Death Battle Analysis: Beowulf

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time... It’s Time... IT”S BEOWULF TIME!!! 

That’s Right We are Finally Back to Skullgirls after a long hiatus, covering one of the most beloved characters in the franchise, it’s Wulfamania up in here as the Wulf himself graces my blogs with his presence! It’s High Time we broke down the Awesomeness that Is the one, The Only, Beowulf!

Background: 

During the early days of the Grand War between the Canopy Kingdom and the surrounding nations, Beowulf was the world champion wrestler of the New Meridian Onslaught, or NMO Wrestling division. In the middle of this war, The Canopy Kingdom and the Gigan Nation agreed to have an Exhibition match.

Beowulf, the Canopy Kingdom’s champion, would battle it out against the strongest warrior of the Gigan Nation, Grendel, in a no holds barred, anything goes, battle for the ages. While it sounded cool on paper, the battle was actually extremely one sided, With Grendel being about 30 feet tall and beyond human in every regard.

But to the shock of everyone watching, Beowulf against all odds managed to Defeat Grendel, tearing his left arm off, and killing him with a piledriver into the ground. Enraged by this, Grendel’s mother lashed out and attacked Beowulf to get revenge, but she too was no match for his might. 

That day history was made, not just for the NMO, but for the kingdom as a whole. Beowulf became a national icon, a hero and inspiration to the people of the Canopy Kingdom, known for his Wulfpack of fans and having actionfigures no one could live without.

But after the war, his fame petered out. Beowulf’s fame led to him taking up commercial deals that after his loss in popularity as war propaganda, ended up going nowhere, his last appearance in media being as the villain on the popular magical girl series, Annie: The Girl of the Stars, before he retired completely.

Hating inactivity and being forgotten, Beowulf was unsatisfied with his retired lifestyle, and dreamed of getting back into the ring to reclaim his former glory and beloved hobby of wrestling.

One day, Grendel’s Arm, which Beowulf had mounted on his wall as a trophy, suddenly came to life and attacked him. A New Skullgirl had risen in New Meridian and was on the attack. 

This inspired Beowulf to finally come outta retirement, to take down the Skullgirl and become the nation's Hero Again!

So Beowulf called up his sleazy old agent Zane, who got him back into the ring and had him go out and ‘protect the people from all the freaks that come outta the woodwork when the Skullgirl arrives’ saying that they would capture all the fights on camera’s.

Except, Zane was actually having Beowulf beat up ASG Agents and other warriors that would stop the Skullgirl, and clearly wasn’t filming any of it.

Eventually it led to some bizarre mirror match where he had to fight another Beowulf, who in-front of all his fans, Revealed a truth that even Beowulf didn’t know, his fight with Grendel was Rigged. It was the first and only joint effort between the Royal Family and the Medici Mob, Drugging Grendel before the fight. How else could Grendel’s elderly mother put up more of a fight than a warrior in his prime? But Beowulf refused to fall into shame because of this, he swore that day to fix this and make it up to everyone, even Grendel.

Beowulf marched right back to Zane to tell him off and that….Didn’t quite work out.

Zane was actually Double, a Shapeshifting Monster who works for the Skull Heart, who had used Beowulf to defeat and capture those who wish to do it harm. She sought to destroy Beowulf too, but he managed to hold her off until they could be rescued by Annie.

Now being aware of his mistakes, Beowulf finally decided to fight the Skullgirl and make amends for his mistakes even if it cost him his life. But the Skullgirl would not be his biggest challenge.

Marie used her powers to fully resurrect Grendel from the dead at his prime from his arm. Literally forcing the demons of Beowulf’s past back to bite him.

Beowulf and Grendel squared off as equals, ready to settle this for real the way all warriors do.

With the determination of an Epic Hero, Beowulf managed to repeat the very attack from the battle he was so famous for, totally legit this time, cementing him again as the hero he was always meant to be, and saving the world from the Skullgirl.

And as a fitting reward, Beowulf was brought back onto Annie: The Girl of the Stars, only this time, he got to play a hero again like he always wanted.

Personality:

Beowulf is an excitable, hot-blooded, and extremely genuine person who wears his heart on his sleeve. He craves action, excitement and being a hero that everyone of his fans can look up too. He loves his work, has a heart of gold, and always tries his hardest to keep his promises and do right by everyone. 

