Miraculous Villain Season One-A Battle Royale is a What-If? Death Battle by I'm Lynda. It features the akumatized villains from the first five episodes of from the television series, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir: Stormy Weather, Bubbler, Pharaoh, Lady Wifi and Timebreaker.
Description[]
Akumatized villains, they all gave Ladybug and Cat Noir a run for their money, but how do they stack up against each other?
Interlude[]
Wiz: Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir is the smash hit CGI superhero show from France.
Boomstick: And, Miraculous is well known for its villain-of-the-week approach.
Wiz: This resulted in the first season having no less than 26 villains. We want to determine who was the best and most potent of the villains, but pitting 26 combatants against each other would more likely result in a war than in a battle royale.
Boomstick: So, what we are going to do is take the first five villains and pit them against each other and see which of them is the best.
Wiz: I’m Wiz, and he’s Boomstick.
Boomstick: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who among them would win a Death Battle.
Who is Hawk Moth and what does it mean to be Akumatized[]
Wiz: To a large extent, Miraculous has one overarching antagonist, and he is named, Hawk Moth.
Boomstick: OK, that’s a rather stupid name. I mean, “Hawk Moth,” really? Well, whatever. Anyway, the main heroes of Miraculous have rarely come into direct contact with Hawk Moth. Instead, Hawk Moth uses his superpower to change ordinary people into super-villains.
Wiz: Hawk Moth starts by taking a normal butterfly that he has raised and adding his own power to it, turning it into a special magical butterfly called an “akuma.” Then, he sends the akuma out to land on something belonging to the victim, gaining control over them.
Boomstick: Then, the victim becomes a super-villain created by Hawk Moth, and *that* person goes out to battle the heroes.
Wiz: The akumatized...yes, that’s a word...super-villain always loses out in the end, but along the way they give the heroes a real run for their money.
Boomstick: Each of these villains is quite different, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Let’s look at each of our five villains in turn.
Stormy Weather[]
Wiz: Aurore Beauréal was a student at the Collège Françoise Dupont in Paris, and was a final contestant in the KIDZ+ contest to become a weather forecaster at the local television station.
Boomstick: And, when she lost the competition, she lost her sh...OK, her cool. And when the villain Hawk Moth spotted that, he sent one of his magical butterflies over to evilize her.
Wiz: The akuma landed on Aurore’s parasol and turned her into the supervillain, Stormy Weather. In that form, she was sent out to get vengeance on those who had wronged her, and to get the magical Miraculouses that gave Ladybug and Cat Noir their special powers.
Boomstick: Well, this resulted in a fight that ranged from the skyscraper home of the television station, to the Place des Vosges, a city park in Paris, and back again. To make a long story short, the two heroes ended up overcoming Stormy, and taking and breaking her parasol to free up the akuma bug. This returned Aurore back to her normal form, and it was time for celebrations for the heroes and Hawk Moth shouting, “Curses, foiled again!”
Wiz: Stormy Weather’s powers come from her parasol, and should she lose it, she loses her powers. Basically speaking, her powers are those of weather control.
Boomstick: The most basic power she showed was the power to fly and to hover in the air like Superman. While she’s doing that, she is not limited. I mean, she can easily make use of her other powers while hovering or flying.
Wiz: Another power she showed was being able to fire bolts of lightning from the parasol. These are not hugely powerful lightning bolts, but they were enough to scar the ground where they hit, and she was able to blow a hole in a billboard with one.
Boomstick: With the parasol, she can generate powerful gusts of wind. She was able to use these winds to send groups of people, and even send groups of cars flying through the air.
Wiz: Further, she can use it to create walls of ice. She used an ice-dome lock Alya Césaire and Manon Chamack in a carousel, an ice wall to lock the winner of the KIDZ+ contest in an elevator, and a sheet of ice along the ground to cause Ladybug and Cat Noir to lose all their traction. The walls seem to last quite a long time, not melting until Story Weather was de-evilized.
Boomstick: And her most impressive power was spinning up a large storm, from which she could cause powerful lightning bolts to strike at her enemies, or large hail to fall on them. Yep, she didn’t last too long, but this weather villain is snow joke!
Bubbler[]
Wiz: Nino Lahiffe was a student at the Collège Françoise Dupont in Paris...OK, I am seeing a pattern emerge here! Anyway, he was good friends with his schoolmate, Adrien Agreste, the son of an overbearing father, fashion designer named Gabriel Agreste.
