How they Compare: Israphel (Shadows of Israphel)

Little is known about the Dark Lord Israphel of the deserts. What is known is he seems to have been the son of Reverend John of Terrorvale, the "quaintest little hamlet in Minecraftia". He was a mischevious personality and so he worked under the eccentric Professor Grizwold. When the professor's experiments went wrong, Israphel died by accident to creepers. 

However it seems some dark force related to the ancient sealed Sand God resurrected Israphel from the grave. Israphel now isolated due to his undead nature would take to pranking and trolling all the living he came across. However these acts grew more and more malicious, possibly as his sense of isolation or his devotion to the mysterious Sand God grew over time. As such he's gone from a mild troll to a force of chaos that wants to conquer all of Minecraftia and unseal the Sand God.

In terms of power, Israphel is one of the strongest fighters in the main Yogscast-verse. He almost completely destroyed the Yogcave, a structure containing many rooms, showing that he would be likely a building+ level entity. He's far above Swampy Bogbeard whose power was enough to restore an Oasis which would also likely be in this level. It's possible he could be much stronger if you scale his weather feats to his raw attack potency. 

In terms of speed, Israphel is known for being evasive and hard to catch. He's also fired arrows so quickly that it seemed like they were a single continuous stream of arrows, easily requiring subsonic+ speed.

Where Israphel really excels is in his abilities and skills. Israphel is a skilled fighter, superhumanly skilled with bow and at least proficient with a blade as well as being incredibly skilled at evasion, often evading BlueXephos and Honeydew's pursuit and employing both stealth and agility. He is also known for his incredibly manipulative skills called the puppet master who has masterminded the creation of the cult of Israphel across many cities serving his will. 

He seems to get stronger with his resurrections. He has slowly grown more and more dark powers as his mind and heart have descended into darkness. He and his minions are known for their usage of fire, and he has shown the ability to project fire.

Israphel is also known for his ability to manipulate the weather, creating a mini storm over part of the desert during his battle of the breach. He's also implied to be responsible for the neverevending summer with high temperatures. 

Israphel is also known for his necromancy/corruption. He resurrected his old father Reverend John turning him into a undead cultist of Israphel to advance his cause.  He will also resurrect automatically, giving him a strong regen factor. He can exploit this by making himself explode only to regen later.

Israphel has at times displayed ghostlike properties of non-corporeality and disappearing from one place only to appear in another, teleporting, though this is inconsistent and possibly a state he exists in between regenerations. He also sometimes demonstrates the ability to slow time to a relative crawl around him and possibly to time travel? It's unclear if it's an ability or a plot hole but it's stated he created the sands despite them existing before he was born. 

Israphel also has various mental tricks. He can enter into the dreams of others which he did to haunt Enoch. He focuses this through his special technique, the taint of Israphel. The taint of Israphel can passively occur to people just from being near Israphel but he can hasten it's effects by focusing it on an enemy. The taint can effect the mind of the target, turning them insane or brainwashing them to Israphel's cause. It can also act as a virus deteriorating the victim's health, age them rapidly, cause them to explode in blood and gore, and can even resurrect the dead raising them with dark powers. It is possibly this is where his necromancy comes from. It's also implied he can remove memories with it. The Taint of Israphel can effect an entire city at once as did to the Dwarven city of Stoneholm.

Finally Israphel has corrupted and gained some control over the Sands, magical living sands, which convert that which they touch to sand or sandstone.

Israphel's only notable weakness is that he seems to be at heart still a bit more of a troll then a conqueror and prefers even with his elaborate plans to wreak havoc to go straight for his objective.

So how would he do in other verses?

In the DC Universe, his raw power would be fairly considerable for the street tiers, though he would be massively slower then most serious fighters. That said unless he's fought by a magician, his regen and his more powerful hax abilities would allow him to quickly become at least a local threat, if he resurrects low level metahumans to be his minions for instance or if he uses his magic to cause someone signifigant to go insane as his mind hax would be quite strong in the verse. He'd only be signifigantly threatened within the street tiers if he fights the strongest street tiers or the magic-users. Or if he fights Dove of the Dove and Hawk Duo given her purification powers as shown in Blackest Night.

In Marvel Comics, Israphel's raw power would be negible compared to most street tiers, as would his speed and his mind hax while not nothing would be a lot easier to deal with given the regular levels of psychics and psychic resistance. Their science would also deal with the virus component of Israphel a lot easier. That said they might have some difficulty putting him down without going above the street tiers and his magical transmutation would be extremely dangerous. Best tactic I can think of is psychic tricking him into going in their dreams and creating a psychic battlefield. 

In the Dead Space-verse, Israphel would be comparable to most high tier non-boss Necromorphs physically, scaling off Isaac who can survive strikes from skyscraper sized Necromorphs and keep pace with the Twitchers, the fastest Necromorphs. That said Israphel would be a much smarter undead then any necromorph save a Breathern Moon. Israphel can potentially use his necromancy to control the Necromorphs but if he can't he can hypothetically use the taint of Israphel to make their bodies explode at their weak points or just turn them into sand. He can also regen from most physical strikes with the only real way to put him down being the Marker's mind hax which may not work as it's a form of corruption or some kind of biological assimilation, which also may not work. He'd have a particularly interesting fight against Isaac. His time-slowing would probably equal Isaac slowing an enemy with stasis and Isaac resisted the Marker which has similar corruption/mind hax as Israphel. Overall Israphel would probably be able to beat anything in the verse one on one save a Brethern Moon.

In the Prince of Persia-verse, Israphel would actually fit in pretty well. He's faster but not quite fast enough to blitz and they're stronger but not quite strong enough to one-shot, suggesting he'd be a bit of a fragile speedster in the verse. His time manipulation and magical sand manipulation would both fit in the verse well. His time manipulation is not nearly as versatile and is seemingly much more conditional but he has numerous other haxes that would make him a good fight for most of the verse's high tiers. Israphel vs Dark Prince would in particular be a really cool fight especially given their personalities.

In actual Minecraft, Israphel does....interestingly. Israphel has about as much power as Mid-Game Steven, and is faster then him even then. However both of them have a regen factor the other can't really get past and Steve has ways of defending against Israphel's haxes with purification and probability manipulation. 

What this means is that the two would get into a long long stalemate with Israphel trolling Steve. Steven could possibly eventually beat Israphel by tricking him into another dimension or purifying him, but both would take a long time especially if Israphel is ruining his efforts all the while. What most likely happens if Israphel wins 1,000,000 individual battles with Steve but eventually loses the war.
