The thought occurred to me, while discussing the very serious subject of gender bias in game design, that I really miss the old "could Batman kick Superman's ass" conversations. So let's see who we can pair up in the most heroic or humiliating ways.

Ada Wong versus Marcus Fenix?

or how about Deus Ex's JC versus Gordon Freeman?

LEGO Star Wars Yoda versus Princess Peach?

Dude, JC Denton would totally kick Gordon Freeman's ass. Gordon Freeman is a man for the ages and a survivor in times of upheaval, but JC was born, raised, and augmented to be the ultimate tool of infiltration and termination. Freeman has a crowbar; JC has nanotechnological implants!

Lego Yoda over Peach, because of Force Stun. But wouldn't Kirby trump all of these examples, since he could simply inhale his enemy and thereby gain its power?

Nope, because one inhaled grenade equals no more Kirby.

Fenix over Wong. If we take RE4 or RE2 and make Fenix the main character with Lancer, Longshot, grenades and a steady stream of ammo for the weapons. Those games would take all of 2 hours to beat. Fenix would own the Resident Evil universe.

If we put Wong into Fenix's shoes on the other hand we would just have another set of cog tags to pick up.

Now a good match up would be Marcus Fenix vs Master Chief vs Samus.

I'd have to say Wong over Croft. Ada just seems like she would be more likely to fight dirty if the opportunity came along.

Freeman hands down. He fights mutants and what not. Scary stuff.

West fights zombies, which, in my opinion, always have their scariness level overestimated. Zombies are stupid, weak, decaying, and slow moving. Not a single aspect of their physical or metal prowess is frightening. God forbid you fall asleep in a crowd of them, I suppose...

Also, Samus has them all beat. She has a non-reloading, rapid fire weapon strapped to her arm (which can turn into a number of other weapons quickly), as well as a suit that enhances her abilities.

good fun.

Serious Sam versus Will Rock!

(Actually, Will Rock sucked, but any excuse to say his name.)

I don't think we're taking this seriously enough

Maybe this is a localisation thing, but isn't it Lara?

I feel like this is the right moment to point to <a href=http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=57998>this video.
Although I'm sure most of you will have already seen it.

Fenix has nothing on Master Chief or Samus. I mean he doesn't even wear a helmet.... can anyone say headshot?

I'm on a god of war binge at the moment, so how about Kratos Vs Nariko (Heavenly Sword)?

Depends entirely on what Cloud's picked up.

Cloud with just the Buster Sword seems like no match for Link.

But even if we disallow summons, Cloud with Quadra Magic linked (no pun intended) to Ultima would without a doubt kill Link in a single action.

I'm pretty sure Link would kick Cloud's ass, but that's just bias talking.

How about Hitman versus Riddick?

I'm going with Riddick, no contest. Also, I'm going with the "Pitch Black" Riddick (more mysterious, more dangerous, and less humane), not the "Chronicles of Riddick" one. 47 is cool, but he still seems to operate within human rules, Riddick, on the other hand is simply an animal.

And, I was thinking, Cloud would stand still and Link cut him up while "waiting his turn" and probably crying too... yeah... crying. Emo punk with his crazy hair.

How about (doubt anyone is familar enough with the first character) Goku vs Superman. Both have comics, cartoons, and games.
