Mike, Lu & Og VS Strategy Guide

Yup, this is a thing we’re doing. One of my friends suggested that I should do a VS Strat Guide on the Collective Cartoon Network. Now Obviously I’m not quite THAT Crazy, but I am crazy enough to agree to eventually do one for Every Official Cartoon Network Show, and today we are diving headfirst into the Weakest of the Original Cartoon Cartoons, Mike, Lu & Og. Hope you enjoy learning how to be OP in it.

Town Tier:

Here we have the first and only tier in the series, where every character falls into. Characters in this tier are casually Town Level, due to scaling to Og’s multiple feats of tanking point blank mushroom cloud explosions large enough to eclipse the islands volcano in size, as well as Massively Hypersonic from Mike being able to not only dodge, but straight up outrun a bolt of lightning from the sky.

This series takes place entirely on the Island of Albonquitine, a Carribean (I think) Island-Nation owned by a small group of people, descendant from British people that shipwrecked here 6 generations ago, also Mike, an orphaned New Yorker girl who somehow is here on a foreign exchange program. This island is somehow full of animals from every continent on Earth, as well as giant insects, a bunch of super intelligent talking animals and undiscovered species and plants, so pretty much any ability in the animal kingdom is present and a threat here. And that’s not to say the characters themselves don’t have good abilities. Mike is an extremely athletic and acrobatic girl, who has anti-logia and awareness of the 4th wall, The Pirate Captain has super senses enough to smell things from great distances away, which is precise enough to walk around and detect everything normally despite having 2 eyepatches, and Alfred has multiple times regenerated from being flattened like a pancake. On top of that all the characters have really good stamina, once all being able to stay awake partying for 8 straight days.

There are 2 characters in this verse that stand out as especially serious threats, those being Og and Queeks. Og of which is a total supergenius, I’m talking he once made a spotlight that collides matter and antimatter, producing a light so strong “if you pointed it at the dark side of the moon, there would be no more dark side.” Og’s genius is so efficient he once built a massive damn, nuclear power plant, several other power plants, a huge amount of windmills and covered the entire island in lights all in a short timeframe, and that’s in addition to the time he made an army of killer robots in a short time frame BY ACCIDENT. He can genetically alter plants, make night vision goggles, manipulate creatures' intelligence, and created a device that swaps the minds of those who look at it with a chicken.

Queeks is also really smart, but rather than science he uses witchcraft. Queeks’ power allows him to control the weather enough to summon giant thunderstorms in an instant or cause a volcanic eruption. He also additionally has several useful powers like teleportation, precognition, hypnosis, cursing people to suffer extreme bad luck, and even summoning a group of ghosts who possess invisibility and intangibility.

So what are some effective strategies against this verse? Well there are a few things to note, first off let's talk about Intelligence, While this tier has numerous really intelligent characters, basically all of them are naive, partly due to being isolated from the rest of the world so long, making them fairly easy to manipulate, a decent manipulator build would be really good for making grounds here. Past that there are a few specific weaknesses, one of which being that the island is extremely healthy, no one had gotten sick in 3 centuries and this had left them so vulnerable to biological attacks that Mike’s cold practically caused a plague. Characters in this tier are not particularly skilled in combat nor are they good at hitting from any notable range without aid from Tech or Magic. And finally while they are easily the most dangerous characters, Og and Queeks are not without their faults, Og’s being that he doesn’t carry much tech with him, meaning he needs a small window of prep to build stuff, while Queeks’ spell require him to perform specific hand motions and incantations, which naturally warn a foe something is coming.

So what characters would be good here?

Swarm:

Well I for one think Swarm from Marvel Comics would be pretty dang tough here. Swarm Scaled to the likes of Spider-Man in stats, granting him the same Town Level, Massively Hypersonic stats as the characters here. Swarm is a logia being made up of an entire swarm of bees, as such he is able to fly out of the effective range of almost anything they can do, as well as allow basically any attack to pass through him harmlessly via logia. Swarm has incredible regeneration, able to come back so long as one bee remains, so even with Queeks’ probability Manipulation it is extremely unlikely that he’d be able to kill all the bees just by law of averages. Additionally because insects on the island are also giant there wouldn’t be a comparable force of foes to fight him, but it’s actually worse than that, as Swarm can control insects, so not only would he be attacking everything with his own bees, but having an army of giant Kaiju insects backing him up.

Not that he really needs it though as his own Bees are incredibly poisonous, enough to threaten comparable metahumans in Marvel, and things like poison and disease are especially effective in this verse.

