On its face, this fight would seem like Doom’s all the way when one considers his history of slapping down Thunder Gods and Heralds of Galactus alike. However, Doom also has an equally troubling, some might say Ernst Blofeld-like way of gloating over fallen foes – just long enough for them to regroup and knock Victor on his pompous ass.
Not a good track record.
On Jesus’ side, well, He is the King of Kings, with a few minor powers (e.g. healing, water-walking, transmutation of foods) that do not bode well in any street brawl with Doom. Yet Jesus does hold the ultimate ace-in-the-hole via his famous dad, perhaps via a surprise smiting/folded steel chair to Doom’s back straight out of the Old Testament.
Therefore, a Jesus/Doom fight would seemingly be much more engaging than first thought.
Let’s see what the Vegas oddsmakers say…
(I’m the phone now, calling – wait a second)
Okay, despite his arrogance, Doom gets an initial 3-1 advantage over Jesus who Vegas feels would be clocked just too fast by Doom’s superior tech (especially if he's packing a stolen Mjolnir) to get off an emergency prayer to bail Himself out of trouble. So Jesus falls quickly, but He is immortal – so that sets Doom back a tick as his opponent can regenerate in a heartbeat.
Thus, after many similar outcomes leaving the Lord fresh as a daisy, an exasperated Doom retreats to his castle keep, leaving Jesus victorious and soon working on a brand-new sermon adapting His fight with Doom into a parable on the power of love.
Don't get too cocky, however, Prince of Peace – Doom will be plotting his revenge on you soon enough.
Just ask Reed Richards (no doubt an atheist) for some insight on that over a chicory coffee.
Jesus is one story. However, in battling any other noted Biblical figure
(Samson, Goliath, Tyrannosaurus Rex, et al.), Doom scores a KO in mere seconds.
