Hello, everyone—sorry about the long wait; I was preoccupied with college starting back up again. Plus, I needed some time to think up new match-ups—and as it is; I'm barely able to scrape by with a "Season 1" of this show. PLEASE, send me some inspiration for fights!
*NOTE: I don't own Deadliest Warrior, Marvel, or DC. Boy, I wish I did, though. This story is totally fictional—none of the characters are real, save the three Deadliest Warrior hosts. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for future matches, please let me know. I will take every suggestion that I receive into consideration.
All statements by the Truly Awesome Narrator (David Wenham) are in ITALICS.
Deadliest Hero: Green Lantern Corps vs. Alpha Flight
As the show begins, we see a black-haired Caucasian man wearing a green mask and uniform with a circular logo on the chest. He's also wearing a green ring, which he aims at the camera.
Green Lantern Corps: intergalactic police force endowed with the willpower to make anything and everything happen.
We see numerous members of the Corps in space, launching energy blasts from their rings at an unseen assailant.
We now see a black-haired young man wearing a black-and-white uniform. He holds up his fists and launches two quick punches at the camera.
Alpha Flight: Canada's first line of defense for international incidents.
We see numerous members of Alpha Flight, including Northstar, Aurora and Puck, fighting off a team of bandits.
WHO…IS…DEADLIEST?
We now see a montage of numerous comic book-themed weapons being tested.
To find out, our world-class fighters are testing the heroes' most lethal weapons. Using 21st-century science, we'll see what would happen if the two heroes went toe-to-toe—no rules, no safety, no mercy. Superhero vs. Superhero. Marvel vs. DC. It's a duel to the death, to decide who is…
THE DEADLIEST HERO!
As the title sequence ends, we find ourselves in the fight club.
Welcome to the fight club. In this high-tech battle zone where comic book worlds collide, we've gathered heroes, scientists, trauma doctors, and computer programmers, and then turned them loose with a weapons arsenal any comic book aficionado would kill to get their hands on. It's all to create a true-to-life deathmatch between two legendary teams of heroes: the Green Lantern Corps, the fearless guardians of the planet Oa, versus Alpha Flight, the equally fearless first-line defense of the Great White North.

Lead biomedical expert Geoff Desmoulin will track the test findings using state-of-the-art equipment.
"I'm gonna get to bring all my tools to the table," Desmoulin explains, "and measure how fast, how hard, and how lethally these weapons hit."
E.R. doctor Armand Dorian will check the lethality of each strike.
"Based on my knowledge of injuries, I'm gonna tell you which wounds are gonna kill, and which wounds a person could walk away from," the physician explains.
Computer whiz Max Geiger* will analyze the data and input it into a battle simulation program developed by Slitherine Studios that will determine the winner.
"Today, we've got two lethal teams of heroes fighting one another," says Geiger. "It's time to break out the old five-on-five squad battle tactics for this one, because this battle is going to get ugly."
We now see a burly young man with orange-red hair wearing a Green Lantern uniform. He points his power ring at the camera as he glares at it.
Wielding weapons for the Green Lantern Corps: Guy Gardner. Guy has been a Green Lantern for most of his life, and knows everything there is to know about being a Corps member.
"There's nobody stronger than the Corps," Gardner sneers. "We are the elite of the elite, and our weapons and tactics are the best there is."
We now see a small, bipedal dog-like creature also wearing a Green Lantern uniform. He's surrounded by ninjas, and he looks at the camera with a pitiful look on his face.
Also fighting for the Green Lanterns: G'nort. Despite his…"incompetence", G'nort knows the ins and outs of Green Lantern technology, and has proven himself as an invaluable member of the Corps many times.
"The Corps is the strongest force in the galaxy," G'nort babbles. "There's no one that can take down the Corps—we have the best weapons, the best tactics, the best weapons, the best fighting skills—did I already say we've got the best weapons?"
The legendary Green Lantern Corps are based on the planet Oa, which is in and of itself a living being. The backbone behind the Corps is their power rings, which were created by a super-intelligent, all-knowing alien race called the Guardians many eons ago. The ring focuses its wearer's willpower into forcing things to actually happen in real life.
