Battle Royale

i know a lot of guys will be interested in a topic like this. there are entire websites dedicated to this alone. i encourage the women to get involved too.

ok, so if you are anything like myself, you have had numorous "who would win" discussions with your peers. the idea here is to come up with the most interesting match up for a fight. they can be celebrities, comic book characters, movie characters, even books and video games. explain what would happen in the fight and who would win. ill list some examples to get started. if anyone wants to argue for or against a side just jump right in. add any more that you would like to discuss as well.

Lara Croft(Tomb Raider) Vs Jill Valentine(Resident Evil)
Vash the Stampede(Trigun) Vs Bullseye(DareDevil)
Goku{lv4} Vs Superman{pre-crises}
Yoda Vs Apocolypse
Nicholes D. Wolfwood Vs John Constantine
Beatrix Kiddo(Kill Bill) Vs Kenshin Himura(Rurouni Kenshin)
Lion Rafale(virtuafighter) Vs Leon S. Kennedy(resident evil)
Jack the Ripper Vs Hannibal Lecter
Odyseus Vs Achilles
Mel Gibson Vs Tom Hanks

Data (from star trek) vs No.5 (from short circuit)

Don't know all the characters, but I'll comment on the ones I know.

Lara Croft vs. Jill- Jill would win. I get a more die-hard flexible feeling from Jill than Lara.
Beatrix Kiddo(Kill Bill) Vs Kenshin Himura(Rurouni Kenshin) - tough one. I'd say draw.
Odyseus Vs Achilles- Achilles, no doubt.
Mel Gibson Vs Tom Hanks- Tom
O-Town Vs Backstreet Boys- BSB (does O-Town still exist?)

Decius vs. Ironwood
Bush vs Blair
Hitler vs Mao
Britney vs Beyonce
Mario vs Luigi
Fox vs. Captain Falco
Eminem vs Fifty Cent

(Side note: I found out there's a movie called Battle Royale where players have to be the last one standing. It's a bloody fun movie to watch as lovers and brothers kill each other to survive.)
