"Luck's a revolving door, you just need to know when it's your time to walk through

In memory of Stan Lee.

Rest In Peace (1922-2018)


What makes us human? What differentiates us from the likes of the animals that walk among us?

(Red) Based on recent events, I can't really tell anymore. But I can tell that there are those people who walk a very fine line between man and monster

(Geo) Beast Boy, The Shape-Shifter of the Teen Titens

(Ender) And Kurt Wagner, AKA Nightcrawler. I'm Ender, he's Geo and that's Red. And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, skills, feats and weaknesses to find out which man-beast would win A Death Battle


Garfield Mark Logan was the son of a former child actress and animal wildlife preservationist named Marie Logan. They lived in East Africa, when suddenly Garfield contracted a very rare illness called Sakutia

(Geo) Luckily for Garfield, a freaking ALIEN named Miss Martian offered to do a blood transfusion to save this boys life

(Red) Good news: It worked! Garfield survived. Bad news...he got transformed into a green skin alien-human called a metahuman. But hey..he lived. Oh yeah...and his mom got murdered by some woman named Queen Bee

(Ender) Stricken with grief and blaming himself for his mother's death, Garfield was recruited by the Doom Patrol, who gave him the nickname 'Changling' It was only after most of his teammate's died that he left the patrol and joined a new group, The Teen Titens, under a new name: Beast Boy

"Consider this a warning. As of last night, Mr. Nice Guy has left the building"

(Red) Beast Boy has one hell of a power: He can shape shift into ANY animal!

(Geo) TECHNICALLY that's incorrect. He taps into the earth's morphogenetic field, which allows him to morph his body into any creature or animal that he has personally seen and has made meaningful contact with. This makes it very hard to determine EXACTLY all of the animals he can shape shift into.

(Ender) Well, we know some of them. He is frequently seen transforming into animals like hawks, bears, gorillas, wolves and tigers. When he transforms, he gains every ability of that animal. Such as flight, speed, strength and durability.

(Red) Well we know for a fact he grew up in East Africa, so we can assume he can transform into animals from there too. This gives him bonus access to animals like rhinos, elephants, lions, hippos, cheetahs and wildebeests. But that's not all. Apparently, he can also turn into PREHISTORIC animals! As long as he's read about it, he can turn into it!

(Geo) And, he can ALSO turn into other animals from different planets, provided he can tap into that planet's morphogenetic field. He also possess heightened, animal-like senses. So now that we know all of that, we can start listing his transformations and what they can do

(Ender) By transforming into a hawk, eagle or falcon, he gains flight and speed. Some species of hawks can fly at speeds near 120 miles per hour. In fact, the fastest animal in the world is the peregrine falcon, which can dive at speeds of 241 miles per hour. He can gain the strength of a bear, gorilla or even the elusive Sasquatch. He can gain the speed and hunting ability of a lion, tiger or cheetah. The bite of a crocodile, which can equal an upwards of 16,460 newtons of force.

(Geo) For extra defense, he can transform into a tortoise. By becoming an electric eel, he can zap foes an short circuit machinery. The sheer weight of a Rhino or an Elephant, the latter of which can weigh up to 15,400 pounds.

(Red) Or you know, he could just transform into a FUCKING T-REX! These monster could allegedly bite down with over 50,000 pounds of force! And remember, these may not be ALL Beast Boy could turn into! Jesus Christ!

(Ender) Even without his animal forms, Beast Boy has accomplished quite a lot despite his young age. He's a quick and unpredictable thinker and a master of martial arts. He's skilled enough to keep pace with the other Teen Titens, including Raven and Starfire. He's defeated Cinderblock, whose body is made of solid concrete. He threw the giant Trigon to the ground with relative ease, and while as a member of the Doom Patrol even mortally wounded Madame Rouge

(Red) Who once walked away from a from a god damn EXPLOSION completely unfazed!

