Fun fact: Black Adam once flew to the North Pole and beat up Santa because he wasn’t delivering presents to his land.
Sounds very reasonable
They better bring that up in the episode!
Damn, no easy feat....Santa possesses significant magic-based powers also. This musta been before Lobo went there then, 'cos the Main Man cut off Santa's head after a brutal battle....😔
That sounds like something the Rock did, not Black Adam. 😂
Based. Best king ever. He gets my vote
A lot of people talk about how Death Battle characters would end up being friends instead of trying to kill each other. This is not one of those times.
That statement honestly applies to all villain vs villain episodes.
english is hard i guess
@@benc.delacruz1813 there are a bunch of exeptions but pretty much
Um who says that it's happened like 3 times And 2 times it was a joke. So those people are le stupid.
Honestly these guys would try and kill eachother the moment they even lock eyes
The guy who provided Apocalypse’s voice is just amazing, He made Apocalypse sound like a true menace.
His voice reminded me of Vilgax
Wolf Williams is who voiced him.
@@redlycan5064 thanks
I just wish whoever did the sound editing for his voice didn't bury it so much. It's a fantastic performance regardless, it's just hard to understand him half the time. 🙃😁
Really it sound really slurs to me hardly can i understand most of the words
Black Adam's death was brutal. The last thing Adam saw was his city getting destroyed. The last line of " every thing you built will FALL" gave me some serious chills the first time I watched this death battle.
I immerse as the one I want to win intense fight only to get stomped and watch my city fall and electrocuted, savage
Adam would smash Enlil (Apocalypse). The Phoenix has escorted Enlil off the property before. Simply look at the beings Adam has erased for his people and look at Enlils.
Apocalypse was straight up just bullying Teth there bro. XD
I honestly knew Black Adam was gonna die when he pulled out the ring that early into the fight
Apocalypse is like Darksied and Granny in one.....he delights in the suffering of his enemies....at least until Marvel recently cut his balls off. Now he works for the X-Men....as the ref in a mutant death match......but, they use several mutants to resurrect anyone who falls so they can try again later.
Mutants have a weird utopia where no mutant can die. It's in the newer comics over the last few years I think.
This man stomped Adams face with his boot and kept him alive long enough to witness the subjugation of his people and country, and then finally ended his life with his own power. What a savage ending.
Apocalypse gonna need someone too clean his boot since he probably not gonna do it by himself
Yeah def top 5 most brutal deathbattle deaths
He should've made him his horsemen would've been a amazing insult to injury
mmmmm
@@johndahlquist5404 Darkseid watching from Apokalypse: I like him
I'm honestly surprised there wasn't more monologing - both Black Adam and Apocalypse love the sound of their own voices something chronic.
Especially Apocalypse, the dude has some really badass lines.
I agree
@@superdogsam6230
Thank Oscar Isaac for that.
@@multiverse_media2023
Actually It's Wolf Williams Is The One Who Voiced Apocalypse
GEY
Damn, I never knew Apocalypse was actually that powerful
I mean he even managed to damage the cameraman
Yeah
Only his camera screen
Broke the 4th wall. Enlil (Apocalypse) has technology.
Apocalypse in comic has ragdolled Celestials and Adam is way below Celestials plus Apocalypse is strong like Phoenix
He was way too downplayed in the movies.. Phoenix too. Could have been like a 6 movie event at least
Of all the death battles I have watched, this one has the most brutal kill in my eyes. Apocalypse squashed Black Adam's face like a cherry, then gave him one last look at his country's demise before shocking his head to death. It's extremely brutal on both a physical and emotional level. It fits Apocalypse's character though, so I appreciate it.
Reverse flash! Was disgusting
Hulk getting his head ripped out by doomsday not a thing now?
@@binkssake5123 maybe goku black had it worse than hulk.😅😅
@@myoghomwenigbinomwanhia3356 If it was just his head getting ripped off, that wouldn't be close. However, Doomsday did make that extremely brutal with all the punches.
@@galaxy-eyesgarchomp9478 true
Whoever animated the death scene needs a raise RIGHT NOW
I mean.. the 40 seconds of an actual fight.. 15:06 to 15:46... That was amazing TBH. the rest of it was pretty underwhelming. Generic robot pile on, puts on ring, generic high speed clash and then kaiju and the fight is over.
It was really brutal and badass, yes, but I can't help but think Adam should've had more stuff happen to him to kill him, considering that his healing power should be on par with Shazam, who was able to quickly and fully regenerate from being literally turned inside-out. Though I guess he was weakened by the end of the fight... 🤔
Facts
@@TroyTyranitar Yeah I i preferred DBX fight way more NOT BECUZ who Won but how much BOTH Characters were shown
Lol.
Thats every dentist when your card is declined.
Adam would have won if the fight was held in a jungle. Being played by the rock gives incredible levels of power in any tree filled environment. No way apocalypse can match that
Lol
In all Seriousness tho, BA STOMPS.
