Description[]
Marvel Comics vs DC Comics, in the streets of bustling cities crime is rampant. However when two red hooded vigilantes take the scene, the criminals think twice before continuing their dastardly deeds, will Matt take down Jason, or will the Red Hood prove that Batman's training is unbeatable. This is Gogeta46power's 4th episode in his season 1.
Interlude[]
Gogeta: The night, it's something that a lot of people fear but honestly isn't the worst all things considered. Then again in big cities crime on the streets can be kinda but, so it's good we got badass vigilantes taking the heroism to their own hands.
Daredevil: Like me, the blind hero of New York City.
Red Hood: And me, the Robin who died, but then got better.
Gogeta: I'm Gogeta and it is my job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to see who would win in a Death Battle!
Daredevil[]
Gogeta: Yknow what's surprisingly uncommon in comics, an actual decent father. I mean we already had an abusive dad, that forced the Hulk to exist, so we're not in good shape, however Jack Murdock breaks those trends to be an extreme chad.
Daredevil: A chad?
Gogeta: Oh don't worry Matt, that will be the least of your questions soon. Though, he really was a cool guy. He was a boxer that literally just wanted to pay for his son's...or Matt over here's tuitions, what a good man.
Daredevil: Yeah, my old man was pretty cool. Even though he wanted me to live an easy life I really looked up to him and even trained my body to be a good fighter.
Gogeta: Hell yeah, you got pretty tough yourself, even having a good sense of justice, which would also be the reason of your heroic abilities. Upon saving an old guy that was gonna get run over by a truck, the truck flipped and some weird chemicals fell on your face, permanently blinding you.
Daredevil: Why are you telling me this? I know..I was there. The people reading this may not know as well.
Gogeta: Well, after he was blinded, Matt still didn't let that get him down. He still passed school with flying colors. Even making a law firm with one of this friends, a really successful hero is always a good thing.
Daredevil: All was looking up, but then my father was killed for winning a rigged boxing match, and after that my life started tumbling down. However, those chemicals that blinded me gave me a new calling in life, as I may have been blind, but it may or may not have heightened my other senses.
Gogeta: Even though he couldn't see, Matt could basically hear all around him. Smell better than the normal person, and his sense of touch is so good, he can literally tell when someone is close to him by their heartbeat.
Daredevil: These senses really helped when it came to fighting crime in New York's underbelly. Donning the costume of the devil I went out to fight crime every night.
Gogeta: And you had the skill to do it, with the guidance of Stick, a person who had the seeming same condition as you...really lucky break if you ask me. Anyway he trained you in many different martial arts, mostly not through sight, but through hearing your enemies.
Daredevil: With the training I got, it prepared me for what lied ahead. It did also help that my senses were far super human, heck I can taste every single ingredient inside of a meal, and even smell people when they are close to me.
Gogeta: In the real world people that are blind experience heightened senses. Good thing for Matt that his senses are on steroids, because without it he would not be as good of a fighter than he already is!
Daredevil: When fighting people as strong as Kingpin, I had to keen up my skills high enough to be formidable. With my club it is hard for any criminal to commit crime on the streets.
Gogeta: That club is actually Matt over here's walking stick. Which is essentially a swiss army knife, if that swiss army knife had a swiss army knife inside of it! This baby of course can be used to beat people down, but it is also can be broken into some nifty nunchucks.
Daredevil: More than that, it comes with a grappling hook which lets me do what you would think it would. They even have some hidden blades which catches almost everyone off guard.
Gogeta: I mean to be fair, you are blind so you being such a good fighter on its own should catch anyone off guard.
Daredevil: Well....probably yeah.
Gogeta: Not only is his cane super impressive. His Daredevil suit itself is also extremely impressive. I mean it is completely bullet and fire proof, already pretty hard to get through it.. It even has a nifty ability to nullify sound based attacks if he were in a situation against it.
Daredevil: Being a vigilante, I have fought my fair share of opponents, such as of course Kingpin, but also Bullseye, and Elektra.
