Star Wars Marvel/DC Counter-Parts

[Admin]

The concept is simple: who do you believe in the DC and/or Marvel Universe would be the best counter-part for any and all Star Wars characters?

For example (not accurate, just to show the idea), Boba Fett: Deathstroke. Then you'd state why you think Deathstroke is the character most similar to Boba Fett.

Got it? Good. Have fun!

Just to repost what I said on CV:

Blackhole: Joker. Both believe that destruction is an end unto itself, and more than that, both believe that destruction is not only acceptable, it's natural and practically moral.

Who would you pick for the likes of Durge, Grievous, and/or Maul?

For Grievous, I want to say Metallo, but I am hardly an expert on Corben. So this comparison could be wrong (maybe Phantom or Morpheus or someone who has read more Superman comics than I have can clarify this). As I understand it, Corben was in a car accident, after which he was operated on and laced with cybernetics. The scientist who operated on him chose kryptonite as his power source specifically because he intended for Corben to be a weapon against Superman, whom the scientist considered a threat to the world. This caused Corben to start a vendetta against Superman as his humanity was stolen from him because of him. From what I understand, in at least one incarnation, Corben was also a member of the military. That being the case, these factors compare to Grievous fairly well. Grevious was a respected Kalee general whose homeworld was in constant battle against the Huk. Dooku sabotaged a flight that Grievous had, an accident he blamed on the Jedi and the Republic, leaving him nearly fatally injured. While being sustained in a bacta tank, Grievous was asked by San Hill if he wanted to be remade and serve the Separatists, being promised that the CIS would free his world if he did, which he agreed to. Grievous was left without much humanity but abhorred the notion that he is a droid. The underlying premise is that he was made mostly machine and was misled to attack an enemy that never actually did anything wrong to him, which, if I am not mistaken (though I might be), is similar to Metallo.

For Durge, Sabretooth might be similar enough. Both are soldiers, both have absolutely no regard for life (they enjoy taking lives, for that matter), both fight their nemeses (Wolverine for Creed; Mandos and Jedi for Durge) purely for the sake of fighting their nemeses, both have comparable attitudes (generally sardonic), both have personal animosities toward a certain person/people, both are long-lived, both have healing factors (obvious similarity). There are probably some other parallels that could be drawn.

I give up. I have absolutely nothing for Maul. He is just too difficult a character to match. The entire point of Maul's character is that he is a relentlessly loyal servant to Sidious to the point that he chastises himself when he fails and yet proved that he is willing to kill his master in true Sith tradition; has a rooted loathing of the Jedi Order, primarily due to Sidious raising him to hate them and partially due to Sidious implanting dreams in his mind about killing them; has a skewed sense of honor during combat which leads him to respect even an enemy he hates, such as Jedi, if they prove formidable; has demonstrated notable concern about the future of the Sith and his own role in the Sith's dominion of the galaxy; has an overconfidence that has cost him in battles; and is one of the best Sith swordmasters in history.

Who compares to that in Marvel or DC?