Boomstick: It was Adrien’s birthday, and Nino simply could not believe that Gabriel was so uncool as to forbid a birthday party for the lad. So, Nino went to Gabriel’s mansion, and pleaded with the father to authorize one. Well, uncoolest of the uncool, Gabriel denied the request and banned Nino from the Agreste mansion as an undesirable influence on his son.
Wiz: Nino was understandably upset by his treatment by Agreste, and mad at all adults in general for spoiling kids’ fun. Well, it didn’t take Hawk Moth long to spot Nino’s negative emotions, so he sent an akuma to evilize him.
Boomstick: The doom bug landed on Nino’s bubble bottle that he was using to blow bubbles, and turned him into a supervillain named, the Bubbler. OK, not the coolest of names, but just go with it.
Wiz: And so, now Nino went out to get the adults of Paris out of the way, and to get Ladybug and Cat Noir’s magical Miraculouses.
Boomstick: First off, he flew across Paris, releasing magical bubbles that captured the adults, and then floated them up into the sky. Then, he used his bubbles to make an announcement to all the young Paris-ites, and they were free and could do whatever they wanted.
Wiz: As for the Bubbler, what he did was kidnap a bunch of his classmates, threaten them into quiescence, and throw a birthday party for Adrien. But, soon the party was crashed by Ladybug and Cat Noir, and the Bubbler’s...
Boomstick: Bubble was burst.
Wiz: Yeah. Anyway, as with all akumatized combatants, if something happens to his bubble sword, then he’s out, and his powers are gone.
Boomstick: It probably comes as no surprise that the Bubbler’s powers have to do with bubbles. From his bubble wand, he can make bubbles, and if a bubble touches someone, they are immediately trapped in the bubble, and can be sent up into the sky.
Wiz: The bubbles seem to have a very strong surface, being nearly impossible to pop. One bubble resisted a direct hit from Ladybug’s yo-yo, sending it flying back at the heroine, requiring Cat Noir to step up and protect her from a hit from the returning weapon.
Boomstick: This guy can do more than launch one bubble, though. At one point, he launched a group of bubbles at the heroes, and then turned them into something of a bubble storm, causing them overwhelm a target’s defenses. This allows him to entrap them anyway, in spite of their best efforts.
Wiz: And, finally, he doesn’t just have to use the bubbles for entrapment. He can create exploding bubbles.
Boomstick: The Bubbler, a silly name, but as an opponent, he is unstobubble!
Pharaoh[]
Wiz: Jalil Kubdel...
Boomstick: Let me guess, "a student at the Collège Françoise Dupont in Paris?"
Wiz: No, of course not! He was the brother of a student at the Collège Françoise Dupont in Paris.
Boomstick: Sheesh!
Wiz: Anyway, Jalil was the son of Dr. Alim Kubdel, a historian at the Louvre Museum, and he had some interesting, if rather controversial theories about an Ancient Egyptian scroll in the museum's collection.
Boomstick: Eventually, exasperated by what he was saying, Dr. Kubdel shut the guy down, yelling at him, and telling him to start focusing on the real world. Yep, he was pretty depressed after that, and that attracted the evil moth man. The akuma landed on a pendant that Jalil was wearing, and evilized him into a super-villain called the Pharaoh, a living embodiment of Pharaoh Tutankhamen. OK, “Pharaoh,” now that's a pretty cool name.
Wiz: The Pharaoh’s chief goal is to perform the ritual found in the papyrus...
Boomstick: And capture Ladybug and Cat Noir’s Miraculouses.
Wiz: Yeah, that goes without saying. As a matter of fact, Ladybug was right in the museum, and Cat Noir was not far away. So, before you knew it, the battle was on.
Boomstick: And, of course, the Miraculous holders grabbed his pendant, broke it, and freed the akuma.
Wiz: The Pharaoh’s powers are the power of the Ancient Egyptian gods. For example, he can call on the power of Thoth, and create bubbles of slow-moving time that he can entrap people in, causing them to move as if in slow motion. As a matter of fact, he can leave the bubbles floating around, and if someone walks into one, they become trapped as if the Pharaoh had fired it at them.
Boomstick: He can also call on Sekhmet to gain superhuman strength, which he used to bend the bars of a security gate. Even cooler, though he can clap his hands together and make a shockwave that knocks people over.
Wiz: A really cool power is the one he is given when he calls on Anubis. This one allows him to fire beams from his eyes that turn regular people into mummies that obey his every command.