Don't know why DB gets it so wrong sometimes.
@@Rensune
Apocalypse with the Death Seed scales to the Celestials and the Phoenix Force which puts him at universal at minimum if not multiversal.
So no. Black Adam absolutely does not stomp.
I don't understand why DC fan boys get it so wrong sometimes.
@@Rensune Nope Apocalypse has just to much HAX
@@noneofyourbusiness2437 I think because even though Comic powerscaling is absurd to it's core in it's nature, DC always kinda tries to one-up everyone else. That's why DC characters mostly win and they are butthurt when they don't. Simple clown behaviour lmao
Nah. It should've been during the Attitude Era in WWE. He would've hit Apocalypse with the most electrying move is ALL sports entertainment!!!
So in DC, there's Darkseid who rules Apocalips, and in Marvel, there's Apocalypse who rules using Deathseeds.
Theres no way there actually power scaling this right I am asking questions as well
It would be interestinting to see them against each other,bur i think Darkseid would win
nah. apocolypse cannot die. so he would win eventually unless darkseid removes him from reality with his omega brams@@serzantkarotka399
The creator of Apocalypse, the character, was inspired by the older DC character called Darkseid.
That's actually really clever
"I am as far beyond mutants.. as mutants are beyond humans" - Apocalypse
Mutants are better than humans. We accept each other and aren’t racist jerks.
I am the rocks of the eternal shore. Crash against me and be broken.
"I am as far beyond Apocalypse as he is beyond humans."
- Thor
@@BoozyBeggar And yet Thor lost to Apocalypse in their first fight, and Thor had to come back around with a specially enchanted axe for a sneak attack for round two.
Yeaahhhh.
I love how there was no dialogue to start the battle. Just straight into the fight. I feel like that's exactly how these two would come at each other.
Eventually, I can't even understand what the hell they're saying.
Yeah but didn't Boomstick raise his shotgun leg? And couldn't Black Adam just Lantern ring some armor that would make him Invincible to all attacks from apocalypse? The Lantern ring only needs for you to come up with an idea and the rain be charged and you be someone that is capable of wielding said ring and have this ring on while you are living, he should indeed be able to conceive the idea of a button that if you press it, and object if he touches it, a food if he eats it, possibly a syringe if he injects it, and a magic of such power that by using it then he would win the fight, as he would have the power to defeat apocalypse even if he does not know him by name? If you wish for a syringe at inject you with the power to do something then you have the power to do it regardless of if it's your brains computational power, political power, physical power, super powers, and if you where do you conceive a method for getting this to you then you should indeed have what it takes to win. We could wish for the power of 100 Black adam, 1 million black adam, but that would ruin the fight wouldn't it.
4:35 Can anyone tell me where I can find the comic issue name where it shows black Adam is resurrected by the people of kahndaq?
I dont think black adam would waste his time talking with someone who is invading his country.
@@cmooney2749 He's resuurected by an extremist group called "The Sons of Adam" in Justice League of America Vol. 3 7.4 - Black Adam
Imagine stomping a mans face in with your boot, keeping him alive just so he can witness as the entire civilization he's been tasked to protect is ended before frying him and tossing him off like fodder. By far one of the biggest flexes in Death Battle other than when Omniman only entertained a fight with Homelander to see how strong he was as opposed to ending him the moment the fight started
Omniman also "fought" Homelander due to Debbie being murdered
@@jackhamilton9604
Omniman may be a genocidal monster (and yes I do know what happens in the comics, shush), but he was 1000% in the right for toying with and bullying Homelander like he did.
And that's only taking his murder of Debbie into account.
Black Adam did the same thing to Apocalypse in the end DBX!
Yeah, this was definitely the most brutal fatality in Death Battle so far in my opinion. Others may be more gory, but you won't find another with this kind of pure malice behind it.
@@yourcollegedebt8384 Bro mentally destroyed him and it was hilarious seeing him essentially devolve into an angry toddler the longer the fight continued
16:00 The Yellow Lantern Corps. represent the emotion fear, and for Adam to tell Apocalypse that “You will learn to fear me!” is a nice touch.
The ironic thing is Apocalypse is immune to fear.
@@davidbritton5282 Apocalypse looked pretty scared to me in House Of M when Black Bolt turned him to dust with his scream. Although i don't think he had the death seed then.
@@davidbritton5282 and the most ironic is when all of black adam's chips were down he shouted shazam with fear
It also just doesn't damage apocalypse since he has no fear and the power of the ring is based on the fear of the person you use the ring on
@@Vladit0r Oh, you mean he couldn't have just gone back in time and cut off Apocalypse's arms?
Apocalypse’s last line was delivered so well, massive props to whoever voiced the big guy.
Thanks

Apocalypse ensuring the last thing Adam ever sees is his country and people being subjugated and murdered(the very thing he gained his powers to prevent) before killings him with his own lightning is definitely a top 5 kill in the series.
