Season 4: All Might (My Hero Academia) vs Captain America (Marvel)

Greetings and Welcome to another edition of my "Who Would Win" Series and it is going to be All Might from My Hero Academia vs Captain America from Marvel





This particular match up is going to be a bit different because both All Might and Cap are able to perform feats that are far greater than what they are shown. For instance, the statement claimed that All Might would be significantly stronger in his prime, already establishes the Peak of his Power (I Will touch on that subject very soon) 




With Regards to Captain America's Power, funny enough, due to scaling from other characters and the capabilities of his Shield being made of materials that were also used in the Marvel Universe, I will go into a closer look at the true capabilities of what The Shield can withstand.... and also what Cap is capable of as well XD!!!!

Finally, I will go into the base stats, abilities, feats, weaknesses and finally, who I personally believe will win this match up






So without further ado, let's begin




Toshinori Yagi "All Might"

From Left to Right: Toshinori Yagi in his True Form. All Might on the Right being a badass

 


















 In a world filled with Heroes, Villains, and the Quirkless (People without super powers) There was one man who wanted to become the "Symbol of Peace". Unfortunately, Toshinori was one of the Quirkless, and he had no way to somehow make the World a better place..... That is until a miracle occurred



You see, one day, Toshinori met Nana Shimura, a very close friend of his who also happens to be a Superhero. But not just "A" superhero, Nana Shimura inherited "One for All", which is quite frankly, the most powerful Quirk in My Hero Academia, Rivaled only by All for One, which is actually a Quirk given to a villain named....... All for One..... (A Power sharing the same name as the user, how original XD!!!!)



After letting Nana know of his motivations to become the Symbol of Peace and give everyone a smile on their face, Toshinori impressed Nana, and was gifted with "One for All".


Eventually, Nana and her close friend Grand Tornio, who also has a Quirk, trained Toshinori to become the best superhero he could possibly be..... Unfortunately, a tragic turn of events occurred.



One day, the evil villain All for One fought Nana Shimura, which ultimately ended with the Death of Nana............ this in turn made Toshinori strive to become a stronger hero and finally defeat All for One.



With continuous training from Gran Torino, going on adventures with his close friend David Shield, and eventually having a sidekick named "Night Eye", Toshinori eventually became the iconic superhero known as "All Might".



All Might became the Number 1 Hero of the world, and his reputation brought a huge positive impact. You see, it was because of All Might's Heroic acts and the presence of other Heroes that the Crime Rate was reduced significantly.

Let's defeat Evil with a Smile on my Face!!!!

However, as it turns out, during a previous encounter with All for One (Not this guy again XD!!), All Might had a portion of his stomach and his lungs ripped from his body, which greatly reduced his power. However, despite all that, All Might still persisted.


Unfortunately, this also saddened Night Eye, who predicted (With his Quirk) That All Might will eventually die in the future due to a brutal and gruesome battle with a villain that will ultimately "Be the end of the Symbol of Peace". Understandably, All Might ignored the warning, which ultimately ended the partnership of both All Might and Night Eye.


Overtime, All Might still managed to become the ultimate Superhero, as he proved time and time again that he can save others from danger with a Smile on his face.


One particular boy named Izuku Midoriya idolizes All Might so much, he strives to become a Hero......... But, sadly, Midoriya was Quirkless. However, Long Story Short, after being rescued by All Might from a Sludge Villain, Midoriya tries to question All Might, by holding onto him while in mid air.........

Question Time, but first, let me hold onto you while we are over 200 feet into the air!!

Turns out, Midoriya eventually found out about All Might's True Secret, who revealed his True Form after the "Timer" for his Quirk ran out. After a harsh talk from All Might, Midoriya's dream to become a Hero seemed to end there.... That was, until the same Sludge Villain somehow kidnapped Midoriya's friend Katsuki Bakugo (Kacchan).


In a desperate act, Midoriya attempted to rescue Bakugo, and was instead kidnapped by the monster anyway.


However, because Midoriya was heroic, All Might took matters into his own hands and finally defeated the Monster once and for all, rescuing Midoriya and Bakugo in the process.





Afterwards, All Might decided to inherit his power to Midoriya and become his mentor. And thus, after extensive training, passing the Entrance Exam and eventually enrolled to U.A. High School, Midoriya's dreams of becoming a hero are becoming a reality.



Of course, All Might eventually became a teacher at U.A as well, and he even prevented multiple threats that would have otherwise harmed the students. However, one particular event involved Bakugo's kidnapping by All for One's cronies, one of them being  Tomura Shigaraki (Nana Shimura's Grandson), the leader of the dreaded Villainous group known as....... "The League of Villains".



While attempting to rescue Bakugo, All Might eventually clashed with All for One in one of the most badass battles in Anime........ All Might eventually prevailed, but unfortunately, this also marked the end of All Might's time as the Symbol of Peace, as the last embers of his quirk have diminished. However, despite the horrific ordeal, All Might still lived and became more of a Mentor than a straight up superhero.

All Might after defeating All for One

In the end (As of this blog at least, My Hero Academia is a continuous story!!!) All Might is taking the life of a mentor for Midoriya and his classmates from Class 1-A. Eventually, the Number 1 Hero became Endeavor, who I shall talk about in another time XD!!!!!!!!!!





That is a straightforward, long and detailed background of All Might and My Hero Academia's main plot line. Now, let's see what my favorite Male Superhero is capable of!!!




Quirk "One For All" 

You got the touch!!! You got the Power!!!!!

Before we look at All Might's stats, we must look at his Quirk.

All Might's Quirk is of course "One for All", and what is interesting here is that it is a Quirk that can be handed down to another user, even those without a Quirk such as Midoriya.


