JC Denton vs. Adam Jensen

[Crab Rangoon]

Who do you think would win in a fight? I know many of the original veterans of Deus Ex would say JC would win, but let's all agree, Jensen would put up a good fight. Why would you think one of them would win over the other? I just want to start a friendly debate, please, no rude commenting.

[Drahcir0]

somebody could please do a List for JC like I did for Jensen?

[ZaneKiryu]

Hell, I'll do a whole death battle video showing each Jenson's and JC's strengths and drawbacks

[Ultra Smurf]

One thing to take into consideration with JC is that he has limited room for Augments, if he choses one he can't use the others where as Jensen has full access to his Aument tree.

[ZaneKiryu]

Of course. It may take a bit of time and I'll be sure to look at each of them objectively when I make this video comparing them

Please do! Everyone here would be very interested! Thank you for doing that!

Adam Jensen does have certain advantages in the offensive weapon department (Typhoon), but lacks some of the defensive advantages that JC Denton has. For example, JC has a longer-sustained sprint function, has the option of health regeneration or energy shield, and his dermal ballistic armor is more effective (I've lasted longer as JC at highest difficulty than Jensen). JC also has the capability of stopping incoming missiles--would that work against Typhoon projectiles? I don't know. JC doesn't have as many "slots" for augmentations, but he makes up for it by accumulating experience points skills such as hacking and weapon handling.

I'm inclined to believe that JC would outlast Jensen in a protracted fight. For Jensen to win, he'd have to act quickly.

[RE:Deemer]

We totally need a Death Battle video.

[ZaneKiryu]

Considering that I'm not as familiar with the Specs of JC as I am with Jenson, and since the information available about JC online in minimal and sketchy at best, I may need a bit of help from those of you who really know JC's mechanics and stats

That would be quite a sight to see: JC & Adam going at each other with appliances... "Guns, we don't need no stinking guns!"

(Necroing this because it was relevant to a conversation I was having with a friend) JC Denton proved that he could take on the older models of cyborg, [see Navarre and Hermann, who were far more advanced than Jensen] and his augmentations are more powerful and varietous.

[Lar Dass]

I first said JC when this game came out but when i saw the mankind divided trailer Jensen for sure!

[voldgamer]

jenson would win the fight

JC Denton (by the end of the original game) should beat Jensen fairly easily, IF we can hold several assumptions.

First, technology has advanced between Deus Ex HR/MD and the original DE (in world). Therefore, any augment abilities they share, JC's augments should be clearly superior in function. Any similar weapons would be equal or clearly in JC's favor.

Second, in terms of personnel skill, let's assume JC and Adam are approximately equal.

Third, let's assume we're not stuck operating on their specific games mechanics, and try and draw real-world conclusions based on things we see them do in game.

Specific ability comparisons (I'm assuming full upgrades on both characters, though in several cases, JC must choose between different upgrade options):

At max rank leg augments, JC can run circles around enemies who are unable to track him with gunfire. Similar to Jensen's stealth augments, he can do so completely silently.

Physical strength - We don't have perfect metrics here. Jensen picks up a dumpster, JC lifts large crates of unknown material and contents that I recall being on similar size scale to dumpsters. I'll assume their maximum strength is similar.

Both can resist or ignore environmental damage from electricity or toxins. JC alternatively further resist flame and plasma attacks.

JC can breath underwater. Adam is never shown to do this in the game, but presumably he could breath underwater for an extended period.

JC can regenerate any non-fatal damage. Jensen has a more limited health recovery.

Both characters can turn invisible. JC can also alternatively get an ability that hides him from any sensors (aka, Adam's augs) but leaves him visible to normal sight.

Both characters have 'armor' effects that protect them from bullets and knives

Both characters have eye augmentations that allow them to functionally see through walls. If JC takes the radar transparency however, this could work against Jensen as he might walk around a corner directly into him.

Finally, we have Jensen's Typhoon system which is probably his biggest trump card against JC. In the game, Jensen is able to spam this against most other augmented opponents (aka bosses) and defeat them easily. However, JC has a counter. One of his augments is the Aggressive Defence System, which detonates objects before they reach the agent. The result is that the bombs could potentially explode inside Jensen, or the moment they leave his body.

It's a bit hard to believe that I originally commented in here almost 4 years ago and it's still getting replies. Now I almost feel obligated to pit them against each other in a Death Battle of Screw Attack or Deadliest Warrior proportions
