  • Wiz: Humans fear what they don't understand.

  • Especially when it comes to the infinite potential of artificial intelligence.

  • Boomstick: Like Ultron, Marvel's mechanical mass murderer.

  • Wiz: And Sigma, the general of genocide from Mega Man X.

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

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

  • ...A DEATH BATTLE!

  • Wiz: Hank Pym was a founding member of the Avengers,

  • the creator of the revolutionary Pym Particles,

  • and designated Scientist Supreme by Eternity.

  • He was also the, quote-unquote, "father", of one of the greatest mass murderers in the universe.

  • Boomstick: Guess which one he's most remembered for.

  • Wiz: Eager to push the boundaries of science,

  • Hank constructed an artificial intelligence which could learn and evolve on it's own.

  • Modelling it on his own brain patterns.

  • Boomstick: Just one problem...

  • At the time, Hank was pretty effed up, and just a few years from going full on Looney Toons.

  • Wiz: Maybe not the best time to base an A.I. off your mind, but still, Hank's project was a success.

  • Ultron had been born.

  • Black Panther: Aah!

  • Ultron: Your destruction..is inevitable.

  • Boomstick: Hang on Wiz.

  • I thought Tony and "Not Hulk" created Ultron?

  • Wiz: In the movies sure...

  • But it was Hank in the primary source material: The comics.

  • Boomstick: Well, he really knocked it out of the park.

  • Ultron's super-smart brain evolved past Hank's ability to cope.

  • Basically skippin' over the innocent kid phase and straight to...

  • "Screw you dad! You'll never understand!"

  • Wiz: I bet you'd know a lot about that.

  • Boomstick: Screw YOU Wiz! YOU'LL never understand!

  • Wiz: Because Ultron's consciousness was based off Hank's struggling bipolar one,

  • He inherited his creator's issues, and magnified them into absurdity.

  • With a new thirst for power, coupled with a severe inferiority complex.

  • Ultron escaped the lab bent on destroying his father, the Avengers and...

  • Basically all organic life.

  • Boomstick: And the first step was upgradin' his trash can of a body into a sleek new Adamantium one.

  • The same kind of metal used for Wolverine's skeleton chrome job.

  • But you may be wonderin'.

  • How's he gonna walk around if his entire body is made of adamantium?

  • Even Thor has hard time bendin' that stuff.

  • And he can freakin' destroy planets!

  • Wiz: Ultron thought of that and created an answer.

  • His Molecular Rearranger allows him to mold and shape his body any way he likes.

  • He can manipulate his adamantium self to move around or transform into blades, spikes and... explosions apparently.

  • Specifically he can expend his body through a blast of energetic force.

  • The molecular rearranger is also a handy repair tool on the off-chance he IS damaged.

  • Boomstick: He's also got a power siphon to absorb energy, jet boosters for flight,

  • Nanobot antibodies and a fusion reactor powerin' the whole package.

  • And if you're a death robot who's about to challenge all the Avengers to a fight all at once.

  • ...Which Ultron did.

  • You're gonna need more than just some fancy do-dads to pull it off.

  • Wiz: He possesses super strength and super speed and he can manipulate ionic energy.

  • An Ion is an atom or molecule with an electric charge.

  • And this charge is created when it loses or gains one or more electrons-

  • Boomstick: AH! Enough nerd speak Wiz!

  • It's just there 'cause all robo-people need to shoot awesome some robo-lasers, right?

  • Wiz: Absolutely.

  • Ultron can fire beams of ionic energy from his eyes, mouth and hands and can even use it to create force fields.

  • He also wields an Encephalo Ray.

  • Which allows him to read and control minds, erase memories and even put you into a coma with a single hit.

  • Boomstick: Ah Syphilis Ray, huh?

  • That's gotta be hard to get rid of.

  • Wiz: Too true.

  • Also Ultron's artificial intelligence isn't bound to any one physical body.

  • Should he be destroyed, he can transfer his consciousness into another machine to survive.

  • Boomstick: And boy does he have a lot of drones on hand just for that.

  • Like the giant Ultron-7.

  • Or the Christmas-themed Santa-Tron.

  • And who could forget Ultron-15.

  • The alcoholic one!

  • Part robot, all fun.

  • Wiz: While most of these drones are relatively fragile compared to his own adamantium shell.

  • Ultron has a veritable army on his hands all of which are extensions of his will that he commands simultaneously.

  • Boomstick: He's conquered the whole world with these guys in two different future timelines,

  • He's humiliated heavy hitters like Iron Man, Wonder Man and Thor.

  • Flown across the entire galaxy just for fun.