Capabilities wise, One for All allows the user to have Super Strength, Speed, Durability and of course, Incredible Abilities.


What is interesting however, is that All Might's use of his Quirk is very similar to DC's Shazam's Power, in that he can trigger it at will. However, after his gruesome injury at the hands of One for All, All Might's power eventually got limited to three hours a day. In fact, extended use of the Quirk will weaken All Might overtime, and as of now, he is only able to use One for All for a minimum of 1 hour or less.




Still, I will be using All Might at his Prime for this match up, but, for the sake of fun, I will include feats from his weakened state.... with a few surprises :D!!!!









Strength

All Might is, by all intents and purposes, the strongest Hero in My Hero Academia. At least in terms of physical Strength. Here is a list of Strength feats for All Might

• Is able to break through concrete walls with no effort

• Has punched, damaged and finally defeated Nomu, who is a monster that has a Quirk that absorbs shock and physical force. What is important however, is that All Might achieved this feat with "300" punches and he has stated that in his prime, he would have beaten Nomu with just 5 punches. That is 60 times the power than what he has shown in the anime and manga.

• Can punch so hard that even the surrounding area causes strong winds in thin air.
   

• Punched a monster through a city block  

• Lifted a Sky Bridge that pinned down multiple civilians

•  Is able to punch with such force using "Detroit Smash", the atmosphere changes, and creates rain. Again, with the 60x power multiplier, if All Might tried this feat at his peak, he would have created hurricane level storms or, with a more conservative estimate, a huge tornado at the very least

The Whirlwind that All Might caused using "Detroit Smash"

• Has traded blows with All for One, who literally has the exact same level of Strength as "Peak All Might". However, All Might eventually fought All for One in his Weakened State and prevailed........... This feat alone is why All Might is literally, the coolest superhero ever :D!!!!

• Used United States of Smash on All For One, which finally defeated the evil villain at the cost of losing the last embers of his power. However, this feat is incredible, as All Might actually destroyed an entire city block..... Even when he was at his True Form!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, his right arm was the size of a tree log but come on, All Might deserves praise for it!!!

All Might using "United States of Smash"

• While helping Midoriya, All Might destroyed Wolfram, who uses a Quirk that allows him to manipulate Metal and use it for both offense and defense. In the case of the feat, both Midoriya and All Might used "Double Detroit Smash" which is a combined attack that not only destroyed Wolfram, but the size of the impact literally destroyed all the Metal and Materials manipulated by Wolfram as a result.

All Might and Midoriya combining power against Wolfram

The result.....

But wait!!! There is more here!!!!!

Double the Power, Double the Fun!!!

Talk about overkill XD!!!!!!!!!!!

Speed

All Might and Midoriya running :D!!!!

All Might, while extremely strong already, is equally impressive in terms of Speed. Here is a handful of Speed feats for the Smiling Badass

• Used a hand chop to swat away missiles

• Took down seven guys in a time span of only 3 seconds. However, what is more impressive here is that All Might achieved this feat while he was at the Entrance of the U.S.J Facility, and he just straight up took them down faster than the speed of sound.

"Hey guys, let's kill the Symbol of Peace!!!"

"Scratch that Idea...... Epic fail!!!"

• Crossed 5 kilometers in 30 seconds while taking down Nomus

• Has reacted to attacks from Wolfram, All for One and Kurogiri. All of whom are equal to All Might in terms of Speed.

Durability

All for One using his Power to blast All Might Backwards

 











In terms of Durability, All Might is a legit badass. Here is a handful of Durability feats

• Took a blast from Bakugo's Large Explosion, which ended up destroying a huge portion of the Street and devastated multiple buildings 

• Has taken blows from Nomu, who literally is equal to All Might's Strength. 

• Endured Wolfram's grip that targeted All Might's Weak Point (More on that later) Wolfram has another Quirk that enhances his Strength substantially

• Took multiple point blank blasts from Bakugo's standard attacks, which are capable of destroying buildings at the very least. 

• Took a 5% punch strike from Deku, which is actually Midoriya's Hero name :D!!!! 

•  Was crushed and skewered from Wolfram's Power and survived

All Might being crushed and Skewered while fighting Wolfram

•  Survived getting a portion of his stomach and lungs being ripped from his body.

Special Moves.

ATATATATATATATA!!!!!!!!! Oooops Wrong character XD!!!

Of course, like all great superheroes, All Might has special moves that make him quite versatile and surprisingly scary. Here is a list of insane moves from the Smiling Hero

California Smash

California Smash: All Might attacks by performing frontal somersaults and builds up momentum to create a smash. Airborne technique

Carolina Smash. Notice Nomu absorbing the attack

Carolina Smash: All Might runs towards an enemy while keeping his hands in a cross position, then in a downwards cross chop to the enemies head.

Detroit Smash

Detroit Smash:  All Might performs a downward punch. The punch creates a shock wave large and powerful enough to clear the weather. This move is first used to save Izuku and Katsuki from the Sludge Villain











Double Detroit Smash: All Might and Midoriya use One For All at 100% and combine their Detroit Smash attacks to create a smash that is able to crush Wolfram.

Double Detroit Smash

Missouri Smash

Missouri Smash: All Might runs towards an enemy while keeping his hand flat and hits the enemy on the head while running past them in order to knock them out

Nebraska Smash

Nebraska Smash: While throwing a punch, All Might rotates his arm to create a tornado.

New Hampshire Smash

New Hampshire Smash:  All Might punches the air while in the air to propel himself backwards towards his enemy and smashes his body into the enemy, crushing and injuring the enemy with his great weight. Airborne technique.

