LEGO Adaptation Battle Royale

 

"What's interesting about Lego is it's constantly reminding you that it's a facsimile of something else." - Christopher Miller

Luke Skywalker, the chosen one from the LEGO Star Wars Galaxy.

Batman, the Caped Dark Knight of the LEGO DC Universe. 

Harry Potter, the boy who lived in a Wizarding LEGO World.

Indiana Jones, Archeologist, Nazi Fighter and Treasure Hunter seeking various LEGO Treasures.

Ah LEGOs, these plastic construction bricks have filled the childhoods of millions if not billions of children (as well as adults) across the world, from small houses, cars, cities, and space machines, to knights, pirates, vikings, ninjas, robots and so much more. LEGO made a large history during its existence opening possibilities where our imagination only has materialistic limits. And aside from its own stories, LEGO served as a way to tell us about stories and characters we know and love in their own slapstick humorous way. These 4 heroes are the biggest example of legacy LEGO created in retelling stories through its constructable pieces and chaotic nature. But out of the most legendary adaptation minifigures who will be left in one piece?

Before we start…

Starting from the roster: Aside from the ones in this MU, LEGO has made plenty of other adaptations/themes whether it be in the form of sets, games and more: Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic World, Marvel Superheroes, Incredibles, Fortnite. Obviously the battle royale could be bigger or could feature other characters or could be an absolutely different battle royale altogether featuring characters that are more known as LEGO’s own IPs. It’s pretty obvious that there is really no definitive consensus in these Battle Royales. So let’s make 2 things clear, one, as the title suggests this is a battle royale between LEGO adaptations, particularly main protagonists of said adaptations, LEGO’s own stories like Movie, City, Ninjago, Chima, Monkey Kid, Bionicle, etc. are out of the window. Two, for the sake of being not too ambitious this blog is talking about only 4 out of many, any more would probably make it way too bloated for its own good. After all this Battle Royale as a MU is not just for the sake of debate but also is just a really fun fight, and keeping the balance with that is quite important too. 

The choice here fell for the most iconic, relevant and standout adapted franchises/protagonists, best of the best so to speak (with more definitive protagonists to use), so for instance it doesn’t include LEGO Jack Sparrow, LEGO Owen Grady (from Jurassic World) or recent example - LEGO Aloy, because their relevance is not beyond a single game, nor does it include LEGO Marvel Superheroes or LEGO Lord of the Rings or even dare we say, again, LEGO Fortnite characters, they don’t really have an actual clear protagonist to use, at least in context of their stories given they don’t give particular focus to one character and usually several people are heavily involved instead. 

And well, almost none of the aforementioned examples are as iconic as these 4 are as sort of staples of LEGO IP adaptations, Star Wars and Harry Potter are franchises from whom LEGO basically started this whole thing, Batman was the one who did the start of LEGO making sets of DC Comics characters (which later on after both Batman and Spider-Man were discontinued for some time turned into LEGO doing superheroes of both DC and Marvel) and Indiana Jones is also one of the first licensed sets that went on having own games even if discontinued as of now. It may not be an objectively best roster choice but in our view, these 4 are probably the most important and memorable franchises in the history of LEGO that planted a seed for them to go bigger and create sets, games, cartoons, etc. for other franchises up to this day. Plus 3 of these have literally their names in the title and Luke is basically THE Star Wars protagonist so choices felt fairly natural.

Now media speaking, we will be analyzing the original games (along with DLCs) that they all come from, as well as the Skywalker Saga remake for Luke and the various animations, actual LEGO sets and advertisements for all of these themes. This includes the… ungodly amount of LEGO Star Wars and Batman/DC films. However, we will not be taking into account either LEGO Dimensions or the LEGO Batman Movie (and by virtue, the LEGO Movie franchise in general), as these would clearly favor Batman to a much larger degree than the other opponents and would miss the point of the debate in the first place, so no Doctor Who or Teen Titans Go scaling for you (plus specifically LEGO Movie Batman is pretty much an entirely different Batman in terms of personality and physiology by a bit, even LEGO Dimensions itself very notably acknowledges that LEGO Batman is both more serious and a lot more competent than his LEGO Movie counterpart). 

For similar reasons LEGO Fortnite (where most of the roster of this matchup already can meet each other) and other crossover material such as Dimensions for Harry Potter, Star Wars Complete Saga (and Skywalker Saga + some other SW cameos here and there) for Indiana Jones, Daffy Duck in LEGO Batman 3 (yes that’s a thing) along with DC’s very own comic Mr Mxyzptlk (despite the “every Mxy is the same” thing which also happens to refer to LEGO for some reason), will also be dismissed. 

Now how would we treat them in-game? Well aside from us allowing for everyone to get everything across their media, even sets or items that may be tricky to use normally in the context of games, one thing we won't be allowing ourselves to use are Red Blocks and other identical cheats that come in every LEGO game, they are a bit unessential overall and we attempt to take a look particularly at specific characters and their strengths they can (some with solid amount of trickery involved but can nevertheless) achieve on their own instead of simply going free play. You may not have to worry overall, as you may find out that these 4 still have a lot to offer. 

Aside from that, let us also address the treatment of feats/mechanics within the series. Despite all of them being LEGO Minifigures, we will treat all of them still as well, more than that so to speak. It may seem like a no-brainer but it’s worth noting that while everything is seemingly plastic, the narrative intent is usually different depending on what is being built. This isn’t like the LEGO Movie scenario where everything is basically a plastic toy (in Movie’s context at least) and more so like the LEGO Ninjago and other story driven LEGO’s IPs when it comes to that. Should be pretty obvious that some grey blocks represent a metallic build while some grey blocks represent stone build, that nature like trees and plants are still trees and plants that may need water despite being built out of LEGO, etc. You get the idea, and as such, it should be more fair to treat such a match up a bit more beyond just toy comparison.

Oh yeah it also may or may not have Spoilers for original source material of most of these LEGO adaptations (well, duh they all are around tens of years old so you guys probably already know all about them, so that is to be expected). With the instructions of our set done, we now can welcome you to this new built LEGO Adaptation Battle Royale Blog! 

Background

LEGO Luke Skywalker

“Hmmm"

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away… It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy....this is the beginning of one of the biggest cosmic sagas we all know and love up to this day - STAR WARS. We all know this story, young Luke Skywalker, once was a farmer living in deserts of planet Tatooine, unaware of what the destiny have prepared for him, when he acquired droids R2-D2 and C-3PO everything changed, as they were no ordinary droids, but rather custodians of a message for Obi-Wan Kenobi from Princess Leia. With a message to help and deliver secret plans of destruction of the Death Star.

And as later turned out it wasn’t like Luke had any choice left, given his family was still eliminated by the Empire. The quest was rather simple at first, find a ship, fly away from this almost empty desert and deliver the message to Alderaan. And even in a LEGO the planet was doomed by the Death Star. Nevertheless, at the cost of losing Kenobi, Luke managed to save Princess Leiya and later, destroy the Death Star to save the rebellion. The rest is history, Empire striking back in Hoth, Luke training with Yoda, Darth Vader - iconic ruthless sith lord just turns out to be Luke’s father (who would’ve guessed), yet in the end helping Luke to defeat the evil Emperor, and afterwards despite some harsh times in his career, he managed to help new generation in the face of Ray Skywalker grow for Jedis to keep protecting peace in the Galaxy. So much before, in-between and after Luke's story that it is hard to retell the entire story even through just LEGO sets…which is why Star Wars is probably one of LEGO’s biggest sources of various ideas & sets that just keep constantly coming up day after day, year after year, and as long as they will keep at it, the force will continue to build with them… 

LEGO Batman

"Hmmm"

Gotham city is not your ordinary bursting metropolis, as it’s filled to the brim with crime and a myriad of supervillains at each corner. You wouldn’t expect any force to stand against the delinquency, yet there is one. It is no man, for it is self proclaimed to be vengeance itself, it is the dark knight, and it is Batman, who creates horror in the hearts of any criminal who dares step foot in his city. But what, or better yet, who lies behind the mask of the caped crusader? As it turns out, it’s none other than the orphaned billionaire philanthropist prince of Gotham city, Bruce Wayne. Bruce was a kind kid born to his rich family, although it wouldn’t be long before tragedy struck after an early cinema leave left the young vulnerable Bruce orphaned. For the next decades of his life, Bruce would travel around the entire world to train himself to fight against the crime in his city not as a man, but as a symbol of fear. 

In his journey, Batman would not just build a tremendous gallery of rogues, but make formidable alliances, such as by forming a dynamic duo alongside his adopted son who’d later be known as the hero Robin, and even the Justice League consisting of heroes from all over the globe and universe. Together, they wouldn’t just keep Gotham safe, but the entire world too, against the likes of the clown prince of crime the Joker, the nefarious CEO of Lexcorp Lex Luthor, and even the intergalactic knowledge seeking alien Brainiac. Despite his rocky origins, Batman managed to be more than a symbol of fear, and would inspire hope in society and the youth as a great hero, and perhaps the best hero in LEGO DC history. It makes sense that it all started with this caped knight crusader and not the one with super powers like Superman, or Flash, or Wonder Woman, it is with Batman, that despite his lack of powers, his intelligence that originally led him to build incredible amount of tools to face just as tricky gotham criminals, gave LEGO an immensely big source material to create from by themselves, and at that point, this material will keep building up for more sets to build…

LEGO Harry Potter

"Hmmm"

Welcome to the Wizarding World, where behind the common lives of average citizens hides a world full of magic, almost literally, newspapers along with pictures being alive, various magical creatures from trolls to goblins and dragons, but perhaps its most notable difference is that in this world, people carry ability to use magic and built society based on it. Throughout history there were plenty of wizards and witches with incredible wisdom, mighty power, or sometimes with evil deeds lurking behind their backs. But perhaps one of the most legendary wizards of this world is the one who managed to face the strongest one at his newborn age - Harry Potter, the boy who lived. Yet the title like that he gained not without a reason - one bright night when nothing foreshadowed trouble, but suddenly his family was attacked and killed by Lord Voldemort himself, however when he tried to strike down the young boy, his attack failed, leaving young Potter with nothing but a mere lightning scar on his forehead. Several years passed, as Harry had been adopted by his very abusive aunt and uncle, where he was treated with mostly neglect, mainly out of familial jealousy between his aunt and mom, until this all came to an end when he got his fated letter to Hogwarts a week before his 11th birthday. His uncle, however, attempted to hide it from Harry, from either getting rid of the letter or moving the whole family into a lighthouse. This was all in vain as Hagrid, an old friend of Harry’s parents, found them, gave Harry his rightful letter, and led him to Hogwarts - magical school that teaches children magic. 

During his time at Hogwarts, Harry would join one of the 4 clubs - Gryffindor which identifies bravery and boldness, and Harry throughout his several years in it managed to demonstrate it along with his two closest friends, Ron and Hermione. During their time in Hogwarts, every time they had to deal with more sabotage, mainly from jealous rivals and such. Not only that, but with each year evil forces tend to grow more and more across the hogwarts. To the point that eventually Lord Voldemort came back and started to cause havoc yet again. This would cause Harry and many friends he managed to get in his Hogwarts years to face Voldemort and his horcruxes. And despite the magical might of Voldemort being at its peak, in the climax Harry and everyone who was by his side managed to be brave and bold enough to do what no wizard could do, defeating him who must not be named, freeing his world from fear of dark forces. While this story is one of the simpler ones, it is still among the big legacy of LEGO portrayal, with so many sets in the past and with a good amount of new sets coming back to this day, after all when it comes to Harry Potter, majority like to immerse themselves into its magical world, and there is nothing more fitting for the world immersion than the one that you build for yourself...

LEGO Indiana Jones

"Hmmm"

When it comes to adventures, as an opportunity to travel across the entire globe in search of something new, archeology, perhaps is the most fitting job, but not all archeologists have got what it takes to be a real adventurer. A lot of them are consumed by greed, myths and power that relics of the past have behind them. Blinded by such things, the path to uncover the past of humanity is much harder, as barely anyone gets to live to tell a tale about all these treasures later on. Indiana Jones on the other hand, has come to get enough wits and guts to go through practically all challenges that are presented in his career. One small journey as a child led him to eventually go through most globally fascinating adventures an archeologist could think of. 

Whether it be a tricky temple with a massive boulder chasing you at the end, or perhaps an underground temple full of snakes followed by a chase where you fight dozens of soldiers, or freeing children from secret mines that are used by a cultist, or finding a holy grail capable of granting you immortality, and on top of all that he gets to fight gigantic creatures never seen before, Indiana faced a multitude of challenges often followed by a companion. While his theme didn’t last particularly long, it showcased how even with 3 movies there were plenty of moments worthy to build, and even though discontinued nowadays, there are still plenty of ideas left in the storage, and who knows, maybe one day we will get one more set that would be as big of a treasure as the ones Indy finds daily. Because it’s thanks to adventures that are like Indiana Jones’, we get moments that you would like to experience, brick by brick. 

Experience and Skill

LEGO Luke Skywalker

In both the canon and legends runs, Luke Skywalker is noted to be one of the most talented force users in the Star Wars universe. His LEGO counterpart, while far less in this department, managed to obtain lots of aspects from his original movies. Even as just a blue milk drinking farmer boy, Luke was so good of a mechanic that he was able to repair BB-8, a droid who comes decades after his technological age, quite easily in a few seconds. While inexperienced in direct combat or using space ships, he was already able to defeat tens, if not hundreds of Stormtroopers in Tatooine and Death Star, as well as moments after, he exploded The Death Star while piloting X-Wing for the first time. 

And later on, he was very quickly learning the power of Force, even before meeting Yoda, Luke was able to do some force tricks like using telekinesis to build objects, and afterwards he managed to quickly master it and lightsaber fighting, to the point that eventually, he became the Jedi master (like his father, before him) who is capable of utilizing all force tricks LEGO Force users have ever done.

Pretty often Luke tends to be creative with and without using his force abilities, often coming up with new ways to build objects in his favor, along with using his force abilities against foes with same powers like Darth Vader. 

LEGO Batman

One of Batman's most formidable skills in any of his iterations is his sheer knowledge and combat prowess, and his LEGO counterpart is no exception. He is extremely experienced, having years of experience of fighting crime as well as studying military history which includes European knights, desert nomads, and samurai warriors. He also trained with ninjas, African Bushmen, and Nepalese monks. Batman skill is also up to par, stating to be a martial arts expert as well as quite possibly the greatest martial artist alive. And it’s not like his enemies aren’t also deeply experienced and skilled either! Batman has constantly fought and defeated Bane who regularly deploys military strategies in his fights plus Batman can even outsmart Brainiac, who’s stated to have “twelfth level intellect”. 

LEGO Harry Potter

The Wizarding World isn’t easy to live on with a variety of magical creatures or various evil wizards and witches that can kill you in a matter of a spell or two. Which is why Hogwarts trains kids to understand such a bizarre world and work around it. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) for Harry danger and conflict was meeting him every year of his studying, just like in the original books and movies. 

Whether it be various creatures, Hogwarts’ Puzzles, Dark Mages, ghosts, plants, curses, dragons, mermaids and so much more. Practically Harry managed to study in both magic and potion making, while facing off various evil forces in his school, to the point that eventually at the end of the story he even managed to not only successfully duel several adepts of dark magic, but also  face off the big bad Voldemort himself and fight with him on equal terms despite him having the most powerful wand in Potterverse. At the end of the day, Harry is practically one of the most skilled wizards of his world, who managed to live through almost, if not, everything that The Wizarding World has to offer.

LEGO Indiana Jones

His original incarnation is already known as one of history's greatest archeologists, and his blocky counterpart is not much different. A bit sillier sure, but one still notable as one who has fought (E Rated) Nazis, stopped the (E-Rated) Thuggee Cult, and found the Holy Grail (and also Crystal Skull happened I guess). In fact his adventures might even be more impressive than Film Indy, as he's faced giant monsters never seen in the films.

Indiana Jones is a genius in terms of archeology knowledge, but isn't too much of a fighter. He generally uses more underhanded tactics to win fights, like using helicopter blades, cutting half of a bridge rope to leave the bridge on its side, and just using his gun for sword fights. That said, his skills with a bullwhip are to be admired and he can still throw hands and use weapons effectively.

Equipment

LEGO Luke Skywalker

Blue Milk

Perhaps the first thing to know about this Luke in particular is that he really, really likes Blue Milk. To the point that a few years ago LEGO even decided to dedicate an entire polybag to him liking it that much. Is there something special behind it? Not really, it probably just tastes good, that aside this is also overall just a rare kind of Minifigure now given there are no sets with the head covered in a Blue Milk of all things…

Holoprojector

(Footage Credit to Sophie Brown)

Straight from the Skywalker Saga, Luke gets access to a Holoprojector, this device aside from being a way to communicate with the rest of the galaxy, basically acts as an in-game menu as well as allows Luke to see the map of the galaxy and its planets for faster navigation.

Blasters

Before becoming a Jedi, Luke had to use another effective weapon to wear his opponents down, in this case it being a blaster (design of which varies depending on the year of the set) that shoots blasts of energy at opponents, capable of basically killing them in a shot or 2. Additionally all Blasters just so happen to have a grappling hook to use, in both Complete and Skywalker Sagas, how convenient. 

