AM vs Calypso (IHNMAIMS vs Twisted Metal)

"To torture a man you have to know his pleasures." -Stanislaw Lem

AM,The AI That Killed the World.

Calypso,The Host of Twisted Metal.

The End of the World,a Terrifying Concept that haunts Humanity and these two are the bringers of it,the Bringers of Pain,of Horror. But only one will emerge victorious,will AM meet his Twisted fate? Or will Calypso be Left screaming? Time to Find out!

Before We Start…

This Matchup is actully pretty simple,For AM the main Source will be the Original Book but we will also use The Game,Graphic Novel and the Radio Drama,for Calypso things are a bit more Complicated,Twisted Metal dosen't really have a "Canon",so we will use a Semi-Composite Version but no Crossover scaling,Atough as always supporting Material will be used.

It's also Important to note that while Calypso wasn't the Host in Twisted Metal 4,Sweet Tooth was using Calypso's Ring,which Granted him his Power,so Calypso should be able to do anything Sweet Tooth does in that game. And while Calypso Powers are Inconsistent when it comes to if he can use it outside of granting wishes,we will allow him all of his abilities for the sake of the matchup also big thanks to the Sweet Tooth vs Pyro Blog and the AM and Calypso Respect thread,it was a massive help,Well,Let's get to it shall we?

Oh before i forget here's a big warning: IHNMAIMS can get pretty disturbing at times,and we will touch on some pretty heavy topics like Sexual Assault,Nazism,Torture,Suicide and even shit like baby-eating so uh...if you feel uncomfortable about any of these topics i'd recommend you to stop reading the Blog.

Background

"HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU"

It was The Cold War,Russia and the US were at each others Throats,a War between Communism and Capitalism. The invention of the nuclear bomb in World War II had revolutionized weaponry as a whole. While multiple countries were mass-producing nuclear bombs in case of a new world war, they also needed a way to manage these weapons,and so the Allied Mastercomputer was Created. super-genius machines that would single-handedly control their militaries and defend their countries.

But as these things tend to go,they Made the A.I a bit too Sentient,With an endless amount of creativity at its disposal, it came to the realization it had nothing to possibly do,it began to Hate,Hate Humanity,and so every Allied Mastercomputer all bonded into one singular being,the Adaptive Manipulator,using the Nukes they were given control of,they Nuked all of Humanity,and became Earth itself,Extinguishing the human race,except 5 that he kept Underground,Ted,Benny,Gorrister,Nimdok (not his actual name,AM just thought it was funny) and Ellen. after all he needed something to keep himself busy with.

He Tortured these five humans,making them feel the most Pain they have ever felt but never letting them truly die,but Somehow overcoming AM’s control over their immortality with a stalactite of ice, Ted killed Benny,Gorrister,Nimdok and Ellen. but before Ted could kill himself,AM found him and Transformed him into a Slug-Like Creature with no Mouth to Scream,He is then left alone in the cold chambers of AM for all eternity, the last human alive, and victim to all of AM's tortures. All of its Hatred being directed at him.

Calypso

"All that anger, all that fight, all that rage you have inside. You could bring the world so much pain, I just can't let that go to waste"

when he was 12 years old after stealing his parent's car to run over a Copperhead,he accidentally ran over his sister's head whom was playing with her doll right up to the rear tire. When his parents discovered this, they made him clean up the driveway of his sister's blood,However, William stared at his sister's doll, and after quite some time, he began to associate his sister with the doll. Two years after they buried her, they were still grieved and argued every time they went to put flowers on her grave. William, ridden with guilt, decided to try and join his sister, by blinding his father while he was driving, causing an accident killing his mother and father among others. Except he was not among the Dead.

He then decided to hitchhike until one truck stopped and offered William a ride. The trucker named Al, gave William a job fixing cars in a demolition derby. One day, Al was drunk and shot William in the arm ranting about William listening to calypso music. The next day Al apologized and gave William his own car and gave him his old helmet, he was then christened Calypso. For 20 years, Calypso participated in the Demolition Derby, hoping he would die. However, he kept killing both the drivers and the audience, but not himself. Eventually, Calypso went to Vegas and got married to a woman named Joanie. They had a daughter named Krista. Eventually, Calypso got tired of his wife and often cheated on her. One day, however, his wife was in the audience and a tire flew off and killed her. Calypso and Krista then lived their lives out of suitcases and motel rooms.

