Shortly after, when Cyclops moved the X-Men to Utopia and demonstrated his bona fides as the leader of mutantkind, Magneto came to Utopia and dropped to his knees, saying, "I come not to bury Caesar, but to praise him" (an intentional Inversion of the Mark Antony speech from Julius Caesar). Thereafter, he served loyally on Scott's 'Extinction Team', busted him out of prison after Avengers vs. X-Men, and followed him until his death.

Zim and Dib from Invader Zim are certainly worthy of one another; in "Room With a Moose" Zim even notes that he's telling Dib his evil plan because he's the only human smart enough to appreciate it. Doesn't mean they are particularly good at what they do though. The Epic of Gilgamesh: the very reason Enkidu was created was to be Gilgamesh's best friend and worthy opponent and give him another way to expend his power and Super-Strength besides sleeping with every woman in Uruk. In "Aylee vs. Bun-bun", the xenomorph-like alien and the evil rabbit Bun-bun have a huge fight that lasts for many hours. After both collapse in exhaustion, they become quite friendly, and Aylee becomes the only main character that Bun-bun respects in those early days. He evens warns her that someone is planning to kill her note as opposed to saying "She says to go right in" like he did when someone threatened to kill Torg if he came in. The Sword Worlders and the Aslan in Darrian service believe in this so much that they have a system of bars for them to visit each other when they are not busy killing each other. Bruce Santee had this opinion of Jon Davis, to the point that after beating him in Vintage Wrestling via roll up, Santee felt bad for him and requested a rematch at the earliest opportunity using the excuse no one paid to see roll ups and their match should end with one of them laid out.you want can be used if you first install it on your device and then type in the font name on Imgflip. Doom still does anyway, for ''none possess the luxurious prose and unmatched scientific acumen of DOOM!''. Indeed, a large part of Doom's characterization boils down to his Inferiority Superiority Complex and his belief that he must prove himself Reed's better. It finally comes full circle during the Grand Finale of the old 616-universe, where Doom finally admits that Reed is smarter than him. Prior to the Ravens' formation, the Steelers had their intense rivalry with the Cleveland Browns, who the Ravens were born out of a plan to move the Browns there note Long story short: In 1995, Browns owner Art Modell planned to move the Browns to Baltimore, but after the city of Cleveland objected, a compromise was settled where the Browns' players would move to Baltimore, but the Browns' records and history would stay in Cleveland, before reviving the Browns as an expansion team in 1999.. Steelers owner Dan Rooney was one of only two NFL team owners to oppose the move, and in their last matchup in the 1995 season, Steelers fans wore orange armbands to honor their rivals. Even the Affably Evil villain Dukat also held an unrequited view of Sisko as this, until " Waltz", in which Sisko pushes Dukat to a Heel Realization, with the undesired effect of Dukat embracing his villainy and becoming unambiguously evil. Charles Xavier and Magneto, despite wildly differing views on mutants and their role in normal society, get on fairly well. When Genosha got blown up, Xavier even went to help Mags clean up.

On Psych, master thief Despereaux is impressed when Shawn is the first to figure out that his "robberies" are really just taking stuff so the owners can cash in on the insurance. Seeing Shawn a bit let down by this, Pierre decides to become a thief for real. He and Shawn clash a few more times but also work together as clearly Despereaux appreciates Shawn's smarts and the challenge of beating him. The Riddler lives to go head-to-head with Batman, the only person he believes to be a worthy challenge for his intellect. Some fans believe this makes him stupid for constantly giving away clues to what he's going to do, but the Riddler doesn't care about money or material objects. All he cares about is having his Worthy Opponent's full attention and the thrill of the game. Likewise, Apocalypse has a great deal of respect for the X-Men, and usually skims off their members for new Horsemen, on the grounds that they have more than proved themselves to be "fit" in his Social Darwinist world-view. He even willingly submits to Xavier and Magneto in the new mutant nation of Krakoa - though that might have also had something to do with his recent Break the Haughty experiences at the hands of Nate Grey, whose power and skill led Apocalypse to grudgingly deem him "a ruler worthy of the counsel of Apocalypse". Most prominently, though, he respects Nate's counterpart and half-brother, Cable, who is his eternal enemy and most dangerous opponent.The Doctor actually viewed Sec, a Dalek, as this. He considered Sec the "cleverest Dalek ever", the only one capable of redeeming the Daleks. Naturally... However, the college football rivalry (and to a lesser extent, the rivalry in other sports) between Army and Navy has to be the best example of this. Although the two teams are fierce rivals on the field, and cries of "Beat Army!" and "Beat Navy!" are heard year-round, they have high respect for each other, knowing that in a few years, they could be fighting alongside each other on a real battlefield. At the end of each game, the winning team joins the student body of the losing team in singing that school's alma mater, and then the losers join in with the winners to sing theirs. In the episode " The Squire of Gothos", it is clear that Trelane regards Kirk in this manner. Indeed, Trelane treats the entire encounter with Kirk and the Enterprise crew as an elaborate game.