His head ws flattened first. He was probably braindead at that point anyway.
What are the other 4?

Man it sucks to know that Apocalypse could've been a sick ass hero if people were just nice to him.
It’s kinda like how people were awful to the likes of Wolverine, Rogue and Nightcrawler until they found the X-Men
@@li-limandragon9287 More like Morlocks than the Xmen
@@li-limandragon9287 Morlocks are a group of mutants too ugly to live in normal human society so they live together
We need this alternate universe now
There was a plot like this in the comics with his young clone, named Evan/Genesis.
Glad to see my boy Apocalypse getting some props! Despite being one of the biggest badass villains in the X-Men's rogues gallery, for whatever reason, in recent years he's been downplayed a lot. I do love that he became a regular recurring character in the Krakoa era of X-Men books, though.
I’m sad we never saw a full story of Apocalypse vs the Hulks in Secret Wars or Apocalypse vs Nimrods in the Jonathan Hickman run
Even if he lost (and he might not have) those would’ve been amazing to see in pen to paper
He's probably one of my all time favourite characters in X-Men, mainly because he's a hot mess with inconsistent writing.
@@jeffreygao3956 Nah as far as power is concerned Teth is a kid with a stolen missile launcher, Apoc is a veteran commando in a tank.
@@li-limandragon9287 No because they're both about the same age and besides, Black Adam has the strength and durability to match Superman, speed to match Flash, and can fend off Martian Manhunter's telepathy so En Sabah Nur's telepathy would just be a minor inconvenience.
He's one of the biggest threats that even the avengers contend with other than Ultron.
What makes this fight even more awesome is how Apocalypse went the extra mile to torment Black Adam by letting him see his city burn before ending him at last.
I thought he would get his patented Death Battle Second Wind
Apoc: I will offer you a choice..
Adam’s face before death: 🤨
The guy is petty as hell, because his first love rejected him because of his looks he waited 50 years so he could mock her on her deathbed!
@@AuraBoiii he said I never offered you a choice

I know the ending is supposed to be brutal and tragic but I can’t get over how black adams smushed face is based on the rock eyebrow raise face.
It look like more to me like smashed watermelon
I couldn't get over the intact regular ground supporting a cosmic american history x stomp under Adam's head.
He looks like a Muppet

Unsee
I keep forgetting that Apocalypse was played by Oscar Isaac. It's interesting that Oscar played two Egyptian-based characters from the same franchise.
Apocalypse should change his name to James Gunn cause he just killed Black Adam
LMFAOOOOOOOO
Film Geek is a perfect name because it’s gonna be some geeky ass reason why this movie that was actually damn good isn’t embraced by the I read every DC comic book ever made crew first get a life second just watch the damn movie and enjoy something entertaining
Not your problem but I hate that your comment is at the top for me so I see it before fullscreening the video
Bro it wasn’t that bad. Don’t know why people hate on this movie so much
Lol
The only part that could have made the animated part EVEN COOLER was if Black Adam DID say that last "Shazam!", but Apocalypses just raises his hand and absorbs the whole thing right before he stomps on him
But he has to say the quirky funny haha 🥺
@@JsunAlphaDream It's in character for current Adam to say that tho

@@o-wolf Marvel is doing Apocalypse? Hope they do a better job than fox
I had a feeling Apocalypse would win, due to his sheer variety of powers. He also has one of the most badass lines in all of X-Men: "I am as far beyond mutants, as they are beyond you!" I wish the movie with him had been better but I don't hate it.
He's also the same guy that saw the unmaker and said oh cool I'm gonna beat him then take his power by turning him on

Apocalypse: Your kind will learn to fear me soon enough.
Adam: Fear, huh? Thanks for the tip.
I thought this fight would be a lot closer. Didn't expect Apocalypse to literally curb stomp Black Adam. Hell, I expected Black Adam to get splashed with Apocalypse's blood and become his newest host.
This is the outcome I suspected
I mean it's lighting and super insert lots human attributes here vs the most powerful mutant with celestial tech
Well, almost; don't think there was curb employed- not many were left by that point.
In the X men cartoon the xmen had to go back in time and stop him from being born to beat Apocalypse. Black Adam did better than I thought he would lol
At least Apocalypse _had_ a genuine weakness Black Adam could detect and go after. A lot of the curbstomps don’t even have that kindness for the victims involved. Either the stronger opponents HAS no such Achilles Heel to begin with, or it’s so out of reach in the context of a Death Battle as to practically be a non-factor.
Apocalypse is probably my favorite villain because whenever his plans doesn’t go the exact way that he wants it to, he gets all passive aggressive and runs away to pout.
