[@LittleZbot]

My personal favorite feat of the Doctor's is in one of the audio adventures, where a higher-dimensional being that eats fear and gets more powerful the more fear it absorbs set up shop on a planet devoted to attracting thrill-seekers. It reads the minds of everyone who comes near and absorbs all the fear they have ever felt throughout their life, while forcing the victim to re-live it all, often outright killing them. By the time the Doctor shows up, it's powerful enough to breach holes through the dimensional matrix and collapse the universe. So, how does he beat it? He allows it to read his mind and try to feed off of him. And the sheer amount of horrifying things he has seen over his lives is so vast, it terrifies the creature beyond any point of rational thought. It's literally too much terror for it to handle. The Doctor then permanently takes down the creature by mentally thinking about "things that even scare me." The Doctor has seen so much s**t that an eldritch horror was killed by him just thinking about some of it.

rick fans tend to forget that any single time an alien reads the doctors mind or finds out who he is they run as fast as they possibly can

[@HB-fq9nn]

@@koboldwizard Not to mention, the knowledge in the Doctor’s mind is so vast, that humans will die if they even have a fraction of it. All The Doctor has to do is use the memory dump via a headbutt, and Rick dies from knowledge overload.

[@aguila-wg3ug]

Something very similar happened in the episode 'Rings Of Akhaten', Akhaten was a giant living star that was going to consume the universe and then slowly the rest of the multiverse as well, but instead of feeding off fears it feeds on memories. To beat it The Doctor decides to simply give it his memories which despite not killing it, did serious damage to it. This guy was going to feed on the memories of everyone on the multiverse like Galactus feeds on planets, but the memories of only The Doctor were nearly too much for it.

Ricks biggest feats are kind of weakened after the end of season 5 since we learn everything that happened in season 1-5 had been taking place in realities that rick is smartest man alive. He was basically playing on easy mode. I could see the doctor using a simular trick as he did in the family of blood where he's trying every possible option he has instead of killing rick but ricks stubbornness makes it his only option

[@muffetmissulena6540]

Family of Blood is exactly what I was thinking of when I pictured the death here. The Doctor dropping a cold line against Rick like “Just remember. I gave you a choice…” and it’s Rick’s own hubris that leads to his undoing.

I disagree, in the recent episode it shows how smart Rick is. Rick Prime confirmed that our Rick is the second smartest Rick compared to the entire multiverse.

[@Timewarpiaman]

@@jeanpierre4370Yes within the confines of the Central Finite Curve where the only constant is that Rick is the smartest person in the Universe and we've seen beings smarter than Rick after the CFC was destroyed like the dinosaurs in JuRicksic Mort who were able to make a superior portal gun and fix the tear in spacetime the destruction of the CFC left behind. So we know there are beings smarter than Rick in Rick and Morty. Being the 2nd smartest version of yourself doesn't matter because we know the CFC was created to prevent the possibility of someone smarter than Rick showing up.

Courage vs Scooby will have a special place in my heart with how much Scooby Doo and Courage the Cowardly dog mean to me and for how the fight dropped on my birthday. As for this one, I was not expecting them to tackle this so soon. My money’s on the Doctor. Rick has done some impressive stuff but not nearly as impressive as what the Doctor has done. It’ll definitely be a good fight.

[@majoraplays6159]

I think the winner will be Doctor. Not only is he more powerful, but the Sonic Screwdriver can legit instantly disable ALL of Rick's tech. My guess for the death? Since the TARDIS is so heavey it can't land on Earth without crushing it apparently, he will disable Rick's tech and them crush him under the TARDIS. I want all the Doctors to show up (10 will most likely be used as the main one), and I want to see RIck bring out Mister Meeseeks and the Pocket Mortys

Yeah The Doctor is absolutely winning this one. While Rick does have impressive tech and is probably built better for combat, The Doctor is on an entirely different level. Rick is a super genius mad scientist while The Doctor is basically a magic time god. Not to mention the Sonic Screwdriver on it’s own basically hard counters almost all of Ricks arsenal, there’s nothing Rick can really do to finish The Doctor off.