(Geo) He is certanly impressive, though he DOES have his faults. He is prone to laziness and doesn't always take things seriously. And while his powers allow him to mimic any animal, he also gains the weaknesses of said animal. Also, he is unable to copy the abilities of superhumans, including cyborgs, gods, inter-dimensional beings, mutants, and robots.

(Red) But be warned. When Beast Boy wants you dead, NO ONE is coming to save you!

"Look. I'm sure you're some kind of local hero but I'm a real hero from the big city, so just let me call the shots. And try to keep up."

Kurt Wagner, A mere HOUR after his birth, was found by Margali Szardos-a sorceress gypsy queen.

(Red) Turns out Kurt's dad had a heart attack outside, and his mom was laying next to him also dying...or that's what she claims. Turns out Kurt's REAL parents were a terrorist named Mystique and a freaking DEMON named Azazel. As it turns out, he was thrown into a river when a mob found out about his existence and Azazel saved him and sent Margali to help him. She took him to CLEARLY the best place for a kid to grow up: The circus!

(Geo) Kurt would spend his life being raised and cared for by the circus performers...until some big wig named Arnos Jardine bought out the circus and planned to put Kurt into the 'Freak Show'. He managed to escape and fled to Winzeldorf to be with his foster brother Stefan...who just so happened to have gone crazy and started murdering children

(Ender) After killing him, Kurt was about to be killed by the villagers but his life was saved by a Professor Charles Xavier. Professor Xavier offered Kurt to join the X-men, which he agreed to. From then on, he would become the superhero known as: Nightcrawler.

"All rights, boys. Now comes the fun part."

(Red) So other then having a tail and looking like an emo smurf, what can this guy do? Well, Nightcrawler is super strong, super fast, super flexible, can climb on walls, is skilled in pressure points and has night vision. That tail of his very controlable, and acts like a third arm for him. But he's a mutant, so wheres his awesome power? Oh yeah: HE CAN FUCKING TELEPORT!

(Geo) Nightcrawler can teleport to any place anywhere in the world, so long as he has seen it with his own eyes. The reason for this is because if he teleported randomly...he runs the risks of getting crushed in a wall. He can also teleport other people, including individual parts of their body or teleporting them so much that they get dizzy or pass out.

(Ender) But these powers aren't all, as Nightcrawler carries with him an impressive arsenal. His favorites being his Duel Pirate Swords, which he wields expertly. He also carries a fencing blade, an Image Inducer-which can disguise his appearance-training sticks, and an assassination knife.

(Red) He also once wielded the badass sword known as the Soulsword, but he doesn't anymore. Since it kinda...possessed him. Still, this guy has done some ridiculous shit

(Geo) He's defeated foes such as SaberTooth, The Blob, and even his own parents Mystique and Azazel. And Azazel was a...you know...DEMON! And has tanked a blow from MJOLNIR!

(Ender) He's gone toe-to-toe with Spiderman, who can survive a pointblank grenade explosion and knock a dinosaur our cold in a single punch. He's defeated multiple FBI agents, AND pirates, fought DEADPOOL in a sword fight, and managed to teleport an ENTIRE island of people away. But, he is NOT infallible

(Red) Overusing his teleportation can quickly tire him out, and beings with super senses could easy detect where he's about to spawn. He's not a brash fighter, and prefers to take an indirect route of fighting. Plus, he HAS been defeated before by people like Wolverine, Cyclopes and Iron Fist. But still, Nightcrawler is a powerful X-man. And if he has you, pray to whatever god you believe in

"You know, outside the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I didn't hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes."

Alright the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all

(Geo) Which hero has the superior animal instincts?

(Red) ITS TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!


Titan Tower

12pm

Beast Boy was asleep on the sofa, boxes of pizza by his side. Behind him, a figure dropped silently as he spoke into his earpiece "I have infiltrated the tower"

"Good job Nightcrawler" Wolverine spoke. "Be careful to trip any alarms" As Wolverine said that, Beast boy woke up slowly, seeing the figure.