"Our rings are all we need to take somebody down," Gardner boasts. "That's why the Corps is gonna wipe the floor with these Alpha Flight punks."
But our Alpha Flight experts believe that the Green Lanterns aren't as tough as they make themselves out to be.
The camera shows a woman with greenish-yellow skin, very short green hair, and webbed limbs, wearing a green leotard and punching a punching bag.
Fighting for the Canadian team: Marrina Smallwood, a Plodex alien who is a former member of Alpha Flight's second-league command, Beta Flight.
"Alpha Flight is the one of the greatest hero teams in history, hands down," Marrina says. "Nobody gives us enough credit as heroes, but that's about to change today."
We now see a midget wearing a dark blue uniform with a large orange "P" on the front of it. He's wielding a portable photon blaster as he points it at the camera.
Rounding out Team Alpha Flight is Puck, the famous dwarf who helped Alpha Flight out on many of their missions.
"Alpha Flight doesn't get enough credit for their accomplishments," Puck complains. "We were the first nationally renowned Canadian hero team, and we kick-started a lot of future heroes' careers."
Alpha Flight was formed in 1979, as part of a separate branch of the Canadian Department of National Defence. Most team members have Inuit or First Nations heritage, and function as a powerful "delta force" for southern Canada. Members of an elite group, Alpha Flight have been powerful both as a unit and on their own, with some members like Northstar also eventually joining the X-Men.
"Alpha Flight will destroy the Green Lanterns because we can operate on multiple cylinders," Puck explains. "We aren't just limited down to one or two weapons—we can do it all."
So how would this team of "special ops" heroes fare against a team some people claim to wield the most powerful weapon in the universe? Our experts are divided.
"Up front, I've gotta give the edge to Alpha Flight," Geoff comments. "The Green Lanterns have only one weapon at their disposal—their power rings. They're predictable, and I think that's gonna be their downfall."
"We've seen time and time again that the Green Lantern power ring is one of the most powerful weapons known to man," Geiger explains. "I think that's basically all the Green Lantern Corps will need to take down Alpha Flight, who aren't armed properly to deal with that kind of power."
The primary tool for the Corps is their sacred power ring, which provides most of their assault in this battle. And the primary way the ring is used…
We see a tentacled alien with a Green Lantern uniform destroying an asteroid with a single shot of light from his power ring.
Energy Blasts: super-strong beams of light that can cut straight through a human body.
Max, Geoff and our two Green Lantern Corps members are now standing in front of a table filled with lots of weapons and armor adorned with the Green Lantern insignia. Guy Gardner begins to explain the powers of the ring:
"This here is the Corps power ring. It's one-a' the most desirable weapons in the universe, but only members of the GLC can wear it. It's considered sacred to the Corps like that."
"How do the Green Lanterns typically use their ring?" Desmoulin asks.
"One of the best weapons we can make is by firing a beam of charged particles from our ringy-dings to make a big blast of energy," G'nort attempts to explain. "Sort of like a…big…beam of…energy."
"Excuse my associate here," Gardner apologizes before glaring back at G'nort. "He's an idiot..."
G'nort frowns and looks down at the ground.
To test the power and accuracy of the ring energy blast, our team heads outside, where a group of foam torsos have been set up for Guy to take aim at.
"Guy, are you ready?" Desmoulin asks.
"I'm ready!" says Guy as he narrows his eyes at the foam targets before him.
"On my signal! Three, two, one—FIRE!"
Gardner points his power ring at the five targets, and blasts of bright green light shoot out of the ring. Three of Gardner's blasts annihilate the first target they hit, and another almost burns a hole straight through the leftmost mannequin. When the targets are all destroyed, Gardner puts his ring down so Dr. Dorian can assess the damage.
"Yikes!" Max cries.
"YEAH!" Geoff cheers.
"Okay, this is definitely a kill strike," explains Dr. Dorian as he examines one of the foam torsos. "You've cut most of these targets into ribbons with those blasts—there's no way a professional surgeon like me would be able to repair something this severe. These guys are all goners."
An impressive display, but the Alpha Flight team doesn't seem fazed.
