| “ | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure vs Sonic the Comic! These two big bad antagonists may have been mere nuisances to the likes of Jotaro and Sonic once, but thanks to an extra helping of godly powers both of these evil men have become very dangerous threats to not only innocent people, but the entire multiverse and existence itself. Which gifted villain will prevail? | „ |
Introduction[]
Silver: In fiction, every hero needs an equally powerful antagonist to get in their way and prevent them from keeping their worlds safe, secure and well.
Maverick: Especially when it comes to video games and comics/manga, the sources of which our fighters today came from. Only that, uh... these guys aren't exactly content with being foiled in their original source material, and decided "you know what, let's become a much bigger threat in another piece of media. That'll teach our enemies not to mess with us"! And it just so happens that these guys got their buffs in the other's media too! What a coincidence. But who are they, you may ask?
DIO, the vampire seeking heaven.
Doctor Robotnik, the mad scientific marvel
Maverick: He's Silver and I'm Maverick!
Silver: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armour and skills to see who would win a Death Battle!
Dio Brando[]
Silver: The infamous battle between the Joestars and the nefarious Dio Brando date all the way back to the 1800's, or Victorian England, when a man by the name of Dario Brando and his wife came across a crashed carriage which was meant to transport the rich Joestar family before falling into a ditch.
Maverick: The Joestars had mostly survived, excluding the likes of Mrs. Joestar and the family's driver. Among the survived was their young baby son - keep that in mind for later - and the man of the family, George Joestar.
Silver: In contrast to George, Dario was a poor individual of the working class, and finding the crashed carriage meant big things for his life, as he assumed that all of those onboard had died. Thus, the man tried stealing from the higher class man, only for him and his wife to be amazed that George was still alive and well just like his son.
Maverick: And unlike most old England rich folk, George was actually a stellar guy, who believed that he owed something to the Brando family for their, 'ahem', "help" rescuing him. Only that that wasn't the case, and George actually knew of that when Dario was arrested for trying to sell off his ring. But again, being a nice guy, George managed to get the man away from jail, knowing of his family's predicament and hoping that, with the money, Dario could turn his family's life around.
Silver: And that was the end of that. Except it really wasn't. The Brandos later had a son, who we know as Dio Brando, and at the age of thirteen, Dio had lost his mother thanks to his father, who was now a crippling and abusive alcoholic. So what was there to do besides fending for himself out in the harsh environment he was raised in?
Maverick: Finding out about the debt the Joestars owed him and planning to kill his dad to get adopted by George and claim the Joestar inheritance?
Silver: Precisely. Dio was an academically gifted kid, acting more upper class in a lower class family. But underneath all of that was a sinister kid hoping to one up his father and restore pride to his name. Or achieve Heaven itself, but that's much later.
Maverick: So instead of getting his sick father the medicine he sorely needed, Dio decided to poison the dude and kill him off, leading to his inevitable adoption by the Joestars. Once there though, Dio noted of a certain Joestar son getting in his way of claiming inheritance. Jonathan Joestar.
Silver: Dio's first order of business would be to break Jonathan's spirit. This included forcing his girlfriend's first kiss, making his friends hate him for straight up lies and basically making his life hell. Everything was going fine for Dio's scheme, until JoJo fought back.
Maverick: Then cue Stone Masks, vampires, breathing based martial arts, the death of George, the discovery of Dio's plan to kill George in a similar way to how he killed his father, and you've got yourself an immortal vampire who would haunt the Joestar descendants all the way up to the 1980's. All that story covered in only a few words!
Silver: To note, the vampire in this situation was Dio, who rejected his humanity in favour of becoming a dangerous threat to Jonathan and his descendants. From here on out, Dio would become an all powerful threat, who dropped the plan of stealing the Joestar inheritance in favour of reaching Heaven itself, and becoming an all powerful deity. All thanks to the power of his Stand, The World.
Pop-Up: While DIO did originally have unique abilities as a vampire, once DIO attached his head to the body of the deceased Jonathan Joestar these abilities were lost. He cannot call upon them again
Maverick: After attaching his head to Jonathan Joestar's body while submerged under the sea for a century, DIO found a unique ability coming from a special arrow brought to the world through an alien comet. Don't ask, vampires, zombies, aliens, invisible spirit ghosts... pretty much everything "bizarre" out there. Get it, because "Bizarre Adventure"?
Silver: Yes, Maverick, we get it. A Stand is a unique ability gifted to those struck by the arrow, and only those with a strong willpower can hold on to their lives and obtain one without dying. DIO was one of those people, and The World is an all powerful Stand, one of the keys to achieving Heaven. But first, we need to elaborate on what a Stand is.
Maverick: A Stand is an invisible spirit that is essentially an extension of a user's soul. Only Stand users can interact with Stands, however those that can interact with beings of a similar nature, or those with non-physical interaction in other words.
Silver: Common misconception is that you need soul manipulation to attack a Stand, but that is false, as Stands are not the souls themselves but merely an extended physical embodiment of a soul's fighting spirit. Thus, it's only non-physical interaction.
Pop-Up: The rule of "only Stand users and their Stands can interact with other Stands" is only relevant within the universe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Characters like, for example, Danny Phantom or Sonic the Hedgehog, should be capable of interacting with them, as they have also faced spirits and ghosts in the past and have been able to physically damage them.
Maverick: Also, if a Stand gets damaged, the inflicted harm can pass on to it's user and vice versa, which ironically enough is how DIO ended up dying. Hey, what a coincidence!
Silver: And that brings us to what makes The World a unique Stand compared to others not called Star Platinum. No two Stands are exactly the same, unless alternate universes are in play, and The World is the one example in the original universe where that isn't the case. Because as you all know, "it's the same type of Stand as Star Platinum".
Maverick: It's still pretty busted though, in JoJo at least, all thanks to it's abilities. First off, The World is a hard hitter, being matched with Star Platinum in speed and strength. Star Platinum was able to fight on par with Silver Chariot, who can intercept a Stand that can travel between reflections at light speeds.
Silver: Star Platinum was also capable of busting High Priestess' teeth, which were stated to be just as hard as diamond. The World can match Star Platinum in both, and even DIO can react to Stands.
Maverick: The main power of The World though comes from it's ability to stop time itself. Under normal circumstances, DIO can have The World stop time for a maximum of five seconds, but with continued usage and the subsequent healing of the scar around his neck from his head connecting with Jonathan DIO can extend this even further, up to nine seconds by the end of Stardust Crusaders.
Silver: And unlike with Jotaro, who's bound by the five seconds due to time stop being detrimental to a human's stamina, DIO can and will spam this ability in any situation where it'll work in his favour.
Maverick: Sweet!
Silver: The World isn't the only thing DIO has by his side though. Although he lost his previous vampire abilities as a result of becoming one with Jonathan Joestar's body, DIO has still got the ability to create the typical army of vampires and zombies, which he can use as his own undead militia.
Maverick: Vampires in JoJo are very different yet very similar to what a vampire is usually portrayed as in fiction, with superhuman strength and speed AND agility. However, these vampires have variants that can form spikes all over their body and even deceive others by acting as the opposite gender, which Jotaro saw right through!
