A/N: It's time for a new Death Battle. Hope you enjoy! And I'll actually start with some stats in this Death Battle and their backgrounds! I'm not gonna write out a battle unfortunately, as I no longer have the time and am working on a secret project! Hope you understand. I'll just give their stats, backgrounds and why one would win over the other. Enjoy and for the purposes of this battle, Voldemort doesn't have his horcruxes.

Let's start with Skulduggery Pleasant;

His real name is unknown. We know he is Irish, he is the smooth talking, witty, charismatic and well dressed living skeleton who can do magic. We are first introduced to him to him in the first Skulduggery Pleasant book and he immediately establishes himself as a memorable character with his power and witticism. He takes a mentoring role over Valkyrie Cain and teaches her the ways of elemental magic and they go on adventures!

Occupation: Detective.

Age: Over 100.

He is an expert martial artist and hand to hand combatant. But he is also a very skilled marksmen, especially with his revolver. And unlike most sorcerers in his universe, he can use TWO types of magic, Elemental and Necromancy. He completely mastered both and has hundreds of years of experience. He will be a formidable foe.

Lord Voldemort:

The Dark Lord of the Harry Potter universe... He who shall not be named. Arguably the best wizard of his generation besides Dumbledore. He created his own spell, mastered flight, is a master of manipulation. He possess the most powerful wand, the Elder Wand... Yet it doesn't fully obey him and never will. He can read minds and fly, he can teleport and kill a person instantly. He can even control them indefinitely. He battled evenly with Dumbledore and Harry Potter. He's killed Severus Snape and Mad-Eye Moody, two VERY powerful wizards in their own right.

Even Dumbledore feared his power in a slight way, this means that Voldemort is no one to be trifled with.

Strengths: Skulduggery:

He's an expert hand to hand fighter and skilled marksmen.

Over a century of experience.

One of the few complete masters of the Elemental field of magic.

He has a form in which he changes personalities and turns evil with no regard for life... Lord Vile. This is where he uses Necromancy and becomes one of the most powerful sorcerers of all time.

He has a wider variety of weapons.

He's stronger and faster than Voldemort.

He has a very strong resistance to mental attacks.

Strengths: Voldemort:

He has a more versatile type of magic.

His magic is arguably more powerful.

He can read minds and control people.

He is manipulative.

He can fly without the aid of a broom.

He can teleport.

He is a master of Non-Verbal magic.

He has mastered all the unforgivable curses.

Weaknesses: Skulduggery:

He is slightly arrogant and narcissistic.

He has a very bad temper and can lose his cool easily.

He jokes around a bit TOO much.

Weaknesses: Voldemort:

He too is arrogant and narcissistic.

He loses his temper EVEN MORE than Skulduggery.

He doesn't have anyway to fight apart from magic.

So, who would win? The answer... Skulduggery Pleasant. Why? Well here's why.

Analysis:

Although Voldemorts magic is more powerful, it wouldn't matter against Skulduggery, he's fought literal Gods... He didn't win, but he held his own. He was hunted by these gods for nearly two years, this is where he mastered elemental magic and learned to fly.

The Killing Curse WOULD NOT work in Skulduggery. Why? Because Skulduggery is already dead. He has been pulled apart and had his bones broken and kept fighting on and healing. He could merely shrug off the Killing Curse.

Occlumency wouldn't work on Skulduggery, so Voldemort couldn't use Skulduggery's tortured past on him. The reason Occlumency wouldn't work is because Skulduggery has powerful mental blocks to resist this type of attack.

Skulduggery has a gun, is a master martial artist and has a more precise set of skills.

Sometimes more friends... Less is more. Skulduggery's Quality over Voldermort's Quantity.

The winner is Skulduggery Pleasant...

Next Time!

As suggested by Insieme Per La Vittoria:

Tublacain Alhambra... Vs... Gambit.