Even if he wins he’s like “nooooooooooooo! Storm was supposed to be standing on this side and Archangel was supposed to be standing on THIS side. You know, I put so much effort into my conquests and you guys can’t even-Just forget it. Forget it! Guess I’ll go take a nap or whatever…jerks…”
Apocalypse spends days making his plans of course he gets angry
He's like the coach that gets angry if the team doesn't do things their way even if they end up winning the game
@@gameuniverse5973 *Decades
he actually spent millenia planning, i just thought decades sounds better as a replacement for days
@@William-Morey-Baker centuries. Lol
mmm
The living lightning has actually been shown to be almost useless against people with greater control over energy, especially electricity. In that DC/Marvel crossover from the 90s Thor straight up caught it and used it to transform Shazam back into Billy, and was able to redirect any subsequent bolt to miss him entirely, effectively taking Billy's powers away.
That wouldn't count any more though. Too much has changed since the crossover days.
@@davidbritton5282 Not to mention the crossovers have always been alternate universes and not Canon Earth Prime/616 characters.
@@Nezxmi Not really: both DC vs Marvel and Avengers/JLA were referenced later in actual canon stories, at least on the DC end of things.
regarding Marvel vs DC, Superman said he needed to find Access once to investigate a claim that Galactus ate Krypton; Kyle Rayner once had Access randomly show up in his apartment; and Blue Beetle all-but-names Spider-Man as inspiration for one of his gadgets, referencing him as someone who dropped by from an alternate universe.
meanwhile, JLA/Avengers had an entire story arc in Justice League where they dealt with the aftermath of that story: specifically, the Cosmic Egg formed in the wake of that final battle went to DC for the JLA to take care of, and the Egg later hatched in pages of canon Justice League stories.
And, as of Death Metal, everything that ever *was* canon in DC is now explicitly canon, no matter how little sense that makes, how contradictory it is, or how confusing that makes the timelines.
So, at least as far as DC is concerned, both of those crossovers are entirely canon, despite the two of them outright contradicting each other in terms of how the two multiverses interact. no idea if Marvel ever did anything similar, mind, but DC at least considers them to be canon.
@@josephrasche7194 You’re failing to qualify between canon and 616/Prime characters. The crossovers are “canon” but those are not the original versions, those are completely different characters on a completely different earth that just HAPPEN to look exactly like the original characters. They don’t happen on Earth Prime or Earth-616, the crossover earth is Earth-7642 and they’re not connected to the original characters that we know in anyway.
One of the great Black Adam moments, in my opinion, is when Billy and the JSA go back in time to ancient Egypt and Adam, still known as Teth Adam/Mighty Adam back then is ecstatic to meet another champion of The Wizard and calls Billy his 'brother' because of this connection.
When the group has to go into what amounts to suspended animation and rely on Black Adam to wake them up thousands of years later, after his villain turn, and after he's been Billy's nemesis for some time by now... they're surprised when Black Adam actually DOES revive them. When questioned about this he tells Billy simply
"I gave you my word."
These recent Death Battle episodes have been giving me a lot of appreciation for DC villains
Many of them have been around so long for a reason.
Black Adam is more of an anti-hero
@@sixcaspersson1649 naw
@@sixcaspersson1649 Black Adam is more "It's Complicated." He's one of the many characters that have been pulled out of the Villain niche and given more nuanced roles that reflect the complexity of real life, where someone can do bad things for good reasons or good things for bad reasons. He's much like Magneto or Doom, in that regard.
Black Adam is probably my favorite super villain.
I am not shocked at the result though.
15:35 When he says "Your counsel will aide you no longer." he's speaking on the wizard and God's who made Adam what he is. That's quite a nice touch on adding depth to this confrontation. 👌
Due to the awful to hear deep voice I didn't get it the first time thanks. ^_^
The wizards yes. Not the gods, as apocalypse was all the gods that gave black adam his powers.
@@supersmallchibiwolf872 Yup lol
@@Le_Stadt Ahh I see.
I thought he was speaking about Zehuti. Before Apocalypse said that line, a voice whispered “destroy it” when Black Adam was holding the Death Seed, obviously meant to be Zehuti clueing Adam in on Apocalypses weakness. Since Apocalypse could hear Zehuti through telepathy, that line could have been Apocalypse telling Adam that he’s onto the fact that he’s getting help.
It did add pretty good depth though. My favourite part of their dialogue was how they referred to eachother by their original names, showing that they know each others history.
Not just one of the most brutal deaths of the show, but also one of the most humiliating.
One of the rare times where a stomp in power scaling is actually animated to be a stomp in the fight
Well none of these characters have a huge fanbase like Goku who fans would commit suicide seeing him lose in an outright stomp
@@no_one_cares_bozo Goku did get stomped though. There wasn't a scratch on Superman
It’s a pun
@@no_one_cares_bozo Goku got stomped flat-out in the second video, Superman spent most of the fight just ignoring and walking through his attacks.
Ball super.