"A projectile of light—you guys are so predictable it's not even funny anymore," Marrina grumbles. "This is nothing compared to the long-range blasting power of some of our heroes."
"You honestly believe you guys can stack up to something like our rings?" Gardner snarls. "Do you have any type of armor that'll protect you from it?"
"Absolutely," Marrina replies. "It's called 'dodging them'!"
The Green Lantern's power rings produce deadly blasts, but Alpha Flight also has two members that can unleash a wicked long-range assault of their own.
We see Alpha Flight members Northstar and Aurora holding hands and firing a blast of powerful energy at two thugs.
Northstar and Aurora's Photon Blasts: powerful blasts of light that can burn through solid rock.
Marrina and Puck are now with our Deadliest Warrior experts on the firing range outside as Puck explains how the brother-and-sister pair utilize one of their special weapons:
"Two of our most famous members were Northstar and Aurora. They're fraternal twins, and they have basically the same powers—both can travel at near-light speed, and both have the ability to launch beams of supercharged photons at anybody that gets in their way."
"Well, we've got five torsos set up just like we did with Gardner and G'nort," says Geoff, pointing behind him. "You think you can destroy them faster?"
"Leave it to me," Puck assures Geoff.
Puck will use a handheld photon blaster to cause damage similar to Northstar and Aurora.
"Puck, are you ready?" Geoff asks.
"Yes, sir!" the dwarf replies.
"Three, two, one—FIRE!"
On Geoff's word, Puck aims the handheld photon gun at one of the targets and fires. A beam of supercharged light hits the first target and almost cuts it in two. Puck fires the remainder of the beam at the other targets, completely decimating them. When the damage is done, he puts down the blaster and allows Dr. Dorian to come in and assess the damage.
"Whoo—yeah!" Geoff cheers.
"Holy crap, look at this!" says Dr. Dorian as he examines one of the targets. "You've cut this guy almost in half with that blast! This guy's a dead goner, no doubt about it."
Which team has the more lethal long-range blasts?
"Even though both of these tactics are lethal," Desmoulin tells the audience, "I think I have to give the edge to the Green Lanterns in this one. They have longer reach with their ring blasts; plus, every member of the Corps can use this tactic. Only Northstar and Aurora have access to photon blasts. So edge, Green Lanterns."
For long-range weapons, the edge goes to the Green Lantern Corps for the power ring energy blasts. But this match is only getting started, as both teams wield deadly medium-range weapons. And for the Green Lantern Corps, they turn to a tool used by the legendary Navy SEALs.
We see a pig-like alien Corps member using a rifle similar to an M16 to shoot several targets on an interplanetary firing range.
The M4 Colt Commando Rifle: capable of blasting a hole through a target more than fifty yards away.
Gardner and G'nort are now out on the firing range with our Deadliest Warrior hosts. Gardner holds the Colt Commando as he explains how it works:
"This here is the ol' reliable Colt Commando. It's used by the U.S. military, and the Corps also uses it for simple or quick-workin' jobs, too."
"Why would you need something like this when you've got your power rings?" Geiger asks.
"When our rings run outta power, we carry around something like this for backup," G'nort explains. "It's got a hundred-foot range, can fire about 600 rounds a minute, and it's pretty lightweight to carry around."
"Fuzz-face is usually a dolt," Gardner admits, "but he knows the weapons we use to a f***ing 'T'." Behind him, G'nort beams proudly.
To test the rifle's power, our team sets up a group of targets for Gardner to take aim at.
"Okay, Guy, on my signal only!" Geoff shouts. "Got it?"
"Gotcha!" Guy replies as he takes aim at the targets before him.
"Three, two, one—FIRE!"
On Geoff's word, Guy fires the rifle at the blood-filled splatter balls set up before him. He hits five targets easily within about seven seconds.
The speed and accuracy of the M4 is impressive, but our Alpha Flight experts aren't impressed in the least.
"Very impressive display," Puck admits. "I guess I won't stand there and let you shoot at me, huh?"
"Do you guys have anything that can combat something like this?" Desmoulin asks Puck and Marrina.