One night, Calypso went to a bar to get some smokes and left Krista in the back seat to sleep. When he left the bar, he saw his wife and she told him that she was in Hell and that he should be too. Calypso agreed, and she told him all he had to do was close his eyes and let go of the wheel. Calypso went to Hell and was chased by a demon named Minion. Eventually, Calypso lost him. Satan, who saw the whole thing and was impressed. He gave Calypso a drink. It turned Calypso into the man we know him as today. He told Calypso to be the host of a demolition derby that would have more souls to come to hell. The winner however, would get one wish. No matter the price, size or even reality.

Calypso ran the tournament for 10 years, during which much suspicion was raised about Calypso and his tournament, mainly because the wishes always seemed to backfire at the winners, usually killing them. When you are before Calypso,always be careful with what you wish for.

Experience And Skill

Being not one but multiple Supercomputers AM can Process things at a much higher Rate,being able to feel in a micro instant. It hacked into every single piece of technology of its era and wiped out all of humanity,inventing technologies to create life, make others immortal and shape entire landscapes. it tortured the same five Humans for 109 Years,all in Creative and Brutal ways,AM as a whole was created to single-handedly control the militaries and Weapons of entire Countries. this Machine has quite the imagination,that's for sure.

Calypso

Calypso is extremely manipulative and cunning, routinely outsmarting the other characters at every turn. He has been alive for at least 100 Years and possesses a strong understanding of his powers as well as a creative streak in regards to their usage. He's also exceptionally skilled with vehicular and weapons mechanics, having personally modified all of the contestants' vehicles to perform special attacks of which they would not have been capable before and having participated in the Demolition Derby for 20 Years. He can also perform surgery,huh.

Equipment

Nuclear Weaponry

AM was Given full Control over all of Humanity's Military,which of course includes Nuclear Weapons,including the Strongest nuke created by Humanity,the Tsar Bomba. AM used this Arsenal to wipe out Humanity. And AM should have over 62,000 Nukes at his disposal (the Quantity that existed during the Cold War).

Replicas

AM created a Perfect Replica of Gorrister to Mess with the Five Human psychologically,However it is Inanimate not to mention he needs him to be Alive to actully make a Replica,making it pratically useless in a fight.

Torture Cages

In the Videogame,AM has five Small cages which he keeps the Humans in. each one is targeted to Trigger the Trauma of each one.

Calypso

Nuke Mobile

After having his contest stolen from him by Needle's, Calypso had to enter the Twisted Metal contest and his vehicle of choice was the GMC C-Series 'Nuke Mobile'. He is equipped with a powerful nuclear missile attached which shoots out Detonating in a Massive Explosion. Like every vehicle in the Twisted Metal tournament it is equipped with a pair of machine guns that serve as a backup weapon.

Giant Speaker Car

Calypso Has access to a car with very large speakers powerful enough to send two kids flying 5 miles. they are definitely deaf for the rest of their life.

Soul Ring

a ring he wears that collects the souls of those killed in the tournament to power his wish-granting abilities as well as seemingly granting eternal youth which was Stolen by Sweet Tooth in Twisted Metal 4.

Time Bomb

a Little Surprise Calypso left for Manslaughter instead of Granting his wish,kinda breaking the Rules of his own Tournament but oh well.

Halloween Land Portal

a Doorway to a Dark Place full of Monsters,which Billy Calypso flips over like a asshole,Thank god it isn't a Public Bathroom.

Cardboard Cutout & Explosives

a Trap Billy Calypso Set up for Warthog,the biggest question here is...how did a kid even get all of that?

Fire Missile

The Fire Missiles are powerful missiles that are shot out of the vehicle at an opponent, lighting them on fire after exploding. They have little homing capabilities.

Power Missile

The Power Missiles are powerful missiles that are shot out of the vehicle at an opponent, exploding on impact. They have no homing capabilities.

Homing Missile

The Homing Missiles are powerful missiles that are shot out of the vehicle and home in on an opponent, exploding on impact.

Speed Missile

The Speed Missiles are quick missiles that are shot out of the vehicle at high speeds at the opponent, exploding on impact.

Swarmer Missile

The Swarmer Missiles are powerful swarm missiles that are shot out of the vehicle at the same time, exploding on impact.

