TACTICAL VERDICT: Absorbing Man triumphs with an estimated 50% win probability. The primary decider was the stark differential in martial combat execution (64 vs 85).
Both combatants exchange lightning opening volleys with near-identical operational reflexes, neither yielding ground in the opening clash.
Absorbing Man unleashes full destructive capacity (98 Power rating), forcing Abe Sapien onto the back foot with overwhelming concussive force.
In the grueling war of attrition, Absorbing Man's supreme hand-to-hand discipline (64 Combat) and endurance (100 Durability) break Abe Sapien's posture, securing a definitive victory.

Beowulf plans to invade the city of Vanaria with his band of Vandals when one of his men goes mad. Once he investigates the forest in which his man came from he spots a maiden tied to a tree. She explains that she's a sacrifice for a Beast-God whom's appearance causes madness. Beowulf frees the maiden and slays the creature. He returns to Vanaria and is heralded as a hero but Beowulf's greed has him overthrow the King of Vanaria. Once the King is dead he spots a glowing ring he wants but the Princee Ulana takes it and jumps from the castle walls into the moat. Some time later the ghost of the God-Beast returns and causes madness among Beowulf's men. His men betray him and tie Beowulf to a tree for sacrifice to appease the Beast-God. Ulana comes to him and gives Beowulf the ring to use to fight and slay the beast. Beowulf does just that but learns that Ulana betrayed him and that the reason he was able to kill the ghost was that he himself is now a ghost because the ring was coated in poison and killed him. Beowulf's ghost now haunts the ruins of Vanaria.
