just a gut feeling
As it should be.

to be fair, Batman broke into a police headquarters, raided an evidence box, found the bullet, determined what it did, and used it successfully to kill the most powerful creature in the universe. Mario jumped in the air, hit a box with his head, and then moved his body through a jumping star.

im always gonna vote for brains i think
Brains?http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/anderson/thunderbirds/images/520_brains.jpgBecause he'll just drop a TB2 cargo pod on top of Batman's head. Actually, I have to keep reminding myself that these are all fictional characters and don't actually exist. Except Darth Vader.

and BTW Brains really looks like a prototype hipster there - awful haircut, spectacles with no lenses, bad taste in clothes, "ironic" bow tie.

Xena would kick all their asses. All she'd have to do is snap the hook on that chainmail bikini and pick'em all off before they get their jaws off the floor. ;D
Although you didn't include the true winner: Sue Richards.

Not very familiar with the Batman/Robin relationship, are you? To say nothing of homo Hobbits.

So I recently watched Hellboy 2, and it occurred to me that that dude could probably kick all these other dudes asses pretty easily. I mean, he's fucking Satan, plus I think he could easily compensate for Darth Vader's telekinetic hyjinks & Predator's gadgets with sheer, overwhelming, brute force - not unlike how the aggro 'roid guys pretty easily dominate the Taekwondo dudes in UFC fights. He'd slap the bejeezus out of a goddam Hulk too. Hellboy. He is the one.

Hellboy gets his ass kicked a lot tho it seems

Alien, Frankenstein, Dracula, Darth Vader and Gargamel never win. They exist to lose and get burned and have stakes put in them and shit. Furthermore, my experience indicates that Mario and Sonic have to lose a couple hundred times before they manage to win, so long shot at bast. Hobbit, Xena, Jean-Luc, Rocky and Rambo? Please, these are chumps. No cookie. (Unless Rocky is the flying squirrel, which = special case.) Fuck Hulk. Bloated moron. And fuck Wolverine a million times with whatever shit you already fucked Hulk with.
Which leaves Predator, Batman and Hellboy. Predator is just a generic instance of grodymouth space monster, not a specific dude with feelings and history and shit. So no chi, no significance, no reason for victory. Hellboy, on the other hand, is borderline chump, seems to enjoy losing and hobbling around squinty-face afterwards. Why not give him the chance to do what he does best?
That is, BATMAN BATMAN BATMAN!!!
Unless special case, in which case, Rocky the Flying Squirrel kicks Batman's Nazi ass to the moon and back.

Picard is pals with Q, who can fuck shit up for anybody.
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Friday, 16 January 2009 21:53 (seventeen years ago)
Q is horrible geek, plus is not in this fight. Batman is friends with, like, Superman and the New Gods. Everybody gots friends, but Picard is still a chump.
― Calling All Creeps! (contenderizer), Friday, 16 January 2009 21:57 (seventeen years ago)
Picard is not friends with that particular Q, by which I mean the one that appears in Star Trek most often. Q might become involved if he could get some entertainment out of it. The other members of the Continuum probably wouldn't lift a finger to help either way.
― snoball, Friday, 16 January 2009 21:59 (seventeen years ago)
Hellboy, on the other hand, is borderline chump, seems to enjoy losing and hobbling around squinty-face afterwards. - See, that's just prolonged adolescent angst. When push comes to shove (and it often does), the guy can singlehandedly defeat skyscraper-sized mutant demons, and rip bank vault doors off their hinges and hurl them through concrete. Not to mention that Teh Dark Knight does his fair share of curmudgeonly brooding as well.
hellboy is not satan - Isn't he the son & rightful heir of Satan? That's pretty close to being Satan.
― Pillboxxx/The Lol Belol (Pillbox), Friday, 16 January 2009 22:08 (seventeen years ago)
Hellboy is relative of Satan, which probably counts for something. And yes, he's always picking up chunks of castles with which to pulverize horrors, but that just means he's got it easy. I refuse the endorse the horror pounding antics of a phenomenally lucky dimwit, however endearing. I mean, shit, might as well put Goon in the list. Batman, see, Batman is the guy who wins. He has the specific job kicking the ass of the guy who should totally be able to kick his ass. That's like his magic power.

Not really paying much attention to this thread, it comes down to Picard vs Batman for me, b/c with the vast majority of these guys, you just have very physical fighters who don't exactly have the most amount of wit. Even when you get to the level of the more strategic thinker(a middling level of Vader, Predator, Bruce Banner, and MAYBE Rambo but not really), the only two who could outwit the rest would be Batman and Picard.
― kingfish, Friday, 16 January 2009 22:30 (seventeen years ago)
Then it would go to the 40-yr-old with 8 million weapons on his belt, over the 60-yr-old with a phaser and a pleasing baritone, amirite
― WmC, Friday, 16 January 2009 22:36 (seventeen years ago)
but picard is only mid-40s, isn't he? how old are most starfleet captains?

xxpost: Ah, but how expansive and well-equipped is the setting of this event? Will there be the time and the resources to devise a cunning stratagem, especially in the presence, on all sides, of impending deadly force? Are we talking Battle Royale or Bloodsport?

Well that's the real trick now, innit. We have two groups of contestants, those who rely on gear:
PredatorBatmanHellboy (sorta)The Hobbit (sorta)Jean-Luc PicardDarth VaderRamboGargamel
and those use can use physical force:
AlienHulkFrankensteinDraculaHellboy (sorta)WolverineSonic the hedgehogSuper marioThe Hobbit (sorta)Xena (sorta?)Rocky
And it would all come down to the specifications of the contest. Do we allow them to have starships? Supply them all with stock/standard-issue imperial blasters or phaser rifles?
― kingfish, Friday, 16 January 2009 22:46 (seventeen years ago)
(xxxpost) Picard is supposedly 59 in the first episode of ST:TNG
― snoball, Friday, 16 January 2009 22:48 (seventeen years ago)
xpost: I think Mario relies on gear, if hammer bros. suits, P wings, mushrooms & the like qualify as "gear." Actually, now that I think about it, given an invincibility star, Mario could just stroll right through the whole bunch and claim the prize. If I hadn't already voted, I'd go with Mario under these circumstances.
― Pillboxxx/The Lol Belol (Pillbox), Friday, 16 January 2009 22:51 (seventeen years ago)
I think that Mario does rely on gear, his only real physical skill (that doesn't require a power up of any kind) is his jumping ability. Also I think that Bilbo more or less entirely relies on gear, specifically the Ring.
― snoball, Friday, 16 January 2009 22:55 (seventeen years ago)
entrants should be limited to whatever items would come with their corresponding toy action figure
in which case vader still wins

We need a 2nd batch of contestants, to go against the victor of this one, NCAA-style.
Suggestions, some of which are taken from this thread: Kirby, Cybermen, Captain Crunch, Judge Dredd, Genghis Kahn, Khan Noonien Singh, Captain Power, a platoon of Nazi soldiers, a giant squid, Daleks, the Staypuft Marshmellow Man, the Prisoner, Alexander the Great, Ganon, M. Bison, Viktor Von Doom

And that shot of Sulu controlling the Enterprise with a row of mixing desk faders is classic and needs to be used somewhere.

Yeah, I was going to say, even the first Predator movie grants it with a sort of nobility and inner life and most definitely feelings; it laughs as it blows itself up and Arnold sheds a tear at the end over its loss.