Pop-Up: The latter is Nukesaku, one of DIO's minions, but the former is used by Wired Beck, who is one of Kars' vampire slaves. As a result, DIO's vampires don't have the same kind of abilities, and are merely stronger and faster
Silver: Most of DIO's vampires are the regular vampires, all except two. Nukesaku is one that can deceive DIO's targets into believing that he's a woman held hostage by DIO, while on the other hand we have Vanilla Ice. No, not the nineties rapper.
Maverick: Thank god.
Silver: Vanilla Ice is incredibly loyal to DIO, and has his own Stand in the form of Cream. Now Cream is a very powerful Stand, with similar overall ability to Okuyasu's Stand, The Hand.
Maverick: So basically Cream here is a portal to another dimension, with said portal located in his mouth. By literally eating Ice himself and even Cream itself, this Stand can effectively become a ball of destruction, which transports matter to the dimension and makes it appear as though the affected matter is completely destroyed. Just look at Avdol for example.
Silver: It also serves as a hiding dimension for Vanilla Ice, yet becoming the "orb of doom" has the slight drawback of Ice being unable to see where he's going, effectively meaning he has to take a peek out, which leaves him vulnerable.
Maverick: As for the obsessive man himself, Vanilla Ice is a vampire, just like DIO is himself, and can be killed by sunlight or enough damage to his head. Also... just don't destroy even as much as an image of DIO in front of him, even that pisses him off! HOW DARE YOU DESTROY LORD DIO'S IMAGE EVEN THOUGH THE REAL DIO IS PERFECTLY FINE!!!
Silver: Exactly like that, which also led into Iggy's death as well. Oh spoiler, by the way. Anyway, going back to DIO, because after all he is the main talking point here, the dastardly monster of the night also has himself other Stands from other counterparts.
Maverick: Yep, because the mad doctor he's up against has a literal god form to talk about, we thought it'd be fair to give DIO some extra godly upgrades. Enter The World Over Heaven.
Silver: The World Over Heaven is a Stand of a different DIO, one in which the villain was instead able to kill the Joestars through eliminating Joseph, Jotaro and by extent, Holy as well. With no more in his way, DIO ended up achieving the ultimate goal he had set out to do, achieve Heaven itself. With this behind him, DIO unlocked The World's limitless potential to become Heaven Ascended DIO.
Maverick: While DIO doesn't gain much in the form of physical enhancements, he certainly gains a lot when it comes down to his abilities, as he gains the ability of Reality Overwrite, more on that in a little bit.
Silver: First off, we need to explain what The World Over Heaven and this version of DIO can do. DIO now can cast lightning bolts from the skies, teleport wherever he chooses to go, corrupt even those who have previously resisted his temptation and even absorb souls! That dimension of his was one that he himself created, and DIO can even show up in any reality he wishes. So overall, very much a god.
Maverick: But wait, there's more! In fact, a lot more. You guys are aware of the Holy Corpse from Part 7: Steel Ball Run, correct? Well, DIO can actually absorb the parts of them to become even more powerful, and these Corpse Parts can gift DIO abilities that the Corpse Parts themselves offer, such as the warping of space, clairvoyance and telepathy.
Pop-Up: Clairvoyance "is the ability to gain information about an object, person, location or physical event through extrasensory perception" - VS Battles Wiki
Silver: Quite simply a massive boost in power from DIO's previous powers, made even greater when he goes ahead and absorbs the power of the Joestar's souls along with the Holy Corpse. Unlike Jotaro, who we said in MegaMan.EXE vs Jotaro (Eyes of Heaven) wouldn't do such a thing as it's out of character and the complete Corpse isn't something he has in his possession, DIO is someone who would steal them all if it means boosting his power.
Maverick: But before we get deep into that, as it upgrades an integral ability of DIO's, we need to cover said intergral ability. We call it the Reality Overwrite. Why'd I lead a steady build up, we outright named it before!
Silver: The Reality Overwrite is a very useful ability for DIO, allowing him to turn his wishes into reality. He can rewrite the existence of someone, and even negate abilities such as Tusk Act 4 and Gold Experience Requiem, being far superior to both of them.
Maverick: This ability has one key weakness though, and that's The World Over Heaven's fists, which need to make contact with a certain thing to rewrite it. However, that's where the Holy Corpse comes into play, as when all of the Corpse is absorbed by DIO, he no longer needs to make contact with something through The World's fists to rewrite reality... yet somehow destroying his hands still works in stopping his powers. Ooooookay then.
Silver: With The World Over Heaven, DIO becomes an all powerful being, but his feats stem from the very beginning of his appearances, dating all the way to Phantom Blood. DIO's Stand, The World, is matched with Jotaro's Star Platinum. In the battle with High Priestess, Star Platinum helped to hold up and even later demolished High Priestess' teeth through punches alone. Said teeth were stated to be just as hard as diamond.
Maverick: So diamonds ARE breakable after all. For so long I thought diamond wasn't crash, but I guess that's my mind changed.
Silver: On top of that, Silver Chariot, a Stand which Star Platinum has fought on even terms, was capable of intercepting a beam of light. Now some people would like to claim that he's much faster, but you need to remember that Polnareff got the light of the Hanged Man to move in a predictable direction. Then again, people also like to claim he's slower than light because of that predictable direction point, but intercepting a beam of light is still intercepting a beam of light.
Maverick: However, don't mistake The World having light speed attacks and reactions for it being to move as fast as light. There's a difference between movement speed, attack speed and reaction speed. Silver Chariot had to react and attack the beam to intercept it, simple as that.
Silver: All of that though is nothing compared to the power of The World Over Heaven. It's a Stand that is beyond Gold Experience Requiem and can rewrite it's own powers of reverting to zero. As a result of being superior, The World is faster than GER, which could move in the midst of erased time.
Maverick: Or what about the time where DIO erased Funny Valentine, the literal president of the United States of America? Or rather, rewrite his existence, but either way Funny Man here didn't exist at all in any way. Which is absolutely broken, especially in the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Silver: DIO was going to straight up rewrite the entire main universe as well to ensure his victory, so DIO is an incredibly powerful character, and certainly a character to be feared by the Joestars. It's a shame that DIO's own issues prevent him from winning, or rather it's lucky that his own issues get in his own way.
Maverick: Well, like we said, even without the need of making contact with a thing to use Overwrite, DIO's fists getting damaged still prevents him from using the powers. Thankfully for him, he has incredible regeneration, so if time is on his side then maybe he can pull himself back, but it's risky.
Silver: He's also not invincible or any stronger than canon DIO and his version of The World either, which for someone who still likes to go for his usual violent style is very detrimental to him in a fight.
Maverick: DIO is also incredibly cocky when it comes to fighting, and has a little bit of a superiority complex. Okay, so maybe "a little" is a big understatement, but you get the idea. He's not immune to paradoxes or anything like that either, as seen when canon DIO's wrist gauntlets were used to destroy Heaven DIO's arms, because when two of the same thing from parallel worlds come into contact with one another, big boom boom happens to the poor character.
Silver: Flaws don't always make a character completely useless though, and in terms of DIO this power is absolutely nothing to be sneered at. Such power and skill is a testament to the fearsome nature of the deadly vampire, and DIO is certainly one of the worst antagonists you could ever come across.
"JoJo, being a human means having limits. I've learned something... The more carefully you scheme, the more unexpected events come along. As long as you're human... I REJECT MY HUMANITY, JOJO!"
