Description[]
The Simpsons vs. Fairly OddParents. Red-clad superheroes in the comics of their respective series.
Introduction[]
Wiz: The term in-universe refers to elements directly within a fictional world and sometimes they reflect what we experience in the real world.
Boomstick: For example, they can have their own comic books, filled with their own superheroes.
Wiz: Like Radioactive Man, from the Simpsons' comic franchise.
Boomstick: And Crimson Chin, from the Fairly OddParent's line of comics. He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.
Radioactive Man[]
Wiz: To the youth of Springfield, from the delinquent Bart Simpson to the nerd Martin Prince, there is no superhero more popular than Radioactive Man.
Boomstick: To be clear, this isn't the Marvel Radioactive Man. He's a lot more green. Oh, and more radioactive looking. But the origin of our Radioactive Man is just as nuclear-powered.
- Background
- Real Name: Claude Kane the 3rd
- Member of the Superior Squad
- Partners with Fallout Boy
- Portrayed by Dirk Richter and Reiner Wolfcastle
- Stuck in a 1950s conservative outlook
Wiz: Before he was Radioactive Man, he was Claude Kane the 3rd, a playboy millionaire who just so happened to stumble across an atomic bomb testing site. I'm pretty sure he was leaving a party. Or going to one. Once again, not entirely sure, the comic outlining his origin got blown up by lightning.
Boomstick: Anyway, upon getting his pants' leg caught on some barbed wire, Claude spotted, "choke", an A-bomb and got caught in the blast!
Wiz: Miraculously, or commonly for the grade of superhero origins, he survived and was gifted with incredible powers. Knowing he had to use them for good, he donned the mantle of Radioactive Man.
Boomstick: Now, in the TV show itself, Radioactive Man leans a bit more towards being a copy of Batman, what with those campy older cartoons and that advert for perfume or whatever showing him riding a bike ala the Dark Knight. But in the official comics made by Bongo, he's much more of a super powered being.
- Powers and Abilities
- Superhuman strength, speed and durability
- Flight
- Radiation manipulation
- Nuclear Heat Vision
- Light emission
Wiz: He has your standard speed, strength and toughness and the ability to fly.
Boomstick: But if his moniker wasn't obvious enough, Radioactive Man can made use of several radiation-based powers.
Wiz: First and foremost, he can protect nuclear energy out his eyes like heat vision. This Nuclear Heat Vision is potent enough to melt through solid steel and immolate several unfortunate super villains.
Boomstick: To give you can idea of just how nuclear-infused it is, it ended up creating a genetically enhanced spider. Plus, it's useful for sealing up cracks in concrete and lighting up a disco ball.
Wiz: Speaking of which, Radioactive Man can emit a blinding flash from his whole body like a living flash-bang.
Boomstick: And if a situation arises, specifically a nuclear-level one, then Radioactive Man can act as a sponge to absorb the nuclear energy.
Wiz; He once did so when a bomb going off unleashed enough nuclear material to smother an entire city.
Boomstick: Looks like getting baked by an A-Bomb worked out for old Claude in the long run, although there was one slight deformity he had to now live with. You see that lightning bolt on his head. Well, that's no costume aesthetic.
Wiz: Yeah, it's actually a clump of metal that got lodged in Claude's skull the night of his empowerment. Whilst it makes for a pretty good-looking lightning bolt, the fact it's embedded in there all the time means Claude has to always wear a ridiculous top-hat to keep his identity a secret. I mean sure, a playboy millionaire is likely to be seen in one but it can be awfully inconvenient. Oh and there's the fact that if it gets removed, Radioactive Man will explode with the force of a 15 megaton bomb.
Boomstick: Oh damn! Yeah, best to keep that in there. Still, it's no real hassle for him, especially when it comes to kicking villain ass.
- Feats
- Bathed in lava
- Dodged laser cannon shots
- Absorbed the radiation from a mutant spider
- Lifted several tons of rubble and a machine
- Threw Doctor Crab into the sun
- Defeated Doctor Crab, Mirror Maidens, Retroreactive Man
Wiz: He's participated in all sorts of battles, even getting the drop on a villain with the technological means to reverse time.