Boomstick: And, he can call upon Horus to gain the power of flying.
Wiz: Now, a weakness of the Pharaoh is that he cannot stack these powers. When he calls on a god, he gets their head and their power, but when he calls on another he loses those and gains the head and power of that other.
Boomstick: This one is something of a Swiss Army knife of villains. Satisfaction guaranteed....or your mummy back!
Lady Wifi[]
Wiz: Alya Césaire was a student at the Collège Françoise Dupont in Paris...
Boomstick: Oh, we’re back to that?
Wiz: I’m afraid so. Anyway, Alya was a huge fan of Ladybug, and was determined to find out her secret identity.
Boomstick: Strangely enough, she decided that the girl who was secretly Ladybug was the rich and rather stuck-up Chloé Bourgeois. So, she decided to get a look inside Chloé’s locker to see if she could find anything that proved that she was Ladybug. Well, she did succeed in getting a picture of the inside of the locker, bug Chloé threw six different shades of fit, and got Alya suspended from the school.
Wiz: Alya was hurt and very upset about her suspension, making her a suitable target for Hawk Moth. So, he sent an akuma and evilized her through her cell phone, turning her into the super-villain Lady Wifi.
Boomstick: So, Lady Wifi went to Le Grand Paris hotel, which Chloé’s father owns, looking to expose Ladybug. She found Chloé in her cosplay Ladybug outfit, but her big reveal was spoiled when Cat Noir showed up with the real Ladybug.
Wiz: The heroes battled Lady Wifi up and down Le Grand Paris, until finally she got the better of Cat Noir, and then Ladybug got the drop on her, and smashed her phone.
Boomstick: “Curses, foiled again!” echoed in the Moth Man’s secret lair, but Alya was back to being Alya and all was right with the world...or at least with Paris.
Wiz: Lady Wifi's powers are based on her cell phone, and she can use it to launch three different kinds of icons. The first is a camera, which allows her to connect to the Internet, and broadcast transmissions. The second is a lock icon, which she can use to lock doors or even secure someone’s arm in place.
Boomstick: But, her real go-to icon is the third, the pause icon. When she hits someone with this icon, they are frozen in place, paused in whatever position they were last in. As an added bonus, if she wills it, the pause icon can explode, causing a small amount of damage.
Wiz: A weakness is that, as her powers are all focused through her cell phone, which means that she must keep it in her hand, even when she is fighting. And, if she should lose her phone for any reason, she has lost access to most of her powers.
Boomstick: Nonetheless, in spite of her weaknesses, Lady Wifi is a formidable opponent. She is definitely no...phony!
Timebreaker[]
Wiz: Alix Kubdel...
Boomstick: a student at the Collège Françoise Dupont in Paris.
Wiz: Um...yes.
Boomstick: Sheesh, this school has more super-villains than Arkham Asylum!
Wiz: Anyway, for Alix's 15th birthday, her father gave her a family heirloom, a pocket watch that has been in the family for generations.
Boomstick: Alix was glad to have it, but had to hurry off to Super-Villain High, where she was going to race her classmate, Lê Chiến Kim; he on foot and her on her in-line skates. During the race, she gave the watch to a classmate to hold, and to make a long story short, it got smashed.
Wiz: Poor Alix was so upset, that she immediately drew the attention of Hawk Moth, who sent an akuma out after her. The akuma landed on one of her skates, evilizing her into the super-villain Timebreaker.
Boomstick: Timebreaker's greatest power is the ability to travel back in time, but to do this she must draw energy from people around her, causing them to just kind of fade away into nothingness.
Wiz: Well, as you might expect this soon attracted the attention of Ladybug and Cat Noir, who showed up to put a stop to her.
Boomstick: Timebreaker actually succeeded in knocking over Ladybug, but before she could steal her energy, Cat Noir threw himself in front of her, and took the hit for her. This gave her enough power to leap about ten minutes into the past, where she teamed up with her 10-minutes-ago self, making her twice as dangerous.
Wiz: Unfortunately, she had also brought Ladybug back with her, so it was two Timebreakers versus two Ladybugs AND a Cat Noir.
Boomstick: To make a long story short, the Timebreakers were defeated, and Hawk Moth was left with nothing to do but twirl his mustache and curse the fates.
Wiz: As with all akumatized villains, Timebreaker’s Achilles heel is her skate and its akuma. All her powers come through that.
