That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever spent ten minutes laughing uncontrollably at. 
Can we get Scrappy Doo and Uni in there too?
He-Man. He has the Batman-type “never lose” mojo going for him. I challenge you to describe even one time that things didn’t work out exactly right for He-Man.Vader, on the other hand, has had things turn to shit for him any number of times.
BTW, are we differentiating between animated He-Man and Dolph Lundgren He-Man or shall we consider them the same for purposes of discussion?
No way! He’s totally protected during that animation sequence! The animators couldn’t be buggered to do it over and over again for each episode so it’s always the same footage without baddies.
They become lovers. Think about it.
Darth Vader: Ever since the molten lava burned off his genitals he’s been unable to have normal sexual relations with the opposite sex. The only sexual pleasure he can derive is from having his prostate manipulated. He spends all day ordering people around, killing them, and just generally being the boss. When he gets home he just wants to kick back, relax, and let someone else take charge for change.
He-Man: Who is He-Man? Why he’s mild mannered Prince Adam how is quite the fall flower. Except when he puts on his butch He-Man outfit and suddenly becomes a dominant, well, he-man.
Adam (He-Man) and Vader have the perfect relationship. They’re both hiding their true identity, few people know who Vader was before he got the leather daddy suit, and they must hide who they are from the general public. It is only when they embrace one another that they can let their true identity show.

I don’t have a clue who Orko is, but I hope he wins.
Hell, I’d loan him my Mossberg.
On the basis of identifying musical motifs, I’d go with Vader. I dunno anything about the music from the Conan movie, but we all know the “Imperial March” and even that little flourish that announces Vader’s first entrance, when boarding Leia’s ship.
If they meet with the “Imperial March” being performed at the scene by, say, the OSU Marching Band, then the fight has a foregone conclusion.
Good gad. :rolleyes:
The Berlin Philharmonic. Seated on a large platform supported by two Imperial walkers.
That’s ridiculous. Prince Adam couldn’t be He-Man! Their clothes are completely different.
Orko was He-Man’s annoying sidekick. Little incompetent wizard who’s face was always hidden by the shadows cast by his wizard hat, so all you really saw where his yellow eyes.
I think Orko’s got this in the bag; however inept he may be, he still has magic. What’s Jar-Jar got, a tongue? Ooh, he’s a good swimmer! :rolleyes:
As to the OP; If the good guy always wins rule is in effect, He-Man. Otherwise Darth Vader has it in the bag. That’s even giving Prince Adam the benefit of the doubt that he’d be in his He-Man form at the outset, and that the Power Sword’s magic makes it a match for a lightsaber.
Battlecat’s a non-issue. He’s a mount, and as we all know, no heroic swordfight is going to be decided by a mount. Fiction just doesn’t work that way.
PS. MGibson that was just terrifying.
I know that Robot Chicken Darth Vader would whoop the snot out of that sissy-boy Robot Chicken He-Man.
Y’see, He-Man stands a chance. Even if Darth Vader manages to capture or otherwise detain all of He-Man’s allies, they will eventually make their way to the fight. He’s got a decent contingent of competent allies.
Who does Vader have? I mean, Storm Troopers can’t hit the broad side of an asteroid with a blaster. A group of them somehow managed to murder Owen and Beru with a side of Jawas, I think entirely by coincidence.
So, multiple heroes vs. anonymous bad guys. Bad matchup.
Now, let’s say you get some bounty hunters involved… Now it’s an interesting fight.
What, you mean like the guy whose most notable achievement was to jetpack himself into a millenial digestive system? Or maybe the fellow who may or may not have missed his target at a range of half a meter (if he even got off a shot at all), before getting blasted under the table? If you’re trying to give Vader a chance, there, it’s not working.
Are we talking about the early 1980’s He-Man or the one that was redone a few years ago on Cartoon Network? While I agree that the former was quite the pussy, the latter was actually pretty badass. Man-At-Arms wasn’t a completely incompetent fool, Battle Cat wasn’t always cracking wise, and Prince Adam only resembled He-Man inasmuch as they could be brothers.
Vader still wins, though.
By the POWER OF GRA eck ACkk ekk
I’m in tears imagining it right now and I don’t know why.
glee wins the thread.
I can’t quite believe the answer is so blindingly obvious:
He Man (if he’s prepared)
Well, we must suspend the “Good Guys Always Win,” else it’s He-Man, no contest. He’s the Good Guy.
Suspending tha rule…
…if Vader’s in all-out Kill Mode (and not toying with him in an effort to turn him to the Dark Side, as he did with Luke in TESB), he wipes the floor (and the walls, and even the ceiling, too) with He-Man. At a distance. Without even breaking a sweat.
Allies can do nothing but slow down the inevitable confrontation between the main good guy and main bad guy. I suspect Vader would wave his hand, and they’d all end up in the next channel. Allies never get killed, just put out of commission.
I’m going with Vader. without him even taxing his breathing equipment.
Vader could use his knowledge of road-crossing safety .
He-Man : “Any last words???”
Vader : "yes…TRUCK! "
I too give the edge to Darth Vader, but I don’t think He Man has been given proper credit. He is the most powerful man in the universe…oh yeah and he can circle his sword in the air and make tornadoes and stuff.