Boomstick: He's even fought against the worst villain of them all - the Scoutmaster! He was so happy over his victory, he, Fallout Boy, the guys he just beat up and several girls decided to have a dance party. Oh, but that's not all.
Wiz: One time when a nuclear blast transformed all of Springfield into superheroes, Bartman brought him into the real world with some alien technology. Although it required a bit more thought on their ends to sort the crisis, when Radioactive Man came to blows with the new superhumans, he proved himself their better several times over.
Boomstick: He's fast enough to travel between galaxies in a short time and flew million of miles through outer space. And he's crazy strong too, once throwing Doctor Crab into the sun with a punch.
Wiz: According to sources, that punch must have exerted power worth 8 tons of TNT. Radioactive Man is also fairly smart, capable of expertly formulating strategies around his opponent's weaknesses, build complex machinery and even educate others in the basics of nuclear power.
Boomstick: Nerd! Well I guess that's what you get when you have a scientist for a dad.
Wiz: The popularity that Radioactive Man receives within the town of Springfield helps keep him as one of their most beloved characteristics. In his world or theirs, he will always up and Atom.
Crimson Chin[]
Wiz: In the city of Dimsdale...
Boomstick: Bwah-ha-ah-ha!
Wiz: Lives young Timmy Turner, who is helped through his frankly horrific life by his magical Fairy Godparents, who are ready to grant his every wish.
Boomstick: And what would you do when you have the means to get whatever you want with magic? Why, probably wish yourself to a superhero.
Wiz: Though Timmy took such a wish to a higher degree than usual and wished himself a superhero inside of his favorite comic book rather than in real life. There, he was Cleft, sidekick to the Crimson Chin.
- Background
- Real Name: Charles Hampton "Chuck" Indigo
- Has a radiation mutated chin
- Voiced by Jay Leno
- Portrayed by Adam West, who was also Cat Man his rival
- Always wears his mask
- Likes soap operas
Boomstick: Look at the size of that beauty! You can really tell this is a guy Jay Leno feels a strong personal attachment to.
Wiz: Ironically, that's kind of the basis of his origin as well. Before he was a superhero, the Crimson Chin was Chuck Indigo, a late night show talk host who just so happened to get too close to a guy he was interviewing and we don't mean in a friendly way.
Boomstick: By leaning too close to his guest, Chuck got himself bitten by them right on the chin. And as it turned out, that guest was radioactive. For some reason.
Wiz: Thus, Chuck's chin was mutated into the shape we all see today. On top of that, he also got superheroes, prompting him to take the mantle of the Crimson Chin to protect his beloved city of Chincinnati. Yep, it was probably called that before he became the Crimson Chin. Cheesy comic books don't make a lot of sense.
Boomstick: Are you calling the Crimson Chin cheesy?
Wiz: Yeah.
- Powers and Abilities
- Superhuman speed, strength and durability
- Mutated chin
- Fires energy blasts
- Enhanced senses
- Heat vision
- Flight
Boomstick: Oh good, I thought I was the only one. At least his cheesiness is used for heroics, like his powers are. He's got super-strength, super-speed and super-toughness. He can also fly and has senses heightened enough to hear crisis going on in the other ends of the city.
Wiz: He also has a number of vision-based powers. For example, there's heat vision but he can also use it to conjure up objects like suitcases or even gift others with superpowers.
Boomstick: Kind of like Piccolo's clothes beam. Weird but useful for the simple necessities.
Wiz: His eyes aren't the only thing he can project energy from. His chin can actually do the same. Plus, it makes a neat bludgeoning weapon.
Boomstick: Usually, people punch a chin. In Chincinnati, chin punches you!
Wiz: Like most sharp chins, the Crimson Chin's one is sharp enough to slash through solid metal.
Boomstick: Like Reese Witherspoon's chin. Or Henry Cavill's. Or Jim Carrey's. Basically like most celebrities' chins. I'm amazed he's even able to keep his identity a secret with it always sticking out like that.
Wiz: I know what you mean. Even in his civilian identity as a journalist he doesn't even bother to remove his mask yet does so for the rest of his costume.
