Description[]
DOOM vs DC! The slayer of demons will take on the demon prince of Hell. Who will live on and who will go to Hell... Again.
Intro[]
Boomstick: Ah the good ol Underworld otherwise known as capital H, lowercase e, and two hockey sticks.
Wiz: As you all may know Hell isn't the most "civilized" or peaceful place of all time.
Boomstick: Huh I wonder what gave that away? Maybe the scary-looking demons, the disgusting scent of death, chaos appearing in every direction, or the endless screams of the deceased?
Wiz: Which is why you'll need someone to keep it in check and under control.
Boomstick: Like the Doomguy, the silent demon-killing machine from DOOM.
Wiz: And Etrigan, Hell's all-powerful demonic hitman that rhymes.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And we are going to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win in a DEATH BATTLE!
Doomguy[]
(Cue Doom Eternal - Main Theme)
Wiz: Not much is known about Doomguy's backstory or his origin except for the fact that he was a human from earth and a member of the Marines, a military organization of the United States. He was later discharged and transferred to the UAC (Union Aerospace Corporation) Phobos base as a security guard after assaulting his commanding officer when he ordered him to shoot a crowd of innocent civilians.
Boomstick: What a bunch of scumbags, but at least Doomguy got to use his anger on the invading demonic hordes from Hell!
Wiz: That's right folks. While on the base the Marine found himself fighting off waves of demons, trying to prevent them from reaching earth. Sadly no matter how hard he fought and how many demons he tore apart it just wasn't enough.
Boomstick: The demons managed to swarm our lovely planet and all Hell was loose. Ha a Hell pun!
Wiz: Humanity was overrun and the Doomguy found his family and billions of other people dead.
Boomstick: Wiz don't forget his poor sweet rabbit Daisy. She didn't deserve this fate!
Wiz: Fueled by rage and anger, the Marine pursued on a mission to hunt down and kill every. Single. Demon.
Boomstick: Even if it meant taking the fight straight to them! It was Hell if you were wondering.
Wiz: Demons feared him and humans praised him. He became some sort of a legend between both sides. Demons called him the Unchained Predator, the Beast, and the Hellwalker. While the UAC refers to him as the DOOM Marine, or The Slayer.
Boomstick: So considering he was on humanity's side what better way was there than to combine both of his titles, thus he goes by the name of the Doom Slayer. Oooooo you can see the epicness radiate from just saying that word.
Wiz: But right now we're just going to stick with Doomguy. Of course if you're going to be a demon killing machine you'll need a big arsenal of weapons and abilities.
Boomstick: Oh Wiz, Doomguy definitely has the arsenal: A chaingun with a mobile turret mod (4 barrels for extra firepower) and a gun shield mod (For protection), a chainsaw, Ballista which is a crossbow type weapon that fires twin vaporizing lasers, a pistol that can charge up for more damage, rapid firing combat shotgun that can launch sticky explosives, double barrel Super Shotgun with an attached grappling hook, the high accuracy heavy assault rifle, the energy-based plasma rifle, a rocket launcher, a railgun called the Guass Cannon, the BFG-9000 also known as the Big Fucking Gun unleashes deadly packets of Argent Energy that causes a target to instantly explode if caught in the blast, the Unmaker is a rapid firing weapon designed to kill demons (Hurts pure demons a lot, cybernetic demons some, and demon humans a little), and the Crucible which is basically a giant demonic lightsaber.
Wiz: Doomguy dawns the Praetor suit which is fitted with a Doomblade on his left arm perfect for slicing and dicing, a shoulder launcher that fires different bombs, a shoulder flamethrower, a shoulder rocket launcher, Delta Jump-Boots for double jumping, and is overall very durable. Apart from his gear the Doomguy can also use power-ups like the Haste Power-Up that allows Doomguy to move at hypersonic+ speeds, the Invulnerability Power-Up makes him invulnerable to attacks, Mega Armor Power-Up absorbs 50% of all damage dealt to Doomguy until it is depleted, and the Berserk Power-Up which puts Doomguy into a berserk state that further increases his overall strength. Only problem with this is that they usually only last 20-30 seconds.