[@Cumbernumb]

Except the doctor could only travel to another universe by accident and couldn’t do it again while Rick can travel the multiverse casually, has the level of tech To separate the infinite universe from itself, made a universe just to power his car, tech bomb that can destroy a person in every conceivable universe and even if u kill him he has a back up clone which can back up to every universe where a clone exists making him functionally immortal.

[@JIreland1992]

@@Cumbernumb the doctor travels through time which based on how it works innDoctor Who means he is technically travelling to an alternate universe. Also, the bomb that Prime Rick had likely won’t be a factor in this fight. It was only recently revealed and this episode was researched and completed well in advance. Rick also doesn’t possess that bomb anymore, Evil Morty does.

[@Timewarpiaman]

I think the instant death field from Rick should be comparable to Dalek blasters which iirc has been stated to kill a person "In the most painful way imaginable" and kills in an instant and The Doctor survived has survived being shot many times long enough to regenerate.

[@Timewarpiaman]

One of the crazier abilities The Doctor has is since they exist somewhat outside of spacetime this means The Doctor can evade attacks and land attacks instantly as they can manipulate when their attacks make contact and can react to attacks instantly.

[@aguila-wg3ug]

I feel like this shows how in versus some characters can play out very differently from how they usually do. As Death Battle tries to decide who would realistically win when the narrative is ignored. If these two fought in a crossover comic or something like that then I can easily see something happening that would give Rick the win, but realistically... Well, The Doctor himself said piloting the Tardis means ALL of time and space, having all of it in your hands gives you an unlimited amount of bullshit things to do.

[@CEWinick]

I will say this now as a prediction: this fight will honestly be the most controversial episode of the year. I love that the match is happening and it even made me do my first prediction blog on the fight. However, the poor business and creative decisions like the firing of the creator of R&M and the Timeless Children is a big landmine in just bringing it up. I return with in making the G1 blog and we all have mixed opinions of the 13th on just adding her. But minus all of that and focusing on the fight itself, this should be an easy win for the Time Lord. His abilites, experience, and deadly weapons is all he needs to take down Rick over his half-decade of media. The Doctor has major counters to disable or hack Rick’s weapons and even if Rick outclasses him The Doctor has his incarnations to back him up. I been a fan of Doctor Who, and I am surprised of him still have old material to impress me of the character. Overall, great video and this has been a banger in the match ups. Question: With the season finale being near and having all these ballin episodes, what matchup you think will end the season? Hope you enjoy the discussion itself.

[@TheRappter]

Thank you so much! As for the finale, it's hard. Part of me is thinking Galactus VS Unicron but I'm not really sure how it would fit on the Cipher Wheel. I guess they could end it with Bowser VS Eggman, but that would possibly require Rick VS The Doctor to be the suit instead of the beaker and I'm not sure how likely that is....maybe the Cereal Mascot Battle Royale as the recycling symbol?? No idea really 😅

[@bernkastel7438]

I love the matchup thematically but it’s held back for me a fair bit because of how one-sided it is. Doctor wins without question, and I’m saying this as a fan of Rick and Morty. (I don’t buy boundless doctor or much of his stuff from vs battle wiki, but he still has a lot over Rick, especially durability) There’s literally almost no room for debate at all. Either way tho, I think the fight itself matters the most. I don’t care as much about the result, and I’m hoping that Rick gets a really cool death scene. It’s really easy to misunderstand his character so I’m hoping DB makes the characterization shine in this episode and has them use all their gadgets in interesting ways.

I wonder if Doctor Who is now the hardest to research for Death Battle. I mean imagine the size of One Piece, but there is canon supplemental material with important feats to consider, including not only novels and comics but also radio series, and some of the early arcs (let alone episodes) of TV series are entirely lost, and the protagonist doesn't have a consistent power creep to where early seasons are better off discarding. Oh and on top of that, despite no powercreep it isn't because of a JoJo type reset w/ new protagonist, all that changed was personality.

An Immovable Object wears away with time and effort. An Unstoppable Force loses impact with resistance. True to the nature of both combatants, Victory is merely a matter of Patient observation.

[@averagegamecritic]

@@CyColt not really. That’s literally their nature. It’s in the name. Stoppable means it will stop (however long it takes), un means not. Movable means it will move (however much force it takes).

This match up is up there with Hercules vs Wukong for its potential. Really stoked to see Death Battle approach this one as it could be very contentious. As for the battle itself... Rick is screwed. I like him as a character but The Doctor is just on another level entirely.

