Daredevil[]
Mortician: Matt Murdock grew up in Hell's Kitchen, New York as such crime and poverty were everyday sights for him. Matt was born into poverty however his father, Jack, worked tirelessly as a boxer to save up for Matt's future to give him a life, leaving Matt with a decent college fund considering his home-life.
Redshock: One day Matt saw a blind man in his neighborhood about to be hit by a truck and pushed him out of the way. The man was saved, but the truck spilled some of it's cargo, toxic waste as it turned out, and hitting Matt, blinding him permanently.
Mortician: However a miracle happened to Matt, he began to adapt quickly in his new life as a blind man, including attending law school, but Matt remaining four senses were were extremely heightened. Matt was also able to retain detailed information, practically forever, down to the smallest details. By the time Matt passed his bar exam, he had developed peek human senses. Matt had also been training himself physically more and more as his studies allowed so he could allow his reaction time to correspond with his new senses.
Redshock: His father was starting o making a name for himself as a boxing contender and invited Matt to one of his matches, but what he didn't tell his son was the fight was fixed and Jack had to take the fall. But wanting his son to see him as a winner, he ended up winning the match, but the people who fixed the match didn't like that so they ended up killing Jack in the street only for Matt to find his father's body soon later.
Mortician: Matt wanted to avenge his father, but just the legal way, but more of a vigilante way, he decided to take justice into his own hands. Matt dressed up to protect his identity and used his tracking skills and athletic training to find, incapacitate and bring in the fixer and his crew. The identity the papers gave Matt's vigilante persona was "The Death Defying Daredevil".
Redshock: Matt liked the name and kept it. He would go on to reuse his alter ego to track criminals he could not touch through the legal system and bring them to justice as the Daredevil.
Mortician: As a blind man, Matt's 4 senses are acute and improved than a normal human, his touch can feel the temperature and pressure changes in the atmosphere around him and can feel the presence of a person standing five feet away from him simply by his or her body heat and disturbance of air. With his smell he can detect odors of an atmospheric concentration of thirty parts per million which is how he can identify a person. He can hear a person's heartbeat at a distance of over twenty feet, or people whispering on the other side of a standard soundproofed wall. And his taste enables him to determine every ingredient of a food or drink he tastes.
Redshock: But that's not all, Matt is an accomplished Martial Artist trained by the knockoff blind Mr Miyagi Stick, Stick taught Matt how to use his Senses and Martial Arts to help in becoming Daredevil. Matt is a master in his 13 different fighting styles including Boxing, Ninjutsu, Karate, Taekwondo, Kung Fu, Judo and so much more. He is so skilled in fighting that he fought other master martial artists like Black Widow, Iron Fist, Deadpool, even Wolverineto standstills.
Mortician: Matt is also skilled in weaponry, he is highly proficient in wielding various martial art weapons through his Ninjutsu training, such as swords, chain weapons, combat knives of all types, and projectiles such as shurikens and throwing knives, but is favorite weapon is his Billy Club. Matt's Billy Club is a multi-purpose weapon. It has a retractable microphone, a miniature tape recorder, chamber for firing projectiles, and a wire cable which allows the club to be used as a grappling hook.
Redshock: His Daredevil suit is really cool, besides looking like an actual Devil, Matt's suit is also fully bulletproof, fireproof, and fully insulated from electrical attacks. And those horns he has aren't for show, they have a built in antennae that can pick up radio waves, allowing him to tap into police scanners everywhere.
Mortician: Matt was also a gifted gymnast capable of Olympic-level acrobatics that only a few people in the Marvel Universe can accomplish such as Spider-Man, Shang-Chiand Captain America. His skills in acrobatics allows Matt to climb and jump across rooftops and escape police on foot without having a vehicle.
Redshock: Despite being blind, Matt was gifted with Radar Sense, allowing him to form echolocation via low radio wave projection. The signal emanates radio waves from regions of his brain, after which it travels outward, bounces off objects around him, and returns to receiving regions of his brain. With this ability, Matt can synthesize a very close analogue of three-dimensional three-hundred-and-sixty-degree human sight.
Redshock: Matt is so badass, he once defeated a 107 armed Yukuza in just one night, held his own against the Amazing Spider-Man, survived falling out of a multi story building and defeated several Marvel Villains like Elektra, Bullseye, and his arch nemesis, Kingpin.