Boomstick: Now Doomguy is a full on superhuman who consistently rips apart heavy tier demons with his bare hands, breaking chains that titans couldn't escape from, can break through steel doors and walls, and can tear through the natural armor of the Hell Guards who have shown to handle a dip in lava. He's durable enough to tank pointblank gunfire, withstand attacks from demons like Baron of Hell or Cyberdemon who have the strength of a hydraulic press, tank the rockets from Revenants, survive the Argent Tower explosion, and shrugged off electrocution from a 30,000 Megawatt Hour battery power surge.
Wiz: As for speed he's able to run at a top speed of 57 mph, can outrun his own fired rockets, dodge plasma rounds, and then there's the fact that he never appears to tire out or slow down no matter how much weight or how far he runs.
Boomstick: To increase his coolness Doomguy has fought across hell for eons without food, water, or even tiring, killed Marauders who were former members of Doomguy's personal band of warriors (So you can assume that they were good), killed a kaiju sized Titan, defeated the Khan Maykr who is an extra-dimensional alien queen that enslaved countless worlds and attempted to colonize Hell, clapped the boney cheeks of the Icon of Sin twice who is a being capable of warping reality and creating black holes with just its presence, and killed the Dark Lord who is the leader/God of Hell itself.
Wiz: Now Doomguy is far from unstoppable as he was imprisoned by the hordes of Hell on one occasion. He is also still only a human, a reckless human that usually goes in guns blazing without any strategy.
Boomstick: But then again Wiz this is the Doomguy we're talking about! He doesn't need a plan! He'll rip and tear apart any demon he can find no matter how powerful they are. Hell, I don't think even death can claim him because he's the definition of too angry to die!
Doomguy: "Rip...and...tear!"
Etrigan The Demon[]
(Cue Justice League Dark Theme)
Wiz: In the 6th century the castle known as Camelot also famously known as the home of King Arthur was under attack by a witch named Morgaine le Frey and her forces of evil. Merlin, yes that Merlin, summoned the demon Etrigan to Earth to aid him in a final desperate attempt to stop her.
Boomstick: This plan failed and Camelot fell, but not before Merlin could do some mystical abracadabra's to punish Etrigan for his failure by binding him with a mortal warrior named Jason Blood.
Wiz: This was originally supposed to be a curse but over time the two actually became good friends, comrades, and even enemies that lasted over a millennium. Currently, they fight on the side of good by aiding different superheroes like Constantine or Batman from time to time and they've joined teams like the Justice League Dark, though their allegiance is never guaranteed.
Boomstick: When Jason transforms into Etrigan by saying special incantations/poem he gains all of his demonic mumbo jumbo which includes immortality, super strength, superhuman durability, superhuman agility, a healing factor, enhanced senses, sharp claws and fangs, the ability to unleash deadly hellfire to burn his enemies alive, and looking very intimidating and badass at the same time.
Wiz: Etrigan's hellfire is very special compared to others because it is magic based meaning he can hurt those who are usually resistant to hellfire. It does this by surpassing their durability and striking straight to the soul of the opponent. The demon uses a wide variety of magic and spells that he learned over the years. He can fire magical blasts which he can increase and intensify its power, project literal explosions from himself, create magic force-fields, fire frost/ice to freeze people, raise the undead, unleash whirlwinds and air to blow an enemy back, send himself and others back in time, can steal people's souls, create a blinding light as a diversion, recite or cast spells to teleport to locations, transmute things like liquifying a rock floor and solidify it to trap people, fly, open portals to other dimensions, and has limited precognition.
Boomstick: But let's now go over some feats of his. He's strong enough to lift and throw cars and large buses with ease, can tear demons and people apart like butter, broke through Alan Scott's (Green Lantern) forcefield construct, and can shatter stone and steel. When it comes to speed Etrigan was faster than a creature who moved so fast that a normal human can't see or hear, dodged bullets, and speed blitzed a bunch of guards at point blank range. Etrigan isn't easy to kill either I mean he literally enjoys feeling pain! Talk about a weird kink.
Wiz: I bet you also got quite the interesting stories to tell as well?