Boomstick: Wiz, when it comes to drawing energy from people, what kind of energy are we talking about?
Wiz: In this case, it is not clearly defined, but it appears to be something like the concept of chi. In this case, it is an energy that is in all people. However, while most people have a small amount of this power, the Miraculous holders have a lot of it. When she stole the energy of most people, it empowered her to travel one-half of one minute into the past. But, when she stole Cat Noir’s energy, it empowered her to travel a whole six minutes into the past. The energy is bankable in her skate, and cumulative.
Boomstick: Alternatively, she can spend the energy to move faster at this time. Unfortunately, in her battle with the Miraculous holders, it didn’t really seem to increase her speed all that much.
Wiz: And, since we are talking about weaknesses, Timebreaker does have others. For example, when she fought Ladybug hand-to-hand, the spotted hero did seem to totally overmatch her. And, for all the mobility that her skates gave her, she did seem to be easily tripped, bringing her to a complete stop and losing her the initiative.
Boomstick: Yeah, she has her weaknesses, but tick her off. I know what I am tocking about!
Intermission[]
Wiz: Alright the combatants are set; let’s end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It’s time for a DEATH BATTLE!
DEATH BATTLE![]
Pre-Fight []
Main courtyard of the Louvre Palace.
Groups of people moved across the main courtyard of the Louvre Palace on a fine, sunny day. To one side, a group of Chinese tourists were shepherded along by a tour guide. On another side, a pair of American tourists attempted to get a forced perspective photograph of the one man apparently standing on the Louvre Pyramid.
Suddenly, there were five flashes of purple energy that resolved themselves into five akumatized villains: Stormy Weather, the Bubbler, the Pharaoh, Lady Wifi and Timebreaker.
Purple energy masks blazed in front of their faces, and the heard Hawk Moth’s silky smooth voice.
“Stormy Weather, Bubbler, Pharaoh, Lady Wifi, Timebreaker. You have all failed me, but I am determined to give you a chance to redeem yourselves. I need the best of the best, so consider this your arena. Five go in, and one comes out. Now fight!”
“It will be my pleasure,” said Stormy Weather.
“Dude, the best of the best is right here,” said the Bubbler.
“Yes, Hawk Moth,” said the Pharaoh.
“I’ll disconnect these four in no minutes,” said Lady Wifi.
“I’ll be done in no time!” said Timebreaker..
Then the five villains turned, eyeing each other, and their surroundings. The various people in the courtyard panicked, and began to run.
FIGHT! []
Spotting all of the people, the Pharaoh saw a chance for reinforcements.
Crossing his arms over his chest, he shouted, “Anubis, bring me mummies!”
Immediately, his head changed to the jackal head of Anubis. Energy beams shot out of his eyes, instantly turning fleeing tourist into mummies. The mummies stopped their running, and began shambling towards the Pharaoh.
Timebreaker wondered to herself, could she draw energy from mummies? She doubted it. She needed to get to the people before the Pharaoh did. Immediately, she shot off on her skates.
She zoomed past two fleeing people, touching one with her left hand and the other with her right. The people froze and began to fade. Timebreaker could feel the energy flowing into her storage. This was going to be a breeze!
The Bubbler looked at the two villains with his mouth hanging open.
Stormy Weather floated up into the air. She looked around wondering which of the villains was the greatest threat to her. All of the others seemed to be distracted, but Lady Wifi was staring straight at her.
Lifting her parasol, she pointed it at the other woman.
“There’s a storm coming,” she called, “and I think that you are going to be socked in!”
So saying, she swung her parasol like a baseball bat. A gust of wind flew from the parasol and swirled around Lady Wifi. Suddenly, the wind dissipated, leaving the other woman trapped in a dome of ice.
Lady Wifi looked through the semi-transparent ice at the other woman, and smiled an evil smile. Then, she leaped up into the air, and her whole body seemed to turn into white light. She disappeared.
“What?” Stormy Weather shouted. Then, she began looking around for where the other woman had gone.
The Bubbler snapped his mouth shut, and then growled.
“Hey!” he shouted. “No bringing party poopers to our little party!”
He drew his bubble sword, and swished it through the air. Immediately, a group of huge bubbles shot out and encased the mummies and the still fleeing tourists. There was a mix of screams as they all began floating up into the sky. The mummies could be seen hammering the fists on the wall of their bubbles as they disappeared from sight.