Oklahoma Smash

Oklahoma Smash: All Might whirls around while enemies have latched onto him, spinning with enough force that when they are released they are easily thrown through concrete.It is a perfect counter to those who attempt to grapple All Might.

Texas Smash

Texas Smash:  All Might throws a punch in order to create wind pressure in order to blow objects and people away.

PLUS ULTRAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus Ultra: All Might goes beyond his limits and unleashes a devastating punch. It is one of All Might's most powerful attacks.
















United States of Smash: Without a doubt, my favorite Superhero attack in all of fiction, United States of Smash is All Might's Ultimate Attack that quite literally, destroys anything he wanted. While All Might defeated All for One with this badass move, it is worth noting that using the 60x multiplier, this move would be far superior to the most powerful nuclear bomb that ever detonated.......... Yes, All Might at his Prime has the power to destroy countries................... This is why All Might is my Idol (Sorry Jotaro Kujo, your now dethroned XD!!!)

UNITED STATES OF SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Long Distance Jumping: Contrary to popular belief in My Hero Academia, All Might does not actually fly. Instead he propels himself by jumping and is gliding through the air. However, this ultimately makes All Might incredibly mobile, as this technique allows him to catch even the speediest of speedsters.

All Might jumping and flying at once XD!!!!!

Hundred Crack Fist: A move that is the same as Kenshiro's Hundred Crack Fist and Star Platnium's "ORAORAORA!!!!", All Might can do a Hundred Crack Fist to deliver insane amounts of power with a flurry of punches. Since each punch can break through concrete without effort, imagine hundreds of them pummeling you down at once. You would be turned into mince in just a second!!!!

Hundred Crack Fist.

Feats and Accomplishments

"I AM HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Of course, All Might has achieved a considerable amount of feats that makes him such an endearing and badass superhero. Here is a list of accomplished achieved by the Smiling Hero.

• Has officially, and Cleanly, and like a badass that surpasses Iron Man, defeated All for One

• Has helped Izuku Midoriya, later known as "Deku", achieve his dream to become a Hero.

• Has made the citizens and civilians feel positive whenever All Might is "Here".

• Is the only hero that the villain Stain actually admired. 

• Defeated multiple Villains on a regular basis, most of which many Heroes cannot defeat except if you are All Might.

• Voiced by Christopher Sabat, the same guy who voiced Roronoa Zoro from One Piece and Vegeta from Dragonball Z.

• Is literally, the coolest superhero in my opinion. Second only to Wonder Woman but only just!!!

• Was part of Death Battle's Season 6 Finale against Might Guy, which had pretty much the best battle music of the show titled "Mighty" (How fitting).

• His Smile would make the Joker and the Grinch Proud. Oh, and let's not forget Might Guy XD!!!!

• Has escaped capture from a combined effort of Midoriya, Uraraka, Tsuyu Asui, Tenya Iida, Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo in a simulated bank robbery with All Might as the bad guy....... Funny enough, All Might tried to help out the team but unfortunately, they instead focused on some love relationship that really would not have mattered anyway if one of them actually tied up All Might for custody. But no, they thought he was dead even though Tsuyu Asui tickled All Might's nose and he was clearly alive XD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weaknesses

I stand for Justice Not Sound Bites Because I, I am All mi----

  

 










As badass, cheerful and absolutely great of a character All Might is, unfortunately, he is beatable.



With regards to capabilities, All Might does not use any equipment aside from his Power. Basically, All Might's Power is all he brings to the fight.




Also, All Might has a weak spot that significantly reduced his power. It is with this weakness that All Might cannot hold his Hero Form for no more than 3 hours a day. However, after All for One's defeat at the hands of All Might, he can now no longer use this form for under an hour a day........ That is quite a sad weakness.

All Might's Injury that severely limited his power

However, despite his flaws, All Might is without a doubt, my favorite "Male" superhero. What makes All Might such a great character is that he is one of the very few heroes that has a battle to fight against his injury that he will never win. 

But still he persists and strives to make the world a better place........... Do not fear, All Might is Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 




'




Steve Rogers/Captain America

The Story of Steve Rogers, better known as "Captain America" or simply "Cap" is very straightforward.


Steve Rogers attempted to join the army, unfortunately he was too skinny and weak to be considered a "Soldier". Thankfully a kind hearted scientist devised an experiment on Steve with the "Super Soldier Serum" which drastically increases his physical capabilities.


Eventually, Steve became an absolute badass, and has taken down his arch nemesis Red Skull and even the Winter Soldier, who is actually Bucky Barnes, one of Steve's closest friends.


At one point, Steve was frozen in Ice after attempting to prevent the detonation of a bomb while flying a jet. Turns out, Steve woke up to the present day and was quickly recognized by fellow superheroes from around the world 


After the event, Captain America became a household name, and he became one of the founding members of the legendary superhero team known as "The Avengers". Funny enough, both Captain America and his pal Iron Man were split with power of the team. Sometimes, it worked fine but then conflict between the two did occur multiple times, notably, the start of the "Civil War". However, despite that, Cap is usually considered to be the ideal commander of the team regardless.




Over the course of his fictional lifetime, Captain America has defeated multiple superpowered beings, and helped his friends defeat galactic threats such as Thanos, Ultron, Kang the Conqueror, an enraged Hulk, Red Skull and many others.





That is a basic story of Captain America, now, let's see what the First Avenger is capable of.




Strength

  











Captain America is the definition of a peak human reaching the boundaries of a Human and of course, a Superhero. Strangely enough, Cap's strength is far greater than what most people give him credit for. Here is a list of surprising Strength Feats for Captain America.