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: It turns out that many of the servants of Khorne are absolutely delighted that Sigmar created the Stormcast Eternals — basically the Einherjar of Norse Mythology. After thousands of years of slaughtering defenceless weaklings, they've finally got a real fight on their hands. Elseworlds story Superman 1939 #215: "Lois Lane...Dead...Yet Alive" involved a minor villain named Dimension Master killing Lois Lane, and Superman having to deal with it. Dimension Master then has his shapeshifter wife briefly disguise herself as Lois just to further torment him. At this, Dimension Master is suddenly defeated by Luthor and Brainiac. Supes asks in astonishment why they are helping him, and they tell him that even though they are his enemies, they respect him, and they couldn't stand watching D.M.'s pointless cruelty. The 19th Century opera "Prince Igor" by Alexander Borodin, taking place in the semi-legelndary times of Medieval Russia, includes a dialogue between the Polovtsian Khan Konchak and his enemy, the Russian Prince Igor of the title, who had been defeated and captured by the Polovtsians. The Khan asks Igor if all is well ( Konchak's Aria) and he replies that the falcon cannot live in captivity. Konchak says that as Igor did not ask for mercy he is not a prisoner but an honoured guest equal to a Khan. Igor reminds him that he too knows what it is to be a captive. Konchak offers Igor freedom if he will promise not to wage war on him again, but he refuses saying he cannot lie. Konchak regrets that they were not born to be allies. They would then have captured all of Russia. He summons the Polovtsian slaves to entertain Igor and himself and offers Igor his choice of them. As the slaves dance the Polovtsy sing of Konchak's glory ( Polovtsian Dances). In a later part of the opera Igor manages to escape, which makes the Khan respect him all the more. Rex initially sees Makoto as just a Warm-Up Boss for his later challenges against Espa and Joey. Not only does he change his tune and see Makoto as someone that can keep up with him, He doesn't get to go after his desired challenges against Espa and Joey because Makoto beats him. Iron Man also counts in this. Although Doom's never quite forgiven him for declining Doom's exceedingly generous offer to become one of Doom's minions, he seems to have gotten over that whole " destroyed your plans of domination for Camelot" thing, which is pretty impressive, considering that Doom isn't usually the forgiving sort.Over the course of MsChif's career, Daizee Haze and Amazing Kong went from "worst enemies" to "favorite enemies". In SHIMMER, MsChif held up Serena Deeb as a worthy opponent, in direct contrast to Sara Del Rey. Star Trek: The Next Generation: Also Romulan, Commander Sela was Data's Worthy Foe — a concept the series constantly beat us over the head and chest with whenever Sela showed up. Rasslor: Incredible. I could crush your body, I could smash your bones, but I could NEVER break your spirit. New Gods: While a terrible parent to all of his children, Darkseid actually respects his son Orion despite actively opposing him and everything he stands for; unlike his loyal son Kalibak who isn't that bright and somewhat incompetent, Orion is a highly competent warrior. This is entirely one-sided, though, as Orion despises Darkseid and his biological relatives, though this doesn't stop Kalibak from being immensly jealous of Orion. user-uploaded templates using the search input, or hit "Upload new template" to upload your own template