Rifle Blaster (and Binoculars)

That’s right, aside from average Blasters Luke also seems to carry a kind of blaster that seems to be a rifle with a scope and longer range. As well as he carries binoculars that let him see from far, both in 75271 Luke’s Landspeeder set. The design is similar to those some of the bounty hunters have, which can shoot blasts rapidly enough to melt normally indestructible golden LEGO Blocks. 

Lightsaber

Luke’s main weapon of choice, pretty identical to the original lightsaber in terms of functionality. Quoting G1 for a moment, Lightsabers are famously known for their ability to seemingly cut through anything they come into contact with, though there are materials such as Beskar which can resist a lightsaber strike. The blade obviously is energy based like original lightsabers are and in-game and story can basically one shot all enemies, or even explode bigger objects in contact (because they can. don’t ask how).

Disguises

Luke also occasionally had to use disguise to go through the security systems of the Empire (we’ll go through that soon enough as well). Though his more notable example of disguise was when he cosplayed Darth Vader to avoid his fangirls, which temporarily worked until he took off the mask. While he kept the mask though disguise was so effective it even somehow convinced the Empire commanders that Luke is Vader, which Luke used to his advantage and commanded them to destroy their base…and they did it without much doubt until the real Vader showed up. Impressive, most impressive.  

Bounty Hunter Helmet

Additionally, one of the disguises not only helps him to get through certain security cameras, but also gives him bonus abilities, in this case, Bounty Hunter Helmet gives Luke an unlimited amount of bombs he can throw at his opponents. Bombs in question are so effective, they one shot opponents and can even explode silver objects, which as we know in good ol LEGO games, are one of the kinds of objects that is impossible to be broken normally, in this case even with Lightsaber.

The Stormtrooper Disguise

Not a little too short for this minifigure. Simply by wearing any of the Empire clothes, notably Stormtrooper’s pants, armor and helmet, Luke can fully disguise himself as a stormtrooper. What adds onto this disguise unlike with aforementioned ones is that not only Luke gets to throw detonators that can destroy silver objects, but he also can get access to the Empire Firearms, which while limited in ammo offer more unique gunfire compared to the average blasters.

Power Up

You see a glowing blue ball right here? That is basically a power up for people in LEGO Star Wars. When in contact, force users’ lightsabers turn purple in color while they themselves become invincible to any damage, no explosion will hurt while blasts from blasters will just bounce off. Aside from that, The User of the power up vastly increases in speed as they can build stuff faster for instance. It is however temporary and lasts only for about 20 seconds or so, so it’s better to use it as efficiently as possible.

T-16 Skyhopper

You may not actually know this but prior to battle of Yavin and further, Luke used to have a T-16 Skyhopper, this air speeder was the first to provide many youths with their flight training. Its design is similar to tri-wing ships you know of, such as the iconic Imperial Shuttle. While it may also not look like it, the minifigure you see inside of this Skyhopper is indeed, Luke Skywalker, at least one of the LEGO Star Wars books heavily implies towards that direction. 

Desert Skiff

One of the first sets with LEGO Luke where he and Han get to ride in a desert skiff after the fight against Java. As you can see at that time it wasn’t exactly packed, but it was still something, as it can still fly. Though later on, the set was more detailed, bigger and elaborate, albeit still without a proper weapon.

Landspeeder

Luke’s first main form of travel, capable of traveling across the desert of Tatooine in a short timeframe, this Landspeeder, while a bit defenseless, still is useful as basically a speedy car you can ram into an opponent with.

Rebel Snowspeeder

Luke’s second well known vehicle he can use. It can fly on air, can shoot blasts, and has its own grappling hook which can grab other objects like bombs or AT-ATs and mess with them around. Fast, strong and quite effective all in all.

Speeder Bike

A Speeder Bike Luke used back in Ewok, this one can’t fly the same way Snowspeeder can, but it is still a fast bike, probably faster than 2 aforementioned ones. Luke can shoot in it and even outmaneuver opponents in similarly fast vehicles.  

X-Wing Fighter

Luke’s most iconic flying vehicle, the X-Wing fighter with which Luke destroyed the Death Star. This X-Wing can shoot blasts of energy, fly not only in the air, but across space and planets thanks to its hyperdrive and most notably on LEGO side, can pick up pink bombs/rockets that can be used as powerful homing attacks on the enemy, just like aforementioned Bounty Hunter bombs these pink bombs/torpedos can also damage (silver) objects that normally can be unharmed with your average blaster shots. These are also rockets with which Luke destroyed the Death Star in the first place.

In Skywalker Saga X-Wing along with other flying transports also received a buff which on top of their average health, they also have force fields that can protect from damage and eventually regenerate, however if damaged too much the forcefield will break leaving vehicle open for fire, which in turn would be much harder to repair mid-fight.

X-Wing Mech

That’s right, this version of Luke as of recently also got a straight up mech designed after his X-Wing! His mech isn’t just a big fighting robot though, it has a giant blaster and giant lightsaber in its arms to shoot from distance and cut through anything. Additionally in its back it also has an “X-Wing jetpack” which allows it to fly. In its back Luke can also place his own lightsaber to pull it out after coming out of the mech.

Miscellaneous Vehicles

(TN by MandRproductions)

LEGO Star Wars is a very old theme so it’s natural that plenty of events or vehicles got recreated with more and more sets.

LEGO Batman

Batsuit

Bruce Wayne’s signature armor, the Batsuit. The Batsuit is made out of triple-weave Kevlar which is positioned primarily around his Bat-symbol. The Batsuit is also bulletproof as well as fire resistant. In addition it also features a weighted cape, good for gliding. His cowl comes with night vision and communication arrays. It is also capable of zooming in. The Batsuit also holds an electric system that can shock assailants as a last resort (although Batman never shows this). In LEGO DC Super Villains it seems like his suit went through an upgrade, make’s sense considering he’s fighting one of DC strongest villains, Darkseid. The Batsuit can turn completely invisible, comes with x-ray vision, can illuminate areas, and even comes with a drone. Lastly his suit also comes with the utility belt, which with a click of a button can summon the Batmobile. It also features bat-cuffs, a first aid kit, and batarang’s.

Speaking of batarangs…

Batarangs

Batman's main weapon of choice. While it may be small it should not be underestimated, it’s extremely versatile and packs quite a punch!. Batman can use it as simply as boomerangs, grapples, and some are even remote controlled. Some batarangs have extremely specific purposes, such as destroying glass or being explosive. Batman is also extremely skilled with it, being able to home up to a variety of different targets at once with such precision with the batarang always coming back to him. Batman also doesn’t even need to pay attention to his targets to successfully target them. If he needs to he is also able to use his environment to his advantage to maneuver his batarangs.

Grappling Hook

Batman grappling hook, good for scaling large buildings and in general provides him some good mobility.

Jetpack

This equipment provides him with even better mobility than his grappling hook. With his iconic cape now being replaced with a rocket booster and a jet booster core all of which resembles well… like his original cape. 

Batglider

If Batman doesn’t feel like using his original cape to glide he can always use the Batglider. Bat ears on top, poseable wings that allow it to glide, and control handles by which Batman controls glider’s flow in the first place, albeit it makes him practically occupied from using other objects as his hands are busy.

Suits

Demolition Suit

The first of many suits Batman can swap between on the fly, this allows him to place bombs (called bat bombs) powerful enough to blow up silver objects that his normal kit fails to dent. He can use up to 6 of these specific bombs. 

Heat Protection Suit

This suit gives Batman resistance to heat (as the name implies), while also allowing him to throw flaming Batarangs (albeit via using a Red Brick which we’ll dismiss but it's pretty cool!) which are much more powerful than normal Batarangs due to this fancy thing called fire!

Sensor Suit

This broccoli lookin’ ass suit gives him the pretty neat powers of x-ray vision (even being able to view someone's skeletal structure) and invisibility. Quite useful for sneaking up on unsuspecting LEGO Goons. It even has this niche ability to completely nullify one's invisibility!

Power Suit

I’ll give you one guess as to what the main benefit to this one is. Though besides amplifying his strength, this suit is pretty much identical to his demolition suit where Batman is able to place bat bombs but what makes this suit unique is that he's capable of shooting out rockets from his back!

Electricity Suit

Undoubtedly one of Batman's more powerful suits. Being able to absorb and store electricity as well as being capable of using it for combat, since with each punch he connects, it delivers an electric shot. His gun can also fire bolts of electricity. This suit also makes him resistant to electricity.

Space Suit

One of Batman's more versatile suits (it also appears the most in his Lego films) seeing as it straight up gives him space-flight, though unfortunately it requires fuel. Besides giving him flight it also gives him the ability to shoot a laser from his hand as a weapon, the laser in question is hot enough to burn golden LEGO pieces.

Arctic Suit

Surprisingly one of Batman's more deadlier suits, seeing as he can straight up freeze his enemies with his gun or just fire small dolts of what seems to be ice to his opponents. One can possibly argue that this a valid form of Batman being able to ignore one’s durability seeing as freezing someone makes them brittle, much easier to break. 

Sonar Suit

(Credit to GameUnboxingReviews for the Screenshot)

This suit gives him the Sonar Gun, which allows him to emit waves that can destroy glass, alongside giving him an AoE blast and the ability to summon bats to attack his opponents. He can also shoot the blasts in smaller barrages and can glide. 

Side Note: The Glide Suit, Sonic Suit, and Bat Suit all have shared properties, therefore we are compositing into one to reduce redundancy..

Scuba Suit

This suit essentially lets Batman be able to breathe underwater for an indefinite amount of time. It also comes with a harpoon gun. 

Darkest Night

A variant Batman can unlock on free roam. Wielding a green lantern ring Batman is capable of flight, creating constructs, and shooting generic energy beams or laser beams. And Just like Hal Jordan and the rest of the Green Lantern’s he’s capable of being strengthened from the power of will. 

Sinestro Corps

Upon buying the 75th Anniversary DLC, Batman can wield a yellow lantern ring. Identical to the green lantern ring; Batman can fly, create constructs, and shoot generic energy beams or laser beams. Although instead of being strengthened by will he’s strengthened by fear. However considering Batman can only unlock this via a paywall your mileage may vary if Batman should acquire such an item in the first place. 

Land Vehicles

Batmobile

One of Batman's (and in general) most iconic vehicles, a personal car Batman uses to travel across the Gotham cities and stop crimes as soon as possible. But aside from speed this vehicle packs various weapons to attack with in case, like guns or rockets. It can also generate force fields and is more than capable of driving itself. It even has access to the Batcomputer. It’s also strong enough to destroy some of Batman's own vehicles such as the Bat-boat and the Bat Bike.

Batcycle

Aside from cars Batman also carries various bikes, this one in particular, Batman used this Bat-Pod inspired cycle to chase down Harley Queen in her hammer truck. It comes with Bat-wings that are made from LEGO dragon parts, LEGO Technic beam, double tires to keep cycle balanced pipes on back and Bat symbol in front. 

Bat Bike

One more bike in Batman’s arsenals which, in comparison to other builds here is a lot more simply built. With 2 durable wheels, handle, and rockets on edges, it perhaps is not as threatening but still a mobile and dangerous option considering its strong enough to harm the Batmobile! 

Batpod 

Yeah Batman got plenty of bikes here and there. This one is a lot larger and built more complicated, as well as one of those rare/exclusive sets that can straight up cost 2500 Euro on Ebay (Jesus Christ). Nevertheless it got guns in front, durable tires and 2 wheels to control this giant thing. Though with how it is designed ramming into foes probably won’t sound like a bad strategy either.

Batman’s Buggy

As image describes this buggy is small but has more horsepower thanks to its quadruple engine built in the back. With smooth tires in front for speed and treaded tires in back for grip, flame directly taken from Bionicle’s sword and central stabilizer being a bat-like wing. Most importantly what adds onto its more uniqueness is a grappling hook that allows it to grab onto various objects. 

The Dragster

Perhaps the weirdest kind of Batmobile out of all presented here, due to how thin it is. As thin as Catwoman’s bike we see right near him. Though not like it is useless. It is still fast, has 2 rockets in its back along with a Batwing, what makes it unique is that this thing you see at the end in front, is apparently a laser cannon. I’m a bit surprised as you are, honestly I expected it to be a minigun.

Batblade 

Well that’s…a lot more weird looking compared to all other ones…but that won’t stop us from looking at it closer nevertheless, as a part of 2006 set 7783 The Batcave this Batblade is designed to speed across frozen surfaces and destroy anything ice-related. Meaning it’s kind of like a weaponized sleigh give or take. It has rotating cannons built from LEGO binoculars, flame-thrower nose and of course, blades to run smoothly across ice, a detail which previously was used in the BIONICLE theme. 

The Tumbler 

Batman begins the Dark Knight crusade utilizing this interesting vehicle, a sorta cross between a car and a tank. It comes packed with weaponry and the armor makes it incredibly durable. Perfect for when the Dark Knight rises.

Bat-Tank

And if Tumbler wasn’t enough, Batman has a straight up Tank up his sleeve, heavily armored from top to bottom. Smooth studdles front, reinforced sides that protect components, working tank treed and most notably, triple missile launcher which has two finger-flick rockets on the sides and a central old-fashioned rubber-tipped missile that automatically fires after being tilted.

Knightcrawler

This Knightcrawler comes from a set dedicated to the Justice League movie, where Batman was using it to help Flash fight off against Parademons. It is pretty identical to other aforementioned vehicles albeit this one has straight up two miniguns on top to shoot off every nearby threat.

Mobile Bat

This thing is so massive that you probably can’t even explain everything without just putting an entire box both in front and in back. But as you can see it is basically a Bat Truck, which can carry along a mini Bat jeep, Bat bike, mini Bat plane, mini Bat boat and on top of all that this truck also contains a mini room with various tools, a cage to put a criminal in and a straight up Batcomputer. 

Batman Mech Armor

Luke Skywalker isn’t the only one to carry a mech into this fight! And yes Batman has numerous mechs to his disposal. Shouldn’t be too surprising considering his status. Unlike his other mech this one comes with a huge Batarang, stud launcher, and a jetpack. 

Bat-Mech 

The Bat Mech is perhaps one of Batman's more deadly mechanizations that he can wield and utilize. He regularly uses this on one of Justice League's more tougher and intelligent opponents, Gorilla Grodd. And despite its large stature and bulky appearance it’s quite flexible being able to freely maneuver its body and can easily scale large buildings. It has a net on his right hand cannon with which he can catch criminals, a twin stud shooter in its chest allowing to gun down foes who are too far, and for some reason wings, it doesn’t seem like they make mech fly, and instead apparently it works as an armor… I mean, I guess they help to identify that this is indeed Batman’s property.

Air Vehicles 

Batwing

But if various jetpacks or glides are not enough for bats, he got some bigger flying tools on his sleeve, notably his iconic Batwing. Launching from LEGO Technic support structure, this Batwing is both a fast and durable vehicle in Batman's arsenal. Hinged air brake, wings that split for attack mode, removable canopy, translucent navigation lights in front, Bat-symbol because people must know that it is Batman’s property and most importantly, can shoot out rockets! Just like the Batmobile, Batman is capable of summoning it with it even capable of driving itself and even attacking! The Batwing is also strong enough to finish off the Batmobile! But it doesn’t end with just “bat-plane”…

Batcopter

This one goes out to all you river fallers out there. The Batcopter comes with two missiles and a grappling hook to mess with any other flying vehicles out there. Along with bat designed wings and bat logo, because he’s Batman

Bat-Rocket 

Batwing and Batcopter are all cool, they seek through the air, fairly versatile, but to reach outer space, Batman has access to The Bat-Rocket, packed with forward mounted energy blaster, multi-directional missile launcher, thruster rocket from wayne enterprises, and has retractable solar-powered wings for space maneuvering using the sun as fuel. 

The Bat

Yes that’s it, that’s just how it’s called - The Bat. This flying vehicle is what Batman used to chase Bane, with propellers on both sides, rockets to shoot down enemies wings that probably also help this weird machine to fly and a rope to which you can attach any minifigure. While it has a really confusing design to say the least, it still looks pretty cool and a decently versatile flying option for Bats.

Water Vehicles 

Batboat

Throughout his crime fighting history Batman not only had to travel across ground and air, but water as well, at which point he had access to various boats, notably here is the Batboat which Bats uses to pursue Killer Croc. Its twin engines are linked so if one is turned the other automatically rotates as well in the same direction, it also has spray-blocking canopy, water cannons, bright lights for spotting danger and hovercraft skirt. If that’s not enough, Batboat has another trick up its sleeve, if Batboat is damaged to the point of not being useful anymore, Batman can escape aboard in its miniature speedboat, which is docked between its engines. It lacks any method of fighting and is way smaller as well as less protected, however given its smaller weight and size, it is much more mobile and quick compared to the boat it is attached to.

Bat Jetski

One of the more old and rare LEGO sets, in this one we see Batman having a small jet-ski that has two flick fire missiles, outside of that it is pretty much only useful in water.

Bat Submarine

But besides swimming on water, Batman has tech to swim in water as well. This submarine was used by Batman to help Aquaman in a fight against Black Manta who also was prepared with an identical machine as well as a mind controlled shark. That being said, this submarine aside from being mobile is packing rockets on its 2 sides, so Batman was still a threatening foe.