The Bubbler smiled triumphantly.
The Pharaoh turned towards the Bubbler, and shouted, “By the spirit of Ra, you will not thwart me so easily!”
The Bubbler shrugged.
“Haters keep on hating,” he said dismissively.
Timebreaker had stopped when the bubbles enveloped her would-be targets. She turned and looked angrily at the Bubbler. Then, she snarled and took off skating again. She needed to find another source of power, and it looked like there was only four left!
Seeing the Bubbler’s attack, Stormy Weather realized what a threat he was. She thrust her parasol towards him, and immediately a bolt of lightning shot out and engulfed the man.
The Bubbler screamed in pain as the electricity surged through his body.
When the lightning stopped, his still-spamming body collapsed to the brick pavement of the courtyard.
The Pharaoh looked up at the floating weather girl, and raised his fists.
“Horus, give me your wings!” he shouted.
Immediately, his head changed to the falcon head of Horus. He leaped into the air, and flew fists-first towards Stormy Weather.
The weather girl tried to move out of the way, but the Pharaoh came up so fast that she barely had any time at all.
The Pharaoh slammed into the girl’s side, spinning her like a top. He flew on, while she dropped dizzily to the ground.
Timebreaker wheeled across the courtyard as fast as her wheels would carry her wheels would carry her.
Suddenly, she saw a tourist leap out from behind a trash can and take off running. Timebreaker smiled evilly and flew off in pursuit.
She had nearly caught the fleeing man, when a dropped and forgotten cell phone rang on the brick pavement. Then, a bright light shot out of the phone, took on the shape of a woman and transformed into Lady Wifi.
She stuck her foot out, in front of the fast-moving Timebreaker, and tripped her up. Timebreaker screamed and dropped face-first onto the pavement, where she skidded to a stop.
Lady Wifi laughed triumphantly, but then saw the flying Pharaoh hurtling towards her. Her face went from shock to determination.
“Sorry, all lines are busy,” she declared. “Please try again later.”
Then, she leaped into the air, flashed into light and disappeared. The Pharaoh shot through the empty air where she had been standing a mere moment before.
The Pharaoh continued on, his flight taking right towards the prone Timebreaker.
Timebreaker cried out and tried to scramble to her feet, but the wheels on her skates simply slid out from under her.
The Pharaoh smashed into her, the impact breaking her skate. A magical black-and-blue butterfly flew up into the sky, as black-and-blue energy flowed out of Timebreaker.
Pharoah grabbed Alix Kubdel, and hoisted her onto his shoulder. He flew across the courtyard at high speed, and smashed into a wall of the Louvre Alix barely had time to cry out before her life was snuffed out.
On another part of the Courtyard, a group of mummies surrounded the Bubbler, and shambled towards him.
“Night of the Walking Dead? No thanks, I’ve already seen it and know how it ends,” he said.
Then he drew his bubble sword, and sent a spray of bubbles flying out. Each one engulfed a mummy and sent it off into the sky.
The Pharaoh emerged from the broken wall, and brushed the dust from his shoulders.
He looked up, and saw Stormy Weather floating in the sky above. He leaned down, and then shot up into the air, aimed right towards her.
Seeing the man shooting towards her, Stormy Weather raised her parasol, and sent a wind straight towards him. His movement slowed to a stop, and then he was pushed inexorably back to the ground.
Stormy Weather laughed, and then the wind turned into a cyclone around the Pharaoh. Then, the wind dissipated, leaving the man trapped in a dome of ice.
Stormy Weather laughed musically, and then raised her parasol towards the sky.
“It’s time to take it up a notch. Up the Saffir-Simpson scale!” she declared.
Then, lightning arced from her parasol, up into the clear sky. Immediately a storm began to form, and thunder boomed from the heavens.
Down below, the Pharaoh looked at his ice prison, and stroked his beard. Then, he crossed his arms over his chest, and shouted, “Sekhmet, give me your strength!”
Immediately, his head changed to the lion head of Sekhmet He balled his right hand into a fist, pulled it back, and then smashed it into the ice wall in front of him.
There was a dull cracking sound, and the ice dome disintegrated into pieces.
Suddenly, a bright light shot out of another dropped cell phone, took on the shape of a woman and transformed into Lady Wifi.
She charged up to the Bubbler, and punched out at him. He blocked the first and second punch, but the third one connected with his stomach, doubling him over. Then, she crouched, and spun around, her left leg extending, and knocking the Bubbler’s feet out from under him.