• Can break down walls, even without his Vibranium Shield 

• Held Helicopters to stop escapees multiple times

• Should scale to Wolverine, who is able to bench press nearly 1000 pounds.

• Would also Scale to The Winter Soldier, who can crush through Steel and even other tough materials.

• Has traded blows with Iron Man, who can knock out the Hulk with a powerful strike.

Speed

"On your left"

  












Funny enough, Captain America is actually very fast. Indeed, despite being Peak Human, his Speed is actually something that is surprising to some. Here is a list of Speed Feats 

• Can see bullets coming right at him, allowing Cap to either block or dodge them entirely.

• Has dodged lightning from Thor and Storm, both of whom can conjure up lighting that is actually much faster than regular lightning.

• Has completely dodged Iron Man's Repulsor Blasts 

• Has ran faster than even Black Panther, who is able to outpace other characters like Wolverine and Spider Man multiple times.

• Took down a group of thugs in a time span of just two seconds.

• While jumping over obstacles, Captain America still does not lose speed while doing so. This actually helped Cap capture his enemies in the past before.

Durability

That's gotta hurt!!!

 




  







Durability wise, Captain America is pretty tough, even for human standards. Here is a list of Durability feats

• Has taken slashes from the likes of Black Panther, who uses Vibranium Claws that can cut through metal and sever molecular bonds

• Took a punch from Hulk, who is powerful enough to destroy a single city block with a single punch

• Took a Repulsor Blast from Iron Man, which is powerful enough to push back Gods, and even melt through materials.

• Has taken a beating from The Winter Soldier, who, again, can break through steel and other tough materials.

• Took multiple gunshots to his body and still persisted

• Took a brutal slash from Thanos' Double Sword, which was strong enough to shatter the Vibranium Shield 

The Vibranium Shield

Here is a frisbee!!!

  












Captain America's Signature weapon is the legendary Vibranium Shield. Made of, well, Vibranium, one of the strongest materials in the Marvel Universe, The Shield is incredibly durable.


It also has multiple purposes, you see, Cap can throw the shield and it almost always goes back to him, even if he misses his intended target.


Also, defense wise, the Shield can completely nullify some of the strongest attacks from Marvel's Heavy Hitters. This also helps Captain America withstand multiple levels of punishment that would otherwise, have killed him entirely.


But the best advantage the shield has is of course, it is capable of doing tremendous stuff with team mates. I mean, check this out.

Captain America and Iron Man team attack!!

Yeah, the Shield is basically a versatile tool for any situation :D!!!!






Mjolnir 

You will face the God of Thunder!!!!!! Oops, wrong guy, my bad XD!!!

 



















You would think only a God would wield the legendary Mjolnir, nah uh.



Captain America is one of the very few characters to be worthy of wielding Mjolnir. Of course, Captain America may not be even close to as skilled with Mjolnir as Thor, but he is still quite capable of producing wonders.

Captain America manipulating Lightning using Mjolnir

While Cap's abilities with Mjolnir may seem basic compared to Thor, it is worth mentioning that Cap's Shield does help out with it's overwhelming versatility. You see, Cap can throw his Shield and then use Mjolnir to ricochet lighting towards his enemies, making it quite a formidable attack that is unpredictable.


Overall, Mjolnir boosts Captain America's Power by up to Eleven, and has made him even more badass :D!!





Skills

Show me your moves!!! (Captain Falcon Quote :D!!!)

Of course, Captain America is a trained soldier. What is a trained soldier good at? Combat Skills!!!!!


Captain America is one of the finest combatants in the Marvel Universe. While most would think he is mainly a brawler type, by no means is this truly the case. In fact, Cap is able to match both Wolverine and Black Panther, both of whom have mastered all forms of Martial Arts. And it is surprising to believe, but Captain America is also quite a skilled Marksman. Especially with regards to his accuracy with his Shield when he throws, he almost never misses his intended target.


However, Cap's greatest asset is his ability to be an effective commander. This alone actually inspired multiple superheroes to be his allies. Even better, Cap's tactics have proven to be hugely successful in the past, for the most part at least






Feats and Accomplishments

  














Captain America is one of Marel's most iconic characters. It comes to no surprise that The First Avenger has quite a resume to behold. Here is some of Cap's most notable feats

• Has officially, and cleanly, defeated Red Skull Multiple Times

• Defeated The Winter Soldier time and time again

• Has defeated Black Panther Twice

• Once fought Wolverine to a Stand still, who would have killed Cap in seconds but failed to do so XD!!!

• Defeated multiple Galactic Threats while helping the Avengers

• Using MCU Cap, he has defeated a bloodlusted Iron Man

• Took down himself..... Well it is actually due to space time continuum nonsense XD!!!!

• Is able to wield Mjolnir...... Badass!!! :D!!!!

• Portrayed by Chris Evans

• Has one of the coolest shields in all of fiction.  

Weaknesses

Pain. Suffering....... Death :(

  

















While Captain America is indeed a Hero, he is one of the easiest to take down effectively.


Firstly, while great for human standards, and far beyond a human at least, Captain America's weaknesses are, well, human level. You see, it is thanks to his Shield that he has survived multiple life threatening situations that if he had not used the Shield, he would be killed.


In fact, sometimes, a clever enough opponent would remove the shield from Captain America entirely, opening a perfect opportunity to pin him down and kill him. This has been done multiple times before, and even Cap struggled hard because of this.


What's worse, while Captain America did use firearms, he almost never used them as standard equipment. Which also brings up another flaw: Lack of versatile equipment.


While Cap has his Shield and occasionally Mjolnir, that is literally it. He has used multiple equipment in the past, but generally they are given to him by fellow team mates before hand. 


