Greetings and Welcome to another edition of my "Who Would Win" Series and it is going to be The Terminator vs Mr X from Resident Evil.
For this match up I will be using all of the Terminator films as the main source of info for this match up. Likewise, Mr X's info is used from the Resident Evil 2 video game exclusively.
And, for the first time in my series, there will be a new section dedicated entirely on "Quotes".
Finally, I will go into the base stats, weapons, skills, abilities, forms and finally, who I personally believe will successfully "Terminate" their opponent.
So, without further ado, let's begin.
The Terminator
The T-850 model (Cyber Research Systems Series 850) And the T-800 (Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Terminator) is a humanoid Hunter Killer cybernetic assassin designed for Infiltration and of course "Termination".
The Timeline Situation
It is important to note that The Terminator Films are, as of now, in separate timelines. The most straightforward approach to the story goes from The Terminator, Released in 1984, and then Terminator 2 Judgement Day, Released in 1991 and finally Terminator Dark Fate, Released in 2019.
What is interesting here though, is that the other films, Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines, Terminator Salvation and Terminator Genisys are entirely out of the main story arc due to creative differences from the writers, such as James Cameron, who of course directed the first two Terminator movies and produced Terminator Dark Fate.
So, with regards to the background of the Terminator, I decided to use the main story as it's background.
Now, let's look at the "Main" storyline of the Terminator.
Story Background (Spoilers!!!!!)
A war between the Human Resistance, led by John Connor and The computer systems program known as Skynet ravaged across the world in the not too distant future. In a desperate act, the Resistance managed to take control of one of Skynet's Time machines in order to send a Resistance Fighter known as Kyle Reese in the year 1984 to protect the mother of John Connor known as Sarah Connor.
Unfortunately, Skynet sent an assassin known as "The Terminator" to assassinate Sarah Connor.
Thankfully, Kyle and Sarah eventually succeeded in "Terminating" the Terminator. Though Kyle did not survive the ordeal, Sarah still managed to survive long enough to give birth to John Connor...... Oh yeah, Kyle actually "Had a good time" with Sarah Connor.... Does that mean Kyle is actually John Connor's Dad? Yeah, I will go with that XD!!!!!!!!
Anyway, jump into 1995, Sarah Connor has been declared "Insane" and is confined to a mental intuition. John Connor, now a young boy, lived with his step parents, both of whom do not even care about John's desires.
All is, well, quite hectic..... and then things got more hectic once Skynet sent an assassin, the T-1000 to kill John Connor.
Eventually, the T-1000 tried to murder John Connor, but was saved by a familiar face. It was a Terminator. Only this time, it was programed to protect John Connor from harm.
After realizing that John Connor infact did send the Terminator back in time to protect him, the situation becomes a heavy weight for John to take in. But, as it turns out, John managed to go with the flow anyway.
So, after rescuing Sarah Connor from the Mental Institution and from the T-1000, the trio managed to avoid certain doom. As it turns out, Skynet was also created by Cyberdyne systems, who in the present time, was only making CPU chips while having a robotic arm from the 1984 Terminator inside a glass container.
After destroying Cyberdyne systems, and defeating the T-1000, The Terminator decided to self Terminate in order to protect John Connor from further harm.
So all is well. After the horrific experience, John and Sarah managed to live a good life...... Unfortunately, this happened
Yeah......... turns out, another T-800 model was sent back to assassinate John Connor. This time, the mission was a success, and it completely destroyed any hope for the Resistance to win the war cleanly and efficiently....... That is, until another Resistance fighter named Daniella Ramos became a leader of the Resistance against a new type of artificial intelligence known as "Legion".
Despite all of this, the same T-800, now under the alias "Carl" was living the life of a man because it had no other purpose. Oh, and Carl now makes Texas jokes and had a wife who also had a son.... Oh btw, the son was already born before Carl even married his mother....... Thank god XD!!
However, despite developing self awareness, living life like a human would, Carl was visited by Dani, Grace (A cybernetically enhanced human) and of course, Sarah Connor, who holds a heavy grudge on Carl for the murder of John.