Lady Wifi attempted to stamp of his head, but he quickly rolled away from her, and sprang up on one knee.
“Why do you have to be such a killjoy?” he asked.
Then, he swung his bubble sword, sending a bubble at Lady Wifi, which immediately encased her.
The Bubbler stepped up to the bubble, and smiled mockingly at the capture villain.
“I think you need a little time to cool off,” he said. “See you never!”
Then, he swung the bubble sword, which hit the bubble and sent it flying up in into the sky.
Inside the rapidly rising bubble, Lady Wifi glared at the Bubbler. Then, she leaped up from the floor of the bubble, and her whole body seemed to turn into white light. She disappeared.
On the ground, the Bubbler saw the flash of light in the bubble. He narrowed his eyes, as he tried to see what was happening in it.
Without warning, the Pharaoh charged up behind him and wrapped his arms around body, trapping his arms and the bubble sword against his body.
The Pharaoh squeezed with all the strength that Sekhmet had given him. The Bubbler grunted, and writhed in his grip, trying to free himself.
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and the bubble sword broke. A magical black-and-blue butterfly flew up into the sky, as black-and-blue energy flowed out of the Bubbler, leaving young Nino Lahiffe in the Pharaoh’s embrace.
He, too, kicked and squirmed in the Pharaoh’s arms, but still the Pharaoh squeezed. Then, there was another cracking sound, and Nino went limp. The Pharaoh contemptuously tossed Nino’s body aside.
The storm reached maximum intensity over the Île-de-France. Stormy Weather hung in the air, enjoying the sensation of the atmospheric disturbance raging around her. Lightning split the sky, and thunder echoed from the buildings below.
The Pharaoh looked up at the storm queen. Then, he crossed his arms over his chest, and shouted, “Thoth, give me time!”
Immediately, his head changed to the baboon head of Thoth. He placed his hands four inches apart and then spread them, a bubble of time formed between them. He threw the bubble up, at his opponent.
Stormy Weather laughed musically.
“The weather is getting worse out there, folks!” she shouted. “You better seek shelter now!”
Suddenly fist-sized balls of hail began to fall from the sky. They pummeled the time bubble until it popped in shower of magical sparks.
Down below, the Pharaoh saw that and growled. He would have to handle this up close and personal.
He raised his fists and shouted, “Horus, give me your wings!”
Immediately, his head changed to the falcon head of Horus. He leaped into the air, and flew fists-first towards Stormy Weather.
Lightning flashed around the villain, causing him to dodge right and left as he flew. Try as he might, he couldn’t seem to get closer to his prey.
On the roof of the Librairie-Boutique du Musee du Louvre, a young man stood recording the action on his cell phone. Suddenly, his phone began to ring. Even before he could answer the phone, a flash of bright light flew out of the phone and resolved itself into Lady Wifi.
The villain kicked out with her right foot, kicking the young man off of the roof, causing him to plummet to his death.
Lady Wifi looked at Stormy Weather, as she floated, directing lightning at the bobbing and weaving Pharaoh.
Then, she stepped back, and ran towards the edge of the roof. At the last second, she leaped, launching herself into the air. She flew through the air, and collided with Stormy Weather. The weather girl cried out in surprise, and the two plummeted to the ground.
The two women quickly stood up, and began trading blows. Lady Wifi kicked out at her opponent, while Stormy Weather blocked each strike with her parasol.
Suddenly, the Pharaoh flew in, colliding with the woman and separating them. Stormy Weather leaped to her feet, and pointed her parasol at the other woman. A blast of wind took her, throwing her backward across the pavement.
Stormy Weather then fired a lightning bolt at Lady Wifi. The electricity danced across her body, causing her to spasm and shake. Suddenly, her cell phone exploded. A magical black-and-blue butterfly flew up into the sky, as black-and-blue energy flowed out of Lady Wifi, leaving young Alya Césaire.
Alya collapsed onto the ground. Stormy Weather raised her parasol and fired another lightning bolt into the prone woman. Alya shook, and then lay still.
The Pharaoh swooped out of the stormy sky, and caromed into his opponent, sending her rolling across the pavement.
He landed, and crossed his arms over his chest. “Sekhmet, give me your strength!” he shouted.
Immediately, his head changed to the lion head of Sekhmet. He charged at rising Stormy Weather, but before he could reach her, she lifted her parasol towards him
A wind shoved at the Pharaoh, first driving him back. Then, he braced his legs and pushed forward, step-by-step.