Boomstick: Ummm anyway Etrigan enjoyed being tortured by his father as a child, gunfire is ineffective against him and he'll just laugh it off, he's survived being blown up by a nuke, beat the shit out of his enemies right after being split in half vertically, got back up after being thrown across a town through several buildings, and survived a slap and a magic blast that sent him and some other heroes back (Dr. Fate, Zatanna, and Phantom Stranger) from Eclipsed Spectre (Two godlike beings Spectre and Eclipso who merged together). Now if he does lose a limb or two he can easily take someone's else to replace it.
Wiz: Considering Etrigan is mystically enhanced and has over thousands of years of experience in combat it's no wonder he is known as one of the most powerful demons from Hell. He's slayed many supernatural creatures, conquered Hell, fought off demonic armies, KOed his brother Merlin who is known as one of the greatest magic users of all time, faced Wonder Woman, went up against freaking Superman and punched him all the way to the moon (This was just his physical strength), stalemated Lobo on every encounter, nearly killed Dreamcatcher (Cosmic being who controls the dreams and nightmares of the world) with his hellfire, fought two angels that the Presence (Basically God) sent to rule Hell, and fought the Eclipsed Spectre (Though despite getting his whole faced clawed away Spectre didn't seem to get bothered by Etrigan's attacks and just slapped him away).
Boomstick: However the prince of Hell does have his weaknesses: Idols, talismans, crucifixes, and holy water are his Kryptonite (Meaning they kind of hurt him) and magic is also a good way of dealing with him. Though there are several instances where he resisted such weaknesses.
Wiz: Overall Etrigan is definitely a powerhouse and isn't your typical demon.
Etrigan: "Gone! Gone! -- the form of man -- Rise, the Demon Etrigan!"
Intermission[]
Wiz: The combatants are set and ready to kill! Let's settle this debate once in for all.
Boomstick: In a DEATHH BATTTLEEE!!!
DEATH BATTLE![]
Etrigan wanders though the depths of Hell. It has been awhile since he's visited his home because of all the superhero business in the upper mortal world. Though something is different about the place. It is weirdly quiet, too quite. Etrigan was expecting to see a bunch of demons and monsters intercept him, but there was nobody around.
Eventually Etrigan would make his way towards a hill when he notices the arm of a demon left on the ground. Someone or something completely tore it clean off. Etrigan was intrigued, he looks around and sees blood and other body parts laying around. As Etrigan continues up the hill he finally sees the killer.
Standing victoriously upon piles of bones and the remains of demons was the Doomguy. The super-soldier lifts a skinny demon up by the throat before aiming his shotgun into its mouth and blowing its head apart. Etrigan was impressed by this armored warrior. His scent was strange, it was that of a human but something supernatural was also radiating off of him. This man was something else. Etrigan leaps high into the air and lands right behind Doomguy.
Etrigan: Greetings warrior cladded in the green armor, I see you stirred quite a ruckus.
Doomguy turns around to face the demon prince of Hell. Etrigan tries to stir up a conversation but Doomguy just continues to stare at him in silence. Etrigan looks down at Doomguy's Super Shotgun as it is reloaded with malicious intent. Etrigan grins.
Etrigan: I see, if it's a fight you want? It's a fight you'll get! Just don't regret.
FIGHT![]
Doomguy jumps backwards while firing his Super Shotgun. Etrigan uses the corpse of a nearby demon as a body shield to block the bullets. He throws the body aside and sprints towards Doomguy in a zigzag motion. With one hand Etrigan grabs him by the head and slams him headfirst through a giant skull. Doomguy rolls back onto his feet and quickly fires a shot which staggers the demon a bit.
The slayer then aims and launches his shotgun's grappling hook. Etrigan puts an arm up to protect his face, but it instead grabs his wrist. Similar to Scorpion's "Get over here!" move he pulls Etrigan towards him and throws a hard punch to his demonic face causing Etrigan to do a flip before landing face flat on the ground.
Etrigan: Lucky shot human.
Doomguy prevents Etrigan from getting back up by stomping on his back. He spins out his pistol and charges it at Etrigan's head. Doomguy pulls the trigger but Etrigan simply tanks the blast. Etrigan laughs at the attack and elbows Doomguy's pistol out of his hands. He spins around to grab Doomguy by the ankle.
