Description[]
Record of Ragnarok vs. Hazbin Hotel. The God Father of Cosmos faces down another Original Man.
Introduction[]
Wiz: Zeus, God-Father of Cosmos.
Boomstick: Adam, the Original Dick.
Wiz: When humanity's final judgement comes, you shouldn't bother praying for it to be a merciful one if it's one of these two destructive deities overseeing it.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle!
Zeus[]
Wiz: With humanity having existed for over 7 million years, the Gods had borne witnesses to the absolutely worst of what they could do.
Boomstick: Figuring that humanity has finally run its course, they decided it was time to wipe the slate clean.
Wiz: But one Valkyrie proposed that Humanity should have a chance to earn their continued survival.
Boomstick: With the most kickass way imaginable-by pulling a collective Kratos and battling against the gods in a series of thirteen one-on-one battles.
Wiz: This was Ragnarok, and it was to be one for the Records.
Boomstick: Don’t try and rework the title into a statement, that’s my job with end puns.
Wiz: Believing it would be a simple exercise in reminding the mortals of their might one last time, the tournament was approved by the Chairman of the Gods, the God-Father of Cosmos and head of the Grecian Big Three, Zeus.
- Background
- Age: At least 13,800,000,000 years
- Height: 5’2
- AKA God-Father of Cosmos
- Chairman of the Gods’ Council
- Father of Ares and Hermes, but not of Heracles and Apollo
- Likes to be hyped up with Air on the G-String
Boomstick: Wait, that’s Zeus? But he’s so old and frail! He reminds me of Master Roshi when he isn’t-oh. Oh, I think I know what’s coming.
Wiz: And what was Zeus’ reason for allowing Ragnarok to happen? Why, because unlike other versions or the original myths, Zeus’ lust here isn’t for women, it’s for battle.
Boomstick: After getting himself worked up with the first round of Ragnarok, Zeus decided that he couldn’t bear to wait to be the final boss in this series. He decided to be the second, and forced Shiva to let him go next. Which is the reason, I’m pretty sure, why this series has been so unliked in India.
Wiz: With Zeus now in Shiva’s place, he could show off the full-scope of the abilities that made him the Chairman of the Gods. He possesses the standard incredible strength, speed and durability you’d expect from a god.
Boomstick: It is said any man-made weapon or means of offense is completely ineffective against the Gods without some sort of divine boost, and Zeus is no exception.
Wiz: And even if you are successful in, say, snapping his head all the way around, he can twist his head around good as new. and his trillions of years of experience have given him plenty of time to refine his fighting ability.
Boomstick: Unlike other versions of Zeus, this guy doesn’t fight using lightning or sky-themed powers, but instead the good old-fashioned way with his fists. And his ability to make his muscles grotesquely swell to make him an absolute unit adds to his punches’ power. Pretty gross really, especially since when he increases his entire body’s mass for combat, his head doesn’t grow in proportion.
- Powers and Abilities
- Godly attributes
- Muscle shifting
- Techniques
- Near-Lightspeed Jab
- Meteor Jab
- Divine Axe
- Zeus’ Footwork
- The Fist That Surpassed Time
- True God’s Right
- Adamas Form
Wiz: Zeus possesses numerous punching techniques to his name, such as his Near-Lightspeed Punch, where he strikes out in 0.01 seconds. His Meteor Jab is a barrage of punches, which increases in speed over time, from 0.01 seconds to 0.00000001 seconds.
Boomstick: Punches aren’t the only thing he can do. He also has a technique called Divine Axe, which is a straight-up gnarly leg-sweep, just as fast as the fastest Meteor Jab.
Wiz: But one of his greatest techniques is the one he learned by defeating his father in battle, Kronos, who was the Guardian of Space-Time. This was the Fist That Surpassed Time. At least, one can say it’s thrown in 0.000000000000000000001 seconds. And at most, based on its title and the fact that said number isn’t fully revealed, then its speed may even surpass the concept of time itself!