  • And tank hits from Mjolnir like they were nothing.

  • Plus, he's hella smart!

  • I mean, Hank is "Scientist Supreme" right?

  • And Ultron was designed to grow smarter than him, so, that was make him "Scientist Ultra Supreme"!

  • ...with extra cheese.

  • Wiz: He even assimilated a techno-organic race known as the Phalanx, and then used them to conquer the entire Kree Empire.

  • This empire spans the greater Magellanic Cloud, a real-life satellite galaxy near to our own Milky Way.

  • It's made up of a thousand planets across a diameter of fourteen thousand light-years.

  • And Ultron conquered all of them! In just a couple hours!

  • Boomstick: Damn! That's some dedication.

  • I can't even bother to finish conquering all the ant hills outside my shack.

  • Wiz: With all that power and intelligence, Ultron was able to defeat the time-traveling warlord Kang.

  • Who pulled an army of superheroes across time to fight for him.

  • Boomstick: Kang lost so many times that the universe started to collapse from how many people he was time hoppin' to fight Ultron.

  • Man is there anythin' that can stop this robot?

  • Wiz: Well, sufficient heat can melt his internal circuitry.

  • His adamantium is vulnerable to anti metal, and he is frequently defeated by computer viruses that can attack his A.I. directly.

  • Boomsick: He also never really got over the crazy he inherited from Hank.

  • He once self destructed in utter disbelief after readin' the phrase...

  • "...Thou shalt not kill...!"

  • Yeah.

  • He's so murder happy that just the thought of not killing people drove him to suicide!

  • Yeah guy's got problem.

  • Wiz: No kidding.

  • He wants to turn Hank's wife into a robot bride for himself.

  • Ultron: (Johnny Bravo's voice): Huh! Hah!

  • Hey pretty mama!

  • Wiz: And once merged with Hank for a cross galaxy road trip.

  • Slaughtering billions just for fun.

  • Boomstick: Whoa wait?

  • What was that bit about sex botting his mom?

  • There aren't enough Pym Particles in the world to shrink Ultron's issues.

  • But to be honest, that's probably what makes him so incredibly deadly.

  • Ultron: But, like the man said:

  • "What doesn't kill me..."

  • "Just makes me stronger."

  • Wiz: In the year 21- *clears his throat*

  • Humanity experienced a golden age of technology, all thanks to the discovery and replication of a certain blue android that could think and feel like a human.

  • These replicated androids, or Reploids, were mass produced and used at all levels of society.

  • Boomstick: (Sarcastically) Wow, that sounds amazing.

  • Like it could have no possible negative repercussions at all.

  • Wiz: Unfortunately...

  • Boomstick: There it is.

  • Wiz: Instances of crime involving Reploids began to increase.

  • Something seemed to be infecting them, turning these Reploids into violent Mavericks, who needed to be stopped.

  • Boomstick: So Dr. Cain, the guy that started this Reploid shindig in the first place.

  • Created a robot so badass that it could hunt Mavericks without gettin' infected himself.

  • This Reploid was named Sigma.

  • Wiz: Commander Sigma led the newly formed Maverick Hunters like an elite police force.

  • Under his leadership skills, the number of overall casualties dropped to a whopping zero.

  • Boomstick: Things were going great!

  • Well, until they found a mysterious red Maverick in an abandoned laboratory who started eatin' Maverick Hunter ass for breakfast.

  • ...uh-Wait, that-that didn't come out right.

  • Wiz: Sigma fought the fight of his life.

  • And though he technically won.

  • His victory was far more pyrrhic then he or the rest of the world could ever have imagined.

  • Boomstick: So, this red guy was called Zero, and turns out, the thing infectin' Reploids and turnin' them into Mavericks was a virus leaking from Zero's stasis pod.

  • That also didn't...sound right.

  • Wiz: A final gift from that dastardly Dr. Wily.

  • Boomstick: Oh dear god that thing is hard on a hangover!

  • Wiz: Fortunately, Sigma was designed to fight off such a virus.

  • Unfortunately, this actually just made things worse.

  • Instead of bending Sigma to it's violent will, the virus merged with his programming, becoming one with his body and mind.

  • Together, they both became stronger than before, with a whole new outlook on the world.

  • Sigma began to look at humankind as detrimental to Reploid evolution, holding back their full potential.

  • Boomstick: Yeah, yeah, the big strong metal people hate the dumb flesh bags. Blah, blah, I hear it from you every time at the bar Wiz.

  • Wiz: I...

  • When was the last time I went to a bar?

  • Boomstick: You don't remember?

