Fox Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I think we've already established that Arcade is exceptionally strong in Mechanics. I foresee Xanatos ending up on the wrong side of a Death Trap in this challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boratz Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 From what I can remember from Gargoyles, Xanatos was not too bad with building machines and such. But I still got to give it to Arcade, this is his specialty. I don't forsee Xanatos being about to top Arcade when it comes to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macklemore Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Yeah, I feel like generally Arcade has to deal with stronger foes, therefore his knowledge in mechanics should technically be on a higher level? I mean, creating death traps for the X-Men on a regular basis, one couldn't even imagine how busted his death mazes would be if a normal human were to enter accidentally.

Although he is by no mean superpowered, it would be a mistake to consider David Xanatos a normal human. The man has a tv trope named after him that is literally about finding a way to win in all possible scenarios. It is never explicitly stated that Xanatos built his steel clan or his high tech Coyote armor that was strong enough to take on Goliath, but it is also not even remotely implied that someone else did it either. In fact, the only employees of Xanatos ever shown are Dr. Sevarius, Owen, and Eliza's brother. I think this battle of wits using mechanics ends with Xanatos victorious and then manipulating Arcade into going after the Manhattan Clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of the Trope named after him, but again, the matter of fact is Arcade deals with stronger things on a day to day basis when compared to Xanatos. I'd put the X-Men above the Manhattan Clan by a large margin, and I'm still not convinced on Xanatos's skill in mechanics. You just said he wins cause he's a good strategist, which frankly wouldn't fly here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