Boomstick: So in other worlds, hella-fast! He himself can go faster overall with some fancy footwork, and the Fist That Surpassed Time isn't even his mightiest punch! That’s reserved for usage in his ultimate state. By instead compressing his muscles rather than expanding them, Zeus enters his Adamas Form, where each one of his movements is fuelled by his full divine might. Including his ultimate technique, the True God’s Right. Which is a…left-hand punch. Still, it’s packed with Zeus’ divine force, which is said to make it completely unavoidable and a one-hit kill, even among the divine community.
Wiz: Adamas also boasts near complete invincibility, enough to take several of these True God Rights himself. And from who you may ask? Why, from the father of mankind, Adam, whose ability to perfectly replicate techniques meant that Zeus had his work cut out for him the second round.
Boomstick: Zeus didn’t mind the uphill battle though, relishing in the bare-knuckle brawl between him and Adam. Seriously, unlike that other version of Zeus we looked at, who cared about keeping peace through oppression, this Zeus is like a kid at Christmas at the prospect of a godly war.
Wiz: Not too surprising, considering there doesn’t seem to be much that can outright challenge Zeus. He was able to get the Indian God of Destruction Shiva to let him go next through some slight intimidation, and whilst Shiva wasn’t outright intimidated, Zeus still brought him to his knees with a hard press on his shoulder.
Boomstick: And this is despite the fact Shiva is said to be able to casually destroy the world. Oh, and get this, Zeus considers the Big Bang, the expanse of matter of a sudden, universal level, to be a mere thrill in comparison.
Popup: As this version of Zeus is the God-Father of Cosmos, rather than the sky or lightning, and considering his brother Poseidon could control the oceans as their god, Zeus can possibility manipulate the cosmos himself. Considering the Big Bang a thrill and defeating Cronos, the Guardian of Space-Time, may help support this.
Wiz: And remember all those zeroes in the seconds it takes for Zeus to throw a punch? Well, even if it’s only in quantifiable numbers, the fastest of them puts Zeus a little over the speed of light (Sparkive). But if he can go faster than even that, then look no further than his own brother, Poseidon, who outpaced the senses of those capable of watching and seeing Zeus’ punches as they were to instead generate afterimages from their perspective.
Boomstick: And do so enough to create a dome of them, no less! That’s twice as fast as light (Giannysmag).
Wiz: Overall, Zeus’ status as a god’s apex is not to be underestimated, but against the likes of Adam, he got the beating of a lifetime. Even his Adamas form was outlasted, on account of it only lasting ten minutes normally, and less so if he was hurt beforehand, leaving him all but defeated.
Boomstick: But sadly, whilst Zeus may have buckled under, it was not soon enough for Adam to claim victory, for the father of mankind died on his feet, even after winning the final punchout between him and Zeus.
- Feats
- Punches faster than light, and potentially even time
- Survived hundreds of his own attacks
- Considers the Big Bang a mere thrill
- Blocked the punches of Ares and Heracles (then Alcides)
- Defeated Cronos, Shiva, Adam
Wiz: Which Zeus was able to achieve by actively changing his strategy with the activation of his Adamas State; realizing he could not win with simple attacks, forced Adam into a contest of endurance, ultimately burning out Adam’s Eyes of the Lord and destroying his nervous system. Whilst Zeus’ victory over Adam was not the first of the gods’, it was perhaps the most devasting. And a reminder that what the gods strive for is victory. As said by Zeus himself, for as long as they fight, they will win. Such are the gods.
Boomstick: Indeed…especially through Wrestlemania style combat!
Adam[]
Wiz: Imagine, if you will, that the Biblical tale of the origin of mankind is slightly different. Not necessarily in the events that occurred, but the reason why they happened.
Boomstick: Like the Good Bad Boy version of Old Scratch in Paradise Lost, the Devil behind the fall of Eden was a dreamer, a visionary, and one heck of a songster.
Wiz: He hoped to spread the gift of knowledge to the humans, offering Eve the forbidden fruit. But knowledge can lead to both good, or evil, and unfortunately, evil was soon in so much abundance, that a separate dimension was formed for the deceased souls of those corrupted by sin to be essentially stored. Of course, we’re referring to Hell.