Suddenly, lightning flashed out of the sky and bathed the Pharaoh in blue light. He fought forward another step, and then was struck by lightning again. This time, he collapsed to his knees. Then, lightning struck him again.
Stormy Weather walked up to the Pharaoh, smiling triumphantly. She raised her parasol and struck the Pharaoh in the chest. His pendant broke, and a magical black-and-blue butterfly flew up into the sky. Black-and-blue energy flowed out of the Pharaoh, leaving Jalil Kubdel kneeling on the ground.
Stormy Weather lifted her parasol and fired a bolt of lightning at the young man, killing him instantly.
K.O.! []
A purple energy mask blazed in front of Stormy Weather’s face, and she heard Hawk Moth’s voice in her head.
“Well done, Stormy Weather,” he said.
“Thank you, Hawk Moth,” she answered.
“But, I have one more test for you.”
“Fair weather or foul, I’ll be there!”
Results[]
Boomstick: We have a winner! But, it’s really not the one that I expected to win.
Wiz: Well, in this fight there were some problems in determining how powerful the combatants really were. First of all, there’s a problem in determining how durable the combatants were.
Boomstick: Yeah, because the villains were actually normal, non-evil people who were akumatized against their wills, the heroes had to avoid anything that would seriously harm them. That means that Cat Noir never got a chance to Cataclysm one of them, and Ladybug never got a Lucky Charm that dropped a red anvil with black polka dots on one of them...Actually, that would have been pretty awesome!
Wiz: Another problem is that with since the villains only appeared for one 26 minute episode, they did not have a lot of feats, and it was often hard to determine how powerful their attacks were.
Boomstick: But, that said, here’s what we did determine. Timebreaker was potentially very powerful, because she could go back in time, and even team up with herself. She did that in her episode.
Wiz: Unfortunately, that would require her to have a lot of victims that she could use as sources of energy. If, for example, the battle took place in an empty stadium, then she would be limited to drawing energy from the other combatants, and she could not power-up before she needed to overcome them.
Boomstick: Heck, even if there were victims about, if another combatant could get to them first, then she was still out of luck. Heck, the Bubbler was perfectly equipped to take out lots of people with one swish of his bubble sword!
Wiz: To make matters worse, when Timebreaker fought Ladybug, and the other Timebreaker fought Cat Noir, she showed that she really was not a terribly effective fighter. And, her inline skates proved a real weakness, as she was tripped up again and again.
Boomstick: The next one to fall was the Bubbler. He was fairly potent, and his bubble sword was nothing to take lightly. Unfortunately, his bubbles were light weight, and he never really demonstrated much in the way of fighting abilities. Worse, though he could fly, he seemed to always fight from the ground, keeping him pinned in pretty much one location.
Wiz: Then, there was Lady Wifi. Her ability to teleport out of anywhere where she could get a mobile phone signal made her a difficult target to pin down. But unfortunately for her, she could only teleport in to somewhere where there was a mobile phone, or a tower.
Boomstick: In her episode, she was lucky enough to find a bullshit room filled with cell phones, but if the fight occurred somewhere where there wasn’t lots of people, and as such lots of phones, she would be *really* limited as to where she could teleport into. And, also, her lack of ability to fly meant that she was always going to be at a disadvantage against an opponent would could attack while high up in the sky.
Wiz: And, then there was the Pharaoh...
Boomstick: That’s who I thought was going to win. He had a strong selection of powers, which really gave him a lot of flexibility during a fight.
Wiz: And that is true, and it made him a dangerous combatant in this fight. But, a problem was that he could not stack his powers; he could only use one at any given time. He could make large numbers of mummies to assist him in the battle, but not if the people were not there to begin with, or if they were eliminated by an opponent like the Bubbler.
Boomstick: Which brings us to the storm queen. She did not have the range of powers that the Pharaoh had, but what she did have was very potent. Her wind attack was strong enough to blast Cat Noir at least a block away, and the number of lightning bolts that she could blast from her parasol was apparently without limit.
Wiz: And, a power that set her out from the opposition was her ability to create a violent storm that fired hail and lightning at them. This meant that she was the only combatant in this battle with an area-effect weapon.
Boomstick: So, with her potent attacks, and her ability to fly while using them, she simply stormed off with the trophy.
Wiz: The winner is Stormy Weather.
