Beetlejuice vs Mr. Mxyzptlk is a What If? Death Battle by DBDoctor13. It sees Beetlejuice from the titular franchise of the same name fighting Mister Mxyzptlk from DC Comics in a battle between two god-like entities that share a joy for mischievous pranks at the expense of others.
Summary: It’s the battle of two supernatural reality-breakers with a passion for pranking humans. Will the Ghost with the Most defeat the Fifth Dimensional Imp? Or will Mxy have the last laugh on BJ?
INTRO[]
(Music: Wiz & Boomstick- Brandon Yates)
Boomstick: I think by now all of you out there should know that if I had reality-warping powers, things would be difficult for everyone.
Wiz: Horrifying notion aside, not all who posses powers over reality itself are noble individuals.
Boomstick: Betelgeuse; the afterlife’s leading bio-exorcist.
Wiz: And Mister Mxyzptlk; the 5th Dimensional Prankster Imp who enjoys pranking Superman.
Boomstick: He’s Wiz, and I’m Boomstick!
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skill to find out who would win a Death Battle!
BEETLEJUICE:[]
(Music: Travel Music by Danny Elfman from Beetlejuice [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack].)
Wiz: Barbara and Adam Maitland were a happy married couple living in a small New England Town.
Boomstick: So you know this is gonna end well.
(We see Barbara and Adam’s car fall off the bridge.)
(Music: Main Titles by Danny Elfman from Beetlejuice [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack].)
Wiz: The two were now dead and forced to haunt their home.
Boomstick: Doesn’t seem so bad… at least it wasn’t until the Deetzes moved in. See, even though Barbara and Adam were dead, this was still their home and they wanted to live there.
Wiz: Yet, they were quite literally recently deceased. They had no idea about how to use their newfound afterlife powers.
Boomstick: Fortunately, the most trustworthy guy came to answer their calls. A self-proclaim leading bio-exorcist of the afterlife simply known as Beetlejuice!
([Beetlejuice pops out of his coffin dressed in a raggedy old bellhop costume. He throws his hat off and laughs manically.] BEETLEJUICE: YEAH!)
Wiz: Fun fact; did you know the correct spelling of his name is Betelgeuse? Or that it’s named after the tenth brightest star in the night sky?
Boomstick: No, and we got plenty to go over now, so let’s get rolling.
Wiz: (Disheartened): Okay. Beetlejuice’s origins are unknown and vary depending on which medium you look at. But across all of them, he’s most definitely a spirit and one of the most powerful at that. He can warp reality, shape shift, possess people without having to phase into them, and bring inanimate objects to life. He can even open up doors to the afterlife or blip people to basically anywhere. However, he does require someone living to say his name three times in order to escape the afterlife. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to use his powers in the surrounding world around him.
Boomstick: Sounds kind of lame for someone so powerful. Wait, how come he could interact with the Maitland’s model before they said his name?!
(Wiz goes to open his mouth but then stops. He looks around admittedly confused.)
Wiz: I… don’t know.
Boomstick: Well, weird logic aside, Beetlejuice is one tough sunuvabitch. He’s strong enough to send two people flying through the Maitland’s house, launching them from the wooden floor after hitting it with two giant mallet hands. He can make people’s mouths fall out, and can possess multiple people to do an extremely well-choreographed dance routine! He’s even fought and survived multiple encounters with The Ghostbusters at Universal Studios Florida. Hell, at one point he convinced another franchise to abandon Ghostbusting for being a cover band.
Wiz: On that note, while the specter was in Florida he’s also managed to turn the original Universal Monsters including Dracula, The Wolfman, Frankenstein’s Monster, The Bride of Frankenstein’s Monster, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Mummy into his own rock band.
Boomstick: You know, all that talk of Florida reminds me of the time he swam from the ocean all the way to Florida! Taking into account that it would require 502 hours for a human to walk from New England to Florida, Beetlejuice managed to swim there in under 5 seconds! That would mean that Beetlejuice is capable of moving about 217,440 Miles per-second!
Wiz: That’s… actually correct, Boomstick!
Boomstick: PUDDING!!!
(Music: Showtime! by Danny Elfman from Beetlejuice [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack].)
Wiz: Aaaand we’re back to this. Honestly, this isn’t even the craziest thing Beetlejuice can do. He’s also capable to screaming so loud that it shook the entire galaxy. Which is an affront to science since nothing can be heard in the vacuum of space!
Boomstick: Afterlife powers, Wiz. He’s also fought a living constellation, dodged lazers, defeated building-sized monsters, and survived getting squished, electrocuted, burned, crumpled, and exploded. He’s also an expert con man who can manipulate things to his liking. Not to mention he’s quite the singer on Broadway!
Wiz: What?!
Boomstick: Yeah, check it out!
(BEETLEJUICE [Singing]: Go ahead and jump but that won’t stop him. Here you got a solid plan B option. I can bring your daddy so much pain. All you gotta do is say my name! Girl, just say it three times in a row, and you won’t believe how far I’ll go! I’m on the bench, but Coach – Just put me in the game! All you gotta do is say my name!)
Wiz: Wow… that’s actually impressive!
Boomstick: Y’know, I think if he weren’t such an asshole, he could’ve done a lot as a performer!
(Music: The Wedding by Danny Elfman from Beetlejuice [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack].)
Wiz: While the exact level of Beetlejuice’s power is seemingly limitless, he is not without his downfalls. He’s extremely immature and that has led to plenty of defeats. Like when he tried to force Lydia Deetzes to marry him and let him get distracted enough for Adam to run a miniature car into his foot and then have Barbara ride a sandworm down from space which swallowed him whole.
Boomstick: And then he ended up back in the afterlife where he was forced with the worst kind of hell imaginable; waiting for his number to be called in order to be processed. Still, if someone says his name three times, he can always be summoned back to the world of the living.
Wiz: But again, if someone were to say his name three times afterwards, that would mean that he would be sent back to his world and unable to interact until the next time someone says his name.
Boomstick: Again, it seems a little too convenient.
Wiz: Regardless, you should head the warnings of his former business boss, Juno and never under any circumstances speak his name three times. Because if you do, he will shake up the juice and see what kicks loose at the expense of your life and sanity.
