Five characters from my fics Zeb can beat (and five he can't)
Zeb is a strong Lasat, who wields a bo-rifle. That makes him mighty in both melee and ranged combat. His technology and skills put them above a normal person, but how far is his ceiling? Whom can he beat?
Can: Nessie
Nessie, the dhampire, who has telepathy, has strengths and weaknesses similar to the vampires. However, she is not a good fighter, and Zeb can make his bo-rifle a blaster, which allows him to take her down through heat.
Can't: Ah'tilla
Ah'tilla is a Yuuzhan Vong warlord, who can turn his staff into something else, just like Zeb himself. While Zeb can certainly defeat Yuuzhan Vong soldiers, Ah'tilla is much stronger than them. His bioelectric amphistaff allows him to win tough fights, and his Blast Bugs can blow Zeb up from afar.
Can: Kaeden
Kaeden is essentially an evil Poe Dameron, being a dangerous ace pilot who can also fight on foot in his prime. But while Kaeden is skilled, he is relatively weak, while Zeb is both skilled and strong. Also, Zeb's arsenal is more powerful.
Can't: High Priest Kor
Kor is a Dark Side user, and a cultist of Emperor Palpatine. He can use a lightsaber, a blaster and the standard Dark Side abilities. Zeb is not a Force user, and even if his bo-rifle and durability can allow him to survive a wound or two, he will submit to the Force Lightning.
Can: Jonnie Goodboy Tyler
This is a tough fight for Zeb, as both are physically very strong people with skills in both melee and ranged combat. Ultimately, Zeb does have one single advantage: he is much more experienced against strong foes. He also has no clear disadvantage.
Can't: Charlotte Kato
The Charlotte family has some of the toughest villains in Stormwolf. Among them is Kato, who is a swordsman with a pumpkin for a head. Kato is above Zeb because he is much faster, and also is way more skilled. His ability to twist his limbs unnaturally helps him deal with the versatility of the bo-rifle.
Can: Leach Loathsom
Loathsom might not be weak, as he can fight Swift for a bit, but he is still not an elite warrior like Zeb is. The bo-rifle will be too much for the Kerkoiden.
Can't: The Loyalist
The Loyalist is a mix of a Stormtrooper and a demon, and has the best of both worlds. He is fast, wields a blaster and a Riot Baton, and knows how to use them. Current Zeb probably would beat Nines, but he would not beat him as the demonic Loyalist, because even if he fights off the baton, he will be burned by the Hellfire. It took a Jedi Knight to complete his training for the Loyalist to lose, and Zeb hasn't reached that level.
Can: Magnaguards
Zeb is maybe one of the best counters for one of the most serious Battle Droid types in the Galaxy. The Magnaguards are terrifying in melee, and usually only vulnerable in long range. Only really good Jedi can take them down in close range. But Zeb has his bo-rifle, which can parry their attacks in close range, or shoot and destroy them from afar, meaning it's one of the best weapons against them. He is also strong enough to take a hit from their staves and even punch them.
Can't: Prokop
Zeb is strong, but he is still not the strongest member of Stormwolf. One of his betters is Prokop, an Unchained One with similar physical strength... and also the Force. Prokop uses a blaster and a lightsaber, so he has no weaknesses Zeb can exploit.