I really thought Adam was going to win until DB reminded me about Apocalypse's ability to absorb other abilities. This fight was absolutely savage
Same
This doesn’t add up you can’t just absorb the power of Shazam it has to be gifted to you
@@Anni3sgotagun to be specific. Apacolyspe can absorb energy infinately. So he did not take adams powers
A trick I would use, if I was Apocalypse, would be to absorb/mimic the powers of all four of my horsemen, and every mutant I defeat to slowly expand my list of powers.
So Apoc got an up grade??
As soon that they told Apocalypse can "absorb energy like Cyclop's beam", i knew it was game over for Black Adam.
Yeah, basically no form of energy is off limits for apocalypse so he could easily absorb the lightning, magic or no
Its technically an entire dimension leaking out
Cyclops beam can only split a "small planet" when he unleashes it's full might. He can't blow it up or destroy it outright. He can only split a small planet which isn't very impressive when you look at the marvel universe.
@@giganticomega6821 that's irrelevant
@@giganticomega6821 Scotts eyes are portals to extra dimension. So the fact that Apocalypse was able to harness extra dimensional energy was a wrap for Adam.
He hurt the cameraman... He is truly worthy of becoming a god
Actually that is a death battle spy drones ( who literally capturing all the best fight in the entire death battle community )
Apocalypse was so powerful that he made the camera man breath faster than normal
I know we sometimes use “curbstomp” to describe a death battle, but I didn’t think we would see a literal stomp that brutal. Part of me had hopes for Black Adam to win, but I guess I forgot the part of “absorption” which would have definitely helped Apocalypse come out on top with everything else he had. Oh, how the 90s are missed.
Apocalypse:ew i stomped on loser
@mas8704
Absorption is a hax power ask Rogue or Doctor Doom.
Curbstomp is literally a wrestling move that was banned for being dangerous. Apoc using it was frankly poetic.
Time to rewatch the 90s X-Men series. Who’s with me?
@@multiverse_media2023 Want me to bring the popcorn?
The X-Men cartoon was the best version of him. He literally gave you chills.
"I am the rocks of the eternal shore. Crash against me and be broken!" Thanos WISHED he had good one liners like that.
Agreed
"Apocalypse is eternal"
The voice actor was an excellent choice
@@luizpaulonm “I Am As Far Beyond Mutants As They Are Beyond You.”
Geez that was probably the most brutal kill in DB history whoever animated that is very good at depicting viscera and damaged tissue
Another thing I'm noticing is I already mentioned a scene where I thought he started absorbing the electricity, but he's been absorbing it from the start of the battle, you can see it's being absorbed instead of just dispersed around, it literally goes into him
the moment it was mentioned that Apocalypse could just give himself any power he wanted, I knew the battle was already won. like yeah, Black Adam is a powerhouse but he has clear defined powers, so against a different powerhouse who can just give himself whatever power he felt like who at base could probably stand toe to toe with him AND has functional immortality? no contest
“Never before have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with.”
Which part
@@code066funkinbird3 specifically, it is mentioned about 11:16
mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell
In hindsight them giving Adam the Yellow Lantern ring appears to be their attempt to level the playing field against Apocalypse’s ability to give himself any power, because power rings are power rings regardless which emotion they channel, and can do whatever the user thinks of(it isn’t really capitalized on much but this effectively means all power ring wielders in DC are reality warpers), so able to give themselves any power vs ability to literally do whatever the user thinks of.
Don't forget that Apocalypse was also proficient in magic, which were further explored in the recent Mutant comics. Which could've helped him in this setting as well if needed.
The current X Men runs have been fire!
I wanted to say this as well, dude was a walking mutant book of magic. He wrote down a bunch of it for the mutants after he left with his wife. His Wife is even stronger!
wait he proficient in magic? When? I thought mostly technology he was into. I dont remember him dabbling in magic.
@@danielmcphee2546 Check out the recent Excalibur series, he always has been, just never really needed it.
@@danielmcphee2546 The details are questionable. But it's during House of X storylines. Apocalypse let himself be killed by an extremely ampt Rogue who absorbed him entirely. And apparently this was a goal to unlock his ability to use powerful magic when he came back.
The limits of this are yet to really be tested, but it is another power to pull from his pocket.
The result of this fight was made plainly clear as soon as we knew what abilities each of them possessed
Apocalypse is the strongest mutant it was never a contest
As soon as they say "energy absorption", especially if the opponent is someone who uses a lot of energy attack, it's a wrap.

He sure went out swinging.

@@mr-fh2be *went out with Apocalypse’s boots on……his face 😂
Apocalypse didn’t even know that had the fight gone even a moment longer he was going to get turned inside out. There’s not many things in all of fiction that rival the Phoenix force, but a Lantern Ring worn by such an indomitable will as Black Adam would be a contender.