Boomstick: Thing is, it wasn’t so bad. You could somewhat lead a second life, and indulge in your vices without any real scrutiny.
Wiz: Well, this Hell kind of worked on the concept that “Hell is other people”.
Boomstick: Oh I can’t be bothered with metaphors Wiz, now hold still, I have a runny nose and I’m in need of your sleeve.
Wiz: Back off you! Now, considering the extreme ratio between those who go to Heaven and those who go to Hell, the former grew worried of two things; Hell’s collapse via overpopulation, or the risk of them using their massive numbers to bring a war to the Pearly Gates. Hard to tell if the continuity of the pilot still stands, the gap between it and the series was so big…
Boomstick: So the big-ups in Heaven where eager for something to keep them safe. And something was proposed, and since it was pretty much the Purge, you can already gather how much of a dick the guy who suggested it had to be. In fact, he was the Original Dick, the First Man, Adam.
- Background
- Age: 4.8 billion years
- Height: 9’2
- The First Man
- Ex-husband of Lilith and possibly Eve
- Leader of the Exorcists
- Favourite Food: Ribs
Wiz: It’s ambiguous to why and when Adam proposed the Exterminations. It may have just been to satisfy some deep-seated bloodlust or lean into his god complex as the first human in existence, which likely automatically earned him a position as an Angel. Or perhaps it’s some far-spread means of revenge against Lucifer, considering his first wife, Lilith, left him for the Fallen Angel.
Boomstick: So with an army of Angels at his side, dubbed the Exorcists, Adam would descend yearly upon Hell to slaughter without abandon. And he liked it so much, he decided the latest Extermination would roll around in only six months. Bad news for Charlie, the Princess of Hell, who needed time to find out is Sinners could be redeemed and spared. Also bad news for all those Sinners, because as a rule, Angels are, peer-to-peer, superior to their Demonic counterparts in terms of power. And Adam is no exception. Even Overlords, the strongest of Sinners, are sent running from your normal Exorcist, and Adam is leader of all of them. This gives him incredible physical ability, and with those wings of his, he can achieve speedy flight from which he can fire rays of light.
- Powers and Abilities
- Superhuman attributes
- Winged flight
- Light generation
- Cloud generation
- Gold Exorcist Summoning
- Portals
- Projection
- Immortality
- Reality Warping via singing
- Guitar Creation
- Functions as melee weapon and energy projector
- Can increase in size
Wiz: Not just any light, but specifically holy light, which is what gives Angels the unique, and very dangerous, ability to permanently kill Demons. A direct attack on the soul, this light can be fired as massive beams or wide blasts, or channelled through Adam’s weapon – his axe.
Boomstick: Wiz, nobody calls a guitar an axe anymore.
Wiz: I mean, he can use it like an axe. But by the way, there is such a thing as retro, you know. This guitar of Adam’s can function as both a melee weapon or a way to unleash powerful shockwaves or slashes of holy energy.
Boomstick: So that he doesn’t just shred notes, he can shred his foes. Plus, he can increase its size for more damage. And, perhaps most potently, he can perform a killer solo, for that is the power of Christian Rock!
Wiz: As a matter of fact, in this universe, it would seem that the concept of being in your own world while singing is a very literal thing. Charlie’s song, Inside Every Demon is a Rainbow, when viewed on a screen in-universe, is revealed to have literally taken place, even all the scenery changes. Considering the existence of magic, it’s easy to conclude that the songs sung end up warping reality.
Boomstick: Probably helps make them look less silly to an outside observer. And if that’s true, Adam was able to subject Charlie to some rather humiliating changes in location and warp space so that he could fly up high in a room where that really shouldn’t have been possible.
Wiz: During this, Adam also Demonstrated the ability to summon and control cloud formations, and call upon golden Exorcists as, ahem, hype-women. Furthermore, he wasn’t even really present at this event, instead using a projection of himself in his stead.
Boomstick: So he was able to do all that while still being up in Heaven, the Heaven he can conjure portals to and from, by the way, but the freaky thing is, he can also control the intangibility of this projection, to be untouchable on all levels.
