With thanks to RedDead for finding the image of Salem. Palpatine vs Salem is a What-If? Death Battle by DBDoctor They are masters of dark forces many consider to be unnatural. They are the end of the beginning. Now these dark master manipulators will clash in a battle of darkness. Wiz: Perfecting any craft takes many years of hard training. Wiz: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the Palpatine Family was one of the most powerful individuals living on Naboo.
Eventually, that line would be temporarily halted with the birth of Sheev Palpatine. Boomstick: Young Sheev lived a very prosperous life. He studied the art of politics and had a strong interest in manipulating things to get his way. Yet, he wanted more. Eventually, he got it in the form of Darth Plageius. Wiz: Darth Plageius was a Dark Lord of the Sith who could actually keep people he cared about from dying. He took Palpatine on as an apprentice teaching him everything in the ways of the Dark Side.
Boomstick: After securing his seat on the Senate, Palaptine murdered his master after getting him hammered and then proceeded to create one of the longest wars the galaxy had seen; The Clone Wars. Eventually, this culminated in his successful swaying of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to his cause and ending in the execution of nearly the entire Jedi Order. Well, I guess when you look like a melted candle, flossing would just seem like pissing in the wind. On his own, Palpatine managed more than once to blitz multiple Jedi and Sith at the same time.
He even took on four Jedi Masters when he was discovered to be the Sith Lord and killed two of them within seconds. Boomstick: For an old fart, he sure does move fast. And Vader is capable of moving at Mach 50, speeds! Wiz: While Palpatine has never been given any official Lightsaber Fighting Style of combat, his attacks are often aggressive, precise, and agile. He often prefers to augment many of his Sith abilities into his combat. Thanks to his extensive training under his master, Palpatine can use telekinesis, force sense, force speed, force concealment, force vision, force flight, force choke, force-drain, force maelstrom, and force storm!
He can even use the force to sense the weakness of others and show them illusions of their worst fears! Boomstick: He does like using a lot of force. It can usually vaporize flesh on contact or leave his victims as charred husks. Wiz: With his unlimited power, Palpatine has accomplished much in his time. He successfully hid his true persona from The Republic and the Separatists for years, even fooling the Jedi at the height of their prime.