Turns out, Dani has been targeted by the Rev-9, an advanced Terminator sent back in time to assassinate her........ Oh boy is this series so repetitive with it's story XD!!!!!
Thankfully, with Carl's assistance, the Rev-9 failed in it's mission, as Dani and Sarah Connor managed to survive the ordeal and continue their lives undisturbed.
Since then, The Terminator has become one of fiction's deadliest assassins.
That is the main background of the Terminator. Now, let's see what this badass cyborg is capable of.
Composition/Mixtures
 |
Composition is when you take multiple sources and mix it together to make one complete package. Thankfully, The Terminator is one of the very few characters in fiction that can be successfully composited to help him reach his maximum potential. So, as of this section, I will include feats from all the six Terminator films
Strength
 |
| Ragdoll time :D!!!!!! |
The Terminator is an absolute badass in terms of Strength. Here is a list of Strength feats done by the Terminator
- Can punch right through a human's body. Sometimes, the Terminator can rip out vital organs in the process
- Has smashed through car windows and windscreens with no effort.
 |
| Car Windscreen Smash |
- Can rip apart steel bars
- Has thrown humans around like rag dolls
- Managed to hold up a Bomb Shelter door with one arm
- Can break every bone in your hand with just a grip
- Can hold up a casket with one arm and firing a Browning M1919A4 with the other
- Can throw other Terminators against walls. Sometimes, even breaking through walls in the process
- Can shoot heavy firearms with just one arm....... Badass :D!!!
- Can wield melee weapons with such force, they can damage other Terminator endoskeletons.
- Can wield two Plasma Rifles on each arm, which are much heavier than standard weapons
- Punched Marcus' chest with such force, his heart stopped beating. Marcus is a Human who also happens to be a cybernetically enhanced human
- Held a bus with one hand in an attempt to rescue Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese from the T-3000
- Funny enough, the Terminator suffers no recoil kickbacks when firing a Shotgun with one arm or even assault Rifles. This dramatically increases the steadiness of his accuracy.
Speed
 |
| Running. If your The Terminator, you need to Run. |
Speed is where the Terminator is interesting to say the least. He usually is just as fast as a human......... Until he gets serious. Here is a list of Speed feats
- Running wise, The Terminator is just above a peak human. However, in the 1984 film, he almost caught up with Sarah and Kyle, who had a 15 second head start against him.
- Was quick enough to stop the Bomb Shelter Door from closing.
- Is able to stop a bullet using his mouth... at point blank range!!!
- While limping, The Terminator is still quick enough to catch up to an injured human
- Can reload weapons much more quickly than any human would.... only matched by Kyle Reese of course XD!!!!
Durability
 |
| Just taking a stroll guys. Come on!!! XD!!! |
Durability is the core of the Terminator Stats. An absolute monster in terms of Durability, here is a list of feats.
- Is literally immune to firearms and moderate levels of damage
- Took multiple punches to the face. Sometimes, he turns back slowly and makes the funniest look ever XD!!!!!!!!!!
Before
 | |
| After |
- Is highly resistant to Acid
 |
| Terminator taking Acid like a Boss |
Was dragged across multiple buildings while on the end side of a crane. This is quite significant because the Terminator actually suffered very little organic damage from all of this
Took a plasma blast from the T-X, an advanced Terminator designed to kill other Terminators.
Was damaged when he crashed a helicopter into Crystal Peak's Bomb Shelter. The Terminator came out and only lost a vast majority of it's organic tissue, but is still kicking like a boss.
- Was getting rammed multiple times by a suspended ram by the T-1000. While this actually almost destroyed The Terminator, the fact it actually kept going...... well, for a bit, showcases that it can somehow take attacks with heavy pressure for a moment.
During the chase scene on the highway in The Terminator 1984 film, The T-800 model took explosive blasts from multiple pipe bombs while riding a motorcycle..... unphased
The Badass Cyborg is still up and running!!! Was inside a Fuel Truck that was ultimately destroyed by Kyle Reese, who used a pipe bomb and the truck exploded with such power, it is equal to that of a multi building blast....... The Terminator actually got up from it and only suffered permanent organic tissue loss and a broken leg.