[@MrChava54]

In my opinion: Rick + More varied combat arsenal + Canonically has watched Doctor Who (though to what exact extent is very ill defined) + Has far more experience when it comes to physical combat + Can travel more instantaneously due to portal gun, although it can run out of charge or be hacked into + Potentially faster - Has had trouble fighting god-esque beings before, like when he fought Zeus in the show and Cthulu in the comics, first where he needed outside help to win and the second where he realized he had no chance of victory. And while the Doctor isn't on the same level, he had no power at all to stop Rhett Caan. - Most technology can be disabled by the Sonic Screw Driver. - Tardis generally beats Ship, due to versatility, defensive measures, complexity, and hax, although likely not as high in immediate destructive potential - Can be injured or have limbs removed, even though he was able to implant new ones - No longer has access to Project Phoenix - Hates time travel stories with a passion, so could arguably be caught off guard by it - Is outclassed by time travel abilities regardless - Certain defensive options and contingency plans, like injection clones, defensive grids, and back-up holograms could be limited to the Smith house or require extra time or outside help to fulfill The Doctor + FAR more experienced, as he is around 1000 years old and has been on far more adventures. + Regeneration could continue the fight for a long time if Rick isn't given time to realize how it works + Has defeated far more reality and even concept ending threats + Energy released from each regeneration is powerful enough that it could fry Rick completely if focused correctly + Potentially smarter, even if Rick has seen Doctor Who + While hard to say limit of power for both, Doctor Who's cosmology is potentially much larger and more complex than that of Rick and Morty's, even with its infinite realities - More used to outsmarting enemies and manipulating environment rather than physical combat - Can be killed if not able to regenerate fast enough - Does sometimes require time to adjust to a fresh regeneration - Could be overwhelmed with devices like the Instant Kill Coat and Meeseeks box This fight is going to be super close. I love Rick, but even with personal biased towards Doctor Who set aside, I have to give it to the Timelord. I feel he has enough advantages to take the win more times than not.

Everyone is going to have their own interpretation of how they view things. That's the very nature of them. That's just what I've gathered from passionately watching and loving both shows. Even The Rapptor has said that it's all subjective constantly, especially recently.

@@MrChava54 Well I'm sorry You think I'm mean. I'm not sure what I said that was so mean, but I apologize. All I'm saying is that based on feats and scaling. The Doctor stomps and it's not even remotely close and feats are facts not opinions. Feats are the biggest thing in vs debates. If Someone has higher level feats then another. They scale higher and the person who scales higher wins in most cases in cases were both are equal or relative then You go off haxs which is still feats. However in this instance it's not that close and even if it was Dr Who still wins because he outhaxs Rick. Dr Who blitzes and one shots. This isn't a Death battle. It's Rick's execution. A one sided massacre in the favor of Dr Who.

[@MrChava54]

@@GoldenNamekianGlenn Hehe, you weren't being mean. I was just kidding. Well, that's the thing. People will always have different ways of interrupting feats. Obviously, certain are more well-defined then others, but plenty of times, people bring up different reasons why certain feats aren't what they mean. A few debunkers have said Carnage surviving the Gene-Bomb puts him at planetary. Death Battle obviously didn't. Everyone thought Discord wins due to his ability to draw off chaos, but Bill still won. Most people think Alien X is Omniversal or Omnipotent. But I'm a massive, MASSIVE Ben 10 fan and wanted him to kick Green Lanterns dorky-butt so badly, but even I see the so many different holes in that logic that it's just so hard to believe. And that's only to name a few. Hell, scaling is the most subjective thing about VS Debating! Even certain people who scale can agree on that! I could debate for a while how Star Butterfly is or isn't universal, as there are so many factors to say that she is or isn't, like the spellbook, who's performed similar feats, and how smart she is and how much she's read. But others thinks she is and others think she is objectively not. My opinion isn't wrong, because it can't be objectively wrong or right. It's all who you are and how you look at it. The only way a fight could be 100% objectively concluded is if both creators of said series got together and could mutually agree on who would win. And you know fans would still try to debate it afterward somehow. Not to mention the creators of the shows aren't considering fights in mind when making them. They're focused on creating a good story and characters. This means things don't always line up with each other, like Stan Lee saying Daredevil is equal to Spiderman or Alien X can destroy a multiverse in 6 thoughts by an editor. That same editor later said he doesn't remember ever saying that, but Ink Tank still believes that automatically means it's correct, plus the many who still think he's the end-be-all when it comes to that fight. And who completely ignored the fact Green Lantern's shared power with the rest of the core or the fact that he's the same Hal Jordan and not different versions of himself. Kirkman, the creator of Invincible, said Mark could kill Superman and fans believe him. Even though, you know, it's Superman. So again, I was just saying, based on my love and knowledge of the two shows, that's how I think it will go down. That's all I was saying. You can think it's a stomp. I'd love for you to be right. I don't want the Doctor to die. We've all seen the episode Turn Left! Bad things can happen, hehe! But to say anyone's opinion is completely and utterly wrong when it comes to versus matches debating is probably the most incorrect thing you could say. We're taking two separate fictional characters and having them fight. It objectively can't be objective. Even Ben, the voice of Wiz, has said this many times before. That's literally the reason they changed the "Let's end this debate once and for all" to "We've run the data through all possibilities."

