I own nothing.

I've gotten a lot of complaints about my last battle about the Slayer and Flynn Taggart being different people. Death Battle has mixed up canon material before, so I decided to do the same here. I put a lot of work into it, I am not rewriting it. If you don't like the chapter, just skip it.

Oh, and to the guy who gave me some information about Spawn…I get most of my information about these people for the internet and from the brief movie and HBO series, so don't expect all my information to be 100 percent accurate.

Oh, and for the record, the Batman featured in all his battles will be from Arkham Knight and Spiderman will be from Spiderman PS4. Why? Because they look cool.

Chapter 16: Defenders of the cities clash. Batman vs Spiderman.

"So do Marvel and DC have some kind of rivalry?" Chopper asked.

Isom said, "Yeah, the two have ben rivals in terms of money in both movies, games, and comics for years. You can expect their characters to show up and clash a lot."

Luffy said, "It's starting."

The music started.

"Defenders of the lone and helpless," Wiz started, "The superhuman heroes of their cities. We are pitting two of comics and videogames most iconic heroes against one another.

Boomstick declared, "Batman, the dark knight of Gotham City."

Wiz said, "And Spiderman the friendly neighborhood hero of New York City."

Chopper got all starry eyed and said, "Wow, they look cool! Imagine if I were hero."

Usopp grinned and said, "I already was. All criminals who face us, will bow before the Sniper King."

With a smirk, Isom declared, "With the great C embedded on his cape! Behold! The mighty Chopperman!"

Chopper giggled happily and a few of the others laughed.

As they displayed the images of the two competitors, Wiz said, "Now, both Batman and Spiderman show a unique challenge, as they can take down almost any opponent with enough time, so we'll be putting them in battle gladiator style."

Usopp said, "So these guys try to be prepared. Wish we could do that. Having something against all those zombies from the beginning of Thriller Bark would have been useful."

Isom said, "Batman does try to prepare for every eventuality, but the problem is that it has made him a bit paranoid. Sometimes you just got to roll with the punches."

Boomstick said, "I'm Boomstick, he's Wizard, and welcome to this week's episode of Death Battle."

The doors closed and reopened.

Wiz said, "As a child, Bruce Wayne lived an easy life of splendor with his father and mother, Thomas and Martha Wayne, a doctor and humanitarian respectively."

Bruce Wayne

Age: 41

Height: 6'2''

Weight: 210 lbs.

Hometown: Gotham City

Net Worth: 9.2 billion dollars

Favorite Meal: Mulligatawny soup

Has kissed more women than 60 women and has had 23 girlfriends.

"N…Nine point two billion dollars!?" Nami almost had a heart attack as she saw the scientist net worth."

Isom said, "To be honest with how Batman is, I woulnd't be surprised if that would become his bounty."

Luffy asked, "Hey, Sanji what is Mulligatawny soup?"

Sanji explained, "It's a chicken soup with several different ingredients. On a side not, how did this guy get so lucky with the ladies?! I want that luck, damn it!"

Luffy, ignoring what was said, said, "We're having it for dinner."

Franky asked, "I wonder what that would happen to a rich guy to make him become something like that?"

Boomstick said, "Yeah, this kid had it made. A huge home, a shit ton of money, and loving parents. However, all that changed when he was eight-years-old."

The gun loved looked at the camera and said, "What do you expect? Its and origin story."

Wiz said, "One night after seeing a movie, a man named Joe Chill came out of the darkness and held the Wayne family at gunpoint. During the mugging, both the Wayne patriarch and matriarch were killed, leaving Bruce in the hands of his faithful butler, Alfred Pennyworth."

"Oh, my goodness," Nami said, seeing some parallels between this incredibly rich man and herself, remembering the murder of her adopted mother.

Franky said, "Hey, Isom is that a good thing…his butler?"

Isom answered, "Alfred is considered a badass mother-butler by their Jocelyn the Intern, and he can back it up. He's a former spy turned butler, and believe me. I can show you at the end if you want me to."

Boomstick declared, "One of the most badass mother-butlers you've ever met, but let's focus on the kid. He didn't stay home. Enraged at the unfairness of his parents' murders, Bruce declared that he would dedicate the rest of his life to fighting crime."

Wiz said, "And we don't mean by upgrading the police force with modern technology. Bruce would spend the next several years travelling the world looking for masters to teach him the ways of combat, and several other methods. He would eventually return to Gotham but found that it had changed."

Zoro simply said, "Yeah, places tend to change after several years. I wonder if I would recognize my old hometown?"

Chopper nodded and said, "Yeah, with the new King, I wonder if I would recognize Drum Island."

Nami said, "With Arlong gone, I probably wouldn't recognize my home in a few years."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, Gotham had crime before, but in the several years he was gone, it had gone to shit being filled with all kinds of crazy people, and a corrupt police force. If he were to do what was necessary and defend his city, he would need to become something more…a being that could strike fear into his enemies."

Wiz said, "Taking a message of becoming what he fears, probably a little too literally, he projected a fear of bats into a disguise that would become beloved by the people and hated by the underworld. He became the Batman!"

Boomstick said, "For several years, Batman would proceed to make the underworld of Gotham his bitch. I mean, the guy's shadow alone is enough to make hardened criminals cry for their mommies and shit themselves."

Zoro smirked and said, "The same could be said about pirates and certain members of the navy."

Isom joked, "Or Usopp when he gets into a dangerous situation."

"Hey!" the sniper yelled in indignation."

Wiz said, "All this is done with psychological warfare. While Batman is not superhuman, he makes it seem like he is via his large arsenal."

Boomstick said, "And all the while he plays the part of a rich, arrogant playboy, mainly so nobody suspects that he is a secret vigilante, and it works really well. I mean, the guys got a shit ton of money, more cars than he knows what to do with, and has the ladies laying themselves at his feet, lucky bastard. Who would think that he is a super-hardened badass?"

"Ah the secret identity," Isom said, "An integral part of any superhero."

Robin rubbed her chin in thought and said, "So he acts like a playboy to put distance between himself and his superhero persona. Clever."

Isom said, "That is a thing with a lot of superheroes. They typically act different. Acting shy, weak, timid, or clumsy to put distance between their heroic personas or to hide their abilities."

