But it's not you who's going to kill them, someone has them hanging over a big pot of lava, or some other means to kill them, and all you have to do is give the word, and boom. They dead.

Would you do it?

I'd rather go there and personally kill them in battle, slowly being lowered into something to die is a crap death, and I'd want to give them a proper death :D

Yup, I would kill them, and I wouldn't tell them my plan before doing so, their death would not be elaborate, and I would watch.

Yes, that's write captcha, I'd kill them exactly like I was Genghis Khan, brutally and efficiently.

Tbh i would just leave them hanging until whatever i needed to do was done, then let them go. Better to keep the guy who has proven inept today around, rather than have another sent who is a mystery.

don't kill him beause if you do then you won't have an archnemesis and you have to find a new one and that just so much work

That's no fun.

Real rivalries need to be 1 on 1 battles, with awesome music and witty banter.


So this is what they call a heartwarming family reunion, eh?


You got that right.

I love you Vergil.

Have my babies.

It depend how insane/ immoral I am and also depend how annoying my archnemesis is. You didn't state our archnemesis is a superhero, maybe it is a rival supervillain. Either way if I had some respect with my archnemesis and vice versa (he/ she also respect me) then I wouldn't kill him/ her assuming if I was still the honourable type. If I had gone crazy sure I would killed my archnemesis with no problem.

No, they'll inevitably escape, you should tell them a plan, just not your plan. Make something up and implicate a bunch of people you don't like.

More son's of sparta daystar? I think someone has a man crush on a certain silver hair man *wink* .

OT: No , i would let him watch and suffer knowing he can do nothing! Unless i'm going up against a team , then i'd pick them off one by one till one is left and leave the last one alive.

Capcha : oh brother . Refering to dante and virgil , i guess .

I can't help it.

My brain keeps telling me that I should dislike how Vergil is the quintessential 'badass rival' trope, but I just can't help but love the guy.

I can believe the Joker would protect Batman till he's the one that at least gives the order, but I think being the one to give that order would be satisfaction enough for him. He has, in the past, had henchmen doing his dirty work, even in the Arkham video games... and how great are they!

I did love how Ozy, in Watchmen, tells Night Owl and Rorshach that the plan he unveils was done 30 minutes ago. Not typical for a super villain. I was also greatly amused in the animated feature, "The Incredibles" that the heroes get a good laugh over villains that "monologue".

Who can ever really figure out the behaviour of a super villain.

But if I were to be a killer character, it'd be a hero, like Punisher. He the one that said, "people say I don't pray for my enemies but they're wrong. I pray they go to Hell."?

If I was a supervillain I would make a gloating speech explaining my plans in great detail, then leave my nemesis (alone and not under surveillance) to his/her certain death, pausing briefly to say farewell in a sardonic tone and laugh maniacally.

After all, what could possibly go wrong?

I definitely would give the order to kill them. Though, of course, I'd know in my heart (if I still had one) that it wouldn't work. By some random and improbable chain of events they'd manage to escape death and come back for more. Isn't that how it always works?

If it was genuinely, 100% no backing out going to be the end for this guy, then I think I'd still do it, but I'd be pretty sad about it. Probably sad enough to destroy some small cities and create a whole new bunch of worthy adversaries.

Just shoot them in the head already. No monologues. No elaborate death traps. Just get it over with.

No, I will leave him alone, guarded by a single guard and next to my base's self-destruct button. There is no way that could backfire, right?

Ah. It's so nice to see these two interact. Despite the violence of most of their interactions, i always found Vergil and Dante's interactions surprisingly brotherly in a weird way. Sure, they were always fighting, but it seemed more like a typical sibling rivalry with swords and you could tell that, despite the fact they wanted to fight, they still did care for one another in their own strange way.
I honestly think both sons of sparda are awesome.

..You have my sympathies for the fact it's all going to be fucked up by Ninja Theory.

I'd love to just off them, but unfortunately, I'd be a supervillan, so that'd be against the rules.

I'd first have to make some elaborate trap that would kill them slowly, with nobody else in the room. Then I'd have to go on a long monologue to give them time to plot their escape. Then, of course, I'd leave the room to go party along with all my friends taking as long as possible to start the final faze of my plan, thereby giving them time to stop it after escaping.

I'm with Scott Evil on this one: kill him.
No discussion, no gloating monologue, no traps, one in the chest to keep him still and then two in the head to make certain.
Henchman morale will skyrocket once I've got my nemesis' head as a hood ornament for the Duckmobile.

Walk up to the hero, put bullet through throat. Then two more through the face. And then just to make sure, shoot them until the magazine is empty in gun. Then have their body vivisected. The only reason supervillains EVER loose" is because they are fucking idiots. "Herrderr! Lol, let's talk for a bit and tell you my secret plan." Or be like the guy from Watchmen, who implements his plan about half an hour before the good guys (Well. the grey guys, since that movie and the comic was disgustingly not black and white) even show up.
