Intro[]
Wiz: William Afton. The purple child killer of Five Nights at Freddy's.
Boomstick: And The Spy. Team Fortress 2's backstabbing assassin.
Wiz: When being a killer, their kill streak will eventually come to an end when they are faced with certain death.
Boomstick: But the problem for these 2 is that you never know when they are really dead, no matter how many times you "kill" them. For 1 of these 2, that won't be the case for long. He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons armor and skills to see who would win a Death Battle.
William Afton[]
Wiz: Hey kids, do you like pizza? Well if you do then Freddy Fazbear's pizza is the place for you.
Boomstick: They have everything a kid could dream of. Robotic animatronics that are more memorable than the ones at Chuck E Cheese, really, really good pizza, child murder... wait wait wait what did I just read?
Wiz: Yeah, despite Fazbear's Pizza being a massive hit with kids, they also have had many MANY cases involving kids going missing and being killed. Seems weird how kids always want to go back to their restaurants.
Boomstick: It's more than weird. It's f%cked up!!! Who the hell could have been behind such a disastrous event? Well turns out that the killer was actually one of the co founder of Fazbear's Pizza at it's very beginning. His name was William Afton.
Wiz: While most of Afton's history is shrouded in many mysteries and, let's be honest, many theories, a few things can be made certain. Aside from being the founder of the place where he does his killings, he is also a family man with kids and he is also the founder of his own company in the name of Afton Robotics.
Boomstick: Which fortunately enough got shut down after one of his animatronics killed a kid who just so happened to be Afton's daughter Elizabeth and the rest going rouge and taking over a night guard's body, who might be Afton's son Michael? Ok, I nominate this guy for worst father of the year.
Wiz: For some unexplainable reason, the death of his kids somehow gave him an extra spark of inspiration to do even more killing. Even then his thirst for child killing goes back further when he killed a kid name Charlotte, who just so happens to be the daughter of his close friend Henry who along with Afton founded Fredbear's Family Diner. The beginning of Fazbear's Pizza.
Boomstick: So after him killing his old partner's kid along with the "accident" with his kids, he decided to express himself by going to the other Freddy's pizzerias and start killing kids. And he has been getting away with these kills for many years, all while keeping off the polices radar.
Wiz: Despite William living in a world of animatronics, he is actually quite the capable fighter. In fact some of his accomplishments could be described as superhuman to some extent.
Popup: While the games and the Silver Eyes novels are separate continuities, there is little differences to his capabilities.
Boomstick: He's surprisingly strong for someone of his size. Enough so that he could break a police man's arm. He's even got a knife which he uses to kill people. What? Were you expecting something else? It's just a knife.
Wiz: Aside from his strength and knife, he is also very intelligent. He uses this to mess with machinery. Most notably, he altered the Toy Animatronics model's facial recognition software. He has even used this to trick the original animatronics into a trap, in which case he physically dismembered them.
Boomstick: While it's somewhat debatable if he straight up broke their endoskeleton or not, but even doing so in the first place is seriously impressive.
Wiz: For a quick reference, real life animatronics are typically made of up common uses materials such as Steel, Aluminum, Plastic, and Wood. To fracture Steel in particular, it would require a force of about 60900 PSI to fracture. Which means William had to have hit with a force nearly equivalent to 12 million joules of energy.
Popup: William had made a comment in the books on what the Animatronics' Endoskeletons are made of. Most notably they're made out of steel and hard plastic, making their design materials consistent to similar real life animatronics.
Boomstick: In comparison, the strongest punch holder belongs to Francis Ngannou, who's strongest punch was recorded at 71,587.2 joules of energy. William just broke that record 166 times over. Damn dude. How many push ups, sit ups and juice did he do?
Wiz: But perhaps the one thing that eclipses his inhuman strength is his unbelievable undesirable Will to Live. As in, he is so determine to stay alive, he somewhat achieved immense resilience to power through even the most excruciating pain.
Boomstick: It's likely explains why he survived the Springlock suits closing in on him when he tried to use a spring suit to trick the souls of the kids he murdered years ago. As you can tell, it did not work well for him. But hey it did give him a brand new identity in the name of Springtrap.
Wiz: As Springtrap, his capabilities becomes a lot more deadly. Not only is his exoskeleton a lot tougher than his normal human body, but he should also be capable of feats other animatronics have performed.
