Talk:Darth Vader VS Doctor Doom/@comment-4450205-20150626053010

What do people think the outcome of this battle is and why?

I personally believe Vader is victorious, but it is REALLY close. Vader's armor can take all of Doom's typical blasts (besides the obvious lighting), being nearly impervious to explosive and concussive forces, to the level of tanking grenades to his chest, even his "fragile" electronics tanked the hit. Attacks that bypass his armor would just be shrugged off, as Vader just continues his assault on the God-Emporer. Vader's usage of Dun Moch would be able to inflict some form of reluctance into Doom. How? Vader stealthily probes out Doom's ugly ass face and his massive ego, then smack talks a little about it and boom, doubt inflicted. Also, Vader manipulates the Force, an omnipresent life source that can be commanded at the time. Unless Doom can somehow intercept these commands, he will be manipulated by Vader. This leads to Force Choke or Crush to kill Doom and bypass his armor, and he can call upon Tutiminis, an energy-absorbing technique. However, Vader cannot absorb energy as concentrated as lightning, and might be useless here. The Force also leads to such tools as Force Sense and Agility, allowing Vader to always react to Doom. Finally, Vader's lightsaber may not be able to immediately pierce Doom's armor, but it will be his most valuable defense, as it is the only tool he has to absorb Doom's lightning. Vader is also a tactician who normally would do all of this anyways, so he is set to win.

However, Doom has options. His aforementioned lightning is an instakill in a stream, and he can use it to interrupt Vader when he's trapped in a force grip. He can also teleport, controlling his location on the battlefield and again, escape Vader's force abilities. His magic and heat-resistant armor would probably withstand the plasma-sword known as a lightsaber, for a time. The effectiveness of Dun Moch is questionable against someone as prideful as Doom, and he may be able to resist it. He is faster, stronger, and tougher than Vader, allowing him to push the Sith Lord around as much as he likes. Though Vader is practically impervious to Doom's blasts, enough of them will damage something, and will eventually harm and even kill him.

In summary, can Doom win? Yes! Will he? Probably not.
