• The Force Choke can bypass Doom's armor
• Darth Vader using the force on Boba Fett and another example. This shows that it bypasses armor.
• The Force Choke can be performed quickly and fairly easily
• Here Vader chokes two people at the same time, one of which he has his back towards. This shows his ability to do it without line of sight, and in the middle of a combat scenario.
• Here Count Dooku does it in the middle of combat against Obi-Wan and Anakin. This shows the quickness with which it can be applied in combat

• Doom can fire back to break the choke
• Here a fight goes on between Vader and another force user in which there are multiple instances of force choke and push. This shows the force choke is not a guaranteed victory.
• As an example of a way to break the choke Dr. Doom's molecular expander can create a barrage of boulder's. He has a variety of attacks to retaliate with that should break Vader's concentration.
• Doom can teleport to evade the choke
• Dr. Doom teleporting to evade a swing from the Hulk.
• Dr. Doom teleporting while restrained by using magic.

• The lightsaber can slice through most things but they have limits

• The lightsaber hadn't been there, and then it was, and the lightsaber was a blur. Vader moved without seeming to move, and the lightsaber sliced into Roan, straight into his chest. Straight into his heart. -- Taken from Star Wars: Last of the Jedi: Secret Weapon

• Vader has blocked some heavy duty firepower

The freighters opened fire, writing thick lines of plasma onto the air. The shots churned the ground, destroyed trees, heated the air of the clearing; one slammed into the chest of a Royal Guard and vaporized all of him save for his helmet...Lost in the Force, Vader anticipated the shots that would have hit him, saw the appropriate angles of impact and deflection, and used the rapid spinning of his lightsaber to turn first one, then a second, and then a third shot not into the tree line but back at the ships, the heat and energy of the blaster shots driving him backward, warming the hilt of his weapon, a heat he could feel even through his glove. - From the novel Lords of the Sith:

• Here Vader lifts up a large robot and pulls it apart

• Dr. Doom can use sonic disruptors and sonics have been effective against Jedi
• Vader has made himself more resistant to lightning, but not likely enough to match Dr. Doom's output

• Darth Vader can be surprised by attacks as shown when Boba Fett fakes falling in order to get a good shot at him

• Opponents have pretty much full knowledge on each other provided by Beyonder and Grandmaster
• To the death, no BFR.
• Standard Gear............no Time Travel usage for Doom.
• Beyonder has made it so all of Doom's magics will work as usual on this world he created.
• In Character, Bloodlusted.
• Starting distance 1 mile apart..........but opponents do not know where the other is, they have to find each other!
• There is no specific alloted prep time, but however..........if they do not find each other quickly, they mind use any of that time to prepare in any way each one would within character.
• They may use any of the terrain to their advantage. The world is unpopulated, however there are buildings and such (which means technology as well)

• One example: Once imprisoned the Purple Man, a villain capable of making anybody do anything he ordered, and used his powers to conquer the world. When the Purple Man told Doom he did not deserve to rule because he did not possess any powers, Doom ordered all his servants to leave the room, took down all the barriers holding the Purple Man, removed his mask, and dared him to lend credence to this charge. Note that the Purple Man was in a power amplifier that was boosting his abilities to planetary scale at the time.

Three words caused the latest public uproar against Charles. Those same words also made Shaq laugh with such force that he would cry, cough, and wheeze for minutes on end. Big. Ol’. Women. Chuck had gone on for years about how his ass would look normal in San Antonio, which by and large, in his words, lacked skinny women. Now a spokesman for Weight Watchers, Charles joked how San Antonio would be a gold mine for the weight-loss and diet organization. To him, Victoria was a secret for the women of San Antonio, who were double-fisting churros and had to wear bloomers instead of racy lingerie.
His derogatory comments drew immediate national backlash and calls of apology from the women of San Antonio, city officials, and obesity awareness groups. Local journalists and bloggers ripped Chuck for body shaming, asking what his mother, wife, and daughter would think of what he said. Vanessa Macias, the girlfriend of Spurs legend Tim Duncan, made up tight-fitting shirts to show Chuck what he was missing.
Days later, Tim Kiely approached Charles about the public relations nightmare, O’Neal recalled. “Charles, you offended some people,” said Kiely, according to Shaq. Charles tentatively agreed that he would apologize on the playoff broadcast.
What began to sound like an apology went in another direction.
“Some of you people don’t like my sense of humor. Here’s what I got to say: Turn off your damn television. I’m not gonna change. If you don’t like me or the show, turn it off,” he said. “And they want me to apologize. That’s not gon’ happen. That’s not gon’ happen.” He added, “Y’all can write letters to your momma, your daddy, your uncle. I’m gonna have fun on television. You know that I’m joking around, but if y’all waiting on me to apologize, hell gonna freeze over.”
Smith asked again, to remind him why his colleague needed to apologize: “For me jokin’ about those big ol’ women down in San Antonio.”