Wiz said, "Those years Bruce spent travelling the world allowed him to sharpen his body and mind."

Wiz said, "During the years Batman trained extensively in all kinds of fighting. He has mastered not only the use of different weapons, and martial arts."

Boomstick said, "And we aren't just talking about knowing how to throw a punch. He's mastered literally mastered an improved all 170 types of martial arts, through he specializes in unarmed combat."

Sanji whistled and said, "He mastered all the styles? Wow. That's impressive. This guy is like a jack of all trades."

Isom snickered and said, "More like King of all trades, master of all."

Wiz said, "To be specific, he has made his personal style a mix of Jui-jitsu, Taekwondo, Judo, Muay Thai, Savate, Karate, Kung Fu, Boxing, Capoeira, Krav Maga, Aikido, and Ninjutsu. And with all his knowledge of martial arts, he can mix other styles together, and use different weapons. All of this is backed up by Batman's incredible strength. He's easily capable of punching someone through a brick wall. It is even stated by Deathstroke, one of the greatest assassins in the world, that he hits harder than most people with superhuman strength."

Zoro said, "Okay, now I want to fight this guy. If he can hit that hard, I wonder how he'd do against my swords."

Isom answered, "With how many styles he has he could easily disarm his you and then kick your ass with his bare hands."

Boomstick said, "But that's not all. He's also a master of escapology, tracking, the art of disguise, detective skills, marksmanship, spying, and various other things. All of this is combined with his genius level intellect, which makes him not only a versatile fighter, but giving him the title of the world's greatest detective. Eat your heart out Sherlock Holmes."

Boomstick sighed and said, "Dang. Wish I had some of these skills."

Wiz said, "Actually Boomstick it is believed that it is possible to become batman. It would just require a strict diet, study, and sleep schedule."

Zoro said, "My work out routine could work."

Chopper said, "This guy must have gone through hell if he can survive all that. Do you think you can get me some information on that?"

Boomstick blinked as he pulled out a beer and said, "I don't think that'll happen for either of us Wizard."

Wiz asked, "Because of the prosthetic or because you love beer too much and I spend too much time in my lab?"

Boomstick chugged his beer and said, "A bit of both."

Getting back to the matter at hand, Boomstick said, "Anyway, because of all this the training Brucey boy went through made him incredibly powerful, at least for a human."

Wiz said, 'That's right. Batman is not superhuman, but he is at the peak of human physical power. He can lift over a thousand pounds, is fast enough to dodge through multiple opponents without being discovered and even perceive bullets in slow motion in mid combat, can fight for several hours without tiring, and can survived getting his ass beat pretty bad."

Boomstick said, "Damn, are you sure he isn't superhuman?"

Sanji said, "He seems pretty tough for someone with out Haki or that devil fruit. I wonder what would happen if he ever came here?"

Isom said, "No doubt, a lot of marines would be afraid of their own shadows after that, given how he hates corruption."

Zoro said, "And he did all this with his strength of will alone and through training. I think I found my favorite hero."

Wiz said, "Yes. Combined with his iron will Batman's training has left him with thicker muscles and great mental power and focus. Thanks to a special diet, his metabolism allows his body to heal faster than normal. His senses are even so trained that they almost act like a sixth sense. Once, he even heard a sniper load his gun from a block away."

Usopp gulped. His long distance against powerful opponents was what he used to survive in many cases, plus his diverse arsenal of ammunition. If he could make out his slingshot being pulled back, it would be a problem.

Boomstick said, "Damn, now I'm starting to rethink that schedule, but that is only his abilities. All of which are augmented by his only real superpower…having all the money!"

Wiz nodded and said, "Thanks to his family's company, Wayne Enterprises, Batman has access to all kinds of gadgets and machinery. The most notable being the batsuit…or batsuits."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, Batman has tried to be prepared for anything. He's made tons of batsuits over the years, and there have been dozens of incarnations of it over time."

Franky whistled and said, "Dang. How does he manage that? You think people would notice a brand name on the guy's stuff."

Isom answered, "He doesn't go labelling everything his company makes."

Brook said, "Now, I wonder what this man has outfitted himself with?"

The Batsuit

Armor

-Kevlar and Titanium Mesh

-internal fluid armor weave

-insulated

-flame retardant

-conceals heartbeat and body heat

-theft proof

Cape

-lightweight

-glider

Gloves

-reinforcement

-shock mode

Gauntlets

-retractable blades

Boots

-reinforcement

Mask

-lead-lined

-para-aramid fibers

-infrared

-auditory sensor

-detective mode

-transmitter-receiver

A hologram of the batsuit appeared and Wiz said, "The batsuit is made to be the ultimate lightweight tactical armor. Mainly composed of Kevlar and titanium, this provides protection against, knives, bullets, explosions, and other things. It is even flame retardant and insulated, perfect for a few of Batman's foes. For added effectiveness, there is a liquid armor weave between the outermost and innermost layers of the suit, which helps him put more force into his counter attacks. For steal it suppresses his heartbeat and his heat signature. As a bonus, it comes with a special electric lining to prevent it being taken off his body."

Boomstick said, "Because when you're rich, why not turn yourself into a human taser?"

Luffy scoffed and said, "That wouldn't work on me. I'm made of rubber?"

Brook said, "I can withstand lightning, so I might be able to remove it from him."

Chopper said, "Actually, I think a normal human would be able to withstand that. It would take a lot more than that to leave permanent damage. Like Boomstick said, if it is a taser, then it will only stun them."

The hologram pushed back the suit and brought up the gloves and boots.

Boomstick said, "The boots and gloves are reinforced so Bats doesn't hurt himself punching or kicking bad guy ass. It's hard to fight if you have a boxer's fracture. The gloves also have a specials shock mode strong enough to punch through Kevlar, and there are retractable blades in his gauntlets."

Franky flexed his hands and said, "I don't have to worry about those. Though some blades on my arms would be pretty cool."

The hologram then focused on Batman's cowl.