Miscellaneous Bat-tech

(TN by Ashnflash)

There are tons of various versions of Batmobile, Batwing and some of other Bat Vehicles out there, and a solid amount of them are practically barely different from each other, thus we won’t be mentioning all of the vehicles, as there are plenty of repeats that are simply mundane to describe all of them for the sake of production.

LEGO Harry Potter

Wand

Much like the canon Potterverse, wizards and witches need the use of wands to cast spells. Harry has used several different models throughout his journeys, but they all generally act the same.  

Flying Broom

Just like in Harry Potter, our titular hero uses this broom to fly around at high speeds, and catch snitches.

Firebolt

A much more advanced Broomstick compared to the previous, more simpler one. Firebolt is described as the fastest broom at the time of its production, and was Harry’s first own personal broom. 

Pumpkin-copter

But if all of that wasn’t enough, one of the other Harry’s flying options is also using a Pumpkin as a mini helicopter, just by putting it on his head. Not his best option really, but certainly the funniest one.

Earmuffs 

Harry also has a pair of earmuffs to cover his ears from incredibly loud noises. They are especially useful when he needs to handle and use one specific loud creature, that being…

Mandrakes

Mandrakes are plant-like creatures that usually come from pots of sorts. While on the outside they look like your average plants, the moment you pull them out from their comfort zone, they start to erupt incredibly loud noises. Soundwaves so powerful that they can break glass and practically immobilize an unprotected foe.  As mentioned above Harry himself also needs Earmuffs so he can actually handle these creatures.

Spectrespecs

You see these weird goofy glasses Luna is wearing? Thanks to them in canon they made wrackspurts (invisible creatures that floated through one's ears causing their brain to go fuzzy) visible to the wizarding eye. However in LEGO it applies to other invisible stuff, such as invisible blocks that normally are impossible to interact with. After seeing them, Harry can use them to build whatever he likes, after which built objects become visible.

Strength Potion

As the name implies, this potion greatly amplifies Harry’s physical strength, making him able to move objects that normally would be impossible to move with magic alone.

Polyjuice Potion

Polyjuice potion allows Harry to basically turn into everyone he knows and can think of. Unlike other methods of hiding away like the ones that we’ll mention below this allows Harry to blend in with the group of other people. Though should be noted the effects are temporary, lasting most likely a brief hour if not less. Not only that, but potentially by using this potion Harry can also inherit abilities and/or arsenal of a person he turned into. 

For instance by turning into a Fat Friar Harry can literally become a ghost, while by turning into Hermione, Harry can inherit some of her arsenal like her book, her cat and two more bizarre objects that we’ll mention below…also, by turning into anyone amongst the Weasley family Harry can get access to Weasley boxes, list can go on and essentially through this Potion, if Harry doesn’t know a certain spell or doesn’t have a certain piece of equipment, he still gets access to them via using polyjuice potion. 

Side Note: Due to that we will give Harry a separate section to equipment later on, that technically don’t come from him, but he can use in theory via this very potion. As well as it would be mentioned whether he can use some of the spells by using polyjuice potion.  

Exploding Potion

Also self-explanatory potion, as this potion literally explodes the moment it is brewed. 

Invisibility Potion

Yet one more self-explanatory, albeit rare potion. Thanks to it, Harry can become completely invisible to the naked eye.

Ageing Potion

This potion basically “increases” your age, in a sense that thanks to them Harry can get himself a beard to pass through barriers that force you out if you are not older. Weasley twins tried that to get their names on the goblet of fire, but as seen above failed anyway.

Draught of Living Death

Well that’s a bit weird to explain, but basically, in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Harry managed to make this potion called Draught of Living Death, in canon it is supposed to be a sleep potion drinking which causes you to fall in a death-like sleep. Remembered that? Now forget about it at all because in LEGO Harry just turns into a skeleton…that’s it, that’s just what happens, he becomes a skeleton for about 10 seconds and turns back to normal. On the plus side, while being a skeleton Harry is somewhat invincible to any of the spells that could be used on him, but at the same time he can’t do anything other than move, he can’t even punch or build like a basic minifigure, no, he just moves around.

Barrel

In a classic Metal Gear fashion…

Cloak of Invisibility

Ok but here is one of the real stealth options for Harry. One of the three Deathly Hallows. With this special cloak, Harry can sneak around undetected by others as it turns him invisible, given the name. Obviously this doesn’t mean Harry is untouchable or unhearable, so he usually tends to go slow and as quiet as possible while wearing it.

Sword of Gryffindor

A powerful sword that only responds to those of Gryffindor deemed worthy successors, and was essential to Harry defeating Voldemort’s Horcruxes, as it could destroy them. It can also emit Basilisk venom.

Marauder’s Map

A map that has a detail of every square inch of Hogwarts, including hidden or secret areas of the school. It can also identify people with extreme accuracy, not being fooled by Animagi, Polyjuice Potions, or even the Cloak of Invisibility. The downside, as you expect, is the fact that it is only a map of Hogwarts, and nothing else.

Resurrection Stone

A stone capable of recalling loved ones from Death or controlling other spirits to do what Harry wants.

Polyjuice Potion Equipment

Pets (LEGO Ron, LEGO GInny, LEGO Hermione, etc.)

Surprisingly despite Harry having own owl pet (which you quite literally see above), he never gets to use him for help in games, like at all, whoops. Instead pets of his friends have come to rescue here and there. For instance Ron at first was using his pet rat to go through tubes and get access to details you normally can’t reach. Once the rat turned out to be Peter Pettigrew though, Ron’s pet changed to be an owl. Ginny can use her own Pygmy Puff pet for pretty much the same purposes but perhaps the most useful one is Hermione’s Cat - Crookshanks, as not only it can go through these pipes/tight places like every other pet, it can also dig up details from the ground, which normally is only possible either with a shovel or a dog/werewolf. 

Wrench (LEGO Arthur Weasley)

Despite having something as versatile as magic, Harry and other characters don’t possess engineering skills to fix what’s broken, however Arthur Weasley, father of Ron Weasley, can pretty much magically fix all broken technology with a little help of his (presumably magical) wrench.

Weasley Boxes (Anyone from Weasley Family)

George and Fred Weasleyes are canonically known to be pranksters of the Potterverse, as such not only they have their own shop where they sell a variety of spells or equipment for pranks, they also pretty much placed various own branded boxes around the world. Said boxes no one can get access to except for Weasley family members. If anyone else tries, the box will reject them by physically harming a non-weasley looking person. However to Weasley this box can offer variety of stuff such as firework rockets that can cause decently big explosions, or sticky trainers that allow you to go on walls (look at the 2nd floor right wall of the building), or magical plants that grow pretty much instantly and help the user in an environment, to either pass through the obstacle or even interact with nearby objects.

Deluminator (LEGO Ron)

This specific device was granted to Ron after Dumbledore’s death. By using it, Ron can essentially take light from one of its sources and place it into another. 

Hermione’s Bag (LEGO Hermione)

…I said bag, not polybag!

Much better, thank you very much.

One of the most versatile items in the LEGO Wizarding World though is perhaps Hermione’s own bag. While it seems to be the size of an average bag, it is somewhat hammerspace in on itself as it contains dozens of objects of various sizes, either smaller than minifigures themselves or bigger than cars: plane, train, pickaxe, a giant hair dryer and a lot, a lot more. 

Time-Turner (LEGO Hermione)

One of the most bizarre artifacts of The Wizarding World, as thanks to it, the user can go back in time. The number of times one turned the hourglass corresponded to the number of hours one travelled back in time. However there are several “canon” nuances that are important for such an artifact to work properly. For one, in canon, the maximum length of travelling back in time is 5 hours. Any longer can potentially cause serious harm either to time or the traveler himself. Second of all, the way Time-Turner’s time travel works, goes by the rules of Novikov self-consistency principle: "Nothing can be changed because anything a traveller does merely produces the circumstances they had noted before travelling". 

Though at the same time there do seem to be cases of actual time paradoxes in canon, which contradicts Novikov’s principle, even in LEGO’s case beyond Year 3 example, not only time travelling does seem to cause changes within the time, but Hermione can also just…travel months if not years back in some of the examples which kind of contradicts to canon’s 5 hour limit. So for the sake of simplicity, let’s go with the middle road and say that Harry can’t interact with himself directly but can make changes in the past without direct interference.   

LEGO Indiana Jones

Whip

Indy’s most iconic weapon and arguably one of the most iconic weapons in all of fiction, what really needs to be said? Well, in addition to its usefulness in combat, it can also be used to swing across areas and to grab objects from a far distance or an opponent. As well as with a single swing of it Indy can just tie you up, immobilizing completely until you break out.

Bush

Can you find Indy here???

Barrel

Now find him here…

Guns

LEGO Indiana Jones is perhaps one of the closest themes where LEGO were actually doing military weapons for minifigures. And in the game, Jones got to use pretty much every single gun available, usually by stealing it from his opponents.

Pistol

Indy’s trademark gun, a simple pistol he uses for shooting down foes and winning sword duels.

Rifle

A very common piece of weaponry found on a lot of simple grunts.

Older Rifle

Indy also managed to use this kind of Rifle which shoots bullets so strong that it even pushes him back after usage.

Machine Gun

A much faster paced gun, firing in rapid bursts at enemies.

Bazooka

The strongest firearm Indiana has, the bazooka, which can fire off rockets that can break silver LEGO bricks which as you can already guess from the previous combatants are unbreakable by anything else.

Dynamite

Pretty much self-explanatory, highly-explosive weapon which can destroy anyone in a single blast as well as destroy indestructible silver LEGO Bricks. 

Shovel

Also self-explanatory, with the shovel Indy can dig up whatever details may be underground. Or just dig himself a route underground either works.

Spear

Like expected Indy can also get his hands on some melee ranged weapons, such as spears that are either thrown at him, or can get out of the traps.

Scimitar

Similarly as with spears Indy used to take those from foes and use those against them, whether in melee combat or just throwing it at them, either works.

Wrench

If there is something broken and simply adding bricks together does not recover it, then perhaps you might also need to use a wrench. Indy by simply taking one of those can fix any of the broken tech nearby.

Torch

To light up surroundings for one, to melt all nearby ice for two, and to throw it as an explosive at snakes and others for three. Practical and (surprisingly) deadly item. 

Motorcycle

When getting out of the Nazi base, Indy decided to use a Motorcycle with a second seat to get away at high speeds while ramming and crashing everything in its way, as we see here. 

Plane

From time to time Indy also gets to fly in the plane to get away from trouble or even fight back against foes on equal ground. This one in particular Indy used during Last Crusade events while Nazis were chasing them down on air.

Car

The chase in question was continued in this black car later, it does not carry any particular weapon but is still an option for fast travel.

Boat

Though before that chase there was also another one in Venice Canal where Indy got to use a boat along with Elsa. While it lacks actual weapons in-game it could still damage other boats by simply ramming into them.

USSR Boat Car

(Gator, look out!!!)

During Crystal Skull events Indy also got to steal USSR’s own unique machine in this case a mix of both car and boat which miraculously can both ride on ground and swim on water, as well as has a rifle attached in front so he can just rapidly shoot while being at it. It also has various russian labels like “СССР” or “ФЦ 57”, pretty odd given normally that kind of stuff you’d see only in chinese LEGO rip-offs…

Jeep

There is really no narrative context with this one, he just has a jeep with which he travels across the jungle. 

Jungle Cutter

A vehicle that Indy is more than capable of taking it for himself as shown in Lego Indiana Jones 2. This vehicle is also undoubtedly his most powerful one, having saws for a weapon and having a huge stature in general. It’s more than capable of easily destroying other vehicles. 

Ark of the Covenant

(Yes, really)

Indy also managed to get some of the major treasures up his sleeve… ok technically not in canon/original story, majority of them are brought back to someone/somewhere, and or lost because of various accidents, however some treasures Indy seemed to just straight up have in his lawn, that easily yeah. Ark of the covenant is known in canon as a messenger to god, a might of which german nazis wanted to use to take over the world, in LEGO it does mostly all similar stuff, until it doesn’t! In Indiana Jones 2, aside from killing everyone it forced everyone to dance and make the closest person to it its avatar to create a giant magical form which one shots all nearby minifigures. But on top of that, Indy seemed to keep it for… grilling steaks… yeah again, that simple.

Holy Grail

(Somehow there were no sets with the Holy Grail-Hold on a sec, why is there Indy’s dad and son at the same time???)

Among other possessions LEGO Indy seemed to keep a Holy Grail… somehow, again not exactly consistent with canon but it’s LEGO they can do that kind of stuff all day. In any case, The Holy Grail is capable of healing once consumed. 

Crystal Skull

Technically the last treasure Indy got his hands on… at least in LEGO, this Crystal Skull comes from ancient city Eldorado which stored various treasures from all ancient civilizations you can think of. This skull in particular is capable of repelling animals such as spiders… somehow. Although it's not necessarily full-proof considering its unable to repel a group of spiders mushed together forming a huge mini-figure. 

Abilities 

General

LEGO Physiology

Being a LEGO Figure comes with some very… interesting benefits. Being made of plastic, all 4 here lack any actual insides/biological organs, even if they still eat food and such. This especially includes blood as LEGO is pretty much against that kind of violence and whether someone is killed or damaged they don’t really show any signs of horrific violence, at best a scar or two. Being a LEGO also means having slightly easier time recovering body parts, like how when Luke lost his hand he rather quickly replaced it with a new one, or when Harry lost his hand as a child right afterwards Hagrid managed to put it back together, or how when Robin got his head cut off he still was alive long enough to put his head back together! And finally how Henry Jones is completely fine being separated from his lower torso long enough for it to come back together. For the record their immortality isn’t a product of a unique ability they possess, rather a byproduct of just being… a lego! Therefore essentially everyone (unless shown otherwise) should have comparable immorality.

Sometimes it goes even more crazy to the degree that characters can still move or even completely recover after losing a torso or being completely separated piece by piece, like with Darth Maul or this Hogwarts’ student who was literally eaten by a coach and spit out as a cube but later reappeared completely anew. Another crazy example is, when Cedric died, Dumbledore offered an entire instruction on how to rebuild a person (though obviously in that condition a person can’t recover by himself). That’s right, you can rebuild people! There are technical outliers to the gimmick, given that in Indiana Jones we see monkey’s brain right in front of us, and even then we technically see Monkey still being sort of alive via eyes (this is also probably the goriest thing you are getting from this blog, which in itself should tell enough…). Additionally we are also being stated in Skywalker Saga for non-droird characters to be organic as well as poisonous gases still being somewhat effective, unless the character is undead or a robot, the only difference here perhaps it being more supported than the actual blood/organs given in the same Indiana Jones, Indy was poisoned just like in the original Temple of Doom plot.

Important to mention however despite unique Minifigure shenanigans all these 4 have, this doesn’t mean Minifigures can’t die, most characters that die or hurt canonically for instance will remain in such a state, which does account for Luke due to his death in The Skywalker Saga and Harry who at one point was harmed to the point of needing a potion to recover, as well as there are still majority of cases in LEGO Star Wars where characters died despite being not harmed to the lethal degree when it comes to LEGO, notably Qui-Gon Jin, Padme, Han Solo, etc. Notably Avada Kedavra seems to just ignore this rule, as despite Dumbledore’s instructions Cedric never actually returned, as well as Sirius Black and Dumbledore himself were murdered by it (Even though most of their pieces are still there lmao rip bozos). Plus if  pieces are destroyed completely they won’t be possible to be repaired anymore, such as through lava. It is also worth mentioning how nearly all the characters here are pretty much fine in space! Between the multitude of Star Wars characters, Asajj Ventress in particular with whom this phenomenon was directly noted, none of the cosmic radiation, cold temperatures, or lack of oxygen seems to affect our plastic figures. Same can go for LEGO Harry as when he flew literally out of the Earth’s orbit (yes that happened), he also didn’t seem to be affected by space’s vacuum. Batman is complicated as he needs a space suit for LEGO Batman 3 but in the Batzarro cartoon he just… doesn’t need it (He’s Batman!!!!!!). However, Indiana Jones has never even touched the atmosphere so we have no way of saying for sure if he can. 3/4 ain’t bad though.

Building Skills

It wouldn’t be a LEGO blog if we weren’t to talk about LEGO’s main gimmick - building! Practically all LEGO Minifigures in-game have skills of building anything their details allow them to, the only potential exceptions may be some specific characters like say, R2-D2 and droids of similar nature who just lack hands or supernatural abilities to connect pieces together (like say, telekinesis). 

Otherwise, while it’s not particularly reality warping or anything of that kind, whatever either of the 4 would build will be pretty much functional, it can be small machines, it can be some sort of robot, it may be adding lost details to a vehicle, it may be a weapon of sorts or it may even be a living being, as long as there are blocks and imagination they can build whatever they would like out of anything no matter what it was before it would work as long as it is made out of LEGO blocks at least, as LEGO’s possibilities are practically only limited by Builder’s (and yours) imagination. 

Hammerspace

(like, where did they even get those sunglasses from…)

Another bonus of being a LEGO Figure is how despite the lack of pockets, these fellows can effectively keep anything they need within… somewhere. Akin to some basic toon force users, LEGO characters very consistently just pull out their stuff out of nowhere, you can see it in a big variety of cutscenes or even something as basic as idle animations. It happens so often in LEGO media that at that point it’s as natural for its characters as their physiology.

