ROFLMAO missbunny!!!

Jab1, I love this thread! It really is a hoot!

Christopher Reeves will always be Superman to me. Steve Reeves was just too frumpy and straight. And he was flabby and his Superman tights showed his gut! eewww! The new kid is just a total loser, no charisma whatsoever. Christopher, OTOH, had it all: Good looks(great eyes, great smile and great hair), his tights fit him properly, he had a great sense of humor, could look nerdy and clumsy or dashing and studly, he spoke well as far as enunciation and emphasis, plus, he flew around the world really fast to reverse time-that’s just cool!

So, I give it to Chris on this one.  
How about Anne Rice vs. Stephen King?

**George** Reeves was Superman.

**Steve** Reeves was Hercules.

They were not related.

Look at the early B&W episodes of George as Superman. He was very lean and trim and looked the part. It was in the later color episodes where he got flabby.

TRIVIA NOTE: Red and blue do not look “right” in black-and-white. So George’s costume in the B&W episodes was actually dark brown (for the red parts) and grey (for the blue) and white (for the yellow).

Whoops! Sorry about that. Nevertheless, Superman should _never_ get fat! I’m sticking with my man Christopher on this one. 😉

Aunt Jemima would most definitely lay the smackdown on Betty’s ass.

They both need to die, hopefully they’d destroy each other.

Are you _kidding_!!! Felix would bust out his bag of tricks and waste that fat ass Garfield.

I do believe RB has “special powers”. SS can only bake and sing. I figure they’d dance around for a while until the Care Bears showed up and ate them both.

Baby Huey is a wuss, he’d wimp out quick. If no dirty stuff were involved, Garfield would win, but I think in the eating melee Fat Al might accidentally eat Garfield.

Spped Racer, because Pops would talk so fast everyone else’s heads would explode. And everybody knows the Mach 5 is the fastest car there is!

> **Bill Nye the Science Guy vs. Beakman?**

Does Beakman get that little ratty sidekick of his? If so, he gets an edge. But I still think Bill Nye’s stronger knowledge of science (and pointy chin) would vanquish them. But Mr. Wizard could blow them both up without breaking a sweat.

> **Kevin Sorbo Hercules vs. Steve Reeves Hercules?**

Turns into a posing contest instantly. Then Lou Ferrigno, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Reg Park, Kirk Morris, Alan Steel, Mark Forest, Mickey Hargitay, Dan Vadis, and Gordon Scott demand a piece of the action. With so much sweat in the air, all succum to testosterone poisoning. Disney’s Hercules wins by default.

> **Disney’s Tarzan vs. Johnny Weismuller Tarzan?**

Johhny rips his arms off and stuffs them down his throat in 2.3 seconds. So the animators redraw him. Fast forward six hours, Johnny finally get winded, so Disney boy grabs him and scrapes his face off using him as a tree-surfboard.

> **George Reeves Superman vs. Christopher Reeve Superman vs. Dean Cain Superman?**

Dean worries about his hair, Chris worries if the camera’s showing his good side, and George pummels them both senseless. Then Chris wines and cries until George lets him go, and he spins the Earth backward to try again. He still gets beat up.

> [@](#):

> **Justice League vs. The Avengers.**

They both get too confused just trying to figure out where in continuity the story is. “Iron Man? Are you a white guy or a black one in there?” “Is Superman just late, or is not a member anymore?” “What the hell is _Vibe_ doing here?” They all go to a bar and swap war stories, none of which they can really remember because history has changed too many times.

> [@](#):

> **Data vs C3PO.**

Hm. Data is possibly the only being that C3PO could _not_ bore to death. But I don’t see Data beating up on the gold geek, either. I think they sit down for a long long talk that would make the brains run out the ears of anyone unfortunate enough to listen in. (Add Marvin the Paranoid Android to that crew and you’d really have a party!)  
OK, now let’s do:

Maggie Thatcher vs. Tony Blair  
Ronald Reagan (either senile or not) vs. Bill Clinton  
Heckle & Jeckle vs. Chip & Dale

> Tom Jones vs Wayne Newton

Depends. Would they be in Branson MO, or Las Vegas? If they’re in Branson, Wayne Newton has performed there more, and would have the audience on his side. After one verse of “It’s Not Unusual” the audience would be jeering Tom Jones for being a 50-year old man still wearing leather pants, and he would be run out of town on a rail.

In Vegas, however, both would lose. In the middle of the Wayne and Tom showdown, Seigfried and Roy show up, and their big cats eat both Tom and Wayne, then turn on Seigfried and Roy, not for mistreating them, but just on general principles.

Then the big cats hit the Circus Circus for an all-you-can-eat slot player buffet.

The Olsen twins are just pure EVIL. So, techically acording to the laws of good Vs. evil, they would have to loose, but only after mortally wounding the grape juice girl. Then her partner would become so distraught over the loss of her lover she whould drink poison, only to see that the grape juice girl was really just passed out, then she wakes up and finds that the pepsi chick is dead so takes the pitchfork from Mary Kate and jams it into her chest ending it all saving the world from terror.

I can only hope.

Up next : Jean Claude Van Damme and Stehpen Segall VS.  
Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Aw, come on!!! I’d kick his detective ass in a… oh. You mean the characters? Same result. Zaphod’s got 3 arms, and all Gently has is a shaky relation to Thor. Zaphod could put him in a reverse armbar and punch him on his (previously broken) nose with his free arm.