Wiz said, "Batman's cowl is lined with lead to prevent certain people with x-ray vision from seeing his face, and para-aramid fibers to lessen impacts to the head, including headbutts. However, his better modifications include detective mode, which allows him to examine his surroundings, including finding foes, detecting breakable objects and weapons. This allows him to plan accordingly when the room is filled with villains. The pointy years also hold transmitters and receivers to communicate with others."

Robin said, "It seems Batman has an analytical approach to fighting opponents."

Isom said, "Batman is no idiot. He typically comes up with weapons, gadgets, and other tools to close the gap with people who are above him in terms of physical strength."

Boomstick said, "Finally, his cape is lightweight, and can be used to not only stun his enemies, but glide through the air with ease. Man imagine a humanoid bat flying at you out of nowhere. That's got to scary."

Chopper and Usopp both shuddered at the idea of that happening.

Brook shuddered as he remembered when he was on Thriller Bark and that vampire zombie kept attacking him, or when he got lost in a cave on the island and was a victim of a bunch of zombie bats.

Wiz said, "Aside from his suit, Batman would be nowhere if it wasn't' for his vast assortment to weapons and tools, all held with his most iconic piece of clothing…his utility belt."

Franky and Usopp took special interest in this part.

Utility Belt

-Grapple Gun

-Batarangs

-Smoke Pellets

-Tear-gas Grenades

-Thermite Bombs

-Flash-Bang Grenades

-EMP Grenades

-Explosive Gel

-Stung Gun

-Rebreather

-Lock pick

-Bat-Cuffs

-Batclaws

-Bat Rope

-Bat-Saw

-Bat Summoning Transponder

-Tracers

-Forensics and First Aid Kits

-Disruptor

-Cryptographic Sequencer

-Kryptonite Ring

-Remote Control Bat Vehicles

The hologram zoomed in on Batman's belt.

Wiz said, "The utility belt is Batman's go-to tool for storing his various weapons and tools. He carries all kinds of tools for fighting villains and detective work, including his trademark grapple gun and bat claw which he can use in conjunction with his cape to glide far distances. He also has a cryptographic sequencer for hacking computers and electric locks, forensic and first aid kits, handcuffs, and other objects."

"How does he keep all that in one belt?" Frank asked.

Isom answered, "How do you keep so many weapons in your body?"

Franky was quiet before he responded, "Touche."

Brook asked, "What is this Kryptonite? It is not a rock I've ever heard of."

Isom answered, "Trade secret."

Boomstick said, "He also carries the batarangs, objects which he uses with incredible accuracy, even able to throw them rapid fire among a group of thugs. They even come in multiple flavors like explosive, sonar, and many more. He's also packing several bombs and grenades, unfortunately, they are the sissy king like tear gas, smoke, EMPs, and small explosives."

Wiz said, "He also carries tracers, a transponder that can summon a cloud of bats, a disruptor to jam guns and mines, a stun gun, a rebreather and gas mask, a lock pick, and explosive gel for nonlethal takedowns and to blow out walls. He even has a remote-control system to control the various vehicles he commands at long distances."

Franky said, "Oh man imagine if I could remotely control the Sunny!"

Brook said, "The thought of that makes my bones rattle with excitement, even though that is easy to do."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, you may have noticed that the bat does have a serious issue using guns and killing people. He may have some guns on the batmobile, but those are all nonlethal rounds. Though it should be noted he did carry a gun early on for intimidation but got rid of it."

Wiz said, "Despite being nonlethal Batman is known to put people in the hospital with broken bones and internal damage. In other words, while he won't kill you, he will make you hurt. A LOT."

Brook blinked and said, "He's okay with causing extreme brain damage, but not killing people."

Isom said, "You get it."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, that's probably why everyone is afraid of him. They have no idea if the Bat is ever gonna snap and rip someone's head off…which he can do. He's so good at causing fear, that he got the attention of the Sinestro Corp. a group that is literally powered by how much people fear them. Too bad it rejected him out of sheer will."

Wiz said, "Batman is the peak of human achievement. He's only human, but he has not real exploitable weakness, and his feats are among gods."

Feats

Lifted over a thousand pounds

Dodge Omega Beams

Broke into Area 51 and 52

Defeated Justice League

Defeated Superman, Aquaman, & King Snake

Shot Darkseid

Survived being broken in half

Survived being a human time bomb

Swapped poisoned drink in the literal blink of an eye

Solves numerous unsolvable cases

Wiz said, "He's regularly taken and beaten warriors far superior to him, such as Superman, and even the entire justice league, which contains some of the most powerful people on Earth and beyond. He's been broken in half, solved multiple cases that were deemed unsolvable, and even survived as a human time bomb of destruction."

Boomstick blinked and said, "Did you make that last on up?"

Wiz simply stated, "Nope."

"Yes, that actually did happen," Isom said, seeing the looks on everyone's faces, and explained, "During a battle with Darkseid, one of the greatest villains of the DC universe, Batman was blasted and sent back in time. As Batman moved through the ages, he built up energy which would be used to unleash destruction on a massive scale."

Chopper asked, "And the being broken in half thing?"

Isom answered, "That was thanks to Batman's enemy, Bane. Bane figured out Batman's identity and set loose all of Batman's rogue's gallery. Returning home exhausted, Bane ambushed him and then broke him in half over his knee. He survived and managed to get himself back together after a few weeks."

Zoro and Sanji were now more than impressed.

The gun lover looked at his cohost who said, "Anyway, Batman is awesome, but he's only human. That suit can only protect him so much against guns and knives, and he can still fall victim to exhaustion when he pushes himself to far. Plus, his sanity has been called into question on multiple occasions."

Boomstick stroke his stubble and said, "A man who watched his parents die dresses up like a bat, kicks the crap out of villains using his parents' money, and keeps employing sidekicks who he puts in tight spandex…yeah, he's not all there."

Nami was quiet before she asked, "Should…should we be concerned about that last part."

Wiz said, "But no matter the challenge, no matter the opponent, Batman will be there with whatever gadget he's made up for the exact scenario. Why?"

Both Wiz and Boomstick declared, "Because he's the goddamn Batman!"

Batman is examining a room when a blond thug with a black eye opens the door. The two looked at each other for a moment before the thug closed the door and walked away. Another walked up to him.

"You see anything in there?"

The first answered, "Nope."