Boomstick: And I thought most serious superheroes had to be surrounded by blind idiots for their everyday personas not to be outed. I suppose that's just the kind of world that the Crimson Chin lives in. A fictional one.
Wiz: A fictional one it may be but it is one still filled with a wide number of supervillains that the Crimson Chin regularly contents with. Most of whom are body-part themed, because of course they are.
- Feats
- Withstood being close to a radiating emitting robot
- Lifted a full bus
- Served as the basis for the powers of Might Mom and Dynamo Dad
- Survived an explosion that destroyed a cage he couldn't dent
- Defeated Bronze Kneecab, Nega-Chin, Body of Evil
Boomstick: Like the Bronze Kneecap or Titanium Toenail. And his own evil doppelganger, the Nega-Chin.
Wiz: Boomstick!
Boomstick: I said Nega. Ne-ga!
Wiz: Well anyway, speaking of doppelgangers, Timmy once wished both his parents to have superpowers and to be superheroes, citing Crimson Chin as an example for what they should be capable of doing. Meaning anything they can do, the Crimson Chin can do as well.
Boomstick: Like zoom around the Earth in less than a second or fly to the sun.
Wiz: That latter feat would have required Dynamo Dad to be flying at 140 times the speed of light (The real calc howard). Plus, they were once able to knock Timmy a vast distance from the city to a remote island.
Boomstick: By God!
Wiz: Ah, it's not what you think! He was Galactimus at the time and he parents didn't know.
Boomstick: I don't think that makes it any better. As Invincible showed us. But there was still some serious power behind those punches, and each one of them would of had to contribute at most 100 tons of TNT (Mr. Bambu). And yeah, since Timmy used the example of the Crimson Chin for there powers, he should be able to do all that as well.
Wiz: If not more. As a matter of fact, the Chin survived being caught in a blast that destroyed a cage he couldn't even dent, logically meaning the blast of yield of well over 100 tons.
Popup: Whilst Short-Fuse said it was indestructible on the inside and Chin commented how that would mean it's not on the outside, this was likely just a ploy to get him to explode and destroy the cage.
Boomstick: The Chin only has one real weakness. Chinonite, which turns his powers off. Oh yeah, and he can be prone to bouts of depression and isn't exactly the sharpest chin on society's facial structure.
Wiz: But whether it's in his comic world or the real world, the Chin sets the best example he can for heroism. Justice, thy name is chin.
Interlude[]
Wiz: Alright the combatants are set and we've run the data through all possibilities.
Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
The Battle[]
Setting: Comic book store
There was one comic left on the self, titled Radioactive Man versus the Crimson Chin, which was reached for at the same time by Timmy Turner and Bart Simpson, who both grabbed onto different ends. They both turned their heads to glare at each other.
Bart: Back off man, I saw it first.
Timmy: No way, I need to see the Crimson Chin pummel that Radioactive Dude into the ground!
Bart: Bah, you don't know just how awesome Radioactive Man is.
Timmy: Oh really? Why don't we have a look in this comic and see who's right?
Bart: You're on!
Comic Book Guy: Hey, this isn't a library you know.
The two kinds ignored him and opened up the comic, flicking to the part where the fight between their two favorite superheroes would fight.
In the comic world, Radioactive Man and the Crimson Chin stared each other down in a city, both their hands on their hips in heroic poses.
Radioactive Man; By the laws of cross-company interaction, we must now fight for no reason!
Crimson: Indeed! Let battle commence!
FIGHT!
The two superheroes charged towards each other in one go, Radioactive Man swinging out a punch whilst Crimson Chin swung his head to intercept the fist with his chin. The resulting connection resulted in a shockwave that shattered every window in a ten-mile radius before the body parts had finished grinding off each other. With his lower position due to using his chin as a battering weapon, Crimson Chin swung his fist up at Radioactive Man's chin, directly connecting with it. Radioactive Man however recovered from the attack and delivering one in kind across Crimson Chin's cheek, sending him skidding backwards. Radioactive Man bounded after him and swung another punch and once against Crimson Chin met this with his own attack, although this time it was with his fist. From there, they both unleashed a barrage of punches that all collided with each other, the resulting build-up of kinetic energy soon resulting in a small explosion that sent them both reeling backwards. Crimson Chin recovered first and with a loop into the air, took flight and zoomed towards Radioactive Man, his chin aimed out before him. Radioactive Man recovered in time to grab a hold of the chin with both hands and although he was pushed backwards by the force of the Chin's flight, his feet leaving twin gouges in the ground, he was able to stop it reaching his face. With a grunt, he turned himself about and hurled the Crimson Chin away, sending him smashing through the bottom's of several buildings.
