So if Batman and Wolverine crossed paths in a dark alley...

If you've EVER been ANY sort of nerd, you've had a variation of this conversation with your friends.

"If Hulk and Superman ran into each other..."
"If Wonder Woman and She-Hulk got into a cat fight..."
"If Data and Seven-Of-Nine both wanted the same hard drive..."

(Ok, I'm losing my imagination here...just go with it...)


Here's a snippet of the article from Newsarama:

It's the argument every dedicated comic book fan is going to have sooner or later. "Who would win in a fight between....?"

Whether it's pirates vs. ninjas or mutants vs. metahumans, the arguments often end with a "who knows?" because the answer is based on little more than a hunch.

Now a television show on Spike TV is looking to answer those questions with more than just guesses. Airing on Tuesday nights, Deadliest Warrior uses scientific data and computer game technology to pit history's greatest warriors against each other to determine who would really win. [This past] Tuesday night's episode (4/21), at 10 p.m. Eastern, [featured] a match between Spartans and ninjas.


Ok, so I didn't find out about this show until just this week....but it sounds like it could be a bit of fun! It sounds like there's no specific plans for superheroes, metahumans, mutants, etc yet, but they're not ruling out something like that being spotlighted in the future! ;-) Ooh, speaking of the future...

"If a Terminator robot (pick your favorite model) ran into Danger (formerly The Danger Room) from the X-Men comics, and they got into a fight, who would get to keep all the leftover parts from the loser?"

Allow me to air out my dorky side really quick by telling you that as a kid I used to want to know who'd win in a fight between the Transformers and the Go-Bots and I always bet the Transformers because I knew the Go-Bots were the lame pretend Transformers, and so, the Transformers would know all their tricks.

I was so analytical as a ridiculous child.