Just watch," Marrina says, smirking. "We've got something that'll knock your socks off."
Alpha Flight doesn't use firearms, but the two famous team members who can form photon blasts are also able to launch powerful strikes at bullet-fast speed.
We see Northstar and Aurora punching a crook with lightning-fast jabs and uppercuts.
Northstar and Aurora's Speed Punching power: flying fists of death.
The team is back inside, and Marrina starts to explain the power behind the twin Alpha Flight members' speed punches:
"Northstar and Aurora also have the power to focus their speed into their fists. This means that they're able to throw punches at over 7,000 feet per second."
"Now that's something I've gotta see tested," Geoff says.
Geoff is now seen strapping two devices to Marrina's hands.
Geoff attaches a high-speed sensor to Marrina's hands to measure the power of her punches. She also wears a pair of speed-vibrating gloves that will give results similar to the twins' speed punches.
Marrina is now standing in front of a side of beef wearing the gloves and the device.
"Ready, Marrina?" Geoff asks.
"Ready!" Marrina shouts.
"Three, two, one—PUNCH IT!"
Geoff doesn't have to tell Marrina twice—she begins unloading on the giant target with lightning-fast jabs. As she punches the slab of beef, the bones quickly start to break, and a little blood even starts to seep out of the flesh. After about ten seconds, she lets up so Dr. Dorian can assess the damage.
"Okay, normally, when someone punches a person, it's not gonna kill them," Dorian explains. "But because you've jacked up the speed of these punches, you've broken numerous ribs and caused some significant trauma to this cow. I imagine that if you kept on punching like you just did for a few more seconds, this would actually be a killing strike."
But is the speed-punching better than the Corps' M4 Colt Commando?
"For me, it's usually about the quickness of the weapon—which weapon can actually kill first," Desmoulin tells the viewing audience. "In this case, since the twins are super-fast and aren't giving the Corps any time to retrieve their rifle, they have the potential to kill first. I'm giving it to Alpha Flight in this one."
For medium-range weapons, Alpha Flight takes the edge with Northstar and Aurora's speed punching power. As the fight moves in close, our teams ready their melee combat style. And for the Green Lantern Corps, nothing is more satisfying than using your own body as an effective weapon.
We see a golden-skinned female Corps member kicking an assailant upside the head with a roundhouse.
Martial Arts Skills: the bread-and-butter of many trained assassins.
Guy Gardner and our Deadliest Warrior guys are inside, in front of the computer as Gardner starts to explain about the martial arts techniques:
"A lot of our members are skilled in different types-a' martial arts—karate, judo, ninjitsu, you name it. So if our rings go out and we lose our rifle, we at least have something to fall back on."
"Well, we've seen a lot of people test their own bodies as a weapon before, and nobody's proven to be much of a threat," Geiger says, remembering some of the tests from previous episodes. "Think you can break the tradition?"
"Oh yeah," Guy replies confidently.
Guy now stands in front of a ballistics gel torso, ready to do some damage to the poor dummy.
"All right, Guy," says Desmoulin, "high speed's up, pressure mats are up and running—whenever you're ready."
After a few seconds of preparation, Guy unloads with a big straight-arm punch to the torso, and then follows up with a kick to the chest, knocking it backwards.
Was Guy's punch-and-kick combo enough to cause a kill?
"I've got 33 pounds per square inch," Desmoulin announces. "Enough to cause a fracture if it hits the right spot, maybe punch through the skin, but it's not enough to kill."
"See?" Puck says, mocking Guy. "You spent all the time talking about your deadly punches, and look what happened!"
"Keep it up, squirt, and you'll feel one-a' these deadly punches to your f***ing face!" Guy says angrily.
Team Green Lantern talks a tough game, but Team Alpha Flight feels that two of their members have enough to counter the Corp's martial arts skills.
We see Alpha Flight member Sasquatch manhandling a group of thugs.
Sasquatch's Strength: power straight from the legendary hominid himself.
Puck and the Deadliest Warrior team are inside again as Puck starts to explain Sasquatch's history:
"Sasquatch was one of the founding members of Alpha Flight. He's named after the same massive creature that roams the forests of Canada, and he's just as strong."