Wiz: And speaking of untouchability, it is practically unheard of for Angels, let alone Exorcists, to be slain by a Demon in combat.
Boomstick: Until it turned out that to kill an Angel, you need an Angel’s power. If you’re able to get Angelic weaponry on hand, one successful strike is able to put an Exorcist down, which is exactly the same weakness as the Demons they face.
Wiz: Which brings to question just how different Angels and Demons actually are, but more importantly, tells us that Angels and Demons possess the same sort of immortality – the latter can be beaten, battered and even crushed, yet will shrug it off in short time, with even severed limbs said to heal over time. By sharing the same weakness, this means they should have the same limits.
Boomstick: The illusion of invincible Exorcists being shattered was the reason why Adam got the Extermination moved up half-a-year early, to make sure his image as the decimator of Hell went unchanged. And, honestly, he’s pretty much earned that rep. More than he does being the First Man, and that’s really saying something!
- Feats
- Split the Hazbin Hotel and its cliff in half
- Vaporized a giant airship with one blast
- Organized and conducted many Exterminations
- Shattered Alastor’s barrier
- Defeated Alastor, Sir Pentious, Charlie Morningstar
Wiz: Adam is best described as a juggernaut in combat, able to power through many forms of opposition and deliver devastating damage.
Boomstick: He was able to vaporize a giant metal blimp with a single finger blast, along with the other character his voice actor brought to glorious life, Sir Pentious. To get rid of it so thoroughly would take energy worth 45 kilotons of TNT (Minos the Judge), and that’s not even Adam’s best feat.
Wiz: He then went on to split in half not just the Hazbin Hotel but the landscape it was on, which itself is a blast worth 375 megatons of TNT (Minos the Jugde).
Popup: Charlie states that the Angels were responsible for shaping the universe, and the Ars Goetia Demon Stolas is arguable unthreatened by an exploding star.
Boomstick: And despite looking like he’s gained a few pounds, or maybe he just doesn’t wear flattering robes, Adam is logically a fast dude. And why logically? Well, as an Angel superior to Demons, he should be faster than the likes of this owl dude Stolas, who flew through outer space at speeds slighter faster than light (Nullflowerblush).
Wiz: Adam’s incredible power means that he’s even mightier than the likes of Alastor, the Radio Demon and, let’s all just admit this now, Tumblr Sexyman.
Boomstick: Adam might have been too undisciplined to make the fight between them an outright curb-stomping, but with one solid hit, he had old Al on the retreat. Even Charlie Morningstar, one of the most powerful beings in Hell, was unable to hold her own against him, especially since she had very little experience in using her full Demonic power, being the ray of sunshine she was. But you know who did? None other than her old man, Lucifer himself.
Wiz: Being an Angel of superior standing even with his banishment to Hell, Lucifer is naturally stronger than Adam, and easily trounced the Original Dick, leaving him at the mercy of his future killer, Nifty.
Boomstick: I agree, really was a good setup.
Wiz: No, I mean it was by someone named Nifty.
Boomstick: She had a nifty name?
Wiz: No! I…oh, forget it. Point is, Adam was dead, but with his second-in-command claiming charge of the remaining Exorcists, it would seem that his impact was not. Adam or no Adam, the Exterminations are likely to come again, and if not, revenge for the death of the First Man is.
Interlude[]
Wiz: Alright the combatants are set, and we've run that data through all possibilities.
Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
The Battle[]
Setting: Hell’s Pride Ring
Zeus, in his natural form with his arms behind his back, stood atop a massive mound of battered and bruised Sinners, who were all groaning in pain.
Zeus: And here I thought these Exterminations would be…fun. Where are those Overlords or Seven Sins?
As he peered out while scratching his head, a bright light pierced through the clouds behind him, and he turned to see an angry looking Adam flapping down in the light.
Adam: You old prick!
Zeus: Who, little old me?
Adam: Yes, you! Who said you could clean up these fucks when I’m not here!