He’s a little bumbling, brash and sometimes reckless, but he legitimately cares a great deal for his fans, a good person who is quick to forgive. He likes Hunting, working, sweaters, tour buses, boots, ladders, fluorescent light tubes, contracts that guarantee money, microbrews, merchandise, chamomile tea and the sound of an excited crowd. His dislikes include Professional writing staffs, refined sugar, Allen keys, snakes, disqualifications, taking vacation time, spray on tans, indoor voices, being told what to do, being told what to wear and potatoes.

Intellect/Skill:

As far as raw intelligence goes, Beowulf is commonly described as being kinda an idiot. While he’s not dumb per-say, he is known to be a bit of a meathead who makes quick and brash decisions without thinking them through. He’s been shown to be quite gullible and easy to manipulate, both by Double and the organizers of his Grendel fight alike. He often overestimates his abilities and gets in way over his head. That said, he does always learn from his mistakes and comes back stronger from them.

Skill wise on the other hand, Beowulf is off the charts and very arguably the most skilled fighter in the entire Skullgirls series somehow. He uses a Rushdown-Grappler Combo fighting style, striking foes repeatedly with punches, kicks, knees and headbutts, and pulling in close for powerful grabs, throws and deadly piledrivers. Beowulf is the World Heavyweight Champion in the NMO division, with an undefeated record. A very interesting thing about this is that in the NMO, Beowulf is classified as a Cruiserweight Wrestler, the 2nd lightest weight class in professional wrestling. Beowulf stands 6’7 and weighs 287 pounds, in real life, that would easily classify him as a Super Heavyweight Wrestler, the 2nd heaviest weight class. The reason he's stuck in cruiser is because the NMO allows in giant races of other species to compete which massively eclipse Beowulf in size, but still, none of them could beat him.

But let's talk about Gigans, Gigans are the largest species in the Skullgirls world, a race of giant humanoid monsters more than double the size of an elephant. They are considered the most powerful creatures on the planet excluding the Skullgirl herself.

Even the genius Valentine, who fought in the Grand War and had a great deal of experience fighting Gigans, believed it absolutely impossible for any human (Beowulf included) to beat one one on one, and she said this to Beowulf immediately after he kicked her butt in a fight. Yet in Beowulf’s fair, even rematch with the world champion Gigan fighter Grendel, he was able to defeat him all over again through his own impressive combat skill. To give a bit of Skill Tiering, Parasoul, the elite warrior princess who trains black ops soldiers and mastered numerous different types of weapons combat styles, was only barely able to subdue a Gigan-Human Halfbreed lady, Beowulf fought likely the strongest Gigan in the world and killed him.

Powers:

• Wulf Blitzer:

One of Beowulf’s most signature martial arts techniques, probably learned at the same school that Jon Talbain went to, is the Wulf Blitzer. With this ability, Beowulf is able to straight up fly through the air for notable distances in any direction, and can use it up to 3 times in rapid succession. The ability also surrounds his body in a damaging aura that allows him to slam into opponents like a meteorite.

• Hype:

Like all Pro Wrestlers, Beowulf draws power from the pure Hype of the spectators watching his battles. By using his signature taunts or epic howl, he can rally up the crowd, and gain a temporary boost in speed, finesse and stamina to perform significantly more elaborate and damaging combo attacks. After Gathering enough Hype he can use the move Wulfamania, which stuns the opponent and allows him to absolutely whale on them for several seconds.

• Hammerspace:

Beowulf seems to store a large amount of gear he uses in combat in some unseen pocket dimension he can pull objects from. This includes a large metal garbage can, an unlimited supply of microphones to drop, jugs of milk, his wrestling championship belt which he can use as a shield, and Grendel’s Arm, which is significantly larger than his whole body.

• Energy Manipulation:

Beowulf also seems to be able to manipulate some form of orange energy that can be used to damage foes with heavier attacks, form energy constructs, and make some pretty cool effects on the screen to add a layer of flare to his wrestling style.

• Metafictional Manipulation:

Beowulf’s most dangerous power however, is his Metafictional Manipulation. Beowulf is able to physically grab and touch the Absolute Plane, which is where you can touch things that are more REAL than you, and supersedes all other layers of existence, including concepts. This basically means Beowulf can physically touch and harm characters, regardless of if they are intangible, a disembodied consciousness, a conceptual entity, or a cartoon character. Although Beowulf’s most common use of this ability is to rip metafictional holes into the background of environments, effectively creating a portal he can travel through. This would allow him to teleport literally anywhere in his series, and potentially BFR characters into the metafictional realm.