"I'd love to see how someone that strong can inflict a kill on something," Desmoulin admits.
"No problem," says Puck, smiling and gesturing behind him.
We now see the doors of the fight club open, and a very familiar giant green man wearing purple shorts walks through the doors.
To simulate Sasquatch's strength, Puck and Marrina have brought in a long-time friend of Alpha Flight—the legendary Incredible Hulk.
"Hulk—good to see you, man!" says Geoff as he extends his hand.
"Thanks…Hulk glad to be here," replies Hulk as he takes Geoff's hand and shakes it. We hear bones cracking as Geoff grimaces in pain.
To test the killing power of someone as strong as Sasquatch, the Hulk will demonstrate his power on the closest thing to human flesh—a pig carcass.
"Hulk, are you ready?" Geoff asks.
"Yeah!" Hulk roars.
"Three, two, one—DESTROY IT!"
On Geoff's word, Hulk punches the suspended pig carcass, sending it wheeling end-over-end to the opposite side of the fight club. Everyone around is astounded by the results.
"HOLY SHIT!" Geoff shouts.
"Damn!" Max adds. "Now that's the way you make an impact!"
In addition to Sasquatch, another famous member of Alpha Flight is able to provide close-combat skills in a very unique way.
We see Alpha Flight member Snowbird morphing into a giant eagle and battling with some thugs.
Snowbird's Animal Morphs: providing her with the power and cunning of any animal from north of the border.
The team is shown leading four trained animals into the building: a polar bear, a caribou, a Canadian lynx, and a golden eagle.
To simulate Snowbird's power, our team has gathered an assembly of animals from the Great White North to see how much damage they can do to the human body.
"Okay, the high-speed's up," Geoff tells the animals' trainer. "Whenever you're ready."
The animal trainer gives a verbal command, and all four animals attack the gel torsos. The polar bear manages to decapitate its victim with one swipe of its front paw, while the caribou completely impales the torso on its antlers. The lynx bites its target, and cuts straight through the head with its teeth, causing blood to stream out of the brain. The eagle rips and tears at the torso's chest with its talons, eventually ripping straight through to the liver.
The damage done by the animals is impressive…but is it enough to kill?
"Okay, these look like they'd all be enough to kill," says Geoff as he examines the destroyed torsos. "The only one I'm concerned about is the eagle. It looks like it took a long time for it to rip through that torso, and as small as it is, I think I could easily swat that thing away in time."
"Yeah, but whatever Snowbird morphs into, it's at least the same size as she is," Marrina explains. "Imagine an eagle the size of a parasail coming down straight on your face."
Martial arts tactics or a combo of strength and animal powers—which one would outperform the other?
"Sasquatch and Snowbird take this one, hands down," Desmoulin tells his comrades. "Both can dish out a lot of damage with their respective powers, and that should be more than enough to combat the Corp's martial arts skills. So, edge, Alpha Flight."
"Edge, Alpha Flight," Dr. Dorian agrees.
For short-range weapons, the edge goes to Alpha Flight, for Sasquatch's strength and Snowbird's animal morphs. But the Green Lantern Corps isn't packing it in yet—our teams still need to test both teams' special weapons. And for the Corps, one of their most feared and deadliest weapons takes years to master.
We see a shark-like alien Corps member creating a mallet of light from his ring and smashing an enemy upside the head with it.
Power ring Created Matter: able to make anything capable of destroying an opponent.
Gardner and G'nort are now standing inside the fight club next to a group of targets, where they begin to explain this ring power to the Deadliest Warrior team.
"One thing we can do with our rings is form all sorts-a things out of the light we can shoot from it," Guy explains.
"Actually, the charged ions from the ringy-ding's inner battery materialize into the form of any type of inanimate object that the wearer can picture in his mind," G'nort corrects him, effectively surprising Max, Geoff and Dr. Dorian.
"Whatever," growls Gardner, clearly used to G'nort's ramblings. "All's I know is that it takes a real long time to master."
"Well, we've got four targets set up," Max says, pointing behind him. "Why don't you show us some of the ways that this power can be used?"