Zeus: Well, you’ve had this little Exterminator-time to yourself for so long, I thought…that it was my turn.
Zeus’ eyes took on a dangerous look, as he turned to fully face Adam, who snarled at the declaration.
Adam: Oh, it’s your turn all-right! You’re turn!
Zeus raised an eyebrow.
Zeus: To die?
Adam: No, to…
After realizing Zeus had beat him to the punch, Adam summoned to hand his guitar.
Adam: To eat shit and die!
FIGHT!
Adam shot straight towards Zeus and swung his guitar down at his head. Before it could connect however, Zeus’ arm swelled in musculature and he blocked the attack wit his wrist. The impact travelled down through his body and blew apart the mound of Sinners Zeus had been standing on, giving room for the connected attack to knock him to the ground. He landed on his feet however, his back as straight as ever as he moved his smouldering wrist to look up at Adam.
Adam: Huh. Tougher than you look! But so am I, and since I already look like ‘’this’’, you know that’s saying something!
He once again shot towards Zeus with a wing flap, slashing out with his guitar, and this time Zeus jumped backwards to avoid it as it smashed the ground.
Zeus: Oh-ho! What poetry!
As Adam lunged at him, keeping on the pressure, Zeus landed and his legs instantly became muscular, rooting him to the ground and letting him catch Adam’s swing with both muscled arms without being pushed backwards. Last to become muscular was his main body, which ensured Zeus now towered over Adam with a sinister leer aimed down at him.
Adam: Oh buddy, if you are going for the GILF look, you’re only getting a score of six.
Adam snapped his fingers and a blast of light struck Zeus’ face, forcing him uncross his arms to push away Adam’s guitar, sending it flying from the Angel’s grasp. Regaining his focus, Zeus planted his feet apart and threw out a Near-Lightspeed Jab, which Adam narrowly avoided with a dive to the side.
Adam: Oh shit!
Zeus smiled widely and continued throwing Jabs, Adam avoiding the strikes with short flaps of his wings. Midway through his continuous dodges, Adam started firing blasts of light at Zeus, which left steaming patches on Zeus’ body as they connected. Nevertheless, the God-Father of Cosmos continued throwing out Jabs, which Adam continued to avoid. After ducking beneath the latest one, Adam snapped his fingers and summoned back his guitar before leaping over Zeus to land behind him, striking him all over his body with the guitar in the process. And to finish the manoeuvre, he banished the guitar, turned around and unleashed a two-handed wave of light from his hands to engulf Zeus.
Adam observed the thick cloud of steam with a smug grin, but it faded when it did to reveal that Zeus was standing basically unharmed, and was turning to face him.
Zeus: Not bad kiddo. I almost felt that.
Adam: Is that what she said?
Zeus chuckled, before whipping around with Divine Axe. Adam leaned back to avoid the strike but the shockwave of the move sent him flying backwards. Before he could fly back too far however, Zeus reached out and grabbed him by the bottom of his robe and swung him down into the ground. Adam hit the ground hard and looked up to see Zeus rearing a fist back.
Zeus: Nighty-night!
Before he could swing it down however, a Golden Exorcist projection appeared behind Zeus and grabbed a hold of his fist. Zeus’ attention was drawn to the interference and Adam fired two lines of light from either hand directly into his face, forcing the god back and giving Adam the chance to wiggle free. Zeus grabbed the Golden Exorcist by the face, crushing its head and tossing the body away to face Adam, who had retreated to a distance away. With a wave of his arms, Adam summoned more Golden Exorcists, which phased out of the ground.
Adam: Get him groupies!
The constructs obeyed, flying towards Zeus with Adam taking up the rear. Zeus let out a war cry and unleashed his Meteor Jab, the barrage of punches increasing in speed to take down one Gold Exorcist after the other. Soon, only Adam was left to carry on the charge but with the Gold Exorcists having served as shock-troops, Adam closed the distance to Zeus. The god slashed out with another Divine Axe kick, but Adam dove underneath it. And as he passed by, he summoned his guitar and slammed straight into the middle of Zeus’ exposed legs.