(Boomstick looks excited as begins speaking.)
Boomstick: Beetlejuice… Beetlejuice… BE-
Wiz knocks him over the head before Boomstick can finish.
Wiz: He’ll be fine.
(BEETLEJUICE: YOU BUNCH OF LOOSERS! YOU’RE WORKING WITH A PROFESSIONAL HERE!!! [Knocks over a tree.] BEETLEJUICE: NICE FUCKING MODEL! [He grabs his crotch and squeezes it repeatedly complete with a bike horn sound.])
MR. MXYZPTLK:[]
(Music: World of Adventures by Chris Egan from Scoring Sessions Action Adventure 2426.)
Wiz: The DC Multiverse is home to a plethora of worlds. Even when their universe gets rebooted and reshuffled, there’s no shortage of worlds. There’s Earth -22 which birthed the horrific twisted villain known as The Batman who Laughs, Earth 0 home to Bizarro and his friends. However, there is a world that defies all explanation known simply as the 5th Dimension. It’s here that one of Superman’s most pestering foes resides. The annoying imp known as Mister Mxyzptlk!
([Mister Mxyzptlk appears before Clark Kent holding a comically large clock while dressed in a black suit with white ruffles.] MR. MXYZPTLK: I know who you are. Know all about the secret identity thing, but don’t worry! It doesn’t matter to me. Name’s Mxyzptlk! Mister Mxyzptlk.)
(Music: Gin Sling by Sam Wedgwood from Mutations 3323.)
Boomstick: Oh, he doesn’t seem so bad.
Wiz (Laughing): You say that now.
Boomstick: What’s that supposed to mean?!
Wiz: Nothing. Anyways, as a 5th Dimensional being, Mxyzptlk has the power to bend reality to his liking. A natural ability for anyone born in his dimension. But as time went on, Mxy found himself bored. There was really nothing left for him to do with all his power. Life became a drag for him. Until he heard of a hero in the 3rd dimension; an alien rocketed to Earth living among humanity as a citizen and a costumed hero known as Superman.
Boomstick: Inspired by Superman’s great feats, Mxyzptlk traveled to the 3rd dimension to pit wits against the Man of Steel. Even though he could basically turn him to ash or erase him from existence, Mxy thought that would be too boring and thus sought to become the biggest troll to the Man of Tomorrow. And I don’t mean by tweeting at him.
(Music: Hoodoo Mama by David Tobin from Live in New Orleans 3339.)
Wiz: Though a prankster, Mxyzptlk’s power is nothing to scoff at. The imp is a bit delusional in thinking that he is Superman’s best friend despite the Man of Steel blatantly telling him that is never the case, Mxyzptlk is considered one of the most powerful individuals in the DC Multiverse. He can materialize anything he wishes from thin air, animate inanimate objects, manipulate time and space to suit his liking, and can transform himself any way he likes.
Boomstick: The dude’s also super durable able to take a lot of punishment. He can keep up with Superman’s speed or just teleport instantaneously anywhere he wants!
Wiz: And as he is not bound by the laws of reality, he can even interact with writers and artists in our world.
Boomstick: Oh, dammit!
Wiz: Fortunately, his main focus happens to be specifically on Superman. Or Mxy’s partner; Miss Gsptlsnz.
Boomstick: Heloooooo, Nurse!
Wiz: More frightening than that is the fact that Mxyzptlk can easily turn off gravity and travel anywhere in the multiverse. Like when he fought fellow 5th-Dimensional Imp Bat-Mite and their battle resulted in the deaths of fourteen whole universes!
Boomstick: But after they had their laughs, they just put everything back the way it was and went about their day like nothing had happened.
Wiz: If we are to take this at face value, it’s possible that Mxyzptlk’s power is equal to or greater than 14 times the energy output that created the Big Bang! This is honestly not even his greatest feat as he once created 333 3rd-Dimensional worlds meaning the imp’s power should be even greater!
(Music: Charleston Slap by Tim Garland from Hollywood Swings! 3113.)
Boomstick: Oh, and remember the New 52 when DC Rebooted everything?! Yeah, Mxy helped put things right by manipulating events which led to the New 52 Canon being merged with the pre-Flashpoint Canon! But if he can just manipulate reality and break the 4th Wall, how come it took him that long to end the New 52?
Wiz: Well, it’s unknown but perhaps it’s because Mxy was occupied at the time.
Boomstick: What, like paying taxes, or being lazy?
Wiz: No, this is where things get interesting. According to Mxyzptlk, he is the only version of himself across multiple realities.
Boomstick: Say, what?!
Wiz: Basically, any variation of Mxyzptlk seen in Live Action, Animation, Comics, Games, even toys are essentially the same Mxyzptlk traveling from universe-to-universe.
Boomstick: Wow! So that means Mxyzptlk can be both Howie Mandell AND Gilbert Godfrey?!
Wiz: Yes.
Boomstick: Cool! Sounds like being Mxy would be a ton of fun!
Wiz: Not really. See, Mxyzptlk is powerful, but not unbeatable. His biggest flaw is his name. Should anyone get him to speak, spell, or otherwise reveal his name backwards, he will be banished back to the 5th Dimension and banned from Earth for a period of no less than 90 Days. And despite his omnipotence, Mxy has been tricked on a number of occasions such as the time when he was tricked by the Joker into granting the Clown Prince of Crime 99.9% of Mxyzptlk’s power. It was only through the aid of Superman and The Specter that Mxy was able to regain his powers. Also, his powers can be disrupted by super-powerful entities on a multiversal scale such as Zatanna’s Evil twin Annataz Arataz, Doctor Manhattan, and Superboy-Prime. Also, it appears that Mxyzptlk suffers from bipolar disorder which sometimes leads to him literally creating a duplicate of him to fight and take out his aggression upon.
Boomstick: Still, even after getting his ass kicked, Mxyzptlk always gets back up ready for more. But just remember, in the end he’s nothing more than a pest. And one who can be tricked easier than Wiz.
Wiz: Right. [Pause then looks angrily]. HEY!!!
