No one said war didn't have casualties. Or crime fighting for that matter. And many good friends have been separated through death. Or did they? Jason Todd, the Red Hood. And James Barnes, AKA Bucky, the Winter Soldier. And it's my job to analyze their weapons, armor, strengths, and skills to see who would win… a death battle.
The Red Hood
Background:
We meet again Batman. As Batman is personally my favorite superhero I will try to not be biased. Anyways, Batman is a master detective, martial artist, escapist, and stealth combat. He is so stealthy though he can sneak around Superman's hearing. So with all this you would think he would have no problem defending Gotham city. But all heroes need help so Batman hires a teenager from the circus after his parents died. This was Dick Grayson, but he went off to become the nightwing. And initially Jason Todd was an acrobatic, whose family was killed by Killer Croc. And so Bruce Wayne let him in. Well that's stupid and lazy, so I'm going with the next backstory. He was an orphan in a school for troubled youths. And after stupidly trying to steal the wheels off the batmobile, he encountered Batman. Who let him in after he helped him apprehend some thieves. But one thing's for sure, his father was a petty crook who was put in jail. And his harsh life gave him a great rage within. His darkness was a pretty big deal, as Batgirl even warned Bruce about it. And Batman even worried he might become a criminal himself. However he eventually found that his drug addicted mother was NOT his biological mother. And so he searched for his real mother. And he found her, but turns out she was working with the Joker all along. And so she turned him in. He was brutally beaten by the Joker with a crowbar, followed by him and his mother being left behind with time bombs. Batman tried to help but it was too late. Jason was dead. Or was he? After Superboy-Prime reset the timeline Jason broke out of his grave and found his death not avenged. He then took on a new suit and donned the name, the Red Hood.
Powers and Abilities:
As Robin, he was not as acrobatic as Dick Grayson, but he makes up for with rage and anger, giving him strength. And as he was trained by Batman he is a master martial artist. But since his resurrection he was given further training and is far more skilled than before. He is in peak physical condition and a skilled swordsman. He is a great bomb defuser and maker. He can disarm anything from as small as a grenade to a nuke. He is a great vehicle driver as he can pilot most vehicles with extreme efficiency. Batman also trained him as a master detective, along with being multi-lingual. But since he was also trained by Batman he has some gear to help him in a fight. Unlike old bats who prefers to not use a gun or kill, Red Hood has no problem with it. He has batarangs, a knife, electric wings to fly, tasers, automatic handguns, and twin blade kitanas. With which he can slaughter people if he chooses to. Unlike Batman who prefers stealth and brains over everything else, he uses a more direct method of attacking. He also never ages and has regeneration.
Feats:
This guy is extremely tough and skilled. He managed to hold his own against Batman and Nightwing at the same time, defeated Tim Drake at Titan power, and held his own against Green Arrow in a sword duel. He leads the outlaws, showing he is capable of working with others. One time he even portrayed As batman. As well as beating the Joker. Whome he at first wanted dead so he began with a crowbar as well. And he survived falling off a speeding train.
Weaknesses:
However he prefers a more aggressive nature as I've stated before. And while that works fine for him, it makes him a bit lacking in strategy. His temperament can be a problem and he has suffered losses from Green Arrow, Nightwing, and such.
But I guess that's what limits him from being a perfect super soldier. And his temperament seems to work most of the time.
The Winter Soldier
Background:
Born in 1914, as the eldest of four children, James Barnes grew up as a successful athlete. Along with excelling in his classroom. And he saved Steve Rogers from some bullies who were picking on him. The two became best friends quickly. And even after Barnes' mother's death in 1936, they would stick together til the very end. One year later America joined WW2. And Barnes, being a 3 time YMCA welterweight boxing champion, joined the fight. But eventually he was captured and put into an experiment from Hydra. However Rogers became Captain America, and he freed him along with the other prisoners. They became partners in war. And everything was fine, until Barnes fell into an icy river and everyone thought he died. However those experiments Hydra did on him lead him to surviving the fall. He was found by Hydra and the only casualty was his arm. So they gave him a new mechanical arm, and with it he became a great killer as his mind was wiped every time a mission was completed. And this would go on for 50 years, as he assassinated target after target. He had other achievements like leading/training other winter soldiers. And after after 70 years he found Captain America. He kept his ways but he slowly started changing as Cap told him something that was said at his mother's funeral. And eventually realized Captain America was his long lost friend. And so he saved his life, followed by going on the run.
Powers and Abilities:
And if he is discovered he has plenty of abilities to help him out. He has enhanced physiology as he was given a mechanical arm along with a super soldier serum. He has strength equal to that of Captain America and shoot out an EMP which neutralizes all mechanical devices. He also managed to fight Spiderman and Black Panther with ease. But that Mechanical arm is greater than any man, even Captain America. He could rip a Shield SUV with his bare hands. He can get ahead of Captain America, who can run at 30 mph with ease. He has super durability, stamina, reflexes, and even a healing factor. He is also a master in martial arts. He is profound in Kali knife fighting, boxing, Taekwondo, and Krav Maga. He is an expert marksman and master assassin. He is also a great master acrobatic and can fly a quinjet after killing its pilot. As the winter soldier he always carries a Gerber Mark II Combat Knife, which is his prefered close quarters combat weapon. But he also has guns, lots and lots of guns. He has Sig Sauer P220ST, which is a pistol that is used by many armed forces and police. He can also duel wield a Glock 19 with a Sig Sauer P226R. A COP .357 Derringer, Intratec-38, A Vz.61 Skorpion machine gun, Colt M4A1 grenade launcher, Barrett M82A1M heavy rifle, Milkor MGL revolver grenade launcher, and a RGN Hand Grenade. Holy shit this guy comes prepared. His suit saves him from small firearms and provides extreme flexibility.
