Green Lantern v. Sinestro – Sinestro is a corrupt renegade from the GL corp, which means they’re more or less evenly matched **and** each understands the other’s outlook. Rather like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader.

No, that’s not it.  
The closest I can find to what I _think_ I saw is [this right here](http://www.catskillcomics.com/davidbeck/redskull.jpg) Imagine that, only with a black backround.

Sarah Conner vs Killer Robots from the Future/SkyNet

The machines have the edge in every way–they’re more durable, stronger, and more determined than is humanly possible. And yet, Sarah’s human refusal to accept the role of weak victim means she’s the unbeatable one–The robots don’t want to face John Connor, but Sarah is the one that should really scare them.