LEGO Luke Skywalker

The Force

Would it’ve been an average Star Wars blog, the force alone would’ve had from 500 to over 1000 words of explanation of what it is and how it works, in LEGO case… well it’s obviously not as complicated and more simple. Just like in movies The Force is a living force that exists across all the galaxy, which Force-sensitives can use through Midi-chlorians. And despite LEGO not being so in-depth with the force in lore, its users (Luke included) still have shown to be able to perform various tricks you may be familiar from original stories, more or less.

Side Note: The footage in some sources for abilities may not show Luke himself using the force powers, however, aside from Luke being just as capable of a Jedi as every other Jedi, in games if he is placed in a situation of other stories (through Free Play for instance) he will be shown to use said abilities as well, so ultimately almost (if not) everything a Force User can do in a LEGO SW games, so can Luke. 

Telekinesis 

Pretty straightforward, Luke can use force to move objects with telekinesis, whether object is “average” or “LEGO Blocks” doesn’t matter, with said telekinesis, Luke is able to collect dozens of LEGO pieces either separately or directly from other objects (like pieces of machine or building, etc.) and build entirely new objects up to his own decision, sometimes even in relatively quick timeframe like one time his X-Wing crashed directly into Darth Vader’s Tie Advanced - right after the crash Luke quickly restored his X-Wing with the force telekinesis. 

The potency of this force telekinesis is big enough to move large sized objects or LEGO Ships, as well as just like Telekinesis in general, it can work even if objects are behind a wall impossible to reach by physical means. The potential of this telekinesis grows even far more beyond if applied against the enemy, given how both Obi-Wan and Anakin were able to casually disassemble their enemies’ ships and tanks with just the force. Luke also can use it to twist your neck, fun.

Force Push

Luke can also pretty much push objects with the force at high speeds to the point that it becomes deadly for an opponent, biggest examples perhaps being droids of the Star Wars universe.

Hacking/Tech Manipulation

Well sort of, after using force on droids, for a moment they become pretty much immobile, without any of their details being directly broken, possibly due to the affection on technology force users can inflict while using force on droids or identical technologies (which happens only if force used on droids, no similar effect happened to living/”biological” beings). Along with that Force users are also just shown to manipulate other technologies without heavy involvement of telekinesis like controlling lights of technologies for instance + Luke’s version in the new galaxy (a bit more on that later btw) managed to mess with the racing pod during the race by using the Force.

Force Choke

Wait, isn’t that’s sith ability? Yes, it is, still Luke just like in Return of the Jedi has shown to use this ability on these living guardian pigs of Jabba Hutt, choking you hard enough until you die.  

Force Explosion

Without any explanation, Force users can just… explode objects, quite weird things yeah, and pretty consistent no matter the size, it can be a big metallic box, large rocks, plants and more, force users just explode them, because they can…is there an identical thing in canon? Well, not really, the closest you guys probably will get is Combustion which was found in the Luke vs Saber blog. 

Double Jump

Well, yeah, much like the well-known Force Jump, force users have much better jumping capabilities comparable to average people, in this case force users can do double jumps to jump further and higher… still somehow lower jump than Jar Jar Binks’ for some reason. This carries on to Luke in Skywalker Saga where now he can even do double jumps before Force training. 

Affect Mind

Force users can also affect minds of the opponent, either by doing actual mind manipulation and convincing them to do everything that force user pleases, or just to confuse the opponent for a moment, making them pretty much immobile and unable to defend from anything that can be thrown right after. Luke did show to use this ability himself within the story as well. 

This is even further used in LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga, where all Force Users can easily mind affect all LEGO Minifigures in Star Wars’ Galaxy whether it be people or giant animals, they even get to choose whether they force them to dance as a distraction method, make them panic in fear, or directly control anything that they can do, as well as even using some of characters’ own unique abilities through them.

Attack Reflection 

While it isn’t Tutaminis kind of reflection, and probably rather a mix of telekinesis and such, still, force users like Vader have shown to just reflect thrown blast away even after it made contact with him, pretty much reflecting thrown projectile at him, Luke and other force users should do the same as they can also do it whether object is thrown at them like shown above.

Force Projection

Luke can also basically create an illusory doppelganger of himself, transmitting through the Force across long distances. This technique requires focus and concentration from the force user, as The Jedi pours their living force, allowing them to create a simulacrum of themselves and small objects over distances of several light-years. As such Luke can’t maintain this projection for too long if pushed to his limits, only a few minutes, any longer would basically cost Luke a life, as it did in canon. However given the aforementioned extreme conditions Luke had to go through while using this ability (maintaining form for minutes in a several light years distance), it’s possible for it to be easier to do at closer distances.

Force Ghost 

Just like in original Star Wars canon Force Ghosts usually appear to help when the most necessary, they are just like ghosts, undead and intangible. But more importantly these Force Ghosts actually have shown to be able to still fight with Lightsaber and use their force abilities even while being just a ghost (this is a year or more before Star Wars Unleashed had utilized this idea btw). Luke also was able to exist as a Force Ghost in the Skywalker Saga and not only managed to interact with objects but even used the force by himself. The idea extends further in LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation, where Force Ghost minifigures pretty much continued to live their lives and do whatever they want to just as ghosts now, like how Force Ghost Anakin was just Scuba Diving. Yeah guess they just lived on.

LEGO Batman

Swapping

While in Lego Batman 1 and 2, Batman needed to build some… “thingamabobs” to swap between his suits. In Lego Batman 3 this is simply not the case anymore as just by willingly he can swap to any of his suits without a problem as demonstrated in the example above.

Bat Form & Bat Summoning

Upon being controlled by Brainiac, Batman became hostile against Robin and Aflred. As his last resort to get them off his back he does this. As showcased, Batman is capable of summoning an innumerable amount of Bats all which form around him creating a mech-like construction acting like armor. Besides greatly amplifying his appearance, his strength is also amplified considering he’s strong enough to one-shot Robin (Tim Drake) despite being in the same weight class. He can even use his breath as an attack! However this form isn’t without fault as it does have a glaring weakness, light. Once a bright enough light is shined toward Batman the bats separate, opening up Batman to harm. Despite this glaring weakness Batman is more than capable of reforming this form.

Nevertheless Batman has actually utilized bats in combat before. Using them as a simple distraction. It even worked on Superman!

The Forbidden Move

A unique ability Batman learns from Madame Mantis. Despite being titled the “Forbidden Move” it actually doesn’t kill the opponent but rather splits their body into pieces, however life will still remain intact in the individual. Batman is capable of performing this via focusing all of his chi into his hand and throwing it at the unfortunate victim that it comes across. 

Resistances

• Mind Manipulation: During the events of Lego Batman 2, Joker uses a type of gas which is stated to be mind-altering in which he used it to secure votes for Lex Luthor (because he wants to become president!). Despite this Batman is completely unaffected by this mind-altering gas. During Lego Batman 3 while Batman was at first affected by Brainiac mind-based capabilities he later outright breaks out of it. 

• Ice Manipulation: During his battle with Mr. Freeze in Lego Batman 1, Batman has repeatedly showcased being able to break out of Mr. Freeze ice. 

• Electricity Manipulation: See Electricity Suit

• Heat Manipulation: See Heat Protection Suit

LEGO Harry Potter

Magic

Harry has access to a variety of spells which he learns throughout the games. Worth establishing here is that, unlike the canon Potterverse where casting spells without saying them requires a good deal of skill, LEGO Wizards seem to be able to cast their spells whenever they want with no need for speaking, though whether or not that’s simply down to the games lacking voice acting is a bit unclear. 

Side Note: There are certain spells Harry can’t do in gameplay but are canonically used by him, most commonly through a cutscene, these spells will also be mentioned as Harry in theory can still use them in combat. Spells and/or powers that Harry can’t use by himself or are something that belongs to other people will be mentioned through the Polyjuice Potion section of powers via similar reasoning as with the arsenal.

Wingardium Leviosa

A very well known Spell that Harry uses to levitate objects into place all with the help of his wand. With a use of this spell Harry can also telekinetically build new objects to help himself. as a matter of fact, Harry is very creative with Wingardium Leviosa as not only he can build objects, some of the stuff he builds pretty much comes alive and  helps him, or he uses it to create himself new sorts of transport, the possibilities are limited practically only by Harry’s own creativity and amount of nearby objects. 

Accio

This is a specific spell that is used similarly to Wingardium Leviosa, except instead of telekinetically moving objects the point behind this spell is to move objects specifically to yourself. So long as the caster has it clearly in mind, they should be able to summon it with ease to themselves (as shown in the ERB example above). This is one of the spells/magic powers not requiring wands, so it can actually help Harry if he, for instance, will be disarmed from his own wand.

Flipendo

With this spell, Harry can knock his opponent backwards, making them fall…well, backwards. It does not particularly damage you much, but it leaves Harry with plenty of time to do more until his foe will stand up again. 

Trip Jinx

Pretty simple spell, makes you trip and fall over…yeah it’s that simple.

Rictusempra 

This spell now causes the opponent to uncontrollably laugh by tickling them from the inside, weakening for the next blow. 

Tarantallegra

This spell Harry uses to forcefully make his foe dance without a control. It works on both living people and inanimate objects. 

Lumos Solem

A spell that can make a bright flash of light or simply act as a flashlight for dark areas. This spell can emit a light so powerful that it can also pretty much tame if not kill plants against which this spell is used.

Immobulus

A spell that can freeze and stop the actions of the target. It can work not just on living creatures, such as a Whopping Willow, but inanimate objects too, such as the electronic burglar alarms found in Muggle Houses. 

Stupefy

As the name implies this spell literally makes whoever Harry casts it at stupid. For a temporary time, the opponent will just have stars around feeling dizzy. 

Sleeping spell

Separately in one of the LEGO Creator games Harry can cast a spell that temporarily forces his opponent to sleep. After the spell is casted, the person on whom it was used will fall asleep for briefly 20 seconds, long enough to be open for whatever Harry decides to do next. 

Locomotor Mortis

This spell in particular binds the victim’s legs together, stopping them from moving normally. 

Glacius

With this spell Harry can cover his opponent in a large block of ice, completely immobilizing them. Pretty simple as that.

Expecto Patronum

A spell fueled by positive emotions that summons a very bright spiritual guardian to ward off corporeal or incorporeal foes. Harry takes the form of a deer, and he has used it to ward off Dementors and Boggarts. 

Expelliarmus

A spell that simply forces the target to drop whatever item they’re holding. Practically forcing foe to lose their weapon and leaving them defenseless for whatever Harry may decide to do next. However despite its purpose being that even in canon Potterverse characters are used to simply yeet their opponents (as seen above), how is it connected to disarming? Hell if we know, it just works like that.

Parseltongue (and Debatably, Serpensortia)

In the same duel Harry also has shown to be able to communicate with snakes, in canon he kinda does it ever since childhood while in LEGO we see him doing first in duel and later on whenever he talks to Slytherin doors to open them. But overall this ability allows him to communicate with snakes and use them for help. 

Serpensortia meanwhile is an ability to summon snakes from the tip of your wand, however we only see Malfoy to utilize this spell in a single cutscene from which it is unlikely Harry knows it by himself and only debatably can be utilized by Harry using Polyjuice Potion and turning into Malfoy.

Riddikulus

A spell that can be used to fend off Boggarts. For the spell to work on them, Harry must think of something funny, which the Boggart will take the form of, rendering them powerless as they feed off fear.

Slugulus Erecto

The moment Harry casts this spell upon his foe, the foe in question will start uncontrollably throwing up a slug, it can last for a pretty long amount of time without any sort of treatment.

Smell Spell

This is one of the LEGO specific spells as we couldn’t find any mentions of spells like that one in canon. This spell can basically change the smell of surroundings as the visual shows by simply shooting a projectile.

Transfiguration

A spell that can change the appearance of people, animals or objects, turning inanimate things alive and vice versa. This is perhaps one of the most used spells in LEGO’s Wizarding World, in one way or another. Whenever Harry interacts with objects via his spells he can somewhat affect them to an extent, perhaps one of the weirdest examples would be him turning what it seems like an average cart into an entire near building sized set with just a single blast from his wand. It gets even more intense as we can see this kind of spell working on living beings as well, like how in this example Harry managed to magically turn Draco into a frog. Some spells below already bring examples of more transfiguration variants Harry can offer.

Multicorfors 

This is one more form of transfiguration with which Harry can directly change the outfit that you are wearing with a single projectile.

Entomorphis

This is yet another form of transfiguration with which Harry can induce insect-like qualities upon the victim for a short period of time. With these qualities a person also acts like an insect. 

Colovaria

This spell causes the opponent to change their color, whether it be of a hair, clothes, eyes…in LEGO it is mostly hair though. And not just any hair, GINGER, you are now ginger, he is now ginger and she is now ginger, all are now ginger! 

Calvorio

Hair loss spell. That’s pretty much it, it curses its victims with a hair loss. Yikes.

Herbifors

With this spell Harry replaces the opponent's hair with flowers. As if hair loss wasn’t cruel enough.

Anteoculatia

This spell causes you to grow antlers on your head. You know, these deer’s branched horns that are made out of bones. Yeah that, growing on your head.

Incarcerous

This spell creates thick ropes from thin air, holding the opponent tight. Some may use it in more brutal ways like holding the opponent's neck, but Harry usually targets the torso.

Reducto

A spell that's used to fully shatter solid objects to bits, or in Lego Harry Potter terms, break the big shiny silver objects which normally are unbreakable. The projectiles from this spell are so powerful that they cause decently big explosions in the areas.

Redactum Skullus

This particular spell Harry uses to shrink his opponent’s head along with surrounding tissue.

Engorgio Skullus

The opposite of the aforementioned spell, instead of shrinking a foe's head, Harry will massively increase it to such a degree that it’d be impossible to stand on your own with a head this big.

Apparition

As one might guess it is the ability to teleport yourself somewhere else, this is accomplished by having the user focus on a desired location in their mind and then purposely disappearing from where they were, to reappear at the desired location. Though visually it appears as if Harry is flying away, it is overall practically instant just like average teleport is.

Protego

A spell that allows Harry to make a forcefield around himself to protect himself from attacks, magical or physical. More commonly Harry uses them in duels but they are practical in full on combat as well, reflecting projectiles and blocking close ranged attacks.

Aguamenti

A spell that allows Harry to fire off water to fill up containers or put out fires. Harry can also use it to grow plants or just to forcefully trip opponents as water fires off at very high speeds, which as you can see how Ron accidentally used it in his example.

Legilimens

With this spell, Harry can directly get into the memories of the victim of his choosing. For instance with that spell Harry managed to directly find out about Severus Snape’s past. Though this spell also can somewhat read a person's mind as with it Harry can see what the person wants on his hands to use.

Diffindo

This is quite a complicated spell as despite it existing in canon, the LEGO version goes much more different. In canon potterverse this is a spell that precisely cuts objects and is particularly used for clothing. However in LEGO potterverse, it goes a little more wild. While the spell practically is only used to destroy anything red, it also is capable of cutting red walls (even if it was suddenly painted red). But it doesn’t end there as Harry not only “cuts” red walls but also precisely draws what is being cut in them, which in turn results in giving him details to build exactly what he’s been drawing. For instance, shall Harry draw a ladder, he will get details to build himself a ladder, shall Harry draw clocks he’ll get details for a clock, shall Harry draw a Torch he will get himself a flaming torch. Examples go on and on, at which point you get the idea here.

Sectumsempra

While never directly spelt out or used in gameplay in one of the cutscenes against Draco Malfoy, Harry got to use this curse invented by Severus Snape, in canon it lacerated the target and caused severe bleeding, in LEGO it is both less and more brutal at the same time. Less because as mentioned before due to being LEGO there is no blood, more because when Harry uses it in Draco he isn’t just injured, but rather his entire torso is separated from his legs as if he was cut in half like Darth Maul.

Avada Kedavra

(Yes, really)

The darkest spell in all of the wizarding world, and perhaps the most popular one, not without a reason, in canon it is used by dark mages so much as if it is the only spell they ever learned, but at the same time, why do you need to know more than that? When with just a single blast from this spell you can instantly kill your opponent. Not even being made out of LEGO saves here as previously been pointed out, despite being made out of LEGO and having body parts intact, Avada Kedavra still killed people like Dumbledore, Cedric, Severus and Sirius. We never see Harry specifically using this spell in canon but in LEGO with Polyjuice Potion in hand Harry can turn himself into any of the dark mages of his world, who in turn know and use Avada Kedavra making him technically able to actually use this spell.

Non-Physical Interaction

Within the games, Harry has shown to affect actual ghosts with his spells, like Myrtle Warren (who you see above) for instance, who was directly damaged when Harry was shooting spells at her (also during Year 7, Harry literally just kissed ghost’s cheeks. No punch line, he just does it easy like that). 

Resistances

• Mind Manipulation: Via the spell Occlumency, Harry was able to fend off the influence of Voldemort, given the fact he was a Horcrux of the dark lord. Additionally he was trained by Severus Snape to defend from possible mental affecting spells.

