@WhoWouldWin13 Whoa....tough one.

While both characters have energy powers, Doctor Doom's is a bit more varied, capable of energy absorption, energy shield and energy enhanced strikes. Its possible that Doom could absorb some of Sephiroth's energy-based attacks and then fire them back in

@WhoWouldWin13 return. However, Sephiroth has divine and other magical powers that could compensate for this. Indeed, the divine powers could be used to stop Doom from switching bodies with Sephiroth in this battle, though whether Sephiroth could detect such an attack and counter in time

@WhoWouldWin13 remains to be seen.

Sephiroth's Masamune sword is formidable, more so than a sword of that size should be. A replica was made with real life materials, and though it could cut well, the blade wobbled.

@WhoWouldWin13 However, not only does Sephiroth's blade remains straight when swung, it undergoes a lot of stress and power when Sephiroth, who has super strength and speed, slashes it about. It never, ever wobbles, even with such force applied to it. Along with this, it can cut through the

@WhoWouldWin13 super durable scales of dragons and the Midgar Zolom. This, combined with Sephiroth living in the distant future (where one would expect metallurgy to be more advanced), shows that his blade is made out of stronger materials than modern steel, perhaps even being made out of

@WhoWouldWin13 Tungsten or titanium (perhaps stronger futuristic versions of those super-strong metals). Indeed, it might be made out of both. Katana's are made of steel and iron, which gives their blades both great strength and flexibility. Tungsten is harder than titanium, but breaks instead

@WhoWouldWin13 of bends. When pieces of both are placed together to make one blade...you have a formidable cutting weapon. No matter what Sephiroth's blade is made out of, it is super strong and has the potential to cut through Doom's armor. Indeed, considering its power, its capable of

@WhoWouldWin13 cutting through energy shields (though whether he can do this with Doom's energy shield remains to be seen, but its possible).

I think Doctor Doom could take his Bizarro Sephiroth form (though it would be tricky for one individual), but...Sephiroth's Safer form would be a

@WhoWouldWin13 formidable challenge, especially when considering that it not only could break Doom's energy shields with ease, it could summon a Supernova attack, which would drive Doom insane. This would instantly give Sephiroth a very serious mental health advantage. The question is, could

@WhoWouldWin13 Doom use his powers to protect himself from it? I don't think so. At his safer form, Sephiroth's divine powers really shine. Indeed, unless Dr. Doom somehow gains the Knights of the Round materia...Its going to be a very tough fight. This would be an impressive back and forth

@WhoWouldWin13 magic battle, and Doom's super science weaponry, combined with his magic, cannot guarantee a victory.

One thing Doom can do is disrupt Sephiroth's electrical attacks. Such powerful attacks were used by Sephiroth before he went cuckoo for cocoa puffs, and they were used to

@WhoWouldWin13 devastating effect. However, Doom can both control and disrupt electricity. Thus, he could turn these weapons back on Sephiroth.

However, there is one thing we need to note about Sephiroth in his normal human form, something that makes it in some ways more formidable than his

@WhoWouldWin13 safer or Bizarro forms: its invulnerability.

For most of his life, Sephiroth never received a single wound. In his battle with the dragon, the beast couldn't harm him. It bit, it breathed flame, and yet no physical attack could harm Sephiroth. Indeed, the only thing that ever

@WhoWouldWin13 could hurt or kill Sephiroth was...Cloud Strife. His buster sword went right through Sephiroth when the latter was beginning to go nuts, and years later, when they met again, Cloud's omnislash limit break sliced and diced the crazed supervillain. If I remember correctly, in the

@WhoWouldWin13 later FF7 movie (Advent's Children), Cloud's sword alone hurts him. Doom...is no Cloud Strife. He doesn't have Cloud's uncanny ability to overcome Sephiroth's invulnerability, nor his weapons. He doesn't even have the omnislash limit break, or any limit breaks for that matter.

@WhoWouldWin13 Meanwhile, Sephiroth has a wicked ten foot blade that could cut through energy shields and sever Doom head with a single super-fast slash...

I conclude...

@WhoWouldWin13 SEPHIROTH OFFERS DOCTOR DOOM TO HIS MOTHER....