Boomstick: Like his horrific creations, the Twisted Animatronics, which some are tough enough to survive cave ins, and even the original Animatronics can lift and hurl entire arcade cabinets like a whinny kid does with his controller every time they die in Fortnite.
Popup: It is debatable if William Afton is responsible for the creation of the Phantom Animatronics. However it is likely that the Phantom Animatronics are the games versions of the Twisted Animatronics which Afton had created in the novels.
Wiz: With all these abilities it's no wonder he has been able to cheat death time and time and time again.
Boomstick: The dude was tough enough to survive Fazbear's Fright's burning down. And that isn't even the last time he had a building burn on him. In fact years later he was tricked into another Pizzeria by his good old friend Henry, who just so happened attempted to burn down Afton and release all of the dead kid's souls that possessed the animatronics. And it worked for all of them... minus Afton.
Popup: The ending in Sister Location's Custom Night heavily implies that Springtrap was still inside the building as it was burning down.
Wiz: Ok so burning him alive doesn't seem to be the best option. Even in the books he has survived multiple springlock failures and has even gotten out of the suit when he was turned into Springtrap, though he was turned into a cripple. But back to the games, after that whole experience he took over the role of Burntrap who became even more resistant to heat. In fact his organic body is nearly non existent in this state. But of course it seem to have not lasted long.
Boomstick: Yeah because it turns out a giant blob made out of the other animatronics also survived and killed him... maybe. We just have to wait until the next game comes out.
Wiz: Now despite his seemingly immortal status, he is still human and comes with all of its flaws. Because sooner or later, he would end up fully dying. He was sent to hell of course but he would receive a fate worse than death itself. For one of the victim's soul named Cassidy, she wasn't on board with the whole dying act. So instead of killing Afton and being done with it, she decided to put Afton through an endless death cycle where he would continuously be killed by the very animatronics he has been associated with throughout his entire life. In the books he ultimately meet his fate at the hands of a furnace, killed by an amalgamation of the animatronics he help create.
Boomstick: But whether he was killed off or if he escape hell at all remains a continuous theory. Even after his death, his consciousness was somehow made into data in the form of Glitchtrap and possess some night guard chick name Vanessa to do his dirty work. Ok seriously, what the hell is this franchise?
Wiz: Well let's just say, it's really, really, REALLY wild. But just expect in the near future that William Afton will return to do what he does best, because in his own words...
William Afton: I Always Come Back.
The Spy[]
Wiz: During the years of the 1850s, a man left his sons with nothing but a huge chunk of land in New Mexico.
Boomstick: The intension was for the brothers to share this land because for all their life they had never liked each other. Not even once. And take a guess what they did when they learned their father's intension? You are most definitely wrong as one of the brothers hired a guy to build them a machine to extend their life. But guess what? That guy was tricked into building one for the other brother too.
Wiz: So seemingly trapped in a battle of ageless immortality, they decided to take the land of New Mexico by force. In doing so they hired 9 mercenaries through out the century in order to do so.
Boomstick: A great majority of these mercenaries were brash, straight forward, illiterate psychopaths. However one of the most feared mercenaries just so happened to be a smart, sneaky, skinny frenchman who is the undisputed king of the "Your Mom" joke... and is also just as psychopathic as the rest of the guys. Ahem... gentlemen, meet the Spy.
Wiz: Like many other serial killers, The Spy's early life is shrouded in many mysteries. But that isn't really a concern as that's all in the past. The only thing that matters to everyone around him, is what he does in the present.
Boomstick: Though he isn't all bad. In fact the mercenaries that he works along side can even be considered part of his own weird family. Not only do they fight with the enemy team just for a briefcase, but they also go on many wacky adventures.
Wiz: Though those weird adventures hasn't stopped the Spy from actually killing people, or helping a child kill a magician dresses as Santa Claus.
Boomstick: Despite being classified a defensive class, he isn't afraid to get in close and dirty. And the weapons he has on hands are more than capable of taking care of most foes.
Wiz: His standard firearm is a Revolver. Or more specifically his gun is likely based on a Colt Anaconda. A large frame double-action revolver with a muzzle velocity of over 1200 FPS that can deliver 780 pounds of energy.
Boomstick: But he doesn't always likes to use guns as his favorite weapon is a good old fancy Butterfly Knife. Which he mostly loves to use for backstabbing his enemies with a guaranteed kill. Not only is it efficient, it is also very VERY annoying. He can even mess with enemy machinery with his Sapper and can turn into anyone on the opponents team with his good old disguise kit. Basically his role is to piss off the other team's weapons and give them massive trust issues.