This is by far one of the most brutal finishers in DB history. Getting your face stomped into a bloody pulp, and the last thing you see before you die is your beloved kingdom, which you have guarded for centuries--millennia even, burn and crumble under the tyrannical boot of the foe that has crushed you.
Omni man vs homelander was another pretty brutal one. And honestly one of my favorite death battles. Usually I like it when the fight is really even but it was kind of nice watching that absolute curb stomp 🤣

The Senses of Heimdall: we needed at least one deity in this list, and I would’ve liked more, but turns out there’s not a lot of Norse deities with names fitting the Shazam acronym. If it’s not Thor or Odin contributing to putting forth a champion, Heimdall certainly would for the good of Midgard (or the Nine Worlds at large).
The Strength of Asmund: sure, Sigurd is, like, THE Norse hero aside from Beowulf, but Asmund Berserkers-Slayer earned that title the hard way and deserves respect. Do you know how hard it is to kill one berserker, let alone two or more?
The Courage of Zisa: I actually like this idea, that the consort of Tyr is most likely a shieldmaiden. And being more hardcore than a shieldmaiden (or possibly a valkyrie) is not easily done.
The Stamina of Arngrim: Arngrim was a berserker who lived long enough to side twelve sons, which means he was a berserker who made it to middle age at least. That’s how you know Arngrim was a very, very durable man.
The Wisdom of Mimir: I also really liked this one. Mimir was the smartest man alive, so who else would know the weaknesses of your enemies and help you think on the fly?
This has got to be one of the only battles where one side isn't complaining about "They didn't give so and so this power, or "use his final form". Everyone is like "yep that's totally how it would go".
Agreed, I knew apocalypse had this.
I mean if I want to be that guy, k could point out how they didn't mention some of Apocalypse other bs powers.
They actually did it before we're black adam won ages ago but I guess they decided to try again
@@zmpjacksoncomics2077 yeah this is better than Alucard vs dio
Omni man vs home lander was like that too
Man, this fight was so intense, it even broke the fourth wall
Literally, the camera broke!
I love how so many people including Marvel fans say DC characters are too op meanwhile are completely ignoring characters like Apocalypse exist.
Probably because of the X-Men movie
@@ICTON123 Man that film did him such a disservice.
How many peoples have dreamed of Apocalypse's end? Adam was no closer than the Babylonians with their swords and fire sticks!
Is no one gonna talk about the fact that at 16:08, they clashed so fast and hard that they broke a part of the moon?
did not thanks for showing
Oh yeah, coowl detail.
Didn’t even notice that tbvh
I feel like since this is roosterteeth it's supposed to be a rwby reference
So The character that Dwayne Johnson plays as loses? (For the Hercules vs Sun Wukong and Black Adam vs Apocalypse)
Went in thinking Black Adam had this in the bag, then saw Apocalypse's analysis. Needless to say, that's when I knew Black Adam was screwed.
What i found crazy is that they dint even name half of apocalypse hax that he has
apocalypse is one of the most overpowered charather in the marvel roster, in check only by his acting a bit dumb sometimes and get annoyed to the point of lowering his guard
the breaking point between AoE and HoM is in his fight with magneto, where in the latter magneto had to get out a whole new specific use of his power
Why
Imagine Apocalypse invading New York in 2012, instead of Loki. And then imagine Apocalypse fight Iron Man. But before he murders Iron Man in cold blood, Apocalypse shows Tony the ruined city of New York.
Well Ultron conquered the entire planet where Apocalypse's virus comes from
But Tony has never cared about New York, he's only ever cared about his own fragile ego.
Yeah, saw that coming.
When you have someone with regenerative or high-level self-healing abilities vs someone without, the person without needs some way to disrupt the opponent's abilities or they're at a severe disadvantage. Especially if those abilities are passive/automatic.
Yeah apocalypse seems automatically
If I had a nickel for every time the Rock appeared in a Death Battle thumbnail this season, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

@@Amaterasu-zl5yh hercules vs sun wukong
Damn that was one of the hardest endings to a Death Battle yet.
Still think Omni Man Vs Homelander was more brutal.
@@Atom_dom_2004 That one was brutal but in my opinion Goku Black vs Reverse flash takes the top spot
ppp
@@spectralknightgaming8364 Goku Black's death was brutal but too pixelated, so the gore wasn't too detailed.
But this one? We saw Adam get curbstomped in 4k.
@@Pepsi-Mann21 And pretty sure there's been worse deaths than getting curbstomped
This episode ended as brutal as the first episode of Invincible
Boomstick: Is... is Black Adam a good guy or a bad guy?
Wiz: *YES*
As soon as the words "Aborbed Cyclops's laser" were uttered, I knew it was over before it began. If the dude can just tank that kind of energy and then turn it around on the attacker, anyone who is energy based in the least is not gonna have a good time...