• Ice Manipulation: Dementors and other Wizards (obviously including Harry) are capable of freezing their foes. Harry is able to break out of the ice he is covered in after some time.

LEGO Indiana Jones

Resistance

• Limited Poison Manipulation: In Shanghai Showdown, Indy and a server were poisoned. While the server ultimately succumbed to the poison, Indy didn’t. However he was extremely limited in what he was capable of doing.

Scaling

LEGO Luke Skywalker

Jedis and Siths

It shouldn’t be surprising really, Luke is one of the most talented Jedis in all of Star Wars, both generally and in the context of LEGO, and therefore it doesn’t takes too much to say that he is as capable as every LEGO Force User, especially when in-game he can perform pretty much everything other Jedis can do, as well as the events of LEGO Star Wars for the most part follow original Star Wars stories, such as when Luke defeated Vader and Palpatine who in turn fought various Jedis. Therefore it makes sense for Luke to scale based on both in-game performance and the actual story, this leads Luke to scale to various Force User feats such as:

• Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn were able to lift Naboo N-1 Starfighter and even somehow make it move by itself

• Anakin Skywalker managed to win the pod race while racing on a high speed pods (263 m/s)

• Mace Windu casually deflecting droid’s lasers

• Yoda was able to lift an ARC-170 Starfighter off the water.

• Yoda also was able to hold back a big amount of stone to prevent it from falling onto him.

• Yoda was able to deflect Palpatine’s lightning.

• Yoda and Palpatine throw the senate at each other.

• Obi-Wan and Yoda were able to lift giant planet models made entirely from stone (264.6 Metric Tons)

• Somehow Sheev Palpatine survived the fall in the Death Star 2 and managed to climb back in literal seconds (only to be sent back by Vader)

• Darth Vader instantly rebuilt the entire Jawa’s Sandcrawler into a playing field by a wave of his hands

• Sig by using his Force Telekinesis managed to lift an entire stone Jedi Temple

• Darth Vader tanked his TIE-Fighter crush into a Darth Star (aka Death Star 2 rebuilt by Darth Maul, just having his face instead), causing it to explode, while simultaneously tanking said explosion (80.09 Teratons of TNT - 8.58 Petatons of TNT)

• Luke’s counterpart from the New Galaxy, with the Force, along with the council of Jedis (that includes: Jedi Dooku, Jedi Palpatine, Jedi Vader, Jedi Jabba Hutt, etc.) was able to hold back from the Cornerstone’s deconstructive power.

• The Cornerstone can rewrite planets, bleak stars out of the existence and even rebuild the entire galaxy/universe as this brick holds space & time (Planet-Star level, debatably up to Universal and higher, for more in depth explanation on what is this, see Before the Verdict)

Miscellaneous Characters - Bounty Hunters, Troops, Smugglers, Creatures, etc.

Practically more obvious, from droids to clones, from stormtroopers to rebels, from common citizens to bounty hunters and from Wookies to Wampas, LEGO Star Wars had plenty of action all around, so it’s no wonder that force users are not alone who perform interesting feats, scaling Luke and other force users should be no problem as often Luke at bare least demonstrated as comparable if not stronger being. This includes scaling to various feats such as:

• Multiple of various minifigures exploding objects by punching them

• Clones tanking rockets’ explosions

• A random Stormstrooper tanking Death Star explosion (21.32 Teratons of TNT - 4.95 Petatons of TNT)

• Twice

• Multiple random Stormtroopers tanking Death Star 2 explosion and surviving the fall (80.09 Teratons of TNT - 8.58 Petatons of TNT)

• Twice

• Thrice even

• Han Solo exploded the Stormtrooper into pieces by shooting him from his blaster once.

• Boba Fett and Jar Jar Binks also tanking Death Star explosion (21.32 Teratons of TNT - 4.95 Petatons of TNT)

• Two Porgs also directly tank Death Star explosion (21.32 Teratons of TNT - 4.95 Petatons of TNT)

• Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader’s Fangirls also tanking Darth Star explosion alongside Vader in aforementioned feat

• Wampa throwing Jar Jar Binks from Hoth to Tatooine (28,293.59 c, debatably up to 267 billions c)

LEGO Batman

Justice League

While Batman in most of his iterations is always portrayed as the lone wolf when it comes to physical prowess, in the LEGO DC Universe this is simply not the case. He is always with the Justice League fighting some of the more tougher criminals even with sometimes no physical amplifying equipment or suit! (For a more in depth analysis on why Batman scales to the members of the Justice League, as well as to which ones in particular, see before the verdicts)

• As his mentor anything Robin and other member of Batfamily (Nightwing, Batgirl, etc.) can do or survive, Batman can do or endure as well

• Robin (Tim Drake) survives this crash 

• Robin (Damian Wayne) survives an elevator crash

• Members of the Batfamily tanks this laser beam

• Sinestro, who’s aware of Batman existence, referred Cyborg as the weakest member of Justice League thus anything Cyborg can do or endure so can Batman

• Cyborg destroys crates in his battle against Grundy

• Cyborg forcefield is capable of defending him attacks from Sinestro 

• Batman can physically harm Sinestro in LEGO Batman 2 and Larfleeze in LEGO Batman 3 all whom fought Hal Jordan

• Hal Jordan throws a bunch of UFOs so hard that he creates an explosion (721.8 Teratons of TNT) 

Rogue Gallery

Just like how in many of his different iterations where he can fight his rogue gallery and scale to them, his LEGO variation is no different. He constantly fights them and always comes out on top. Showing almost no sign of physical struggle. While a few outliers may exist, such as the Bane boss fight in the Lego Batman 1 DS port, these are the exceptions and not the rule. He should regardless scale to his rogue gallery and at worse some of his machinations undoubtedly should. 

• Mr Freeze manages to create a huge wall of ice

• Scarecrow and Joker survive colliding their aerial vehicles into each other

• Harley destroys a statue

• Scarecrow survives his plane being shot down

• Harley dodges Darkseid omega beams

• LEGO Brainiac is physically weak and relies on machinations to keep up with other heroes including LEGO Batman who’s physically superior to him. LEGO Batman would thus scale to any feats he has performed.

• Brainiac survives a crash

• Brainiac survives the expansion of Earth (6.89 Kilotons of TNT) 

• LEGO Batman (dressed as Joker) is capable of fighting against LEGO Larfleeze and LEGO Sinestro

• Larfleeze and Sinestro were one of the few lanterns chosen by Brainiac to shrink the Earth. They later enlarge it (along with other lanterns) during the end of the game. (Inapplicable; See before the verdicts)

• Batman pilots the Bat-Mech which was created specifically to contend with LEGO Gorilla Grodd. As such any impressive feats LEGO Gorilla Grodd performs the Bat-Mech would thus scale.

• Gorilla Grodd throws a boulder far enough to exit the atmosphere which then returns 

• Gorilla Grodd is one of the few individuals to be able to harm Darkseid whom at the time was amplified by the anti-life equation

• The anti-life equation is stated to be capable of making the user control any planet they please, even possibly the universe. Darkseid even states the universe should be his if he were to ever acquire the anti-life equation. Wonder Woman expresses that the whole universe is in danger if the anti-life equation were in his hand. Lois Lane states that it would be ‘game over’ for the Earth and the universe if Darkseid acquires the anti-life equation. Once Darkseid finally acquired the anti-life equation Hal Jordan states the universe would fall. (Inapplicable; See before the verdicts) 

LEGO Harry Potter

Wizards and Witches

Relatively straightforward, throughout the story, Harry managed to be on par with several witches and wizards of the wizarding world. Even against big bad Voldemort himself he at the end of the story managed to overpower his magic (who in turn not only is the most threatening wizard, but also has used The Elder Wand, which is the most powerful wand in the wizarding world). This means that any other spells and its users, Harry should be at least equal to. This includes a variety of feats, such as:

• Dolores Umbridge breaking down a good amount of stone wall with her magic

• Dolorse Umbridge continuously dodging and reflecting arrows

• Peter Pedegrew causing this explosion with his spell

• A bunch of evil wizards causing this explosion

• As well as breaking down this metallic bridge

• Same evil wizards destroying Weasley’s house

• Lord Voldemort with the most powerful wand was able to create this storm (0.1 - 37.34 Tons of TNT)

LEGO Indiana Jones

Allies and Enemies 

Pretty simple as well, Indy in his various adventures is one of the more physically capable in comparison to the majority of the characters, and at bare least he has shown to fight on par with all of the antagonists of his series. This means that Indy should be comparable to feats done by any of his foes or allies, which includes various feats such as:

• A nazi survives a fall

• Marion survives a fall

• Some goons survive being launched like pretty far away

• Another set of goons survive a car crash

• Yet another random goon can deflect bullets

Weaknesses

LEGO Luke Skywalker

(Oops, he’s dead…)

Despite being a hero of the Far Far Away Galaxy, Luke isn’t perfect by all accounts. For instance his mind tricks that he uses are not necessarily perfect as they don’t work on every person, especially with a strong will, as well as have limits in terms of range. His Force Projection technique if overused can cost him his life, as much as overuse of force in general in way too prolonged usages wastes his stamina. And he himself due to his LEGO origins, so to speak, may be more comedic/non serious to his original counterpart, this is not to say he is cartoonishly incompetent, but rather to the fact that it may take some little but time for him to use the force powers at their full on offensive potential.

LEGO Batman

(Oops, also dead…)

Just like most of his iterations, Batman is heavily reliant on his weapons and vehicles. Without them he definitely isn’t putting up much of a fight against extremely strong opponents such as Darkseid. And his vehicles especially can be destroyed; they aren’t invincible after all. And while he can simply rebuild them, this takes precious time, time he can’t waste especially in a fight where he has so much to lose. 

LEGO Harry Potter

(Not even boy who lived could live being left among non built pieces)

Just like his main counterpart, Harry needs his glasses to see properly, as without him, he’s as blind as a bat. It is also worth mentioning that while Harry’s magic is versatile it still requires him using his wand for majority of the time, which if not being careful he can be disarmed from. Even though there are other items up his sleeve, he doesn’t become as threatening without magic. Especially given that Harry is no good in direct physical combat, and didn’t have situations where he had to physically fight against his opponent, making him solely a ranged player.

LEGO Indiana Jones

(Man, actually who left all of them unbuilt like that?)

Not even the greatest adventurists have no weaknesses, and Indy is no exception. Perhaps the most notable and directly damaging to him in both story and gameplay is his fear of snakes, if in the original it doesn’t affect his productivity entirely in LEGO the man literally jumps back the moment he sees one and is overall kinda helpless against them, unless he finds a way to remove them. 

Before the Verdict…

LEGO Luke Skywalker

Wait, they scale to the Death Star???

Alright let’s clear this one up real quick. Death Star is a very iconic, no, one of the most iconic things in the both Star Wars franchise and as an overall LEGO set, so it’s only natural it’ll bring something powerful with itself, in context of LEGOs, well, how do we put it… Normally LEGO don’t want their characters to die on screen, kinda like with cartoon characters, they can tank whatever and still either not be damaged or have damage minimized as far as possible, you can see it a lot in their games, they’re sorta like minor toons, it is a children’s material after all. Hell as you might have noticed previously even when LEGOs “die” they don’t exactly die full on until it is a plot point, as some can rebuild themselves after damage that may look lethal or worse.

Now, the point is, while no one tanked Death Star exploding planets on screen (sometimes we may not even see Death Star exploding planets on screen), we do see, quite a lot of characters to say the least, survive Death Star’s explosions. In an insanely consistent manner, This Random Stormtrooper, Jar Jar and Boba, Vader and Fangirls, Several Stormtroopers again, Stormtrooper again, Several Stormtroopers again alongside Luke, AVERAGE PORGS???  For that matter, an event/gag like that is just way, waaaaay too consistent to be ignored, and therefore should be viable. It’s that blatant. 

Now while it is LEGO Death Star, relatively speaking its size should be as much as in canon, which the only time sizes actually differ is between Canon’s Death Star 2 size and EU’s Death Star 2 size (EU Death Star sizes are 120 kilometers in diameter for the first Death Star and 160 kilometers in diameter for the second Death Star, while for Disney Canon, it is 160 kilometers in diameter for the first Death Star, and 200 kilometers in diameter for second Death Star). Ironically if we apply sizes from Canon DS2, results actually will be higher than with EU, and given that despite Legends somewhat simultaneously co-existing with Disney Canon (though slowly fading away from marketing obviously), Canon should be technically a more accurate choice, however on top of all that. LEGO itself made a decision on Death Star’s sizes thanks to the Skywalker Saga:

“The Death Star is over 160 kilometers wide and can hold millions of Imperial personnel.”

From here it’s reasonable to come to the conclusion that Disney canon Star Wars size (and by proxy, higher ends of Death Star’s explosions) is more appropriate to use.

What the hell is the Cornerstone and how can it make Luke up to Galaxy/Uni???

Alright so, this is entirely new information, given the show in question came out basically only during autumn, and therefore is the one that has been looked up the least, so you guys probably would need a lot more elaboration. From starters what does this all come from? Recently there was an entire new pretty short series - LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, it even has some of the sets made dedicated to this series. But what is this? Is that, White Vader with Jedi Sheev Palpatine, Jabba and Count Dooku? Darth Jar Jar Binks? ”Landolord” and Evil Baby Yoda? Ewok & C-3PO as bounty hunters? If you watch from the trailers you can see that basically everything here is like a blanket turned from inside out. To the point that roles of pretty much almost everything changed, Hoth now is a lava planet, AT-ATs now are Rebel’s tanks, Tatooine now instead of being full of sand is full of water and so much more. But why did it change? Was it a parallel universe that our Star Wars heroes accidentally went in? Did someone time travel back in time and change major events? No to both, answer to everything lies in one brick - The Cornerstone. But to elaborate on it a bit more let’s go to one of the first Jedis (or in the Star Wars universe they may also be called, Force Builders) - Bob…

Yeah, him, just in completely another role:

Straight outta set 7163 he was here the entire time…

Or by his official name now, Bobarian Afol, but we’re gonna call him just Jedi Bob, given the very self-explanatory reference. So, before there was a Star Wars galaxy as we know it, from I to IX, there was another galaxy, with another forcebuilders, that history hides from us. Jedi Bob was searching for power and decided to seek The Cornerstone, a powerful artifact that was made to hold the fabric of the galaxy together (and in wrong hands can break said fabric) that has power to rewrite planets, erase stars from existence and even rebuild the entire galaxy/universe. When Jedi Bob found The Cornerstone, he removed it, causing an entire universe to change, to rebuild itself, given that without The Cornerstone there was nothing to hold Space & Time with, it collapsed, this time becoming a Star Wars galaxy we all know and love. Bob left Cornerstone to be protected in the new temple, but not for long, as soon as accidentally another forcebuilder, Sig, finds and removes the Cornerstone, causing Space & Time to collapse again, and causing the galaxy to rebuild itself once more. 

Now one of your thoughts would be “if it's universal why does it refer every time as affecting a Galaxy, not a Universe???”, this question is reasonable after all there is no direct reference of it specifically affecting Universe and not Galaxy, and well, it is in the title, “Rebuild the Galaxy”. However “Galaxy” in this context is most likely a phrasing choice, after all Star Wars’ entire gimmick is to be “A galaxy far far away…”, while the statements and the first feat itself that we see being performed, reaches scopes beyond it, with its holding and destroying the fabric of the “galaxy” as well as holding the entirety of Space & Time, while the rebuilding itself very noticeably goes beyond just The Galaxy of Star Wars’ Universe. And not just how planets and stars are built but the stories and people themselves, everyone in the New Galaxy are people with completely new identities, new memories, who live in a new galaxy as if it always was like that, given there are no mention for it to be something like a mind control, it most likely rewrote not just “space”, but also “time”, which stays consistent with the fact that Cornerstone is used to hold both Space and Time and with its disconnection from the temple, both of these aspect gain massive changes. As well as we are directly seeing multiple events from different points in time to be affected. Which overall would make this artifact go into a scope likely beyond galactical, perhaps universal or even higher if you wanna apply some sort of dimensional tiering into it, which at least in context of this blog we won’t do. Long story short, it is a powerful artifact with an enormous potential, power of which is at minimum Planetary and at maximum reaches galactical/universal level of power if not higher, so was there anyone to compete with its might? Yes and no, first off let’s go back to our Luke and just answer how he would scale if this is a completely new galaxy. The answer lies in…Luke! Just from a new galaxy now. 

To clarify a bit, while meanings did change all around, Force powers remained the same, so it’s reasonable to say Forcebuilders from the original galaxy are just as strong as the ones from the new one, they should carry the same potential all in all, Jedi Bob and Sig are Jedis/Forcebuilders from older galaxies and had the same power set and were just as strong so it’s a reasonable comparison. Now what is with this “new” Luke? Well, as a full character he didn’t change entirely, he still actually remained on the good side and remained some of his positive traits, it’s just compared to our Luke, he really is a lot more incompetent and acts closer to Han Solo (who in the new galaxy turns out to be a snitch) as a character, for most of his life Luke was getting money through pod races by cheating on them while secretly using force abilities. Needless to say, this Luke went through less training and most likely isn’t as strong of a forcebuilder as our Luke, making our Luke be capable of not only basically scaling to other forcebuilders, but also pretty much upscaling less competent himself, at least in terms of skill behind using The Force. And here where it becomes the most interesting, The Cornerstone which as mentioned can rebuild planets, erase stars and is capable of causing such stuff on, at worst, galactic scale, was also used to instantly destroy Rebel’s ships among which there was also Jedi’s own ship. This new galaxy’s Jedi council was using all of their force to hold back its power from destroying their ship. This includes…this universe’s own Luke. 