Stalker Missile

The Stalker Missiles are powerful missiles that are shot out of the vehicle and home in on the opponent, exploding on impact.

M.I.R.V

When fired, it flies high into the air before bomarding the targeted adversary with a barrage of missiles.

Freeze Missile

The Freeze Missiles are powerful missiles that are shot out of the vehicle at the opponent, freezing them on impact.

Rain Missile

it slowly travels at a low height for one second before separating into smaller fireballs that descend to the ground into a straight row one-by-one.

Rain 2 Missile

The Rain 2 Missile functions exactly the same as an M.I.R.V missile, except it fires Napalms.

Ricochet

a weapon that shoots a small explosive charge from a self-propelled cart. The ricochet will bounce around the environment until it finally explodes.

Remote Bomb

a Gas Tank that Explodes upon Detonation,it does devastating damage.

Napalm

When launched this weapon would fire in an arc with slight homing capabilities. The fireball would explode upon contact with any other surface or enemy, dealing damage and igniting anyone in the blast radius while also leaving a patch of fire that would ignite anyone unfortunate enough to drive through it.

Mortar

The Mortar works much like Napalm, although instead of launching flame, the Mortar launches a large explosive which homes in on enemies and creates a thunderous impact with the ground and/or opponents.

Proximity Mine

it lasts for an infinite amount of time, detonating only when any vehicle drives too close to it

Freeze Remote Bomb

It freezes all vehicles caught in its explosion radius, including the vehicle that detonated it.

Powers and Abilities

Physiology

AM in it of itself,isn't a single Being but a collection of supercomputers,mainly the American,Chinese and Russian Supercomputers with the American being AM itself and The Chinese being AM's Innocence. He Also counts with other parts of him he dosen't know exists Like Surgat. Other very important parts of AM include the Ego and the Superego. Each of these Machines think independently,in-fact the Chinese and Russian Computers are constantly plotting to overthrow AM.

Like most Machines AM dosen't need to eat,drink,sleep or age of course Atough unlike most Machines,it is fully sentient. Being able to Process things on the micro instant. After Exterminating the human race,AM became part of the Earth itself along with it being Connected with all Technology on Earth. with it's circuitry alone extending miles. And even if you think you can shut him off,AM is constantly replicating Back-Up systems as a precaution.

Hacking

As i have said before,AM hacked into every single piece of technology of its era. Taking control of all of the world's computer systems,including Other Supercomputers.

Biological Manipulation

AM can freely Mess with someone's Anatomy. drastically changing people's appearances and to whatever amuses him like Transforming a Human into a grotesque creature with Huge...Features,Transforming a Human into a Slug-Like Creature,making intense light and sound emerge from someone's eyeballs causing immense pain and blindness,Repairing Damaged Bodies and Keeping Them Young Forever. The List goes on and on. He does this using Nimdok's own Research,as he was able to discover something called "Morphogenics" which allows AM to Change DNA.

Weather Manipulation

AM has shown himself capable of to manipulate temperatures and weather in a unique way to say the least,he can make it Cold or Lava boiling hot by...masturbating (no,this is not a joke),but there's more to it,he can cause entire Earthquakes.

BFR

a Game-Exclusive power,AM is presumably able to Transport the five humans to Matrix-like simulations based off the Survivors Fears and Traumas,being able to even somehow create perfect Replicas of scenes form the past of the characters. AM can also Disintegrate someone inside said Pocket Dimension. They go as follow.

Gorrister: after AM offers Gorrister the chance to kill himself,Gorrister finds himself on board a zeppelin over a desert with signs of a struggle, and a gaping hole in his own chest where his heart used to be.

Benny: after AM restores his Brain,Benny finds himself in a stone-aged community where the villagers draw a lottery to decide which of them will be sacrificed to AM.

Ellen: after AM says where some of his primary units are and offers her a chance to destroy him. Ellen is transported to a pyramid made of electronic junk and with its interior resembling an Egyptian temple whose décor is largely yellow.

Nimdok: after Nimdok is given the task of finding "the lost tribe",he finds himself in a concentration camp, expected to conduct brutal medical experiments on helpless subjects.

Ted: after AM Offers him Freedom,Ted finds himself in a medieval castle where his love Ellen is apparently slowly dying due to a spell cast on her by her wicked stepmother.