Weapons:

• The Hurting:

Beowulf’s primary weapon is an absolute staple of Professional Wrestling, a shiny metal folding chair, which Beowulf affectionately named ‘The Hurting’. Beowulf is incredibly skilled at using this chair as a weapon, able to beat people senseless with it in numerous awesome melee attacks, shield himself from strikes, and even kick or throw it across the screen as a highly damaging ranged attack.

When not in use, Beowulf will store the chair on his back using a special powerful magnet that is attached to the back of his Belt.

And Thanks to a recent Buff, Beowulf is now able to remotely summon The Hurting back to himself after it’s thrown, most likely by using this magnet. Which means now he can effectively throw a giant folding chair like a boomerang.

• Grendal’s Arm:

Beowulf’s other primary weapon is Grendel’s severed arm, which he took as a trophy from his fallen foe, this titanic arm is 120 inches (3.05 Meters) long, allowing Beowulf to pull it out from nowhere for wide sweeping hits that cover almost the whole screen.

When the Skullgirl awoke, her control over the dead Animated Grendel’s Arm back to life, symbolically making his old foe into his partner in combat.

With the arm alive again, it is now able to both move around like a regular arm of its own will and hit with the full awesome power of a mighty Gigan warrior. Beowulf move ‘Gigantic Arm’ where he lets the arm directly punch the opponent, is the most damaging single strike in his moveset.

• Tuscan Milk:

Beowulf also carries gallons of Tuscan Milk which he can somehow chug the entirety of in less than a single second. This seems to give him a short boost in power and energy manipulation abilities.

Feats:

DC/Durability:

• So one thing to quickly point out is Beowulf’s physical lifting strength. It is one of the highest of any of the verse! Beowulf fought against Grendel whose arm is 120 inches long. This is 5 times the length of the average man’s arm, which means Grendel himself would proportionally be 5 times as tall, 5 times as wide, and 5 times as thick as the average man, making him overall 125 times the size of a person. The Average weight for 125 men would be over 25,000 pounds (11340 kg), and Grendel, as a professional athlete of his kind, likely weighs well in excess of this. Yet Beowulf was able to lift him over his head, hold him upside down behind his back and jump high into the air with this to kill him.

• Backing this up, another character on the Skullgirls roster, Big Band, weighs 5000 pounds. Yet by game mechanics, Beowulf is able to casually lift him off the ground with one arm, and jump 8 feet backwards into the air and do a backflip while still holding him.

• Striking Strength however is a much more impressive story, Beowulf was able to battle and defeat the Skullgirl in his timeline, and furthermore he directly defeated Valentine, who canonically dealt damage to the Skullgirl in the prequel mobile story mode, which is canon to all the timelines. This Skullgirl is named Marie, and She once ripped the top half of Medici Tower off its structure and hurled it into the bay. Medici Tower is easily the largest building in New Meridian, 

which includes the The River King Casino, a building that despite reaching past the clouds, isn’t even visible on the city's skyline. In real life the shortest building that can potentially reach the clouds is the Q1 building in Australia, which is 1,058 feet tall, there are less than 100 buildings in real life that can top this, the tallest building in the world being under 3 times this. But Medici Tower is so much larger than the Casino that you cannot even see the latter in a picture of the former. Making it significantly larger than any real life building in the world. Speaking of New Meridian by the way, It's Big, like Enormous even. New Meridian is the largest city in the Canopy Kingdom, to the point where even the Official Canon Info Thread refers to it as a ‘Megacity’, it is stated that New Meridian is actually an entire former country that was known as the Meridian Empire, that was since conquered and annexed by the Canopy Kingdom. Since The Medici Tower rests at the center of this country-city, and Marie threw it all the way into the bay, traveling over the entire district of Little Innsmouth along the way, we can estimate the kinetic energy of this to be over 8 Megatons of TNT.

• Is able to cause violent earthquakes in the surrounding area just with the shockwaves of his physical blows.

Speed:

• Beowulf was fast enough to grab onto Annie of the Stars as she flew by him while rescuing all the captured characters from Doubles Gehenna Dimension.

Gehenna is a large dimension that contains the former capital city of an advanced Ancient Kingdom that Eliza hails from.

Yet Annie was able to fly through it and rescue everyone in only a couple seconds.