Gogeta: Kingpin by the way could LITERALLY CRUSH A ROCK ONTO HIS HEAD WITHOUT ANY SORT OF INJURY. Not only was he strong enough to effortlessly destroy it, he literally wasn't phased, and Matt over here can actually injure him.
Daredevil: Lets see, I also have survived a fall of a building, onto a car and got right back up. Survived a punch the Punisher who can easily snap necks, and even Kingpin, who as stated before can easily break rocks.
Gogeta: Daredevil isn't just tough, he's fast as shit. Thanks to his Radar Sense, he can easily dodge and even deflect bullets, being so precise to literally deflect a bullet back at the person trying to shoot him.
Daredevil: Not only that, I can dodge a bullet in a microsecond, or one millionth of a second, which should be thousands of times faster than the speed of sound, coupled with my radar sense, it is pretty much impossible for any normal person to track and hit me.
Gogeta: I mean, just because you are a badass vigilante doesn't mean you are super perfect, I mean you DO have a distinct weakness to high pitched noises, because even though all of your senses are heightened. That makes noises just much..much louder.
Daredevil: Also..very strong odors can suppress my abilities. That is probably why my Radar Sense is weakened inside of this place.
Gogeta: Hey! That's Cujo, blame him.
Daredevil: Oh, you have a dog?
Gogeta: Dog?
Daredevil: Uh...yeah..even with those drawbacks..seeing my record. It is not surprising how I became such a successful hero as I did.
Red Hood[]
Gogeta: Ever since he was a kid Jason Todd didn't exactly have the easiest life in the world. I mean he lived on the streets for most of his life..wait all of his life. The only thing he could do to get by was steal shit and do the normal criminal jazz.
Red Hood: This lifestyle, while not optimal for most people worked for me for the most part.
Gogeta: Until you decided to take the rim off of the goddamn Batmobile! Seriously, how the hell did you think that was a good idea, did you not even notice that it was the Batmobile?
Red Hood: First I was 12, second I had to do what I had to get by, and third, is patronizing the person that has a red sight on you the best idea?
Gogeta: *gulp* Y..Yeah right.
Red Hood: Turns out though. That choice was the correct choice. Bats over there actually just broke up with his other Robin Dick Grayson. Pretty sure he goes by Nightwing these days, either way Bats had me become the next Robin.
Gogeta: Batman hoped that Jason over here could be as good as Dick over there... yeah that was not happening. I mean Jason wasn't the worst, however he just was not that good when it comes down to it.
Red Hood: Unfortunately correct, so people voted for me to die or not. Would that homicidal clown murder me with a crowbar or not. They of course voted for me to be murdered...thanks everyone.
Gogeta: Yeah..Jesus. How many shots did he get in?
Red Hood: 2 dozen? Maybe 3?
Gogeta: Jesus, well you were dead. Until Superboy Prime decided to literally punch through reality quickly, which seemed to have a chain reaction and brought you back from the dead. One dip into a Lazarus Pit later and you came back better than ever.
Red Hood: Oh yeah, I donned the costume I made to resemble the fucker that killed me all those years prior. I set out on a quest to ruin Bruce's life in order to make sure he knows being a goody two shoes is not the right way to be a vigilante.
Gogeta: I mean to be fair, you DO have the tools to put even Batman on the ropes. Normally you have a nice dual wielded pistols and knives to deal with most opponents as they really cannot deal with you even with those two.
Red Hood: Also carrying shurikens and all sorts of grenades are good at dispatching enemies that don't go out in the first swift strike .
Gogeta: Jason over here also has a sweet modified rifle in case he still has yet to win in a fight which is already unlikely. For some reason also he can spawn some neat blades called the All Blades which can only be forged against an evil opponent..so irrelevant for this fight.
Red Hood: Having a bulletproof suit and helmet is great at fighting the scum of Gotham. The helmet in particular can scan an area making stealth a terrible idea against me. Also, if needed it can explode, that helps.
Gogeta: Being this badass, it really is funny how you never truly beat Batman huh?
