Challenge Reddit users of r/whowouldwin vs A Demon Who Challenges Them

19 Upvotes

A powerful demon appears in the subreddit and issues a challenge:

For the next 24 hours, every single user of r/whowouldwin must make posts and comments without mentioning any of the following:

  • Mike Tyson
  • Batman (with prep time or without prep time)
  • Captain America
  • A Silverback gorilla

If even one person on the entire subreddit mentions any of these characters (or clear variations like “Mike”, “Bats”, “Cap”, “gorilla”, etc.) in a fight thread during those 24 hours, the demon kills every single member of the subreddit.

Can the subreddit survive the day?

Bonus conditions / clarification:

  • Mentions in titles, body text, or comments all count.
  • Trying to sneak it in with typos (“Mike Tysen”, “Bat-man”, “Silver back”) still counts.
  • The demon has perfect knowledge of intent.
  • If the sub goes completely silent for 24 hours to avoid the risk, the demon also kills everyone for being cowards.

Who wins?

Battle Titanoboa vs knight in plate armour

22 Upvotes

A knight in plate armour is hunting alone in the woods, when he discovers a mysterious cave from whence an extant titanoboa emerges from an undiscovered and sheltered ecosystem, unchanged from the titanoboa of the late paleocene.

The titanoboa is large and hungry and decides to attack. The knight decides this would make a legendary trophy, and brazenly attacks. Who wins?

In all rounds the knight has a backup dagger*

Round 1: The knight is armed with a hunting bow

Round 2: The knight is armed with an arming sword and shield

Round 3: The knight is armed with a boar spear

Round 4: The knight is mounted and armed with a lance and backup sword

Can an armoured and armed man defeat a 1500kg monster from the distant past?

Challenge Darth Vader vs Magneto, no prep, abandoned Imperial Star Destroyer

3 Upvotes

Both start at opposite ends of the ship with basic knowledge of each other. Vader has his lightsaber and the Force. Magneto has his powers and whatever metal is on the ship, which is a lot. Win by death or incapacitation. I think Magneto takes it but Vader's telekinesis might counter the metal control in ways people overlook.

Battle The Gatewatch (MTG) vs The Technocratic Union (WoD)

• Upvotes

The idea is which set of wizards is stronger in magical prowess. So the scenario is members of the Gatewatch (assume none have lost their sparks) arrive in the world of darkness in the early 2000s.

The Technocracy attempt to wipe out these foreign wizards who don’t operate the same way.

I don’t know if either side will end up much stronger as I am not very familiar with the World of Darkness, so this easily could be a stomp. If the technocracy is losing assume they escalate to their highest responses, potentially including an alliance of super natural groups such as what happened during the week of nightmares.

Round 1: Gatewatch with its original members

Round 2: Gatewatch with all members at Eldritch moon.

Round 3: Gatewatch at the end of War of the Spark

Round 4: Gatewatch at the attack on New Phyrexia

Round 5: Gatewatch during reality fracture (or at least those fighting Jace)

Bonus round: replace the Gatewatch with Urza and the 9 titans.

Challenge The 9 mercenaries of tf2 with their stock loadouts replace gordon freeman in the train at the beginning of half-life 2 can they bring down the combine

21 Upvotes

Round 1: Things go off the rail and we do not follow the plot of HL2 exactly given that noone including the resistance is going to have any clue who the mercs are and 9 heavily armed dudes exiting a train is probably gonna cause civil protection to start shooting.

Round 2: Every resistance member and citizens perceives the engineer as gordon freeman and the other 8 are invisible to them, the combine however perceive them correctly leading to a scenario that roughly follows the plot of HL2

Fist fight to surrender or incapacitation. Takes place in a boxing ring. Both are 'incharacter' as the real people, they want to win the fight but will avoid killing or maiming the other. Otherwise no rules. Let's sat it's a billion dollar charity pay per view fight or whatever.

Bonus Round: Both comedians engage in pre fight trash talk, who talks better smack?

Battle Every human on Earth is forced into a 1v1 single-elimination tournament. Who is the last person standing?

0 Upvotes

Imagine every single person on Earth being forced into a massive 1v1 single-elimination tournament. Matchups are completely random, no weapons allowed, just hand-to-hand combat. Everyone is fully healed and rested after each fight, so injuries and fatigue don't carry over.

It would take around 33 rounds to crown the winner.

Who do you think would actually win this? An Spy? An NBA Player? A WWE Fighter? Olympic wrestler, a powerlifter, or just some ridiculously huge guy?

And who would be the first people to get eliminated? Would we see most of the elderly and children gone within the first few rounds? How far could the average person realistically make it?

I also wonder if there's someone out there who's practically guaranteed to win, or if the randomness of the matchups makes it impossible to predict

Who would you put your money on?

Challenge A demonic entity has possessed Batman. Can he solo Gotham?

5 Upvotes

A demon possesses Bruce and is running at 100% efficiency and killed the entire bat family. But before he was killed, Alfred blew up the god tier stuff Batman has and leaked that Batman is Bruce Wayne. Can Gotham stop him?

Rules:

  • The combatants are: New Earth Batman vs New Earth Gotham Police and the following Gotham villains and mafias (The Riddler, Black Mask mafia, Joker's gang, Scarecrow's goons, The Penguin's gang, Falcone mafia, the Maroni mafia, Two-Face's gang. Killer Croc, Deadshot, Clayface and Bane are roaming around); if they aren't in the list, let's say Batman killed them already.
  • The demon posessing Batman has zero morality and is operating at 100% efficiency. Aka he knows absolutely everything Bruce does and can do everything Bruce does 100% flawlessly. He can tire and needs to eat, drink or sleep.
  • The mafias, villains and Gotham police know that Batman is gone, they have to kill him.
  • It happens at 3:00 AM.

Round 1: Everyone is in-character.

Round 2: Every single Gotham cop, civilian and villain is bloodlusted and wants Batman gone yesterday, they have 100% coordination.

Round 3: Same as round 2 but Amanda Waller and A.R.G.U.S have joined the party.