Dr. Robotnik[]
Silver: The story as to how Doctor Ovi Kintobor ended up on the entirely animal inhabited world of Mobius is still a very big mystery, with him suddenly being whisked away to the planet while out shopping one day. What was to happen later was unfortunate for a scientist that was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but before we reach that point we need to see the events that led up to that fateful moment.
Maverick: Kintobor arrived on the Emerald Hill Zone and immediately, being the kindly soul he was, set about making the planet of Mobius a better place for all of the inhabitants, who he quickly befriended. Among those was a young brown hedgehog that stumbled across his laboratory, a brown hedgehog calling himself the fastest hedgehog on Mobius. This was none other than Sonic the Hedgehog.
Silver: From their first meeting, Kintobor and Sonic were an inseparable duo, with both becoming fast friends. In return for helping Sonic to steadily increase his super speeds, Kintobor would ask Sonic a favour in his quest to rid Mobius of all evil: find the seventh Grey (with an "E") Emerald and stabilize his Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor. However, while the attempts in finding the emerald were fruitless, boosting Sonic's speeds was not.
Maverick: Basically Kintobor gave Sonic these friction reducing Power Sneakers, and tested them inside his machine, the Kinetic Gyratoscope, specifically designed for testing Sonic's speeds, yet the hedgehog pushed the speed too far, not destroying the machine but instead fusing his quills into five big quills and turning him blue, turning him into the Sonic we all know today. Yet that's not what we're interested in, because that wasn't the only transformation we're gonna bear witness to.
Silver: Kintobor one day felt very hungry, and found nothing but a rotten egg sitting in his refrigerator. Despite the thing being, y'know, rotten, he tried cooking the thing anyway...
Maverick: And tripped up over one of his machine's wires, clashing with a computer panel which caused a string of chain reactions that ended up somehow fusing the egg's rotten nature and round shape with Kintobor himself. Moral of the story, watch out for wires kids!
Pop-Up: In reality, the wire itself was tightened by a future version of Sonic, after time based issues stopped the transformation and saved Kintobor, yet left Mobius in the hands of another threat, in which Sonic had to redo the entire transformation.
Silver: And emerging from the shadows of the laboratory was now Dr. Ivo Robotnik, the evil opposite to Sonic the Hedgehog. Fun fact, this one backstory is actually inspired by a previously written backstory in the "Sonic Bible". Yes, there's actually a Sonic Bible.
Maverick: W-Wait, what!? Okay, so anyway, kindly ol' professor Kintobor here was now the dastardly and evil Dr. Robotnik, who under his new name and appearance decided to become the biggest of dicks and plot to take over Mobius and turn it into a polluted wasteland in his image, patrolled by robots of all sorts working under his payroll.
Silver: From the beginning, it was all a massive hill to climb for Robotnik. Every attempt of his in taking over Mobius was foiled time and time again by the speedy blue blur he had inadvertently created, Sonic, and things were fortunately looking very grim for his supposed empire.
Maverick: Until Ro-butt-nik here decided to force this computer screen being thingy called the Omni-Viewer to force Sonic and his friends into the future for six entire months, paving the way clear for this dastardly mustache twirler to reduce the planet to a polluted husk, the opposite of what Kintobor wanted.
Silver: To be viewed as such a dangerous person, Robotnik had to make sure that he was equipped with everything technologically possible to take the fight to Sonic and his Freedom Fighter buddies... not those Freedom Fighters, these Freedom Fighters.
Maverick: Who the hell is that buff pig dude and that buff rabbit dude wearing jeans... and why's Amy holding a crossbow pointed right at the screen!? Reminds me of... (shudders)... Penders...
Silver: Just to be clear, that is not Penders, those are Sonic the Comic's Freedom Fighters, who would go on to prove themselves to be a pain in Robotnik's backside. Thankfully for the doctor though, he was already more than well equipped to tackle the Freedom Fighters head-on, all thanks to his large army of Badniks.
Maverick: Now most of these lil' Badnik creatures are similar to the ones you'd typically see in Sonic games, such as your Moto Bugs, Buzz Bombers, et cetera. However, these kinds of robots have far more aggressive nature to them, and at one point some Badniks would even try to EAT the Mobians, which obviously doesn't work.
Silver: Moto Bugs for example have shown instances of having more flexible slicers compared to the game variety, and are even battle smart. As is the case with Buzz Bombers, who don't just stay in place, shoot and then fly off, they actually try swooping down and bombarding foes with enemy fire.
Maverick: You also have your usual Orbinauts, the Ball Hogs that shoot bombs from their bodies, the Bat Brains that swoop down to cause trouble, and even an unholy abomination that is the fusion of the latter duo. Six month future Robotnik also had Badnik Tanks that were so durable even Sonic had trouble breaking them apart.
Pop-Up: Said robots weren't too smart, and ended up firing at each other when looking for targets, often destroying themselves.
Silver: In short, Robotnik comes prepared with his usual video game Badniks, but believe me when I say that, like DIO's vampire minions, there are far worse Badniks out there. Take for example, Commander Brutus.
Maverick: Brutus' armour, the Megatal armour, is immensely durable and capable of withstanding numerous assaults from the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog himself. On top of that, Brutus is also just as intelligent as Dr. Robotnik himself, being incredibly cunning and battle smart.
Silver: And that's not all Commander Brutus is capable of, as he can also view the infrared spectrum and see through solid objects. He can even fly, and ever since he had severely damaged his hand in a battle with Sonic, he has used a repaired version of his hand fitted with a powerful laser gun for distance attacks.
Maverick: Ooooh, I want someone like Brutus for my eventual army and takeover.
Silver: Well, as ambitious... wait, don't tell me that you're gonna go Maverick on us all! I thought the Maverick name was just for an ironic touch considering you're a Reploid.
Maverick: Aw come on, I was just kiddin'! Maybe.
Silver: Well, whatever. Still, as ambitious as that sounds, trying to sway a Badnik as tough as him on your side, you do need to remember that Brutus is very much capable of betraying Robotnik at any point. He's went behind Robotnik's back before, wanting to claim the world for his own.
Maverick: But luckily, he is willing to help out Robotnik's schemes should another threat to Brutus' potential rule appear alongside the good doctor. As you might be seeing today.
Silver: A very similar case is the chief helper of Dr. Robotnik, the goblin creature known as Grimer. Grimer, much like Robotnik, is an intelligent scientist, and Robotnik's second in command of his army, with a huge disregard for life on top of being the second hand to the most wretched villain Sonic has ever faced.
Maverick: But Grimer is just as capable of being a dangerous antagonist as Robotnik himself, with Grimer being the main mind behind the creation of Metal Sonic, or in this timeline at least, Metallix.
Silver: Now to be clear about Metallix here, there are actually numerous versions of Metallix out there, collectively known as the Brotherhood of Metallix. These Metallix are part of their own team, and are not a part of Robotnik's army despite Grimer being the one to create them.
Maverick: And the original Metallix model, AKA the Metal Sonic from Sonic CD, was erased from existence due to some paradox thingy regarding the Time Stone and all... it's complicated.
Pop-Up: Even one of the artists for the story is somewhat confused by how this paradox supposedly worked.
Silver: However, there is indeed one Metallix that, unlike the rest, is completely loyal to Dr. Robotnik and Grimer, and this is known as the "Knuckles Metallix", designed after, you guessed it, Knuckles the Echidna. The Knuckles Metallix has been the "above all else" Metallix since his creation, having faced Sonic a few times and having won a majority of their encounters.