That said, despite his faults, Captain America is a real badass hero.







Summary

All Might
 

  











Advantages

• Is much stronger, even without the 60x multiplier

• Believe it or not, All Might is much faster than Captain America, even going as far as to actually be capable of dodging even Mjolnir's attacks entirely.

• Is significantly much more Durable than Cap

• More powerful abilities than Cap

• Always Smiles in Battle. 

• Christopher Sabat>Chris Evans

Disadvantages

Captain America

• More Skilled and Experienced

• The Shield will protect Cap from Most of All Might's Attacks

• More feats

Disadvantages

• Is not even close to All Might's Strength. Even without the 60x multiplier

• Far less Durable than All Might

• While having more equipment, Captain America's attacks are far less powerful than All Might's 

• Doesn't always smile while in battle

• While Chris Evans is a respectable actor, Christopher Sabat is just a timeless voice actor!!!

The Verdict

 














All Might vs Captain America is an interesting match up. However, as it turns out, this is actually a huge stomp in favor of All Might.



Stats wise, All Might sweeps cleanly. While Cap may be great for Human standards, unfortunately, All Might is far beyond Cap in every way possible. We are comparing a Superhero who can level city blocks with a standard attack vs a super soldier who at best can break through tough armor with his punches.

It also doesn't help Cap that All Might's speed is too much. While Cap can completely dodge bullets and even lightning from Thor and Storm, All Might's speed still edges out with the fact that he can literally take down 7 villains at once in a time span of 3 seconds. That is also factoring the distance it took for All Might to reach the villains to achieve it.



Durability wise, a nightmare for Cap. All Might can endure attacks from All for One, who is equal to All Might in terms of Strength. That already establishes All Might's edge in terms of Durability. Captain America is still Durable for human standards, but he is not durable enough to survive a City level attack.... That is without the shield.



With the Shield, Captain America does have a chance in that it helps him block most of All Might's Attacks. Funny enough, the Shield alone is what makes the match up go on longer than it seems. So you would think it closes the gap right? Unfortunately, nope.


While Cap's shield carries him in the fight, All Might is more than capable of three things.

1. Dodge the Shield Throw Entirely  
2. Stop the Shield dead on it's tracks by simply grabbing it or even smack it down so it won't come back to Cap. 
3. Pull the Shield from Captain America's Arm entirely, disarming him.

Yeah......... While a great tool for any fight, it is not great for "This" fight.



But at last, we go into Cap's final straw: Mjolnir. 



While this drastically helps Cap even the playing field, again, All Might still has the power level to surpass it. In fact, even without the multiplier, I am confident to believe that All Might is more than capable of dodging all of Mjolnir's lightning and it's attacks. 


But, with regards to the multiplier, if All Might is at his peak, He would end this fight in less than a second. I mean, Cap is going to die from this.....

The United States of Smash is already too much for Captain America to handle. What is worse, even if Cap raised the Shield to block the attack, the momentum of the attack would actually drive Cap deeper into the ground, which would ultimately break his bones in the process. 


Even if Cap is more skilled and experienced, all those do not matter if the opponent is far superior to him in terms of power. In fact, Captain America has never defeated Thor or Hulk in a 1v1 fight using skills at all.



So, Thanks to his Stats, Powers, his smile, Christopher Sabat, being my fictional idol, and My Hero Academia being an absolute badass series, I believe that All Might will prevail "With a Smile on his Face"

The Winner is All Might

Next Time on Who Would Win.........

Shoto Todoroki (My Hero Academia) vs Glacius (Killer Instinct)
  

Season 4: Flik (A Bug's Life) vs Z (Antz)

Greetings and Welcome to another edition of my "Who Would Win" Series and it is going to be Flik from A Bug's Life vs Z from Antz.



For this match up. I decided to focus on the movies as the source of information.




Flik will have his entire equipment at his disposal so he can have the highest level of power he can possibly get.




As for Z, he will have equipment that he has used throughout the "Antz" film, as he has consistently used them in key moments of the film





Finally, I will look into the Base stats, Skills, Items, Feats, Weaknesses and finally, who I personally believe will win this fight





So, let's begin this epic of miniature proportions (A Bug's Life tagline :D!!!!!!!)








Flik

In a world of miniature proportions, an Ant Colony on "Ant Island" is constantly feeding food to a ruthless gang of Grasshoppers led by "Hopper". 


The Colony managed to meet the Quota in time. All is well until a silly ant named Flik ruined everything. You see, Flik attempted to speed up production by inventing a Harvester that would prove to be beneficial to the Colony's Production rate.


Unfortunately, the ants denied Flik's idea and instead, forced him to get rid of the machine. After a while, the Grasshoppers arrived at Ant Island and before they touched down, Flik accidentally dumped all of the food from the offering stone into a pond. 



After a tense moment with Hopper, the Ants were forced to do a "Double the Amount" procedure. 


Realizing that the only way to stop these problems, Flik thought of an idea. He wants to get help from the outside world in order to finally get rid of the Grasshoppers. After much deliberation, the Council and Princess Atta agreed to send Flik on an adventure to get help.........




This is where it get's funny. You see, Flik was suppose to get "Warrior Bugs". Turns out, he got a gang of bugs, but they were Circus Bugs who just got out of business due to a failed "Flaming Death" plan (It was a blockbuster for the crowd at least XD!!!)



After Flik returned with the Bugs, they were greeted as heroes. Unfortunately, as the Bug's realized that they will be killing the Grasshoppers, they decided to try and flee from Ant Island for good......



As Flik tried to stop them, a Bird managed to stop their plans and made them go back to Ant Island.