[@GoldenNamekianGlenn]

@@MrChava54 I always go for the cut and dry feats. If a feat needs interpretation I don't use it because we can't know where that scales although I feel like If we do use those kinds of feats I think it's fair if we take the lowest that People scale it and the highest that People scale it and meet in the middle. But You should never use feats that aren't cut and dry otherwise it would be what ifs and guesses. Death battle has gotten lots of death battles wrong. Hulk vs Broly for example was hilariously wrong. Also Ben Ten vs Green Lantern was correct. Hal defeated the embodiment of all will power in the universe with his will power alone. Keep in mind the DC universe is conceptually above Ben Ten's verse in terms of size and scaling. Not to mention Green Lanterns weaker than Hal Jordan (Kilowog in this instance) have tanked entire retcons. Didn't affect Them. Green Lanterns have also fought and survived against the Anti Monitor and even managed to bring him down not beat but bring him down meaning they were at least relative to him. They were working together but Hal Jordan still scales higher than all of the green lantern corps together and that has been stated in the comics. Alien X may be multiversal or whatever. Hal Jordan Green lantern is high outerversal and many layers into it. You can even argue boundless+ for higher end feats. Alien X dies. Even if You use Alien X Multiversal feats. But yeah when I do vs debates I only allow cut and dry feats pure facts. Not feats that are up for interpretation. There are lots of times where the winner is clear and not "Up for interpretation" Rick vs The Doctor is one because the cold hard feats that are cut and dry are in favor of Dr Who and it's not even remotely close. A lot of matches shouldn't even be a debate. I'm sorry I find it stupid. Scaling shouldn't be this complicated. If a character has feats better than another that character wins it's as simple as that. I don't understand what's so hard about that. I do think using feats that are up for interpretation is dumb as well. I'm sorry but I do. But if we have to do it like I said meet in the middle of the high end and low end of where that feat scales. Otherwise it's gonna be a matter of opinion not fact.

[@MatthewDiLeva]

This is a pretty big stomp if I ever saw one. I don’t know how Rick could win if he even has _something_ very obscure we don’t know about if they composite him.

[@derrickhaggard]

This is going to be a wild and wacky fight. But I'm going with the Doctor due to his various gadgets some of which puts the stuff Rick has invented to shame including the iconic Sonic Screwdriver which can basically do anything the Doctor needs it to including permanently deactivating enemy technology which means all of Rick's gadgets are now useless. And feats wise and abilities wise it's no contest the Doctor has these categories in the bag for example the Doctor's Regeneration basically means Rick has no way to kill him heck the warrior incarnation of either the 8th Doctor, or the 9th Doctor the War Doctor tried to end the civil war on Galafrey by using a unnamed device to seemingly kill every Time Lord on the planet including himself it didn't work as a couple of Time Lords including himself survived and regenerated, and then there's the feats while Rick has stopped a multiversal crisis every once and while it's usually one he caused himself, whereas the Doctor pretty much stops a multiversal crisis on a regular basis like every week to 4 weeks and it's gotten to the point to where the iconic Time Lord has gotten use to it and is no longer surprised by it along with fending off various alien armies bent on either complete genocide or complete conquest, fending off vicious robot armies bent on either complete genocide, or complete conquest like the Cybermen, and the Daleks, is a master martial artist/melee weapon specialist who has mastered every for martial art, and melee weapon both human and alien, is a master with all ranged weapons again both human and alien, along with having more experience then Rick. So yeah Rick is going to die.