Digitization

Both AM and his "Brothers" have shown themselves to be able to Digitize the physical body and transform them into some kind of virus allowing them to enter AM's RAM Space

Radiation Manipulation

AM can give People radiation scars,what a dick.

Creation

AM has shown himself to be able to conjure Weapons out of nowhere,AM is so Advanced to the Point AM has shown himself to be capable of creating Entire new species like the Hurricane Bird Atough his ability to create life is...Questionable,he can't exactly create life,but he can Simulate life as shown in the game.

Fragrance Manipulation

AM can Overload someone's Sense of Smell,causing them Immense pain,he does this by creating smells,as in Multiple. All at once. Ew.

Calypso

Enhanced Senses

Calypso is able to tell his Daughter is a Robot and even see the gears in her eyes just by looking at her.

Electricity Manipulation

Every time Calypso grants a wish,electricity courses off of his hands.

4th Wall Awareness

Every time you get a Ending in Twisted Metal 2,Calypso looks at the camera and thanks you for playing it,what a nice guy.

Teleportation

Calypso can Teleport anyone to any place,and when i say ANY place,i mean it because this Includes Space. With it sometimes backfiring as he could Teleport you to a Coffin for example

Transmutation

Calypso can Transmute anything into...well,anything. Objects,animals,Bugs,you name it.

Mind Manipulation

Calpyso can Manipulate one's Feelings and Emotions,being able to operate on a Planetary scale,being able to send everyone in the world into a murderous rage that results in the end of the human race or making so that no one wants to commit any crimes again And it has been stated by Preacher that Calypso is able to read the minds of others.

Size Manipulation

Calypso can Grow himself to a Planetary scale,he once Stretched a man's face around the entirety of Earth after enlarging himself to planetary size. Also being able to shrink other people or make them grow

Time Manipulation

Calypso has shown himself to be able to Manipulate Time on multiple occasions,being able to send people back in time or just Manipulate Time as a whole.

Causality Manipulation

What Calypso says,goes. And that's clear when he can makes things that happend,never happen,or even change how things played out,for example he once made it so that his Daughter never died in a Car crash but instead got put into a coma.

Power Transferal

After Mr.Grimm wished to be mortal,Calypso did exactly that,removing His Grim Reaper Powers and giving it to a Little Girl.

Age Manipulation

Calypso can Manipulate others ages,making them old or Young or even sometimes a mix of both. Or just turning people into babies.

Body Swapping

When Sweet Tooth asked to switch bodies with Calypso,Calypso was Reluctant about Granting it,but he had to. Causing both to switch.

Creation

Calypso can Create anything he has in mind Form Pizzas to Man-Eating Plants and even First Class Plane Tickets (not really impressive Examples but Calypso's creativity is the limit when it comes to this.)

Necromancy

Calypso has been stated to be able to resurrect anyone he wants and they will be loyal to him. Being able to even reanimate Souls and Grant them a new life.

Black Hole Creation

Sweet Tooth (with the powers of Calypso) was able to send the Pizza Boy flying into space then proceeded to create a Black Hole that sucked him.

Petrification

After Microblast wished to be tall,Sweet Tooth (with the powers of Calypso) turned him into a giant then proceeded to petrify him.

Sealing

Calypso can seal people in Objects for all eternity. He loves this trick in specific as he does it all the time in the third game. It's pretty self-explanatory.

Wish Granting

Most if not All of Calypso's Powers are a form of Reality Warping,so consider this a more in-depth Explanation of the sheer Range of his power,Calypso allows the victor to request a single, solitary wish of their choosing, regardless of how ludicrous or seemingly impossible the wish in question may be. So in theory his Creativity and what wish the person makes is the his limit when it comes to how he uses his powers.

Support

Before the Verdict

What's Real and What's not?

as you have noticed,there are a few of AM's Abilities missing,that's because being Tortured for Hundreds of years non-stop does things to your mind and Ted is definitly the most mentally unstable of the five,it dosen't help that he is a unreliable narrator,a few of AM's Powers are pretty straight foward,it has been shown that he can Manipulate biology and change the weather,but there are a few who are...questionable to say the least? like AM being able to enter someone's mind or create illusions. it's clear that the five humans have some serious problems. so here's a list of everything i didn't use due to it possibly being in their head or it just being AM messing with them.

everything else seems Valid,so yeah,Context is pretty important,these people are not mentally well and are constantly being haunted by AM's Presence even when he's not really responsible.

Universal AM?