"Got it," Guy responds, nodding.
Guy and G'nort will each be given two targets. They will have ten seconds to destroy their adversaries.
Gardner and G'nort now stand in front of the targets as they await Geoff's signal.
"Are you ready?" Desmoulin asks the two Lanterns.
"Yes!" Gardner and G'nort say simultaneously.
"Three, two, one—DESTROY 'EM!"
On Geoff's word, Gardner creates a baseball bat from his ring, and swings it at the head of one of the two foam torsos, almost decapitating it. He takes aim at his second torso's chest, smashing it inward with one smack. Meanwhile, G'nort has chosen to materialize a sword out of his ring, which he plunges into the left-hand torso's chest. He pulls it out, streaming blood everywhere, and takes aim at the right-hand torso's neck, decapitating it with one swipe.
"Oh-ho-ho!" Desmoulin shouts.
"Yeah!" Geiger adds.
The damage by the created matter is severe, but our Alpha Flight experts feel they have something better.
"Of course that stuff would be effective," Marrina begins. "These dummies aren't wearing any armor! Our team captain has armor so strong, nothing can get past it."
We see a clip of Guardian shooting an adversary with a beam of plasma from his famous armor.
Guardian's Suit: a space-age set of armor made of steel mesh, capable of blocking hits and launching powerful projectiles.
Puck and our Deadliest Warrior team are now standing in front of a display case with Guardian's suit inside. Puck begins to explain the background behind the suit:
"This suit was invented by Guardian himself. It's made of steel mesh, and it's like a hard exoskeleton—it's light, yet durable. He can fly with it on, he can lock down to the earth's gravitational field to make himself invisible, and of course, my favorite—the infamous plasma bolts."
"Well, this armor looks to be a bit big for you," says Geoff. "Uh, no offense," he quickly adds.
"None taken," replies the dwarf, patting Geoff on the leg.
To compensate for the size difference, Geoff has outfitted Puck with a miniaturized version of Guardian's suit, complete with most of the same powers. Puck will have five seconds to take out three targets with the three different projectiles embedded in the suit—plasma bolts, concussive energy, and ultrasonic beams.
"Are you ready, Puck?" Geoff asks.
"Oh yeah!" Puck says, already aiming at one of the targets.
"Three, two, one—FIRE!"
On Geoff's word, Puck fires a plasma bolt at the first gel torso, knocking it down off its steel support rod. He fires a beam of concussive energy from the suit's gauntlet at the second target, knocking it down as well. The third beam fired at the third target is a bolt of ultrasonic waves, and after a few seconds, the torso's head ruptures and blood spills out the front.
"Ho-ho-holy crap!" Geoff shouts, smiling at the damage.
"Okay, this is very impressive," says Dr. Dorian as he steps in to check the damage done to the torsos. "The first one, that was the plasma bolt. You not only knocked this guy on his butt, you completely destroyed half this guy's face…this guy's a dead goner. Next guy, that was the concussion blast—you knocked him on his butt. That's what that ray was meant to do, was cause concussions, not to kill, so that's understandable. Last guy, that was the ultrasonic waves—no need to analyze this one, the whole side of his face is split open. He's dead and on the ground in a few seconds."
"Very impressive," Geoff admits. "This is a very effective weapon."
Despite the suit's versatility, our Green Lantern team isn't buying it.
"If that suit's force field isn't taken advantage, our ringy-dings will make mincemeat out of that guy!" G'nort says, the hairs on his collar standing straight up.
Created matter or Guardian's suit—which one takes the edge?
"I'm torn here," Geoff admits to his comrades. "On one hand, the GLC can create a lot of things to counter Alpha Flight with their power rings. On the other hand, Guardian has a lot of powerful tools embedded into his suit. It's really a toss-up to me."
"I see your point," Max admits. "To be fair, we'll let the computer decide."
Max inputs the data into the computer. It's a close call, but the Green Lantern Corps takes the edge in special weapons for their ring-created matter.
We now see a montage of all the weapons that have been tested on this episode.
The testing is now complete. Now, Max loads all the data into the simulation program that will determine the winner.
