In some earlier “versus” threads I and others asked who could beat who in various challenges.

Enterprise vs Imperial Star Destroyer  
Jason Voorhees vs Michael Myers  
K.I.T.T. vs Batmobile  
Lorena Bobbit vs O.J.Simpson  
etc.

Who or what could You fight and win?

I figure, I could take on Norman Bates.

Well, I know for a fact I can take on my boyfriend and win… although on further reflection, it’s possible he just doesn’t put up much of a fight when being tackled by a teenage girl.

Let’s see… I always thought the pink power ranger was kind of a wimp. I’d put hard money on my ability take her down.

I would _not_ take on those Power Puff Girls! No way! They are too 🆒

I’m not much of a fighter, so it would have to be someone meek, also not willing to put up a fight and whom I could beat simply with stern looks and slashing commentary.

I’m thinkin’ Dr. Niles Crane from _Frasier_

Me vs. Norm Abrahms.  
Benchtime; 18th century reproduction furniture.  
I’d win.

I’m so modest. 😃

Damn, you guys took all the easy ones. (But good call on the Powerpuff Girls, **Violet** , they are hardcore.)

I just finished watching _Edward Scissorhands_, and I think I could intimidate him with words and intimidating gestures.

And I could maybe take on Verdell from _As Good as it Gets_ if there was a garbage chute in the vicinity.

I could verbally slash Kevin Smith’s Silent Bob to ribbons.

I could beat Darth Vader.  
I would give him a hard time about how he cried over his mom and cried to his girlfriend.  
I’d call him Annie.  
I’d piss him off so bad then when he was so mad he couldn’t see straight I would press all of those buttons on his chest and screw up his breathing systems.

I’m pretty sure I could kick Angelina Jolie’s butt.

I suspect you may have a hard time getting in a even fight with every MTV reporter and their mother’s tripping over themselves to say, “Troy, Troy! Troy!..Um, why are you so great?”

I could take Christina Aguilera. I’d need to do more training before fighting Britney.

Johnny Lipnicki.

I think I could take him.

I’ll bring an old-fashioned beat-down to Howard Stern (and his guest, if they want a piece too!)

I’m pretty sure I could beat the crap out of Frankie Muniz. I _think_ I could also take out Dr. Ruth.

</div>

In a one-on-one fight I think I could take out Dr. Evil, “Victorious” Jay from the Kevin Smith films, and Eminem. Not all at once though.

Oh, and Winona Ryder and Mary Stuart Masterson have an always open invitation to take me on. 😃

I could pummel Lennie for awhile, as long as George doesn’t say “let 'em have it Lennie”.  
I could also beat up Bill Dauterive and Dale Gribble at the same time.