[@FranTheNerd]

from my understanding rick can possibly take the doctor down and would more likely go for a killing shot, thing is the doctor's regeneration can act as a buffer and give the doctor enough time before being vulnerable during his regeneration to end the fight if he realizes he's in danger. Rick has no defense against things like the moment. Even the pheonix protocol would be erased entirely

[@derrickhaggard]

Speaking of The Moment the War Doctor tried to use it to end the Galafraian Civil War by killing every Time Lord including himself it didn't work as somehow a few Time Lords including himself were able to regenerate.

@@derrickhaggard Simply put there is a reason given, that it follows what the doctor wants. And he didn't want EVERY timelord dead. Besides, there's no reason to think it wouldn't work on the pheonix protocol considering rick is a human and timelords are....well timelords.

[@angrypvz1236]

I am ignorant to the doctors strengths as I haven’t watched the series, but Rick to me feels like a sci-fi bugs bunny where at his peak, he basically can sci fi nonsense his way out of every scenario. He has means of surviving within hypothetical space (the Schrödinger cat area), can exist within the 4th wall and can mess with meta and canon, has ways of detecting fate and manipulating through entropy, can easily scan the multiverse for whatever he needs, he has a spray that can kill higher dimensional creatures. The thing that sways this fight towards the doctor from my understanding is the doctors cool headedness and his adaptability. To me this really comes down to a battle of how much Rick is determined to screw over the Doctor. Rick will build a device that can merge realities just to spite someone soooo

[@tropicturtle9021]

The doctors biggest advantage is pretty much that he’s been doing the same kind of nonsense Rick has been doing, but has been doing it for waaay longer. Not only is doctor who itself a really old series with tons of material to pull from, but the doctor himself is canonically billions of years old and has literally seen so much shit that on two different occasions a practical eldritch god went insane just from reading his mind. I’m not exaggerating, he won by just showing them the things he’s seen in his life. The dude deals with threats that threaten the very fabric of reality on a nearly daily basis, and is the most dreaded figure across all time and space in his universe. Like, there really is no good reason to say Rick wins. We can’t even say rick is more willing to kill, cause the doctor can and will commit actual genocides if he feels he’s been left no choice but to do so. (Even did it to his own race when they threatened to destroy the universe)

[@Living_Life242]

Things that I'm hoping we'll see: Rick makes a sci-fi weapon entirely out of wood, so the Sonic Screwdriver doesn't work on it. Rick sends Mr. Meeseeks and/or his decoys to fight The Doctor and The Doctor manages to talk things out with them and resolve things peacefully, maybe even getting them to help them. The Time Cops show up, take one look at The Doctor and run away in terror. Rick says "Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub" (even though he hasn't said that since Season 1) and The Doctor instantly understands and adjusts their strategy. The Doctor pulls out their ultimate weapon; The Moment (more powerful than the Daleks' Reality Bomb, which was just a much more powerful Omega Device), which allows them to travel completely unrestricted through time and space and destroy anything and everything they wish to. But then does The Doctor thing by instead going back to Rick's crybaby origin story and saving Diane and Beth.

The Doctor has more experience, longer life, etc. Rick knows everything about the Dr. (he has interdimensional cable, so he's seen everything we've all seen and more), rick has some tech that can affect story line, that's where the Dr. doesn't have a break in the 4th wall. Having known about the Dr. (even as a "possibility" he's already designed something to deal with him (which might normally break death battle rules, but because of the subject it's unavoidable). Plus from my Dr. Who knowledge, he only has a limited experience with different timelines/universes, there's Limbo where there's nothing, and the timeline he left Rose Tyler on. but Rick changes timelines pretty frequently. Rick looks down on time travel, and the doctor isn't known for Interdimensional travel, its known that the TARDIS can go to anyplace and anytime, but have they ever said any universe, any timeline?