"In his first draft as league commissioner, the mustachioed David Stern announced Charles Barkley as the Sixers’ pick. The grin on the commissioner’s face turned to a smirk as the dozens inside the Felt Forum went crazy.
In truth, Charles was half listening to Stern until the commissioner uttered his first name. The announcement was not a total surprise, but still just as disappointing. He took a deep breath and bit his bottom lip before sauntering to the podium. Visibly dejected, he lowered his head and walked to meet Stern. What had he just done?
“The look on my face is, ‘Are you kidding me?’” Charles said of his reaction on Draft Night. “I wasn’t smiling because I was like, ‘I left college for $75,000.’”
Many decades later, Charles pointed out how seemingly everyone around him was savoring the moment—that is, except him. “When people go back and look at me walking, and they see that awful burgundy suit, everybody else is happy and Charles isn’t happy,” he said.

"One person paying attention was Kobe Bryant—and he wasn’t in the mood for Charles’s shit. After Bryant put up just 3 shots in the second half of a Game 7 blowout loss to Phoenix in 2006, Charles labeled the superstar’s performance “very selfish,” accusing him of trying to prove a point that his otherwise lifeless Lakers team couldn’t do anything without him. The remarks enraged Bryant, who called Charles “stupid” for suggesting he was trying to tank the game. At around 2:00 a.m., Charles looked down at his phone inside Studio J and saw a text message. Bryant was pissed. And then another. And another. And many more.
“Kobe started texting me for the next three hours,” Charles said of the twenty to twenty-five messages he received from Kobe. “We’re going back and forth and he’s calling me every MF, every SOB in the world, and I’m laughing as I get these. I’m like, ‘Yo, man, pick up the phone and call me.’ [He said], ‘No, mo-fo.’”
“First of all,” he texted Bryant, “I’ve called you the best player in the world for the last three years and you didn’t exactly call and thank me. But I didn’t like what you did. And I knew what you were doing.”
The perception that Charles was right haunted Kobe so much that he went on Inside that same postseason to defend himself. The appearance of Bryant, in his light blue sweater-vest, white dress shirt, and gold tie, made Charles admit he was wrong to take his accusation to national television, a rare instance in which Chuck said he regretted publicly criticizing a player. They didn’t know each other very well, but the two made the moment into an inside joke, with Charles later admitting Bryant’s fiery responses were “awesome.”

"[Manute] Bol, who would end up sprawled in the back seat of the Buick, was said to have killed a lion with a spear. According to legend, one day in his family’s home village in Turalei, Sudan, a teenage Bol saw a lion running across the pasture toward the cattle he was charged to protect and launched the spear that killed the lion in midair. The myth repeated over time drew skepticism and razzing from Charles, who had read about it in the newspaper.
“Man, you didn’t kill no lion,” Charles told his new teammate. “That lion was old and dead when you showed up.
...
Bol also became a target for the team’s lighthearted abuse and pranks. Hardly a day went by where Charles and Mahorn didn’t chase, wrestle or tape up Bol; or, in one case, stuff Bol inside of an equipment bag meant to hold a dozen balls. (“Charlie, let me out of the ball bag!”)
Bol was as curious as he was comical, once telling Charles that the problem with Black men in America is that they didn’t have any tribes and belonged nowhere as a result. Charles appreciated his perspective, once remarking that “if everyone in the world was a Manute Bol, it’s a world I’d want to live in.”