The Anatomy of The Terminator
The Terminator is, as you would have known by now, a Cyborg. It has the skin, living tissue, organs and characteristics of a human in order to blend into the environment undetected... Unless dogs are around XD!!!!!
Back to serious stuff. The endoskeleton of the Terminator is made out of Titanium Alloy, one of most durable materials on the planet. However, overtime, The Terminator's endoskeleton was later coated with a percentage amount of Coltan, which makes them more resistant to heat.
Bottom line, The Terminator's Anatomy is pretty cool. It is one of the most perfect designs for assassination, or, if programmed to do so, be very good at being a Spy for espionage missions.... James Bond, better watch out buddy XD!!!!
Weapons
Now, this is where the fun begins. The Terminator is a master of all forms of weapons. For the sake of this blog, I decided to use group types of weapons instead of specific names for each weapon. Why is that? The Terminator has used LOTS!!!! of Weapons.
So, here is a list of Weapon types used by the Terminator
 |
| Gun's And Roses. Gun's And Roses. Gun's and Roses!!! |
Oh, and when the Terminator fires a shotgun, he suffer virtually no recoil, making his accuracy and steadiness unmatched. And one more thing.....
That's right... The Terminator can fire a shotgun, while riding a bike.... with one hand...... an absolute badass!!!!!
 |
| Spray, Spray the bullets!! |
Grenade Launchers: The Grenade Launcher is another powerful weapon. It, well, is a launcher that fires grenades. One blast of these grenades is powerful enough to destroy a car.
 |
| Over the shoulder with just one hand XD!!! |
What's more, like the Carl Gustav, other Rocket Launchers are also "Anti Tank" designed. This actually makes them much more powerful than other Rocket Launcher types. And of course, are designed to destroy, well, Tanks XD!!!!!
 |
| Serious Sam, I mean Terminator everyone!!! |
A Minigun can spray an average 2000- 6000 rounds per minute, and it usually requires great strength to steady it's firepower...... But, The Terminator already has that covered XD!!!!
Hydrogen Fuel Cells: The later Model, The T-850, has twin Hydrogen Fuel Cells. Each cell lasts for 120 years before it runs out of battery life. However, when ruptured, the cell becomes unstable, and they will become a bomb that can cause an explosion like this
Well, that's that. Not only is the Terminator an assassin, he is actually a time bomb ready to explode. that is, if you rupture the fuel cells XD!!!!!
Melee Weapons: The Terminator is not just amazing with long range and explosives, he is also efficient in hand to hand combat. What's more, melee weapons also give the Terminator a leg up in terms of reach. And, because the Terminator is much stronger than a human, would wield melee weapons with such force, it can destroy, pretty much what it wants.
Melee Weapon types the Terminator used include:
Fisticuffs
Large pipes
A huge mace
Liquid Metal blades
Gloves that can cause strong knockback
Plasma Weapons: In the future, The Terminator can wield Plasma Rifles, which can burn through even other Terminator endoskeletons like butter. Unfortunately, because the Time Travel system literally discards Plasma Weapons, it is very unlikely the Terminator would bring these weapon types if it was set in the past Skills and Interface System
As an Artificial Intelligence, The Terminator has a built in interface. it can mimic the voices of his targets, and it can also adapt to it's environment very quickly. Unlike Death Battle's version of "The Terminator cannot adapt quick enough", a Terminator is actually FAR!!!! from stupid. At it's best, the Terminator is so skilled with tactics, it can be almost impossible to beat in a random encounter.
Also, unlike Death Battle's Terminator, it's creativity allows it to outsmart many opponents in the past. Even the most well trained soldier pales in comparison to the superior combat skills of a Terminator.
More on it's interface, The Terminator is able to measure the size of clothing, in case it needed some to help it blend into the environment. Also, it knows that should it wear clothing that doesn't match it's own preferences, it will discard them immediately.
