Ozymandias vs Hunter Rose

Always thought this match could be good since both characters are peak human. Both in character and start thirty feet apart with standard equipment on top a skyscraper in New York City in broad daylight. All comic feats apply no prep.

I really like this matchup... Grendel (this one, at least) and Ozymandias remind me of each other so much.

I haven't read much into Grendel, but from what I've heard he stalemated a werewolf named Argent. Any other good feats for him? I'm reserving judgment until I know more.

I'm fairly familiar with Ozy.

Ozymandias is fast so he wins

I would love to see Hunter Rose used more often

Feats for Hunter Rose?

I've never seen feats posted for Hunter Rose, and am curious also.

Grendel automatically wins if this is true:

He could deflect bullets fired at him from point blank range back at their shooter.

Yeah, Grendel stomps, if the wiki is correct:

The first time they meet, Grendel is able to sneak up Batman without detection and kicks him off a roof. The second time, they clash briefly but Grendel leads him on a chase and runs away, since his plan had not yet reached fruition. Batman remarks on his lightning speed. The third time, Batman manages to beat him in hand-to-hand combat after a lengthy fight, breaking his arm and pulling off his mask--only to find that he has replicated his mask on his face using make-up. Grendel then escapes.

Oh hell, I was just going to make this battle.

I think it would be a great fight.

Anyone else looking for scans for Hunter, please check out my respect thread.

Also an interesting question: who had more of a long-term impact on their world? Ozymandias obviously instituted world peace through enormous manipulation of world events and powerful characters, while Rose was "only" a hugely successful crime boss. BUT, Hunter's legacy extended down to multiple other Grendel's taking his name, leading ultimately to a world-wide Grendel cult after a nuclear war, and culminating in Orion Assante taking over the world, essentially creating a world-wide religion in Hunter's name. @nelomaxwell, any thoughts? I don't remember Ozymandias's speed in the comics in terms of specific feats, but in the movie he catches a bullet and engages in combat against Rorschach, Night Owl, and Silk Spectre at speeds far beyond what the others can match, defeating them all.

Ozy, but he is gonna have to work for it.

@owie: This is a toss up. I'd say 5/10 either way. I don't think his speed was the issue. None of the other people were as skilled as he was, he trained far harder than the others did. I think based on Hunter's opponents he could stack up to Ozy.

Yeah, I definitely don't think Hunter is going to do worse than 5/10. As is often the case I think his fork may give him the edge. Without that, probably 5/10 like you say.

I'm re thinking this. Who has Ozy fought to make him a contender? Hunter 7/10.