Sanji took a drag on his cigarette and said, "That has got to be the smartest henchman we have ever seen."

Isom said, "Smarter than most thugs too."

The door closed and reopened.

Wiz said, "Right from the beginning, Peter Parker has had hard time."

Peter Benjamin Parker

Height: 5'10''

Weight: 167 lbs.

IQ: 250

Friendly neighborhood hero

Most relatable hero

Boomstick said, "Much like many heroes Peter started off as an orphan. His parents being spies for the CIA until they were killed by the Finisher on the orders of the Red Skull."

Wiz said, "Thankfully, as opposed to an orphanage, Peter was dropped off with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben. However, that didn't mean it was all sunshine and roses. Peter's intelligence made him an outcast amongst those his age. Something I know the feeling off all too well."

Robin and Chopper felt a bit of kinship with this new hero. Both were outcast in their respective homes and found solace in those who they would be able to call family much. Sanji felt some of it too, as he remembered being outcast from his own family, and a part of him was glad that Peter was able to find a family.

"Who are those two he mentioned?" Franky asked.

Isom answered, "The Finisher is one of those guys who likes to manipulate things from behind the scenes. Typically, through assassinating people or taking down those who may get in his way. As for the Red Skull…"

Isom paused the video and brought up an image of the Red Skull, drawing shocked looks from everyone.

Isom explained, "He's the leader of a group called Hydra, essentially a group of super Nazis, and fueled by rage towards the unfairness of his life, and if he could not control the world, he would destroy it."

Everyone shuddered at the idea.

Isom then thought, 'I wonder what would happen if I told them he was inspired by a hot fudge sundae. Chopper would probably not eat ice cream again.'

Boomstick said, "Aw, did you get back at them?"

Wiz said, "You ever see Kick Ass 2?"

Boomstick blinked and said, "You did that to them?"

Wiz said, "Yes…except it made them blast from both ends."

Sensing the question, Isom brought up the Kick Ass 2 revenge scene. A few laughed, a few were disgusted, and some grew even more disgusted when they realized that Wiz's version had them going from both the front and back.

Boomstick looked shocked before taking a step away from his cohost.

Boomstick sounding somewhat disturbed, "Anyway, he lived his life as a nerd with no friends…until one day. During a trip to a public display of radioactive power, where a spider got caught in the beam, and then bit him. After some swelling, fever, and other things, he realized he had gained powers due to the spider bite."

Wiz said, "It turns out the spider had been exposed to radiation multiple times and was only given a fatal dose at the demonstration on that field trip, dying shortly after. This irradiated venom caused multiple transformations across his body."

Sanji said, "That sounds like the weirdest way to get superpowers I've ever heard of."

Isom said, "This coming from the man who lives in a world where people only have to eat a fruit to get a superpower?"

Sanji blinked and said, "True."

Boomstick said, "Wait…shouldn't it have just killed him instead of transforming him?"

Wiz said, "Actually, the irradiated venom wound up connecting Peter to the web of life. A multiverse spanning power that connects all spider powered heroes and villains."

"Wait…what?"

Isom simply stated, "It's comics don't question it."

Boomstick simply stared for a moment and said, "Yeah…either way, the whole power turned him into a mutate, a human exposed to mutagenic stuff. Not to be confused with mutants like previous Death Battle winner Rogue. Now he was a super powered nerd…with no friends."

Wiz said, "And did he get a lot of them."

Boomstick said, "He possesses enough strength to knock out a normal human with a tap of his fingers, swing three-ton wrecking balls, and knock out dinosaurs with a single punch. Suck it Denver!"

Wiz said, "His muscles are highly durable against impact forces. Just by clenching his muscles, he can absorb the blow of a heavyweight boxer and break his wrist in the process."

Boomstick said, "Aside from normal punches, he can take a grenade to the face and only get a little punch drunk! Hell, he had a missile explode in his face point blank and all it did was knock him out!"

Franky whistled and said, "Dang. This guy can take a beating almost like Luffy."

Isom said, "He still feels pain, and he's not immune to blunt force like Luffy is."

Wiz said, "He can fight for several hours without tiring, can move faster than the eye can track, can heal faster and is incredibly limber."

Boomstick said, "How is that a power? He can stretch…big whoop."

Wiz said, "Actually, due to the mutation across his body, Spiderman's tendons and connective tissue are twice as elastic as a normal human. This combined with a nearly unparalleled sense of balance, combined make him nearly untouchable."

"Wow…he would have made a killing in the circus," Zoro said jokingly.

Boomstick said, "Huh…and we haven't to the spider powers yet. The first of which is his well-known wall crawling ability, which he does through little hairs on his fingers."

Wiz said, "No! That is a media induced mistake. It is because of the mutation through his body that he can control the electron attraction to objects, especially in his hands and feet, which allows him to stick to almost any surface."

Boomstick blinked and said, "So his body acts like a magnet to other stuff?"

Wiz rolled his eyes and said, "In simpler terms…yes."

"Wow," Robin said, "I thought this would be a bit more disturbing or disgusting, but this is actually pretty impressive."

Usopp added, "With a power like that, he must be great at tug of war."

Boomstick said, "Cool. He can increase the strength of those sticky powers with the Mark of Kaine, developed by his clone brother Kaine, who can use his own sticky fingers to leave a nasty electric burn. However, Spidey's hands just become so sticky that they can rip off a person's skin."

"Clones?" Sanji asked, sounding a little nervous.

Isom answered, "Long and convoluted plotline that just got really stupid. Long story short, one of the clones became like a brother to him."

Sanji clenched his fist slightly, something only Isom noticed, remembering the whole cloning thing from his past.

Wiz said, "However, Spiderman can only use this power when he is extremely angry. Like when the Kravinoff family killed his brother, and he got so mad that when he found the woman responsible for it, he tore off a portion of her face with it. Spidey's Mark of Kaine is so strong that it can even tear off chunks of Iron Man's armor."

Franky whistled and asked, "How strong is that armor?"

Isom answered, "If you threw everything you had at it right now Franky…you probably wouldn't even scratch the paint."

Boomstick said, "Damn! Don't underestimate this guy. The biggest of his powers, however, is the spider sense. This acts like an early warning system, like when my ex-wife is calling me for alimony."