Thankfully, the Bug's did have an extended stay, and this time, after the Bird incident, Flik thought of an Idea: To build a Bird to scare off the Grasshoppers.



This idea managed to be almost perfect........... Unfortunately, things went downhill, as P.T Flea, the boss of the Circus, managed to find his lost Bugs. This resulted in Flik being branded as a liar, who was then banished out of Ant Island for his stupidity.



Soon after, Princess Dot managed to find Flik with the Circus Bugs and begged them to return to Ant Island. Turns out, Hopper and his gang returned and because the Ants did not meet the Quota, they were forced to find all food on the island non stop.


Flik, after being motivated by Dot, managed to devise a plan to rescue the Ants from the Grasshoppers.

After an epic battle, Flik and his friends managed to get rid the Grasshoppers using the bird they built, killing Hopper by luring him to the "Real" bird, scaring off the Grasshoppers which prevented Ant Island from giving them food permanently, and gained the trust of the colony for eternity. In fact, in the aftermath, Flik's inventions became the cornerstone of the Colony's Food Production......... Talk about a happy ending :D!!!






That is a straightforward background of Flik. Now, let's see what this friendly Ant is capable of.







Strength

Flik attempting to pull back the Food onto the offering stone

Despite his miniature size, Flik is actually pretty strong. Ants in the real world are capable of lifting anything that is around 10 times their own size, Flik, is no exception. Here is a list of Strength feats.

• Flik can hold back the Leaf that was holding a mountain load of food. While this actually resulted in all of the food being dumped into the pond, and the feat itself meant nothing in the end, there are a couple of factors to consider. You see, Flik was able to slow down the leaf as it was sliding down, which still makes Flik quite strong.

• Helped Princess Atta and a group of Ants and Bugs lift up half an Acorn

• Can pluck a Dandelion's Seedhead with no effort

• Can perfectly scale to all the Worker ants of the Colony. One Ant in particular was able to carry a huge fruit ontop of his shoulders.

Speed

Flik is actually very fast in terms of Speed. Here is a list of Speed feats for Flik

• As the Grasshoppers arrived, Flik was able to outpace their flight speed just before they reached the ground. The Grasshoppers are quick enough to dodge rain drops and travel at speeds that are equal to a racing car

• In a split second, Flik ran from Princess Atta and went off screen... Twice. The Second Time was a "Thank You" and then a kiss on the cheek

• Ran so fast after looking at the Bird's Nest, even Heimlich the Caterpillar admitted that "He is fast for a little guy"

Durability

 












Flik is.... well, kinda poor in terms of durability. That said, let's think positive and look at what Flik is able to survive

• Went head first into a rock while flying the Dandelion Seedhead. Flik was fine afterwards

• Was beaten up by Thumper multiple times.

• Was flung backwards after his harvester got caught onto a strand of grass

• Got choked by Hopper and survived long enough to see Hopper get eaten by the Bird and her chicks afterwards

• Was slapped by Tuck and Roll........ XD!!!

Skills
Flik is without a doubt, the most intelligent ant of Ant Island. Funny enough, all the other ants are simple minded and too strict with their rules. Flik on the other hand thinks outside of the box, and this mindset makes him quite resourceful.

It is also Flik's idea to build the bird to scare off the grasshoppers, and it was Flik's plan to save the Colony. Both plans were successful (Even though the bird was burnt, the idea still worked since the Grasshoppers fell for the trick XD!!!!) 


Finally, Flik is all round, a great inventor, which means......





Equipment

Flik and his Adventure Gear

   










Flik has a load of items at his disposal. Here is a list of his standard equipment.


Adventure Gear: Well, the Adventure Gear is simply a camping gear set. Flik has a tent and a hat...... That's really it XD!!!



Telescope: Flik uses a telescope for recon. He can make one using a strand of grass and water.

The Telescope

Harvester: Flik uses a Harvester to help speed up production. While this ultimately was a disaster at first, since the Ants started using it in the end of the movie, I will consider this item as a factor XD!!!.

The Harvester

Capabilities wise, The Harvester has a circular buzzsaw, and a sling mechanism that can throw heavy projectiles at great distances. It also has a storage pouch to increase storage capacity.







Feats for Flik

 




Flik has done a fair bit of accomplishments in A Bug's Life. Here is a list of feats 

• Has officially, and cleanly, got rid of the Grasshoppers once and for all thanks to his plans

• Saved Ant Island

• Redeemed himself by the end of the movie

• Invented some of the best items for the good of the Colony :D!!!!!

• Flik alone is one of the very few likable Ants in "A Bug's Life".

Weaknesses

 








Unfortunately, Flik is interesting with regards to weaknesses. The most important thing to remember is that Flik has No Combat experience. Even by the end of the film, Flik never had any form of combat training that would other wise make him a competent fighter.


In fact, when Flik had to fight Thumper, Flik was annihilated. Even Flik would have died multiple times if not for intervention. For instance, had Princess Atta not step in at the last moment, Hopper would have squashed Flik.



Finally, with regards to Flik, he has a tendency to have very bad luck. No matter how hard he tries, Flik somehow makes things worse in the end. Thankfully, A Bug's Life did end with Flik overcoming this flaw, though it is still a consistent flaw to consider.





Despite this, Flik is quite a great character. Flik is friendly, smart and very inspiring.






Z


 

























Z Marion-4195, better known as just "Z", is a worker Ant who lived with the Ant Colony since birth. 



In the colony, there are two types of Ants, there are the Worker Ants, who serve as the laborers of the Colony such as Digging, Royal Care and Festivities. And there are the Soldier Ants, who are the military and police force of the Colony. Z, unfortunately, has the life of a Worker who always envied the Soldier Ants for having the more exciting experiences in life such as adventure.



