*SPOILERS* Sunset Shimmer vs. General Zod (MOS)

[TheUltimateAvenger 16]

Story (SPOILERS FOR EQUESTRIA GIRLS AND MOS): In a what if story that may never have passed, Sunset Shimmer was able to successfully defeat the Mane 6 before they were able to use the power of friendship, killing them in the process and eventually using her power to conquer Earth and Equestria with no problem, on another Earth in another time, General Zod has found a way to kill Superman before he can stop his plans to terraform Earth, and has finally made his New Krypton a reality. However a rip in the fabric of space and time has brought both of these powerful earths together. As Sunset Shimmer prepares to attack New Krypton, Zod and his soldiers confront her. Zod begins the assault on Sunset Shimmer and the fighting begins.

Rules:
Both have a full understanding of their powers and have trained with them for a period of one year, but no prep time as it is a spur of the moment fight.

Scenario
1.) Zod is on his own and has access to no weapons or armor / Sunset Shimmer is on her own and no access to weapons or armor .
2.) Zod is on his own but has access to all of his on person weapons (Kryptonian Phaser Gun...thing) and armor / Same with Sunset Shimmer
3.) Zod is backed up by all his men and women and the power of the Phantom Zone Drive / Sunset Shimmer is backed by Demonic Snips and Snails, and her Highschool Zombie Army plus the Element of Magic.

Who wins?

[Scootalove 10,689]

It would have to be General Zod since, he has a lot of powers while Sunset Shimmer has a lot of backup by her side. Zod possesses some powers that Superman has while, Shimmer can definitely manipulate people. A pretty hard battle to decide, so I would have to go with General Zod since he has advanced Krypton technology and a huge army.

[Orablanco Account 3,707]

Yeah, Zod. It's not even a contest. Yeah, demon powers and all, but even if we accept that Shimmer's pointy fingers and Flaming-Freakazoid hairdo are a match for Zod's years of combat experience and demigod powers, which they aren't, but Zod has back-up from equally powerful and ruthless fanatics. Shimmer is backed up by frail teenagers and those two dinguses, demon powers or not.

 

Zod is insulted that you would even question his prowess.

Fck zod.

Sunset Shimmer would easily WHUP that mans ass wide open.
And, plus, She can control the other Kryptons, and cause her army to EXPAND. Causing even more panic.
So, yeah.
Sunset wins, no doubt.

 I don't know, they did show some mind warping tech in MOS, and its possible they have some form of defense against mind attacks. Besides, Zod isn't like Supes....he goes for blood.

[SunsetDemon 31]

An alternate scenario on how she got into the fight in her nicer form: Instead of killing the Equestria Girls, she found a dark pendant one school night and she wore it, instantly transforming her back into the demon form. And Sunset would win because her demon form kicks ASS!

True, Zod could easily take Sunset down. But couldn't she still "brainwash" him and his army like she did to the teens? And you can't forget about Snips n' Snails.

[--Thunder Bolt-- 534]

Zod, 3/0, easily.  Since this is billed as an impromptu fight, neither side has any intel about the other.  Zod is a general.  He would be able to tell at a glance that Sunset represented the leader (she has a crown), and that she and her two demons are the ones to take down first.  They're the command-and-control.  He would very likely deduce that if he can take them down quickly, he could gain a bridgehead in Summer's Earth, if not conquer the place outright.  Chances are good then, that he would want to strike first, and if he strikes first, he wins, period.

 

Sunset's only chance against Kryptonians is her mind-control power, and we don't know if it would work against them.  She doesn't even try to wield it against Twilight and the HuMane 5, which implies that it is not unlimited in its power.  If Sunset stops to brag (thinking she's confronting "mere" humans), or if her mind-control attack is not instantaneously successful, then Kryptonian super-speed and/or eye-lasers would decide the battle.  Sunset's "teenage army" would be utterly useless.  Snips and Snails are young teenage boys with weak wills (notice how they're minions of whoever seems strongest) and no combat experience.  They did nothing useful as demons in EG, and they'd be no match whatsoever for Kryptonian super-soldiers bred and trained from birth for battle.

 

No.  Contest. 

[Azrael the alicorn 72]

Sunset get so brutally beat up, that i would watch it with some pop-corn or cupcakes.

Zod is more smart, more sadic, more powerful, more everything else. It would show Sunset how a real VILLAIN act.

The army of teenagers would get slaughter in the most cruel of the ways, and her minions would get such death that it pale compared to those of God Of War.

[--Thunder Bolt-- 534]

I should also point out that Kryptonians have to practice intense mental discipline in order to filter out sensory overload from their super senses (super hearing, X-ray vision, etc.) and focus their minds and wills on what they want to perceive and do.  IOW, before they even meet Sunset Shimmer, the Kryptonians are already practicing, 24/7, the very art they need to resist her mind-control powers.  They only need to hold out for a fraction of a second, long enough to throw a punch (or some very large, heavy object), perform a super-speed tackle, or hose her down with eye-lasers.  There really isn't a way for Sunset to win.

 

On to our next match-up: Bambi vs. Godzilla!

Yeah Zod in all categories. Even giving Sunset Shimmer access to all her weapons(meaning one) and army its unfair for her. Here lets list the abilities we know sunset has and the abilities Zod has. 