And of course, The Terminator is, well, a master of Termination. A killer who can beat you down with a million ways, there is no denying that the Terminator is just that good with it's mission.
Liquid Metal Upgrade
In Terminator Genisys, after successfully defeating the T-3000, the Terminator was dumped into a pool of liquid metal, this actually not only revived it, it also gave him a huge upgrade.
Liquid Metal allows the Terminator to scale to the T-1000 perfectly, and it can also make weapons using it's arms for close quarters combat, and can shapeshift into an entirely liquid metal like substance that is pretty much impossible to kill thanks to it's regeneration.... Unless you have fire or acid to burn through it.
Vehicles
The Terminator can drive, even use, basically every single vehicle known. This allows it to have greater travel speed and it is exceptionally good when chasing, or in other cases, getting chased.
The types of vehicles that the Terminator generally uses are:
- Motorcycles
- Cars
- Trucks
- Aircraft
Oh, and also, The Terminator can use these vehicles to ram into his enemies....... Yeah, that means it must be a fan of Demolition Derby XD!!!!!!!!!!
Quotes
Of course, the Terminator has some of the most iconic catchphrases in all of Fiction. For the sake of this section, I would like to introduce a special guest..... Please Welcome..... Larry!!!!!!!!!!
 |
| Larry the Interviewer |
Larry: Thank you for bringing me here Simoun. Now, as we get into the fun stuff, allow me to talk to the one and only ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER!!!!!!
The Terminator: I am the Terminator
Larry: Sorry dude, I know your The Terminator but please take a moment and let me ask, what are you exactly?
The Terminator: I am a Terminator, a T-800 model a cybernetic organism, human tissue on a metal endoskeleton
Larry: So basically you are a cyborg right?
The Terminator: Yes.
Larry: Care to explain, what are your most well known lines?
The Terminator: Fuck you Asshole
Larry: Excuse me?
The Terminator: Chill out, Dickwad
Larry: Well, for a cyborg, you sure need to learn how to handle your manners buddy
The Terminator: I am unable to comply
Larry: Is that so? Well then, maybe I should try and shut you down and reprogram your behavior core.
The Terminator: Don't do that
Larry: Why not?
The Terminator: It is not your concern, my mission is to take down this Mr X who is about to be here in this match up. I'll be back
Larry: Hey hey, wait!!!! We are not finished here!!!
The Terminator: Talk to the Hand
Larry: Whatever, well, I guess my job here is done for you pal.
The Terminator: Hasta La Vista, Baby.
Larry: Farewell, I guess. Back to you Simoun
Feats for The Terminator
The Terminator has achieved quite alot of feats that make him a legit badass. Here is a list of accomplishments achieved by the Terminator

- Managed to fend off the Police Force outside of Cyberdyne Systems, and did not kill anyone at all
- Destroyed the T-X
- Has helped Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese destroy the T-3000
- Became a T-1000 by the end of Terminator Genisys

- Portrayed by Arnold Schwarzengger, the best action star ever.
Weaknesses
 |
| "My success rate is officially crushed" |
While the Terminator is a badass, unfortunately, he is one of the easier characters to take down effectively if you can exploit his weaknesses.
Firstly, the Terminator, while resistant to low levels to moderate levels of damage, will eventually be damaged severely by heavy firepower. What's more, solid strikes that can break through a building is pretty much capable of crushing a Terminator easily.
Explosives are literally the best way to take down a Terminator, as not only would they be damaged, they will outright lose limbs in the process, even shutting them down entirely. A single pipe bomb between the joints will certainly do the trick.
With regards to limbs, The Terminator cannot regrow or reattach limbs once they are severed. This will ultimately weaken it substantially in a long drawn fight that will prove fatal to the Terminator. Which also means, aside from his Liquid Metal Upgrade, The Terminator's regeneration is barely at human level, which also means, it is literally useless in combat.