[@alexpennymeme1905]

The Doctor is absolutely known for inter-dimensional travel and changing timelines, he just chooses not to because he knows it can have repercussions in the show. He only changes timelines if there is no other way, and in Death Battle, morals are off, so he's not exactly going to care about changing time in order to secure a win

[@KillerOrangeCat]

The Doctor is way overpowered. He plays a mental chess game in his head and he is always steps ahead of where he lets people think he is. Rick does this too. But I think the Doctor does it better.

I must have been asleep for all the episodes where the doctor is actually high tier multiversal power level, I’ve seen all the doctor who episodes from Christopher ecclestone to like halfway through Jodie whittakers run (I couldn’t be bothered to continue watching more if it was like her first two seasons) and I don’t remember time lord tech being much more than universal, maybe barely multiversal but not on the same level as Rick regularly is

[@TheCraftySam]

Some of the doctors bigger feats come from material outside the show, for instance the Time war was a lot more than daleks and timelords shooting each other with lasers. Full on Eldritch abominations were spawned and used in the time war, both sides resorted to extremes with their weapons. There were some planets that dealt with the temporal aftereffects of timelord weapons that hadn't even been placed yet. Or the Could of been King and his army of Neverweres, an army formed of parts and creatures that could have evolved but didn't thus never existing. Or the nightmare child, a "perfect" dalek that grew so powerful even it's creator davros was consumed in it's rabid hunger. The Nightmare child was stopped by shooting actual planets at it. Somehow, the Doctor not only survived that 400 year hellscape without a weapon, he also never regenerated ONCE during the entire time war and straight up ended it too. Don't underestimate the Doc, it's been the death of his enemies before.

[@helious5056]

Also on the front of Rick clones The doctor can achieve something similar The alternate versions of himself throughout time, notably bringing at least 13 versions of himself together for one common goal during the day of the doctor And if we're giving the doctor everything then there's going to be definitely more than 13 doctors that The doctor could call upon during this death battle, All of which to some degree should scale to each other and off each other and work with each other far better than anything I've seen when it comes to Rick working with himself

[@CaptCutlass1456]

If you ask me, one of the biggest advantages in Rick's favor is that he KNOWS about Doctor Who, if his boast during the Season 3 finale is to be believed. While that advantage didn't pan out for Discord in his fight, it was still enough for him to essentially win the war for Equestria instead of the Death Battle. Given Rick's wile, intelligence, and disregard for most decorum or decency, I feel he's more than capable of banking on this insider knowledge to pull off a win. Even without this explicit knowledge, Rick has plenty of relevant feats and equitable tech to the Doctor's powerset: he's been shown to have the means to power himself up enough to challenge a literal planet-f***ing god, a network of resurrection stations throughout the multiverse (at least his own) that all have the potential to react to any Rick's death anywhere in said multiverse, and the soundness of mind to navigate an ever-expanding clusterf*** of uncertainties to attack a time cop (strangely beneficial experience for this fight). Also, there's more ways for Rick to attack the Doctor than electronic weapons susceptible to the Sonic Screwdriver: there's the mech he built in the Teeny-Verse (bereft of all conventional technology), the magic gun in the dragon universe, the insta-incubator that he and his toxic selves used to resurrect each other (the former in the latter's own body), and [dare I say it] the pickle serum(?) that he used to turn himself (and assumedly anyone else he would want to incapacitate) into a pickle. There are probably others, but these are the major ones that come to mind. As for more direct counters, Rick was shown in the Season 3 opener to resist mental probing to some degree: he had his brain essentially locked in a psychic vice but still managed to outwit the team of aliens monitoring him and escape. And need I mention the Zigerians? The telekinesis can also be countered by Rick's own (albeit hypothetical) telekinesis acquired from screwing the Predator-styled Xenomorph hybrid from the penultimate Season 3 episode The ABC's of Beth (if the after credits scene is taken to its logical conclusion). One final nugget to consider: multiverses don't equate 1:1 to timelines, they surpass them. Every timestream can be considered a river delta where each decision creates a branching possible future. Traveling timelines equates to traveling to different points along this same river. Multiverses, on the other hand, equate to completely different rivers, each with their own network of branching possibilities. Unless the Doctor can travel between rivers and not just to different points along his single branching river, then Rick has the higher conceptual advantage in this field. I will admit that I'm not the biggest Doctor Who fan, so I'm only getting my info in that respect from this video and what I've gleaned from general knowledge and the Lego Dimensions game. Any inaccuracies or challenges you wish to offer can be left in the comments below. (Yes, I am a Rick and Morty fan; some of us try NOT to be toxic. Rate my success in this regard below as well, if you want.)