Sunset Shimmer

natural abilities
-teleportation 
-telekinesis 
- an above average level of knowledge in magic

unnatural(using corrupted element of harmony)
-brainwashing human beings 
- magical projectile attacks
-transmogrification

Zod 

natural(on earth or lower grav planet)
- Super Strength, no really freaking strong like destroying buildings effortlessly strong
-Near invulnerability
-Flight 
-super speed(In MOS it is indicated super sonic no more)
-projected laser vision
-super hearing 
- the ability to see the infrared and other normally invisible spectrums.

unnatural(weapons and tech)
- advanced space and battle worthy armor
- nano technology
- mind probing technology
-terraforming technology that changes the density of whole planets.
-Interstellar flight


There is no contest here Sunset is doomed in pretty any senario. The only advantage she has is that kryptonians are vulnerable to magic. However Sunset doesn't seem to have the skill to keep up with an opponent as fast and well trained as Zod. If you had said Celestia, Luna, Sombra, or Discord then we would have a fight.

Sunset Shimmer may be smart enough to run and hide. However Zod WILL FIND HER!!!

If you had said Celestia, Luna, Sombra, or Discord then we would have a fight.

 

Of those, I think only Discord would really have a chance, since he could theoretically turn the Kryptonians into flies and swat them.  We've seen Celestia defeated by Chrysalis, and we don't really have any evidence that she's invulnerable to physical attacks like a super-speed punch or having Canterlot Castle thrown at her.  Likewise for Luna and Sombra.  In terms of pure power, Discord might be able to pull it off, but I think even he would lose on the intangibles--tactical and strategic skill, and the will to win.  We don't have any evidence that Discord would be invulnerable to Kryptonian attacks that come at him by surprise or faster than his reflexes.  If he knows an eye-laser is coming, he can turn it into a spray of chocolate milk or whatever, but how well would he withstand a super-punch delivered from behind or too fast for him to react?

 

Discord's main weakness relative to the Kryptonians is that he's really only in it for the lulz.  He was way too overconfident when the M6 returned with the EoH, and didn't pay enough attention to notice that they had shaken off his "turnings."  He never actually tried to hurt any of them, much less kill them.  In a confrontation with Zod, he would toy around in his usual way, probably not even using his powers directly against Zod until the Kryptonians delivered the first attempts at lethal attacks.  Zod is probably a good enough general to try to use sensors and other means to take Discord's measure before launching an attack while keeping his own abilities hidden, or at least assemble his whole fighting force before striking.  It would all come down to "Is Discord indestructible?", which is something we don't know.

Thing about the Chrysalis scenario is that we have no way of measuring the force of those magic blasts. For all we know they had the condensed force of a supernova in directed magical form. Chrysalis's power is only limited by the amount of love her victim feels for the one whose form she takes. People tend to undersell how powerful the royal sisters truly are. I remember in the Celestia vs Superman topic listing all the abilities she has or most probably has. Its a long and all together terrifying list. That's only what we know of her. Celestia and Luna have a very ambiguous past god only knows what else they have to show off. Sombra banished an entire Empire and all its residents out of reality or perhaps sent it forward in time. So hes not to be underestimated. To be honest I seriously doubt Zod would stand a chance against Discord. His powers are pretty freaking insane. He can alter reality at will this includes conjuring matter out of thin air, altering matter, altering lifeforms, altering weather patterns, bestowing life on to nonliving objects, projecting himself through time, altering his own physical form at will, and altering the very minds of other beings. All of this he demonstrated with ease. Reality itself is his personal plaything. I don't really see Zod being able to actually hurt him any more than he could hurt a member of the Q Continuum. 

 

edit: It would also seems Discord isn't really all that dependent on one particular form. He takes on the form of a balloon for one thing. Meaning he had no organs during that time. He was a piece of sentient plastic. In that scene he also decapitated himself turning his head into said piece of inflated plastic. While his body seemed completely unaffected. With that considered it seems unlikely that direct physical harm can truly hurt him.

[--Thunder Bolt-- 534]

Good points regarding Discord.  With that in mind, it's remarkable that the Elements of Harmony, artifacts wielded by ordinary well, OK, fairly extraordinary, but still--ponies--can affect him.

 

Returning to the original topic though, it's pretty obvious that Zod & Co. would squash Sunset Shimmer like a bug.

[Darker 1,351]

1.) Zod is on his own and has access to no weapons or armor / Sunset Shimmer is on her own and no access to weapons or armor .

 

Zod physically surpasses her, he wins easily.

2.) Zod is on his own but has access to all of his on person weapons (Kryptonian Phaser Gun...thing) and armor / Same with Sunset Shimmer

 

Since magic affects kryptonians, Sunset.

3.) Zod is backed up by all his men and women and the power of the Phantom Zone Drive / Sunset Shimmer is backed by Demonic Snips and Snails, and her Highschool Zombie Army plus the Element of Magic.

 

Zod's army is much more helpful than those demonic henchmen or the zombies, and Sunset's magic is not powerful enough to attack all of Zod's minions.

 

Oh, and the Power of tha Phantom Zone Drive? They win rather easily.

[Hyperactive_Y0utuber 13]

General Zod WILL FIND Waldo.
