Shang Tsung: The Sorcerous of Doom.
(Shang Tsung is seen battling an opponent stabbing him with his sword before destroying his skull with a powerful kick)
Vs.
Darth Bane: The Legacy of the Sith.
(Darth Bane is seen walking through the scourged remains of a small village with his lightsaber at his side)
"Every video game or comic book has its good guys. However every hero needs a villain. Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat and Darth Bane from Star Wars." MKFreak said.
"The stats we found on these two were surprising. Both were physically and psychologically strong. Bane was larger and stronger whereas Shang Tsung was faster and more agile." Marley said.
Shang Tsung:
Origin: Mortal Kombat
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 210 lbs.
Armor: None
Darth Bane:
Origin: Star Wars
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 240 lbs.
Armor: Orbalisk Armor
Both of these villains come armed with an impressive arsenal of weapons designed to kill Shang Tsung's best weapon is designed for surprise attacks
The Straight Sword:
Length: 3'
Weight: 2 Pounds
Stats: Designed for swift thrusts (Perfect for Surprise attacks)
"Shang Tsung is one tricky sorcerous this straight sword is as it name suggests straight and incredibly sharp. He saves it surprise attacks and he's remarkably skilled with this weapon." MKFreak said.
"He can use it many different attacks from the simple yet deadly thrust which sends that sharp blade through anything in front of it. Also he can teleport around the battlefield and use it in a very deceptive slash." Marley explained.
(Shang Tsung stabs an opponent with his sword before teleporting behind him and decapitating his foe)
Following this gruesome display Darth Bane retaliates with his own deadly blade
The Lightsaber:
Length: 3.5'
Weight: 9 Ounces
Stats: Cuts through everything in its path (Crimson Blade)
"Bane is a formidable foe he's skilled with his fighting styles using his orbalisk armor and lightsaber skills to control the battlefield. Its simple everybody knows that lightsabers can cut through everything except other lightsabers." Marley explained.
"The lightsaber used by Bane isn't like your standard Sith lightsaber it has a crimson crystal which adds further power to the user. Combined with his armor Bane is almost unstoppable." MKFreak said.
(Bane battles a Jedi knight stunning him with his force lightning and stabbing him through the face with his lightsaber)
Our experts factored in the strengths and skills of both warriors and found an unanimous edge.
"Shang Tsung's sword is designed for sneak attacks other than that its just your standard sword. Bane's lightsaber on the other hand cuts through anything and everything, edge: Darth Bane." MKFreak said.
"Agreed with his orbalisk armor Bane can heal from wounds much faster then before. His Crimson crystal increases his force abilities as well as his lightsaber skills, edge: Darth Bane." Marley said.
For short range weapons Darth Bane gets the edge with his lightsaber
Coming up these two villainous fighters unleash their famous ranged attacks. Next Shang Tsung's soul absorption is compared to Bane's Dark Side Force Powers. Afterwards our experts examine each warrior in the X-Factors. Who will be the Deadliest Warrior...?
Shang Tsung has a ranged attack that sends flaming skulls at his enemies
Flame Skull:
Range: Limited
Weight: Unknown
Stats: Tsung has unlimited supply of skulls that can be thrown at his enemies (Flames increase damage)
"How many flame skulls can a evil sorcerous hold? The answer is allot Shang Tsung can throw these flame skulls at his enemies. These flaming skulls cause blunt force trauma as well as incineration." MKFreak said.
"He's got allot of flame skulls however it takes some time for them to fly down range their rather slow. Having said that he seems to use it as a distracting weapons. Once his foe has blocked said skull he could either fire another or attack them with his sword." Marley explained.
(Tsung sends a flame skull at an opponent hitting him in the forehead knocking him backwards)
Darth Bane counters Tsung's skulls with his own ranged weapon
The Force Push:
Range: Limited
Weight: Unknown
Stats: Bane can knock foes off their feet and block projectiles (Power Increased 100% with Orbalisk)
"Bane's force push is basic and surprising powerful. With his orbalisk armor increasing his force powers by approximately 100% he can create a powerful force that knocks down everything in front of it." Marley said.
"The Push is also great at countering projectiles he could simply raise his hands and send any projectile by to it thrower." MKFreak explained.
(Bane uses his force push on an opponent sending him flying backwards)
Our experts factored in the strengths and weaknesses of both fighters and found a difficult decision.
"I can't really give a direct edge Shang Tsung has more flame skulls at his disposal while Bane is a very powerful force wielder, edge: Even." MKFreak said.
"Agreed the Tsung's flames can cause more trauma and Bane's push is more powerful." Marley said.
In ranged weaponry the edge even
With Darth Bane ahead Shang Tsung intends to even the score with his more powerful weapon
Soul Absorption:
Regenerative Powers
Gives memories and Skills of every soul he's stolen
Souls: Scorpion & Sindel
Scorpion: Kunai-Spear
Sindel: Agility & Banshee Scream
"Now everybody in the world knows about Shang Tsung's powers. Once when he was found cheating in a mortal kombat championship Tsung was cursed by the elder gods. This curse made him age until he died. The one way to prevent this fate Shang Tsung gained the ability to steal souls." MKFreak said.
"Not only can he steal souls he also can also transform into anybody who he absorbed. This soul absorption also regenerates his health and gives him multiple skills and abilities." Marley said.
(Shang Tsung transformers into Scorpion throwing his Rope Dart into Kano pulling towards him and punching his foe in the forehead sending him flying backwards)
Darth Bane has his own legendary abilities which can be increased with his orbalisk armor
Dark Side Force Powers:
Increased 100% w/. Orbalisk
Unlimited Power
Abilities:
Force Lightning: Sends powerful beams of electricity
Force Choke:
Force Wave: Increases knowledge and power
Death Field: Destroys everything in its path
"Bane is a powerhouse with his Orbalisk and already powerful force abilities. Even without his armor his death field and force lightning destroy anything and anyone in front of it. Now imagine that power increased by 100%." Marley said.
"He can gain power and knowledge through force wave stun foes with force push choke them out with force choke and of course stop hearts with his force lightning. However his most powerful ability is the death field an incredibly powerful attack that uses compressed energy though it takes time to charge up and is very tiring." MKFreak stated.
(Bane stands in front of a squad of Republic Soldiers as they the soldiers fired their rifles at Bane he created a massive death field and obliterated every soldier in its path)
We factored the skills and strengths of both fighters
"Shang Tsung can steal Bane's soul thats all I care about, edge: Shang Tsung." MKFreak said.
"This is a tough one Bane is incredibly powerful with the force but Shang Tsung could incapacitate him and then steal his soul, edge: Shang Tsung."
In abilities Shang Tsung takes the edge with his soul absorption
X-Factor Evaluations:
"First we have power and this goes to Darth Bane in a landslide because his orbalisk increases his already increased power by 100% it was still close considering Shang Tsung's soul absorption Bane at a 100 to Shang Tsung's 92. Next we've got experience and Shang Tsung has the advantage because he's 500 years old and has absorbed thousands of souls. He takes this with a 98 to Bane's 88. For fatigue Shang Tsung is 500 years old and is still fighting and winning sometimes Bane is much younger and his orbalisk gives him additional physical and mental strength it was close but Bane has it with a 84 to Shang Tsung's 80. Killer instinct was a difficult debate like any other Sith lord Darth Bane is a killer Shang Tsung has killed thousands of people before expect he does it to survive. Bane is killing for power and because he's been programed to kill trained from such a young age. Bane takes this with a 90 to Shang Tsung 87. Our last X-factor is inspiration and Shang Tsung is fighting for himself in order to survive he nearly allowed Shao Kahn to conquer Earth but failed to do so. Bane introduced a new rule for the Sith that lasted for thousands of years and spread fear across the galaxy he takes this by a landslide with a 94 to Shang Tsung's 58." Rob explained.