One day, Z heard of a legendary place called "Insectopia", by a drunken drone ant. Funny enough, everybody, including Z, thought it was just a myth. At the same time, Z met the most beautiful Ant in the Colony named "Princess Bala", who asked him for a dance...... This drastically changed Z's life forever.....

Z dancing with Princess Bala

After a night full of dancing and a bar fight that resulted in Bala escaping the scene, Z immediately fell in love with  Bala and finally found a purpose in life. So, in order to try and see her again, Z pleaded his best friend Weaver to swap places with him in order to achieve his dream. 



The next day, Z took Weaver's spot as a Soldier and planned to meet Bala at a Royal Meeting for the Soldiers. Unfortunately, this was a hilariously out of place plan, as Z actually took Weaver's spot to participate in the Termite War. This resulted in Z going into battle, and luckily, Z survived the fight and was the sole survivor of the horrific event.


As Z returned to the Colony, he became a "War Hero". This also gave Z the opportunity to meet Princess Bala once again. But, as it turns out, Bala managed to snuff out Z as the guy at the bar who danced with her..... Right infront of the Queen and General Mandible. This branded Z as a stalker and a criminal. As the guards tried to arrest Z, who was holding Bala hostage, both Z and Bala were dumped outside of the Colony through a pipeline. 


Afterwards, the police attempted to rescue Bala, until a giant magnifying glass ruined everything, forcing Z and Bala to go further from the Colony. After the ordeal, Z found out that the legend of Insectopia was indeed true, after seeing the Monolith.

The Monolith

After a brief disagreement, Bala finally followed Z while he attempted to find Insectopia. Turns out, Z and Bala are definitely on the right track, as they found the land with "Red and White".

Z and Bala at the Land of Red and White

Initially, Z and Bala thought this place was Insectopia........... unfortunately, it is just a picnic spot for a huge monster.... You see, during their visit, Bala was kidnapped by the Giant and Z attempted to rescue her. This in turn changed Bala's opinion of Z, from a clueless idiot into a more heroic individual.



After being stuck in chewing gum underneath the Giant's shoe, Z and Bala were then sent towards a strange place, turns out it was this.....

Insectopia

Finally, Z and Bala arrived at Insectopia. All went well, everything was magical..... until Colonel Cutter, General Mandible's Right hand man, took Bala back to the Colony.....


Z, returned to the Colony to rescue Bala thanks to the help of his Wasp friend Chippy. 


Z successfully found Bala, but, as it turns out, General Mandible devised a plan to assassinate the Queen and wipe out all the Worker Ants from the face of the earth by making them dig towards the lake. 



Z and Bala attempted to prevent this from happening, unfortunately, the Work Supervisor ignored the warning and as a result, caused a huge tidal wave that literally trapped the Ants in the middle of no where. 


Left with just one option, Z planned an escape attempt: Making a ladder. Since Z's reputation as a War Hero and a Revolutionary is well known, the Colony accepted the plan with no hesitation. After a while, the Ant Ladder was a success, as Z helped the ants reach the top, saved the worker Ants and, after General Mandible's death, all the Ants became a single Colony once more...... Turns out, Z and Bala were married and returned to Insectopia for the rest of their lives.





That is a detailed background for Z. Now, let's see what this curious Ant is capable of 






Strength

Z, by all intents and purposes, is one of the strongest Ants around. As it turns out, Z is far from your average joe. Here is a list of surprising strength feats for Z.

• Managed to hold this........

which also caused this.........

DESTRUCTION!!!

Turns out, Z is capable of holding over hundreds of Ants for a moment. While yes, Z did drop the "Wrecking Ball", it is worth mentioning that he did so because he was afraid of Heights and was Noxious. Had Z not have this flaw, he would have certainly held the ball far longer than what is shown in the scene. Since Z may not have this flaw anymore by the end of the movie, it is very likely he will attempt the same level of strength with greater resolve and determination.

• Can dig into dense walls of stone. By ant standards, this is very strong, as stone is literally too tough for some ant species to break, except for Z and his fellow Ants.

• Pulled Princess Bala from the Chewing Gum, which was attached to the Abraham Lincoln coin. What is more impressive however, is that Z had to first free himself from the gum, which would be extremely difficult to do so because the gum was tough enough to not even let go of Bala when Z attempted to rescue her earlier in the movie. Since Z did get out of the gum himself, he would have to extert over 16 times his own body weight in order to pull himself out. This is equal to a man pulling a truck by himself!!!!!!!!!

• Broke through the Colony's Ceiling, which caused a fissure. 

• Lifted a piece of Wood above his shoulders. 

Speed

Z and Bala running from the Magnifying Glass Fire Beam

 














 



Z is extremely fast. Here is a list of Speed feats achieved by Z.

• Managed to at least match a Soldier Ant's Running Speed. Soldier Ants are physically superior to the Worker Ants in every regard.

•  Outran a Termite. What is impressive here is that Z also avoided the Termite's Acid attack at the same time. Ultimately, Z fell into a hole and the Termite died afterewards XD!!!! 

Z fleeing from a Termite

• Outpaced the Magnifying Glass' Fire beam.

• Avoided the Giant Shoe's stomp. Because Z was in the middle of the shoe's landing point as it attempted to land on the ground, in order for Z to avoid it, his speed would be borderline faster than the eye can track speeds

• Climbed onto the Ant Ladder to the Top in a timespan of 16 seconds. The size of the ladder is the same height as a skyscraper.

• Outran the Tidal Wave.