But obviously they had to use all of their power and it required several Jedis to hold it back, and they couldn’t do it forever, so best case scenario Luke should strongly downscale The Cornerstone in terms of power, however there are some other details that may left unknown such as whether The Cornerstone was used at full capacity, or how its power transfers, etc. There is certainly a worthy discussion in regards to it, and definitely potential for it to give high scaling, but whether this sort of scaling is considered as viable we’re gonna leave up to you, but also briefly consider it within the verdict.

LEGO Batman

Elaborating on LEGO DC’s own scaling chain and own high-tier characters.

Undoubtedly the most controversial part of this blog so far. In most, if not all interpretations of Batman and the Justice League, Batman does not at all physically scale to the Lantern Corps or most of the higher tiers of the Justice League. However in the LEGO DC Universe this is simply not the case. There’s surprisingly a good amount of evidence of Batman physically scaling to some of the top tiers of the LEGO DC Universe. Starting with the most damning one being Batman (in his damn joker outfit) being physically capable of harming Larfleeze as well as capable of tanking his punches. Larfleeze is shown to be capable of holding his own with Hal Jordan as well as being one of the lanterns Brainiac chose to shrink the earth. But wait there’s more! Batman is capable of one-shotting Sinestro’s constructs, we later see that Sinestro’s constructs are capable of overpowering Hal Jordan albeit for a brief moment. In Lego Batman 2 Batman himself is even capable of fighting Sinestro, the same Sinestro who can hold his own against Hal Jordan. And no this isn’t necessarily a game mechanic, Traveller's Tales is more than capable of expressing to the player if Batman is capable of fighting an opponent or not (for example they would have made Sinestro invincible to Batman if he was truly out of Batman’s league). There’s even more supporting evidence such as Batman capable of fighting the Red Lantern Corps and the “Orange Lantern Corps” (which are actually constructs created by Larfleeze, because if you know his lore or at least read another blog that has Larfleeze in it, you will understand the reason. Read that blog, btw, it’s very good!). 

“Can’t you easily dismiss this as an outlier or that it doesn’t narratively make sense?”

Not necessarily. Surprisingly Batman being capable of harming and defending himself from the lanterns doesn’t break the narrative at all. Other individuals such as Grundy and Cyborg, who are in the same weight class as Batman, are capable of matching the lanterns. 

For example despite Sinestro insulting Cyborg stating he is out of his league, even though ironically Cyborg is in fact capable of defending himself from Sinestro attacks. Cyborg even overpowers Grundy, the same Grundy who overpowered Sinestro and Atrocitus. Pretty blatant you don’t have to be a lantern to scale to the lanterns. 

Now there is one person scaling to whom is practically impossible for Batman to scale at any rate. That being The Man of Steel himself as you could’ve figured out. The thing is, Clark in LEGO games is simply

Aside from his obvious weaknesses, it is impossible for Batman to actually harm him or other characters who are in Super tier like Zod, and within the narrative there was no implication for Batman being close in terms of strength to Clark, that raises the next question.

“So wait if Batman doesn’t scale to Superman doesn’t this disprove him scaling to Hal Jordan?”

Now you might be asking if Bruce is comparable in strength to characters like Hal Jordan who in usual scenarios are comparable to Superman, how come Batman is unable to harm Superman? Well let us raise the question to the question, who said they can harm Superman as well? That’s right, Superman not only is impossible to be harmed by Batman and your average LEGOfied Street tier but is actually invincible to anyone in the upper tier in the LEGO DC universe. This essentially means that there is an actual “power scaling hierarchy” in LEGO’s DC universe with Superman being at the very top, only a small few could say they scale to Superman  (Such as Ultraman for example but the Lanterns aren’t one of them). 

So, about Brainiac shrinking the planet…

Now that we established scaling we can notice some more feats missing that aren’t out of pocket for Bruce to scale. Why is there no mention of them? Well let’s talk about each briefly, starting with Brainiac. In LEGO Batman 3 his plan was essentially to shrink Earth while using each prominent Lantern user as a source of power. So are there problems with it? Well, there are several to list, for one scaling to this feat is generally more tricky given to perform it Brainiac needed several lanterns with their power source rather than Lanterns on average, for two you can’t really derive energy from shrinking something, identically to problems freezing calculations may have, it's not the energy you are outputting but rather energy that is being removed, because of the mass being reduced. At best it provides that shrink ray has planetary range and should be treated more as a hax rather than outputable energy. It is also important to consider the first point, due to the fact that not only scaling Batman to the power of several Lanterns may be much more complex task compared to just one, but also the fact that their power focused on the krystal actually damaged and made Superman exhaust makes it heavily questionable if Bruce could hold that much of power. To summarize the problems generally are:

1. Shrinking feats generally are likely impossible to calculate.

2. Batman scaling to the feat is a lot more questionable given both focus of several Lanterns and much more struggle on Superman’s end.

Is Darkseid Universal???!!?

In Lego DC Super-Villains we are finally introduced to the enemy, Darkseid! And the item, the Anti-Life equation. As stated in the scaling section for Batman, the Anti-Life equation seems to be a universal threat, as it is stated time and time again to be a threat to the universe if it were ever in Darkseid’s hands. And Batman has a way to scale via the Bat-Mech so what's wrong?

Simple. It’s way too vague and in general it's an extremely generous assumption. There’s no method on how Darkseid would do such a thing (is it via destruction? physical or hax? or does a method even exist at all?). It could be through a chain reaction for all we know. Second, pay close attention to what Cyborg, one of the most intelligent beings in the LEGO DC universe, states, “The Anti-Life Equation is super powerful. Anyone who learns it would be able to control any planet they choose. Perhaps even the entire universe”. Ignoring the fact that even Cyborg is unsure if it’ll affect the universe, at best this seems to be actually talking about range, not destructive capabilities. 

Third, there’s a huge illogical problem. Darkseid actually succeeds in acquiring the Anti-Life Equation and what do you know the universe isn’t destroyed. Darksied, while he’s arrogant, isn’t an idiot. If he has the ability to destroy the universe then why didn’t he when he had the chance? Perhaps… Darkseid isn’t capable of such a thing in the first place. 

LEGO DC and Cosmic Treadmills

Surprisingly one could argue LEGO Batman has immeasurable reaction speed via the cosmic treadmill, although let's back up for a bit and give some context. In Justice League – Cosmic Clash Brainiac realized he was no match for the Justice League and thus went the cowardly way out and BFR some of the members to the past and future. Only members that weren’t BFR were Flash, Cyborg, and of course Batman himself. Realizing they need the rest of Justice League members to defeat Brainiac, both Flash and Batman teamed up and added the cosmic treadmill to the Batmobile. A treadmill that lets Flash use his utmost speed to travel back through time. This is obviously an immeasurable speed feat no question about that. Thing is Batman is piloting the Batmobile so does he scale in reaction speed?

Not only is this a huge outlier both numerically and narratively. It’s extremely dubious in the first place. We don’t see Batman reacting to it in the first place, in fact we see quite the opposite. After transporting back in time Batman is cut off guard once he realizes the Batmobile is going to fall from a cliff. Implying he wasn’t reacting during transportation since he wouldn’t be caught off guard and would’ve reacted accordingly. There’s also the fact that the Batmobile has been showcased to be capable of driving itself thus it wouldn’t need Batman input and Batman wouldn’t be reacting to anything.

Regardless; No, Batman surprisingly doesn’t have immeasurable reaction speed. 

1460 C BATMAN?

However the more solid feat to scale Batman to is perhaps the one that is performed by none other than himself as well, though let us elaborate about the feat in more details. In Justice League vs. Bizarro League we are introduced to the character Bizarro who’s basically a mirror image of Superman. While Bizarro has good intentions, more or less, his actions have had some unforeseen consequences and thus he was forcibly moved to a cubic planet beyond the solar system. Obviously lonely on his own planet he comes back to Metropolis and steals the ray that created him in the first place and goes back to his planet… not before he makes Bizarro versions of the Justice League that is! The Justice League, obviously surprised by this and unaware of Bizarro's intention, goes to his cube-like planet in a short time span. There’s no reason to assume this took an innumerable time frame such as a month or year. The Justice League has no reason to waste their time and play around all while unaware of Bizarro true intention; So a day seems like a fine end. 

Unfortunately there’s no confirmed distance between this cubicle planet and the Earth. However, Proxima Centauri b, seems like a fine baseline considering it's the closest planet to our own Earth that is beyond the solar system.

So the last remaining question is… does Batman scale? Travel speed is a definitive yes considering Batman is piloting the Batwing, a vehicle he owns and can operate, while crossing the distance. Reaction speed is definitely a bit more debatable; Space is considerably empty so there’s no reason to assume Batman is dodging asteroids or any other celestial objects, thus one could argue this feat wouldn’t scale reaction wise. Although to make a counter argument, Batman is visibly reacting once he arrives on the cubicle planet, thus one could argue this scales to reaction. Regardless, your mileage may vary if this feat could in fact scale to Batman reaction speed although it's quite definitive that it should at least scale to his travel speed. 

Now let’s talk about LEGO Dimensions anyway…

Now we did mention beforehand that at least for the sake of not favoring Batman way too much with his amount of content, we won’t be using LEGO Dimensions. Especially in a crossover kind of context where we see various characters like Homer Simpson (who technically had a LEGO appearance before), Ninjago cast during the tournament of elements events, the Twelfth Doctor from Doctor Who and if you want to go to the ones that appear near games’ cancellation people like Sonic the Hedgehog, Finn & Jake, Harry Potter himself or even Teen Titans GO! cast, latter appears to be canon on TTG end apparently, but that aside, for general context it’s simply just relying on completely another franchises’ feats to win and normally shall be treated the same way Smash Bros or PlayStation All Star is (and well if we are really, REALLY wanna go crossover scaling chain route it eventually will just end up with all characters scaling to each other, either in theory or simply because of…you know, Fortnite which, let’s be real, soon or late it will have all of them in it, as a matter of fact to prove this statement it already has both Luke and Batman, hell, even Indy is now in LEGO Fortnite, it’s already ¾ done and it’s  just a matter of time until we get Harry making  this crossover of all things to be possible of being done directly). 

However, what about LEGO Dimensions itself? Are there feats within said crossover game that Batman could scale to? After all, assuming if for one reason or another Dimensions is canon to LEGO Batman then at least it may be fine to use feats that happen in crossover itself. There are no direct standards in terms of how crossovers should be treated, and very often it tends to be a precise case by case basis, but the most usual accepted option is when a character scales not to another franchise in particular but rather to feats the character did and/or can scale to in said crossover. Well, let’s take a look around. From starters canonicity itself isn’t heavily direct, the plot of Dimensions doesn’t exactly affect what happens in LEGO DC Universe generally. So it’s practically safe to play LEGO DC games without involving Dimensions, at least if you are in for the plot in LEGO games of all things (I mean, just for the record, some people are…). That being said, there are a few references to LEGO Dimensions in other LEGO Games and a bit vice versa such as one of LEGO Dimensions levels having Joker using the very same Joker mech from LEGO Batman 2 which Batman and Joker even acknowledge. We also see Keystone along with the portal, which is one of the if not the most major mechanic of LEGO Dimensions, being teased in LEGO Jurassic World…Still those can’t be treated as more than references, LEGO games love to do that on quite often occasions such as very often Indiana Jones and Star Wars correlation and even just Marvel and DC being teased to each other almost asking for a crossover. But you can still go and say “come on, who cares? These are LEGOs, you think LEGOs of all things have a definitive canon?”. Which is fair, even LEGO DC or Star Wars don’t follow their narrative one to one and Star Wars especially tends to repeat its plot multiple times in different forms. So for the sake of discussion let’s gamble and take Dimensions as canon in the context of this section and see where this gets us.

Plot is fairly simple: there is Lord Vortech and he wants to merge the entire LEGO Multiverse. This multiverse includes various verses like LEGO Movie, DC, Lord of the Ring, Doctor Who, Simpsons, Ninjago, Chima, Wizard of Oz, list goes on and on. To do so Vortech is using various foundation elements taken from various dimensions (for reference dimensions here are being referred to as Universes, not spatial dimensions). These foundation elements are important and specific to their own dimensions such as DC’s Kryptonite or The One Ring or Homer’s radioactive stick or even Cake from Portal. These elements also seem to be cornerstones of time and space. 

So from here you can basically get the idea that with all of the foundation elements, Vortech can merge all LEGO Universes into one. In context there are around tens of LEGO Universes that we know of in the context of Dimensions so the overall result will be the same amount of times universal (around 29 if you wanna get exact numbers). Later on Vortech does use the foundation (aka a green square block because, duh, it’s LEGO) to control universes but later is obviously being defeated. There’s gotta be a catch however right? Well, let’s take a look at scaling to Lord Vortech from the perspective of Batman himself. From starters even before collecting all elements, Batman saw Vortech as too powerful for him to handle, to the point that in a direct confrontation against him while also having Wyldstyle and Gandalf on his side, his overall option was to retreat (while directly and literally saying that he is too strong, and for reference that is despite previously facing off against Sauron of all people, in a LEGO form obviously but it is Sauron nevertheless). And even a tiny piece of Vortech (when he already took control over universes) was seemed as an insanely powerful object for Batman to the point that later on he decided to get help from a big variety of other characters: Ghostbusters, The Doctor, GLaDOS, Mystery Gang, list goes on. Point being, Lord Vortech was simply unable to be defeated directly by Batman and the crew, Batman’s plan was to trap him in a dimensional loop instead. And to do so, all of the combined forces were merely distracting Vortech from what’s going on before actually sending him into a dimensional loop, and, using The Doctor’s tech, trapping him within said loop. 

Now from a narrative standpoint it just makes 0 sense for Batman to scale to Vortech but maybe the gameplay has something to support his scaling? Let’s take a look at each of Vortech boss fights, fundamentally. The very first encounter, before Vortech gets control over universes, in Back to the Future universe, Vortech was using his giant forms and at that point was untouchable by cast, the only way they could actually be remotely close to doing damage to him is by summoning various vehicles like Delorian, Batwing, Trolls, Chima/Ninjago set(?), if someone may elaborate what exactly it is referencing here would be appreciated, talking to you readers out there. Point being that so far gameplay is pretty accurate, Batman can’t approach Vortech physically and needs some form of outside help, let’s see other examples, but first let’s also take a look at Zod, another kryptonian since he is also a boss in LEGO Dimensions. Zod is quite literally invincible for Batman, his batarangs just can’t dent his forcefield at all. During the fight, the crew constantly uses outside help from the environment to move this battle forward, though even then nothing was actually harming Zod until he was thrown directly into his ship that actually had Kryptonite (very convenient I know). 

Ok now back to Vortech, this time being disguised as a mummy, and oh would you look at that, a health bar, shouldn’t that mean that Batman harms Vortech here? Well from starters in this first phase it isn’t Vortech who is hurt, but rather the cart itself which Batman uses own cart to damage. Next phase is pretty much like other boss fights, Vortech isn’t being physically approached and instead, the environment is being used against him. Third Vortech fight is relatively straightforward, now he can be approached physically but only after getting heavily exhausted to the point of being unable to move and even then, that happens before Vortech gets control over universes. That leaves us with 2 fights when Vortex actually gets his full control, first one is against one brick of his power that being Tri, this gigantic looking mech…also wasn’t defeated in a physical approach, as usual Batman and crew had to use environment, go inside and break/disable everything from the inside. Here, Batman throws batarang onto this tiny piece of Vortech, and this piece basically started collapsing by itself, it was a bit doubtful if Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle would even survive its collapse given they’ve been hoping for X-P0 to provide them with an escape method earlier. 

Practically what happened on screen isn't the universe being destroyed for the record, only them being sucked in like into a wormhole (perhaps that explains a similar shaped piece appearing in a cliffhanger but now we’ll never know…). Now let’s get to the final boss, as has been established within the narrative, the plan was to distract Vortech and trap him in dimensional loop, does gameplay consist of similar shenanigans? The answer is…yes actually. No one in the cast makes a physical approach or heavily harms him, mostly pushes him. Tardis was distracting Vortech while others were destroying the green square (aka what was doing universe merging in the first place) piece by piece using various techs. Without Green Square Vortech basically lost his power to control and merge the universes, at least based on his reaction which implies he still needed it. And even afterwards no one in the cast was physically putting him down and still using equipment from the environment. In the end? The Doctor basically did the main job and used his stuff to trap Vortech in the loop.  

