The world is a dangerous place.

Men and women with power that leaves the world and all the insignificant lives upon it at their mercy. Many choose to exercise that power for selfish means, but a small group, a fraction of them; chose to use their power to defend the weak. They are the heroes of this world, the ones who risk their lives and sacrifice everything they are just to protect those that cannot protect themselves from the villains who would take everything from them.

Yet even these heroes, are flawed. They are not perfect despite their image of such. They are not all-powerful despite their actions speaking to the contrary. They make mistakes, allow emotion to cloud their judgement, and allow pride to stay their hand.

Villains are not born, they are made and often, they are made by the very heroes who fight to defend this world. These villains, in turn, make the heroes who fight them. A constant cycle that seems to have no end in sight, but ultimately, there is always something that changes. The world is never predictable, never simple, and always changes. Outliers and anomalies have come about many a time in the course of this cycle, but from this cycle, one rises that was different to the rest. He breaks the cycle and wades through the world of heroes and villains, forged by his actions and the actions of those around him.

His goals are simple, and the steps he takes to reach them are long and arduous. Each one is a struggle, but one that brings him ever closer to the end. However, often, the road to hell is paved with good intentions and as his journey progresses, the world suffers the consequences.

Injustice: The Path To Hell (DC Comics)

So, here we are, the end of the Days Gone By arc, a lot shorter than previous arcs and after this, we move on to the Birds of Prey Arc. Hope you all enjoyed this arc as Esau proves to be at a level where he can take on both Batgirl and Robin with ease. He's not on the level of Deathstroke or Batman yet, but what happened in that fight is not a real indication of how a fight would go down, not even close.


Anyway, let's get on with the character rankings:


1. Slade Wilson/Deathstroke (Unspecialised).


So, this is how the characters are ranked, now I personally believe that as Deathstroke said if Batman's morals didn't hold him back, Deathstroke would lose. However, because of those morals, I do believe that Deathstroke takes the lead in their fights, but it's a close 6/10 split in Deathstroke's favour. I have also decided to give Deathstroke the Unspecialised tab as well, much like Batman, he is a man who plans and relies on prep time to overcome powerful foes.


Next, we have Robin and Ravager. Some people might argue that Robin should take the lead and if this was normal, without Esau around, then that would be the case, even with Ravager having the serum. But, due to Esau and the way Slade used him to manipulate Rose, her improvement is much higher than it would be usually. She's not quite on the level of Batgirl who is older and more mature, able to take advantage of Rose's temper.


However, Ravager and Robin is a very close fight, a 6/10 in Rose's favour with Robin more skilled and much more level-headed and able to think things through. But, Robin is weaker and does have his morals holding him back. These are things that Batgirl has, the same strengths and weaknesses, but her strengths are at a higher level and her weakness at a lower one.


Rose on the other hand is much stronger and does not have morals to hold her back, she is more than willing to kill to get what she wants. On the other hand, Rose is incredibly short-tempered and that leads to her making mistakes when things don't go her way. 


Other than that, I think everything is self-explanatory for the rankings as seen from this arc and the way the fights turned out. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed and if you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.