(SUPERMAN: Oh, it’s you again, Mr. Kltpzyxm. MXYZPTLK: NOT KLTPZYXM!!! MXYZPTLK!!! Now, the first thing I’m gonna do is… [Mxy suddenly realizes he’s been tricked.] MXYZPTLK: Aw, nuts! [Mxyzptlk disappears.])
DEATH BATTLE[]
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let’s end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It’s time for a DEATH BATTTTLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
PRE-FIGHT:[]
Mr. Mxyzptlk is pacing back and forth in his house. Miss Gsptlsnz is seen lying on a nearby couch flipping through a magazine looking bored.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Got ta get Superman. Got ta get Superman. Got ta get Superman.
MISS GSPTLSNZ: Baby, you need to find another hobby.
Mr. Mxyzptlk’s head stretches so that he’s right in her face.
MR. MXYZPTLK: GOTTA GET SUPERMAN!
MISS GSPTLSNZ: Well, if it helps… (holds up a copy of The Guide to the Recently Deceased which has a bookmark in there) I think there’s someone in here who can help.
Mr. Mxyzptlk’s head stretches back looking at her.
MR. MXYZPTLK: THAT’S GREAT! (Kisses her cheek) Oh, baby! You’re the best!
His arms stretch as he takes the book leaving Gsptlsnz in her current position on the couch.
MISS GSPTLSNZ: Yeah. Ain’t I lucky?
Mxy opens the book and clears his throat before reading. He comes across a passage and stops giggling to himself as he begins to read dramatically.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Though I know I should be weary. Dare I summon something scary. Ghostly-hunting I turn loose. Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! BEETLEJUICE!
Mr. Mxyzptlk looks around.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Nothing happened?
(Music: Eciujelteeb! Eciujelteeb! Eciujelteeb!- Brandon Yates & Werewolf Therewolf)
Suddenly the ground shakes. Even Gsptlsnz looks worried as she gets up and moves close to him.
MR. MXYZPTLK: GSPTLY!!! WHAT’S GOING ON?!?
MISS GSPTLSNZ: I DON’T KNOW!!!
The ground splits open and a coffin rises up with the inscription of Beetleguse. The coffin begins shaking violently until it opens up revealing The Ghost with The Most casually sipping a straw from a water bottle looking very casual and unaware that he has been summoned.
BEETLEJUICE: And that is why I won’t do bird movies anymore, babe. I won’t. They make you do a double-take of you nude, and it’s completely unprofessional.
Beetlejuice turns and sees he’s now in Mxy’s home. He looks around awkwardly.
BEETLEJUICE: Oh… Uhhhh….
He throws a smoke pellet down and a giant smokescreen covers everything as he now rises up dramatically throwing his arms outwards.
BEETLEJUICE: YEAH! I’M BACK!
Mxy and Gsptly scream in horror and run away only for Beetlejuice to soar after them. He then appears and lands in front of the two.
BEETLEJUICE: MXY! Gsptly.
He grabs Gsptlsnz and leans her back before kissing her passionately. He then drops her as she starts spitting in disgust. Beetlejuice then grabs Mxyzptlk by his shoulders.
BEETLEJUICE: Be honest with me; do I have a shot at her?
MR. MXYZPTLK: HOLD IT!!! I SUMMONED YOU HERE FOR A REASON BUDDY!
BEETLEJUICE: Sure, sure! Of course. Business before pleasure.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Well, I have a few questions. For instance; what exactly are your qualifications?!
BEETLEJUICE: Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT!!! NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY!!! NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK?! You think I'm qualified?
MR. MXYZPTLK: Oh…okay. Yeah, I guess you’re qualified. I just need you to take care of Superman for me.
BEETLEJUICE: Sure, no problem. But I’m gonna need some payment in return.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Good. I can get you as much cash as you want.
BEETLEJUICE: Oh, hey. That’s really appreciated, but I’m not talking cash. I’m gonna need her in return.
He points over at Miss Gsptlsnz. Both she and Mr. Mxyzptlk look at Beetlejuice shocked.
BEETLEJUICE: Sorry, it’s not my rules. Come to think of it, I don’t have any rules. (Snorts) Look, in order for me to make my way back onto the Earthly dimensional plane, I gotta get married. Think of it as a marriage of inconvenience, you get rid of boy scout and I get hitched to the hottest woman since Bonnie Elizabeth Parker. (Snorts)
MR. MXYZPTLK: NO WAY! I’M SENDING YOU BACK TO THE CHEAP TAILOR WHO MADE YOUR OUTFIT!
He takes the book back and begins to read but it suddenly catches fire. Mxy screams in pain and holds his fingers.
BEETLEJUICE: Fraid I can’t let you do that, pal. I just got out and I have to stretch my legs. But tell ya what; you can go to hell in my place!
MR. MXYZPTLK: Oh, you asked for it, ya schmuck! I'm gonna shove yer head so far up yer ass, you'll be able to see the back of your own teeth!
FIGHT![]
Mxy shoots a giant wall of flame at Beetlejuice who just stands there with his arms wide open as the flames engulf him. Mxy looks happy and stops only to reveal BJ sitting on a lounge chair with a smoking cigar in his mouth. He also has sunglasses on and is holding a coconut drink in his left hand.
BEETLEJUICE: This is… I gotta say, this is great, pal. Thank you for this. Thanks a lot.
Beetlejuice takes off his shades and grins menacingly.
BEETLEJUICE: But now it’s time to turn on the juice and see what kicks loose!
He motions to the couches and other inanimate objects in the room.
BEETLEJUICE: Would ya?
Suddenly, the objects start animating. The couch becomes a dog-like creature, a plant becomes an Octopus-like abomination with the ferns becoming tentacles, and even the door pops out of the wall without leaving a hole, gaining arms and legs. The now-living objects attack Mxy who dodges left and right, firing magical blasts at them.
MR. MXYZPTLK: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! DISNEY?!
BEETLEJUICE: Hey, believe it or not, I got more imagination than them. And by extension you for that matter.
MR. MXYZPTLK: BULLSHIT! I GOT MORE IDEAS IN MY HEAD THAN IN THAT ROTTING BRAIN OF YOURS!!!
BEETLEJUICE: Prove it.
MR. MXYZPTLK: GLADLY!