Overall, there are several conclusions to take from this section: One, using crossovers is essentially relying on a completely different verse to do the job for you without substantial support of connections later on, with references only making it identical to something like Smash Bros, and if pushed to its fullest will essentially only make this match equal stats. Two, whether LEGO Dimensions is canon or not is debatable and entirely up to interpretation, however. Three, Batman simply shouldn’t scale to Lord Vortech, considering not only Batman numerous times stating the need to defeat him in a non-direct way, not only narrative was built around the fact that Batman and others couldn’t outright beat Vortech and needed to trap him to win, but even within gameplay as modern LEGO Boss fight being a modern LEGO Boss fight, pretty much required them using environmental and other forces that are not directly themselves to fight Vortech. We do have a cliffhanger where some being from first perspective touches one of Vortech’s blocks and seems to be corrupted by it, but it is nothing beyond being a cliffhanger, unfortunately LEGO Dimensions was created before Spider-Men made it cool so around the year 2017 the game was cancelled. So overall even if we did include LEGO Dimensions it won’t really give Batman anything much (not when The Doctor is doing all the job).

Conclusion: Only The Doctor scales, thanks for your attention.

LEGO Harry Potter

Nothing lol get baited (unlike the canon one he is actually pretty straightforward…)

LEGO Indiana Jones

Indy actually tanks a nuke???

Ok now the other feat that generally may sound weird at first for the audience, is scaling Indy to the nuclear explosion that in the scene destroyed an entire city. Does that mean we are scaling Indy to the bomb??? Well, let’s keep horses down and just realize the context of what exactly is the feat here. From starters even in canon this feat is somewhat incredible, comic specifies that no ordinary human would’ve lived through this explosion using this method. Now what is notable here however isn’t explosion by itself, but rather its force, as some may figure out, if you are in a fridge while being anywhere near the explosion, as this visual shows, the fridge itself would simply be thrown really far away, average human won’t be able to survive the force of being thrown this hard. Indy as we can see in the movie and comic did. But if the movie and comic were relatively grounded with how far the fridge was being thrown, LEGO took it to the extreme. Instead of being sent a few dozens of meters away, the LEGO Indy in the fridge was pretty much sent back to his National Museum. At first it may not sound particularly impressive but consider this: the bombing test canonically was done in Nevada, while the National Museum Indy visits is in Washington or New York. This means that in a practically seconds timeframe, Indy inside the fridge was sent thousands of kilometers away in seconds. The kinetic energy of sending an object as heavy as the fridge this far is just an absolute bonkers, any other person would be dead by the moment impact would’ve happened, Indy however we can see coming out just as if nothing happened to him. In other words we didn’t scale Indy to nuke itself, but rather calculated the force of him being sent so goddamn far despite surface area and being in the fridge. This likely means that at the epicenter, the explosion probably was even more stronger, but that would be pointless to calculate given no one actually tanked its epicenter.

RELA INDIANA JONES?

So that medallion eh, pretty neat thing right? The thing is the nature of dodging that light is sorta questionable so here's some quick statements on why some here buy it and some don't so you can build your own conclusion (Get it get it it's like le-)

Pro-Light (Oleg)

When it comes to viability of the feat we mainly were going for 3 main questions/criterias:

1. Is it actually light?

2. Is it more than frame 1?

3. Does Indy actually dodges the attack?

The first one is pretty straightforward, we pretty much see our Nazi fella here to just use light from the window on a Medallion, the light in question, lacks actual force as whenever it targets someone they die due to the overheat from the light unlike bullet or explosive projectiles in the game that have impact, plus we see it reflecting, and in canon movie, the entire point behind Medallion was the fact that Indy later places it to use the light as a way to mark and pinpoint where the ark lies.

The second one is just as important a question, given that, if it’s just frame 1, then Indy doesn’t actually moves in-tandem with it, and the third question would’ve been negated by that, there are some characters in vs who had their reputation of dodging objects at certain speeds but upon closer examination turned out to not scale to said objects simply because of the fact that animation being frame 1 (notably a certain bloody robot and a certain genie hero). To answer that question while it does seem like the light beam is moving really fast, it is not in fact, frame 1. In quite a number of examples we see it moving from point A to point B not in an instant, and in the calc itself the movement was actually 4 frames, during which Indy managed to move a certain amount of distance before the beam touches the ground.

And at last whether intent is actually dodging, which is probably the most decisive and maybe debatable point…we believe the answer to be yes, normally if it were similar to a puzzle related to aiming light at certain points which LEGO Indiana Jones 2 has multiple examples of, it probably wouldn’t be viable given the circumstance here would be just Indy moving in tandem rather than actual dodging involved. In this case however, given that the light here is an attack that is aimed either at Indy or Marion, Indy had to move around to actually dodge it. The fact of it being both an attack and being possible to avoid, gives it more value than either attacks that normally are impossible to avoid at all (hello frame 1 attacks) or not-attacks that just happen to move circumstantially similarly to the character himself (hello really old Harry Potter game feat…) 

Anti-Light (Dick)

My main problem here is that it's kinda questionable whether Indy is really dodging the light. In the clip used for the calc he very much is just outrunning the speed at which Toht is shining the light, which is incredibly slow and he is obviously not moving the medallion at light speed. It's also unclear whether the light itself is lightspeed when placed through the medallion, which would explain why the light looks sorta slow and possible for Indy to dodge, but that's kinda just a thought so don't take that point as seriously. My point is I just don't really think he is actually dodging the light, moreso dodging Toht's aim.

Verdict

This Match up despite its “silly nature” so to speak, has plenty of complex shenanigans and interactions to go around, so before jumping to the biggest sauce, we’ll take a look at some of the general qualities and interactions here, right afterwards we will get to two main interactions that must solve the overall placement in this Battle Royale. With that being said, let’s start with some of the most ambiguous and famous stuff of these adapted franchises…

Quantity

Despite having only a few games and not that much heavy plot involved (unlike with LEGO’s own creations), these 4 managed to get a lot of either powers or items to say the least. Given a good amount of them are in the open world, and still have various mechanics, it’s quite natural. Though there are some notable differences. Last place in this category most likely will go to Indiana Jones, he has a very good amount of ranged weaponry and close encounter weaponry, and his whip is a fairly versatile and functional tool, plus his artifacts are some of the more magically supernatural items. That being said, others just simply have more in store, plus Indy lacks any actual individual powers that make him stand out more, forcing him to be more improvisational with what he has in his arsenal. Third place in this category will go to Luke, Lightsaber is a very powerful tool on its own and he got plenty of ranged weapons/explosives, plus he got plenty of Force Techniques on his own, but in terms of amount of the stuff Luke can do with The Force and his weapons is far less compared to what Harry and Batman can do, given that majority of his techniques in direct combat are extensions of telekinesis, visual illusion and mind affect, latter despite being versatile technique, Batman and Harry showcased resistance to a certain degree so it’s not easy to bet on it. Batman and Harry on the other hand are much tougher to call, Batman has an enormous amount of suits with various functions, while Harry has an enormous amount of spells each of which have different effects. Batman can safely countermeasure plenty of Harry’s options such as any Invisibility option with his Sensor Suit, while Harry lacks exact countermeasure vice versa. Batman also has the Forbidden Move, a technique with the potential to deal a practically lethal blow in a single shot. On top of that, Batman gets to have the Lantern Rings, while they are not exactly in Batman’s style nor do they act entirely like in comics when it comes to whatever their users are imagining in canon, it is still probably one of his major trump cards that is worth considering later on. 

On the other hand spells like Expecto Patronum (and Lumus Solem) for instance is one of the things that can perfectly counter Batman’s gigantic Bat Form and general bat usage, Multicorfors or identical transfiguration spells are capable of changing Batman’s suits potentially disabling him from using his special abilities of his suits. On top of that Harry has a lot of spells that can either hold you down, transfigure you in one way or another, or even straight up make more disabled if not dead, like Sectumsempra and potentially Avada Kedavra if Harry decides to transform himself into any of the dark mages so to speak. Add in other potential equipment he can get thanks to his polyjuice potion allowing him to transform and have abilities of other Harry Potter characters it is safe to say that Harry has potential quantity nearly of his entire franchise, like time travel with time turner, or turning into dog/werewolf thanks to Sirius Snape or Professor Lupin, or getting to use weasley’s boxes. Harry and Batman overall are the most versatile combatants in this royale when it comes to stuff they can/could do (at least directly, without involvement of building), so it is safe to consider them pretty much equal in this category. which leads us to this placement:

1. Batman and Harry Potter

2. Luke Skywalker

3. Indiana Jones

Sets & Vehicles (mostly Vehicles though…)

Perhaps one of the most unique gimmicks in this Match are the huge variety of sets each of the 4 themes had throughout years. It’s quite hard to keep track of some of them, but all of the 4 have enough to cover both land and sky, in case with Batman some even allow him to cover depths of the ocean. The last place in this category will certainly fall to Harry though, Harry Potter as a theme got plenty of sets, don’t get us wrong, however it’s important to consider that majority of the franchise is dedicated less to characters and more so to the setting of Wizarding World itself, which is why more often Harry Potter sets are building sets rather than anything else. The best Harry has to offer are his flying brooms, however they don’t actually protect Harry himself is a bigger problem, everyone else whether inside of a flying plane or moving car is protected from being shot directly, this is important cause majority of Harry’s spells require him to target his foes specifically to work, leaving him in need to deal with the vehicles first, while he himself is still left open for any potential damage he can get. 

Right after Harry comes Indy, unlike Harry Indy has more sets to use, whether it be cars, or planes he overall gets a layer of protection before anyone would be able to kill him. Some of his vehicles in question also hold offensive capabilities, so he can still keep his A game without being forced to get out of the vehicle, notably USSR vehicles along with the Plane that was used during Last Crusade events. However ultimately his sets still prove to be less equipped for a fight compared to Luke’s or Batman’s, as their vehicles both have shown to travel at much faster speeds, and more consistently carry weapons. 

From here, this category is between Luke and Batman. When it comes to the amount of vehicles at Batman’s disposal, you can understand that he has a lot to bring into the table, even if not count any specific versions of Batmobile, Batwing, Batboat, etc. he still has a variety of mechs, various air forms of travel, various ground forms of travel and various water forms of travel, on top of that Batman can control his vehicles at the distance which means that it is much easier to dispose his sets. Could Luke possibly keep up in this category? Surprisingly the answer would be yes. While it is true the amount of vehicles in Batman’s possession is large, only a few of them have shown to be armed and protected as well as Luke’s X-Wing. Given that X-Wing’s pink torpedoes not only are practically homing missiles, but also due to the fact that it is one of the few vehicles that has a forcefield, which by itself is practically like a bonus protection from anything that may be thrown at Luke. On top of that, when it comes to mechs, while both Batman and Luke are close in terms of functionality, Luke’s X-Wing mech also has a gigantic Lightsaber, which is important because it is a Lightsaber… that is big, in comparison Lightsabers are already noted as weapons that cut through a lot of objects including metallic ones, and having that kind of dangerous weapons increased in size practically nullifies it's more usual problem that it can cover not the entire area when needed to deal with various vehicles Jedis and/or Siths encountered. With that in mind, it’s safe to call Luke and Batman equal in this category leading us to:

1. Luke Skywalker and Batman

2. Indiana Jones

3. Harry Potter

This essentially turns into Batman’s Quantity of his vehicles vs Luke’s Quality of his vehicles or in this case, X-Wing, which actually leads us to the next category of comparison, contrasting the previous one…

Quality

As one might think, the amount of stuff a character can potentially do alone is far from enough, the matter of how they implement those powers and for what in context of this battle is also very important too, which in this category is mixing stuff from both Quantity and Quality. So without further ado let’s start with Harry and Indy, while Harry is very versatile with his spells, he has a lot of potential ways to incap, most notably being transfiguration spells, additionally he has a lot of stuff he can pull off from majority of his franchise whether it be some item or some ability spell, but it’s also worth pointing out that not a lot of stuff Harry can pull off is particularly useful, some of his transfiguration methods only partially change people he uses spell on and others also act as a way of stalling rather than actually killing foes, and most importantly it takes a lot of set up for majority of equipment that is not directly his, and some of them not entirely useful either. 

Let’s talk about his perhaps biggest potential item - Time Turner, with the way time travel in LEGO Harry Potter works outside of the plot, you might think Harry can just go to the past and kill combatants when they were babies, would that work? Well the problem to address here is similar to the ones that should be addressed to all time travel win cons in general, the factor of, well, knowing your opponent. If you go back in time to kill a stranger you never saw in your life before, then you will have to go through a variety of shenanigans to kill said stranger, in this case Harry not only lacks knowledge of where to search but also some technical problems that make it hard to do it in the first place, Indiana Jones is an archeologist who travels globally, so Harry can’t pinpoint an exact location of where Indy could be, as well as he needs to know Indy lives in america in the first place, Batman as you may guess is a secret identity, so to approach against him, Harry needs to find out that secret identity first which is impossible not only due to security of that identity but also because even with a spell with which he could do it may not work on Batman as he resisted mental attacks before. And against Luke it goes the hardest because even if Harry knew Luke’s story of who he is and where he lived, it’s just physically impossible for him to get here, Luke during his childhood was in Tatooine, and even if he was in any other Star Wars planet during his childhood times, it will take practically forever for Harry to actually get to the Star Wars galaxy itself, let alone search across all of its planets, even if assuming his broom flies at its fastest at all times. Making Time Turner in this context practically requires way too much leniency to work as one might think it would work in this fight.

Other items are convenient generally but also fall short in usefulness, Draught potion at best stalls Harry from being killed as he can’t do anything but move at its state, invisibility potion is good but not only he already has an invisibility option at hand (the cloak), Batman can pretty much counter it, nor does the effect of the potion lasts forever. Harry could theoretically turn into a ghost, but in doing so he loses all of his magical abilities, and therefore can’t offer much offensively, and again, potion’s effects normally are not permanent. Expelliarmus can disarm his opponents, but no one among the 3 he is fighting against are as reliant on one piece of equipment as much as Harry relies on his wand. Batman and Indy simply just have a lot in their arsenal while Luke if loses his equipment he can always pick them back by using force telekinesis. Speaking of that, it is worth bringing up a comparison when it comes to the potency of their telekinesis. Harry’s Wingardium Leviosa at peak could lift a weight that weighs a ton, decent, but Luke’s TK managed to go further. Given we can see him being able to casually rebuild X-Wing on several occasions as well as given we can see other force users lifting or rebuilding starships on a regular basis, it is simply notable that Luke is just much more higher into scale of things, at worst being 30 times more powerful and at peak with scaling to Obi-Wan and Yoda moving planetary models, 200+ times stronger. This gives Luke a superiority in terms of building control to such degree that Luke can actually just do this against Harry and it’ll work:

Essentially the point is that while Harry has a big quantity of spells and stuff he can do, arsenal wise a lot of it requires him doing specific shenanigans, whether drinking potions, or just switching between spells, while others are simpler but also just as effective. In Indy’s case, that’s how basically describes his arsenal, a lot of them are simple and not as flashy but ultimately work, and notably some of his sets being protected means that he is more likely to live for longer. At which point Harry and Indy aren’t way too far from each other quality wise, in context of this fight, so we can consider them even.