[@Saulgoodmas]

Really, really great gathering of ideas and feats. I'm here to drop some Doctor who stuff from what I know. While you mention some great feats for Rick, that's for sure. The Doctor outclasses in everyway. While the immorality of multiple forms might be tricky for The Doctor, The Doctor has many ways of getting around it. For one, we know this is hackable. Evil Morty managed to hack this protocol. The Doctor should be able to find out this protocol through many of ways. For one, his sonic can track energy signatures from an entirely different dimension (Which can effect physical forms, it was able to track life force from an entirely different ascauality plane) The Sonic should be able to shut off this funcion. The Doctor is straight up immune to magic. (No, literally) Making that useless. Would makes it so the Sonic wouldn't be able to hack it but it isn't immune to the Sonics offensive attacks which can damage star-level creatures. The Doctor has negated both regeneration and Matter Manipulation through his Sonic, making the serum useless. The Doctor has also resisted toxins able to wipe all life on earth This is ignoring all the other things the Doctor can do to hurt Rick. The Doctor can capure Rick's soul, BFR Rick to another plane of existance, Erase Rick from existance, break the fundamentals of time itself, Can destroy things that haven't even happened yet and so much more. Conceptual advantage I doubt. Cosmology scaling is not my thing at all but The Doctor Who Multiverse is insane.

[@Saulgoodmas]

@@CaptCutlass1456 There’s a lot of different factors of why The Doctor still has issues in his own verse. The main one is that he IS generally a sort of pacifist who would rather avoid a lot of big conflicts when he can. One of the times he snapped (During the ‘family of blood’) two parter. He froze a young boy in time to live forever, trapped a young girl in a mirror, locked a woman in unbreakable chains and dropped her into the Sun. So much of the Doctors conflict comes from the idea of he’s trying to solve these AS peaceful as he can. If he can talk, learn, understand the problems of his foes then he will. Another is that so many of his foes are high tier foes. Daleks, Cybermen, weeping angels, the upcoming Toymaker, they’re all insanely powerful foes who put the Doctor on his toes

[@CaptCutlass1456]

@@Saulgoodmas I might have found a clear way for Rick to win. But first, some counter arguments: -Evil Morty did screw with the Phoenix protocol, but this could be construed a number of ways that downplay this feat’s effect on C-137. It could be that he just hijacked the Citadel’s network of reanimating chambers (leaving the garage units untouched), or he specifically targeted the Citadel’s Ricks for his scheme (as these life signatures would be the only ones he had access to as the Citadel’s leader). While the system and individual units could be hacked, there would still be one in each of a near unlimited number of universes that would also need to be dealt with or accounted for. -The Doctor himself might be immune to magic, but is the Sonic Screwdriver? If that’s altered, destroyed, or otherwise taken off the table, that’s Rick’s complete arsenal opened back up. -People keep mentioning how the Doctor is a pacifist, which leads me to think that Rick has at least some window of opportunity to pull something off before the Doctor takes universe-ending or soul-destroying measures. By Death Battle rules, the Doctor shouldn’t know about Rick (unless such knowledge was established in the show), meaning there’s even less precedence for a killing blow to be the first resort. Eventually, perhaps, but I’m reminded of Tatsumaki vs Mob… -Alternate planes of existence? I’m pretty sure those can be considered alternate dimensions; this is only a theoretical parallel, so not a 100% counter. -Immunity to toxins and/or viruses deadly to humans… are Time Lords physically equivalent to humans but built stronger, or are they more of an alien species that are completely built different from the ground up? Less a counter, more of a clarification question. And now for the main event: gentlemen and ladies, I give you the mind-swapping gun (season 3 opener). The Doctor’s regeneration is (assumedly) tied to his physiology as a Time Lord; Rick’s Phoenix protocol is tied to his mind/spirit. What happens when Rick pulls a Captain Ginyu and swaps his mind with the Doctor’s? That would put both criteria for reincarnation into one vessel and leave the Doctor vulnerable to a permanent KO. While this does involve a tech piece that the Doctor could subdue with the Sonic Screwdriver, it doesn’t guarantee destroying it; and if there’s a way to fix any of his gadgets on the fly or rig a way to use them without electronic components susceptible to the Sonic Screwdriver, I could very well see Rick pulling it off.