Mxyzptlk turns over to Gsptlsnz.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Babe, you’d better get outta here.
MISS GSPTLSNZ: All right. But you kick his ass.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Oh, I intend to.
With that, Gsptlsnz disappears as Mxyzptlk tackles Beetlejuice and they fly through the wall. They keep flying into space, with Mr. Mxyzptlk now wearing a parody of the Superman costume from the DCEU only with an ‘M’ on his chest instead of an ‘S.’ He begins air-juggling Beetlejuice similar to how Superman did to General Zod in Man of Steel.
BEETLEJUICE (In-between getting punched): Somebody… likes it… rough!!!
Mxyzptlk punches Beetlejuice again in the nose as the scene does a Mortal Kombat X-Ray move showing BJ’s skull cracking and then suddenly reforming itself.
BEETLEJUICE: SAFEWORD! SAFEWORD!!!
Mxyzptlk: How’s this for a safeword, ya bum?!
Suddenly, Mxy punches Beetlejuice straight through the sky revealing a website page labeled ‘DEATH BATTLE FANON’ Mxyzptlk then flies over Beetlejuice and brings his fists together, knocking him down into a link labeled ‘Chuck Greene vs Lee Everett.’ Beetlejuice seems to phase through it like water as Mxyzptlk flies into the link leaving a similar effect.
BY ROADROLLERDIO (NOW MAVERICKHUNTERSILVERREBOOT)
Chuck smiled, running past Lee faster than he could see. Lee didn't notice that Chuck had just been to the Dark Bean place earlier to prepare a Quickstep drink, which he drank after his bike crashed. Lee was met by a fast barrage of punches, colliding with him at 100 miles per hour. This sent Lee flying to only a few feet away from the zombies, who began to kneel down to feast.
Chuck looked at his downed opponent, who pointed the shotgun at him.
"This is for Clementine, you motherfucker." Lee spluttered, blood flowing from his face.
Chuck responded by throwing a football at Lee. Lee fired the shotgun at Chuck, but his tired state made him miss completely, and he dropped the gun. Lee was surrounded by zombies as he caught the football.
"What's a football gonna..." Lee stuttered, only to be stopped by ticking noises.
Chuck looked back and smiled.
"I just tossed you a Hail Mary!" the biker quipped as he kept on walking.
However, something became very apparent after thirty seconds. There was no explosion whatsoever. Chuck turned back confused as Lee was now holding a poodle instead of the Football Explosive. Above them, the two survivors gasped as they saw two men floating above them. One was a midget with a purple suit and bowler hat while the other looked like a living corpse with crazy white hair and a black-and-white-pinstripe suit. The zombies suddenly took notice of this and began moving away from Lee and towards the strange foreign sounds. They were accustomed to hearing the normal sounds of humans, but these noises were unlike anything they’d heard before. If the survivors didn’t know any better, they could have sworn the zombies were actually interested in these two newcomers, whoever the hell they were.
“YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO PISS ME OFF, DON’T YOU?!” Mr. Mxyzptlk shouted.
“Yes, I do!” Beetlejuice cackled.
“HEY! HEY! HEY!” Chuck Greene called, getting the two beings’ attention.
“WHAT?!” They both screamed.
“What the hell happened to my bomb?!” Chuck ordered.
Beetlejuice looked rather annoyed. He just wanted to get this fight over with and then marry that smoking hot babe. The guy demanding his bomb also seemed to have the biggest pair of cojones for not instantly hightailing it out of here to the nearest mental asylum (though to be fair, perhaps they weren't in working order due to the zombie apocalypse of this word) and instead downright demanding things from him.
“Oh, you want it back?” Beetlejuice asked, “Sure thing, buddy. You can have it.”
Beetlejuice waved his hand and suddenly the football bomb appeared in Chuck Greene’s hand.
“What the fu-” Chuck began.
Before he could finish, the bomb went off, blowing Chuck Greene into a million pieces and scattering his body everywhere much to the bewilderment of Lee Everett.
“Anyone want to explain why we’re suddenly using past tense instead of present-tense?” Mr. Mxyzptlk asked.
“Screw that!” Beetlejuice declared, “I just want to know why suddenly we’re using quotations instead of dialogue directions. Better question, why is it those two guys can only speak in bold text?”
Suddenly, the zombies returned their attention to Lee and began moving towards him.
“SHIT!” Lee called, “THE WALKERS ARE COMING AROUND!”
“Don’t worry, bud.” Beetlejuice grinned, “It’s showtime!”
He pointed at the zombies as one reached out for Lee who was still a bit woozy from his fight with Chuck. He didn’t feel like he had enough energy left for a sprint away. He prayed that Clem would survive this nightmare without him, closing his eyes ready for the end. At that moment, just when Lee though he’d seen it all, the zombie did something unexpected.
It spoke.
“DAY O!” The Zombie shouted out.
Lee looked back confused.
“DAY O!” The Zombie repeated, “Daylight come and me wanna go home. Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day o! Daylight come and me wanna go home.”
“Are they… singing?!” Lee asked in disbelief.
“Work all night on a drink a rum!” One of the other zombies joined in.
“Daylight come and me wanna go home.” The remaining zombies sang as they all began to dance the calypso.
“Stack banana till the morning come!” The first zombie declared.
“Daylight come and me wanna go home.”
Ever since the Zombie Apocalypse began Lee had seen his fair share of crazy shit, but between his fight with Chuck Greene and now this, he was half-wondering if this was all a dream. Suddenly, he heard something from the maintenance clothing store and looked over to see Clementine in the window.
“CLEM!” Lee declared happily, reuniting with the girl he had been caring for.
“Well…” Beetlejuice declared, “My work here is done!”
With that, the Ghost with the Most disappeared.
“Better follow that jackass!” Mr. Mxyzptlk declared, but stopped to turn back to Lee, “Oh, and I’ll just take care of one last thing. Just because I don’t want anybody to get depressed that a Daddy just died.”
With that, Mxyzptlk snapped his fingers, but nothing seemed to happen.
“By the way,” The imp added, “When you find the Walkie Talkie in the penultimate chapter, stomp the ground in front of you repeatedly. Trust me. It’ll save your life.”