"Wait a second! Who are you!?" He said, standing up

'Shit! So much for doing this silently' Nightcrawler thought. "Stay quiet boy. I will be out of here quickly"

'How did he get in without triggering the security!?' Beast Boy thought. He enters a fighting pose. "I don't think so!" Nightcrawler takes out his swords

"I suppose we have to do this the hard way..."

FIGHT!

*cue Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace

Nightcrawler lunged at Beast Boy, who jumped backwards to avoid it. He transformed into a gorilla, catching Nightcrawler off guard. Beast Boy slams the mutant in the chin, launching him upwards before grabbing his feet and slamming him into the ground. Nightcrawler puffed into smoke, reappearing behind the shapeshifter, attacking him with his swords. Beast Boy stumbled backwards, bleeding a bit before transforming into a rhino and ramming into Nightcrawler, who tries to hold him back with all his might. They crash into another room, triggering an alarm as Beast Boy transforms again into Elephant, raising his foot to stomp the mutant. Nightcrawler teleports and appears on his back. Using his trunk, Beast Boy tried to grab Nightcrawler, who slashed at it causing Beast Boy great pain. He turned back to normal holding his bleeding nose. Nightcrawler smirked as he punched the shapeshifter hard in the face, sending Beast Boy flying backwards. "Come back when you've grown a little" Nightcrawler said. THe floor began to shake as the metahuman rose as a Sasquatch

"You mean like THIS!?" He roared, running at the mutant, slamming full force into him and knocking the swords out of his hands. Pinning him to the ground, Beast Boy slammed his fists into Nightcrawler. He felt something tap him on his shoulder, turning over and getting smacked by Nightcrawler's tail as the mutant reached for one of his swords. He slashed, which Beast Boy dodged...barely. Turning back to normal, Beast Boy gasped as his hand was gone. Nightcrawler jumped up whole he was distracted and kicked the metahuman through the window, before jumping out after him. As he fell, Beast Boy turned into a falcon to fly away as Nightcrawler tried to grab him. Nightcrawler teleports at the last second to the ground to avoid injury, only to look up and be stabbed in eye by a talon screaming in agony. He swatted Beast Boy away, who landed and turned into a T-Rex. Now blind in one eye, Nightcrawler teleported away before Beast Boy could chomp him, and appeared on his head punching it rapidly. The metahuman shook him off before turning into a cheetah and dashing at Nightcrawler, claw out-since on of his hands were gone. Nightcrawler grabbed his fencing blade and looked at Beast Boy dash at him. At the last second, he teleported above him and stabbed downward, impaling the cheetah in the head and down through the skull. He fell limp, returning to normal as Nightcrawler held hid bleeding eye, looking at his foe.

"Auf Wiedersehen" He said before vanishing

K.O!


The Teen Titans rush outside, only to see Beast Boy's corpse. Nightcrawler, meanwhile, was back in their base and swipes a few documents before vanishing

(Red) Does this count as animal cruelty?

(Geo) While Beast Boy was certainly the stronger of the two physically, Nightcrawler had him outclassed in every other catagory.

(Ender) Both of them were skilled martial artists, and both were certainly unpredictable. However, Nightcrawler was ALSO a skilled sword fighter, fencer, a master of pressure points and even some fire arms. Meaning, his experience on the battlefield was far superior

(Red) He was also MUCH faster. So, the fastest animal Beast Boy could turn into was the Peregrine Falcon, which had a diving speed of 241 mph. But Nightcrawler's teleportation was fast enough to dodge Cyclops' Optic Blasts, which have been said to move near the speed of light! While Beast Boy's super senses could let him sniff out where he would be, that doesn't mean he would be fast enough to capitalize on it.

(Geo) Not that Beast Boy could really KILL him anyway, considering Nightcrawler has taken a blow from Mjolnir and lived.

(Ender) Also, Beast Boy cannot transform into mutants, so its not like he could just turn himself into ANOTHER Nightcrawler. All his shapeshifting could do was delay the inevitable

(Red) Beast Boy was the stronger of the two, but Nightcrawler's speed, durability, and battle experience was too much for Beast Boy to...Handle

(Ender) The winner is Nightcrawler