• Beowulf was also able to battle and defeat both Valentine and Painwheel in one on one combat, Valentine of which is able to effortlessly dodge point blank machine gun fire.

Painwheel on the other hand is able to jump up into the air and perform 5 different wide sweeping attacks before she begins to fall again, which would require speeds exceeding mach 11.

General:

• Has a fantastic Win-Loss record, having Defeated Cerebella, Painwheel, Big Band, Valentine and Double, while only ever Losing against Annie.

• In his Fight with Double, he defeated her inside of her own Gehenna Dimension, where literally the environment itself is made up of her.

• Defeated Double as an evil copy of himself.

• Became a Hero Again.

Summary: 

Advantages:

• City Level DC/Durability.

• Hypersonic Speed.

• Extremely High Fighting Skill.

• Flight.

• Energy Aura and Manipulation.

• Pocket Dimension.

• Sentient Weaponry.

• Gains Power from Hype.

• Metafictional Attacks and Manipulation.

• Metafictional Portal Creation.

• The Chair!

Disadvantages:

• Gullible.

• Brash.

• Lacks good ranged attacks.

• Extremely un-stealthy.

• Gets a lot of noise complaints.

Recommended Opponent:

Denmark:

I think a pretty good matchup for Beowulf is Denmark from the Hetalia series. They two are obviously very good on thematics with both being charismatic viking warriors known for their strength and power. Both characters are normally really hard to fight due to Beowulf’s metafictional attacks, and Denmark being a conceptual entity, but that actually works out really well because it means they have picture perfect ways to harm each other and it ends up being a very close fight as a result.

Dexter's Laboratory VS Strategy Guide

 

I said I was going to cover all Cartoon Network series, so it’s only natural to counter the first one ever, Dexter’s Laboratory! I love this series, and while I have covered it multiple times in the past, it’s been quite a while, and the verse still has plenty more to look at. So let’s get to it, here’s how to be OP in Dexter’s Lab!

Planet Tier:

Here we have the vast majority of characters, including the titular Dexter, his sister Dee Dee, and the various villains that they face. Dexter has been able to, multiple times, tank point blank explosions that violently shook the Earth, physically plug a Black Hole the size of a truck, and Dee Dee was able to effortlessly tank two planet sized meteorites smashing into each other at relativistic speed, which even by surface area is clearly planet level. In Speed, Dee Dee was able to move significantly faster than a laser to deflect it off glass, which proceeded to fly into deep space in a second, making it Super obvious faster than light movement speed, that said, characters should have massively faster than light reaction speed from being able to pilot interstellar ships and mecha. So this will be the limit for characters. Unsurprisingly, this verse excels at the Secondary Stat of Intelligence, having millions and millions of Genius level characters, to the point that the entire population of Japan is able to build their own futuristic giant mech suits. The Smartest character in the verse is Dexter, who is capable of perfectly controlling and utilizing all of the energy in the entire Universe, bending reality to his whim, and brought mankind from literal primitives to a Perfect Utopia, which puts him at a Level 5 Intellect, and very arguably the most intelligent cartoon character ever. Trying to outsmart the characters at this tier is probably the worst strategy you can go for as a result, there are so few characters that could, and even if you find one it is extremely inefficient. This however isn’t to say they are slouches in the other stats, in fact, Dexter characters have really solid secondary stats all around, and notably have really good skill, with Dexter being skilled enough to single handedly defeat the entire US Navy, in his underwear, with just a small spray bottle, and many characters have matched skill with him.

Moving onto powers, this series has its fair deal of Aliens, including parasitic slime creatures that can multiply and control people's minds, the Organ Grinder who can hypnotically control monkeys and primates, a giant, flying, shape shifting, lizard alien who can quickly power-drain planets with his tongue, and worst of all, Hookocho an anime villain who exists on the mental plane, and has godly energy manipulation and electricity powers that can affect a whole imaginary planet! But speaking of higher plane entities, Dexter has a fair deal of those, ranging from Ghosts which are intangible, and can drag people into pocket dimensions, Disembodied AI like Master Computer, who can possess and corrupt technology and digitize beings into it where he’s a god, and imaginary mental plane creatures like Koosie. As a Koosalagoopagoop he can change his size to anything, teleport, fly, store stuff in a pocket dimension, and can make portals to and from the realm of imagination, and even use this to travel to other verses, as he is friends with Bubbles from PPG. There’s also the Extra-Dimensional Horror, a powerful logia monster, which exists in the 4th dimension so is intangible to 3 dimensional attacks, but can still hit us. But don’t think that the humans in Dexter don’t pack some crazy powers. You have superhuman fighters like Agent Honeydew who has telepathic communication, black ops fighters with manly beard powers, photographers who can seal you in photos, moms who have legit superpowers, and clowns who can turn others into clowns by biting them like a werewolf.

