Random Fictional Wizard Win In A Magical Mega-Duel (20 items)

• 

  (#18) Babidi

  • Dragon Ball

  Reputation: As a ruthless and sadistic alien wizard who antagonizes the Dragon Ball Z universe, Babidi is single-minded, merciless, and insulting. He mocks, belittles, and slays in his pursuit of domination and power.

  Beard Length: No beard, exactly, although his facial protrusions resemble whiskers.

  Strengths: He possesses intense magical powers that he can access and use through the force of his will. In addition to his litany of dangerous spells, Babidi can manipulate people by bending their minds, and project energy force fields to repel strikes.

  Weaknesses: Physically, he's very frail and depends on his magic to protect him. Additionally, he's incredibly arrogant and overconfident in his abilities - a trait that causes him to underestimate his opponents. Finally, when he finds himself in actual danger, he becomes something of a coward.

  Greatest Proclamation of Wisdom: "Spare the Supreme Kai for now. For what he did to my father, I will take my own sweet time with his destruction." - Dragon Ball Z
• 

  (#2) Doctor Strange

  • Dr. Strange, Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme, Marvel Universe

  Reputation: Once one of the world's greatest surgeons, Dr. Stephen Strange is now one of its most powerful sorcerers. He's brash, cocky, arrogant, and talented enough to back up all of his bravado. He's helped save the world on more than one occasion, and is dedicated to defending Earth against evil magical forces.

  Beard Length: Short-cropped, well-manicured beard-goatee combo.

  Strengths: He is an amazingly fast learner, a naturally adept sorcerer, and a brilliant human being who formerly possessed the time stone (AKA the Eye of Agamotto), which allowed him to look into the future. He's also a companion to a magical flying cape that has saved his life more than once.

  Weaknesses: He's unabashedly arrogant and vain, and believes he knows more than everyone else. His cockiness can lead him into situations against surprisingly powerful opponents, and his vain entitlement can easily be prodded and provoked.

  Greatest Proclamation of Wisdom: "If I tell you what happens, it won't happen." - Avengers: Endgame
• 

  (#5) Professor Severus Snape

  • Harry Potter Universe

  Reputation: Contemptuous, short-tempered, and often vindictive, Snape isn't a beloved instructor at Hogwarts by any stretch of the imagination. However, he is an undeniably skilled wizard, quick to the draw with his wand, and brilliant at potions.

  Beard Length: Snape is not described as having a beard in the books, and is depicted as clean shaven in the films. However, Mary GrandPré, the illustrator of the US Scholastic editions of the books, does draw Snape with an oily goatee.

  Strengths: He's nearly unmatched when it comes to potion-making. He's also a master of occlumency, making his mind almost impervious to magical intrusion and penetration.

  Weaknesses: He's incredibly vain and defensive when it comes to his intellect and his skills. He's also got a huge chip on his shoulder over his life's mission to secretly watch over and guide The Boy Who Lived.

  Greatest Proclamation of Wisdom: "The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter - or at least, most minds are." - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, J.K. Rowling
• 

  (#12) Raistlin Majere

  • Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragonlance

  Reputation: Considered to be one of the most powerful archmages to ever exist in the world of the Dragonlance Chronicles, Raistlin has gold skin and eyeglass-shaped pupils, which curse him to see the ravages of time on all things. He has a reputation for arrogance, and his tempestuous personality precedes him, but he's rightly famous for being one of the Heroes of the Lance and defeating the aptly named Queen of Darkness.

  Beard Length: No beard at all.

  Strengths: Aside from his naturally powerful ability to cast magic, he's also got the wildly powerful Staff of Magius, which he can use to float in the air or teleport. It can also function as a tactical instrument.

  Weaknesses: Raistlin harnessed the force of his magic out of insecurity about his own frailness. He's small, physically unimposing - and bitter about it. He's entirely untrustworthy and has built up a cadre of enemies whom he's betrayed.

  Greatest Proclamation of Wisdom: "Hope is the denial of reality. It is the carrot dangled before the draft horse to keep him plodding along in a vain attempt to reach it." - Dragons of Winter Night, Margaret Weis
• 

  (#13) Shazam

  Reputation: Living in a lair known as the Rock of Eternity, the wizard Shazam is responsible for imbuing young Billy Batson with his magical powers. A reclusive and extremely powerful wizard, he could be considered a god in his own right. Known by his true name, Mamaragan, the wizard looks for a champion to defend the world against evil forces.

  Beard Length: Almost 1 foot long, thick, and bushy in his older age.

  Strengths: The wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, the speed of Mercury.

  Weaknesses: Despite his impressive longevity, he has grown old over the centuries and cannot fight with the same fury as he once could, which is why he's been looking for a pure-hearted champion.

  Greatest Proclamation of Wisdom: "You must say it with purpose. With belief. With good intentions. With thoughts of your parents and your family. Say it and you will be transformed into your greatest potential. Say 'Shazam!'" - Shazam
• 

  (#16) Jafar

  • Disney's House of Mouse, Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, Aladdin, The Return of Jafar, Aladdin, Aladdin, Jr.

  Reputation: As the Grand Vizier of Agrabah and the Sultan's most trusted adviser, Jafar is one of the most powerful people in the kingdom. However, with his snake staff and bad-guy facial hair, he's obviously a villain to anyone who isn't completely oblivious.

  Beard Length: Around 6 inches of well-groomed goatee, curled in an overtly villainous manner.

  Strengths: Before he ever became a genie, he was a powerful sorcerer (and, briefly, the most powerful sorcerer), and through it all, his biggest defining strength was his propensity for manipulation. More than simply using magic, he could bend people - namely the Sultan - to his whim.

  Weaknesses: Greed for power is Jafar's ultimate foible. He'll do anything to become more and more powerful, even at the expense of his own self-interest.

  Greatest Proclamation of Wisdom: "A snake, am I? Perhaps you'd like to see how sssnake-like I can be!" - Aladdin (1992)