Mortician: But Matt does have one major flaw, his Blind, yes I know we already said it but it's both a gift and a curse, his superhuman senses render him extraordinarily vulnerable to odors and/or excessive noise, which can temporarily weaken his radar sense
Redshock: But if you ever escaped the law from a blind man who tried to put you away, look out for another in a red devil suit, cause he won't be nice this time.
Daredevil "I'm Daredevil. Not even God can stop that now."
Raphael[]
Mortician: One stormy night in New York City, a mysterious canister of green ooze broke onto the streets of the Big Apple, and spilled and effected 4 turtles and a man named Hamato Yoshi, not the green dinosaur from Mario, and turned Yoshi into a rat and the turtles into some sort of mutants.
Redshock: Hamato raised the turtles in the sewers and soon taught them Ninjutsu as he thought they had potential in doing good in New York after all the pain and suffering being caused by a man named The Shredder.
Mortician: Turns out Yoshi was a leader of a clan of Ninja's in Japan who was banished from the clan by one of his students, and made his way to America and adopted the turtles as his pets from a pet store.
Redshock: After being turned into a rat, he renamed himself Master Splinter named the turtles, weirdly after Italian Rennasiance painters, one of them being Raphael.
Mortician: Raph was considered the strongest and the most hot headed of the group, often getting into fights with his older brother Leonardo. He was trained the same as his brother's but each were given a different weapon to master, Raph's being the Twin Sais.
Redshock: His Sais are Japanese knives used in Okinawa in stabbing and disarming opponents weapons and Raph can use it like throwing knives and climb walls. Raph also carries other weapons on him like Grappling Hooks, Shurikens, Tanto, Tonfa, and even a Katana but prefers using his Sais.
Mortician: Raph is also a skilled Martial Artist trained in the Art of Ninjutsu and forms of Japanese Martial Arts such as Taijutsu, not the Naruto Anime version but actual Taijutsu that is similar to Karate but is more focused on the body techniques like Judo, Aikido, and Kenpo.
Redshock: Rapheal is also skilled in Shurikenjutsu, the art of throwing Shurikens, Shinobi-iri techniques for stealth and infiltration, and other Japanese skills and techniques for a Ninja.
Mortician: Raph is also considered the strongest of the Turtles, due to his hot headed attitude he combines his strength and anger to be used as an enforcer, he is strong enough to tank bullets from several firearms and can even redirect the bullets from his shell, tank hits from Slash, who can cut through steel with his claws, dodge lightning, and even knocked back Traag.
Redshock: And like your average non Mutant Teenage Turtle he can go into his shell to dodge attacks.
Mortician: He's also arguably the second best fighter of his brothers. He's bested Leonardo and Dark Leonardo who is stronger and more deadly than normal Leo. Raph has defeated several members of the Foot Clan by himself and even held his own against the Shredder on several occasions, even becoming Shredder himself.
Redshock: But of course like everyone, Raph has his flaws, he is usually temperamental and hot headed easily making him lose focus, and rushes into fights without a plan often beating an opponent with nothing but his brute strength.
Mortician: But nonetheless, like his brother's, Raph loves nothing more than protecting those he loves weather their Turtle, Rat or Human, Raph will do whatever he can, to be the hero hiding in the shadows.
Rapheal: "You better hand over the phone, or so help me, I'll kick your hairy butt all the way to New Jersey!"
Death Battle[]
Prologue[]
On a rainy day in the Big Apple, Rapheal and Casey were getting pizza in Turtles's Van, they both heard gunfire in an apartment building across the street, and screams shortly after. Casey says to Raph "You thinking what I'm thinking". Raph said as he loaded up the pizza, "just wait for me, takes these to the other's, it won't take me too long". Casey argued "come on Raph, I haven't taught anybody Pain 101 in weeks". Raph grinned and chuckled as he walked toward's the apartment "sorry bud, I call dibs". Casey drove away with the hot cheesy pizza's.
Daredevil had already knocked out a few armed mercenaries until he reached the apartment of one Kingpin's lieutenants "where is he?!", as Daredevil screamed at the injured goon "I don't know he just vanished out of thin air, Kinpin's gone!", "I don't believe you", and knocked him out with his baton. Raph was standing behind him and said "like you style, pal", Daredevil turned around, he wasn't fazed as he had his fair share in dealing with weird looking dudes "stay out of my way if you know what's good for you". Raph grinned "are you threatening me, demon boy?". Daredevil grabbed his other baton as Raph grabbed his Sais both ready to...