Maverick: Yep, two of the three one on one encounters between the duo have resulted in Metallix Knux winning, despite lacking Knuckles' climbing and gliding abilities. He also doesn't have the speed to keep up with Sonic either, preferring raw power over swift movement. What it lacks in speed it also makes up for in his torso laser cannon for long distance attacks.
Silver: A technological marvel indeed, but who needs technology when Robotnik can easily use the powers of the seven Chaos Emeralds.
Maverick: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Robotnik can use the Chaos Emeralds.
Silver: Not just merely use them, Maverick, Dr. Robotnik can actually become an all powerful deity using their power. In this state, you can forget the name of Dr. Ivo Robotnik, because you've now seen him become... God Robotnik!
Maverick: Holy shit... Robotnik actually becomes a literal god!?
Silver: Yes, and his powers in this form are nothing short of extraordinary. For starters, in his God form Dr. Robotnik is an omnipresent being, being able to show up any time, anywhere, almost like a Nintendo Switch, which makes sense as he's everywhere all at once due to, no duh, his omnipresence.
Maverick: That's not actually it either, God Robotnik has limited omniscience, with him being able to see everything in the past and the present simultaneously. One time, Dr. Robotnik was able to hear two Mobians complaining about the takeover, and when one said "at least it's not raining", BOOM, rain starts falling. Robotnik hears everything and sees everything.
Silver: He can also age people forwards and even backwards, grow to such immense sizes that a planet like Mobius is nothing but a bouncy ball in his hand, warp reality into anything he sees fit, such as universes based on Wile E. Coyote and Peter Pan, and even erase the existence of beings from people's memories. For example, Sonic's existence was wiped from the memories of everyone like Amy Rose and Johnny Lightfoot, who upon meeting Sonic couldn't recognize him at all.
Maverick: He can warp history too, has petrification allowing him to turn people to stone, can nullify the powers of an opponent or outright erase them, give an aged Sonic arthritis and even turn intangible! I can't wait until we follow up that Sonic Battle Royale with the Eggman one, because that's gonna be fire!
Silver: Certainly will be, I can assure you that. However, God Robotnik is certainly not invincible by any means. Well... he is, but he's got a key weakness: The Grey Emerald, a Chaos Emerald that can nullify the power of the Chaos Emeralds as a whole. This means that forms of power nullification can take away Robotnik's godly abilities, but good luck even being able to keep up with him.
Maverick: That's because God Robotnik loves to fuck with reality to throw his opponents in all sorts of crazy situations, thus confusing them and throwing them off. Remember the Road Runner and Peter Pan stuff from earlier, yeah, Robotnik has warped reality so that he became a vampire to Sonic being a vampire slayer, then he turned the universe into a fish universe, and so on. He's so powerful that he can warp the entire Special Zone, an entire universe separate to the main universe, which Robotnik can also warp.
Silver: Overall, Dr. Robotnik is a very dangerous antagonist to Sonic the Hedgehog, and quite possibly the most overpowered version of Dr. Eggman/Robotnik to date, assuming the battle royale of them all ends up with Fleetway's Robotnik being the victor. And his feats, both in and out of his God form, are nothing short of brilliant for a man like him!
Maverick: But don't mistake unrelenting power for perfection, Dr. Robotnik is far from a perfect villain. It's been many years since Sonic started getting the better of him, and this has forced Robotnik to become suicidal in his approach to villainy, having gone completely mad. Probably something to do with his god form or whatnot.
Silver: This insanity also leads to Robotnik's overconfidence, allowing people like Sonic and Knuckles to get the drop on him. On top of that, we have the aforementioned Grey Emerald depowering his God form, and on top of that Robotnik's own robots can just as easily turn against him.
Maverick: But despite his imperfections, Dr. Robotnik is more than certainly a dangerous foe to face in battle. He's effectively got an entire militia on top of a reality screwing, omnipresent god form that he can easily access through the Chaos Emeralds, meaning that you really need to be on top of your game in order to defeat him.
Silver: The lesson here is to not underestimate the evil genius that is Dr. Ivo Robotnik.
"Citizens of Mobius! Heed my words! The so-called "revolution" is over! I am still your master! Over the last few months, I have been foolish enough to share my power with another. I have now rectified that mistake! The recent battle has been a learning experience. You have all learnt to fear me even more... for you know I am invincible... and I have learnt never to trust anyone with my responsibilities! I will rule this planet! Mobius is mine... forever!"
Death Battle[]
Silver: Alright, the combatants are set, and we've run the data through all possibilities.
Maverick: It's time for a Death Battle!
Nighttime in the streets of the Sunshine Valley Zone, as what was to be a peaceful night for the civilians who had just recently been subjected to a Badnik attack was instead another one filled with carnage and chaos. Typically, you'd expect "carnage" and "chaos" to be words attributed with Badniks, but instead it was no mere robotic henchmen at the helm. The shadows of homes made by the moonlight shining down on the town hid the cause of the problem, with nothing but the sounds of draining being heard from within.
"You have done a good deed in offering yourself up to me, dear lady..." the voice, despite belonging to the attacker, said ever so calmly you couldn't help but resist his "charms" no matter how much of a facade it was. The culprit threw the victim out to the ground in front of him, the female cat having two large holes in her neck, dripping out what little blood she had left. It formed a puddle around her, which Dio Brando, emerging from the shadows to reveal himself, looked at and smirked. "You were lucky to keep what you had left." he said, as the woman, despite being very close to death, backed away, clutching her neck in pain and crying, both at the pain and in fear of DIO, who merely watched.
In a flash, DIO vanished from sight, scaring the woman into a heart attack, in which she immediately died from. Behind her, atop a lamppost, DIO stood, watching the citizens, mostly consisting of anthropomorphic cats, dogs and ducks, crowd around the woman's body, examining the situation. "These Mobians... they are much like the human beings back home. Hmmmmm, maybe they might be suitable for my plans." he told himself, quietly as so not to alert the rest of the group. However, his train of thought was disturbed when screaming could be heard from the whole group, or rather... cheering?
"Who dares?" DIO asked, as a duck masquerading as a superhero showed up on the scene, pointing at DIO himself as the townsfolk turned to see the vampire standing atop the lamppost. "You there, foul fiend!" Ultra-Duck, the fraudulent superhero called out as he walked towards DIO, who's attention he had captured, telling the citizens to "Never fear, because the REAL heroes are here." Really, this was all part of his scheme to overthrow the real heroes of this world for defeating his former employer, and to overthrow the heroes and ruin their fame, he had to come off as better. Too bad he wasn't a real hero, so his best option was bribing DIO into defeat. Unveiling a large wad of cash to DIO, who watched from above, Ultra-Duck tried to fake a victory.
"Hey, listen. I'll give ya a few Mobiums if you leave and say I won the battle." he tried persuading, only for DIO to suddenly flash out of existence. The crowd gasped, unaware of what had happened, but aware of DIO's current standing point, as Ultra-Duck slowly turned around and let a loud "QUACK" escape from his beak, as DIO's Stand, The World, gripped him tightly by the neck, with everyone else unable to see the invisible presence, including Ultra-Duck who was just as weirded out as everyone else. "Never have I been so insulted, nor ready to take a man's blood. Duck is fine meat back home, and I wouldn't be opposed to having a feast once I eliminate you all and reduce this planet to grovelling for me, DIO!" he warned the duck, with said "hero" shivering in fear.