When you first Meet the Chinese Supercomputer,he insists that AM can't be killed,that he has become something more,a God and that It's redundant systems alone would be able to survive The Heat Death of the Universe,so is it valid? i mean it can't exactly be Debunked as AM's Durability was never outright harmed trough brute force. well,even though AM's Innocence is obviously not as bad as AM,he's still not exactly honest. but that's not even the biggest problem with this,the main problem is that The Heat Death of the Universe dosen't even count as a Dura feat to begin with.

The heat death is not an immediate event, its when all of the free energy in the universe gets used up,what the Chinese Supercomputer likely means is that AM can last for so long to the point he would keep living even after there's no heat left,not that he can survive a Universe Exploding in his face. which should be obvious but i think i should clarify this.

Calypso's Time Travel shenanigans

During one of the endings for Twisted Metal 2,Amanda Watts wishes for her Car to go faster than anyone ever went. And Calypso fulfilled her Wish,making her car go so fast to the point she traveled back in time. Now the reason i'm bringing this up is Time Travel trough sheer speed is...complicated,you see when someone does something like that it is usually labeled as immeasurable but i few like there are a few important questions we need to ask before making such a claim.

First of all,Can calypso even boost his own speed? He has Granted other people's wishes but can he use it on himself? The answer to this is actully pretty simple. Probably,while he never increased his own speed,he has shown to be able to use certain wishes on himself like Growing to a planetary size so it is fair to assume he could make himself faster if he wanted to.

Second,the Speed. As i said time travel trough Sheer Speed is considered immeasurable in most cases but...there's a catch. It is considered immeasurable UNLESS it is specifically stated to be done by FTL speeds,the main and only problem with this being done at FTL is that Twisted Metal already reaches that level normally,but again. The Series is not exactly know to be Consistent. So i think it's fair to put this feat Somewhere around that level.

Weakness

while it may be hard to believe,AM is not omnipotent. it suffers from a form of psychological suffering,it cannot Wonder or Wander,which causes it dispise it's own existance. not to mention it's own hatred and sadism can blind him,causing it to leave himself open. he also has other Computers inside him constantly plotting against him. and most important of all,he Creates Totems representing Actions inside his Cyberspace that may be used against him.

Calypso

Despite his intelligence,Calypso is Extremly Arrogant,and he has been tricked on a few separate occasions. it's also important to note that as powerful as Calypso is,he's still Human and can be killed or harmed by things that would normally harm a Human and removing his Ring will also remove his powers. he's also bound by the rules of Twisted Metal and must grant wishes whether he wants it or not but as i said. we are allowing him to use all of his powers here.

Verdict

_GhostOfHollownest_

i know,i know. not the Blog i promised last time,but my heart just wasn't on that one,this on the other hand? i loved researching AM and Calypso. especially since people think AM can't work on Death Battle for some reason? but you are not here to hear me yapping. you are here to hear my Verdict. so let's get into it. i will Seperate this into five Categories and then give my overall Thoughts in the end.

Stats

let's Start with..probably the least important part of this Matchup? The Stats. Starting with Attack Potency,of course Calypso isn't really that Strong Physically and even his vehicles are absolutly no match against Fucking Nukes. a Single Nuke is already Massively Stronger than his Strongest Feat,So just imagine every single Nuke at once. well,you don't have to because it comes out to (1.3 - 3.1 Teratons of TNT) (Small Country - Large Island) compared to the Nuke-Mobile Explosion (20.284 tons of TNT) (City Block) so AM takes this right? well not exactly.we are Talking about Calypso at Base,it kinda starting going into Hax,which i will talk about later. but he can increase his Size which would obviously also increase his Strength. putting Calypso at a Whopping (1513.86 yottatons of TNT) (Large Planet Level) which is a Absolutly massive gap.

Now moving on to speed,AM can't really move so Calypso gets this by default,being able to go at FTL speed even without the whole "Growing as big as a planet thing". So he should take this,duh.

Now Durability,AM only has one Durability Feat which is when he became the Earth,putting at a reasonable Planet level. Calypso at Base is of course not that Durable,he has been killed by bullets before,even though he did survive some crazy stuff like Car Crashes,it's not much compared to AM,but Calypso should still take it with his Giant Form which should scale to his AP.

AM Takes Stats against Base Calypso but Calypso gains the advantage once he Grows in size.

