War Machine, Steel, Hardware, & Technique VS Fourth Reich

Stark Industries and the Ironworks get intel on a plot by the Fourth Reich to assassinate the President and take over Washington D.C. in 72 hours. Iron Man has also been taken hostage by the Nazi Supremacists and is being tortured in order to create weapons for them and their army of loyal non-powered Neo Nazis. Furious, Jim Rhodes calls Steel and company and asks for help.

War Machine, Steel, Hardware, Technique

VS

Baroness Blitzkrieg, Captain Nazi, White Dragon, Hunter, Shadow of War, Green Ghoul, Count Berlin, Captain Swastika, Doctor Demon, Baron Gestapo, Captain Murder, White Dragon (William Heller), Reichsmark, Swastika

Fourth Reich does NOT get the Darkness Engine

Win by KO, Incap, or Death

Hello, fellow 'Viners! How do you think this one plays out? (trying to infuse some new blood via more obscure, but powerful characters into the Battle Forums. You get tired of the same old "Superman VS Hulk" threads!;)

Pretty sure Captain Nazi solos, doesn't he?

Team 1 wins, some of these villains are street levelers while a few are serious business. I think this really comes down to Team 1 vs Reichsmark, Captain Nazi, Blitzkrieg and Shadow of War. The Afro-mechanic heroes win due to prep, otherwise they'd get washed out by Cap Nazi alone.

@joygirl:

Maybe. Maybe not. Don't forget that Steel and Hardware have three days prep to get ready for that psycho and his teammates. That would certainly mean a call to their peer Mr. Terrific to cross reference his files with theirs on the Reich. The White King didn't do too bad when it was his life on the line against Captain Nazi.

That said, Steel's Kinetic Hammer (as just one possible example) has arguably much higher damage output than the T-Spheres (which are no joke by the way. I'm just sayin'...). Do you think that the intangible factor of three Black Super geniuses and a Black former merc's motivation to beat these Nazi bastards just on principle will play a part here?

@heraldofganthet: They'll play their part and put up a fight but Cpt. Nazi also isn't the only threat here, just the biggest one. They'll have to be handling the whole Reich while Cpt. Nazi can beat any of them with ease.

Cap Nazi would only solo without prep, Steel's armors have taken beatings from Supergirl, Eradicator and Doomsday so I think he's probably the toughest on team 1. To be honest, Steel can easily slow down Captain Nazi with one of these...

This was a non-lethal prototype. He has more dangerous gear that he can put him down with, but the hammer alone put Eradicator on his ass.

The Fourth Reich.

Limited knowledge here.

@nefarious: @joygirl: Steel have acess to Kryptonian technology too....so everyone would be BFRed to the Phantom Zone.

@matchesmalone21:

This is exactly true, John Irons and Lex Luthor are the two foremost human experts on Kryptonian technology/DNA (Batman being a close third). For this reason especially I disallowed BFR from the win conditions. Good memory though!

@nefarious:

The Fourth Reich.

How do you think they pull it off?

@ancient_0f_days: Great scans, mon ami! And yes, while Steel has devoted his life post-Amertek to the development of non-lethal weaponry for Meta Law Enforcement Agencies, he still has what it takes to create the fatal stuff.

Given the right motivation, of course...

@heraldofganthet: I think they overhwelm them.

well considering this is comic vine i am sure everybody would want the fourth reich to win. but steel just uses entropy aegis armor to solo

read the OP

i did i just put that anyway

I don't know the majority of these characters. So I'm going to stay out of this

@nefarious:

I think they overhwelm them.

I'm not entirely sure about War Machine's armor, but I know that the onboard computers in Steel's and Hardware's armors have good multiple target tracking abilities. Steel's Kinetic Hammer alone is capable of tracking/dispatching multiple targets.

Admittedly the deck is stacked against the heroes, but they should be able to at least deal with the barrage. I think...

@heraldofganthet: Agree. I'm also not familiar with Hardware and most of the Reich.