That being said he wouldn’t be perfect, if Swarm didn’t defeat Queeks before he summoned a ghost army there would be little he could do against them. Also if he doesn’t stop Og quickly it’s possible he could create some sort of anti Bee weapon. While Swarm should be clever enough to pull this off, for someone who can be more direct,

Spinal:

Spinal from Killer Instinct would be extremely powerful in this tier, scaling to the Town-City level MHS feats of early Tusk, he would be on par if not slightly higher with the characters here. As an undead zombie pirate, Spinal is extremely difficult to put down physically, likely able to just tank anything the verse throws at him relatively fine with his super survivability. Spinal has many of the powers that make Queeks powerful like teleportation, lightning manipulation and summoning spirits to fight for him. Queeks’ ghosts were unable to be stopped by any of the characters so Spinal being able to do the same thing is really good here, plus teleportation means he could quickly move around the island and take out all the characters rapidly to stop long term strategies. Spinal has a significant edge in both range and skill so a direct fight against Spinal would not be well advised for any of them, especially since his sword can hit on the physical AND astral plane, which would effectively let him one shot all the characters and even the ghosts. Spinal is basically the perfect pirate to ransack this place. That being said Spinal is pretty crazy, it's possible he could be outwitted here, to go even spookier.

Haunter:

You could always use Haunter from the Pokemon series. Haunter is a 2nd stage Ghost Type Pokemon, and as such should scale to large town/low city level feats of weaker 2nd stage pokemon like Piplup or Slowpoke, as well as be MHS from dodging electrical attacks. Haunter as a ghost is naturally an intangible entity similar to the Albonquitine spirits, which is already a bad sign for the characters here as that means only those spirits could actually hurt him. Haunter would also be able to take out the other ghosts via soul manipulation naturally. Haunter has numerous other ghostly abilities, like using invisibility to stealth his way across the island and possess someone, like Og or Queeks and use their abilities as his own. He can also teleport, fly and attack using already established broken things like poison, essentially making him a defensive pick with a lot of good attack options. It is possible he would be defeated if the ghosts are summoned and gang up on him immediately, unlikely as it may be, a good idea would be to stop the likes of Queeks and Og from using their powers. For that...

Tarrlok:

Tarrlok from the Avatar series. Tarrlok as a master level waterbender and member of a police task force should scale to the feats of base form Aang who with his own earth bending was able to carve out a giant canyon in the kiloton range, create a tsunami and rearrange clouds, as well as his numerous feats of dodging and timing lightning from the sky, putting him on similar stat standing. Tarrlok is a total master martial artist and super clever manipulator which would really put the other characters at a disadvantage against him already but throwing in that this show takes place on an Island surrounded by water and yeah he would be able to use his abilities totally uninhibited for ranged attacks and drownings. But best of all is Tarrlok is a master of Psychic Bloodbending, which lets him bloodbend people with his mind even if it's not a full moon. With their bodies under his control, they pretty much cannot use any of their abilities and it would be over. That being said thanks to their regeneration it may take him a bit to win, but i Do have one final counter.

Pie:

Pie from the Tokyo Mew Mew series would be monstrously Op here, making him a clear choice for my ultimate counter. Pie is powerful enough to battle town busting characters like the Mew Mews, as well as blitz Tart who could fly into orbit at speeds exceeding Mach 2000, so he would have similar stats with a slight speed edge. In fact coupling that speed edge with how he is an incredibly skilled fighter and he could likely battle numerous characters in this tier at once without any difficulty already, but let’s get into what he can do.

Pie is a supergenius, comparable to Og actually, only much more manipulative and strategic on top of it. Pie also has numerous abilities that make Queeks so dangerous such as teleportation, and summoning lightning effectively making him similar to a fusion to the two strongest characters in this tier, but we are still just getting started.

Pie has spiritual hax, able to steal the life forces of beings for himself, this would be an instant one shot hax against anyone in the tier Including the ghosts. And even if that doesn’t do it, Pie’s dimensional manipulation would just allow him to BFR people to another plane of existence where they have no chance of escape, as well as allow him to just attack the verse while he's IN another dimension and not putting himself at risk, as he has the PERFECT ability to use here, the ability to create Chimera Anima.

Pie can unleash spores that infect any animal and mutate them into being monstrous kaiju under his command called Chimera Anima and as this place has not only every freaking animal known to man, ….but also ones with super stats and intelligence, these would almost certainly be the most Powerful and Varied Chimera Anima ever seen. All Pie would need to do is show up and use what was once an advantage MONSTROUSLY against it by turning the whole island into Chimera Anima and leave as it destroys itself. And just to add insult to injury, Chimera Anima have a habit for producing extremely deadly poisons and illnesses so ummmm, yeah Pie basically insta-wins like a boss.