Feats:
This guy is tough enough to survive a fall off a train and into ice(before the winter soldier transformation), fight to Black Widow and Black Panther in close quarters combat, give Captain America a run for his money, shoot a guy by shooting Black Widow's stomach to get through to him, shoot Nick Fury through a wall while on another building, catch Captain America's shield without flinching, precise enough to catch a grenade and throw it back, and got out of the way from Falcon's twin pistols, which are even better with his precise scanning.
Weaknesses:
However sometimes an good electromagnetic pulse could make his bionic arm useless. And again his suit only lightly protects him from weapons.
But if you can fight most of the avengers with ease, and keep a 70 year streak of successful missions, it's kinda hard to lose.
The Fight:
All right, this fight will take place at a Hydra base where Red Hood is looking for Bucky. The only prep time is them gathering their entire gear. But they have ZERO knowledge of each other's fighting style, arsenal, weaknesses, anything like that. Names not prohibited.. And with that said...it's time for A DEATH BATTLE!
Some scientists are running away as the alarm blares out. And Soon one of them is caught by the Red Hood. He then gets him with a knife to his neck. "Alright, where is this winter soldier everyone talks about."
"He doesn't work for us anymore...I don't know where he is now…" the worker says with a bit of fear. "Is that so, I'll get an answer out of one of you." Red Hood says before snapping behind to see a wall blown up. Then the Winter Soldier comes in and sees the Red Hood. Red Hood slashes the scientist's neck and throws him to the ground. "You look interesting. Name please?" he asks. The Winter Soldier replies,"Bucky, and you must be the Red Hood. You've caused some trouble I can see."
"That arm, it's mechanical. You're the Winter Soldier, the famous assassin," Red Hood replies. "Correction...I was," Bucky says as he pulls out his twin pistols. Red Hood pulls out his two pistols as well.
FIGHT!
They begin firing their bullets at each other while the other is avoiding them. And when they run out of ammo, Red Hood begins charging forward and they begin using their martial arts to counter the other. When Red Hood pulls his knife out he begins trying to stab Bucky, but Bucky grabs it and headbutts him to knock him back. Red Hood gets up and throws some batarangs at Bucky, but when they hit his arm they bounce off. Red Hood then goes to him, but is knocked back as Bucky uses his knife to stab him. But the healing factor protects him from dying, even when the Winter Soldier follows with firing bullets in his legs and kicks him back. Red Hood gets up and begins taking cover behind a wall. Bucky then uses his rifle to fire through it and hit Red Hood once again. Bucky moves forward to check on him, but sees he's not there. After turning to a hallway he sees the Red Hood getting into a hangar. When Bucky goes over he is then attacked by the Red Hood piloting a jet. When Bucky gets on his feet he jumps onto the jet, breaks the glass, and pulls Red Hood out. They begin falling back into the base. They smash through the roof and onto the hard, metal floor. Red Hood gets up and pulls out his kitanas. Bucky pulls out his knife and slides to get past the swords, and stabs Red Hood's leg and steals one kitana. They begin a sword fight, which Red Hood wins and begins using the electric wings to fly him up. Now on top of the building he begins trying find a way to get in and get Bucky from behind, but then he's dragged back down. Red Hood uses his knife to attempt to stab the Winter Soldier, but his mechanical arm blocks it and pushes him back. Red Hood is cornered into a contained room. He throws a grenade at bucky, but he catches it and throws it back. It blows up and knocks him back. Then with the Milkor MGL revolver grenade launcher, he fires all six shots into the room. This makes it explode. But Red Hood gets out slowly and pulls out his tasers to stun Bucky and get a good hit on him. Bucky pulls out his machine gun and begins pumping Red Hood full of lead. Bucky then tosses Red Hood into a wall, followed by a knife slash and a punch. Bucky withdraws and when Red Hood gets up, Bucky waves goodbye. When Red Hood looks down he sees there is a grenade in his wound. But before he could get it, it blows him to pieces.
K.O.
The Winter Soldier takes the Red Hood's mask and leaves the remains behind.
Reasoning:
Red Hood may have superior armor and possibly have more martial arts, he falls flat everywhere else. Now before you go saying that Red Hood was trained by Batman and Bucky is similar to Captain America, you have to consider a better reason. Why? Well, Red Hood focused more on brawn vs Batman who focused more on brains. And shear force cannot take the Winter Soldier down. His mechanical arm also gave him even more strength so he could stop all of Red Hood's direct attacks. Bucky also has a greater arsenal in comparison to the Red Hood's, and even if he got a vehicle Bucky can take him out of it with ease as he took out a quinjet. His superhuman abilities surpassed all of Red Hood's as he is just the peak of human level. But the biggest reason why Bucky takes this is that he's had over 50 YEARS OF COMBAT EXPERIENCE. And the one thing Bucky never lost in his brainwashing is his training and knowledge of his gear. This has pretty much prepared him for anything. Without the brains of Batman there really wasn't much the Red Hood could do. His mask isn't the only thing red now.
The winner is the Winter Soldier.
Tune in next time for a battle of the blind warriors, Daredevil VS Kenshi.
