Star Wars: Can these 15 comic book characters beat Darth Vader?
By Mark Lynch
2. Spider-Man
Spider-Man talks about the Parker Luck. What he doesn’t talk about or acknowledge is the prosperity that comes with being Spider-Man. Sure, he’s been beaten down and hurt in creative ways. Nevertheless, Spidey has defied death hundreds of times. Once he actually did die. But, through the Spider-Totem, he was able to shed his skin and come back to life (read Spider-Man: Other - Evolve or Die for more on that) .
This may sound far-fetched, but Spider-Man can win a fight with Darth Vader. Spidey always overcomes. He has a gift for finding the weakness in his opponents. He’s also smart enough to not stay in a fight he can’t win. Spidey wins this fight by outsmarting Vader or by taking out his suit.
1. Batman
Last, but not least, we have Batman. Comic book fans may have grown tired of the phrase, “Because he’s Batman.” It’s an overused trope used by non-comic book fans or people making jokes. Does the Dark Knight find ways to overcome unbeatable odds? Absolutely. This may not be one of these times.
Batman is just a man. Most of Bruce Wayne’s tech is outdated compared to what Darth Vader uses (even if Star Wars happened “A long time ago”). Unfortunately, there’s another phrase that has to be used: “Batman wins with prep time.”
There are many comic book or Star Wars characters that can beat the mind of Bruce Wayne with enough time. It wouldn’t take long for Bruce to find a way to not only beat Vader, but the entire Empire.