But definitely the most underrated character in the entire series is Dee Dee, who is extremely powerful in her own right. First off Dee Dee has off the chart skill, being a trained ninja, race car driver, and apprenticed under the black ops hero, Action Hank, who was able to beat the shit out of a whole group of Alien Guards that enslaved Dexter, and defeat armies of robots by dancing, without even noticing. She has a great deal of potent imagination powers, like creating imaginary friends, which are super powered entities, invisible and inaudible to those that don’t think they exist. She also created an entire planet existing on the mental plane, which she controls and manipulates with her mind, and can make portals to dimensionally travel, or BFR someone to her world. She can also banish imaginary entities via imagining them away, and after training to become a Mime, she attained classic mine powers, able to create invisible tools or objects for her own use, essentially a somewhat limited form of telekinesis, which she can use to make make impenetrable invisible walls and boxes, lassos to trap, snare, grapple or collect things and weapons to attack. Dee Dee is also as smart as Dexter, however rather than Science and Math, Dee Dee excels in History, Fantasy and Mysticism. She is knowledgeable on fairytale creatures, Zodiac stuff, and star dictation, able to summon and banish the shoe gnomes, accurately understand the laws of the universe, and furthermore, reached Spiritual Enlightenment. Attaining this has given Dee Dee numerous additional powers, including Levitation, Teleportation, and Spatial Manipulation. She can Astral Project herself from the spirit world into the land of the living, as well as telepathically talk to people in dreams. She can also communicate with animals and control and summon sealife, at one point straight up murdering this pirate, Wet Willy, by summoning a bunch of sea sponges that dissolved him into bones. Lastly, Dee Dee has some forms of metafictional manipulation, controlling the scene transitions to move herself and Dexter into the kitchen, pulling down an end tidal screen to conclude the show, and Immersion, that lets her enter into a TV and attack foes Through it.

But lastly, We have to talk about Dexter and Mandark, the premier scientific geniuses of the series. Dexter has built an incredibly powerful and varied arsenal of technology over the years, which he always has access to and cannot be disarmed of thanks to his teleportation remotes that let him bring any of it right to his location, and his Teletonic Manifestation Device, which lets him recreate any tech merely by thinking of it. Dexter has a lot of direct abilities through this, Lasers, Force Fields, missiles and numerous ways of bolstering his stats from hundreds to literally Millions of times over. He can Read Minds, Erase Memories, and Hypnotize people, turn invisible and detect hidden entities, and make literally hundreds of clones of himself. Some of Dexter's most hax abilities include his numerous methods of advanced Time Manipulation, Transmutation & Digitization, Potent Size Manipulation, Bringing Inanimate Objects to Life and being able to fight and manipulate astral plane entities. Mandark doesn’t really have any tech that Dexter doesn’t, but he does add a few helpful spells like summoning interdimensional beasts, and regenerating himself from complete cellular destruction.

So what would be some good counterplay options to this tier? The Dexter Verse doesn’t really have any weaknesses in terms of Secondary Stats, and has a wide range of abilities and hax that work on the physical, astral, mental and even somewhat in the absolute plane, so you would need a versatile generalist character to deal with all the threats this can throw at you. Technopathy would of course be a strong ability to deal with the advanced tech that populates this verse, but this verse surprisingly doesn't rely on Technology nearly as much as one would suspect. Some other powers that have shown to be useful in this series include Mind Control, Energy Draining and Duplication. One character I think could work really well here is,

Kokonoe Mercury:

Kokonoe from Blazblue would do pretty well here. Kokonoe is relevant to the Large Planet, FTL feats of Makoto destroying the moon, meaning she can hold her ground here in stats. Kokonoe is a total and complete supergenius who is optimized for effective combat ability. With her Tech, Kokonoe can teleport across space and time, and mess with it however she wants, as it also immunizes her from paradoxes. She has incredible super senses, potent soul and mind manipulation and has the ability to generate a pocket reality around herself where she can manipulate the world around her as if it was made of data. She is an expert strategist and has resistance to basically all the hax in this tier via her various force fields, ya know, like most Blazblue characters. Her only real threat is Dee Dee managing to trap her in dream space or use meta powers. For a more protected counter,