(Red Hood points a gun at Gogeta's head)
Gogeta: Y...Yeah! Um..you have Venom! Right! Venom! That steroids that Bane uses! Increasing your strength and durability! That's cool right!
Red Hood: You're such an idiot, but yes, I do have that. I have been trained by many different people and groups, such as Batman himself, The League of Assassins, and even the All-Cast, which are just more assassins.
Gogeta: Me being scared for my life aside...Red Hood truly proves himself in combat, I mean just look at the line-up he has fought. Of course there is Batman, The Joker, Bane, and even DC's version of Frankenstein... who is essentially a diet Solomon Grundy, but even then still super impressive.
Red Hood: I would personally say I'm better than the caped crusader, I was stealthy enough to completely get away from Supergirl.
Gogeta: Let me repeat that, Supergirl, the woman who is comparable to Superman. Friendly reminder, a Kryptonian's hearing is so goddamn good, they can hear a faint sound from a galaxy away, have X-Ray vision, and can feel the faintest of feelings around them. DAMN he is good.
Red Hood: Coupled with that stealth I am really fast. Bullets are not a problem for me do deal with, even without a bulletproof suit. I am also comparable to Time Drake who can do similar bullet timing feats.
Gogeta: So Red Hood is a badass, we know that now. But remember, he is STILL human. He can be put down with a good bullet to the head and other similar weaknesses all humans have.
Red Hood: I am also not the greatest in the head. While not proud to admit it, I am prone to be violent in extreme situations, but hey, gotta get the job done somehow right?
Gogeta: Yeah..well your armor is insane, it can tank an underwater exploding submarine, so yeah...you are a complete badass through and through.
Red Hood: All criminal fucks should beware when I am wandering the streets of Gotham.
Battle[]
(It was a cold and silent night in New York)
Thug 1: Damn, it's cold as shit.
Thug 2: Stop bitching, we need to bring this shipment to the Joker before he has our asses.
Thug 1: Yeah yeah, what the hell is in these anyway.
Thug 2: I dunno, and I am damn not about to look.
Thug 1: Right.
(A red batarang is thrown at them)
Thug 1: SHIT! IT'S THE BAT!
Thug 2: Damn it! Fucking bail!
(Both of the thugs run away, however the first thug gets shot in the leg as Red Hood approaches him and grabs him by the collar)
Red Hood: Where is Joker!?
Thug 1: I..I dunno man!
Red Hood: We can do this all day.
(Red Hood stabs the thug in the leg, slowly bringing the knife up as the screen pans to the other thug running)
Thug 2: Shit, that wasn't Batman! I don't know who it was..at least it seems I got aw-
(He is knocked out by a club to the face as red legs walk toward the other thug and Red Hood)
Thug 1: Ah!! AHH!! HE'S IN A WAREHOUSE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY, NEAR THE DOCKS!
Red Hood: Thanks.
(Red Hood points a gun to his head and ready to fire)
???: Hey! What do you think you're doing?
Red Hood: Trying to find a homicidal clown, don't try to stop me.
(He comes from the shadows revealing it's Daredevil)
Daredevil: Funny, the only homicidal clown here is you.
Red Hood: Tch, I don't have time for this.
Daredevil: Don't worry, I'll make it quick.
Red Hood: It's your funeral.
(Both stand there and square off, solely drawing their weapons. Red Hood snickers at the clubs that Matt has and shoots both of his pistols at once, however they get effortlessly deflected into neighboring buildings, hitting the the first thug with it. Daredevil spins his clubs as he runs toward Red Hood, deflecting all of the bullets that come his way. When he reaches the rogue Bat-Family member he dodges a punch coming from the left as Matt knees Jason in the stomach. Lifting Red Hood by the collar he throws him over his shoulder in a trash-can. Jumping towards him Daredevil tries to get an early win with a blade hidden in his clubs, but it is narrowly dodged as Red Hood kicks Daredevil off himself, shooting him in the air however the bullet not piercing Daredevil's bulletproof suit. Jason stands there for a moment waiting for Matt to get up, as he does Jason fires multiple bullets Matt's way, bobbing and weaving his way through Daredevil gets his way to Red Hood and smacks him across the face. Quickly Jason pulls out a knife parrying the incoming blow from the club. Red Hood looks forward and Daredevil's fist quickly hits him, sending him flying a good few meters through a wall Red Hood cracking his neck from the injury)
Daredevil: I said I would make it quick.
