<font color=lightblue>01) Superman vs Silver Surfer
<font color=green>Superman's got an ego problem, and SS could lure him to a red sun...</font>
<font color=plum>That's how I see it too. I don't know if Silver Surfer's "Power Cosmic" also counts as "mystical energy". If so, then the bolts he shoots from his hands would put a serious hurting on the Man of Steel. In a Giant Sized comic I have of "Captain Marvel vs Superman", Supes was basically beating the dog snot of Captain Marvel...then Marvel realized he could say his famous "Shazam" line and speed away before the Bolt of Lightning that transformed him back and forth between C.M. and Billy Batson struck him. It would then strike Superman and basically put him down for the count, because the bolt WAS considered to be "mystical". Still, Superman is also "cosmically powered" (by a yellow sun), so I think Surfer would have to lure him to a red sun galaxy. Of course, Superman's ego is such that Surfer would just have to fly by on his board, smack Supes in the head, and continue own. Superman would follow at max speed and Surfer would have the advantage in the veritable blink of an eye.
02) Batman vs Daredevil
<font color=green>Batman uses technology -- wouldn't one flashbang grenade bring DD to his knees?</font>
<font color=plum>I don't think a flashbang grenade would affect DD's radar. If it did, the effect would only be temporary. Back in the early 90's, when DC introduced the "new" Robin, Robin ended up making a very powerful enemy of a guy named Kingsnake. The Kingsnake was an expert martial artist and also extremely buff. He was also blind. He won all his fights because he always lured his enemies into a darkened building with the windows blacked out. Fighting without sight usually put them at a severe disadvantage. Batman beat Kingsnake by bringing a pair of night vision goggles with him, so he didn't use a flashbang grenade. Still, Batman had time to prepare for that fight. If he and DD just got into a scrap on the street - or if it was set-up like the infamous crossover farce between DC and Marvel several years ago - I don't know that Batman would have time to grab the right equipment (in that crossover, Batman fought Captain America and defeated him by luring him into a darkened sewer where he could hide and attack from the shadows). DD can dodge bullets, or smack them out of the air with his billy club. In a straight up fight, I think the fact that he can actually anticipate the blows of his opponent, and know where they will hit, would give him the advantage. He can block most blows before they are even thrown by his opponent. He's done that to Bullseye on a numerous occasions.</font>
03) Hulk vs Juggernaut
04) Thor vs Storm
<font color=green>THOR! In the Secret Wars I didn't see Storm go for an afternoon stroll outside...</font>
<font color=plum>Oh Yeah. I forgot about that. I remember that the Human Torch and the Thing were watching him. Johnny Storm commented that the rain would be hitting like .45 slugs and the thunder alone would kill a normal man. When that asked Captain America (I think) WHY Thor would go out in such weather, Cap said that Thor not only enjoyed that kind of weather - but that he was most likely encouraging it!!! In other words, he was using his power to make the storm even more powerful!!! Storm has been described as a goddess (and even worshipped as one), but Thor IS the God of Thunder - and I agree that bloodline would win in the end.</font>
05) Supergirl vs Wonder Woman
06) Green Arrow vs Hawkeye
07) Martian Manhunter vs Vision
08) Dr. Fate vs Dr. Strange
09) Quicksilver vs Northstar
10) Wolverine vs Lobo
11) X-Men vs Avengers
<font color=green>Avengers -- when you've got a god in your corner, you've got an edge...</font>
12) Justice League vs Justice Society
13) Bruce Lee vs Jackie Chan
<font color=green>Bruce, once all the furniture's broken.</font>
<font color=plum>LOLOLOLOL!!!! Very True!!</font>
14) Van Damme vs Segal
<font color=green>Assuming both in their prime, my $$'s on Segal. </font>
15) Blade vs Buffy
<font color=green>Blade, unless Buffy gets in a quick shot when he drops his guard. When she introduces herself, Blade & Whistler are gonna look at each other, repeat "BUFFY, the vampire slayer? Buffy, the VAMPIRE SLAYER?" and laugh their asses off, she'll have one chance.</font>
<font color=plum>BWAHAHAHAHA!!! That's true, they would.</font>
16) Freddy vs Jason
17) Alien vs Predator
<font color=green>Predator -- technology wins again.</font>
18) Riggs (Lethal Weapon) vs McClane (Die Hard)
<font color=green>Hand-to-hand, Riggs. Short range, I doubt McClane could shoot a smiley face with a pistol. Long Range, Riggs. Even McClane's "impossible survival" skill couldn't last. </font>
<font color=plum>Yep. McClane is tough, but Riggs is practically unstoppable. he fought that guy at the end of LW2 with a knife stuck in his leg. OUCH!</font>
19) Steve Irwin vs Jeff Corwin
<font color=green>Steve. </font>
20) Teletubbies vs Barney
<font color=green>Teletubbies have greater numbers. </font>
21) Hercules vs Achilles (mythology versions)
<font color=green>Herc. Gotta go with the deity bloodline.</font>
22) Aragorn vs Lancelot
23) Hobbit vs Kender (or Pippin vs Tasslehoff, if you prefer)
<font color=green>Probably the Kender. They're so annoying their opponents get frustrated & make mistakes.</font>
24) Gandalf vs Merlin/Elminster vs Raistlin (Double elimination - who advances? who wins?)
25) Balrog vs Takhisis
26) Dragon vs Lich (BG2 version)
27) Ford vs Chevy
28) Ferrari vs Porsche (for the Euro crowd)
<font color=green>In Need for Speed I do better in a Ferrari. But then I beat both with a Viper [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>
29) Australian Football vs Rugby
<font color=green>First thought was Rugby, but then I remembered the quote from Dogma "Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, next to soccer."</font>
<font color=plum>I'm talking about Australian Rules Football - not soccer (though I admit soccer players seem to be some of the best conditioned athletes in any sport). Australian Rules Football was a staple of ESPN back in it's early days. It's basically a combination of Rugby and American Football, but I don't think they have scrums. Both sports are brutal and the players were NO PADDING! Still gotta give the edge to Rugby because of the scrums and the fact that they have the balls to wear skirts when they play. :D </font>
30) Coke vs Pepsi</font>
<font color=green>Coke</font>
<font color=plum>I actually like both, but I drink Coke most of the time. And <font color=ivory>Vanilla Coke</font> is my absolute favorite.</font>
