Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Nerd, I'm Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
I'm here with a new entry to our Versus series, where we pit heroes and villains against each
other and decide who we think would win.
This week's battle is between two of the most insane villains of Marvel and DC: The Joker
and Green Goblin.

But for now, buckle up, it's time for The Joker, vs Green Goblin!
Quick ground rules before we start.
The pair will be meeting randomly, meaning no setup.
However, they both happen to have their various weapons on them.
It's a fight to the death, and other than that, there are no rules.
Let's do this.
As always, let's start with a quick overview of these guys.
Joker's origin is kind of hard to pin down, since it changes in every damn iteration of
him.
So, let's go with probably the most common story.
Jack Napier was a relatively normal dude, if smarter than most, until he fell into a
vat of chemicals.
These chemicals changed his skin white, hair green, and lips red.
Why all the different colours?
I dunno.
But that's not all; this accident and surrounding circumstances turned him insane, or super-sane,
depending on your beliefs on the matter.
He then went on to become perhaps the most prolific villain in the DC Universe.
Moving on to Green Goblin, whose origin is much more straightforward, thank goodness.
Norman Osborne was born to an abusive father who was an unsuccessful businessman, and took
it out on Norman.
Side note, holy crap there are like 4 good dads in all of comics.
Everyone has an abusive dad.
Anyway.
Norman used this as inspiration to strive for as much money and power as he could get.
After co-founding Oscorp, he was hit with an experimental formula meant to give him
superhuman abilities.
And it did...
at the cost of his sanity.
Norman developed a secondary Goblin persona, that went on to wreak havok as a supervillain.
Cool, origins are done, now we're all on the same page.
But what can these guys do?
In terms of powers, Joker isn't exactly flush.
He's definitely smarter than the average guy, even if he is insane.
You just have to look at his incredibly complicated plans or devastating chemical and technical
achievements to see that he knows his stuff.
He also seems to have an immunity to poison, which would certainly come in handy against
some of Green Goblin's attacks.
There are also some claims that he is immune to pain, which again could be useful in this
battle.
That said, he has some pretty awesome goodies that he can use to incapacitate his enemies.
This includes things like guns and bombs, but his signature tool is his laughing gas,
which can be used to lethal effect.
Moving on to Green Goblin, he has a number of pretty great abilities and gadgets.
Even though he was already really smart, the Goblin Formula further enhanced Norm's intelligence.
It also gave him superhuman strength, allowing him to lift 9 tonnes, as well as increased
speed, reflexes, endurance, and healing.
In terms of gadgets, there are two main tools that he uses to awesome effect: The Goblin
Glider, and his Pumpkin Bombs.
The Glider is incredibly useful at keeping up with Spider-Man, and would give him a huge
edge on the Joker, who tends to keep his feet firmly on the ground.
At least, physically.
Add to that his powerful pumpkin bombs, that can be used as explosives, incendiaries, or
even gas bombs, and you've got one hell of a dangerous villain.
However, with all that said, these two will be up against very different enemies than
they're used to.
Joker is used to fighting Batman, who isn't superhuman.
He's just in peak human condition.
It could be that many of the chemicals used by Joker would be significantly less effective
against the Goblin's enhanced biology.
Not to mention that the Goblin is already pretty darn crazy.
The Goblin, on the other hand, is used to fighting someone who is both more powerful
than the Joker, and arguably more intelligent.
It could be that he's kind of overprepared for this battle.
That said, it's kind of hard to compare Peter Parker's style of intelligence to that of
the Joker's.
This could actually work in Joker's favour, since he's so damn unpredictable he might
surprise the Goblin.
But if you think about it, the Joker would have similar trouble predicting the insane
Goblin, so it might work out in the wash.
Okay, now we know our competitors, so it's time for the fight.
The two meet eyes in a warehouse.
Joker yells out "Well helloooo, pleasure to meet you my friend.
You look dreadful, why so green?"
The Green Goblin responds with "Why don't you find out, clown!"
And the fight begins.
Also, yes, I know they sound the same, but they have similar voices and I'm a hack.
As the fight begins, Green Goblin hops onto his glider and takes to the skies.
And The Joker says "Fuuuuuuuuuck".
He quickly recoops though, and reaches for his laughing gas.
Suddenly, BOOM!
A pumpkin bomb lands near him.
Giggling away, the joker runs for cover while looking around for the Goblin.
He sees him, flying straight towards him, and readies his laughing gas.
Just as the Goblin flies overhead, ready to throw a bomb, Joker releases a cloud of laughing
gas, engulfing them both.
Green Goblin starts to giggle, then laugh harder, and his glider comes down to the ground.
With the Goblin rolling around on the ground laughing, Joker busts out his comically-large
gun, and walks up.
Just as he's about to finish the job, the Goblin stops laughing suddenly, looks up,
and says "Boo".
With a quick punch, Joker goes flying across the room, and by the time he hits the ground,
Green Goblin is standing over him.
"Looks like it's curtains for you, clown."
He shoves a pumpkin bomb down the still-laughing Joker's throat, and walks away.
Because cool guys don't look at explosions.
So, this week's winner is: Green Goblin.
In the end, while both have some pretty wicked toys, Green Goblin's actual powers would likely
give him the advantage he needs to come out on top.
Joker's unpredictability would definitely work in his favour, but at the end of the
day, Green Goblin is kind of like: Joker plus flying plus powers.
And his improved biology would likely be a deciding factor.
Well, there we have it, hope you guys enjoyed this fight.
