Let’s kick off the new year by looking back…all the way back, back to the very beginning of Death Battle.

 

Ah. Where did that youthful energy go?


Early Death Battle was raw. They did stupid stuff like have Rogue beat Wonder Woman because Woman Woman has exposed skin. But they also had heart. They had energy. They didn’t mind calling Michelangelo retarded or making gay jokes about He-Man and Lion-O. They didn’t mind doing Fox McCloud vs Bucky O’Hare just to do Fox McCloud vs Bucky O’Hare.

 

Nothing gold can stay.

 

The Super Strunties have the same categories (and new ones!) as the Strunties, but apply to all of Death Battle history from Samus vs Boba Fett to Broly vs Hulk.
