This is what it said Barbatos from DC Comics and The Scarlet King from the SCP Foundation are both extremely powerful beings, but they exist in very different narrative worlds, so the outcome of a fight between them is speculative and would depend on the interpretation of their abilities and roles in their respective universes.
Barbatos (DC Comics)
Barbatos is an ancient entity associated with darkness, chaos, and the collapse of universes in the DC multiverse. As a hyper-dimensional being, he controls the Dark Multiverse and was instrumental in the events of Dark Nights: Metal. Barbatos can corrupt universes, manipulate reality, and has immense cosmic power, having manipulated even characters like Batman for centuries. His power is multiversal in scope, allowing him to bend entire realities to his will.
The Scarlet King (SCP Foundation)
The Scarlet King is an enigmatic, malevolent entity from the SCP Foundation universe, often portrayed as an embodiment of chaos, destruction, and hatred. His influence is vast, though much of his nature is shrouded in mystery. The Scarlet King is said to be an entity outside of normal reality, with cults and entities tied to him that seek to unravel or destroy creation itself. In some interpretations, the Scarlet King is powerful enough to challenge and destroy entire universes and reality layers.
Key Points of Comparison
Power Level: Both are depicted as multiversal threats. Barbatos operates on a cosmic scale within DC's multiverse, while The Scarlet King is a looming apocalyptic force in the SCP lore.
Reality Manipulation: Both have the ability to manipulate or destroy realities, though Barbatos has been more directly involved in corrupting and collapsing universes in the DC multiverse. The Scarlet King's exact capabilities are more abstract but suggest immense destructive potential.
Followers and Influence: Barbatos has a history of manipulating powerful beings like Batman and other heroes, while The Scarlet King has a devoted cult and influence over a vast number of SCPs (creatures/entities in SCP lore).
Who Would Win?
The answer depends on how one interprets the nature of each entity:
Barbatos might have an edge in direct reality manipulation and cosmic-scale planning due to his established feats within the structured DC multiverse, where he has defeated and manipulated some of DC's most powerful beings.
The Scarlet King, however, is often viewed as an abstract, primordial force of chaos that threatens to unravel