Sanji sighed and said, "Again with the ex-wife. If he put her down this much, no wonder his marriage failed."

Nami simply stated, "I have a feeling there are a lot of reasons his marriage failed."

Wiz said, "Actually, the spider sense isn't just an early warning system. It is a response brought on by his connection to the web of life, and is connected to his superhuman kinesthetic abilities, which is about forty times that of a normal human. All of this makes him practically untouchable in combat."

Robin said, "This ability sounds a lot like observation haki."

Brook added, "Yes, but enhanced and requiring no training."

Boomstick said, "Man…now I want to get bitten by a radioactive spider."

Wiz said, "You'd die…probably. I mean this is comic book world not real life."

Boomstick opened another beer and said, "True."

Wiz said, "Anyway, the spider sense also helps Spiderman if he is blinded as seen when he was blinded by the new Vulture's acid breath. He can even use it to connect with certain radio frequencies, which he used in his spider tracers, but more on that gadget later."

Boomstick said, "Damn. With all these powers, Peter knew what he needed to do first…get paid!"

Nami said, "That's probably what I would do if I got superpowers. Find a way to make money off them."

Brook said, "You know if there was a devil fruit revolving around music, they would make an incredible entertainer if they used it right."

Wiz said, "First, Peter attempted to earn money with his powers. However, after a wrestling match where he beat the champion, the fight promoter ripped him off. As Peter left, clearly angry, the promotor was robbed, and Spidey let him get away as a form of payback."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, petty revenge is always fun. Unfortunately, a few days later, his Uncle Ben was attack and shot. Seeking revenge, Spiderman went after the culprit…but…"

They show the clip of Spiderman where he pins the carjacker against the wall and the room lights up, revealing it to be the same man he let get away.

The crew immediately froze when they saw this image.

"Oh my god," Usopp said, "That's the guy he let get away.

Zoro felt his heart go out to boy behind his tough guy exterior. He knew the crushing guilt of being the one responsible for their death. He knew it all too well."

Boomstick said, "Well, he's scarred for life. Realizing that it was his fault that Uncle Ben had died, Peter took up the mantle of Spiderman, and would become the hero New York needed."

Wiz said, "Though not without a few problems as he had a lot of things going against him, mainly J. Jonah Jameson, who would slander him at every turn, cops who didn't like a vigilante doing their jobs, and practically everyone he ever pissed off."

Boomstick said, "Thankfully, Spidey's got the various tools made to take down villains pretty quickly."

Wiz said, "There have been many Spider suits over the years, many of which Spiderman has made himself, including an electric proof one, bulletproof suits, and even a suit made to specifically take down his arch enemies the Sinister 6. However, the most advanced suit he has to date is the Spider-Armor Mk IV. Oh, and to diehard fans, we know the suit was destroyed, but this is our show, so shut up."

Boomstick yeah, "He's got this thing upgraded like nuts. However, the one thing all the suits had in common is the use of his trademark web shooters. He tried to make the web fluid so he could sell it, but it only lasted about an hour. Though a later model was made that lasted longer when Spider went all Freaky Friday with his arch nemesis Doctor Octopus."

Isom quickly answered, "Basically the two switched minds, and it all got a little crazy from there, and I think the writers got a kick out of writing the others in the show stupider than they normally are, and some of them were the smartest people in the world!"

Robin asked, "Why would they do that."

The traveler simply answered, "Plot device."

Wiz said, "His webbing is actually incredibly durable, with a tensile strength that is comparable to steel and after it's upgrade even greater, capable of holding back beings of incredible strength."

Boomstick said, "Despite that it is pretty versatile, enabling him to create bulletproof shields, barriers, nets, parachutes, and a few other things he might need when it comes time to kick a shit ton of ass, swing away or save people."

Wiz said, "These webs are so strong they can withstand the flames of the Human Torch and respulsor blasts from Iron Man. There are multiple cartridges of web fluid and each cartridge can hold a lot of fluid."

Boomstick declared, "And so can his girlfriends! Now that I think about it, it's probably a good thing he didn't have them coming out of his ass like a real spider."

Wiz stammered, "Actually, it doesn't come out of…"

Boomstick cut the genius off singing, "Spiderman. Spiderman. Craps a web like a spider can."

Shows an image of Spiderman swinging by and as Boomstick sang, webbing sprayed out of Spiderman's ass.

The entire crew laughed at the joke, even Isom. Years later that was still funny.

Wiz just facepalmed with a groan of annoyance.

Boomstick chuckled and continued, "Though, excessive use can cause him to run out of fluid if he's not careful. Good thing for that super brain because he's got multiple types of webbing, including acid, electric shocks, hard hitting impact webbing, and concrete. And for more fire power, he can suspend his enemies in this weird floating matrix thing, blast them on their asses with a concussive blast, cover them all in webbing with the web bomb, or set up traps with the tripwire."

Wiz said, "Aside from his web shooters, the spider armor has many different features. In terms of the defense, the suit increases Spiderman's durability, has a stealth mode, contains various poison antidotes, and an emergency beacon."

Boomstick said, "But on the more offensive side, the suit increases his already awesome strength. He's also got a brain override that shocks him to stave off mind control, spider drones for reconnaissance and stun blasts, tracking devices that also act as small explosives, sonic disruptors for fun, and bug zappers to put some nice charge into those punches."

Wiz said, "It also comes with a special webware to connect the internet, a heads-up display, and a special UV Light for forensic work."

"So he's strong and smart," Chopper said, "It looks like he and Batman might be matched in those aspects."

Boomstick said, "You'd think that he would be untrained, but you'd be wrong. You see some time in his long career as a hero lost that spider sense. It made things difficult for him. It took him all his concentration just to swing through the city."

Wiz said, "To compensate for its loss, Spiderman sought out Shang-Chi, a master of kung fu. He combined Shang-Chi's teaching, the teaching from Steven Rogers, aka Captain America, and his own bullying experiences to create his own unique fighting style, the way of the spider."

Boomstick said, "This strangely named fighting style utilizes Spiderman's fighting abilities to their fullest as well as his powers, aiming for weak points in the body, such as pressure points and nerve clusters, and perfectly complements his powers."