Charles’s frustration reached a boiling point on November 10, 1999, against the Lakers, when Shaq fouled Charles on the low post. O’Neal, who respected Charles but had no relationship with him at that point, blocked Charles’s shot and bumped his opponent’s bald head. Charles swung his elbows in response, and O’Neal offered a retaliatory push. At that point, O’Neal said he recognized the old guard was testing the new guard.
“I was determined that when it came to other legends, I did not want to really be their friends,” O’Neal said. “Of course, I respected Charles, but whenever I was out there playing, I was trying to rip his head off. I know he was the same way.”
Then, Charles fired the ball off the head of the Lakers center, who described the motion as “one of his Charles Barkley–like stupid things.”
“I was like, ‘Charles, I respect you, but now I gotta knock you out,’” O’Neal recalled.
The fight was on at the Compaq Center. O’Neal landed a glancing left punch to Charles’s head and Charles grabbed Shaq’s right leg for a lift-and-flip move, and got in a few short punches before both hit the floor. After the pair got ejected, Charles repeated a mantra: “Can’t let nobody hit me.”
The tussle got the attention of two women who wanted the nonsense to stop. In the locker room, Charles and Shaq both received a three-way call. A security guard handed O’Neal the phone and did not say who it was. On the line was not just his mom, Lucille, but also Charcey. Unbeknownst to Charles and O’Neal, their mothers had become best friends—and practically sisters.
“Don’t you hit my boy,” Charcey told the center, according to O’Neal.
The moms never planned to call their sons and didn’t take the scuffle personally, Lucille said. O’Neal’s mother saw them as kids on the playground who needed to figure it out, but Charcey still demanded accountability.
“She said, ‘Y’all need to stop!... We don’t want y’all fighting in front of the kids,’” O’Neal recounted.
“What was that all about?” Lucille remembered asking her son. “It’s a game! It’s a game!”
There was also another request: Kiss and make up. Answering “yes, ma’am,” O’Neal didn’t dare talk back to Charcey.
“My mom called right away, and we had to meet in the tunnel and shake hands,” O’Neal said, adding that they went out to dinner afterward.
The bond between their mothers created a mutual respect between them that would only strengthen over the years. But there would be no such goodwill two weeks later in Portland."

“The guy was like a brother to me for, shoot, twenty-something years,” Charles said in 2020.
In Jordan’s second full year as majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, no team in league history had looked as hopeless. En route to a 7–59 mark in a lockout-shortened 2011–12 season, the Bobcats had all but clinched the worst season for a team in the history of the NBA. No one would dare come to Charlotte in free agency, and the team had whiffed on lottery pick after lottery pick, until UConn guard Kemba Walker showed promise.
Their poor performance was historic, but the notion that it came under Jordan felt particularly jarring. Jordan wasn’t supposed to be this bad at anything basketball related. Yet midway through the season, the team was last in offensive efficiency and second-to-last in defensive efficiency, which was enough for broadcaster Jeff Van Gundy to proclaim that Charlotte’s coach, Paul Silas, should win Coach of the Year for miraculously winning any games, period.
...
When asked about Michael’s performance as an owner and eye for talent in 2012, Charles did not beat around the bush. Jordan’s record had spoken for itself after hiring close friend and former Bulls teammate Rod Higgins as general manager. Charles mentioned one instance leading up to the 2006 Draft when Jordan, in his first year as manager of basketball operations, was leaning toward selecting Gonzaga forward Adam Morrison with the third overall pick. Charles thought there was no way that Morrison, the nice kid with the 3-point stroke, bushy hair, and wispy mustache, could play in the NBA and urged his friend to take Washington’s dynamic scorer, Brandon Roy.
...
“I think the biggest problem has been I don’t know if he has hired enough people around him who he will listen to. One thing about being famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check,” Chuck said. “They want to fly around on your private jet so they never disagree with you. I don’t think Michael has hired enough people around him who will disagree.”
...
“I love Michael, but he just has not done a good job,” he said. “Even though he is one of my great friends, I can’t get on here and tell you he’s done a great job. He has not done a great job, plain and simple.”
The radio show went to commercial, and Charles noticed his phone was ringing. He looked down to see who was calling him. It was Michael.
He picked up the phone and, for one of the first times in his life, he couldn’t get a word in. Jordan took what he said personally.
“He is mf’ing me up and down, up and down, up and down,” Chuck said. “I didn’t think Michael was gonna react like that.”
When he hung up the phone, Charles didn’t realize it would be the last time he’d speak to a man forever connected to him, one who was akin to a brother.
...
“The thing that bothered me the most about that whole thing, I don’t think I said anything that bad,” he said. “The thing that really pissed me off about it later is Phil Jackson said the exact same thing.”
The longer the split lasted the more people questioned whether the two would ever repair their friendship. Sam Smith, author of The Jordan Rules, saw the bond between Michael and Charles as overrated, a partnership blown out of proportion to make for a better story for the media. Charles was very much his own man, which didn’t always vibe with what it meant to be in Jordan’s bubble.
“Charles has always had a strong, independent streak about him and with Michael, if you wanted to be a part of his group, you had to subjugate yourself to Michael. I think Michael enjoyed his company, but you really didn’t get the sense he was part of his group,” Smith said. “As Michael’s celebrity grew, these guys wanted to be around Michael’s shadow and aura, and that’s just not who Charles was. He didn’t want to be a follower.”
Kenny Smith did his part to try to squash the silence in October 2016 when Jordan, who was staying at the same hotel in New York, came down to the lobby to congratulate him on the show being inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame. Kenny was standing with Charles, and it was the first time he and Michael had seen or spoken to each other since their phone call four years earlier. They all took a quick photo together. Whatever tension existed looked to be overexaggerated, Smith said, and it was all high fives.
...
Four years later, with its arrival of the Michael Jordan documentary The Last Dance, came fresh takes on the Mike-Chuck bromance and its fallout.
On The Waddle & Silvy Show, the same radio program where he’d made his original comments, Charles acknowledged that the sadness over losing Jordan remained profound, but he’d come to accept it. Charles would not be the one to call Jordan, saying His Airness had his phone number and knew how to reach him.
Jordan would not apologize, and neither would he, Charles predicted. Thus, the two athletic superpowers remained in a Cold War–type standoff.
... “That’s never gonna happen. You can let that go,” he said to Le Batard. “That’s never gonna happen. I’m too stubborn for that.”

