Star Wars: Can these 15 comic book characters beat Darth Vader?
By Mark Lynch
10. Battle Beast
The Battle Beast viewers saw in the Invincible cartoon is only part of how great he is. The one in the comics is stronger than almost anything you’ve seen. He’s strong enough to slaughter The Boys‘ unstoppable Homelander.
Vader has never faced anyone like Battle Beast. Battle Beast lives for the glory of the fight and the thrill of finding someone who can kill him. He’s someone that could physically fight through Vader’s force chokes. Furthermore, this writer isn’t sure that his Lightsaber could stop Battle Beast before he kills Vader with his hands around his throat.
9. Invincible
This one is tricky. Sometimes, the Invincible in the comic books show him dominating his fights. Other times he loses ones that seem to be simple. It’s like he fights to the level of his competition. Mark Grayson can beat Vader if he’s focused. If he isn’t, it will be over quickly.
Mark has to bob and weave and hope that he can use his speed to beat Vader and he could be powerful enough to fight off the Force. Mark’s disadvantage is that he’s mentally weak. Vader will exploit that. Too bad that may not be enough to beat Invincible. He isn’t strong enough to beat him and there’s nothing he can do to Mark that hasn’t been done to him before.