The Sleeper:

The Sleeper from the Behemoth would be a great choice. Like the rest of the Pit People Cast, The Sleeper is capable of intercepting and blocking Hatty’s laser which could travel to Saturn in seconds and destroy it, putting him in the range of Dexter characters. The Sleeper is a Mental Plane entity that often comes down into the physical plane to rest. When he rests, his dreams leak into reality, projecting changes to the entire environment and creating hundreds and hundreds of beings that will passively protect and fight for him, and can develop powers to counter what their enemies can throw at them. The Sleeper is intangible to all non-mental plane beings, and his warriors are able to hit on the physical, astral and mental planes alike, allowing him the ability to attack any entity in verse, he can also fly and teleport himself between Planes and use this to BFR people. The Sleeper is an even more powerful dream manipulator than Dee Dee, so is unlikely to be defeated by other Dream beings, still Dee Dee managing to beat him with that, or her Metafictional powers, is certainly possible, for a complete counter...

Malware:

Yes, Malware, the unstoppable alien monster from Ben 10. Malware is a Galvanic Mechamorph, the same species as Ben’s Alien, Upgrade, only mutated by a glitch in his programming. Unlike adding himself to technology to improve it like a standard Mechamorph, Malware permanently absorbs any tech he comes into contact with and uses it to Upgrade Himself. Malware is strong enough to overpower Ben’s Alien Way Big, who once blocked an Incursion Laser Cannon that would have violently destroyed the Earth. He also has absorbed a Galvan Jetpack that allows him to fly between planets, and easily match the Dexter Characters in raw stats. Malware would be absolutely Devastating in the Dexter Verse, not only does he possess all the abilities of Ben’s Upgrade form, like digitization manipulation, electrokinesis and disabling technology, but can massively improve himself in basically any category with his unique powers. Malware’s body is made up entirely of a Liquid Metal substance that lets him shapeshift, alter his size and shrug off damage. Even after being completely disintegrated on a subcellular level, twice, he can still regenerate back, making him effectively impossible to defeat with raw force alone. Malware would be outright immune to all forms of biological, astral or mental form hax, due to not possessing any cells, soul or mind to attack, and despite that is also Ridiculously intelligent, able to make an upgraded version of the Omnitrix from scratch after only interacting with it briefly, and the Omnitrix is the sole piece of Level 20 Tech in the Ben 10 series. Malware is able to absorb any technology he comes into contact with, and his range is massive, one time literally spreading himself across the entire Moon of Galvan B and infecting every normal member of his species in an instant! This means he could immediately spread himself into Dexter’s Lab and gain control of all his technology, including mind control, soul attacks, transmutation and many many more, to use against the verse. He is capable of absorbing any technology, including stealing the Time Manipulation abilities of the cybernetic Chronosapiens (Meaning he can resist Time Hax), and actually pulling Aliens out of Ben’s watch to destroy them on contact, plus once he absorbs something, it cannot be used against him. While there would certainly still be powers in the verse that pose a threat to Malware, like Metafictional Powers, one piece of Tech he has already absorbed back in Ben 10 is the Tachyon cannon, which disrupts every cell with matching DNA in range in one shot, meaning if fired at a person, it would destroy every person for hundreds of miles past the cellular level, almost certainly taking out characters before they are even aware of his presence. Malware is essentially an unstoppable Monster who would be able to near instantly take in and gain the powers of all Dexter’s technology, and destroy everything so rapidly that even the few hax that can still stop him would never get him in time.

Stellar Tier:

Here we have our second tier, which mostly contains characters from the Dexter‘s Laboratory companion series’, Dial M for Monkey and The Justice Friends, both of which take place in the same universe as the main show. This tier is composed entirely of various different superhero and super villain characters from the series, the most powerful of which being Monkey, who was strong enough to pull every single celestial body in the solar system, including the Sun, out of Barbequor’s throat, as well as being fast enough to fly to the sector seven star system in about three seconds, which would be about 300 billion times the speed of light. Most of the other heroes here are at least somewhat relevant to Monkey, and many villains like Quackor, Rasslor and Badaxtra being equal or outright superior to him. So solar system level, billions of times the speed of light will be the limit.