The sounds of actual terror induced screaming interrupted DIO's actions, however, as a hovering mechanical sound could be heard from behind him. The World let go of Ultra-Duck, punching a hole clean through his body and sending said body flying backwards, crashing into a barn door as the Mobian duck body slumped to the ground against it, blood leaking heavily from his abdomen. A voice boomed from the machine, it's windows fogged up like the windows of the second pod next to it, announcing the presence of a challenger. "Take over the planet and have everyone grovel before you. Hahahahahaha, not on my watch you won't!" it said, with DIO whispering "And who determines that?" as he questioned the identity of the man and his assistant.
"I do." the evil villain said, revealing his face in the pod as being none other than Dr. Ivo Robotnik, alongside his chief scientist, Grimer. "This world belongs to my empire, and I shall not have another pretender from Earth take up that mantle. I am Dr. Ivo Robotnik, the greatest scientific genius in the world!" he announced to the vampire, who growled. "You dare prevent me from achieving my ultimate goal!? Ha... gods cannot be defeated by mere science, and I, DIO, am a god in the making!!!" he barked proudly, with The World making it's presence known by his side, which Robotnik and Grimer could not notice, but felt a shiver down their spines as if two pairs of eyes were watching.
"You? A god?" Grimer asked, before both him and Robotnik howled in laughter. "If you are a 'god in the making', as you say, then allow me and my master here to eliminate you before you reach that status." the goblin creature continued after the laughter ceased, with Robotnik smiling evilly. "Your goal is to rule over a world of mere animals, a joke of a dream and nothing more than a coward trying to become all powerful." DIO told the evil genius
This was the last straw for Robotnik, who warned DIO of where he believed he stood above the would-be dictator. "Enough of this insolent chatter, none of this will matter once we have you eliminated and bowing before us. If you refuse, however, you shall be victim to a much worse fate. You decide. Grimer, watch on and try and decipher his tricks. In the meantime..." he said, stopping to let his Egg-Mobile (Egg-o-Matic in StC) shoot out its iconic ball and chain, readying itself for a battle, "...allow me to hold off this pest until reinforcements arrive."
"On it effective immediately, Robotnik sir!" said Grimer, as he obeyed his master's orders and hovered higher in the air. DIO's plan was to shout "ZA WARU-" and deliver a swift kill to Grimer, but he was cut off by the ball and chain shooting off towards him at incredible speeds. The World had to swoop in and catch the ball, but the force was too much, as it sent DIO crashing backwards. He stood up from his hands and knees as soon as he stopped, and hissed like a vampire at Robotnik, who merely chuckled in amusement. "Go on and engage my brilliant technological marvel of a machine, I fully expect it."
FIGHT!!!
DIO rushed after Robotnik, who tilted his machine backwards and threw its lower end into the air to send the wrecking ball towards the vampire, with The World throwing itself forward and punching the ball with incredible force. Of course, being a physically incredible JoJo's Stand, The World threw more attacks not long after, rapid strikes followed by yells of "MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!!!" which exaggerated DIO's attempts to break the machine's weapon. Again, like before, the force was incredible, as even though The World busted open the wrecking ball, sending its minuscule remains scattering all over the ground, the chain was thrown back so far that when it came forward it struck DIO right in the face, breaking his nose and leaving it to gush out blood, pushing him back a little bit. "My own blood... how dare you attack I, DIO!!!" he roared, with the space left by DIO's little stumble giving the Egg-o-Matic time to unleash its gatling guns and missile launchers, with the guns firing first.
The bullets were as hard as they were fast, but nothing to The World, who simply moved his hands all over the place and subsequently catching them. DIO then disappeared from sight, showing up behind Robotnik's machine while hovering in the air, a small hint as to what DIO was underneath his normal appearance. "Master Robotnik!" yelled out Grimer, as Dr. Robotnik's Egg-o-Matic rotated only for the cockpit window to be punched multiple times by The World, launching it back with one all powerful punch. It spun and spun, but Robotnik managed to control the thing before it crashed into the deceased Ultra-Duck and the barn on top of that, and unleashed the machine's claws to combat DIO's Stand, which Robotnik was now aware of. "That invisible presence of yours won't last for long." Robotnik told DIO, who simply moved to the side as the approaching claw tried slicing at The World with as much force as it could handle, DIO being all too aware of it.
The Egg-o-Matic blasted off to DIO, its claw returning to normal length again. It sliced and diced not at DIO, but The World, who was where Robotnik predicted but wasn't at all being affected by it. "Hahahahahaha, you really think you can hurt The World!?" DIO cockily laughed aloud, as he vanished and disappeared behind Robotnik's machine again. The Egg-Mobile wasn't suitable for this type of combat, as The World crunched its fist into the top of the cockpit and sent it crashing to the ground, with DIO landing to have his Stand punch it from behind, sending it flying forward through a small cottage house. "Your mere machine is nothing compared to a god, doctor. In fact, it cannot be called a great machine if it is nothing more than a joke to the power of The World!!!"
"Oh really?" Robotnik called out from the cottage house's rubble, the dead Mobians' hands sticking out from them like zombies rising from their graves. "Then what is not considered a 'joke' to your so-called amazing power?" he taunted, as the Egg-Mobile crawled out and began firing missiles at DIO, heat seeking and locked on solely to him. "Projectiles are a coward's way out!" he yelled to Robotnik, taking off after the missles. However, DIO was from a time not accustomed to such weapons yet, and as such he found out the hard way what such explosive modern day weaponry could do to a man. The first missile of three was punched by The World, but the resulting explosion threw DIO backwards like a ragdoll, his arm and leg along with it. The second and third only did much worse, as the missiles were remotely detonated by the scientist in his vehicle, close to DIO rather than directly being in his face, and the resulting explosions scarred DIO's skin heavily, as he was thrown further and further away before crashing through not only the barn, but the farmhouse behind it as well, killing the old man inside and leaving his wife distraught.
The woman rushed towards the body of her loved one, but DIO, lying on the ground missing an arm and a leg, stopped her in her tracks. "Hey, woman." he spoke with a monotone voice. The woman shrieked in fear, as DIO was going to order her to fetch his arm and leg. However, unlike the Jotaro battle, this time DIO wasn't so lucky, as Dr. Robotnik's Egg-Mobile came crashing through the home, ripping through it like toilet paper and having the rubble collapse on the victims, with the other end of the home being victim to having an egg shaped hole in it before its fall and following crushing of the innocent duo. The Egg-Mobile stopped in place, throwing DIO off the front of it and forcing him to crash along the ground, his arm and leg landing by him and a trail of blood being left behind.
"Never have I ever seen someone so foolish to jump into missiles!" Grimer laughed, only for Robotnik to yell at him to "SHUT UP AND GIVE ME THE DATA!!!" Grimer obliged, and informed his master of DIO. "It appears that he has an invisible force by his side, and you can't hit it. He also has teleportation, or so it seems. When he does this, time appears distorted for a brief second, almost as if..."