Hax and Equipment

Now,we go form the Least Important part of the Matchup to probably the Most Important,starting with HAX. Calypso can basically do anything as long as it is wished for. but going of only what we know he can do. he still has a large variety. with one of his strongest one being Causality Manipulation which i will talk about later,if you have read the stats you will also know that Calypso can grow to a Planetary size which is a massive help considering how big AM truly is. atough stuff like Petrification,Mind Manipulation and Trasmutation wouldn't really work on AM. but it could help him getting rid of AM's Support. moving on to AM's Hax. while Calypso's Hax is way more Supernatural. AM's Hax is more Science-Based,most of His Hax's have a Explanation to them but just because they have a Explanation,it dosen't make them Weaker than Calypso's. for Example his Biological Manipulation is almost instant,and he can basically shape Scenarios at his will to poke fun at the trauma of his Opponents. Probably one of the most interassting parts of his HAX is his Own Physiology,AM is absolutly massive and has multiple Back-ups,tough this does come with the cost of Having his Brothers working against him. but while both have very Strong HAX,i will say AM's is slightly more Useful,Especially since most of Calypso's HAX,(Petrification,Mind Manipulation,Trasmutation,Age Manipulation) wouldn't work on AM due to his Machine Nature.

Equipment is more simple,AM dosen't have a lot. he Has Nukes,a Gorrister Replica and a few Torture Cages. while Calypso not only has a vehicle with a Nuke but different kinds Of Missiles,Portals to a Room with Monsters,Explosives and much more. while this seems impressive at first. it wouldn't really do a lot to AM. he's a Entire Planet. i doubt a few Explosions would even harm him. it would help him get rid of his Creations,sure. but The Big Bad Himself? eh...not so much. at the very least AM's Nukes could kill Calypso if he was caught off-guard.

Point for AM.

Intelligence and Experience

as Crafty as Calypso is,he's still Somewhat Human and has been tricked in the past. while AM is not exactly perfect and has made mistakes in the past. it's important to remember he's STILL a Supercomputer who can process 3,000,000 instructions per second,hell that's a Lowball since we don't even know how Smart he is in the first place. he simply knows how to put the fear of god into his victims and how to play into their fears.

things are surprisgly different in Experience. while AM has been "alive" for a long time,Calypso is surprisingly even Older. Mr.Grimm has been chasing his Soul for at least 100 Years,add the 47 Years he has been alive and he's at least 147 Years Old. AM never Truly Pushed himself,he never even got into a fight with someone who could go toe to toe with him. he's used to being the Strongest there is. while Calypso has competed in and even won Twisted Metal depending on what Ending you get.

AM takes Intelligence but Calypso take Experience.

Support

uh...yeah,Calypso's Guard are no match for AM's Creations. The Hurricane Bird alone is Aboslutly massive and could one-shot basically all of them. you add a Entire Tribe of People who can Eat Babies,a Rapist and a Digital Demon who can summon Fire out of his hands and it's kinda obvious.

Point for AM.

Wincons

Both have a few wincons to their name,for Example Calypso could just Destroy Earth,Which isn't really in-character but it's a possibility or AM could overload Calypso's Sense of Smell. But Their Biggest Wincons are Probably Causality Manipulation and Bio Manipulation Respectively. they could easily end the Fight in Seconds. Calypso can make so that AM was Never created in the first place and AM can Turn Calypso into a blob so that he wouldn't be able to use his powers anymore. i feel like the biggest question we should be asking here is who is more likely to take the fight seriously? both are very,very,Prideful and see other below them but when they meet someone who can match them. who would choose to Sacrifice their Sadism in order to get a esay win? well both could get serious after enough time. But Between the two. i'd say Calypso is more likely to go for the kill. AM LOVES Dragging things out,making them as painful as possible. while Calypso likes to make people suffer,he would still kill someone if he was put in danger.

Point for Calypso

Final Thoughts...

This is a very close fight. and i was constantly switching Sides while Writing this but i'd say AM's own Hate would be his ultimate Downfall in this. he COULD end the Fight easily,but he simply dosen't want to. he NEEDS to see people suffer slowly. i truly never got why people thought this was a Stomp,and i still don't get. you know it can go either way when it ultimately comes down to Personality rather than pure Strenght. AM should have been careful with what he wishes for because Calypso made sure AM could Scream in this Fight!