With that, the 5th Dimensional Imp disappeared as Lee and Clementine used the opportunity created by the now-dancing-and-singing zombies to get away from Fortune City. However, a thought suddenly occurred to Lee.
“Wait.” Lee realized, “What did he mean by stomping the ground in front of me in the penultimate episode?”
Lee and Clem heard a cackling noise and then took notice of a transceiver on the ground a few feet away from where the remains of Chuck were strewn about. Lee picked it up and pressed the button to communicate with whoever it was on the other line.
“Chuck?!” A female voice asked, “It’s Stacey! You ran out of time to get the Zombrex…and yet… I can’t believe I’m saying this but… Katey’s cured. She hasn’t changed, and is showing no symptoms of being infected.”
Lee looked shocked. Someone had actually been cured after being bitten.
“Chuck?!” Stacey’s voice called, “Hello?”
BY PROFESSOR MEWTWO
As Yuffie gets close, a large burst of air comes out of Clima-Tact and sends Yuffie flying into a nearby building. Yuffie is barley given time to recover as a swarm of bubbles filled with dark clouds surround her. The bubbles pop and release a massive electrical attack on the ninja, but the attack failed to take down Yuffie who simple held up her shuriken as a green glow began to surround it.
Yuffie: Try and shock me will you, well two can play that game.
Yuffie fires a series of lighting at her opponent, but Nami charges up electricity in Clima-Tact and deflects every single bolt. Nami retaliates by producing a chain of dark clouds from her staff and swinging it at Yuffie only for the ninja to dodge with a backflip and launch a fireball at the pirate.
Nami: What the-
The fireball hits Nami directly and knocks her over. Nami gets up and sees Yuffie charging right towards her. Quickly grabbing Clima-Tact, Nami points the staff at the ninja and prepares to counterattack.
Nami: You need to cool down. Weather Egg!
Suddenly a small egg launches from Nami’s staff and flies into the air. Upon hatching, the egg unleashes a huge storm cloud that starts spewing out a massive snow storm. Yuffie continues to charge, but she suddenly disappears in the massive snow storm and Nami begins to believe that her opponent has frozen to death.
Yuffie: Nice try, but nothing can stop the great defender of Wutai!
Yuffie emerges from the snow storm unharmed thanks to her Minerva Band which surprises Nami. The ninja then uses her Materia to launch her own ice attack at the pirate. Nami manages to dodge the ice attack, but is suddenly hit by a giant shuriken that launches her in midair. However, Nami manages to land on her feet and prepares to use another attack.
At that second however, the two are interrupted by a sudden flash of lightning which causes the two to take a step back.
Yuffie: What the-?!
The two look up above to see a short man in a purple long-sleve shirt, black pants, and boots with pointy ears fighting against a man with pale white skin and crazy white hair dressed in a white long-sleeve shirt, black pants, and boots. They both have a weird triangle-like shape insignia on their shirts except the short man has one with an ‘M’ in it, and the pale guy has one with a ‘B’ in it. The two are fighting with long poles that have an axe blade at the top. A strange tune that sounds like something out of the 1960’s starts playing.
BEETLEJUICE: Well, at least we’re back to proper tense and structure.
MR. MXYZPTLK: EXCEPT FOR SOME REASON, THESE TWO AREN’T DOING ANYTHING TO HELP! HERE, LET ME TRY SOMETHING!
Mr. Mxyzptlk snaps his fingers and suddenly Yuffie is surrounded by a puff of smoke. When she emerges, Yuffie is now ridiculously buff like she has been pumping iron since birth. Her upper torso looks like something out of Rob Liefeld’s Youngblood Male Over-Muscular Figures from the early 90’s, while her lower body still retains its feminine shape somehow. Yuffie is also wearing a different costume consisting of a blue long-sleeve shirt with a red triangle pointing downwards in the center with a red ‘Y’ within the triangle while everything else within the triangle is yellow. She also wears a red skirt and red boots now.
Yuffie: Aw, yeah! I feel more powerful than ever!
Nami tries hitting Yuffie with her electricity but Yuffie just laughs as it harmlessly bounces off her body like nothing.
Yuffie: Faster than a Hardy-Daytona!
Nami tries upping her power, but Yuffie zips past her with superhuman speed and gets Nami in a chokehold.
Yuffie: More powerful than a Bizarro-Sephiroth!
Nami: Wha-?!
Before she can finish, Yuffie snaps her neck a full 360 Degrees as Nami falls to the ground dead.
Yuffie: It’s… Super-Yuffie!
Beetlejuice is seen tugging at his clothes as though he means to rip them off, only to look disappointed that this new ending has gone too quickly.
BEETLEJUICE: Oh, goddamit! Could you have not drawn it out for another hour-and-a-half?!
Yuffie responds by punching him in the face, causing his face to go inward.
Yuffie: I don’t know who you two are, but I’m betting that you’re both responsible for bringing that woman here!
MR. MXYZPTLK: Now wait just a second! It’s not us you want! It’s ProfessorMew-
Mxy is interrupted when Yuffie kicks him straight in the groin causing Mxy’s eyes to go wide and send him flying into the air screaming like a little girl. Meanwhile, Bettlejuice pulls his face out and dusts himself down. Yuffie goes to strike Beetlejuice again, but the Bio-Exorcist stops her dead in her tracks.
BEETLEJUICE: Is this what you want?
Suddenly, Yuffie starts singing and dancing on her own while pantomiming the words to her song.
Yuffie: Yo, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want.
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want.
I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want.
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want.
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah!
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends!
Make it last forever, friendship never ends!
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give!
Taking is too easy, but that’s the way it is!
Mxy takes this opportunity to tackle Beetlejuice, knocking him into the air until they break the sky and fly out of the battle. Yuffie stops her dance and looks around.
Yuffie: That was weird. (Beat) Ah well, free power upgrade for me!
Elsewhere, the two ultra-powerful beings are still fighting on the Fanon Wiki, throwing lightning fast punches at each other. Mxy looks determined as sweats pours down from him like a monsoon while Beetlejuice takes a baseball cap from his pocket and wipes his forehead. The two stop and rub their hands from the friction. Beetlejuice lunges at Mxyzptlk until the imp roundhouse kicks him in the chest. He then grabs the mouse and wraps it around Beetlejuice.