Durability

In terms of Durability, Z has quite alot of Durability feats that make him pretty tough for an Ant. Here is a list of Feats.

•  Was punched numerous times during the bar fight. The next day, Z had no signs of bruises.

• Z fell alongside a cliffside and landed on 3 platforms before hitting the ground. However, another factor coming into this feat is that Bala also landed ontop of Z (Do not get the wrong idea XD!!!!) while falling down together. Amazingly, Z and Bala did not suffer any serious injuries from the fall.

• While being stuck to the coin thanks to the chewing gum, Z and Bala were thrown towards Insectopia. Feat wise, the impact of the fall would be equal to that of a plane crash for Ant standards. However, the real kick to this feat is that the gum would have reduced the impact, which saved Z and Bala's lives anyway. Still, for Z and Bala to survive it, makes it very impressive anyway

•  Was punched by Princess Bala that knocked him backwards

• Can scale to the Worker Ants who survived the Wrecking Ball's Drop. The impact of the ball would be equal to that of a building crushing down. Amazingly, not a single ant died from the ordeal.

Equipment
Z has used two types od equipment over the course of the film. He has used:


Pickaxe: A Pickaxe that is used for digging. The standard Worker Ant tool  
  

Pickaxe

Spear: The Spear is the Soldier Ant's main weapon. While Z has never used it despite being in battle against the Termite's, for the sake of a "Fight", Z is more than capable of at least using it for combat if he needs it. 



The Spear is shown to be great for both close range and long range, as Soldier Ants were seen throwing them towards the Termites.

The Spear

Feats for Z

 











Z has accomplished a fair share of feats. Here is a list of Feats achieved by Z.

• Has officially, and..... well, strangely, survived the Termite War by doing absolutely nothing that contributed to the outcome of the war XD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Is a symbol of revolution for the Worker Ants due to his choice of swapping from Worker Ant to a Soldier

• Rescued Bala from the Giant and from the Coin 

• Officially found Insectopia

• Has Rescued the Colony from General Mandible's genocide

•  Married Princess Bala and returned to Insectopia

• Voiced by Woody Allen.

Weaknesses 

Z Dropped the Ball.....

While Z is a Hero, by no means  he is a superhero.


Z is one of the most inexperienced combatants in fiction, as he has very rarely, if at all, fought anyone one on one in his lifetime. For the most part, Z is just a Worker Ant who, well, Works. Rinse and Repeat.


Also, Z has a fear of heights, which is the reason why he dropped the Wrecking Ball. This was not because Z was weak, it was because heights just makes Z more nervous. 


Z is also scared of experiences that he has no prep time for. For instance, before the battle with the Termite's, Z was so scared that he was shocked by the result of the battle first hand. 



However, despite all of the faults, Z is actually, one of the most likable animated characters of all time. Z is funny, heroic and above all, just an ant with ideas :D!!!!  






Summary

Flik

 

  










Advantages

• Has more equipment.

• Is more creative

Disadvantages

• Laughably outclassed in terms of Stats

• Far less impressive Feats

 

• While Flik's Harvester is versatile, it is also a cumbersome piece of equipment that actually slows Flik's Speed substantially, which can be taken advantage of by Z. 

• Not sure if the Telescope is going to do anything to Z

Z

  













Advantages

• Is much more Stronger, Faster and Durable than Flik

  

• More impressive Feats

• Since Flik's Harvester actually slows him down, Z is more than capable of avoiding it's circular buzzsaws entirely. Even the projectiles launched from the sling would be too slow to reach Z anyway

• Flik has a Telescope.......... It is not going to be a factor here XD!!!!!

Disadvantages

• Less equipment

• Not as Creative as Flik

The Verdict

 
  











Flik vs Z is one of the most entertaining match ups for my "Who Would Win" Series. Funny enough, this is actually quite a good fight for the most part. Unfortunately, while good, it does not mean it is "Close".



Before I cut the wire, let's look at the stats.


Strength wise, this is Z's edge. While Flik can briefly pull a leaf full of large grain and fruit for a moment on his own, I can't exactly calculate the amount of weight for the feat. However, even if that's the case, Z's feat with holding hundreds of Ants is still far more impressive. Not to mention, Z's Strength is just all round much more over the top compared to Flik. I mean, we are having an Ant who can simply crush through stone walls on a daily basis against an Ant who, well, really doesn't have anything close to that level.




Speed wise, this is actually a stomp in favor of Z. Both Flik and Z are very fast, but Z's Speed feat against the Magnifying Glass Beam already makes him way faster than Flik. While Flik can run fast for a little guy, Z is faster due to more impressive feats. 


Durability wise, oh boy, this is another win for Z. As it turns out, Z is almost 10 times more durable than Flik........ That alone actually seals the deal. Z wins this fight due to his overwhelming Stats.



Even if you factor in Flik's Creativity and his inventions, they do not really mean much because Z could just use his Pickaxe to pierce through Flik's body like a pin cushion . It also doesn't help that Flik's Harvester would slow himself down significantly, making him pretty much a turtle compared to Z. And of course, Z could just use his Spear as a throwing weapon, which would nullify any chance for Flik to get up close and personal.



Even if Flik does try and make a new weapon against Z, we have never seen Flik invent anything that is sharp enough to kill anyone. In fact, Flik had multiple opportunities to make a weapon against the Grasshoppers. But strangely enough, he never seems to do it. 



So, thanks to his Stats and his Weapons, I believe that Z will win this match up and finally put an end to the Ant War. Oh well, look's like an "Antz Life" ended, and guess what? This turned out to be a gruesome Flik........ XD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Winner is Z

Next Time on Who Would Win............