He eventually ended up in the ground floor of a skyscraper which served as a parking area, pushing rubble off of himself as he stood back up.
Crimson Chin: By the Hairbun of Havoc, this is one tough foe! I will need to use all the strength of my chin to win!
Radioactive Man was then in the building before him.
Radioactive Man: Cease your ridiculous rhymes. Put em up!
The two flew at each other and collided mid-air, grappling with each other. This resulted in the two of them flying about all over the parking area, smashing into pillars and cars. One of these impacts saw Crimson Chin wedge in the side of one such car and ending his and Radioactive Man's grapple. The latter pulled his fist back to get a hit on the Chin, only for him to grab the parks on either side of him and slam them both around Radioactive Man.
Crimson Chin: Like a soiled sandwich, I will bin you!
Grabbing the metal covering now around Radioactive Man, Crimson Chin hurled the whole thing upwards and into the ceiling, shooting up into the sky like a bullet, tearing his opponent out of it to smash him through several floors of the skyscraper. Gritting his teeth, Radioactive Man unleashed a blinding flash from his body, leaving Crimson Chin with a glaring vision. As he cursed and rubbed his eyes, Radioactive Man busted out of his hold, interlocked his fingers and slammed his fists into the side of his head.
The Crimson Chin was sent flying away to smash out of the skyscraper, massive chunks of rubble flying out with him as a result. Seeing this, he zoomed around, gathering them up into a pile that he held above his head, which was the size of a house compared to himself. When Radioactive Man came out of the damaged building after him, Crimson Chin started hurling individual pieces of rubble at him. Radioactive Man flew around or punched apart them until Crimson Chin grunted and hurled every one of the remaining pieces he held at him. Radioactive Man activated his Nuclear Heat Vision, washing it over the pieces of rubble and fusing them into a massive boulder. He caught his newly-made construct and hurled it straight towards Crimson Chin, who was unable to get out of the way before it collided with him, burying him between itself and the ground.
Radioactive Man: And that's why it's important to recycle our most important resource; concrete.
The mass was suddenly split in half by a beam of energy, enabling its source to fly out into the air, his eyes still glowing.
Crimson Chin: I'll show you most important resource!
He unleashed another beam from his eyes and Radioactive Man responded in kind, the two vision-based attacks colliding. The surges pushed against each other for a moment before the Crimson Chin grinned and a second beam shot out of his chin to strike Radioactive Man in the chest, sending him flying backwards. He was able to right himself in the air, in spite of his smoldering chest and locked glares with Crimson Chin.
Radioactive Man: I am nearing the end of my patience you cherry-skinned chump!
Crimson Chin: As am I you bolt-headed dolt!
They charged towards each other and collided, the force sending them reeling back once again, yet they repeated this numerous times. Soon, they took to flying further throughout the city to attain more momentum, then all across the country, then all across the continent and then finally all across the glide, colliding with their blur trail-leaving flight. Massive shockwaves tore out from each collision until the latest ended up propelling the two of them into space. There, they engaged in more close-quarters combat, trading punches and maneuvering more freely thanks to the environment of space. One of Crimson Chin's punches was able to lay Radioactive Man out as though he was flat on his back, letting the former grab his leg and hurl him away. Radioactive Man's involuntary flight was strangely stopped, however, when he hit something; the edge of the comic panel.
He looked about in surprise before dodging Crimson Chin's punch, bringing his legs off to slam both his feet into his opponent's chest, sending him flying back to hit the other end of the comic book panel.
