Only a few days ago, I made yet ANOTHER post asking who I should take on next. Of course, the one with to most-received votes was HEROBRINE. Who is actually NON-CANON to the actual game Minecraft, yet there he was, teaching his monstrous students at Monster School in Beckerverse.
But what would happen, if Slender Man paid him a visit? No, we aren't talking about the official version of Slender Man, but a stick figure that would easily remind you of him.
Before we head into the battle, here are the rules!
https://animatorvsanimation.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000181683
I would also like to add just a few more though.
No help or assistance from anything animate, such as mobs, stick figures, inanimate objects mad animate, etc.)
No erasing opponents by code, existence erasure in general, etc.
While the mental attributes for Herobrine don't count as his abilities, the mental attributes for Slender Man will, which forced me to get create despite having so little to work with.
The fight will take place in the Nether at the remains of King Orange's castle, because why not?
Now, let's see what Herobrine is made of... (Note: His powers and abilities are ALSO in the rule set. But there wouldn't be any harm in displaying them here.)
Herobrine's abilities include:
Possession
Block Manipulation
Telekinesis
Effect Generation
Cloning/Multiplying
Self+Other Person Teleportation
Unnatural body movement.
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Senses
Superhuman Speed
Durability (Likely.)
Resurrection of other beings.
Excellent Swordsmanship
Excellent Archery Skills
Intangibility
Extremely skilled combatant.
And as for his mental advantageous attributes:
High Intelligence
High Awareness
Skilled Strategist
If we counted his mental attributes as powers, Herobrine would come in at a whopping 19 abilities!
NOTE: The next few paragraphs are dedicated to Herobrine's calculated casual strength. If you want to, skip the next 4 paragraphs.
In general, Herobrine is already immensely powerful. For instance, the thing's capable of shattering Bedrock with a casual kick! Bedrocks in Bedrock Edition have a blast resistance of 18,000,000, while Java edition's bedrock has the blast resistance of around 3,500,000. Now I don't know exactly which Minecraft the Beckerverse takes place in, so to make sure Herobrine is as strong as possible, we'll be using Bedrock Edition.
Now, in Minecraft, basically EVERYTHING is tougher than in real life. We can say that because an explosion from a 3 foot by 3 foot explosion from a calculated 3,638 pound block can barely do jack squat in the Minecraft world. But in reality, something such as that, would be the equivalent of a small nuclear bomb, if not a little less. (And for a more accurate description of Herobrine's strength, we will be using the real world bond tiering system, rather than a Minecraft bond because again, a block of TNT in Minecraft would barely do anything to your typical wood and cobblestone house.)
Therefore, with its blast power of 4 going up against something with the blast resistance of 18,000,000, bedrock is basically immune to explosions. But lets say its not and it takes a specific amount of TNT to destroy it anyways. I did this by dividing 18,000,000 (Blast resistance.) by 4 (Blast Power.) to get 4,500,000, which would be the required amount of TNT blocks to blow up and destroy a block of bedrock. Keep in mind, a single block of TNT weighs up to 3,638 pounds. And explosion like that would let off 16.2 billion joules of energy. (Given that one pound of TNT would set off around 4,200 joules of energy, which is enough to destroy at least a thick plank of wood. That would be about 4,200 joules of energy per pound.) Now, what could you destroy with 16.2 billion joules of energy? You could destroy at most a large building like Big Ben or the Eiffle Tower, if not something more compact like a hotel or such. All of that, just from one TNT block. Now multiple 16.2 billion by 4,500,000 to get enough energy to destroy bedrock. That would be 72.9 QUADRILLION JOULES OF ENERGY. This would be enough to destroy a large city and at least multiple city blocks. Therefore, Herobrine's casual strength tier would range from Multi-City Block Level, to Large City Level. and again, to keep Herobrine as strong as possible just to make it harder for me, I'll be selecting the higher tier in this scenario.