Chopper rubbed his chin in thought. Maybe he could try that himself. However, he probably wouldn't be able to do so with his bulky strength point or arm point. Maybe his jumping point, since it seems the most human out of his forms.

Wiz said, "With all this, he's done some pretty impressive things for a kid from Queens."

Feats

Defeated the Hulk

Destroyed Iron Man's armor

Lifted a locomotive

Survived blows from an Adamantium-enhanced Hammerhead, Colossus Juggernaut, and Magik

Kept Pace with Captain Marvel

First figured out how to stop an alien virus

Has had more girlfriends than any marvel hero

Boomstick said, "Yeah, he's beaten beings as strong as the Hulk, survived blows from Hammerhead, who had been enhanced with the super metal admanatium, and survived a double-sided beating from both a Juggernaut-Colossus and his sister Magik! Damn! What does it take to kill this guy?"

The crew whistled. This guy sounded like he could take a licking and keep on ticking.

Wiz said, "He's able to keep pace with Captain Marvel who can flay at incredibly fast speeds. And when an alien virus threatened the world, Spiderman was one of the people summoned to try and stop it and wound up being one of the first to figure out a temporary fix."

Boomstick declared, "But more importantly, after a lot of superhero work, he managed to get himself laid…like a lot!"

Boomstick hit a button showing an image of all of Spiderman's past girlfriends.

"WHAT!?" Sanji yelled out as he saw the various lovely ladies, and cried, "It's not fair! How is it these guys get so many ladies!?"

Isom said, "Unfortunately, a lot of his relationships don't seem to last long, mostly due to Spiderman."

Wiz said, "Through all this, Spiderman does have his fair share of weaknesses. As you can guess, his Spider sense can be overwhelmed with special equipment, his body does have limits, despite his incredible feats of durability and strength, and he does have a weakness to certain pesticides."

Boomstick blinked and said, "Wait…are you saying that if Spiderman attacked me, all I'd have to do is spray him in the face with bug-spray?"

Wiz shrugged his shoulders and answered, "Essentially."

The gun lover blinked and said, "Huh…I know what I'm buying in bulk come my next paycheck."

"Lamest…weakness…ever," Luffy said simply, earning nods.

Wiz continued, "But his greatest weakness is the Parker Luck."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, just when stuff is going good for him, something ad happens. Like when he got a giant company with his name on it, only to destroy when evil super Nazis tried to take it over to take over the world."

Everyone blinked at the obvious display of bad luck.

Franky summed it all up with a simple, "Damn."

Wiz said, "No matter what happens though, Spiderman always just rolls with the punches, cracking jokes, annoying his enemies and allies alike."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, but if he stops cracking wise, you better watch out. When he's not cracking jokes, you know he's about to get a lot less friendly."

Wiz said, "In other words, never underestimate New York's wall crawling, web swinging vigilante."

"This is my gift. This is my curse. Who am I? I'm Spiderman!"

The doors closed and reopened.

Wiz said, "The combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all."

Boomstick yelled, "It's time for a death battle!"

Everyone was now talking about who would win. Sanji and Zoro all thought that Batman would win, given his superior training and experience.

Chopper, Usopp, and Luffy thought Spiderman would win due to his powers.

Robin, Nami, Franky, and Brook were undecided.

The doors close and reopened.

Spiderman swung into the scene, landing on the side of a building.

"Now, where is that thing?" Spidey asked, using his HUD to scan the rooftops, until he spotted it, "There it is."

He jumped down onto the rooftop with a bit of flourish. The device was large and looked like a jack o lantern. The smiling face blinking green. The arachnid themed hero examined the device.

"What are you up to Norman?" he thought aloud.

"Who's Norman?" Usopp asked.

Isom answered, "He's referring to the Green Goblin, aka Norman Osborn, who is one of his greatest enemies. His main weapons are pumpkin-shaped grenades."

"Who are you?"

Spiderman spun around and saw Batman now approaching.

"Whoa, easy there Mr. Grumpy," Spiderman raising his arms in a non-threatening gesture, "I picked up a weird reading and I came to check it out."

Batman quirked an eyebrow as he examined the man in the bright red and blue costume. He then glanced at the device. The man approached it, and took out his cryptographic sequencer, and began to use it.

"So…you run into these things often?" Spiderman asked which just earned silence, causing him to mutter, "Oh great, an even grumpier Wolverine."

However, as they talked, nobody noticed a series of cameras floating in the air. suddenly, the device blinked, and Spiderman's spider sense went off. However, before he could move the device exploded, sending a massive cloud of red dusts that enveloped the roof top.

Meanwhile…

In a room, a lot of people, all of them rich, and several criminals were all cheering as they saw the red dust eclipse the rooftop. Two villains were laughing. One resembling a demonic scarecrow and the other looking like a green skinned goblin.

"I take it the green-skinned guy is the goblin," Sanji said, examining the two.

Isom nodded, "And the guy next to him is Jonathan Crane, aka the Scarecrow. His need to discover the effects of and how people approach fear lead him to a life of crime, using his fear gas, a special toxin that would cause someone to experience their worst fear to the point that they would die from the physical reaction."

Chopper gulped at the scary sounding men, even more so with the thought of fear gas. Everyone imagined what they would see.

Robin imagined Aokiji standing over the frozen corpses of her crew. Luffy saw his family dead around him. Zoro saw a zombified Kuina and Mihawk. Nami imagined Arlong with her sister's head in his hands. Chopper saw Wapol ruling Drum Island and those around him head. Franky imagined Spandam with Pluton destroying Water 7. Brook saw himself alone and reduced to dust among the remains of his long-dead crew.

"I told you those enhancements to your fear gas would work," Green Goblin said.

Scarecrow said, "it will be interesting to see who will come out on top in their fear-charged battle."

Meanwhile, a short fat man in a suit and top hat with an umbrella, and a woman wearing a red Chinese dress.

"Two more baddies, I take it," Zoro said, examining the two, while Sanji and Brook both had hearts in their eyes, or eyeholes in Brook's case, at the sight of the woman.