Etrigan: Boring...
Etrigan swings and slams Doomguy around like a ragdoll. The Space Marine goes flying off of the mountain of remains. Using his grapple hook again Doomguy pulls himself back to the top and dropkicks his opponent. They both tumble down the pile until reaching the bottom with a superhero landing. Doomguy switches his Super Shotgun out for his plasma rifle and rapid fires. Etrigan blocks the projectiles by creating a magical force-field.
Etrigan: You know not the fury the demon has, yield now or face the demon's wrath!
Doomguy continues to blast him. He sprints forward and ejects a grenade at Etrigan's feet. Etrigan protects himself by redirecting the shield to block the explosive. Once the smoke clears, Doomguy is standing right behind his opponent and aims his rocket launcher. The explosion knocks Etrigan forward until he stops himself by staking his claws into the earth.
Etrigan: ENOUGH!
Etrigan fires multiple balls of hellfire out of the palm of his hands. Doomguy evades the attacks by moving left to right until one of the fire balls impacts his rocket launcher causing an explosion. Doomguy stumbles around to regain his balance. When all is fine he gazes angrily at Etrigan ignoring the smoke rising off his armor. However, Doomguy turns his attentions towards the yellow glowing Haste Powerup floating nearby. He suddenly hears a demonic roar and returns his gaze back to Etrigan to see him flying at the Space Marine in the form of a blur. Doomguy tactical rolls to dodge the attack though his armor his grazed by the demon's claws. Upon hitting the ground Etrigan erupts a large dust cloud, cracking the ground apart.
Etrigan: Run warrior run, no barrier will stop my fun.
Doomguy sprints away towards the powerup when Etrigan chants a teleport spell to appear in front of him. The Slayer's reflexes kick in to knock the demon aside by swinging his combat shotgun like a bat. Doomguy tackles the Haste Powerup which accelerates him to lightning speeds. With his increased speed Doomguy runs circles around Etrigan while simultaneously shooting at him. Like a dragon Etrigan opens his mouth wide to unleash a deadly breath of hellfire, spraying it in every direction.
Etrigan: You may be fast, but it’ll never last.
The rhyming demon pumps his chest out to project an explosion from himself. The shockwave sends the Doomguy off of his feet several yards away. He cracks a wall from the impact. The Haste Powerup shortly deactivates. Etrigan teleports beside him and throws a punch. Doomguy uses his combat shotgun to block, but the strike breaks the gun in half.
Etrigan: DIE!
Etrigan’s mouth opens up, glowing with bright orange hellfire. Doomguy instantly throws an uppercut into his lower jaw to close him back up. Some fangs break off. Etrigan spits out a drop of blood before firing two mystical energy beams. Doomguy activates his chaingun’s shield mod to block the blasts. Etrigan is slowly pushed back as the chaingun showers him with bullets.
Flying forward, the demon tackles Doomguy and drags him across the floor of the battlefield. By equipping the Ballista Doomguy fires at Etrigan’s back causing the two to crash land. Doomguy sits up but is immediately pinned to the ground. In the heated struggle, Etrigan attempts to suck his soul up, but the Doomguy resists enough for him to equip the Unmaker.
Etrigan: What toy do you have there?
It blows Etrigan’s whole left arm to bits. He yells out a demonic roar and smacks the Unmaker away before grasping his right claw on Doomguy’s left shoulder. It freezes up solid. Etrigan crushes the shoulder to bits. The right arm collapses to the ground. Doomguy Sparta kicks Etrigan away only to see the demon use his own arm as a replacement. Etrigan examines it.
Etrigan: An arm for an arm. Say let’s spice things up! Battle in another era, another time.
Doomguy sprints towards Etrigan but couldn’t stop him as he uses the Tempus Frangit spell to send them both back in time. Doomguy finds himself in the center of an empty battlefield in the Medieval Ages. He hears Etrigan chanting another spell.
Etrigan: Hear me, you who have fallen in battle. I call upon you with my rhyme. RISE UP, you dead! Prove yourselves one last TIME!