Radioactive Man: Hey, uh, do you know what this is? Because we're somehow miles apart in outer space yet can still see and talk to each other flawlessly.
Crimson Chin: I think my sidekick explained it to me at one point. I think they're 'framing devices'. But enough metaphysical nonsense! Time to end this!
Radioactive Man: Agreed! Up and Atom!
They both charged towards each other one last time, Crimson Chin holding his chin before him like he had done before to meet the fist that Radioactive Man swung out with. A shockwave boomed out from the point of impact, as the fist and the chin struggled against each other. At first, it looked like the Crimson Chin's slow forwards movement demonstrated his greater chance of overwhelming Radioactive Man, especially with how the latter's arm was being bent backwards. But, somehow, the fist pressing against the chin started to glow and it began pushing its owner back. Crimson Chin's eyes widened, especially since glowing cracks where starting to appear across his chin.
With one final grunt to show the strength he put into the punch, Radioactive Man sailed forwards as his fist smashed through the Crimson Chin's titular body part and his entire head, blowing them both to vapor. Ending up behind the headless corpse now floating through space, Radioactive Man shook his steaming and bloody fist.
Radioactive Man: Guess he decided he needed to talk to the fist.
KO!
Back in the real world, Timmy and Bart are still reading the comic until Comic Book Guy yanks it from their hands just as they get to the last page.
Outcome[]
Boomstick: By the hairs of my chinny-chin-chin!
Wiz: This battle was certainly one to make both our combatants bust out every trick they had and for the most part they had very similar power sets.
Boomstick: Not to mention the very same not-so-very smart kinds of heads on their shoulders.
Wiz: Well actually, in spite of it being reasonable to view the two of them as rather buffoonish thanks to the series they came from, Radioactive Man was actually a lot smarter than the Crimson Chin. After all, he's been able to create fully functioning machines and robots, even one of himself to act in his place whilst he was out of town. Sure he may have gotten some of its wires crossed but the fact he was able to construct and program it to perfectly mimic his behavior is proof enough he was much more of a thinker than the Chin.
Boomstick: And not only did he have brains, but most importantly, he had brawn. He's dealt with several threats that are fully capable of threating an entire city, like an incoming meteor, and he even has that same threat level inside of himself, due to how he can explode with the force of a 15 megaton bomb. Crimson Chin's durability may have been higher than 100 tons of TNT but nothing to suggest it was to a degree that could match Radioactive Man.
Wiz: And in speed, Radioactive Man once again had the edge. One time, when his sidekick Fallout Boy was in danger, he had to fly to another star cluster, which we compared to a real life one. Whilst it likely didn't take as long as the 12 hour highball we're going with, we found that nevertheless, to have travelled to another star cluster, he would have had to go at over 700 times the speed of light. Far faster than what the Crimson Chin scaled to, by which we mean Dynamo Dad's flight, which was only 100+ times the speed of light.
Boomstick: So Radioactive Man had the brains, brawn and speed to win.
Wiz: And we shouldn't forget of course the possibility that Radioactive Man could have absorbed the nuclear power from the Crimson Chin's chin, depowering him and ensuring an even easier victory.
Boomstick: So he had the brains, brawn, speed and nuclear based power to win?! Poor Crimson Chin. At least he kept his...hopes up.
Wiz: No pun about chins? Really?
Boomstick: Yeah, I felt that it would have kind of Chin-ting.
Wiz: The winner is Radioactive Man.
Next Time[]
In space
No one can hear them burp
Trivia[]
- The connection between Radioactive Man and the Crimson Chin is that they are both red-clad superheroes who exist with in-universe comic books in the series they appear in. Both have loud and larger-than-life personalities and obtained their powers through radiation, which left notable bodily additions; a lightning bolt embedded in his skull and an enlarged chin respectively. Both have been brought to life by certain means; Bartman used an alien device whilst Timmy used fairy magic. Both have been portrayed in-universe by animated parodies of real-life actors; Radioactive Man was played by Rainier Wolfcastle, a stand-in for Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Crimson Chin was played by Adam West.
- This battle would have been in hand-drawn animation
- The original music for this battle would have been called 'Radiating Crimson', based on both their names and color schemes