Close-range weapons edge: Alpha Flight, for Sasquatch's strength & Snowbird's morphs
Medium-range weapons edge: Alpha Flight, for the Twins' speed punches
Long-range weapons edge: Green Lantern Corps, for the ring energy blast
Special weapons edge: Green Lantern Corps, for ring-created matter
To keep the battle from being won by a single lucky blow, Max will simulate one thousand battles between 5-person squads.
"I think we have all the data we need," Max says as he turns from the computer screen to Geoff and Dr. Dorian nearby, "so let's just go ahead and start the show."
"Looking forward to it…" Geoff nods.
Max presses a button, and the entire screen goes all Matrix, giving way to the battle scene.
The Battle
The simulation takes place on a satellite orbiting the planet Oa, in the Green Lantern Corp's headquarters. As the camera cuts to inside the satellite, Hal Jordan, Katma Tui, Kilowog, Ch'p, and Arisia Rrab are seated at a table in the lounge, talking and enjoying the recent downtime they've been having. Ch'p tells a joke, and the rest of the Corps members laugh. In another part of the base, an automatic door opens, and Guardian enters the hallway. After looking around, he motions for someone to follow him, and Northstar, Snowbird, Aurora and Sasquatch enter the corridor behind him. Back inside the lounge, Hal hears the noise of the automatic door opening. He quiets his friends, and after listening for a second or two, the sound of another door opening is heard. The five Corps members get up and head out to investigate. As they exit the lounge, Alpha Flight rounds the corner, and the two teams come face-to-face for the first time. Katma glares at the Alpha Flight members and starts to aim her power ring at the intruding force. Aurora panics and fires a photon blast at Katma, killing her.
Green Lanterns: 4 Alpha Flight: 5
After seeing his comrade die, Kilowog fires a blast from his ring, catching Aurora in the chest and killing her instantly.
GL: 4 AF: 4
The remaining members of Alpha Flight turn tail and retreat down the hallway, but the Green Lanterns give chase. As his teammates keep going down the hallway, Northstar suddenly turns a corner and hides behind a doorway, waiting for the Green Lanterns to come close. Jordan and Arisia manage to run by him, but Northstar catches Kilowog in the face with a stiff punch, knocking him down. Ch'p tries to save Kilowog by jumping on Northstar's back and biting his neck, but Northstar shakes him off, pins him to the ground, and starts punching him in the face repeatedly at lightning-fast speed. As Kilowog regains his senses, he sees Northstar punching Ch'p and tries to fire his ring at Northstar, but it's out of power. Kilowog retrieves an M4 Colt Commando rifle from his side just as Ch'p slumps back against the wall, bleeding from multiple places on his face. Satisfied that Ch'p is dead, Northstar turns around, and Kilowog fires his Commando, hitting Northstar right between his eyes and killing him instantly.
GL: 3 AF: 3
Wielding his rifle, Kilowog runs off to catch up with his comrades. Further down the hall, Snowbird, Sasquatch and Guardian retreat into a bathroom. Jordan and Arisia run past the room and head downstairs, but Kilowog stops, and on a hunch, cautiously opens the door as he passes. Wielding his rifle, he slowly starts to enter, unaware that the three Alpha Flight members are waiting for him in the room's three toilet stalls. Suddenly, Sasquatch jumps out from a stall and throws a punch at Kilowog. Kilowog dodges it and fires his Commando at Sasquatch, but misses. He runs over to one of the stalls in search of cover, but Guardian emerges and grabs Kilowog. As he restrains him, Sasquatch unloads a massive punch to Kilowog's face, fracturing his jaw. Kilowog staggers into another stall as Sasquatch grabs Kilowog and heaves the pig-like alien into the tank behind the toilet, killing him. Sasquatch throws the dead Kilowog's body onto the toilet seat as he, Guardian and Snowbird exit the bathroom and start to search for more Corps members.