A deformed knight’s head pops up from the earth only to have Doomguy crush its head with a stomp. He takes out his Gauss Cannon ready for the battle that will ensue. More and more zombies rise around Doomguy. Eventually he is surrounded by the undead. The firepower of the Gauss Cannon cuts through the zombies like butter, but it isn’t enough. Meanwhile, Etrigan foresees the Doomguy wielding the BFG-9000 and its immense power.
Etrigan: Fascinating tech, but it is nothing compared to my enchanting effect…
Quickly wielding the BFG-9000 with one arm, Doomguy wipes out the horde of zombies in seconds. They pop into red mush one by one. Etrigan flips next to his opponent and blows him face flat on the ground with a gust of wind. Putting his demon claws on the ground it begins to liquify. Doomguy sinks like quick sand until it solidifies around his neck.
Etrigan: It was fun.
Etrigan activates the Doomblade and thrusts it through the Doomguy’s face, piercing his left eye. The demon pulls away causing blood to squirt and fly everywhere. Etrigan turns around and walks away. Unknowingly to him the Doomguy is still alive. His rage fuels him to the core, he breathes faster and faster, and his right eye locks onto his target.
Doomguy: No…
Etrigan’s ears twitch. He turns back around.
Etrigan: So you do speak…
Doomguy: DIE!
Etrigan: Still have a little fight left in you Slayer? By the magic of Merlin, I am opening the mystic door to the Beyond Region-!
The earth shakes around Doomguy from his great strength. He suddenly busts up from the ground.
Etrigan: It opens slowly, brightly like the Iris of an Occult eye...
Doomguy charges up the BFG-9000 and fires the green argent-energy plasma straight at Etrigan.
Etrigan: Enter and begone!
A portal to another dimension opens up and the projectile disappears. Etrigan then creates a blinding light as a distraction. When it fades away Etrigan out of nowhere uppercuts the BFG-9000 into the sky. The prince of Hell throws a devastating combo of punches before firing a beam of magic that sends Doomguy up high into the air. While falling back down Etrigan casts the same dimension spell. He closes it on Doomguy’s neck, decapticating him. Etrigan sticks his claw into the neck of the corpse and unleashes some hellfire to burn the body inside and out.
Etrigan: Dead and gone are the days of the Slayer. He had his chance in my hellish lair for now he has met his final doom. I lay you now in your eternal tomb. Demons are now freed from this man. Died at the hands of the demon, Etrigan!
KO!
Results[]
Boomstick: IM-IMPOSSIBLE! The man who slays demons dies to one?
Wiz: This was a very tough one to call, but it appears that Etrigan’s vastly superior strength, mastery in magic and spells, and hax gave him the edge in the end.
Boomstick: Doomguy has more fighting experience as he’s battled Hell’s armies for eons and has quite the variety of weapons, gadgets, and powerups. Sadly, most of them are pretty ineffective against the demon anyway and at best would slow him down a bit. The only weapons that would really deal a lot of damage would be the BFG-9000 or the Unmaker.
Wiz: Now considering Etrigan is a demon from a different universe we don’t exactly know how vulnerable he is to the BFG's argent energy or the Unmaker. But let’s say we ignore that, well the Unmaker should certainly hurt him but not severely because he is bounded to Jason Blood’s soul who is a human. With just his physical strength, Etrigan is able to match heavy hitters like Lobo, Wonder Woman, break a green lantern shield construct, and punched Supes to the moon! Doomguy would get slapped around like a ping pong ball.
Boomstick: Etrigan’s magic and demon abilities are very tricky to combat. He can teleport, fly, freeze things, create magic force fields, open portals, time travel and send others back in time at will, steal people’s souls, can quickly regenerate, bind people’s limbs to himself, transmute things, and a whole lot more! Doomguy is going to have a difficult time tearing him apart like other demons, especially when this demon just loves pain.
Wiz: There’s also Etrigan’s magic hellfire which unlike normal hellfire this one can harm beings who are usually resistant to it. So can it hurt Doomguy? Most likely, it has shown to hurt godlike beings before.
Boomstick: Looks like the slayer truly met his doom.
Wiz: The winner is Etrigan the Demon!
Next Time![]