Characters in this tier sport incredible skill and very high stamina, it is also no slouch in intelligence, as the cosmic super ape, Simion, is smart enough to create matter from sheer thought, and use this to create a super advanced space fleet capable of conquering the Earth. The vast majority of them are able to fly, breathe in outer space with no difficulty and fire a great deal of powerful projectile attacks, from laser eyes, electrical blasts, sonic shockwaves, and damaging beams of magic. There's a fair deal of super senses in this tier, such as Major Glory’s X-Ray Vision, and Magmanamus’ ability to somehow hear all the activity of humans on the surface, from the Earth’s Core. Magmanamus is also a giant Logia Lava monster who controls Fire and Lava. Monkey can surround himself in a damaging energy aura, and has psionic powers like Telekinesis and Telepathy, Krunk can regenerate from being sliced to pieces, and Valhallen can control clothing, and teleport. Rasslor can actually teleport large groups of people at once, and Barbequor has a hypnotic bug zapper that draws foes towards their doom.

So strategies for this tier are far more simple than for the previous tier as the powers themself are more simple. Basically the characters here are generally powerful super beings who are good at all around combat, but can be brought down by a character with high power variety, or one really potent ability. For Example,

Professor Utonium:

I think Professor Utonium would do really well in this tier! The Professor is the genius creator of The Powerpuff Girls, and one of the smartest characters in Cartoon Network behind Dexter, so it seemed like a good time to let him shine. Utonium cannot compete with these characters in stats, as powerpuff civilians only scale to about Town Level, FTL. But that's the thing, no one in this tier would just target a mild mannered Scientist, before he had prep time. Utonium has made numerous mechanical suits that are completely on level with The Powerpuff girls themselves, such as the mecha, Dynamo, or more appropriately, his Powerprof Battle Suit. This would raise his stats to the same level as the characters here, and flat out superior in speed. Even without that, The Professor has invented tons of hax gear over the years that could allow him to totally stop anyone here, such as Time Travel, to go back and alter them getting superpowers, or a device that swaps everyone's bodies to mess with their abilities. The Professor has also time and time again been established to be more intelligent than Mojo Jojo, meaning he could logically invent anything that Mojo has, including Mind Control, Teleportation and Matter Manipulation to counter their powers further. Even without his tech it is still possible he could win a fight here, as humans in PPG have been able to physically beat up PPG level entities before when feeling extreme enough.

That said, he is rather reliant on his intellect to pull a win here, for someone who could stand against them head to head, how about, 

Esmeraude:

MY Fave member of the Black Moon Clan, (With terrible taste in Men), Esmeraude from Sailor Moon. As a member of the Black Moon Clan, Esmeraude scales above the power of arc 1 sailor moon, who was able to destroy a star level shield from Kunzite, putting her at similar strength to any of these heroes. While she is ‘only’ FTL by comparison, she wears earrings made of Black Crystal, which passively warp spacetime and nullify positive energy, preventing her from being blitzed or sniped by a projectile attack. She can also use these to teleport herself and others, and BFR foes to Blackholes or the Edge of Spacetime, allowing her to nullify the advantage of their own teleportation, and seriously mess with their ranks. Esmeraude can fly and fire deadly dark energy attacks, but deadliest of all is her Beast Hand Technique, which turns her arms into stretchy black claws that can drain away the energy of anyone they touch, which is a very broken technique in universe. That said she could still be defeated by numerous characters working together, and would in particular be vulnerable to Monkey’s telekinesis if he busted that out. For a more complete counter, how about...

The Nega-Chin:

The Nega-Chin, the Crimson Chin’s Arch Enemy from Fairly Oddparents! Nega-Chin scales significantly above the citizens of Dimsdale, who were once able to endure the force needed to hurdle the Earth into the Sun at highly Relativistic Speed, and Vicky was able to beat up Mandie, who was faster than Mark Changs spaceship capable of traveling Billions of times the speed of light, so he's pretty comparable to the characters here. Nega-Chin has numerous common superhero powers like flight and heat vision, as well as teleportation gear that allows him to match all the mobility options here. The Nega-Chin is a fictional comic book character in the FOP World, who is able to freely travel into and out of his comic at will, and can use this to toss other heroes in comics to BFR them away from this world. But his MOST deadly ability is his signature Nega-Vision, which rapidly drains away all the power and abilities of other super beings, and gives them to NC. He was able to drain all the power of Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad, who normally scale above him, in an instant. Meaning he would quickly become unstoppable here.