Let's also note that a maximum output attack is multiple times greater than casual attacks. 9-10 times for punches, 5-15 times for kicks. Given that Herobrine kicked the bedrock to destroy it, we'll be multiplying the force of his casual kick by 15. So, 72.9 quadrillion joules times 15 would equal to 1,093,500,000,000,000,000 joules of energy. (1.0935 quintilion.) And even though I didn't get an exact description for it, what I found was that you could destroy several million tones of solid stone with this amount of force. This would reach up to a maximum of standard MOUNTAIN LEVEL, if not Small Mountain Level. Which, in all honesty, was a lot less then how powerful I thought Herobrine was going to be.
Then there's Herobrine's speed, which is faster than the human eye. How fast? Well it takes something to reach Subsonic speed in order to surpass the human eye, which tops at around 383 miles per hour. So right there would probably his casual speed. But since the very speed Herobrine flew was the fastest speed Herobrine travelled throughout the series, I'm now stuck with a maximum speed of around 385 miles per hour. So, just out of the lack of information online and for giggles, I decided to buff Herobrine even more, and make him the speed of sound.
Now here's the real problem: His durability. Herobrine himself never actually got hit HARD in the series, so we don't really have anything to work with that would state how durable he is. so, this required research on strength to durability... uh... "ratios." I say ratios, but in general we just need to know whether if strength surpasses durability, durability surpasses strength, or if they're equal. And it turns out, it happens to be that one's durability normal tends to keep up with that same one's strength. (Excluding the pressure points of course.) So, Herobrine's durability should equal to his maximum strength, which would be at around standard Mountain Level.
After all that, we haven't even reached his hax and abilities yet! Herobrine can possess certain individuals at will, who also enters an intangible state in the process so that nothing stops him. Once he's in, he's not coming out unless there's a notable deletion mechanic or weapon around. (And Slender Man isn't allowed to have that.) When he does this, he can also use his block manipulation to form a humanoid/stick figure-like body of hard material such as cobblestone. (Or more commonly, obsidian.) This new body is very strong, oddly flexible and highly regenerative. it also tends to be very good at wielding large and heavy netherite weaponry such as swords and bows made from dozens of netherite blocks, which tends to be one of is not THE heaviest block in the game. You know what else he can do with his block manipulation? Entirely reform already existing blocks into block of his own liking. And example of this was when he turned his cobblestone arm into a line of pistons to punch green into a wall.
Overall, he's a very skilled combatant, and he shows it through his multiple strategies can have been shown to almost overwhelm his Minecraftly omnipotent opponent, King Orange.
There's also his telekinesis, which can be used to move large objects as fast as he normally is. His unnatural movement capabilities allow him to dodge subsonic-speed attacks in milliseconds if not nanoseconds, all thanks to his high awareness, reaction time and his super senses. Herobrine can clone and multiply dozens upon dozens of Steve, as well as give them weapons and shields. (If not armor.) Not only that, be he can also RESURRECT these beings, as well as any other mobs he chooses as seen during the first test Red takes in monster school. That's not even getting on the fact that he is also capable of teleporting himself as well as other mobs, which would make them harder to hit. And finally there's his effect generation, which is the ability to create and effect without there being an actual and logical cause. He can draw on a chalk board without having anything in his hands, create headbands out of a stick, (Which would more than likely be just block manipulation.) and if he wanted to, even generate a random slash attack from a weapon such as a sword. (Which was never introduced idea, but again he receives no weaknesses if we buff him up just a little bit.)
After all that, you may still be wondering how in the world I managed to even create something with that could at least take out Herobrine. Well, in complete honesty, it wasn't that hard! It did take longer to create something for Herobrine than the other stick figures, but in the end, I'm sure Slender Man would actually manage to come out on top thanks to these listed ability of his:
Small Island Level Strength
Island Level Durability
450 MPH max speed.
Mind Anchoring
High Stress Resistance
Lengthened Limbs
Extreme Parrying Skills
Excellent Movement Predictor
Fear Inducement
Extreme Temperature Resistance
Notice that only eight of these powers are actual supernatural abilities, with the mental attributes being Stress Resistance, and the fact that Slender Man is an excellent move predictor. Unless, we classify Mind Anchoring as a mental attribute as well.
Now it's time to explain how these abilities and attributes would even be capable of fighting back against Herobrine.