Also, The Terminator, has very rarely killed his enemies cleanly. While he has killed a T-1000 from Terminator Genisys, the rest of the films have the Terminator on the ropes. In fact, Terminator 2 basically would have ended the Terminator's life after the T-1000 impaled his internal systems.... if not for this
Yeah, alternate power...... Lucky guy (why is this not a weakness then? XD!!!!)
What is worse, the Terminator has one of the worst track records in all of fiction, even worse than RWBY's Weiss Schnee. He has died 5/6 times in his films. Thus, while great for robot standards, has a lean record for longevity.
Finally, The Terminator is also easily hackable, making it pretty much a dummy if the enemy somehow hacked into it's systems, causing the Terminator to go haywire or even out of control.
At last, the biggest weakness for the Terminator is Dogs........ why? Because Dogs can detect Terminators thanks to their scent of smell. Which also nullifies it's disguise capabilities completely.
Still despite it's faults, The Terminator is one of the deadliest assassins in all of fiction.
Mr X/T-00
In 1998, during the Raccoon City Outbreak, The Umbrella Corporation sent a cloned Tyrant (Bio organic weapon humanoid) known as Mr X to gather a G-Virus sample from the Pendant of Sherry Birkin. While doing so, Mr X is also authorized to eliminate any survivors and witnesses of the ordeal.
Two of those survivors were Leon S Kennedy and Claire Redfield, sister of S.T.A.R.S member Chris Redfield.
Although Mr X almost completed his mission, he unfortunately (Or should I say, fortunately) died at the hands of Leon by the end of Resident Evil 2.
Seems short right? Not really.
In the parallel timeline, Claire Redfield eventually rescued Sherry Birkin from the head of police, who is an absolute moron. Thankfully, Claire and Sherry escaped from an incoming Mr X, thanks to the help of a mutated William Birkin, who is Sherry's father. Thus, Mr X died twice in the story....... Or, was there two Mr X's? XD!!!!!
That is the story of Mr X's involvement in Resident Evil 2. Now, let's see what this badass Tyrant is capable of.
Strength
 |
| "Get to the Chopper!!.... Oh wait, never mind" |
Mr X is one of the strongest characters in the Resident Evil franchise in terms of physical strength. Here is a list of feats
- With just one arm, and with very little effort, Mr X held up and even pushed a helicopter out of the way. Because Mr X did this feat with no effort, he is certainly capable of achieving far greater feats. He could even hold up two helicopters with both hands, or hold up a falling building if he wanted to.
- Can crush a human skull like jelly
 |
| Let the squashing begin!!! |
- His punches can send both Leon and Claire flying a few feet away
- Can break through walls by simply walking through them
- Can rip open an elevator door
- Can scale above a Licker, another B.O.W that can slice through brick walls with it's claws
- His Second Form can literally one shot Leon with it's charging attack, if he can execute it. Strength wise, it is quite amazing, as the claw hand literally rips right into Leon's body, killing him effectively
- With about 2-3 strikes with his claw hands in his Second Form, Mr X can kill Leon. For reference, Leon is durable enough to take multiple Licker strikes and some Zombie bites. However, more impressively, Leon took hits from William Birkin's Final Form, who is much larger than Mr X but only deals the same amount of Damage to Leon
Speed
Unfortunately, it is difficult to measure Mr X's Speed. But, there are notable moments that make him pretty intimidating.
- Can walk through walls unphased.
- Is able to walk very, VERY!!! fast. Eventually, Mr X can catch up to a running human by simply walking fast
- Can catch both Leon and Claire with his hand quickly. Compared to a Licker, Mr X actually can tag both Leon and Claire 3 times the speed of a Licker's claw strike
- His final Form can swing his claws quick enough that it reaches borderline faster than the eye can track speeds.
Durability
 |
| Explosives huh? I can regenerate from that |
Durability is one of Mr X's best stats. Here is a list of amazing Durability feats
- Bullets, Sharp Knives and even Explosives are literally pointless against Mr X.