Popup: There have been rare occasions where he can't kill his opponents instantly with his backstabs. Characters like Saxton Hale and robots from Mann vs Machine can survive his backstabs, sometimes more than once.
Wiz: To be fair he does have a habit of using any weapons he can get his hands on. Like a Machete, a frying pan made out of gold, a voodoo pin, a Kunai that can somehow restore his health, and an award statue that turns his enemies into Australium. But perhaps his most versatile and dangerous weapon is the Dead Ringer. This watch lets him turn invisible for up to 7 seconds. Not only does it grant him a massive advantage when it comes to his stealth, he can even use it to fake his own death.
Boomstick: Ok. So he can not only turn invisible but he can also fake his very own death? That seems way too dangerous for someone like him or anyone else for that matter. Can you even imagine if someone like Saxton were to use this weapon? I mean that really isn't his only fake death button. His Invis watch lets him be invisible for up to 9 seconds and his Cloak and Dagger can theoretically let him stay invisible forever.
Wiz: Well there is a catch however. The Dead Ringer and his other weapons do consume a massive amount of energy. His Dead Ringer and Invis Watch do have a terrible recharge time and his indefinite invisibility with his Cloak and Dagger is only achievable IF he were to stand still.
Boomstick: WHAT??? That sucks. Standing still is a pain in the ass. Especially if your drunk. But I can't be too mad as he is quite capable of killing foes without it. I mean, the dude is has out-skilled many mercenaries and they have been considered to be one of the best fighters in their line of work.
Popup: Fortunately or unfortunately due to the work of Medic, The Spy no longer possesses a soul so it's likely he is immune to anything that could target his soul.
Wiz: He's skilled enough to ace the Sniper in close quarters combat, fast enough to backstab and kill his cellmate Joey Murders in the blink of an eye while facing away from him and on one occasion help killed a... giant mutated bread monster?
Boomstick: I mean, that isn't even the weirdest thing that has happened in the series. Plus he has even shown capable of fighting off all the other mercenaries, even the old school mercenaries that were hired to kill them. Heck since he can combat everyone else on the team we could easily scale him to feats the others have accomplished.
Wiz: Like the Pyro, who is fast enough to deflect rockets fired from the Soldier. And the Scout, who is tough enough to survive the same Soldier's rocket launchers 3 times at once.
Boomstick: And sure the Spy hasn't shown anything on that level but he has kept up with them on multiple occasions and the Scout wasn't even in peak condition when he survived those rockets.
Wiz: Though to be fair despite the Spy's mass assortment of feats, he is far from perfect. While his invisibility weapons makes him, well invisible they do not make him intangible. In fact certain weapons or objects could even expose his invisibility and disguises altogether. Whether it be flamethrowers or specialized eyes.
Boomstick: And if it wasn't obvious enough he isn't the most physically fit mercenary out there. I mean, why else would this guy's hobbies include backstabbing you and stealing your mama?
Wiz: Though that physical limitation hasn't stopped him from taking on foes far out of his league. And despite his cold personality he is very caring for his teammates. This would be most clearly shown when the Scout was on his death bed. Forcing Spy to reveal the most his biggest secret while in a disguise. He revealed that the Scout was actually his own biological son.
Boomstick: WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! You mean to tell me that the number one person that hates him the most, the one who constantly harasses him is actually his son?
Wiz: Yeah. I am not making that up.
Boomstick: Damn. Well it kind of sucks for Spy as the Scout later got better. Guess the humility he felt there?
Wiz: To be fair, family relations are something that don't bother him. He is still just a cold blooded killer either way, and not even his son or the rest of his teammates can stop this man from doing what he loves most. Killing.
Boomstick: And screwing your mom.
Spy: I am not one of your fried chicken tramps. I am a women. I like my men dangerous, mysterious. You want to be my lover? Earn it. SEDUCE ME!!!
Death Battle[]
We open up in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. It is the final day of the week on Night 7 and the night guard is beginning to begin what is surely to be a night of living hell. The hallways appear to be empty as the first 2 hours pass. The night guard gets up and leaves the office to see where the other animatronics are... all while lighting a cigarette. He walks into the main hall only to see it empty, even Pirate's Cove is abandoned by Foxy. Then suddenly he hears a noise coming from the back room of what sounds like machinery being dismantled. He walks into the back room and sees a man in purple who is William Afton violently dismantling Foxy. When he finished he turns his attention to the night guard, who looks unimpressed.