FIGHT![]
Both clashed into eachother, with Raph disarming one of Matt's Batons and smacked him in the side of his head with the butt of his Sais, this stunned Daredevil, but he quickly dodged several strikes of Raph's Sais while flipping and dodging out of the way, this angered Raph and rushed toward's Daredevil, but Daredevil's quickly dodged Raph as he ran through the apartment wall into the empty hallway.
Raph stood up and met Daredevil's fist into a superman punch as he jumped off a hallway wall, the two fought with Raph and his Sais and Daredevil with one Baton, as the two kept hitting and dodging eachother neither one landed a fatal blow, until Raph was close to the end of the hallway and Daredevil jumped kicked him out of the window.
Raph landed outside the heavy rain falling onto his body, he got back up groaning and cursing under his breath. He yelled as he couldn't see Daredevil through the fallen window "Where Are You?!, Come Out And Face Me Like A Man?!". Then Raph met one of Matt's Batons as it ricocheted off a nearby building and planting itself firmly into his cranium. Daredevil came up from behind Raph and got him into a chokehold, only for Raph to duck under into his shell and screamed at the top of his lungs and ran backwards colliding Matt between a brick wall and Raph's shell.
Raph kicked away Matt's Batons into the road, he picked up Daredevil by his throat against the wall and said "ha, hard to see with that mask how can you see". Daredevil grinned and said "I don't", and had his other Baton in his hand and fired a metal projectile into Raph's foot. As Raph screamed and let go of Daredevil, he was even more furious, Raph through a right hook to Matt's face only for Matt to dodge and Raph's fist collided with the brick wall. Matt runs and dives for his Baton and as Raph through a smoke bomb down.
Matt could hear Raph's footsteps leading toward's a nearby sewer lid, and heard Raph groaning not in pain but by stress, Raph grabbed the sewer lid and chucked it at Daredevil, only for him dodge the lid as it smashed through a nearby store window. Daredevil combined his two batons into a staff, and Raph pulled out his one Sais and a Katana sword in one hand. Daredevil spoke "time to finish this!".
Raph ran up to Daredevil, with him dodged and countering almost all of Raph's attacks, a few landed non of them being fatal except for one, Raph slashed his Katana across Matt's face scaring his face and knocking his mask off, Matt then smacked his staff into one of Raph's arms damaging it that he let go of his sword, he then proceeded to hit his other arm breaking the other one as well. Raph stood up in anger and lunged toward's Daredevil only for Daredevil to redirect him into a lamp post, Daredevil then broke his staff back into two Batons, fired two wires around the post and Rapheal's head, and tied his neck with the wires against the lamp post, Daredevil kicked Raph behind his knees so Raph could get onto his knees and put one foot on Raph's back the other behind his head.
With Raph screaming in pain and agony as the wires began to cut through his skin and flesh, he tried to duck underneath the wires but with Daredevil's foot planted at the back of his head and being tied to the lamp post he was far to weak and struggled to get out, with one last scream from Raph "DAMN!!!!", Daredevil pulled onto his Batons with the last of his strength and popped Raph's head off his shoulders. Daredevil heard a large van was coming into his direction and Daredevil ran away as he fired a wire onto a building and climbed up and escaped.
KO!
Results[]
Redshock: HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
Mortician: You can say that again.
Redshock: HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
Mortician: I was joking, anyway while Rapheal did have the physical feats with superior Strength, Speed, and arguably Durability, the rest came to the Devil of Hell's Kitchen.
Redshock: Matt had far more experienced dealing with not only street thugs and mobsters but trained Ninjas and Assassins like Elektra who also uses Sais like Raph and can be said who are more skilled than Raph, even the Hand Marvel's own Ninja Clan is way stronger than the Foot which is a parody off of the Hand.
Mortician: Rapheal did have his anger problems, which Matt exploited to his advantage, Raph also didn't have any weapons or tools to disrupt Matt's Radar Senses and wasn't smart enough on how to deal with Daredevil and his vulnerable senses.
Redshock: And don't forget, while Raph is a master in Ninjutsu like his brothers, but Matt is a master in 13 forms of Martial Arts with Ninjutsu included, meaning whatever Raph dishes at Matt, he knows how to counterattack or redirect any of Raph's moves with Ninjutsu or his 12 other fighting styles.
Mortician: While Raph was physically superior, with Matt's Vast Martial Arts Training, Experience with Ninjas, Better Senses, and Higher Intelligence allowed the Devil to beat the Turtle.
Redshock: You can say Hell's Kitchen is serving Turtle Soup over Pizza Tonight, the Winner is Daredevil!
