A nice, bloody Battle Royale... but Aram without a doubt. LV99 doesn't stand a chance. Aram would rend him limb from limb.

The boys and girls over on Facebook seem to argue LV-99 takes it, and that Armstrong cannot match. :hm:

I say LV99 rips Armstrong's head off! Do we know what happens (theoretically) if his head is detached?

You bring up a good point and the first thing that popped into my mind.
Lv99 is a genetically engineered war mechine.
I'm sure head removal will work for any of the brothers.
Lv99 is like a hulk terminator. Hands down Armstrong dies.

Lv99 is like an Alien. And I'm sure Lv99 has acid blood too.
I don't think Armstrong has a chance against an Alien either. To fast. Poky tail and fingers. Bite and rip stab and slice.
None of the brothers are invincible and enough damage or head trauma and they are out. Hell Lv99 could just eat Armstrong. *good luck with that!
I Miss the good old days.

I think of Armstrong as kind of like the Hulk. If you *SQUEE* him off enough he will Fukushima you up.

Great point! LV99 could just eat him, no coming back from that! :lol: Unless FVL writes some nonsense where Armstrong can do anything and becomes even more over powered than he already made him!

Armstrong is not one of my charaters so I don't I know alot about his adventures. Can you name a time or show him hulking out. Can he lift a bus because I'm sure we've seen Lv99 lift a bus. Or atleast toss shipping containers.

Not on the same level as The Hulk. I'll list a few feats below.

Catapulted into the air and able to stop an alien space craft with his fist.

While we do not know the biological make up of these aliens, we do know Armstrong crushed their skulls with his fists.

Despite some of the worst art in the Bloodshot series, here we see Armstrong breaking Bloodshot's back before fighting him to a draw.

Not sure how much The Boon weighs, but here is Armstrong with it on his back.

Concrete weighs 150 lbs per cubic foot. So if The Boon is 7' tall, 4' wide, and 6" thick (estimated) then it likely weighs between 1,800-2,000 lbs.

We've also seen Aram just rip a bank vault door open and off its hinges without the slightest struggle.

We've also seen him have a baseball sized hole blown straight through his face and out the back of his head. I don't even think he went down.

How big are these guys? :?

I figure LV-99 is what, 8-9 ft tall? 400-500 lbs?

Armstrong has got to be in the 6'6" to 6'10" range and likely around 375?

Wow Armstrong is hulk. So why he's so strong. Glad can't even do any of that. And they are brothers .

It is stuff like this especially the Dino that really makes me miss Turok. There is something to be said for a hero who has no special powers other than his normal human physical ability and high intellect.
Nothing hoky about Turok...

None of the brothers powers are very similar. I'm not sure Ivar even has powers.
Alone, listless, breakfast table in an otherwise empty room.

I'd much prefer to get hammered with Armstrong, for whatever that is worth.

Agreed. Drinking with LV-99 would likely suck really bad.

No way! Armstrong flying through the air and all he says is, "sup", was awesome.

LV-99 is a killing machine that can easily rip a person apart...but it would be hard to rip anything apart after Aram tore your arms off. I think Aram wins in the end but not easily.