Daly clicks the switch and the battle opens up to Darth Bane as he walked through the remains of an ancient temple. Shang Tsung had appeared behind the Sith Lord and threw a flame skull at his opponent. Bane sensed this and sent the skull back at Tsung with his force push. Shang Tsung threw a second flame skull deflecting the reflected skull. Darth Bane drew his lightsaber and ignited it as the camera panned around the room showing both villains.
FIGHT!
Shang Tsung ran towards Darth Bane who swung his lightsaber Shang Tsung disappeared for a moment before reappearing behind Bane throwing another flame skull hitting Bane in the back. Frustrated Darth Bane swung his lightsaber at Tsung who ducked underneath the blade. Shang Tsung punched Bane multiple times in the chest before catching him in the jaw. As Bane fumbled backwards Shang Tsung ran towards him. Bane looked up at Shang Tsung and began to choke him with his force choke. Tsung struggled for a moment before teleporting across the temple. Darth Bane gave out a booming war cry that shook the temple before charging his foe. Shang Tsung transformed into Scorpion and threw his rope dart at Darth Bane who cut it in half with his lightsaber.

Darth Bane walked around Shang Tsung raising his lightsaber above his head before he could strike down his incapacitate foe Tsung teleported behind him kicking him in the back of his helmet knocking it off. Angered Bane swung his lightsaber at Shang Tsung who dodged the blows. As Bane loaded up a powerful swing Tsung jumped backwards sending a flame skull at his opponent knocking him backwards. Before Bane could retaliate Shang Tsung picked him off his feet and began to slowly absorb his soul. Bane struggled for a few moments preform sending a powerful jolt of electricity into Shang Tsung's abdomen. The two men looked at each other as Bane ignited his lightsaber Shang transformed into Bane himself. Surprised Bane jumped backwards as Tsung thrust his sword at him. Shang Tsung's sword was stopped by Orbalisk Shang Tsung blocked Bane's lightsaber with his straight but was surprised to see it cut his sword in half. Bane swung his lightsaber again cutting the sword in half again. As Bane readied another swing Tsung knocked him backwards with his force push. Bane and Tsung charged up a death field. The two men nearing completion of their respected death fields Bane ignited his lightsaber and threw at Shang Tsung piercing the orbalisk and sticking out his back. Tsung collapsed to one knee as Bane launched his death field. Both death fields met in the center of the temple causing a massive explosion as the smoke cleared both were laying on the ground Darth Bane stood up shaking his head and picking his lightsaber of Tsung's abdomen. As Shang Tsung transformed back to his original form his devoured souls flying out of his corpse.
K.O!

"Shang Tsung nearly pulled off the victory however he couldn't counter Darth Bane's more powerful force powers and lightsaber skills. He just took too much damage at the beginning of the battle. And he couldn't harm Bane because of his orbalisk" Rob explained.