MR. MXYZPTLK: HA-HA! You’re in trouble now, deadbeat!
Mxyzptlk jumps up to the search page and takes out a large pen. He then begins writing ‘BRIGHTBURN VS HOMELANDER’ in there.
MR. MXYZPTLK (Laughing Maniacally): Oh yes! Yes! YES! You’re in trouble now, you schmuck! I’m gonna annihilate you! These two are OUT OF THEIR GODDAMN MINDS AND WILL ENJOY KILLING YOU OVER AND OVER!
Beetlejuice manages to get his hand free and snaps his finger just as Mxy hits search. Suddenly the Wiki Page switches revealing that the fight is no longer available much to Mxy’s anger.
MR. MXYZPTLK: NUTS!!!! NUTS!!!! NUTS!!!!
BEETLEJUICE: Oh, Mxy?
Mxy turns around and gasps. Beetlejuice has switched things to now read ‘KLTPZYXM’ everywhere. Beetlejuice has also changed his appearance to mimic Danny Torrance from The Shining.
BEETLEJUICE (Moaning): Kltpzyxm… Kltpzyxm… Kltpzyxm!
Mxyzptlk looks around horrified but then a lightbulb appears over his head.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Hold that thought, friend!
He disappears. Mxy appears over the main DC Universe and whips out a phone which he uses to text Gsptlsnz. We see a popup of his text which reads ‘HEY, BABE! YOU MIGHT WANT TO STEER CLEAR OF OUR UNIVERSE! WE’RE ABOUT TO HAVE A TOTAL WIPEOUT!!!’ A reply pops up reading ‘SURE THING, BABE!’ Mxy then pulls out a giant nuke reading ‘BIG BANG BOMB BUSTER ANTI-MATTER BOMB.’ On the side is a sticker which reads 'SERIOUSLY, WHY WOULD YOU EVEN?!' Mxyzptlk is about to toss the bomb when he hears a voice.
???: MISTER MXYZPTLK!!!
The 5th Dimensional Imp turns around to see The Specter floating above him angrily.
THE SPECTER: You have changed the fates of multiple universes! I now must take action to prevent you from wiping out…
He’s cut off when Mxyzptlk turns into Rambo and begins firing a machine gun which instantly rips through The Specter. God’s vengeance kneels over dead as his blood floats there in space. Mxy eventually stops and goes back to his bomb.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Sorry, Specter. But Fish gotta swim, and birds gotta fly, AND I GOTTA GET RID OF THAT GODDAMN ROTTING CORPSE!!!
With that, he sets off the nuke which destroys the DC Universe we see other realms getting destroyed as a result including the Phantom Zone, Trigon’s Dimension, and finally the 5th Dimension. Mxyzptlk grins and returns to the fight.
MR. MXYZPTLK: So, while you were doing that, I managed to erase my own dimension from existence. So now I can say KLTPZYXM! AND NOT BE RETURNED TO MY OWN DIMENSION!!!
BETLEJUICE: Wow, I’m impressed. So what about your girlfriend?
MR. MXYZPTLK: Oh, she’s somewhere around the Wiki, I’m sure.
BEETLEJUICE: Interesting… Well, in that case!
Suddenly, an iron maiden slams shut, trapping Mxy inside. Beetlejuice then takes out a number of chains and locks, wrapping them around the iron maiden. Beetlejuice then turns into Mxy and calls out.
BEETLEJUICE (AS MR. MXYZPTLK): Yoo-Hoo! Gsptlsnz! Where are yooooou?
Gsptlsnz suddenly reappears looking happily at the masquerading ghost, believing him to be Mxyzptlk.
MISS GSPTLSNZ: Oh, baby!
She hugs him tightly.
MISS GSPTLSNZ: Did you win?
BEETLEJUICE (AS MR. MXYZPTLK): Oh, you’d better believe it, doll. I kicked his ass completely!
MISS GSPTLSNZ: Good.
Suddenly, Gsptlsnz looks down realizing she’s wearing a red bridal gown similar to the one Lydia wore at the end of Betlejuice. BJ has also reverted back to his original form and is now wearing his tux from the end of the movie.
BEETLEJUICE: FOOLED YOU!!!
Beetlejuice then turns the header of the wiki into an archway as a bug priest appears through it. Beetlejuice moves over with Gsptlsnz.
BEETLEJUICE: Okay, let’s go! Time to get this show on the road!
PRIEST: Do you, Beetle-
BEETLEJUICE (Interrupting): Oh! Hey! Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Nobody says the ‘B’ word, pal!
Gsptlsnz’s eyes widen at the comment Beetlejuice made. She then concentrates. Inside the iron maiden, a note appears before Mxyzptlk as he is trying to push open his prison. He looks at the note which reads ‘MXY, YOU NEED TO SAY HIS NAME THREE TIMES! -G’ Mxyzptlk takes a deep breath.
MR. MXYZPTLK: BEETLEJUICE! BEETLEJUICE! BEETLEJUICE!!!
Nothing happens.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Okay… WHAT THE HELL?!
Suddenly, the scene transitions to a young man typing away at his laptop. The young man stops.
DBDOCTOR13: Waitaminute. Why am I writing this?!
Suddenly, he is hit from behind with a boxing glove. He turns around to see the 5th Dimensional Imp standing before him. Mxyzptlk grabs DBDoctor13 by his shirt and pulls him up so they’re looking at each other directly in the eye.
MR. MXYZPTLK: OKAY, WISE GUY!!! WHY THE HELL DIDN’T IT WORK?!
DBDOCTOR13: The… the iron maiden is soundproof! It doesn’t work while you're in there.
MR. MXYZPTLK: THEN TELL ME HOW I GET OUT!!!
DBDOCTOR13: I… uh… I kinda wrote myself into a corner on this one…
MR. MXYZPTLK: THEN MAKE SOMETHING UP!!!
DBDOCTOR13: Okay! Okay! I’ll do it! Just don’t hurt me! I’m not supposed to even be in this continuity!