To counter Herobrine's possession, which would be the biggest threat to Slender Man, we have his weakened Mind Anchoring ability. Mind Anchoring grants the immunity to mental displacement. These examples include mind control, and possession. Now, Slender Man wouldn't exactly be immune to this per say, but he would be able to resist long enough to do something about it. This is where his high stress resistance comes in. This would allow him to think properly during tight or wild situations. This means while he is fighting off possession, he can pull off a move that would allow him to get away from such an attack. Example? Just barely managing to shove Herobrine out of his mind and run away every time Herobrine attempts to pull this move. Eventually, Herobrine will have to stop continuously spamming this attack and figure out something else, which would cause him to shed his intangibility and enter a physical form, something that Slender Man could do damage to.
But let's say running away doesn't work, as well as the attempt to cast Herobrine out of his mind. What would Slender Man do next? That's where Slender Man's Fear Inducement comes in. As Herobrine's consciousness attempts to override Slender Man's consciousness, he feels a sudden pang of terror, as if something's not going to right in the slightest. As if doing this would lead to a terrifying demise. In alarm, Herobrine would cast himself out of Slender Man's mind and not attempt to go back in there again. There's also no evidence that Herobrine is capable of dealing damage to an opponent while in his intangible state as well. So he would then need to go back to being tangible and resume fighting that way. But the Fear Inducement doesn't stop here. As Herobrine attacks at a superior speed, he feels that same amount of fear, as if Slender Man is about to get angry and receive power to an extent that would be beyond Herobrine's control, and potentially kill him. So, Herobrine would summon dozens upon dozens of Steves armed with diamond swords and shields.
Or maybe for this scenario, netherite swords and armor. Its obvious that Herobrine is much more powerful as well as physically superior to Steve, even though Steve has netherite armor on and a netherite sword in his grip. However, survival mode Steve is still nobody to scoff at either, who's been stated to be at most Town Level in general with the right equipment. But, Town Level is still inferior to Small Mountain Level strength and durability. So almost no matter what Steve has or does (Unless it's creative mode, and only direct PLAYERS or King Orange have access to that.) he'll still never overwhelm Slender Man. Unless... there was a whole bunch of him as described. So with dozens of Steves attacking, Slender Man would use his lengthened limbs, high speed and high strength to combat against Herobrine's small army, easily destroying them all.
But let's say there's a red stick figure nearby, and Herobrine possesses him. He creates a blocky body out of obsidian, then creates a netherite weapon (Bow, axe or sword.) out of the surrounding environment or with what he has. Now what would Slender Man do? This is where his parrying skills come in to play.
Now, his durability may be able to get him to take a few hits from the giant netherite sword, but each block weighs extremely heavy on its own. Plus the giant weapon is being swung by a giant with super strength. So it wouldn't be long before Slender Man eventually gets tired or drowsy from each hit from a sword, or shot from a bow. Therefore, he would use his parrying skills and quick+effective movement predicting skills to knock the weapons and arrows away from him. He'll do this by attacking the weapons themselves at an angle that doesn't harm HIM, and severely unbalances the weapon, which would cause the "block titan" to lose his grip. Not to mention the fact that Herobrine's blocky giant form isn't anywhere near as fast as he is, which is where Slender Man's speed and strength will come in handy.
Slender Man is capable of running up to 450 miles per hour, and is capable of attacking at up to 500 miles per hour. Combining that with Island Level attack potency+destructive capability would practically ERASE Herobrine's block humanoid form before it could even regenerate. From then on it's beating the tar out of Herobrine's victim until he leaves his victim.
But there's one more thing Herobrine COULD try: Forcing Slender Man to take a dip in lava. Slender Man is only RESISTANT to intense heat or cold, and he wouldn't last forever while being held under there. However, there's one large issue with this. Though Herobrine's maximum strength is Mountain Level, he's severely outmatched in terms of physical power. With Slender Man's maximum strength being Island Level, he should be able to over power Herobrine pretty quickly! Just fast enough to escape from the boiling temperature of lava.
The battle would end in Slender Man using his fear inducement once again to ward off Herobrine, if not beating the clearly weaker blocky character to pieces WHILE using his Fear Inducement ability.
But what do you think? Could I have done better? Do you think that Herobrine could still beat Slender Man?
