Fight rules: both fighters at their peak, no preparation, no allies, only their own powers and personal gear. A win is a knockout, a restraint they can't escape, or a forced surrender. The percentages are fan estimates, not official information.

Powers

A body turned to metal on goat-hooved legs, a healing factor, poisonous gas from his transformed organs, and quills he grows from his forearms and throws. Atlantean sorcery let him summon a world-threatening parasite and swap minds with Reed (Ultimate Fantastic Four #27–32). IQ 198.

Gear

Swarms of mechanical mosquitoes, and dragon tattoos that mind-controlled his followers.

Signature feats

Made Latveria one of the world's richest nations in six months. Planted the parasite Zvilpogghua in Johnny Storm and named Reed's body as the price of the cure (Ultimate Fantastic Four #27–32).

Weaknesses

He can't heal wounds his own body causes, such as his quills.

Fighting style

Cult leader and saboteur: he wins with followers, poison and mind games more than straight fights.