Red Hood: As if a blow like that would knock me down, I have to admit. You have some ass kicking in you.
Daredevil: Thanks, the same can't be said for you.
(Red Hood throws multiple shurikens with them all being deflected quite effortlessly. One of them even being caught in the air, throwing it right back. Jason looks at it and shoots it out of the air it going right to the ground. Both stand their ground for a moment as Red Hood kicks a brick towards Daredevil, him catching it. Jason comes up from the left with a knife swipe, Matt looks left for a moment to stare down Jason. This catches Red Hood off guard as the knife gets kicked out of his hand. Without any weapons this gives Daredevil an opportunity to unleash multiple punches and kicks onto Red Hood, this combo ends with a hard punch to the side of Jason's helmet, leaving a slight crack on it. Jason surprised that he was so effortlessly thrown to the side realizes he needs a new plan of attack. Reaching in his pocket he pulls out a grenade. Tossing it at the devil-suited hero he hops up a building to get a higher ground, Daredevil catches it and throws it where no one would be injured by the blast. Matt follows Jason up the building)
Daredevil: Nice trick.
Red Hood: Sorry, wasn't a trick.
Daredevil: I've heard about you, aren't you supposed to be a hero?
Red Hood: I get the job done, no matter the casualty.
Daredevil: Seems you need to be taught a lesson.
(As he said that, both of the two vigilantes were hopping from building to building. When Matt got to one Jason got a leg up and punches him square in the face, having him fall towards the hard concrete below. Quickdrawing his grappling hook, he hooks onto the side of a building, wrappling himself up flipping onto the building. When he gets up there Jason is nowhere to be seen. He slowly walks around, the night was cold, quiet, and still. He puts his head down as the camera pans around him. The screen goes to Red Hood on the ground level hiding out for a minute. Cracking his neck he accidentally knocks over a trash can, alerting Matt to his presence. Daredevil jumps off the building towards Jason, with the Red Hood looking up. The blow is barely dodged, as while Daredevil looks up at Red Hood, he gets hit in the temple with a mighty kick. Getting an opportunity Red Hood gets to punches to the head off. Backing off he pulls out a machine gun and begins to unload bullets, Daredevil's suit thankfully for him protecting from the projectiles)
Red Hood: That suit is damn annoying.
Daredevil: Was about to say the same about you.
Red Hood: Right.
(Red Hood aims his pistol at Matt, firing a bullet it again just being deflected. He fires another one at a trash can, it being ricocheted over to a mine he quietly put on. Daredevil looks behind him and only has a split-second to react to the explosion. He barely dodged the main part of the blast, however getting hit by part of it. This gives Jason more oppurtunity to to get blows him. Before however he hits one large punch his fist gets caught, letting Daredevil get a punch and a kick towards the Red Hooded vigilante. Red Hood falls to the ground, and before he has time to get back up Daredevil stomps on his back, keeping him to the ground. Keeping his foot there he stomps again, pulling his club out he hits the back of Jason's head. Red Hood stays there quietly for a few moments, before groaning slightly and Daredevil walks off turning his head back)
Daredevil: Let that be a lesson to you.
Red Hood: Lesson my ass.
(Red Hood stands up and cracks his neck. He pulls out a knife and runs at Matt, both of them trading blows, dodging punches and kicks left and right. This little scuffle ends with a kick to Daredevil's chest, sending him back. Jason runs up and keeps up the pressure with a combo of punches and kicks. Matt's head gets grabbed and a bunch of knees to the skull, tossing him to the side. Standing over the injured Daredevil Red Hood pulls a out a pistol, pointing it to the chin of him, where it isn't protected. Right before he fires Matt kips up, knocking Jason down to the ground. Now Daredevil has the upperhand as he whips out his club and unloads it onto his chest. Blow after blow hits the Caped Crusader's protégée. At the end he groans out in pain, shaking it off he goes for a cheeky elbow to the cheek, however it gets blocked and Daredevil simply shakes his head at it. Looking down Red hood sweeps the ground, knocking Matt down, giving Red Hood time to get some distance away from him)
Red Hood: Damn! What the hell is this guy? I need to figure something out.