This had a larger effect that his blows prior, and Zeus went white in the face, doubling over and gasping, his whole body shaking. Adam landed, laughing his head off.
Adam: Oh, that felt so good! And that’s definitely what she said by the way.
Little by little however, Zeus got his spasms under control, and spread his legs apart. Adam’s laughter ceased as Zeus started tapping his feet rapidly against the ground, and suddenly he vanished from sight. Adam blinked in surprise before he was suddenly surrounded by a dome of Zeus afterimages, keeping him penned in. Adam looked around himself nervously and found his concentration wavering, from the sheer intensity of the flashing images and his eyes were soon spinning out of his control.
And with the Angel dazed, Zeus came to a screeching halt and pulled back his fist, invoking the power of his father, Chronos. The Fist That Surpassed Time thus shot straight towards Adam’s face, and when it reached, its sheer power blew a massive gouge in the ground behind Adam.
Who was completely unharmed by the punch, considering it had fazed through his head, which was now electronically flickering.
Adam: Oh yeah, that’s right…I’m not here!
The hologram of Adam – which had switched from hard to soft – vanished, much to Zeus’ surprise. A portal appeared behind the god and Adam flew out, his guitar in hand.
Adam: Got a bit too method there, but now you get the real deal!
He strung the guitar’s strings and a powerful shockwave rippled out, hitting Zeus square in the chest and sending him flying backwards. As Adam continued to play his instrument, the area warped and shifted around Zeus, clouds swirling to completely surround the backwards flying god. Zeus first smashed into golden gates, then as he fell towards, he found himself caught in a whirlpool of black and white, leaving him gagging for breath as he was spat out. Then, a giant crevice formed in the ground beneath Zeus and he plummeted downwards, only able to stop his fall by slamming his palms on either side of himself on both crevice wall. When he tried to use these holds to haul himself out, the gouge suddenly vanished, replaced by a flat surface Zeus hovered above for a brief second before a pot filled with steaming blood and gore fell, upside-down, on top of him.
The clouds surrounding the entire shifting scene dispelled, and Adam stood watching the upside-down pot, with its contents trapped against the ground, surely boiling Zeus alive.
Adam: Oh that was good! They should really hire me for set design…
The pot suddenly started vibrating and cracking apart, who sagged forwards and whined.
Adam: You’ve got to be shitting me!
He ducked beneath the shards of the cauldron which went flying out as Zeus smashed it away from himself, revealing that he’d entered his Adamas form.
Adam: Yuck! GILF score, two!
Zeus let out a sinister breath as he stalked towards Adam, suddenly planting his feet apart and pulling his fist back.
Adam: Oh, you don’t fucking learn! I’m too-
Before he could say or do anything else, the True God’s Right struck him straight in the face, shattering his mask and bloodying his newly exposed features.
Adam: …fucking…fast?
Another TGR struck him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him and another battered the back of his head, making him smash-bounce into the ground. This lined him up for Zeus unleashing a barrage of TGRs into his chest and face, sending golden blood flying everywhere. The golden blood stained the ground and soon Adam was lying among it, beaten, battered and lacking several of his teeth and one eye. Zeus looked down and him before turning away.
Zeus: You were a shit Angel…but an okay fighter. You can live knowing that.
He started to leave, but Adam rose back up, supporting himself on his guitar.
Adam: I’ll…live…with nothing!
He let out a war cry and charged forwards with his guitar – Zeus turned around in surprise and the blow from Adam with his instrument snapped his head all the way around. Adam panted as he stepped back, but then Zeus’ hand grabbed his shoulder. His pupils dilated as Zeus used his free hand to snap his head back around.
Zeus: Very bad choice of words kiddo.
The hand holding Adam’s shoulder tightened, breaking the bone and the Angel hollered in pain. Zeus didn’t stop there, pushing Adam against the ground, until the bones of his legs broke, folding in on themselves. Adam’s pelvis was next and then his ribs, leaving everything save his upper body a mangled mess. Barely able to think straight, Adam could only look up as Zeus lifted his foot and brought it straight down onto his face.
