  • Wiz: This episode of Death Battle is brought to you by Netflix.

  • Wiz: The gods of thunder may endure eternal rule, but in the ring together, they are anything but immortal.

  • Boomstick: The mighty Thor, prince of Asgard

  • Wiz: And lord Raiden, defender of Earth Realm.

  • Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

  • Wiz: And it's our job to analze their weapons, armor, and skill to find out who would win,

  • A DEATH BATTLE!!

  • Boomstick: In Norse mythology, Thor is the god of thunder, strength, healing and... oak trees?

  • Well, regardless, he was badass enough to get his own comic book.

  • Wiz: Thor Odinson was conceived between the All-Father and Earth's Elder Goddess

  • with the intent of creating the strongest man in the universe.

  • He can lift over a million tons, move at supersonic speeds, never feel exhaustion, survive the vacuum of space and talk with frogs.

  • Boomstick: He's immune to poison, burns and electrocution.

  • And he can survive the heat of the sun or even a planet bursting explosion.

  • Well, I guess that's what happens when God bangs the Earth.

  • Wiz: While Thor is not invulnerable, he is augmented by his Godly status and a fraction of the all-powerful Odin Force sealed within Mjolnir, his enchanted hammer.

  • Boomstick: THAT'S his weapon? I think it's way too tiny!

  • I mean, if he was the God of mending fences or something, I guess I could-

  • WOAH! OH SHIT! NEVER MIND!

  • Wiz: Mjolnir is mystically bound to Thor and obeys him as if it were alive.

  • And if it were any larger, it would be too heavy to wield.

  • Boomstick: So, it's not the size of his hammer, it's how he uses it.

  • Wiz: It was forged by Dwarves using the core of a dying star, which went supernova and killed all the dinosaurs.

  • Boomstick: Yeah, forget anything I said earlier. I'm liking the dino slaughtering hammer. Where can I get one?

  • Wiz: Mjolnir can only be wielded by Thor.

  • Boomstick: Aw.

  • Wiz: Although there is a workaround.

  • Red Hulk once carried the hammer into space because Thor was still holding onto it.

  • Which may be one of the dumbest technicalities ever.

  • Boomstick: But Ma-jol-near's not the only thing in Thor's arsenal.

  • He wears the Belt of Strength, which, surprise, doubles his already powerful might.

  • Wiz: And naturally, as the God of Thunder, Thor can manipulate the weather.

  • Storms, tornadoes, the wind, he can even summon deadly bolts of lightning.

  • Boomstick: He also has some control over the Earth.

  • He can make earthquakes that span entire continents.

  • Wiz: Thor has fought and defeated many of the most powerful warriors in the Marvel universe.

  • He has mastered enough martial arts to box Captain America to a standstill,

  • and has even overpowered the Hulk.

  • Although, in the past, he could lose his powers when separated from his hammer.

  • Boomstick: Which is pretty stupid considering his main method of attack is throwing the damn thing!

  • Wiz: But through some convoluted magic absurdity, this is no longer a problem.

  • In fact, he has no specific physical weaknesses, though he does suffer from a superiority complex.

  • Arrogant and eager to fight, he often ignores even the most perceptible risks.

  • Boomstick: I like him!

  • Thor: Next?

  • Wiz: According to Japanese legend, Raiden is the God of Thunder and Storms who, when angered, devours the stomachs of children as they sleep.

  • Boomstick: Mmm, child haggis! Just like mom used to make!

  • Well, whenever he's had his fill of defenceless sleeping children, I guess he decided to protect the Earth from evil.

  • Wiz: Raiden is the defender of Earthrealm and a key leader in shielding it from the forces of Shao Kahn's Outworld.

  • Boomstick: He's a master of several different fighting styles and amps them up with powerful electric attacks!

  • He sometimes wields a wooden staff, but generally prefers his fists!

  • From the mobile kicks of Tae Kwan Do to the anti-armour combat of Ju-Jitsu,

  • Raiden's wide variety of fighting styles compliment each other perfectly to take down any kind of opponent.

  • Boomstick: This Thunder God uses several lightning charged special attacks!

  • Like the Vicinity Blast, Electric Fly and the shocking touch!

  • Not to mention when finishing his foes, he discharges so much electricity into them that they combust!

  • The sheer power of these lightning attacks apparently overload his brain, causing him to spout out random gibberish in mid-attack.

  • Raiden: *Random Gibberish*