Isom answered, "Yes. That is Oswald Cobblepot aka The Penguin. He acts like a legitimate businessman. However, behind closed doors, he has his fingers in all the crime that goes on in his town. From robberies to gun smuggling, you know that if it happens, he knows about it. As for the woman, her name is Roulette, and she's in charge of the meta brawl, an underground fight club for people with powers and superhuman abilities."

"Here it is ladies and gentlemen," Roulette declared in an exciting voice, "The Bat of Gotham vs The Spider of New York. Who will come out on top?"

Penguin walked up and said, "Place your bets. Place your bets."

Back on the rooftop…

Batman coughed the air from his lungs. He turned towards the new guy he saw but was shocked to find a monster in his place, with red and blue skin, and a bit mouth filled with teeth and a long tongue hanging out of his mouth. Worse, was the image of his son Damian, dead with his head crushed in his grip.

Spiderman groaned coughed up smoke, the mask he wore not stopping him from getting a lung full of that gas. He turned towards the other and saw a black armored version of the green goblin. At his feet were the dead bodies of Aunt May and Mary Jane.

"Is anyone else having TMNT Battle Royale flashbacks?" Chopper asked, concerned.

Everyone nodded, except for Luffy, who had walked out.

Rage overcame both men, enhanced by the gas. The two charged at one another, readying rip each other to shreds.

Fight!

The two men clashed, grappling with one another. However, Spiderman quickly proved to be the stronger of the two, pushing the Batman away, however, the dark knight responded by throwing him lifting the smaller of the two in the air and throwing him away. Spiderman landed gracefully and ducked as Batman charged at him with a punch aimed to slam into his temple. Spiderman ducked down low to avoid it and shot out a kick that slammed into the Bat's solar plexus. Spiderman then leapt slightly and swung his leg out, slamming into Batman's head, knocking him away slightly.

"Looks like they're evenly matched," Zoro said, slightly surprised.

Robin said, "Don't forget, he has taken down people more well trained then him."

"I'm going to make you pay bastard!" Spiderman yelled.

Back in the gambling hall, people were cheering and shouting.

"Take him down, Spidey!" Black Cat yelled

Catwoman said, "Oh, please. That punk has no chance."

Sanji got another nosebleed and was about to ask who they were, but Isom beat him to it.

"Black Cat and Catwoman, love interestst for Spiderman and Batman respectively."

Sanji suddenly imagined both Nami and Robin in sexy cat suits and then passed out with a large nosebleed.

Back in the fight, Batman launched a series of smoke pellet temporarily blinding the Spider. Batman then shot off into the night, hiding on a different roof top. Spiderman, using his spider sense, shot out a web line through the smoke, seeing nothing in the way.

Spiderman looks around and finds that he is not around.

"Really?" Spiderman asked, "Didn't know you could change your colors to yellow."

Spiderman continued to look around. However, as he was talking, he shot a tripwire onto the ground in case he came up from behind him. Off to the side, Batman hid in the shadows, examining his opponent. With his cowl, he examined Spiderman's armor and found out what it did.

Batman thought, 'Enhances strength and durability, and a few other functions that I can't tell what else is for. Those weapons in his wrists have to go."

"So he knows what it can do," Franky said, "I don't want to know what could happen if he did that to me."

Batman pulled out his disruptor and aimed it. When Peter turned, the dark knight fired, triggering the Spider sense. The wall crawler dodged to the side, avoiding the shot much to the shock of Batman. Spiderman ran the numbers in his head to guess the angle and charged in where he thought his adversary was.

"Whoa," Franky said, "Do you think that disruptor would work on my guns."

Isom rubbed his chin and answered, "I don't think so. You use a much older version of firearms Franky, so there is no guarantee, however, Batman would no doubt find a way to do so."

Batman pulled out his grapple gun and fired to make a quick getaway, however, he wasn't going to get away this time. Spiderman quickly fired an acid web which struck the chord and melted through it. Batman's eyes widened in surprise before he activated his cape gliding.

Spiderman then clashed with Batman crashing through a window, freaking out a few of the late-night workers.

Batman regained his balance and charged at Spiderman, who dodged another punch. However, Batman learned from his last attack and unleashed a barrage of close-range punches at a fast pace, aiming for the weak points on the body. The armor protected him, but Spiderman block and countered with a punch of his own, aiming for a nerve cluster, hitting the armor with enough strength to making the bat stumble, but not hit his mark.

Spiderman back flipped to get some distance with Batman launching batarangs at him. Spiderman dodged with incredible flexibility between projectiles.

He skidded to a stop and said, "You must have gotten a master's in stupid if you thought that would work."

However, hidden by his cape, was the dispenser for the explosive gel. Batman pressed the trigger for it. Spiderman's spider sense went off a moment later before a sudden controlled explosion knocked him off his feet. Batman then charged in, everything around him in slow motion, pulling out the disruptor again and firing it at Spiderman's left web shooter shorting it out.

"There goes down one web shooter," Chopper said, "but it looks like the blast from the explosive gel didn't do anything."

Sanji said, "That Spider sure is hard to squish."

Spiderman leapt back as Batman swung a fist down, cracking the floor as it missed, Spiderman launching a suspension matrix, and then a tripwire. The first gadget lifting the dark knight into the air, and the tripwire catching him and slamming him down the ground hard. Spiderman then launched himself back at Batman, grabbing him by the cape and then throwing him back towards the inside of the office smashing open a desk.

Spiderman charged in firing a barrage of electric webs to stun him and then grabbing him, unleashing the bug zappers. Unfortunately, the insulation in the batsuit canceled it out. Batman then headbutted Spiderman, stunning him, and then throwing a shot to the throat. Batman unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks that launched Spiderman backwards, rolling across the floor.

Luffy said, "Wow, these two are really going at each other."

Brook nodded saying, "Indeed this does seem like a close bout."

Batman launched a series of explosive batarangs. However, Spiderman, guided by his spider sense, shot out a series of webs forming a shield catching them, and then launched the shield at Batman, Captain America Style.