His whole body was finally, essentially flattened, into a bloodied, broken mess. His foot still among Adam’s mangled remains and his arms positioned so that he appeared to be giving a respectful bow, Zeus exited Adamas Mode with a puff of steam, and he puffed out a breath in exhaustion.
Zeus: Oh…my rattled bones.
KO!
Outcome[]
Boomstick: Shiva, you made the right call getting out of that shoulder hold.
Wiz: Looking at the big picture, Adam and Zeus actually had a few things in common but at the same time, Zeus could prove the eventual superior in basically all of them.
Boomstick: And that’s when he when he doesn’t obviously take the lead with other advantages. For example, extreme might. Adam might have enough power to break a mountain but Zeus is the leader of the gods, and at least two of them are said to be able to easily destroy the Earth.
Wiz: Now, in Hazbin Hotel, Hell may be the size of a planet itself, considering how it would have to accommodate a popular of Sinners, former humans, and that the show’s creator stated that it could be possible for a human who died on Earth to end up in a region of Hell which matched up. Eve eating the Forbidden Fruit is said to have created Hell, perhaps in same way the Angels created the universe. However, this is mainly speculation, and Zeus himself was tough enough to consider the Big Bang, a universe level event, a mere thrill.
Boomstick: Plus, the expansion of the universe was done by the highest Angels, and Adam doesn’t really seem to be one of them. Notice the difference in wing count.
Wiz: Both their recorded speed feats are fairly similar, going over the speed of light, and could feasibly rank up evenly, considering the increasing speed of Zeus’ Meteor Jabs and Adam likely being superior to Stolas, but only for a while, since the Fist That Surpassed Time, if it doesn’t do what it says it does, has a multitude of zeroes to its act.
Boomstick: Now, both are said to only be vulnerable to holy and godly means of attack but unfortunately for Adam, Zeus was too tough for it to be effect beyond negating this possible invulnerability, and even then Zeus took hits from his opponent’s Volund without much issue. And even if Zeus wasn’t naturally divine, the Einherjar in Ragnarok are said to be souls given form, and that’s what human-born Angels like Adam are. Zeus was able to harm and kill the other Adam, so this Adam didn’t have good odds of survival Adam - I mean either.
Wiz: Adam’s best opportunity for a victory was to wait out Zeus’ Adamas form, which left him in a weakened state. But not only was this something Adam was unaware of, but it wasn’t exactly his style to wait for openings.
Boomstick: Adam was a brute in combat, going for wild, powerful attacks at the cost of strategy. This let the much weaker Alastor dance circles around him, and what was Adam’s solution? Just attack bigger, and that meant next to nothing against Zeus. In fact, that’s rather similar to Zeus’ brother, Poseidon, and Zeus is the Greek leader for a reason.
Wiz: Zeus himself is capable of changing strategies mid-fight, so in the end, he also had the better battle-centred mindset between him and Adam, who only ever revelled in his superiority, both earned and unearned. Zeus’ strength, speed, durability and experience were legitimately earned, through and through.
Boomstick: Adam could never get First, Man.
Wiz: The winner is Zeus, God-Father of Cosmos.

Trivia[]
- Connections: Both are narcissistic and bloodthirsty divine leaders of certain groups (Gods and Exterminators, respectively) who plan large scale killings of mortal races (humans and Sinners, respectively) and seek to bring them to activation with battles (Zeus fights in Ragnarok and Adam contests with Charlie's wish to redeem souls). Both their introductions are punctuated by musical numbers (Air on the G-String and Hell is Forever, respectively). Both stage battles much sooner than expected (Zeus takes Shiva's place in the Ragnarok's 2nd Round and Adam moves up the next annual Extermination). Both also fight against powerful, protective divine fathers (Adam and Lucifer, respectively) and compete with turncoats to their factions (Buddha and Vaggie, respectively). Ironically, Zeus' opponent in Ragnarok was his series' version of Adam.
- Animation Style: 2D.
- OST Idea: "First Fathers of Cosmos", combining their statuses together.
