Batman Vs Mr. Fantastic

Jeremy here, with our next Fabled Fight. Today, February 22,  is when the Girl Scouts celebrate "World Thinking Day". To honor our favorite thin mint cookie-givers, we're having a clash between two intellectual entities: Batman, defender of Gotham Vs Mr. Fantastic, leader of the Fantastic Four. Anyway, time for our brief analysis of each fighter and then the verdict!


Batman (Bruce Wayne):
--- Exceptional martial artist
--- Suit provides armor and gliding
--- Wide variety of gadgets
--- Once utilized a pair of tweezers called the Bat-Tweezers to fight crime. Not even kidding.

--- Likely the smartest character created by Dc Comics
--- Experienced detective


                                                                                 
Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards):

--- Capable of bending and stretching body to extreme proportions
--- Once used a move called Drastic Elastic. You're a dork, Reed.
--- Genius intellect, especially with regard to physics

--- Capable of gliding
--- His molecules are reinforced, helping him absorb impact
--- Pretty much everyone's got the hots for his wife
                                                                                              

Verdict:

Batman wins. It's close, but I imagine Batman has technology capable of bringing Richards down. Electricity, explosives, chemicals, and blades, all of which Batman carries, would disable Richards before he defeats Bruce. Additionally, while, both combatants are smart, Batman could probably out-think Richards in combat. Wayne seems like more of a tactical genius whereas Richard's mind appears most helpful inside a lab. Our winner is Batman. Thanks for reading!

My final thoughts: I was going to do a battle between the smartest female characters of Dc and Marvel, but after some research, I realized there aren't really that many known for their minds, so I thought this battle would be more interesting. Batgirl from DC is pretty smart, but few Marvel girls are known for their intelligence above all else. It'd be awesome to see more female heros who utilize their brains as much as their powers.

Today in the life of a Jeremy: I'm having pizza today! Ever tried Little Caesar's? I think it tastes pretty good, especially for its low five-dollar price.