MR. MXYZPTLK (Calmer): Much obliged. I’d kiss ya, but you’re already dealing with a pandemic, so I’ll let you be.
Mxyzptlk disappears. We cut back over to the wedding.
PRIEST: Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?
BEETLEJUICE (Side-stepping to talk to himself): Oh, jeez. That’s a big decision, isn’t it? I always said if I was going to do it, it’d be one, and that’d be that.
He rejoins Gsptlsnz.
BEETLEJUICE: Sure.
PRIEST: And you, Gsptlsnz. Do you…
MISS GSPTLSNZ (Screaming): NO! BEETLE-
Beetlejuice covers her mouth and laughs.
BEETLEJUICE: Uh, she’s a bit nervous. Maybe I should speak for her. (Imitating Gsptlsnz) I’m Miss Gsptlsnz, and I’m of sound mind. The man next to me is the one I want. You asked me, I’m answering. Yes, I love that man of mine. (Back to his normal voice) Okay, let’s go.
Behind him, a chainsaw suddenly slices through the Iron Maiden and quickly creates a hole which then bursts open as Mxyzptlk flies through looking angirly.
MR. MXYZPTLK: Beetle-
Beetlejuice snaps his fingers as Mxy’s teeth fall out of his mouth.
BEETLEJUICE (Impatiently): Let’s get going now, Rev.
Suddenly, Mxyzptlk’s teeth grow legs and googly eyeballs.
MR. MXYZPTLK’S TEETH: Beetle-
Beetlejuice starts tap-dancing across the floor trying to squash the teeth until he finally kicks them away.
BEETLEJUICE (Screaming): SCRAM!!!!
Beetlejuice runs back to the priest, loosing his patience.
BEETLEJUICE: C’MON!!!
Mxy grabs his teeth and puts them back in.
MR. MXYZPTLK: BEETLEJUICE!
Beetlejuice shrieks like a little girl and makes a hand motion erasing Mr. Mxyzptlk’s mouth entirely. Mxy can only make mumbling noises, unable to speak any words.
BEETLEJUICE (Snickering): Strike! (To the Priest) C’MON, REV, LET’S WRAP THIS UP!!!
PRIEST: Then the ring please…
BEETLEJUICE (Freaking out): The Ring! UUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Beetlejuice starts rifling through his pockets pulling out things such as snakes, condoms, funny glasses, bones, knives, hacksaws, organs, etc.
BEETLEJUICE (To Gsptlsnz): It’s okay, baby. I got it here.
Mxyzptlk suddenly gets an idea and starts rifling through his pockets as well pulling out things such as Superman #30 (Mxy’s first appearance), anvils, different colored Kryptonite, a comical hammer, a whoopie cushion, and finally fishes out a phone and begins typing into it. Back with Beetlejuice, he’s managed to finally get the wedding ring which is still attached to a severed female finger.
BEETLEJUICE: There it is! (To Gsptlsnz) I swear, baby! She meant NOTHIN’ to me. NOTHIN’ at all.
PRIEST: Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you…
Siri is heard as everyone stops what they’re doing.
SIRI: I’m sorry. I don’t understand. What is ‘Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice?’
Beetlejuice’s eyes widen with horror as he hears the words and then looks extremely pissed off.
BEETLEJUICE: OH YOU STUPID MOTHERFU-!!!
He’s cut off as he disappears in a puff of smoke. The priest looks around embarrassed.
PRIEST: Well… this is awkward.
The priest also disappears in a puff of smoke. We cut over to the Maitland’s miniature model as Beetlejuice looks up angrily.
BEETLEJUICE: YOU LOSER!!! YOU WERE WORKING WITH A PROFESSIONAL HERE!!!
MR. MXYZPTLK: Oh, you think you’re a professional?!
A giant Mr. Mxyzptlk appears over the model and begins folding it up.
BEETLEJUICE (Worried): Hey, no! No! Stop! Look, we can work it out! I can pester boy scout for you! I’m telling ya! You’re making a big mistake! Hey! Stop!
But it’s too late as Mxy crushes Beetlejuice within the model. The imp then continues to roll the model every-which-way. Mxyzptlk throws the crumpled model into the sky and then points a finger at the crushed model disintegrating it as Gsptlsnz appears next to him.
MISS GSPTLSNZ: So he’s dead?
MR. MXYZPTLK: He’s super dead, babe! It’ll be a while before he can come back!
MISS GSPTLSNZ: Sorry I invited that guy into our dimension…
MR. MXYZPTLK: Don’t sweat it, babe! At least I know there’s power in the multiverse equal to ours, speaking of…
Mxyzptlk snaps his fingers and suddenly he and Gsptlsnz are back in their own home and the DC universe is now fully restored.
MR. MXYZPTLK: I think we’re going to need to take a holiday though. If there was one thing that corpse knew Jack about it was music. So…
Mxy makes a record player appear which begins playing Jump in the Line (Shake, Senora) by Harry Belafonte. Mxyzptlk and Gsptlsnz start dancing to the song as the furniture starts rocking back and forth in-synch to the song.
MR. MXYZPTLK (Singing as Harry Belafonte): Shake, shake, shake, senora! Shake your body line! Shake, shake, shake, senora! Shake it all the time! Work, work, work, senora! Work your body line! Work, work, work, senora! Work it all the time! (Jump in de line, rock your body in time)- OK, I believe you!
We cut over to the Afterlife Waiting Room where we see Beetlejuice running his hand up Captain Marvel’s leg from the ending of Captain Marvel vs Shazam. Next to him is Captain Marvel from the ending of Android 18 vs Captain Marvel reading her copy of The Guide to the Recently Deceased despite having her head smashed in and basically mush. She notices Beetlejuice’s lewd attempts to her other self’s foot and smacks him with the book much to the Bio-Exorcist’s shock.
BEETLEJUICE: HEY!
Beetlejuice walks over and sits down next to a very squished Cable, a deflated Doctor Strange, and a headless Hulk. Also in the Afterlife waiting room are Lex Luthor, Twilight Sparkle, Jin, and Ganondorf, all sustaining their injuries from their Death Battles.