William Afton: Something the matter new guy?
The night guard takes another breath of his cigarette before he responds.
Spy: If that means my night goes by easier than by all means.
The night guard, AKA Spy, walks away. But not wanting to let his identity be blown, William secretly pulls a knife from his pocket and silently walks over to the Spy to kill him. But for him he doesn't know that he is trying to do what the Spy is most well known for, so his attempt fails when the Spy turned around at the last second and blocks his knife with his own knife.
Spy: Imitateur!!!
The Spy kicks William Afton away from him with Afton quickly recovering.
William Afton: Should have wondered why the freaking place would hire a guy with a mask.
With that sentence the Spy goes in for another chance of attack with William blocking his knife swings. The two goes at it for some time with William actually getting the upper hand and knocks the Spy's knife out of his hands. He goes for a swing but the Spy evades and punches him to the ground. The Spy looks around real quick and spots the Golden Bonnie endosuit, which he tossed at William head first. Assuming his target is dead, Spy walks over to his knife and leaves the area. But unbeknownst to him Afton is still alive. He takes a look at the Bonnie suit that was just "conveniently" thrown on him and puts it on. Spy hears some noise behind him, which alerts him that his target is not dead yet.
Spy: Zut...
The Spy turns around only to see William in the Spring Bonnie suit running at him Senator Armstrong style and punching him in the face. The Spy pulls out his wrist knife and cuts away parts of the Springsuit, and partially into William's body. But it barely fazes the dude and William counters with him breaking off the wrist knife. Afton then puts both his hands around the Spy's neck but before he could snap his neck, the Spy pulls out his revolver and shoots upwards at Afton resulting in the bullet entering his stomach and exiting around his collarbones. This doesn't kill William however but it does cause him to lose his grip on Spy's neck. William attempts to go in for a second go but the Spy avoids his attempts and grabs a nearby Frying pan and smacks Afton's face in with it, causing his face to bleed but not killing him. Afton goes for a punch but the Spy dodges again and causing the electrical outlet to become exposed. Spy breaks open the emergency axe case and uses said axe to put William's arm into the outlet. Unfortunately that also results in the place becoming on fire. And if things weren't bad enough the blood has gotten into the springlocks causing the suit to clamp down on William's body.
William Afton: God Damn It!!!
As the suit makes William's body look like hell, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was also on fire with the Spy avoiding the falling debris. Before he could make it out of there, his arm is grabbed by William, who's body is now in line with Springtrap's design and color.
Springtrap: No matter what you do...
Springtrap then grabbed Spy's body and throws him across the room. Ripping apart his suit.
Springtrap: I will always come back.
Spy: Putain d'enfer. You really like to hear yourself talk.
Spy gets back up and goes in to counterattack. He avoids a swing from Springtrap and uses that opportunity to stab him in the back with his knife. Springtrap yells in pain but he does not die. Springtrap grabs Spy's knife arm and yanks with enough force to force it out of his shoulder socket. And does another yeet for the hell of it, tossing Spy to the ground. With him being pinned down he takes another chance of breaking the Spy's neck. He doesn't do that however, instead he just forcefully rips his head off his body and does a Sub Zero pose with Spy's head in his hands... or so he does. Next thing he knows his right eye gets stabbed with a a voodoo knife. He takes the knife out of his eye and looks over to see the Spy holding a pocket watch, AKA the Dead Ringer. He walks slowly towards the Spy with him countering by shooting his revolver at Springtrap. He shoots into Springtrap's body multiple times but it doesn't slow him down as he is refusing to die. Spy eventually runs out of ammo and attempts to use his sapper... but it ended with Springtrap crushing it with his hands. They continues going in hand to hand combat as the Pizzeria continues to burn down. Springtrap gains the upper hand as he uses the voodoo knife to pierce into Spy's leg, crippling his mobility. Spy checks for his dead ringer but Springtrap takes it and throws it into the fire.
Springtrap: It's time to die you french bastard.
Springtrap goes in for a finale strike but Spy quickly pulled out an Award Statue to block the attack causing Springtrap's hand to turn into Australium. Spy uses this opportunity to strike Springtrap in multiple places with the Award Statue. He attacks him in his knees, his arms, his groin until all that could be moved was Springtrap's head. Springtrap tries in vain to move but he couldn't as Spy limps over to finish the job.
Springtrap: You think this will kill me? I will, no I will always come ba...