Luke and Batman meanwhile have a lot more going for them, Batman’s insanely big arsenal of sets and suits puts all 3 in the battle royale in an uncomfortable position, and given his stuff he can switch on the fly, he gets to use all of them much easier. Luke on the other hand while not as handy as we previously discussed, his Force Telekinesis is practically ridiculous with its potential. As we mentioned previously building skills allow all of the 4 in this royale to build practically anything imaginable, out of any surrounding bricks, however if Indy and Batman need to focus on that, while potentially leaving themselves open, Luke using telekinesis means that he doesn’t need to be as focused on building as others, and the fact that he can rebuild so much with a brief focus gives him a major edge, this will be especially important to consider later on. On top of all that not only Lightsaber is the most powerful weapon here being able to slice through practically anything, if Luke gets his hands on Power Up he’ll straight up become not only invincible but also actually able to do stuff (unlike Harry) as well as build at faster speeds. With that in mind Luke likely has edge in quality leaving with this line up:

1. Luke Skywalker

2. Batman

3. Harry Potter and Indiana Jones

Speaking of speed, let us take a look at another category

Speed

This is probably the easiest to look at, all 4 have baseline speed feats to scale to, like Batman and Indy dodging bullets or Harry scaling to Umbridge who was dodging and reflecting arrows and Luke who was deflecting laser blasts. However let’s take a look at their peak speed feats, Harry is probably the most straightforward, he just flew out of the orbit, you can’t get simpler than that, and it is actually pretty fast - 3% of Speed of Light, but others have more in store as well. Indiana Jones has a medallion feat which we discussed earlier, that will have him at 15% of Speed of Light, with this he’ll be 5 times faster than Harry however without it Harry will be blitzing to an enormous degree, such difference on whether feat is viable or not is somewhat game changing between these 2, so for now until the further category, we’ll claim it as a tie as well. In a big picture though neither Harry or Indy will match Batman’s and Luke’s cosmic travel feats. Sure Bruce’s is a bit more ambiguous, but even at lowest interpretations within the context of the story he’ll be much faster than either of the 2, with his speed being 1460 times Faster than Light. Luke meanwhile goes to a much crazier degree, it may seem like only Hyperdrive is used to travel across the planets which, at first it may seem like a problem by virtue of Hyperspace travel not usually requiring any sort of reaction, however not only we see Darth Vader’s tie fighter just fly from Naboo to Tatooine that simply, we also just see Wampa physically throwing Jar Jar from Hoth to Tatooine, this is important cause Hoth and Tatooine geographically are far far away from each other making it even in a time frame of 1 year and 6 months to be 28,293 times Faster than Light, that is 19 Times faster than Batman and much much faster than either Harry or Indy. From here it is clear how line up goes:

1. Luke Skywalker

2. Batman

3. Harry Potter and Indiana Jones

This leaves us with a final category at which point we will compare one of the more major factors in this fight:

Power

In this category we have plenty of major twists all around, from starters unexpectedly, Harry takes the last place here, with the best feat in his franchise being Voldemort’s storm feat which is either 0.1 Tons of TNT or at best 37 Tons of TNT, but it is a lot more unexpected considering Indiana’s fridge feat gets up to 2-4 Kilotons of TNT hundreds to thousands of times stronger than practically Harry’s best. Batman is at worst keeping up with Indy by scaling to Brainiac’s 6.89 Kilotons of TNT Earth expansion feat. Luke manages to beat all of that even with the minimum of his scaling to the Death Star’s explosion being 21.32 Teratons of TNT. From here it basically turns into a race between Luke and Bruce, given that with the scaling to Hal Jordan, Batman can get up to 721.8 Teratons of TNT, which while not to biggest degree but surpasses Luke’s low ends of Death Star explosions 20 and 80 Teratons, with Mid-End though Luke can get up to 122.84 Teratons of TNT, now Batman is only slightly stronger but considering Luke heavily upscales it via the fact that even basic Stormtroopers which Luke kills in a matter of 1-2 punches can survive it with no damage, it is safe to say Luke is a lot closer to Bats, and even slightly surpasses if use highest ends of Death Star scaling that being 4.95 - 8.58 Petatons of TNT. Generally they are so evenly matched that even their best cosmic arguments to a degree (Cornerstone and Anti-Life Equation) are identical upon further examination. However cosmic arguments aside, which we will spend some time with a bit later, generally Luke and Batman are not super far off from each other in terms of power so it is safe to call that one even: 

1. Luke Skywalker and Batman

2. Indiana Jones

3. Harry Potter

With that being said, it is time now to take some final looks at the most important interactions in this MU, which with what is given we decided to separate it into 2 categories for each of the 2 placements:

Harry Potter vs Indiana Jones: Battle for the 3rd Place

Given all stated above information let us now get to the matter of placement, who will be where. At which point, based on the stated above categories you may already come to the conclusion that 2 interactions in particular are worth looking into here. So let’s start from the first one, Harry Potter and Indiana Jones, these 2 are pretty much losing to Luke and Batman when interacting against them for multitude of reasons that are mentioned either above or will be mentioned below, so naturally neither are guaranteed to win, but who will get the honorable 3rd place podium?

Harry has some pretty good advantages off the bat. Significantly more hax and abilities means he can always keep Indy on his toes whereas Indy generally uses the same few tricks. He could disarm Indy with Expelliarmus, get around vehicles by simply freezing them with Glacius or forcing Indy off with spells like Flipendo or Expecto Patronum, and depending on how you view the light medallion Indy feat Harry would be blitzing by an insane degree (3% SoL VS Bullet Dodging). However Indy has some big stuff too, namely in a significant AP and Dura Advantage (37 Tons VS 4770 Tons), being potentially 5 times faster if you buy the light medallion, having many vehicle options to protect him, and also a plane just being > broomstick. In terms of what both have, both have decent methods of disarming (Though Harry’s is better since it is ranged), and neither’s resistances really factor here since the opponents don’t really use options that would require them to factor in. Also both coincidentally have ways to possibly beat their stronger opponents, namely Harry being able to kill Ghosts and the Crystal Skull being able to prevent the Big Bat Form, despite that being not much of a factor here since they obviously get too outstatted. Harry could in theory summon a snake which would make Indy scared to the point of being unable to do anything but 

1. Harry needs to know about such weakness beforehand

2. He needs to use polyjuice potion to specifically turn into Draco Malfoy given no one else has shown to use that spell and even then it may be dubious.

Now essentially, Harry’s and Indy’s win conditions vary. It is one of the most Hax vs Stats debates you could ever imagine, given that for Harry to win he must either immobilize Indy and/or utilize his transfiguration spells, while for Indy to win he basically needs to shoot or punch…once. Generally Harry is more versatile but given he is not as straightforward or experienced fighter, Indy is less versatile but because of his strength advantage and several ranged weaponry he can likely outgun Harry. Worth also mentioning that Harry can’t use several spells simultaneously so if he is focused on one spell (such as Wingardium Leviosa) he can be very much open for some sort of attack. Doesn’t help that not everything on Harry’s equipment will be useful in a direct confrontation, like pets which while can travel through small obstacles are not fighters and would pretty much be dealt with on instant, or majority of defensive and offensive spells, like Protego which due to the difference in power will break from just a single blast, while general attack spells, wouldn’t harm Indy or his vehicles much if at all. This is important because Harry needs to hit Indy specifically to use any of his incapacitation spells, while hitting vehicles just won’t cause the effect or at best, just won’t affect Indy himself. Meanwhile Indy on some of his vehicles like USSR Boat Car or German Plane or even Jungle Cutter, needs to either shoot or ram into Harry once. It is naturally a big difference in terms of simplicity of said win conditions; however if you don’t buy the medallion feat, it becomes much more easy and likely for Harry to implement his win conditions over the course of time.

So between the LEGO Who Lived and the Raider of the LEGO Ark, who wins?

Summary

LEGO Harry Potter

"A journey every kid must go through, a rite of passage, friends made, enemies defeated, learning, failing, facing down danger in all shapes and sizes, finding out who you are and what you’re made of, it takes courage, wits and a little bit of… magic."

Advantages:

• By far has the best hax

• Wingardium Leviosa is a very versatile spell that can be used to either telekinetically control his opponent or reconstruct any object…

• Transfiguration would allow for easy hits and make it easier to take out other combatants

• Additionally Harry has a lot of spells that allow him to leave an opening for doing so 

• Immobulus can simply disable or stop a lot of the combatants and their items

• Accio allows to gain his wand and other items back if he gets disarmed

• Is the only combatant capable of non-physical interaction and therefore attacking Luke as a Force Ghost

• Possibly can disable Batman from his suits and its gears via Multicorfors

• Marauder’s Map can counter other opponent’s disguises…

• Invisibility Potion and Invisibility Cloak along with the Polyjuice Potion allow Harry to blend in and hide during the fight…

• Potentially is able to go back in time…

• Better evidence for Relativistic Speeds than the actual Harry Potter

• Has more chemistry with Ginny than in the movies

• Beat Luke in a rap battle

Disadvantages:

• …but Luke’s Force Telekinesis is more potent and powerful

• …but only if the fight happens specifically in Hogwarts’ territory

• …but Batman’s Sensor Suit directly counters invisibility options

• …but has to put way too much effort to actually benefit from said time travel. 

• Is the weakest and slowest (if you buy Medallion feat) in this Royale 

• Has the least skill & experience in terms of direct combat and therefore is far less threatening in a direct physical confrontation

• Loses majority of advantages if disarmed from his wand

• His transportation equipment lacks any offensive capabilities and leaves him wide open for an attack still 

• <insert JK Rowling jab here (there’s too many options)>

• Ironically is the one without a nose unlike Voldemort

• The only one not in Fortnite

LEGO Indiana Jones

"With the help of his whip and fist of brick, nothing will stop one man from discovering treasure."

Advantages:

• Much stronger and slightly faster (if you buy Medallion feat) than Harry 

• Also is more skilled in a direct confrontation than Harry

• Has a huge pool of weapons and vehicles to choose from

• Whip allows him to disarm opponents and get items directly into his hands

• Has generally more offensive vehicles than Harry, leaving him both armed and protected from any potential spell

• Can prevent Batman manifesting into his giant Bat Form via the Crystal Skull…

• That scene, I mean come on…

Disadvantages:

• If you don't buy the Medallion feat, then Harry is much faster.

• …although if Batman manifests into his giant Bat Form BEFORE Indy can wield the Crystal Skull against him it’ll be useless 

• Slower and weaker than Batman and Luke

• Takes more time to rebuild his constructs in comparison to Harry and Luke with their telekinetic abilities

• Shall Harry cast any of his transfiguration spells Indy will be put down in a single shot

• Has no unique and distinct ability to his name that can aid him in a fight

• Sadly is the least alive theme out of the 4…

• We were RIGHT THERE MAN

Conclusion: The Bronze Medal goes to…

This overall wasn’t an easy call, both Indy and Harry were unique opponents in their own ways, and as stated above ultimately it came down to whether the majority in our team thinks Indy matches or not with Harry’s speed. But overall, LEGO Indiana Jones was our choice in this matter. With his far superior strength and speed, and vehicles with arsenal at ranged defense, he made sure that in this crusade, Hogwarts’ top wizard was doomed to be a deathly hallow. The 3rd place winner is LEGO Indiana Jones.

LEGO Harry Potter - 2 (Dick with a “D”, Why am I here)

LEGO Indiana Jones - 5 (Oleggator, door-kun, blessedaura, PUNPUN, Adam天)

Luke Skywalker vs Batman: Battle for the 1st Place

Given the difference in terms of amount of content and history of these franchises with LEGO, it’s only natural that this match overall came down to Luke vs Batman. Both are much faster and stronger than either Harry or Indy, both have a lot more sets and therefore more used vehicles to weaponize, as well as Luke’s Force abilities and Batman’s equipment is proven to be quite a hard and near-impossible challenge for Harry and Indy to deal with. From Jedi Mind tricks to the invisibility suit, from potent force telekinesis to a large number of bat-vehicles, meaning that the final choice falls down between these 2 titans of LEGO themes.

There is a lot to rant about but let’s start with their basic gear, Batman has a lot more on hand, can give himself plenty of costumes with abilities, can summon Batmobile and other Bat-vehicles and even fly with very easy on hand equipment. He’s got a very accurate aim with his Batarang, is very acrobatic, can also travel via grappling hook and perhaps has the most experience in combat here. But let’s hold our horses and consider that Luke matches and even surpasses where it matters the most. From starters Luke is also very acrobatic, Luke also can grapple to objects with the same gun he shoots blasts from, and his lightsaber proves to be a very tough challenge to Batman, given it can counter majority of his equipment, along with that Luke’s telekinesis perfectly counters Batman’s aim making him possible to take control of the direction Batman throws his Batarangs at and reflecting them back at him. 

Luke also has vehicles that can travel on land and sky, as a matter of fact his X-Wing is capable of interstellar travel which is something that not a lot of Batman’s vehicles can do. On top of that his X-Wing also has a forcefield which gives Luke a solid protection from any of the first attacks, this is something that only the Batmobile was shown capable of doing. Making it much easier work for Luke to go against Batman’s machines. Both also have giant mechs but generally Luke’s X-Wing Mech serves a bigger danger here given the gigantic lightsaber which serves a similar problem but expanded as much bigger. Still Batman can summon tons of them at once, which would give him numbers advantage over Luke, but the trick is still…in Luke’s telekinesis. You see, telekinesis is a very potent and unique ability if used with precision and creativity, and in this fight we have not just an average telekinetic user, but piece by piece, brick by brick, stud by stud precise and creative telekinetic user. Luke can not only just disconnect all of Batman’s vehicles into nothing but bricks, but also just, use them for himself, and the more vehicles and sets Batman sends at Luke, the bigger build Luke can create for himself by simply just using Batman’s own vehicles. If you don’t believe me, see these examples, we just see several force users being able to casually disconnect others’ vehicle details and even use them for themselves. At that degree it is not impossible to believe that Luke will eventually use Batman’s own stuff to his own advantage. Batman’s saving grace are Lantern Rings, with which he can decently match in telekinetic versatility with Luke, but there are still a few tricks to note of. Before using the ring and after using the ring there is still essentially a big problem with the fact that Batman…doesn’t have own superpowers specifically, and that the majority of his best stuff is rather equipment. Luke (and force users generally) is natural, so he doesn’t need to rely on his own equipment alone, if he loses any weapons the force will always be still here with him, allowing him to control the battle. And even against a ring powered by a willpower, Luke eventually can just, at least, disarm Batman from the ring by using aforementioned telekinesis. It’s pretty clear that while within the matter of these outside factors Batman is not an easy to deal with foe, Luke holds a general edge.

And the stats here only help to utilize that edge. Starting from speed, both have feats that involve interstellar travel, but generally Wampa feat to which Luke scales, is both more clear and a lot more impressive given he managed to throw an object across several light years. Power is a bit tougher call, while at lowest, Batman has the solid edge, at highest it goes vice versa and Luke has more solid edge. Which gives different variations in terms of how interaction may go, however if we take the Death Star explosions at its mid-end, Batman won’t be that much stronger, especially given said explosion can be tanked by much weaker beings like Stormtroopers and Porgs. Which leads to Luke blitzing and generally matching with Batman in power. Still there is one last elephant in the room to talk about - their ✨✨Cosmic Scaling!✨✨

Well, let’s make it clear, essentially their in-verse strongest feats are scaling to the Cornerstone vs scaling to the Anti-Life Equation (obviously LEGO version not comic one). Both the Cornerstone and the Anti-Life equation have power to reshape planets and both the Cornerstone and Anti-Life equation can affect the whole universe. The difference is that we actually see Cornerstone doing all that, it is not to dismiss the Anti-Life Equation, but it has a lot more unknown factors for its legitimacy and exact mechanics, while with Cornerstone we see everything with our eyes directly. We both see changing planets from top to bottom, and even see it reshape the entire history of Star Wars, practically affecting Space & Time at the same time, which is something we just don’t see the Anti-Life Equation even stated to be capable of, potentially making scaling to the Cornerstone the more powerful out of the two overall.

So between LEGO’s New Hope and the LEGO Dark Knight, who comes out on top?

Summary

LEGO Luke Skywalker

"I’ll never turn to the dark side. I am a Jedi, like my father before me."

Advantages:

• Considerably stronger than Harry and Indy 

• Slightly stronger than Batman with Death Star’s high ends 

• Much stronger when it comes to cosmic arguments at which point the Cornerstone scaling is far more solid than the Anti-Life Equation and potentially more powerful

• Significantly faster than all 3 in the BR

• One of the more skilled fighters in the group only being rivaled by Batman 

• Telekinesis gives Luke better means of building everything around, as well as having better control over the battlefield

• For instance it allows him to rebuild Batman’s very own vehicles as his own weapon.

• Power Up while short in time makes Luke completely invulnerable for anything the 3 might throw at him.

• Is the least dependent on equipment compared to other 3 

• X-Wing is overall one of the best vehicles in this Royale.

• Mind Affect is something that can work on Indiana Jones…

• Force Ghost is something the majority of contestants lack counter to…

• THE First LEGO Adaptation

Disadvantages:

• Batman still has basically a lot more vehicles in his hand

• Is one of the less versatile characters when it comes to pure arsenal quantity.

• …but Batman and Harry have shown resistance to similar mind affecting abilities.

• …except for Harry who has shown to be capable of using magic on intangible beings and even touching them.

• Lost to Harry in a rap battle

LEGO Batman

"I am Batman."

Advantages:

• Much stronger and faster than Harry and Indy…

• Bat Form increases his strength by a tremendous albeit unknown amount and has huge AoE. Can easily reform it if necessary

• Can hypothetically ignore Luke durability via his ice suit

• Undoubtedly the most intelligent one in the group and one of the more skilled fighters in the group only being rivaled by Luke 

• Easily takes versatility when it comes to equipment and vehicles

• Several of his vehicles can operate by themselves and fight for him

• Can constantly target his foes with his Batarangs

• Can resist Luke’s Mind Affect

• Sensor Suit can nullify Harry’s Cloak of Invisibility and Invisibility Potion

• Could break out of freezing even though it may slow him down at first.

• Can turn invisible…

• “In the deep dark layer of the Batman”

Disadvantages:

• …but is slightly weaker and massively slower than Luke

• Massively weaker than Luke when it comes to cosmic arguments

• …albeit Marauder's Map can counter Batman’s stealth options as well

• Has no real counter to Luke’s telekinetic attacks (i.e. Force Push and Force Choke, etc.) or Wingardium Leviosa

• Lacks a way of approach against Force Ghost

• Takes more time to rebuild his transports and constructs in comparison to Luke & Harry who use telekinesis for that 

• Still owes Superman 16 dollars

• Okay Batman, we’ll take it from here 

Conclusion

This was certainly a fascinating match up, with plenty of twists during the research and unique finds that were making this set complicated to build, to say the least. But with all factors considered, LEGO Luke Skywalker, had both superior speed, matching power, and his more superior and important abilities as a factor in this fight (on top of everything mentioned earlier, Batman not being able to harm Force Ghost means that Luke is still more likely to win eventually). The Dark Knight was tough (both literally and as a person), but The Last Jedi had all that was needed to become the only best, to be good enough. The winner is LEGO Luke Skywalker.

Epilogue

Why hi there fellas, long time no see. Yeah this blog took quite awhile compared to previous ones, I can partially blame myself here with chasing a lot of rabbits at once, and having plenty of blogs or just irl to work on, but even then, I don’t mind taking it slow. And hey eventually I did manage to cover this one. But other than that, thank you for reading this blog, and well, hopefully the next MU will catch your eyes as well. With that being said:

NEXT TIME on Blo𝐆ator…
