You know, what you might be right on the GL vs. Spidey. Considering GL Guy Gardner was knocked out in one punch by Batman and GL Hal Jordan was almost killed by Frank Miller’s All-Star Robin.

I think you’re on the right track with pairing iconic characters. Don’t think anyone would care to comment on Howard the Duck vs. Ambush Bug or Firelord vs. Firehawk.

I’ll have to think of better pairings, but don’t want to resort to the pairings in the 90s’ Marvel vs. DC (Hawkeye vs Green Arrow, Namor vs. Aquaman, or Quicksilver vs. Flash).

I think match-ups with similar powersets would be easier to compare and contrast. At least with powersets that stand-up to each other. Some pairings that might provide a cool comparison (although maybe obscure) could be:

- Deadpool vs. Deathstroke (merc vs. merc).
- Green Lantern vs Gladiator Kallark (Willpower vs. Confidence – use GL Guy Gardner as a good match-up)
- Black Canary vs. Elektra (top martial artists in their universe)
- Shang-Chi vs. Richard Dragon (Bruce Lee rip-off vs. Bruce Lee rip-off)
- Green Lantern Corps vs. Nova Corps (space police vs. space police)
- Wonder Woman vs. She Hulk (Lasso of Truth vs… a lawyer).
- Wonder Woman vs. Invisible Woman (invisble Plane vs. invisible powers)
- Aquaman vs. X-men’s Beast (useless character vs. useless character)
- Captain Boomerang or Deadshot vs. Bullseye.
- Spectre vs. Ghost Rider
- Dr. Fate vs. Dr. Strange
- Sgt. Rock vs. Nick Fury
- Mr. Terrific vs. Mr. Fantastic
- Spider-Man vs. Robin/Nightwing
- Man-Thing vs. Swamp Thing.
- Hulk Vs. Doomsday
- Captain America vs. Hawkman
- Dr. Doom vs. Lex Luthor

Only in my spare time. Which is a bit more today as I wasn’t called in to work.

Will, we’re open to suggestion, fire away! (I think GL vs Spidey is a close one myself…)

Daredevil will never see the Flash coming. He’s not even in his League.

Flash wins because he’s willing to mindwipe a bad guy if necessary. As a lawyer, Daredevil would probably look down upon that kind of thing. Plus, Daredevil could never be the tipping factor in a battle against the Anti-Monitor.

GL vs. Spider-man? These match-ups seem a bit skewed towards DC. Isn’t this like pitting Robin against the Silver Surfer?

Wow, ummm, Holly, it sounds like you’ve written some slash fiction about this.

I’d like to see some sort of Super Hero Smackdown Playoff Tree. This way I can follow at home.

A) I think a woman would find The Flash to be unbearably arrogant about beating the crap out of a sensitive sight-impaired person… “Oh MAN, you shoulda SEEN how I hit that wimp 800 times, and then I went back in time and stuck a brick in his skull!!” Total turn-off. Whoever his prospective lay was, she would screech shrilly at him, “WELL YOU CAN JUST GO RIGHT BACK IN TIME AND TAKE THAT BRICK OUT, AND WHILE YOU ARE AT IT, YOU CAN TAKE YOUR FUTURE SELF AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR PAST SELF WITH THAT BRICK FOR EVEN THINKING OF BEATING UP SUCH A SWEET BLIND GUY, YOU GIANT ASSHOLE!”

B) Even if The Flash DID go home and have sex, he’d be done too quickly (would the woman even NOTICE he was there? And if she even registered that The Flash was ‘pleasuring’ her so expeditiously, she’d then be wishing she WAS with Daredevil instead. Because at least, being the sensitive guy he is, he would know EXACTLY what to do for her… and keep doing it for a long time… slowly).

C) Said woman would then go visit Daredevil in the hospital and play ‘Nurse’ with him.

So really, Daredevil wins…

Flash wins because his only real life portrayal was by John Wesley Shipp, also knowns as DAWSON LEARY’s FREEKIN’ DAD! Anyone from Dawson’s Creek wins, also, his main bad guy was Mark Hamil. Star Wars wins too, even if it’s Luke.

Ben Affleck? Hmmm, not in Star Wars, and during the run of Dawson’s Creek, he was winning Oscars or something else lame.

Even the masses say Flash wins.