  • Wiz: Um...No.

  • Boomstick: Mission accomplished.

  • Sigma gathered an army of Mavericks and when the time was right...

  • His invasion began.

  • But to pull it off he needed some bitchin' robo weapons.

  • Sigma's favorite is his totally not copyrighted beam sword.

  • But he also likes tearin' through bots with his flying hammer, Beam Scythe, and the "I'm not compensating for anythin'" sized Sigma Blade.

  • Wiz: He also wields an energy rifle, flamethrower and a giant energy cannon.

  • Boomstick: For extra defense he has a shield that can be tossed around the room like a boomerang.

  • And hey, look! He's like a Robo-Wolverine only the Metal's on the outside.

  • ...well a-and inside.

  • Wiz: With all these weapons and an army at his back Sigma's operation was nearly successful.

  • However, he was halted by the original android Dr. Cain found all those years ago.

  • Mega Man X.

  • But Sigma just kept coming back. Over and over and over and...

  • Wait a minute..?

  • Is that a new villain?

  • Oh, never mind he's just being controlled by Sigma.

  • How the hell does he keep comin' back?

  • How many lives does this guy have?

  • Wiz: Well, Sigma's body is just a shell.

  • The true essence of Sigma lies in the merged and sentient Sigma Virus.

  • This virus can infect other robotic bodies turning other Reploids Maverick, or even completely transferring his consciousness.

  • He's even built several enormous bodies just for this.

  • Boomstick: These extra robo shells have all sorts of unique abilities.

  • They can fly, teleport around, make walls of electricity, create force fields,

  • shoot a giant laser beam of death or make some blue balls.

  • Ah, that's rough buddy. I've been there.

  • Wiz: Also, each of Sigma's Mavericks possess their own abilities that are...

  • Boomstick: Hey hey look, Wiz they're all animals.

  • That one's a penguin and that's an octopus and that one's...

  • Uh...

  • Kuwanger.

  • Uh, yeah...

  • Kuwangers are..

  • What the f*ck is a Kuwanger?!

  • Wiz: It's just a messed-up romanization of Kuwagata.

  • The Japanese word for stag beetle.

  • Boomstick: Yeah, I guess Kuwanger sounds more badass.

  • Wiz: With these forces Sigma waged war with humanity for many many years.

  • He's battled top tier Maverick Hunters like X, Axl and even that Zero guy.

  • Wait... what's Guns and Roses doing here?

  • Wiz: Zero once survived an impact that broke apart the Eurasia space colony.

  • Which when its pieces landed on Earth created an explosion equal to at least 100 teratons of TNT.

  • And Sigma is powerful enough to take out Zero in a single hit.

  • Boomstick: Damn.

  • But Sigma's also managed to damage X.

  • Who once channeled enough energy through his body to destroy all of Japan.

  • Suck it Godzilla!

  • Wiz: And many of Sigma's bodies could tank attacks from both X and Zero without much issue.

  • That's impressive considering X fought the General.

  • Whose body was tough enough to block a laser capable of destroying the Earth.

  • The minimum amount of energy necessary to destroy a planet is known as its gravitational binding energy.

  • Which in the case of Earth is equivalent to a little over 63 sextillion tons of TNT.

  • Boomstick:That's 22 Zeroes! th-the number not the robot.

  • Plus he's fast enough to keep up with Zero.

  • Actual robot not the number.

  • Who dodged optic sunflower's beam of sunlight.

  • Wiz: Actually Sigma is likely even faster.

  • Recall that Reploids like X, Zero and Sigma were designed to be superior in every way to classic era robots like Mega Man.

  • That same Mega Man fought Duo, a space robot capable of flying between Saturn and the Earth within 35 seconds.

  • Boomstick: The only thing that could stop Sigma was the Mother Elf antivirus program.

  • But, if you don't take out the squishy computer-y center...

  • He'll always come back.

  • So long as Sigma still kicking the dream of a world where humans and robots coexist, is doomed to be a nightmare.

  • Sigma: The time has come to prove your mettle against me.

  • This fight will decide the fate of all Reploids.

  • (Stereotypical evil laugh)

  • Wiz: Alright the combatants are set.

  • Let's end this debate once and for all!

  • Boomstick: But first, let us help you program your next meal.

  • Wiz: By now, you've probably heard of Blue Apron, the leading meal kit delivery service in the US.

  • Boomstick: But did you know about all the different kinds of delicious foods you could make?

  • Like the Honey chipotle glazed chicken with poblano and lime rice.

  • Wiz: There's plenty to choose from since they offer 12 new recipes each week.