- Strangely enough, while wearing the coat, Mr X cannot be killed from a rocket launcher blast
- Can take at least 4 shotgun blasts at point blank to finally be stunned for a moment
- Was able to get around after being rammed by a truck towards a wall
- His second Form, while drastically much weaker in terms of Durability, still cannot be put down with regular weapons.
- Amazingly, when shot at point blank range with either A grenade launcher or a shotgun blast to the head, Mr X's head remains intact.
Regeneration
Mr X is quite unique in that he has a Regeneration. While it doesn't necessary regrow limbs, it is powerful enough to add another layer of durability for Mr X. It takes only 10-20 seconds for Mr X to finally fully heal himself after being stunned. This sounds long, but again, Mr X's resistance to firearms and explosives already makes it very difficult to put him down.
Skills
A competent fighter, Mr X uses brawling and grappling moves. While simple, it does get the job done and he is very efficient.
It is also worth noting that Mr X is very good in terms of surprise attacks. While he is generally heard from a distance thanks to his footsteps, he sometimes comes out of nowhere without warning. This makes Mr X really good at ambushes
Second Form
 |
| Death Awaits!!! |
The Second Form of Mr X is one that ultimately comes with alot of interesting factors. After suffering from a huge explosion, he loses his bullet/explosive proof coat.
Eventually, Mr X has greater speed and reflexes. This final form also comes with a pair of claws, which are capable of piercing through Steel and humans.
Quotes
It is time for my good friend Larry the Interviewer to ask Mr X for some Quotes. Take it away Larry!!!!
 |
| He is back! |
Larry: Thank you Simoun. It is good to be back here after the awful time with the Terminator. Let's hope Mr X here will be much more cooperative. Mr X, may I ask, what are your most memorable quotes?
Mr X: ..............
Larry: Hey! Hello? Anybody home? Could you say at least something?
Mr X:..........
Larry: What are you looking at? I am the one who is asking you a simple question. What can you say?
(Mr X grabs Larry by the throat and throws him towards a wall)
Simoun: Oh my, Larry, you alright?
(Mr X, emotionless, walks towards the door and leaves the area)
Simoun: Larry? You there mate?
(Larry gets back up, suffering only a scratch wound..)
Larry: Yes I am here, looks like the interview is finished already. It appears that Mr X here has no quotes to share.
Simoun: Oh thank god. Larry, maybe you need a break. How bout I call you back later when the time comes ok?
Larry: Thanks Simoun. Call me when you want some more quotes done :D!!!
Feats for Mr X
Mr X has quite a notable list of feats that make him quite a scary opponent. Here is a list of feats and accomplishments achieved by the Tyrant
- Has officially, and cleanly, assassinated Ben Burtolucci, a journalist........... XD!!!
- Almost killed Leon and Claire if not for lucky situations
- Lifting up a helicopter with one arm is just pure greatness :D
- With the Coat, Mr X may as well be like Inspector Gadget in terms of aesthetics XD!!!
- Without the Coat, Mr X becomes pretty awesome :D!!!
Yeah.... that's it for feats..... Mr X actually did not have alot of overwhelming success. Which means.....
Weaknesses
 |
| William Birkin killing Mr X from behind |
Mr X has, well, no weapons aside from his fists and his claws. What is even worse, Mr X never used his legs to kick down his opponents....... One of the most hilarious weaknesses for a fighter ever.
Even worse, Mr X, while quite intelligent, can be easily outsmarted by those who are crafty. In fact, it is this craftiness that saved Leon and Claire from Mr X's grip all the time.
And finally, with regards to his Second Form, Mr X has a fatal flaw, his exposed chest area is a critical point that allows his enemies to shoot his heart out, damaging Mr X to the point he is quickly stunned. But of course, those who have a Rocket Launcher can one shot Mr X in his second form, killing him instantly.
Despite the faults, Mr X is quite a badass character. He may not have the best resume, but his presence alone does make him one of the scariest opponents to go up against.