Absorbing stuff is almost always broken in most verses alone but it even more broken outside their verse
Energy absorbers are almost broken tier. Considering Scott's eyes are portals to a weird energy dimension yeah it's a wrap
Most of us knew it was over as soon as it was announced. Was a crazy 1 sided battle
I was already thinking that Apocalypse would probably win
Then they said that
Then I questioned why they even made the fight. It’s over at that point.
Black Adam still has strength speed and experience over him.
Y’all actually did this matchup, I’m surprised. Two powerful Egyptian Supervillains, can’t wait to see the results.
Well.. black Adam is more of an anti-hero these days
They literally did this already
@@jaythagoat3699 as a DBX that was fanvoted
Black Adam has strength, but Apocalypse's ability is more versatile.
spoiler alert Black Adam wins
Honestly I thought he was gonna win once he used the ring, since the ring + shazam. But I also forgot how Apocalypse is nearly unkillable
Fun fact: Apocalypse from the 2016 X-Men movie was played by the same guy who played Moon Knight. Oscar Isaac.
Welp. That was wholesomely brutal...
No seriously now, I had a mild curiosity about why Apocalypse was so strong as a kid, but never had the means to investigate it. Having grown up, I just... never made the time to look into his lore. This was educational, entertaining and eerie! Well done Death Battle!
You too he fascinated me but didn't understand it all now ....dang his name isn't for show he's a tough cookie
My first exposure was the old cartoon. He never really got defeated, he just grew bored or said they were strong enough and walked off X-D
As far as I can tell, the only way to defeat Apocalypse(not including the movie) is to trap him in another dimension.
@@brandonprater4613 none of what they are claiming is canon at the moment of this video.
Did you mean "wholesale brutality"? Wholesomely brutal is an oxymoron.
Love how a lot of people thought Apocalypse was the underdog here.
Apocalypse is not as well known or popular so yeah
Ill be honest, im more of a Marvel fan than a Dc fan here and i thought i knew Apocalypse, so i thought he would lose against Black Adam.
Oh, how incredibly wrong i was...
I knew NOTHING about Apocalypse apparently. Better step up my knowledge game lmao
Yeah people need to understand the difference between an arch-nemesis villain like Black Adam and a team-buster villain like Apocalypse. Apocalypse is built to fight all of Marvel at once, and Black Adam is only meant to fight Captain Marvel/Shazam. Captain Marvel is strong but he struggles against top tiers like Superman and naturally so does Black Adam, while Apocalypse stomps any hero in 1v1, and requires a superhero team up to beat.
@@gameuniverse5973 He had a chance to be well known and Fox made him Ivan Ooze.
Marvel been doing him dirty lately, I think he's a good guy now
Post analysis side notes :
17:53 The omniversal cosmology of Marvel and DC are ultimately equivalent in scale. This stands to reason that deriving power sources from the Quintessence and Celestials would also be equal.
18:22 Black Adam's magic transmutation would not work against
Apocalypse's molecular control, nor could he defend himself from a Techno-Organic Virus infection.
19:10 The Living Lightning has been rerouted, absorbed, and nullified plenty of times, even by machines as simple as ATMs or alloys such as Nth Metal. Given a combination of Apocalypse's own powers and Celestial technology, he would be more than equipped for it.
No they are not equal in scale so stop talking out your backside lol
@@lancekemal8989 These are comic book facts!!
@@lancekemal8989 DC and Marvel are ultimately no different in scale or power, DC ironically has less crazy cosmic stuff than Marvel tho.
@@FONZ4 It is actually factually a lie because Marvel and DC both have many alternate realities and pantheons from mythology that expand the scale of every individual universe
@@li-limandragon9287 It's impossible to know unless you know the exact scale of every single realm and pocked dimension in Marvel and DC
I was actually surprised. I honestly thought Black Adam was going to defeat Apocalypse
Yeah. Though Apocalypse was in a fight with Mjolnir Jane & Thor. So he's use to magical lightning.
As a Marvel fan, and an X-Men fan specifically, I was pretty sure Apocalypse was going to win, but I didn’t know that much about Black Adam, so I was ready for a good fight, and I wasn’t disappointed. Very good ending.
I was actually surprised. Makes sense though.
Black Adam is somewhat comparable to Superman in terms of basic abilities (if a little bit weaker, but still strong enough to give him trouble) and is the evil / anti-villain counterpart of Captain Marvel / Shazam. He's probably a lot stronger and faster than Apocalypse overall and more durable, so it wouldn't have been surprising if he won this fight.
But what Apocalypse has going for him is advanced super-alien tech and a great level of versatility, and ability to drain Black Adam's energies. If Adam knew what he was up against, he could possibly win by throwing him into the Sun or something, but this isn't a fight with knowledge or prep (and if it was, Apocalypse would be entitled to it as well, and he is MUCH better at planning than Adam is).
@@jonathancampbell5231 shut up
marvel side win this fight this time :v
*To be fair this fight felt more like a slaughter from the beginning they touched tips*
Apocalypse : Impossible ! How can you be so powerful ?!!
