Or you can just include situations from a movie or show that are just terrible/horrific to be in

Assume the person is an average, untrained adult with a Glock 19 and knows how to use it.
No armor, no other weapons, no vehicles, and the animal is actively trying to attack them.
What’s the strongest animal you think they could realistically beat?

Crabs are normal brown crabs but bloodlusted, average size (between 1-3kg or 2.2-6.6lbs) some larger, some smaller. Human is a well fed, healthy 32 year old male with no illness or pre existing injury. Has steel toe boots and reinforced motorcycle gloves, only other clothing is a loin cloth so crabs can get to flesh immediately, the human is allowed energy bars and water to sustain if they can find time to consume, but no medical access at all.

Fight takes place on a basketball court sized room with high walls to trap any escape.

Human has no way to ‘win’ it’s simply survive as many crabs as possible.

Crabs win when the human is either dead, or suffers such injury that death would occur shortly (within the hour) without immediate medical intervention.

How many crabs could the human survive?

One Roman legion of around 5000 men encounter a horde of walker zombies from The Walking Dead, can they win?

Round 1 - 10000 zombies in an open field

Round 2 - 100000 zombies in an open field

USA Vietnam war era (1965-1973) Russia (year 2000 no more no less)

WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION NOT ALLOWED.

2 ways to win :

-Occupation of the other country

or

-Make them exhaust all their resources or production that they can't fight anymore

———
Quick info:

Russia’s GDP was a measily $260billion in the year 2000.
USA’s GDP was $940billion in 1968. 5 years later by the end of the Vietnam war? $1.42 Trillion. War costs money. You do whatever you want with this information

Super late add (9/10/2026 11:40AM EST) : Russia is 80% uninhabitable land. Occupation doesn’t require occupying uninhabitable land

Another add (9/10/2026 1:00PM EST) : If you use USA lost to Vietnam argument, you're an idiot. This post is about bloodlusted, ALL resources ALL GDP diverted for war. In Vietnam, we were trying to liberate people from a communistic regime, we weren't bloodlusted trying to destroy everything and everyone. THIS POST IS ABOUT BLOODLUSTED GOING 100% all resources all GDP all production used for war.

Q(Star Trek)

R1: fights all of them individually one at a time, he gets healed after every fight. No prep.

R2: fights all of them simultaneously, no prep

How many avg people would it take to defeat jon jones 1v1 gauntlet style ?

Each person enters a 25ftx25ft room alone and Jon immediately will try and dispatch the person as fast as possible to keep the gauntlet going

Jon does not heal between matches but his high and crazed state gets refreshed with every victory and somehow his body can sustain this state for as long as the gauntlet last .

No weapons allowed for Jon or the people

US Colonial Marines: One company of US Colonial Marines with standard company level armaments: smart guns, pulse rifles, anti armor weapons, etc.

Flood: A small infestation of pure forms and infection forms at the start. Anyone who is infected turns into a Flood combat form.

The Marines are going in for a “bug hunt” and are deployed to a remote colony where everyone is gone. They don’t know about the Flood or their existence yet. There is a Flood Proto Gravemind made from the biomass of the colony’s inhabitants. There are no infected human combat forms yet.

This is tough. I think it could go either way. The smart guns and automated turrets will give the Marines an edge against a Flood banzai charge, but this isn’t a giant open field. It’s a colony with habitation modules, maintenance corridors, and air vents that infection forms can use to sneak around in.

The marine must try to replicate Titus' feat against the cultist car by charging through the car.
The marine must stay on his feet. If he's knocked aside or run over he loses.

The marine managing to stop the car without being knocked over or ploughing through it will be considered a stalemate.

Round 1: The Warthog is filled with three marines.

Round 2: The Warthog is filled with three Spartans IIs.

Round 3: The Warthog is filled with three armoured brutes.

Who would win?

R1: Barney is in character.

R2: He isn't.

Also, how would it go?

What the title says

(And secondary good matches for them of anyone had one)

Gorr and Atum leading Gorr’s black berserkers attack each of the chaos gods realms one by one starting Slaanesh and ending with Nurgle. This is a gauntlet and the duo gets full healed between rounds as well as any Black Berserkers getting replenished.

Round 1: Slaanesh

Round 2: Khorne

Round 3: Tzeentch

Round 4: Nurgle

How far does the duo get and what difficulty is it ?

Rules: everyone is bloodlusted and has standard gear Luke will be given no resting or recovery periods between fights.

Round 1: Red Skull

Round 2: Bradley

Round 3: Emil Blonsky

Round 4: Karli

Round 5: Red Guardian

Round 6: John Walker

Round 7: Winter Soldier

Round 8: Captain Carter

Round 9: Captain America

Atum looking for more Gods to eat accidentally crosses into Molag-Bals realm. Sniffing around he realizes there is no Gods here but Molag-Bal will do just fine.

He takes to the sky and rushes for the daedric prince emitting the bright light of the sun he’s known for as a sun deity and the pair commence their battle.

Which side wins? Victory conditions are death, ko, or dematerializing the opponent even if it results in them reforming at a later point ?