Daredevil: To answer your question, someone that is you, but better.
(After he says that, it is completely silent. Daredevil walks along the silent streets, so silent that he can pick up the noises of mice 5 blocks down. Matt looks up and down the buildings, with no sign of Red Hood anywhere. Confused Daredevil panics just a little bit, unsure on what to do. After he passes a specific alley, Jason out of nowhere pops out and gets him in a chokehold. Both of them scuffle for a little bit, after it Red Hood gets out on top, beginning to choke out Daredevil. After around 10 seconds of this Daredevil manages to get Jason off of him with one mighty kick. Needing a breather after that chokehold Matt uses his grappling hook to hook onto Red Hood's leg, pulling him closer and closer. When Red Hood gets right up to him, Jason pulls out another grenade from his pocket and throws it right after Daredevil, putting him into a bad spot. With the split second that Daredevil was distracted Jason kicks him up in the air, onto the grenade itself, blasting Matt up in the air. Red Hood uses this opportunity to jump up and grab Daredevil by the back and throws him hard against the ground. Falling now Jason pulls out a knife and aims it right at Matt's neck. Right before it pierces his neck however, it is blocked with Daredevil's arm, it being pierced and starts to bleed)
Daredevil: Not..so fast!
(After briefly saying that Daredevil pulls the knife out and slashes Jason's shoulder with it, that part starting to bleed. Both of their injuries are starting to take its toll on one another as both need to recover for a moment. After that both stand up and simply ignore the knife wounds both have, and they begin another scuffle again. Trading punches and kicks, both of them not relenting until the other makes a mistake, and that one happened to be Red Hood in this instance. He managed to get a punch off onto Daredevil, however that just gave Matt a way to get off an even stronger punch, cracking Red Hood's helmet even more than it already is. Daredevil manages to cut through Red Hood's armor more and more, leaving a bunch of open spots that are pooling out blood. However Jason does not care and flips back, midair he fires bullet after bullet, all of them being dodged. When he lands Red Hood throws a grenade he activated in midair to explode midway through the air. Due to Daredevil already being blind however it doesn't affect him as much as Jason would want it to as when Jason gets to Matt his blow was blocked. This however, was what Red Hood wanted, firing at the ground at another mine he planted before. The explosion hits Daredevil more, tearing and destroying more of his costume)
Red Hood: Sorry about this, shouldn't have picked a fight with someone who can kick your ass.
Daredevil: You...kick my ass? I've had my ass kicked before, you sure are hell not that.
(Both of them rush each other again, trading blow after blow. Both of them seem to be weakening, and their movements are getting a litle bit sluggish, however they are still pressing on. Daredevil is the one to get an upperhand in this fight, grabbing Jason by the arm and throwing him over his back, slamming him to the ground. The force of which manages to crack the concrete below. He goes for a swift stab, however it is dodged and Daredevil is nailed in the chin with Red Hood kicking himself up. When he's fully up he gets Daredevil over and over with punches to the head. Doing a spin kick Matt gets kicked to the ground, with rain starting to fall. Daredevil quickly stands up. Both of them face off once again, beginning to grapple. Red Hood goes for a punch to the side, however it is blocked by Matt's knee. With this opportunity Daredevil takes it and headbutts Jason, cracking his helmet quite more. Groaning Red Hood takes off his helmet and places it on the ground, cracking his neck)
Red Hood: Been a while since I've needed that replaced.
Daredevil: A whole lot more than that will need replacing.
Red Hood: We'll see about that.
