* SpiritualAntithesis: This episode's one to "Deadpool Vs. The Mask"; both episodes are blatant {{Curb Stomp Battle}}s that make absolutely no effort to hide how screwed the person getting stomped (Deadpool and Aquaman respectively) is, but while the former episode was a deliberate UriahGambit to get [[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave Deadpool]] taken care of, this one has the hosts (more specifically Wiz) genuinely believe Aquaman had a fighting chance... only to slowly realize over the course of the episode that Aquaman has absolutely no way of winning.

Aquaman proved that he bore the mark of a true hero in fighting against such insurmountable odds, but alas, Wiz and Boomstick spare no expense to hammer down how the Super Friend really had no chance winning this bout. Arthur only really had some martial prowess going for him, but the vast majority of [=SpongeBob=]'s advantages simply had him beat. For starters, [=SpongeBob=] could basically do anything he wanted given the creation powers afforded to him by the magic pencil and his bubbles, and due to his nature as a sentient sea sponge, it would stand to reason that he would be able to absorb the vast majority of Aquaman's water-based attacks. Aquaman may have tried to use his telepathy, but even beyond the fact that it would be nowhere near his comic counterpart's and would thus be something [=SpongeBob=] could outright ignore, a Krabby Patty would be enough to break any form of mind control Aquaman could apply. Not only that, but [=SpongeBob=]'s absurd healing factor made it difficult for Aquaman to actually put him down permanently; the hosts theorize that he could potentially incapacitate [=SpongeBob=] long enough by dragging him to the surface, but this would in turn lead to Aquaman himself suffering fatal side effects from being out of water -- side effects that would be far worse than what [=SpongeBob=] would go through.

This all would be for naught considering [=SpongeBob=]'s insane strength and speed advantage, based on his feat of unraveling the universe. By comparing his size to that of the string he pulled to enact said unraveling, the hosts determine that [=SpongeBob=]'s maximum top speed would be somewhere around 8.2 x 10^78 times the speed of light -- the ''fastest'' calculable speed feat in the show's history to boot. With such great power at his mere fingertips, Wiz and Boomstick theorize that [=SpongeBob=] would've even been able to best comic book Aquaman, especially noting that [=SpongeBob=] himself is aware of the fourth wall and can create anything he wants even without bubbles or his pencil. Overall, while both fighters had enough showings to prove that they were a lot stronger than what most would peg them as, the Krusty Krab's resident fry cook was simply just too overpowered and more, marking one of the most decisive victories ever seen in Death Battle history.