"I am stopping time." DIO said smirking, clapping slowly and sarcastically at the discovery. "I shall admit, none have deciphered The World's ability so easily... but that does not matter, nor does your knowledge!" DIO emerged from the shadows, his yellow jacket removed and his arm and leg reattached, with Grimer being quick to point this out. "Alongside his burns having healed, he also seems to have reattachable..." Robotnik swiftly and loudly interrupted, "I CAN SEE THAT GRIMER!" as DIO slowly walked forwards, with Robotnik having his machine guns ready in the Egg-o-Matic in case DIO made a move. However, Grimer interrupted the proceedings, warning his master. "Um... I would suggest calling upon your Badniks immediately Dr. Robotnik, they are now ready." with Robotnik agreeing. DIO, I would suggest turning tail and running away, for my back-up brigade are on their way. Your choice." the madman tried to reason, only for DIO to clap his hands twice in quick succession, an army of zombies and vampires coming out from the shadows with him. "Intriguing, however..." he softly spoke, contrary to his tone for the rest of the battle.
"...mine have already arisen and arrived."
Robotnik and Grimer watched as DIO's undead militia charged forwards, hoping to overwhelm Robotnik through raw power and sheer numbers. The zombies and vampires jumped high into the air, as DIO watched on at them trying to rip apart Robotnik's machine. One zombie Mobian landed atop the cockpit window, and tried slamming his fist into it, but the blinding lights of the machine guns firing threw him off. Others struggled in vain to avoid the bullets firing off in all directions, however they simply healed up and got back up again. "I suggest heavy fire, Robotnik sir." Grimer informed his leader, who simply fired a missile into a large group rushing for his head, ripping them apart with ease. However, the attacks landing on his Egg-Mobile were far too much for the weapons to get rid of, and the addition of Mobian bee vampires kamikaze diving for the cockpit told Robotnik that his trusty contraption was no longer a safety net...
"Buzz Bombers, fire at will!" called out Grimer, to Robotnik's rescue, as the Buzz Bombers of Robotnik's fleet fired powerful laser blasts that ripped through the Mobian birds and bees and sent them crashing to the ground. Moto Bugs came charging in, slicing and dicing the zombies' flesh with absolute ease, one even going so far as to hop high into the air and rip through the head of a vampire atop Robotnik's glass cockpit, immediately killing it. Orbinauts fired spiked balls that tore through the torsos of several zombies and vampires like paper, and Ball Hogs and Bat Hogs threw bombs from their torsos, causing large groups of zombies and vampires to be ripped apart into many pieces, ending them too. Robotnik hovered backwards away from the action, hovering next to Grimer with a heavily damaged Egg-Mobile.
"I must admit, you for once put your mind to good use, Grimer." Robotnik applauded, the secondary scientist merely folding his arms. "No sweat, he has no scientific mind to appreciate like we do." he joked about DIO. Shame Grimer couldn't see that DIO was atop his own pod, and the genius was grappled by The World around the neck and thrown to the ground below, miraculously surviving the high fall. However, this left him prey for the zombies that broke through the defences, and among them was a nigh-invisble ball tearing through the ground. Vanilla Ice had made his presence known to the battle, and under DIO's unseen orders it was his job to dispose of Grimer like nothing.
"How dare you mock Lord DIO, now you will be next on my hit list for doing such a heinous thing!" he roared out, with the ball leaving a trail behind him, the ground he was treading having its matter ripped from its grasp. Grimer wasn't an idiot though, and upon seeing its trail he dived out of the way, with another bad guy getting near him. Thankfully, this was Grimer's own planned reinforcement, as he had such a plan ready in case this problem were to happen to him specifically, and the solution came in the form of Metallix Knuckles. "I am okay, Master Robotnik, and as for you..." he pointed to Ice and his Stand, Cream, as the matter eating ball came for him again, "...enjoy Metallix Mark III while you last!"
Grimer took evasive action, and called upon his pod to pick him up again, but DIO had other ideas. "HAHAHAHA, IT'S A ROAD ROLLER!!!" he yelled, as Robotnik, in his machine, was being thrown straight towards Grimer in an attempt to crush the goblin, and DIO's tactic worked. "Oh... I've wasted my life..." he said, as the thrown Egg-Mobile (which DIO said was a road roller for some reason) splattered Grimer into bloody pieces. The resulting impact (obviously) killed Grimer and threw Robotnik out towards Vanilla Ice, who had escaped Metallix MkIII's attack and was fast approaching Robotnik himself. However, the mad scientist, despite his round shape, was able to move out of the way, however his nearly totalled Egg-Mobile was not so lucky.
Or so it seemed, as it somehow threw Ice backwards, the matter eating ball Stand now spitting out its vampire user. It was an incredibly bright set of lights, and all seven gems, the cause of this phenomenon, sparkled with a power that was enough to shoo away negative forces like Ice, leaving the vampire open for a laser blast through the chest coming straight from Metallix MkIII, killing the vampire as the energy surged through his entire body and blew open Ice's head. The battle between the armies was now officially over and done with, with Metallix Knuckles having overloaded on too much energy that he self-destructed, the Badniks having being totalled and the undead minions having been subdued permanently. This left DIO and Robotnik left, the madman sat on the ground and dusted himself off while DIO simply stood and smiled.
Dr. Robotnik got up and walked slowly towards DIO, who devilishly grinned. "Oh, so you're app..." he tried to say, only for Robotnik to do something no one would ever expect Robotnik to do... punch his enemy square in the jaw, before doing the same on the opposite side. Holding his hands together like his fists were forming a hammer, he then belted DIO in the face as hard as he could, the vampire himself being so shocked that he couldn't even bring out The World.
DIO stumbled with blood leaking out from his nose, but Robotnik's brief offense was nothing to The World, who shouted "ZA WARUDO!!!" as time stopped all around him. Such a shame." DIO began speaking to the frozen Robotnik. "All of that machinery hides a scared soul, believing he can stop a god. Ha...hahahahahahahaha, that is the most pathetic piece of rat shit I have ever bear witness to in my life, YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A MERE HUMAN BEING IVO, A MERE MONKEY, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" he bellowed out in triumphant glee, as reality then crumbled to pieces, leaving everything left to become a purple void. "I WAS SIMPLY LEADING YOU ON, I HAVE ACHIEVED HEAVEN, I WAS A GOD THIS WHOLE TIME!!!" he finished, with DIO's true form coming to light. The World and DIO now had ghost white skin, with DIO gaining longer flowing blond hair and clothing suited for a god like him while The World's eyes were now white also.
Time itself resumed, with The World Over Heaven punching an incredibly large hole in Dr. Robotnik's body, before erasing him from existence with the power of Reality Overwrite. "This is my power, you cannot compare!" DIO finally finished his speech, as he smiled in victory. However, upon the sight of no noticeable blood before the body was wiped from the face of the Earth baffled DIO. What stunned him even more were the remains of sand. "W-What? How can this be?" he questioned, as an omnipresent voice echoes throughout the entire infinite void DIO had created. "You are not the only one who is a god, DIO." the voice, a very familiar one at that, told the vampire. "I myself have experience with being a deity, and let me inform you of something. In this form... there is no victory against me. Like many others, you may call me..."
Dr. Robotnik appeared from nowhere, with DIO and The World Over Heaven turning to face him. "...God Robotnik."
