Battle of the Week: Monarch vs Mordu

This week we have a battle between two of DC most powerful characters. JSA Villain Mordu takes on Monarch. Credit to @life_without_progress for suggesting the battle

Rules

• Combatants are in character.
• This is a random encounter (no prep for either side). PRe 52 versions for both. 20th century Mordu
• They're fighting in a generic city setting. It takes place during midday and they start roughly 100 feet apart and visible. Everything in the city (let's say the city is the size of Manhattan and surrounded by ocean) is on limits.
• Incapacitation, knockout, BFR (battlefield removal, which means knocking someone so far away that the fight cannot continue in the very near future) or death all count as elimination. Making a tactical retreat counts as a loss, too. "What's a tactical retreat?" It's leaving the fight with the intention of not returning to the battle in the immediate future. Going to another spot in the environment to catch your breath for a moment or two or for a tactical advantage is not a tactical retreat.
• Treating everyone else in the debate with respect is a sign of a good debater. If you think someone's saying something that just isn't true, go ahead and stick to the facts to point out why. There's no need at all to drop insults just because you disagree with someone. This is just talking about a fictional fight, there's no need for immaturity and mudslinging about fan fic.
• If you think the votes aren't going how they should, making an informative post about why a character is being underestimated and spreading the word is far more useful than complaining.
• One more thing: you don't need to write an essay to have your post highlighted in the Results thread. Sometimes concise posts can be way more effective than a flood of paragraphs. Viner posts that stand out will be included at the end.
• Votes last till late Saturday , and the votes will be posted in the OP to see where combatants stand by Saturday. Votes do not determine who wins, only who the majority at the time sides with.

Special thanks to @k4tzm4n for allowing me and other users to continue making these battle of the week threads.