Batman crouched, using his cape as a shield. The blast knocked Batman away and left his armor damaged. Batman's analytical mind realized what Spiderman's secret was. Reaching into his belt, he dropped a device. Batman then launched himself at the Spiderman and the two grappled again. However, Batman was ready, as he blocked a kick and then threw a punch that didn't have an effect, Spiderman clenching his abs, and Batman gritting his teeth at a potentially broken wrist. However, it had its reasons as a device was placed on Spiderman's chest. The dark knight backed off and pressed a button on his utility belt. Suddenly there was a loud cacophony of screeching, and a massive swarm of bats flew through the window, filling the room. Batman leapt back, blending in with the black swarm. However, Spiderman's spider sense was currently overloaded by the massive swarm of bats. Batman took advantage of the distraction and threw out a bola which wrapped around Spiderman tightly.

"I get it," Robin said, "He's figured out Spiderman's spidersense and is attempt to overload it with stimuli. In this case, the bat swarm."

Zoro said, "The question is will it be enough."

Batman charged in and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks at a fast pace, mixing in the blades on his gauntlets. As Spiderman was beaten back, he wasn't completely helpless. He focused his spider sense on the person attacking him, the sense guiding him to lessen the damage.

He ducked under particularly nasty kick that would have launched him out of the window and fell back using his wall crawling powers to make Batman's chest stick to his feet, Spiderman then launched Batman into the ceiling, cracking it. The arachnid-themed hero then broke through the bola with a grunt, tore off the transponder and threw it out the window, a good portion of the bat swarm flew out, clearing the room.

As Batman fell, Spiderman leapt up and grabbed Batman's suit and used the mark of Kaine to tear the outermost layer off. Then he rolled away, having dropped another trip mine, which activated and yanked the dark knight down to the floor with a resonating sound. Batman ignored and pain and shot up, spinning around to fight, only for Spiderman to immediately be on him.

"Oh, this is going to hurt," Sanji said, realizing the battle was now most likely over.

Using all the strength and speed he dared, Spiderman unleashed a barrage of punches and strikes, aiming at the more exposed nerve clusters and pressure points in Batman's chest, stomach, and then finally hit him into the air with a punch to the jaw, which knocked him out the window.

Batman attempted to get away by gliding with his cape, only for an acid web to eat through his cape. Spiderman leapt through the window and launched a web bomb, wrapping the dark knight in a cocoon of webbing, before launching a web line at his head, and grabbed him diving downward, with the other end attached to the building.

The two fell fast as Batman tried to use the blades on his gauntlets to cut the webbing, but it was too tough. Suddenly the web line was pulled taut, and a loud crack was heard as Batman's neck was broken and then his head torn off in a shower of gore.

"Oh my, that was quite brutal," Brook said.

"Gross," Nami said, slightly green at the sight of the decapitated man.

KO!

Spiderman flew downward and landed on a car, breaking the windshield and windows. However, at this point, the altered fear gas wore off, and Spiderman stared up at the dead form of Batman.

"Oh my god," he said in disbelief as he saw the results of their fight, and suddenly his spider sense went off like crazy. He slowly turned and saw the members of the bat family staring in horror at Batman's corpse, before turning and glaring at Spiderman.

"Uh oh."

"That doesn't seem like it is going to go well for him," Chopper said, realizing that Spiderman's apparent Parker Luck was going to come at him full force.

Usopp nodded and said, "Poor guy, he won the fight, but it looks like he's going to wind up in a whole new mess of trouble."

The doors reopened to reveal Boomstick looking shocked. On the screen in the back, shows various villains celebrating while others are disappointed, the bat family doing research on Spiderman, and the justice league holding a service for their member.

"I did not see that coming," Boomstick said.

"In terms of gadgetry and weapons," Wiz said, "Spiderman and Batman were both pretty evenly matched. Spiderman's webs could counter Batman various projectiles, and Batman's insulated suit could counter the bug zappers and electric webs. However, Batman didn't have much to counter the concussive blasts, tripwires, and even Spiderman's various webbings. And if he can survive a missile exploding in his face, you know the arachnid could tank an exploding batarang or a blob of explosive gel."

Franky said, "It seems that Spidey and the bat were pretty much even in terms of gadgets and armor."

Boomstick said, "Yeah. But you know that isn't the only thing in a fight. In terms of experience and training, Batman had the advantage by far, and no doubt could deal with Spiderman's superior strength and speed. However, the Spider-sense is something else entirely."

Wiz said, "The spider-sense completely destroys surprise and stealth, which are two of Batman's greatest weapons. Plus, if Spiderman's Mark of Kaine could rip through Iron Man's armor, then it could easily rip through the batsuit. Meaning it was only a matter of time before Spiderman could land a finishing blow."

Robin said, "This battle does seem like it was pretty clear cut."

Nami said, "Yeah."

Boomstick said, "Wait a minute. Batman managed to take down the justice league and being who could take down the spider easily. Shouldn't he have won due to that logic?"

Wiz answered, "Not really. You see many of Batman's greatest victories have require a lot of time to prepare. The reason he managed to take down the league was because he came up with special weapons and methods to take them down using their various weaknesses, which did not work with the gladiator style fight we had here."

Boomstick said, "Yeah, Batman's had some experience with analyzing an opponent during a fight, or winning through retreating, and it did not work with Spidey's upfront and adaptive fighting style."

Brook said, "Oh, so it wasn't just weapons and skills but a difference in tactics and methods that brought victory. How interesting."

Wiz said, "In the end, Batman just lost his head."

Boomsitck looked at his cohost and said, "Seriously? That is all you could think of?"

The scientist groaned and said, "The winner is Spiderman."

The crew clapped for the victory.

Next time on death battle…

There was the sound of something walking down a hall. The sound of claws clicking against cement. Then a pair of cat-like eyes appears as a lightning bolt briefly flashes, revealing a tanned face with long blue hair.

"Meow."

Upon hearing the feminine voice, Sanji changed, "playitplayitplayitplayitplayit…"

He continued until the video started to play.

Cut! Okay, expect Spiderman vs Batman to be mentioned a lot in future Marvel vs DC battles. Given that this is one of the few where Marvel actually wins the bout, I decided to have it act as a proverbial lynch pin. Basically, a lot of heroes from DC are going to be gunning for Spiderman after he murdered Batman, and Spidey is going to be bailed out by his friends. Also does anyone else want to see Spiderman in another match up with someone.

Flames are ignored, criticism is welcome.