GL: 2 AF: 3
A few seconds later, the three remaining members of Alpha Flight enter the generator room downstairs. Guardian signals for Snowbird to follow him, and Sasquatch goes off in the opposite direction in search of the two remaining Green Lanterns. As Sasquatch rounds a corner, Hal Jordan emerges from the shadows and grabs him. Sasquatch struggles to get free of Jordan's grasp as Arisia appears and kicks Sasquatch in the stomach. As Sasquatch reels back, Jordan and Arisia look at one another and nod. Arisia charges forward and tackles Sasquatch to the ground. As Sasquatch struggles to get up, Jordan creates a large mallet with his power ring, and smashes Sasquatch in the head with it before he and Arisia disappear from sight. Guardian and Snowbird hear the noise and appear on the scene, and arrive in time to find the lifeless body of Sasquatch on the floor.
GL: 2 AF: 2
Snowbird and Guardian mourn their fallen comrade briefly before Guardian sees something moving in the shadows. He nudges Snowbird in the side and points at the shadows. A blinding flash of light envelops Snowbird, flooding the room with light, and the two heroes see Hal Jordan. Snowbird emerges from the light in the form of a polar bear, and she and Guardian charge at Hal. Hal fires a beam of light from his ring, catching the polar bear in the cranium as Guardian rushes toward him. Snowbird morphs back into herself just before taking another shot from Hal's ring, killing the demi-goddess and leaving Guardian all alone.
GL: 2 AF: 1
Guardian fires a beam of plasma at Hal, knocking the Green Lantern back into the wall. He rushes toward Hal and punches him in the face, sending a trickle of blood down his nose. Guardian picks Hal up and sets him up against two small cylindrical generators. As Guardian smashes Hal against the generators, Hal looks up, and we see him smile. As Guardian lifts tries to unload another punch, he looks toward the airlock to see Arisia aiming her ring at him and smiling. She fires a beam of light which hits Guardian right between the eyes, killing him instantly. Arisia approaches Jordan and helps her comrade up, and they both head for the computer room to report the break-in.
Winner: Green Lantern Corps
"The Green Lantern Corps emerged victorious 56% of the time in the simulation," Geiger explains. "This is because each member of Alpha Flight had a specialized weapon, and if the wrong member of Alpha Flight was killed, the team was seriously crippled. The GLC were all equipped with more or less the same weapons, so if any member of the team was killed, they could all fight back with the same amount of firepower. While Alpha Flight are tough, they couldn't stack up to a team that fights as a unit like the Corps."
In another close match, the Corps scored 560 kills. The energy blasts and matter creation from their power rings each got kills in the triple digits.
Green Lantern Kills: 560
Power Ring Energy Blast: 293
M4 Colt Commando Rifle: 38
Martial Arts Techniques: 9
Power Ring Created Matter: 220
Alpha Flight scored a fairly impressive 440 kills. Their best weapon was their leader Guardian's suit, but it wasn't enough.
Alpha Flight Kills: 440
Twins' Photon Blast: 123
Twins' Speed Punches: 42
Sasquatch's Strength: 93
Snowbird's Morphs: 42
Guardian's Suit: 140
"The GLC was vicious with those power rings," Desmoulin admits. "They may truly be the most powerful weapon in the universe."
"This is a computer-generated fight," Marrina says, defending Alpha Flight's loss. "In real life, we'd use our wits to outperform the Corps."
"Hulk no like results!" the green strongman roars. "Canada heroes should have won!"
"Of course the better hero won," Gardner says, smiling. "Our weapons are the best in the universe."
"Yes!" says G'nort as he rushes toward Guy. "I knew we could beat 'em!" He jumps up in Gardner's arms and extends his tongue to lick him.
"Don't even think about it, bone breath…" Guy warns his fellow Corps member.
The camera shows about forty members of the Corps standing in a line outside their base. They raise their rings up in the air in victory as the episode comes to an end.
*Yes, it's true that Max Geiger will be replaced as the computer programmer on Deadliest Warrior when Season 3 starts. However, I see no reason at all to replace him as the programmer on Deadliest Hero. Sorry, Mack…
Chapter 5 is done, and DC is now ahead in victories, 3-2. That can all change in our next episode, when two of the most famous comic book heroines of all time face off, as the X-Men's Emma Frost (AKA the White Queen) takes on Wonder Woman. See you next time!