Wish it was Rick Sanchez vs Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phinaes and Ferb, but this episode will be a crazy good one

[@pg3dgaming634]

Ong I wanted Rick vs Doofenshmirtz too

[@bernkastel7438]

I thought this matchup would be a stomp, but Doofenshmirtz actually has some crazy stuff after doing more research. So honestly I think this is a great idea. If Rick returns after his loss I’d want this MU.

[@jwwprod3862]

I feel in a prep battle the Doctor has the advantage. In a random encounter with no prep at all I feel like Rick could have the advantage.

[@brettpalmer1770]

Is Rick aware that he is a fictional character? This might be a bit of a tangent but in one of the old Dr. Who shows I think it is implied that you can beat him if you turn him into fiction. I don't know if this adds up to anything.

[@FranTheNerd]

i believe he has since they bypassed that

[@erratas8909]

Bro rick is a big dr. Who fan lmao

[@Saulgoodmas]

The Doctor actually has many instances of breaking out of his own comic before. so, that really wouldn't help.

[@erratas8909]

You forgot to mention Rick is a big fan of Dr. who franchise and it's what inspired him to do science stuff in the first place I don't know how deathbattle will make them fight, it doesn't make sense if Rick doesn't know the doctor given that he knows him all his life but it also won't make sense if Rick knows the doctor cause it contradicts deathbattle's rules.

[@averagamer9222]

I mean, Discord knew who Bill was, and how he died, so it's not totally impossible for that to play out here.

[@erratas8909]

@@averagamer9222 Then in that case Rick had the biggest advantage cause he knows what the doctor is capable of, deathbattle will probably argue both are equal in tech and Intelligence cause they've done that in the past despite one combatant is superior to the other in terms of this specific ability but deathbattle made them equal anyway.

[@Knight6831]

There is a reason why you never make the Doctor your enemy as the monsters of the universe fear the doctor, when the Doctor stops holding back, they are truly terrifying What the 10th doctor did to the Family of Blood was him being kind

Doesn't the 10th Doctor die in an alternate reality, by being shot by a Dalek, shortly after a regeneration - and he succumbs to his wounds, because his regeneration powers have a cool down that is too long for him to heal in time ? If I remember correctly, his companion (at the time) had to erase that alternate timeline and/or return to the main timeline, in order for the Doctor to be alive again. We recently learned that Rick Prime created a weapon capable of killing anyone 'across infinity' - meaning that, once anyone is killed by that device, every single version of that target instantly dies, in every single universe - which would make every single version of the Doctor die, in every single universe. However, I'm not sure it would work across alternate timelines, as well, or just alternate universes. Besides, Rick 'sealed' himself in all of the universes where he is the smartest man alive - which leaves a potentially infinite number of universes where he isn't the smartest one - universes where the Doctor is much smarter than him, for instances. Furthermore, the device that kills through infinity might not properly work in those 'outer universes'. In any case, it would be interesting to see if that weapon actually could kill every single version of the Doctor, in every single universe and, most importantly, for how long and, even more importantly, how many times ? Imagine every single version of the Doctor dying for a few seconds, then regenerating and banding together to fight Rick. Imagine every single version of the Doctor trapped in an endless loop of death and regeneration, while Rick just gets bored after a few minutes and decides to get drunk and fight the president, just because why not ?

[@alexpennymeme1905]

Thing is, you can say that, but the doctor has literally survived being in a death loop - for 4 billion years - and escaped. Plus, he also has three weapons that can erase Rick an infinite amount of times; the Moment, the Key to Time, and the Heart of the TARDIS. Hell, if the fight has them both inventing stuff on the fly, the Doctor might just re-invent the reality bomb as he damn well knows how to easily. And if the Doctor has the reality bomb then he wins instantaneously. Then again, he wins instantly with the three weapons I mentioned. The problem for Rick is that the Doctor has had 60 years worth of media to have developed so many more counters. Rick is going to get stomped