Summary
The Terminator
Advantages
- Is faster than Mr X, if he runs
- More Weapons
- More skilled
- More Experienced
- More quotes
- Can actually drive vehicles
- The T-Pops Terminator from Genisys actually outright destroys Mr X due to the Liquid Metal Upgrade
Disadvantages
- Is actually not as durable as Mr X
- Has to first bypass Mr X's Regeneration, which will be the deciding factor of the fight
- In a fist fight, Mr X actually has greater power behind his strikes than The Terminator
- His Hydrogen Fuel Cells, while more than capable of killing Mr X, actually may not matter because Mr X could just kill the Terminator without even touching the fuel cells at all
- While the Terminator used vehicles, in a random encounter, vehicles may not matter at all.
- Cannot use Plasma weapons if the fight was set in the past.
- No regenerative capabilities compared to Mr X
- While The Terminator has used Rocket Launchers before, and they actually will one shot Mr X, it is only a specific weapon type for specific scenarios that ultimately doesn't quite click it with a "Most likely outcome" situation. What's more, The Terminator mainly uses the standard weapons only, all of which are utterly useless against Mr X.
Mr X
Advantages
- More Durable than The Terminator
- His Regeneration is the deciding factor of the fight. We shall see if it is
- Greater striking power with his melee attacks
- Despite the Hydrogen Fuel Cells being an instant no no for Mr x, because they are placed inside the Terminator's chest area, and that Mr X loves to target the head instead, it is very likely that Mr X would simply end the fight without rupturing the fuel cells entirely
- Despite the Terminator using Vehicles before, in a random encounter, out in the middle of nowhere that factor may not matter at all.
- Because the Terminator's Plasma Weapons cannot be used if the fight was set in the past, Mr X does not have to worry about Plasma Burns that would have otherwise, kill him quickly
- Is virtually resistant to all of the Terminator's Standard arsenal such as Pistols, Shotguns, Assault Rifles, Grenade Launchers and Miniguns
- Wearing the Coat, which is the most likely scenario to happen, Mr X is actually incapable of being killed by Rocket Launchers.
Disadvantages
- Not quite as fast as the Terminator, if he runs
- Not as skilled in combat
- Less Experienced
- Almost no weapons aside from his fists and claws.
- If T-Pops Terminator, with the Liquid Metal Upgrade is used, the fight is a no contest in favor of The Terminator.
The Verdict
The Terminator vs Mr X is, at first glance, one of those match ups that looks like it favors the Terminator. You can make a solid argument that The Terminator would win simply because he is more skilled, more experienced, has more weapons and outright has more creativity, which actually defeats Mr X in the Resident Evil 2 video game.
So you would be thinking that it is a wrap already..... Nope.
While The Terminator has those advantages, Mr X's advantages actually counteract them in a interesting way.
Firstly, Stats. While both the Terminator and Mr X are pretty much even in terms of physical strength, I do believe the Terminator is faster. However, the problem about this advantage is simple. The Terminator very rarely runs while in combat. Most of the time he is likely going to just stroll through and simply grapple his opponent and cause mayhem. So really, the speed advantage only goes in favor of the Terminator, if he decides to run. However, there is another factor to go over: Durability
This is actually quite an interesting factor. Both The Terminator and Mr X can survive multiple crap that otherwise would have crushed them. But, turns out, they get up and start kicking once more. However, despite the similar durability capabilities, I believe Mr X has this in the bag. Especially with regards to an upcoming factor that I will get into now: Weapons
Of course the Terminator has more weapons, he has his trusty shotguns, Assault Rifles, anything that can get the job done..... Unfortunately, Mr X is literally more than durable enough to tank nearly all of those weapons entirely. Especially with regards to his Coat, which is bullet proof and explosive proof. This will ultimately force the Terminator to try and get crafty on Mr X, which, well, may not matter at all.
Why is that? This is a random encounter, so the Terminator may not know much about Mr X's capabilities before it is too late. But, overtime, there is a possibility that The Terminator will adapt to the situation and finally get a leg up right? Well, Yes.
However, while the Terminator will adapt to Mr X's attacks, he has to also try and bypass one of the most important factors of the entire match up: Mr X's Regeneration.
