz Formula's effects) Otto... why? After all I've done for you?
 * Dr. Octopus: For me? For me?! You treated me like a slave! All you've done for me is give me pain!

'''Boomstick: Since then, Dr. Octopus became a free agent while acting on his numerous experiments. Including his dream.'''


 * Dr. Octopus: The power of the sun in my hand.

Wiz: One of Octavius's strengths is his intelligence, essentially a renaissance man in various fields of science from physics to robotics and genetics. But he is most recognized by his four mechanical arms.


 * [Scene of Spider-Man fighting Doctor Octopus.]

'''Boomstick: The harness made of a metallic material highly resistant to heat and magnetism. While it was originally a overgrown iron lung after the explosion, Ock condensed it for improved mobility and made later weaponized upgrades to it via nanotechnology. While rather portly, Doc Ock's genius and tech enables him to keep up with the likes of Spiderman and any other hero who crosses his path.'''

Wiz: Doctor Octopus ranks as one of the most intelligent criminals, having the reasoning to align himself with Hydra to use their resources for his purposes. His only flaws are his arrogance and inability to trust others. And yet, Doc Ock had the foresight to establish his own group of like-minded Spidey-haters.

GROUP TALLY
 * Doctor Octopus:
 * Attack Potency and speed: Ock's tentacles are able to thrash through a small town and propel him at Supersonic+ speeds.
 * Strength: Able to lift up anything around the size of a truck, Ock's tentacles can destroy multiple city blocks.
 * Durability: Physically, Ock is as weak as any human. But his tentacles are made of a material that are resistant against nuclear explosions, extreme heat, and magnetism.
 * Range: Several meters
 * Intelligence: Genius scientist
 * Weakness: Overwhelming arrogance, Normal human weaknesses.
 * Rank: Near-Superhuman (9-C) physically, Superhuman (8-A) with Tentacle arms.
