* BadassNormal: Well, for varying values of "normal." Rand is a PhysicalGod and one of the most powerful magic-users ''in the history of fiction'', at one point taking on an army of a hundred thousand by himself without breaking a sweat. Mat is BornLucky, has an AntiMagic artifact, a spear, and his Eelfin PastLifeMemories. That's it... but part of the fun Robert Jordan has in the series is PlayingWith PowerLevels without actually marking them up. Mat is Rand's equal in physical combat, can use his luck to his advantage, can NoSell magic in a way Rand cannot, and is unquestionably a better tactician, at one point winning a battle for Rand by ''trying to run away from it''. (See "YouCantFightFate" below for more details.)