Black Adam :
ITS ABOUT DRIVE
ITS ABOUT POW-
*Black Adam head being crushed*
Apocalypse : Nah, just kidding xD
(EDIT : Welp that was awkward, The Rock is not winning this season)
Apocalypse: HIS POWER LEVEL IS OVER 9 THOUSAND!!! AND IT'S STILL RISING
How could Black Adam really win?
@@nuchitnilvarangkul5468 He outstats him easily.
@@zacharie2334 Not really just strength and speed but Apocalypse has so many mutant abilities that gives him advantages over Teth Adam
I don't think there gonna use the rock version of black adam
Apocalypse vs Doomsday, now that would really be a good fight.
No, no more Doomsday. Just pretend that character doesn't exist for the duration of the Earth's existence, please.
@@BoozyBeggar Why? Doomsday is cool.
@@user-bk9fk2tq2zmost shallow villain ever, literally invented to sell a single commerative comic
@@antcantcook960 Doomsday is DC's version of Marvel's Hulk. I think Doomsday being the killer of Superman was cool. I like his badass design and I like how he evolves.
Apocalypse made Sentry one of his Horseman lackeys LOL. Can't be touched!
Thor and Hulk both surpassed Sentry though lol.
@@galanakagalactus903 hulk was his horseman too once
@@galanakagalactus903 no they didn’t
@@jarrettbrewer2892 Sentry got knocked out in World War Hulk and that Hulk is a joke compared to some other versions of the character. And Thor ascended to being one of the most powerful Skyfathers in Marvel comics who would rag-doll Sentry in a fight. Basically for and Hulk have both beaten characters since who could one shot Sentry with ease.
@@sokratikas And Hulk also cracked Onslaught's armor. Their are many versions of Hulk that can crack Apocalypse armor and splatter him across reality.
Man, I give it to death battle. While Apocalypse was laughing evilly at the end of the battle I saw his left foot still covered with Black Adam's blood as a small detail!
I mean yeah, apocalypse stomped on adam face multiple times
If this battle gonna ROCK so hard, then it deserves an OSCAR!
Ha! See what you did there.
Clever😂 good one👍
CLEVER
10/10 👍
👏 👏 👏 well played
"slurping up Black Adam's magic" is a wild line to put in there
“Everything you’ve built will fall”
Ending death reminded me of Darth Malgus taking out Ven Zallow while the Temple fell
I haven't watched death battle in a while, it's cool to see how they incorporated 4 different art styles in this one.
I only saw 2.
I think you’re thinking of the popeye vs one punch man one. This one only has two
@@mayonnaise3959 I saw 2 drawings for arms, pixelated, unique backgrounds and gore

"There Exists No Freedom From Me. There Is Only Freedom Through Me."
Apocalypse is by far my favorite X-Men character.
I am the rocks of the eternal shore. Crash against me and be broken!
For i shall put the purity of oblivion to your world
Spare me your petty judgements. They spring from a brain too meager to comprehend my reality.
Yeah same a true final boss
He had the best lines
Apocalypse is CRAZY STRONG!
I feel like this fight would actually start over which one had the more disappointing movie.
Hey, at least Apocalypse had that killer mansion rescue.
I was not expecting this episode to have such a unique victory! The fact that there was not a single math equation in the rundown because they're both so ludicrously powerful that numbers don't even matter, so in the end it just came down to who's powers could counter the other's. It brings me back to the early days of DB. Definitely one for the record books.
Yeah I appreciate that here. You don't need numbers to know just how Strong Thor and wonder woman, they're so well known that their strength and feats are common knowledge. You don't need to list off how many planets they can obliterate, it's obvious
But I'm glad apocalypse won. Despite how big of a villain he is for the x-men and being one of the biggest bads in marvel, he's actually decently obscure all things considered
One of the things that make Shazam and Black Adam overpowered is the ability to summon literally ANY knowledge they need.
IT'S LIKE ADDING WI-FI TO YOUR BRAIN.
Too bad apocalypse can literally shut down the wifi like in real life
So can get bad connection like Wi-Fi.
If that were true, just learn omnipotence. Done. 😉
Still gonna get wrecked by Superman almost every time
@@DarkGodSeti that’s like saying “simply earn money”
Definetely one of the most LEGENDARY finisher we have in Death Battle
To me this episode is so ICONIC
Really an amazing fight
I really want see Apocalypse back to the business again
If i learned something about death battle is that you never tell someone out of your country it usually leads to a gruesome death
Funny how, even with a reverse outcome, both the DBX and the actual Death Battle's versions of this fight's ending remain the same, with the winning stomping the loser's face into the ground.
Black Adam: "Where's your general, interloper?"
Apocalypse: (laughs) "Fool! You humans interlope on mutant sanctuary"
Just wanna say, there’s a ‘you’ before the ‘humans’ in that sentence