BEETLEJUICE (To Cable): Women, right? I can’t understand them myself. Y’know-
Beetlejuice notices he’s not getting anywhere and rolls his eyes. He looks at the ticket in his hand which reads 4,987,212,469. Beetlejuice glances at the serving sign which is currently on three. He groans but then sees that Doctor Strange’s number is four. He gets and idea and coughs, getting the good doctor to notice him.
BEETLEJUICE: Pardon me. (Gestures to Cable) You do that? It’s impressive. Let me ask you, how do you- (looking away and pointing) Hey! There goes Ruth Bader Ginsburg! YO! RBG!
Doctor Strange looks outwards as Beetlejuice swaps tickets. He sits back comfortably.
BEETLEJUICE: Well, looks like I’m next! (To Cable) Good thing too. I got a meeting with Tim Burton in about an hour.
Doctor Strange looks at his new ticket and then back at Beetlejuice angrily as he begins making a gesture towards the specter.
BEETLEJUICE: Yeah, Timmy’s been trying to get that Hawaiian project off the ground for a while now, I don’t…
Suddenly, Beetlejuice’s eyes widen as he begins getting compressed.
BEETLEJUICE: Hey, stop it! Stop it! You’re making me loose my muscle mass! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Finally, Beetlejuice looks like a cardboard cutout.
BEETLEJUICE: Hey, this might be a good look for me.
Back with Mxyzptlk and Gsptlsnz continuing the song and dance, the spirits of Harry Potter, Goku, Red & Charizard, Sam Fisher, and All-Might appear and sway back and forth along with the song.
K.O.![]
ANNOUNCER: K.O.!
RESULTS[]
Boomstick (Surprised): Wow! That was… that was something!
Wiz (Unsure): Uh... yeah…
Boomstick: So… care to explain?
Wiz: Well, it’s a bit difficult to. Both beings were extremely powerful and it was difficult figuring out just how much that power extended to. In a few cases, Beetlejuice could have easily won this fight. But as a reminder; Death Battle looks at the most likely scenarios that have the more clear-sided victories. As a result, Mxyzptlk simply had more ways to victory.
Boomstick: Yeah, Mxy has been tricked into de-powering himself once before, but he still managed to take his powers back in the end. And while getting his ass kicked by Superboy Prime is still embarrassing, the fact that he survived a beating from a Superman not affected by magic is saying a lot. Meanwhile, BJ fights regular monsters and demonic creatures every day of the week. Impressive, yes. But not anywhere close to the multiverse-level beings that Mxy’s faced before.
Wiz: This brought us to the most deciding factor of this fight; raw power. While both could certainly warp reality to their liking, Mxyzptlk has proven that he’s far powerful and better skilled having destroyed and recreated multiple realities with ease. Something Beetlejuice has never had to contend with.
Boomstick: Yeah, Beetlejuice looked a lot better on paper, but he just didn’t have the means to put Mxyzptlk down for good.
Wiz: Beetlejuice was no pushover, but Mxyzptlk’s sheer power, multiversal durability, and greater intelligence won this battle.
Boomstick: Looks like…
Suddenly the two are hit with a glowing green ball of energy. The pair go cross-eyed and begin singing and dancing while their eyes turn a shade of green.
Boomstick (Singing while Voguing): Beetlejuice is sexy.
Wiz (Singing while Pointing at his Head): Beetlejuice is smart!
Wiz & Boomstick (Singing): BJ is a graduate of Juilliard! He can help! We found him on Yelp! Our troubles all ended on the day that we befriended him! Every word is the truth! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Be-
Before they can finish, a purple ball of energy hits them as they snap out of their daze.
Boomstick: What the hell was that?!
Wiz: Ugh! I feel so violated!
Boomstick: Uh… anyways, looks like this match-up was one Phantasmic-Cadaveric battle that was over-Lickety-sptlk!
Wiz: The winner is Mr. Mxyzptlk.
TRIVIA[]
The Connection between Beetlejuice and Mr. Mxyzptlk is that both are god-like reality warpers who use their powers to torment others with crude pranks and humor. They also share a weakness through people saying their name in a certain way.
This fight would ideally be hand-drawn animated.
Coincidently, Beetlejuice has crossed over with the DC Universe twice before. Once in the crossover video game LEGO Dimensions which featured Beetlejuice and many characters from the DC Universe as playable characters. The second time was in the animated series Teen Titans Go! which featured Beetlejuice trying to trap and torment the titular team.
The track title Eciujelteeb! Eciujelteeb! Eciujelteeb! Is a reference to both Mr. Mxyzptlk and Beetlejuice’s weaknesses (Mxy being defeated by saying his name backwards, and Beetlejuice through someone saying his name three times).
Beetlejuice mentions never doing Bird Movies which is a reference to how Beetlejuice’s actor, Michael Keaton, played the lead roles in both Batman (1989) and in Birdman Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) which both featured Keaton playing bird-like characters.
Many Death Battle Losers are featured in the afterlife including Captain Marvel (from both of her losses), Lex Luthor, Twilight Sparkle, Jin, Ganondorf, Hulk, Cable, Doctor Strange, Harry Potter, Goku, Red & Charizard, Sam Fisher, and All-Might.
Beetlejuice makes a reference to the late Supreme Court Justice Member Ruth Bader Ginsburg, pretending to see her in the afterlife and referring to her by her nickname ‘Notorious RBG.’
Beetlejuice mentions talking to Tim Burton about a ‘Hawaiian Project’ referring to the sequel idea ‘Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian’ which has been in development hell for decades.
DBDoctor13 cameos as himself and is attacked by Mr. Mxyzptlk.
Two other Fanon Battles cameo in this fight; Chuck Greene vs Lee Everett and Nami vs Yuffie. DBDoctor13 spoke to the authors of these fights for their approval.
During Nami vs Yuffie, Beetlejuice makes Yuffie sing Wannabe by The Spice Girls.
There is also a reference to Homelander vs Brightburn which DBDoctor13 initially wrote, but it was later deleted. The in-universe explanation is that Beetlejuice deleted it entirely to prevent Mxyzptlk from using it.
Beetlejuice attempts to make Wiz and Boomstick say his name through possesing them, causing them to sing part of the song Say My Name from the Beetlejuice Musical similar to what he did to Adam and Barbara in said musical.