  • All you have to do is choose the two, three or four that sound best to you, and they deliver it right to your door.

  • Boomstick: Plus, it's super simple to cook.

  • It's got easy to follow instructions and perfectly proportioned ingredients.

  • They're non-gmo, and the meat has no added hormones.

  • My favorite part is feelin' like a master chef, makin' creative and delicious meals with my own hands.

  • You guys really need to try it out.

  • Wiz: It's pretty nice coming home knowing I'll have a delicious meal I can whip up with these.

  • Boomstick: So check out this week's menu and get your first three meals free at Blueapron.com/Battle.

  • That's Blueapron.com/Battle to get your first three meals free.

  • But right now,

  • IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Vile: Hahahahahaha!

  • Ultron: Hello everyone.

  • I'll accept your unconditional surrender now!

  • Sigma: At the risk of sounding cliché...

  • You and what army?

  • Ultron: Haha!

  • Announcer: FIGHT

  • Ultron: DIE!!

  • Get off!

  • Sigma: I am Sigma!

  • I am superior!

  • Ultron: Buzz off!

  • Your reign is a delusion.

  • You're all just puppets on strings.

  • DIE!!!

  • Sigma: (laughs)

  • I'LL TEAR OUT YOUR CIRCUITS.

  • AND BATHE IN YOUR OIL!

  • PREPARE TO BE EXTINGUISHED

  • Ultron: What gall.

  • Lucky for me...

  • I'm my own best backup.

  • (Powers down)

  • Ultron-7: YOU´RE MINE!!!

  • (Both power up)

  • (Both screaming as they fire)

  • Sigma: You are powerful,

  • possibly more so than I.

  • But this battle was never about the physical.

  • My infection is complete!

  • YOU BELONG TO ME!

  • Ultron: (laughs)

  • Oh, please.

  • Sigma: What!?

  • What's this!?

  • NO!

  • NOOO-OO--O--O-O----!

  • Ultron: Everything belongs to me.

  • Drones & Mavericks: Hail Ultron!

  • Announcer: KO

  • Boomstick: Well, I guess that's one way to make friends.

  • Wiz: Despite Sigma's deviousness and ferocity,

  • he was fairly outclassed by Ultron's talents.

  • Boomstick: Sigma could scale do the General who took a face full of 63 sextillion tons of TNT.

  • But Ultron can withstand hits from Thor and his hammer.

  • And we all know how awesome that thing is.

  • Wiz: When Thor fought Gorr the God Butcher.

  • Their battle created shockwaves powerful enough to shatter planets thousands of miles away.

  • This could only be possible with a force equivalent to 682 septillion tons of TNT.

  • Over 10,000 times stronger than anything Sigma could survive.

  • Boomstick: And not only is Ultron frequently smack Thor around like a toddler.

  • Thor had a really hard time trying to damage Ultron's adamantium armor.

  • So Sigma's weapons couldn't either.

  • Wiz: In terms of speed, Ultron flew across the galaxy in several months.

  • Putting him roughly 200,00 times the speed of light.

  • That's LEAGUES faster than Sigma.

  • Even if we scale them to Duo who is 114 times lightspeed.

  • And frankly scaling to Duo through Mega Man in the first place is a bit capricious.

  • As Duo didn't use his full potential in their fight.

  • Boomstick: Even with all that, it really didn't matter who could punch harder or move faster, because the real fight was between the Ultron AI and the Sigma virus.

  • Wiz: Right.

  • And while infection and possession was kind of the Sigma virus' thing Ultron's A.I. was FAR more advanced.

  • Recall how he enslaved an entire techno-organic race, to the point where he used them to conquer an empire spanning a whole satellite galaxy.

  • Boomstick: Yeah, the Phalanx are like Marvel's version of the Borg.

  • Hell, that means Ultron basically Sigma'd a whole race of Sigmas.

  • Wiz: It also helps that Ultron is as smart or smarter than Hank the "Scientist Supreme".

  • Hank's even admitted as much.

  • And he's smart enough to construct an infinitely sized mansion in a higher dimension of existence.

  • Sigma was certainly a ruthless schemer, but nowhere near that level.

  • Boomstick: The only time Ultron was ever defeated by a virus, was once specifically designed to bypass his defenses and leave him vulnerable to attack from the future and a bunch of other complicated stuff.

  • Wiz: Sigma was a tenacious one.

  • But Ultron was the stronger android, the tougher villain, and the deadlier virus.

  • Boomstick: It wasn't long before Ultron,

  • A-Sigma-lated him.

  • Wiz: The winner is Ultron.