God Robotnik and Heaven Ascended DIO locked eyes with each other, fully murderous intentions echoing through their godly minds. "Nothing more than a false pretender with the faintest hope of godhood. Hmmph, you really are a waste of my time." said Robotnik, as DIO flew towards Robotnik with The World Over Heaven throwing a barrage of punches, echoes of MUDA following them. However, DIO's eyes shot open when the final punch of The World went straight through Robotnik as if he were a ghost. "What in the..." DIO pondered, only for reality to bend and warp until... he was a ball. "W-What are you doing to me!?" DIO howled in angry confusion, as he was now a pinball in a pinball machine, and Robotnik was the player. The flippers struck DIO hard as the ball was shot into the main part of the machine, and it hit many different things. Luckily, DIO's pain was short lived, as The World Over Heaven emerged and reversed everything.
DIO had The World summon down bolts of lightning, hoping to strike Robotnik with incredible power. Unfortunately, each bolt was reduced to nothing more than a single soccer ball falling to the ground, bouncing away as Robotnik snapped his fingers. "You do not fully comprehend this power." he told the god vampire, who spotted Robotnik behind him and had The World Over Heaven try to strike him with an incredible strike to the jaw. Unfortunately, Robotnik suddenly... wasn't there. In fact, he wasn't anywhere.
"You insolent fool, you do not understand the power of THE WORLD, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!" as DIO had The World Over Heaven try and erase the existence of Robotnik there and then. "Ah ah ah, my adversary, you cannot erase what is above your paygrade." Robotnik kept taunting, his scheme being to drag DIO into madness. However, DIO kept trying, the power of the Holy Corpse running through The World in any attempt possible to get the better of Robotnik.
"Grrrrr... if you are so called "godly", then you wouldn't be so cowardly you little shit!" DIO hissed, Robotnik merely chuckling away. "My my, such profanity. This is not cowardice, sir. Allow me to explain omnipresence to you."
"Omnipresence... everywhere at one time, only capable of being interacted with if the user wishes. May I present to you an example?" Robotnik asked in his faked kindly tone, as he suddenly messed with reality again and held DIO in place by turning him to stone. Robotnik appeared in his normal size in front of the vampire, and armed with a hammer he gently knocked the statue of the enemy, to which it responded by crumbling to the ground. However, this was not the end of Robotnik's fun.
"W-What!?" DIO cried in confusion, as Robotnik stood in front of his eyes, standing from a distance. DIO flew over so fast that time itself couldn't keep up with him, but to Robotnik faster than time was a joke. Every time DIO and his Stand got close to attack with Reality Overwrite, Robotnik would move further away, almost as though he was trapping DIO in an endless chase. Needless to say, it was trippy, but what was even more mind bending was when DIO suddenly started falling through rainbow coloured wavy patterns, seeing many things. Many ways he could be killed at any moment through Robotnik's reality ransacking.
Crushed by a giant anvil, ripped apart atomically, his own Stand warping him out of existence, even a carbon copy of Jotaro killing DIO. Hell, even Jonathan appeared in one of them, turning into a giant sun that baked the vampire Dio of the past to death. There were many ways Robotnik could kill him at any moment, and this started getting to DIO's head. He clutched at his head, clawing into his skin. Flesh turned to blood, and everything was becoming hazy for DIO, until he remember about what the Holy Corpse could do for him.
The World never needed to punch to warp reality, and DIO used this to good effect as he attempted to snatch away Robotnik's powers. "If you are really a god, then how about I take away everything from you!? All this power belongs only to I, D-" only to be interrupted as he speech was taken away and he was forced to sleep.
DIO awoke in a black void, back to his original self. Not even his vampiric self, he was now a regular human being again. "W-What the hell did you do to me!?! I, DIO, WILL BE THE ONE T-"
DIO's limbs began peeling apart, his arms, his legs, his body and even his eyes, nose, mouth and ears fell off him, leaving only his head. "WHATTHEFUCKHAVEYOUDONETOMEEEEEEE!!!" he cried out to whoever or whatever he could, to no avail. Somehow, Robotnik was doing all of this without even having to blink. "ZA WARUDO!!!" Dio screamed, only for nothing to happen. The World, Reality Overwrite... all of it had gone. It had been nothing more than a long curbstomp, and there was no way back for DIO by this point. The black void with its only prisoner was zoomed out of, and beyond that was Robotnik, with an innumerable number of DIOs in their own black voids being eliminated. "So many ways to perish. Now, what were you, a vampire? Let's correct that."
Needless to say, that Dio was one of many, the real Dio was hovering in space in Robotnik's vicinity, held in place by shadows based on Dio's enemies. "What to do with the real you then?" Robotnik told himself, reading Dio's mind to try and find something that worried him in the past. "Ah ha! You are immortal as a vampire, of course you are."
"Let... go of me you moronic imbecile!" Dio ordered, but Robotnik just waved his finger in front of DIO's face. "Sorry, you don't get to speak to a god in that manner or tone. Now, if we take away your immortality..."
Dio's body slowly started to wither away into nothing. A man eternally in his twenties suddenly evolved into an elderly man in his eighties, and then hundreds. 114 years of age, not even Dio's actual age, was when his body started to rot and fall apart, before it crumbled into nothing but a skull and bones as it finally reached the hundred and twenties. "And that, my friend, is why you never talk down to a god."
KO!
Results[]
Maverick: Well... that was a mind bending ending. What the fuck just happened?"
Silver: Long story, almost as long as the explaining we're going to have to do just to prove that yes, DIO is indeed killable despite the presence of The World Over Heaven. But before we reach the god aspect of the results, we do need to confirm that, in a full on squad battle, Dr. Robotnik would still be the winner of the battle.
Maverick: With their standard equipment, DIO would be massively outclassed by the combination of Robotnik's machines, Robotnik himself, Commander Brutus and Metallix Mark III. Robotnik alone, in the Egg-o-Matic, would be no problem for DIO, as his reliance on using time stop would be a factor allowing him to easily get atop the Egg-Mobile-o-Matic whatever and wail on Robotnik's glass dome. With the strength of The World, Robotnik would be crunched into a tin can in mere punches.
Silver: However, Robotnik on his own would be removing a vast majority of what is considered "standard equipment" to him, as his Badniks are standard help for him in a battle that he can call upon in no time. A regular Death Battle would be DIO and The World against the Robotnik Empire, and while he certainly was faster with The World's attack speeds and reactions compared to even base Fleetway Sonic, DIO's strength and durability would be ineffective against the likes of Commander Brutus and Metallix, who have held their own in a battle with Sonic physically many times.
Maverick: But it's not just "equals in battle means they scale". Over their battles, Sonic has only out-muscled Mecha whatever Knuckles once, and he's never physically gotten the better of Commander Brutus at all, often relying on his hated Super Sonic form to stand a good chance. Now let's compare what DIO scales to, to what Brutus and Metallix could beat.
Silver: DIO's best feat of strength is from The World, who is physically on par with Star Platinum, who could burst open High Priestess' teeth with the stated durability of being as "hard as diamond". Taking this statement literally, Star Platinum's strength would come out at around 0.0089 tons of TNT. Impressive, but compare that to a feat from Sonic that both Brutus and Metallix have shown they could overpower.
Maverick: And that would be Sonic's feat of kicking a monitor into outer space, past the moon and everything. Now, this feat, assuming the monitor was made from plastic as a lowball, would total to around 24 tons of TNT. See the massive fucking distance between the two, DIO would be nutty to go after THAT!
