Doctor Who vs. Sherlock Holmes. So close they might have to wrestle at the edge of a waterfall to decide it. I wager Holmes trips on the scarf and falls to his death. Roland (Dark Tower series) vs. The Saint of Killers (Preacher). I think Roland could outdraw him, shoot the guns out of his hands, maybe. Garrett (Thief) vs. Nightcrawler. Kurt’s better with a sword but Garrett’s got a bow. Over more quickly… Freddy vs. Wolverine. “Those aren’t claws, bub.” SNIKT. ---

Thats right, people, keep ‘em comin’! Size vs size, strength vs strength, skill vs skill. Pit roughly equall technologies against each other. And, the “versus” dosent necessarily have to be a physcal fight, but perhaps a race, a debate, or just who can out do the other in a custom-made challenge: Jughead vs Dagwood vs Shaggy in an all-you-can-eat contest Superman vs The Flash in a race around the world Mr Spock vs Mr Data in a game of chess Ten-Foreward vs Mos Eisley Cantina…who’s got the better Happy hour? LexCorp vs Wayne Enterprises in a bidding war to gain control of S.T.A.R.Labs Jackie Chan vs Evel Kenevel…who’s got MORE broken bones ---

Superman in the Star Wars galaxy Neo hacks his brain into the terminator’s skynet Mr Spock transports to the far future and discovers the Mentats of DUNE Secret origins of Dr Hannibal Lechter in Arkham Asylum Revealed!–ALIENS are breed of insects developed by Predators to be the ultimate prey…but got a little out of hand.

> [@](#): > > Ten-Foreward vs Mos Eisley Cantina…who’s got the better Happy hour? Oh, come on, this one’s not even a contest. On the one hand, you’ve got violent death and dismemberment…on the other hand, you’ve got “synthahol”. _Alien_ vs. _E.T., the Extraterrestrial_ E.T.: [points at heart with glowing finger] "Ouch!..“OUUCH!”… **"OOOUUUUCH!!!"** ---

The Flash uses the speedforce to help him overcome inertia, giving him better high speed manuverability. He knows a ton of speed tricks, and can vibrate his molecules to pass through solid objects. Quicksilver _might_ be faster than the speed of sound. Flash can run at lightspeed. The fight would literally be over in a blink of an eye. I like the Vision vs. Manhunter matchup: I could see that one going either way. A few I’d like to see: Captain Marvel vs. Thor (It was done in the Marvel/DC crossover, but I don’t think it was very fair Captain Marvel. I think he’d give goldilocks more of a fight). Batman, without costume or utility belt, vs. Bruce Lee in a well-lit closed room. Dracula vs. Obi Wan. Babylon5 vs. DS9. Steel vs. Iron Man. Galactus vs. William Shatner to see who can be more melodramatic (Shatner already wins the Biggest Ego award). Clint Eastwood’s character from Unforgiven vs. Dirty Harry. Handicap match: JDT and the moon hoax conspiretors vs. Common Sense. A young Robin Williams vs. Jim Carry in a spaz out match. ---