When it came to the on-air chemistry between Charles and Shaq, the pair needed to strike a balance. Sometimes, Shaq would be the combative foil who pushed back against Charles and reminded him of his career shortcomings in every debate. Sometimes, he would play the comedic hype man. But since the beginning, their on-air arguments have followed a familiar pattern, reminiscent of an old married couple. Their verbal spats regularly generate headlines in both the blogosphere and establishment media like the Washington Post, the Guardian and USA Today. Charles, the man without any social media who says anyone who tweets likely lives out of their mother’s basement, regularly trends on Twitter, in part because of his devolved debates with Shaq.
Charcey [Barkley] and Lucille O’Neal didn’t need social media to hear about the shots their boys took at one another. They were usually watching, with one calling the other to talk about whatever it was they had gotten into the night before.
“We would talk to each other each day on the phone and Charcey would say, ‘There they go arguing again.’ I would just bust up laughing,” Lucille remembered. “I started calling Shaquille and said, ‘Didn’t we tell y’all to play nice?’”

Bonus:

“I had to tell him, ‘Coach, there was one guy up there who’s the best player I’ve ever seen. It’s Michael Jordan,’” Charles said. “‘He was the only guy better than me.’”

“Some people don’t want to hear from professional athletes, like this lady on Fox News who told LeBron James to shut up and dribble. And dribbling is like LeBron’s only fourth thing he’s good at—shooting, passing, and magically making his hairline come back,” he observed. “Look, I got a message for people who complain about athletes: We can do a lot more than dribble.”

"Six years out, Charles was starting to recognize his true legacy: every short, fat guy who plays basketball will remind fans of Charles Wade Barkley.
“That’s not a bad legacy,” he told friend and co-author Michael Wilbon. “There’s always going to be short, fat guys.”

Three words caused the latest public uproar against Charles. Those same words also made Shaq laugh with such force that he would cry, cough, and wheeze for minutes on end. Big. Ol’. Women.

“We would talk to each other each day on the phone and Charcey would say, ‘There they go arguing again.’ I would just bust up laughing,” Lucille remembered. “I started calling Shaquille and said, ‘Didn’t we tell y’all to play nice?’”

Bonus:

“I had to tell him, ‘Coach, there was one guy up there who’s the best player I’ve ever seen. It’s Michael Jordan,’” Charles said. “‘He was the only guy better than me.’”

“Some people don’t want to hear from professional athletes, like this lady on Fox News who told LeBron James to shut up and dribble. And dribbling is like LeBron’s only fourth thing he’s good at—shooting, passing, and magically making his hairline come back,” he observed. “Look, I got a message for people who complain about athletes: We can do a lot more than dribble.”

"Six years out, Charles was starting to recognize his true legacy: every short, fat guy who plays basketball will remind fans of Charles Wade Barkley.
“That’s not a bad legacy,” he told friend and co-author Michael Wilbon. “There’s always going to be short, fat guys.”