Silver: In terms of speed, however, DIO took an edge. Sonic is able to run around half of a planet at Mach 12,979, but compared to Star Platinum getting the better of the light speed reacting Silver Chariot, which The World can match, DIO is faster, but not by too much where it'd be a blitz.
Maverick: But doesn't that make it one-one between the two, because DIO's own army of zombies and vampires, seeing as we had them included too, were just as badly screwed.
Silver: Well, Vanilla Ice did have a helpful hand in potentially securing DIO's chances, but when his targets are not only faster than he is, seeing as he has no suitable and solid evidence to use in scaling to DIO's speed, and he couldn't see while in the matter eating ball form, he had no chance here either, especially considering he leaves himself open when peeking from Cream, which faster foes like Commander Brutus could take advantage of from a safe distance.
Maverick: So alone, DIO would win, with armies or standard equipment, Robotnik would win. This left us with one thing left on the cards. Who's gonna win between their godly forms, the reality rewriting Heaven Ascended DIO, or the omnipresent reality player known as God Robotnik.
Silver: And for that, the answer was simple. God Robotnik was an omnipresent being. Compare that to DIO, who's Stand The World Over Heaven has infinite speed from being superior to Gold Experience Requiem. Omnipresence is not merely a speed, but a state of being that exists everywhere, anywhere, all at once, only able to be interacted with should they want to be. All DIO had to do was land a punch on Robotnik, but...
Maverick: He either just lets the hand phase through him like nothing, as he did to Sonic here, or he could just show up somewhere else. Or create a clone of himself. Or a hundred.
Silver: Anything Robotnik could do, DIO could do, but Robotnik could do it better. And that's the key word here, "better". DIO used the Reality Overwrite to try and recreate the universe in his own image, while erasing Funny Valentine on the side, while being able to negate the use of powers. Robotnik uses his reality warping in various creative ways, messing with his opponents while not being able to negate abilities like DIO does. Instead, Robotnik goes one better, he erases powers.
Maverick: And good luck to DIO, he could mess reality and erase with an action rather than straight up punching, but Robotnik doesn't need any actions. The dude can fuck you up with a single lone thought. And while Robotnik likes to toy with his opponents using his power, so does DIO. In the end, it was between who could pull off their shenanigans first, and the thought based power and omnipresence told us that for Robotnik, this was child's play.
Silver: DIO was certainly a god in his own right, but simply put, Robotnik was beyond what DIO considered as being "godly". Robotnik sucked the win away from DIO in the same way a vampire sucks blood from a victim, and up against a foe like him, there was only gonna be one god to emerge from the battle.
The winner is Dr. Robotnik

Introduction[]
Wiz: Dio Brando, the narcissistic nemesis of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Boomstick: Doctor Robotnik, deranged dictator from Fleetway's Sonic the Comic!
Wiz: Godhood is what these two seek, the elimination of their lifelong arch-nemeses not enough to satiate their desire to achieve absolute power.
Boomstick: But in reaching said power, they make themselves prime candidates for a kick-ass fight to the death, and that's where we step in! He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!
Wiz: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win... a DEATH BATTLE!
Dio Brando[]
Wiz: Tell me, Boomstick, when I ask you to name me the most heartless criminals of the Victorian era, who are the first people to come to mind?
Boomstick: Well, I ain’t no history nut, Wiz, but even I’ve heard of the notorious Jack the Ripper and infamous child murderer Amelia Dyer. Why?
Wiz: Well, what if I told you that, even at a time where folk as depraved as them were at large, there was a boy even more callous and cruel than the both of them combined?
Boomstick: I’d say you were lying, but I’d quickly be eating my words upon the mention of the name 'Dio Brando'.
Wiz: Born to notorious highwayman Dario Brando, Dio was physically abused by his drunkard father throughout his childhood.
Boomstick: You’d expect this to turn Dio into a man as callous as his father, but nope! In fact, Dio was quite the academic, reading, studying and fighting for himself on the mean streets of North East London against men twice, maybe even thrice his age!
Wiz: And it was this ingeniousness that Dio took advantage of, poisoning the dying Dario with a black market 'medicine' and promising his father to become a better man than he ever was.
Boomstick: And hey, it seems that Dio avoided drawing the short straw! Following Dario’s death, Dio was adopted by George Joestar, a very rich man who owed a debt to the senior Brando for, 'ahem', 'saving his life' many years ago.
Wiz: At least, that’s what George believed as he caught Dario attempting to rob him following a crash that took the lives of his wife and driver.
Boomstick (Sarcastic): Oh, no, not the driver. Oh, whatever shall George Joestar do without him?
Wiz: That’s a man’s life, Boomstick. Show some tact.
Boomstick: You say as we’re in a line of work that literally revolves around throwing people into deathmatches for the sake of entertainment!
Wiz: Fair point. Anyway, you're right, Boomstick. Dio was adopted by George and, seeing it as an opportunity to become more successful than his late father, immediately set about destroying the reputation of his adopted brother, Jonathan.
Boomstick: All to claim that sweet, sweet inheritance money! I’d say I’d do the same in Dio’s shoes but with him being a cruel canine cremator, I’d rather take my chances on the streets!
Wiz: To be honest, Boomstick, you’d probably be better off doing that.
Boomstick: Hmm? How?
Wiz: Well, it’d either be that or have your rear end handed to you by an enraged sibling all in the name of revenge for stealing their partner’s first kiss.
Boomstick: So the dangerous Victorian streets or being both a dog murderer and a sexual offender!? Yeah, I think you’ve made up my mind, Wiz.
Wiz: Following his humiliation, Dio decided to spend the next few years forging a trusting friendship with Jonathan, all a front to sneak behind his 'brother’s' back and do to George what he had done to his father many years before: poison him.
Boomstick: A plan that, unfortunately for Dio, Jonathan would later uncover, vowing to expose Dio’s true nature to the world!
Wiz: Leaving Dio unattended was probably the worst decision Jonathan could make, however, as Dio’s attention had been caught by a mysterious stone mask capable of transforming him into a vampire. It sounds ludicrous. In fact, it is ludicrous, and…
Boomstick: Wiz, it’s a “bizarre adventure”. Don’t look too much into it.
Wiz: 'Sigh'. You’re right, let's continue.
Boomstick: Great! So, yeah, Dio planned not to use the stone mask to murder Jonathan as he initially intended, instead opting to use it in one final showdown in the Joestar Estate to become more powerful than the Joestars could ever imagine.
Wiz: This meant he was more than a match for Jonathan, who’d go on to master the art of Hamon - a sun-based energy - to take Dio down…
Boomstick: …at the cost of his own life. Yeah, see, Jonathan was ambushed on his honeymoon cruise by Dio, who wasn’t quite as dead as initially thought. In what was to be a climatic final showdown, Jonathan died holding Dio’s disembodied head in his arms, sinking to the bottom of the ocean in a burning ship never to be seen again. H-Hey, w-who’s choppin’ up onions back there!?
Wiz: I wouldn’t start getting too emotional if I was you, Boomstick, because as it turns out, Dio survived.
"You have one more chance. Descend two steps, and may join me as an ally. But if you prefer death, ascend the remaining steps."
Doctor Robotnik[]
"But I, Doctor Robotnik, genius egg-straordinary, have a plan to fix that meddling hedgehog for good! Not to mention conquer the world!"
DEATH BATTLE![]