Simply put, in order for the Terminator to effectively destroy and kill Mr X, he has to bypass the regeneration with enough force to eventually prevail. This Regeneration allows Mr X to heal from wounds and keep fighting on. Can the Terminator achieve this? Well, my answer........
No.....
Now, this is actually a pretty controversial decision. But hear me out. The Terminator needs the firepower in order to kill Mr X entirely. But, I have two scenarios that ultimately seal the deal for Mr X to win this bout
1. The Terminator's Arsenal is simply nothing that Mr X has experienced before
The weapons of the Terminator, while vast and powerful, lack the capabilities to effectively put down Mr X for good. What's more, The explosive types such as the Grenade Launcher were once shot at Mr X and he still doesn't get down for good. Stunned yes, but doesn't get killed. What is worse, should Mr X keep wearing the coat, he is immune to severe damage from even the Rocket Launchers, which are the Terminator's most powerful weapons aside from his last resort......
2. The Hydrogen Fuel Cells Factor
The Hydrogen fuel cells are actually, the only way for the Terminator to kill Mr X in a random encounter. This is true because these fuel cells are literally the batteries of the Terminator. So you would think they will ultimately win the fight right? Actually, this is where it gets interesting.
Firstly, In order for the Fuel cells to be used as a weapon, they need to be punctured through, causing damage to it's core and making it unstable. Mr X actually could just end the fight against the Terminator by simply ripping his head off, which he is more than capable of doing since he has the strength to do it. So really, the hydrogen fuel cells may not matter at all in this fight. But, I will be generous here. Should the fuel Cells get ruptured, this is a win for the Terminator right? Wrong.
Ha, this is another controversial moment but again, let me explain. Because the Terminator is within the blast radius of the fuel cell if it exploded, this match up actually ends with both the Terminator and Mr X dead.... thus, it is a stalemate...... However, even if the Terminator threw the cell at Mr X, he is still within the blast radius, and he is not quick enough on his feet to escape it. He may survive, but since it also poses another problem such as no more fuel cells or worse, another ruptured fuel cell from the blast, he will deactivate quickly due to the power systems being destroyed in his endoskeleton.
Funny enough it would be hilarious if the Terminator actually survived the blast, only for one more fuel cell to be ruptured and thus, it exploded, terminating the Terminator via self destruction XD!!!!
But of course, let's take off Mr X's coat and go into his Second Form.
If The Terminator is able to fight long enough to deliver enough damage to take off the coat, I can see Mr X having a bit of a tussle with the Terminator to the point that it can be in favor of the Terminator.
What's more, this time, A single Rocket Launcher blast will instantly kill Mr X........ So, this is actually a win right? Well of course.... Unfortunately, specific weapon types vs the most likely outcome still favor Mr X.
What is worse, the Terminator may not have a rocket launcher in the fight at all. Even his weapons, at this point, would run out of ammo and The Terminator will have to resort to Melee combat in order to do much...... And yes, Mr X has this in the bag again.
Why is that? Well, remember, Mr X's claw can pierce through and cut through steel, which the Terminator is made of. Although, this is Titanium Alloy, or Coltan we are talking about, so it would require a bit of effort for Mr X to bypass that material... and I believe he will do it.
Remember, Mr X has the Strength to damage the Terminator and the claws themselves are capable of slicing the Terminator's limbs off..... Thus, the fight would be over, but it would be super close.
Ultimately, there is one more factor to consider: T-Pops Liquid Metal Upgrade.
While this model of the Terminator would indeed destroy Mr X. 1. It actually is non canon to the main story arc and 2. This goes back to "Specific Circumstances". In fact, The Terminator generally doesn't have this upgrade in the movies to make it a consistent factor. Ultimately, while it is a game changer, the Liquid Metal Upgrade is just a one out of 1000000000000000 ways for the fight to base a victor on.
So, Thanks to his Striking power, Regeneration, Durability, Claws, I believe Mr X has "Terminated" the Terminator