Before he could finish Spy smacked his head with the Statue causing his head and thus his whole body to turn into Australium. As the Pizzeria is on its last leg, the Spy pulls out a cigarette and lights it up with the surrounding fire, snorting in the process.
Spy: Come back from that... Connard.
As he leaves in the nick of time, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza burns to the ground with Springtrap inside it, ending the battle.
Results[]
Anonouncer: KO!!!
Boomstick: Uhh Wiz. I don't think ol Willy's coming back from that one.
Wiz: There were many things to consider in this fight. Both William Afton and Spy did have a lot of feats seemingly impossible for a regular human to achieve, but the Spy just had the better weapons and feats to match.
Boomstick: No sh*t he had the better weapons. One uses guns the other guy doesn't. Pretty clear as day who had the deadlier weapons. And don't even get started with battle experiences. Spy takes on multiple wacky foes on a daily basis while William never fought anyone note worthy in hand to hand combat. Hell he doesn't even fight anyone directly, not even the animatronics.
Popup: During UCN William does has access to the death coin, however UCN settings takes place where William is already dead and the death coin is only obtain through specific means, making it unusable in a random encounter.
Wiz: Weapons and skills aside, the Spy was also the faster opponent of the two. His rocket launcher reaction makes it clear as day where as William had no such feat of notable speed.
Boomstick: Though that doesn't mean William was totally outclassed. His ridiculous willpower and him surviving the Springlock failures means that the Spy's annoying backstabs weren't going to cut it immediately, but even then Spy's durability was a lot better than what Afton is capable of dealing.
Popup: As Springtrap he could be comparable to the Animatronics who could lift arcade cabinets. While the Spy hasn't shown anything to that degree, he has combated the Heavy who can suplex Ussuri Brown Bears which can weigh over 4 times the max weight of an arcade cabinet.
Wiz: Let's take a look at their greatest feats. Specifically William breaking the animatronics and scaling Spy to the Scout surviving multiple rockets at once. Now the type of rockets that were launch is very unclear. However given that they are supplied with some of the deadliest weapons in the world we can assume the warhead in particular to be somewhat similar to a TBG-7V thermobaric warheads, which has a blast radius of about 10 meters. With this and multiplying our total energy by 3 means the Scout had to have survived an impact worth 286 million joules.
Boomstick: That is like getting hit with 151 monster trucks ramming you at top speed and over 23 times greater than Afton breaking the Animatronic's endoskeleton. So even though Spy didn't quite have that "will to live" power that William had, his durability more than compensated for it. And don't forget that the Spy normally combats these types of characters on a daily basis, meaning he should be capable of a similar position in power. Sure as Springtrap his outer body is a lot tougher than his regular body, but I don't think hard plastic is gonna shield you from a gunshot, especially with a decayed body inside the suit.
Popup: There are a couple of other feats that supports this level of durability such as the Pyro surviving a building bursting into flames while still inside and the Spy himself can barely survive weapons that can disintegrate cows.
Wiz: And not to mention all of Spy's other weapons that can gravely damage Afton. His firearms granted Spy the advantage in range, his Conniver's Kunai can take advantage of his will to live by draining his health with every strike, and his dead ringer and invisibility made it a lot more convincing that the Spy was actually dead than William and also granted Spy a lot more options for counterattacking.
Boomstick: Wait Wiz, I though William Afton's willpower granted him immortality, causing him to always come back. Shouldn't he just come back from anything Spy can throw at him?
Wiz: Sure at first glance William could just come back for what should honestly kill a normal man, but even he isn't immune to pain and has even canonically died across multiple pieces of media. And even then, the Spy has also survived events that would also be capable of killing a normal man.
Popup: While William was theoretically alive in the events of Security Breach, it is left unclear if he himself actually survived the event of Pizzeria Simulator on his own. Several theories suggest that Vanessa (who was under Afton's control) assisted in forming his new body in that game, suggesting that he is incapable of healing from his body on his own if it is too damaged and or destroyed.
Boomstick: Even if we did take that into an account it wouldn't change the results by much as the Spy's Saxxy Award Statue could just turn him into a piece of motionless Australium. Good luck to Afton trying to come back from that.
Wiz: William Afton was certainly a challengingly tough foe to put down for your average human, but he just couldn't keep up with the Spy's speed, toughness, experience and frankly obscure weapons and gadgets.
Boomstick: Well what can I say, Spy really snuck up to Afton's death by the night.
Wiz: The winner is the Spy.