(Daredevil spins his clubs around as Red Hood spins his pistols. Jason begins to fire bullet after bullet, all of them of course being deflected. One even being deflected straight towards Red Hood's head, however he simply dodges out of the way of it. This gives Matt the time to smack him across the face with the clubs, even cutting his cheek with it. Both of them continue the onslaught, punches and kicks flying and what not. The rain picks up more and more, the blood they shed being washed away. This scuffle ends with Jason being knocked down to the ground. Daredevil begins to walk towards him, Red Hood barely moving at this point. Daredevil redies his shot, during his swing Jason throws his helmet he takes off it beeping, sending Matt a worrying message. However before he has time to actually react, it blows up right in his face, staggering him. Jason runs up and shoves one of his pistols down his throat, looking at him)
Red Hood: Deflect this...asshole!
(Red Hood fires down Daredevil's throat, going through the other side of his head, killing him instantly. Daredevil's body falls down to the ground, the cold air silent. A puddle forms under him, being tainted with his blood. Sighing, Red Hood walks away weakly, however still in one piece)
Analysis[]
Gogeta: Oh..probably not a good thing to see huh?
Daredevil: Most definitely not.
Gogeta: This debate was indeed interesting, as both of them hold pretty significant advantages, but don't really stomp in any of them.
Red Hood: Clearly I was much tougher than the Devil over there. I mean I can tank point blank explosions and keep going. Or the time I was knocked around by Frankenstein, that is durability that he has never really shown before.
Gogeta: Yes, but with Daredevil's greater speed, it was obvious that it alone was not going to win you the fight. Jason, at bare minimum, is a bullet timer. However Daredevil is more consistent when it comes to bullet timing, to the point of even being dodge bullets in the microsecond.
Red Hood: Yeah that's true, I wouldn't be able to keep pace in a full fledged fight.
Gogeta: Exactly, coupled with the Radar Sense, it really was an issue for you to fight him in a straight fist fight. If it was down to that one factor, Daredevil would've almost always win because of the speed and that damned sense.
Daredevil: Unfortunately for me however, it is NOT down to that factor. Looking over what my opponent can do, he is pretty damn skilled and knows how to fight opponents that are tricky to put down.
Gogeta: Oh that he is, Red Hood is EXTREMELY skilled, much moreso than Daredevil. He's been trained by experienced assassins in differing countries, learning many different martial arts, and even the caped crusader himself.
Red Hood: That skill, while it won't key me in on what the Radar Sense exactly is, I would definitely pick up that something is up with him, and I would opt for going for a different method.
Gogeta: And that method is quite simple. Stealth. While it is weird to think that it is one of the keys to his victory, it is quite true.
Daredevil: My Radar Sense is good, but it isn't 100% perfect, people HAVE snuck up on me in the past, so we need to see how stealthy Jason over here is.
Gogeta: And it is quite simple. Remember, Red Hood managed to sneak away from Supergirl..a KRYPTONIAN. Whose senses are FAR GREATER than even Daredevil's, Daredevil may be able to hear everything in a city, Superman, who Supergirl definitely compares to, can hear sounds from the vaccuum of space, LIGHTYEARS away. Yeah. It's clear that Red Hood can get the jump on Daredevil.
Red Hood: Not to mention my arsenal, while can be countered by the Radar Sense, is still far greater than that of Daredevil's, giving me the versatility advantage.
Gogeta: In terms of brute strength, this was never really either of their strong suits. however with even a little bit of Venom Red Hood should be stronger, and the durability gap would increase even further.
Daredevil: So to recap, with my similar strength and speed advantage, this is far from a stomp, however Red Hood being more durable, skilled, and more than stealthy enough to get away from even my Radar Sense gives him the win?
Gogeta: Now you're catching on! Remember, if this was a straight brawl then Daredevil would probably win. His speed and his Radar Sense would be able to put Jason on the ropes more times than not, however that isn't enough to declare him the victor. By my sight, it seems that Red Hood dared to fight this Devil, and came out the winner.
Red Hood: The winner is me, Jason Todd.
A/D + Next Time[]
