El Ravager

First Post
My choices are highlighted in Bold

1. Conan the Cimmerian (Robert Howard's novels, Conan movies) versus Parksenarion (Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksenarion) - Don't know who Parksenarion is, but Conan = Cool.
2. Batman (Batman comics, Batman movies) versus Alice (Alice in Wonderland)Come on, its Batman!
3. Hong Kong Phooey versus Captain Marvel (comics) - Cooler name.
4. Dudley Do-Right (The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show) versus The Shadow Shadow beats Canadian.
5. Sethra Lavode (Steven Brust's Dragaera novels) versus Super Mario (Mario Brothers video games) - Give him a couple mushrooms and a flower (or a giant sqirtgun) Mario can't lose.
6. Luke Skywalker versus The Punisher - Gotta go with the force baby!
7. Buffy Summers John Carter of Mars - Buffy is hot.
8. Miles Vorkosigan versus Captain America - Can't say much here, don't know Vorko.
9. Indiana Jones versus Tarzan - What can I say, I dig archaeology :p
10. Superman versus Aragorn - Tough one, that.
11. Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly) versus Gandalf the Grey - Not so tough, that one.
12. Croaker versus John Sheridan - ??
13. Sam Vimes versus Rincewind (Discworld) - again, ??
14. Samwise Gamgee versus The Man with No Name - Sam is the man.
15. Gamera versus The Phantom
16. Thrall versus Delenn
17. Corwin of Amber versus Trinity
18. Richard Sharpe versus Solomon Kane - Cool name, that guy.
19. Sherlock Holmes versus Yoda (Star Wars) - again with the force...
20. Maui versus El Borak - No idea, but his name starts with El too.
21. CuChulainn versus Granny Weatherwax
22. The Doctor versus Godzilla
23. Flash Gordon versus versus Marty McFly
24. John Crichton versus Connor MacLeod - There can be only one.
25. Aeryn Sun verus Thor - Some dude I've never heard of or a GOD with a HAMMER!
26. Arthur Dent versus Ozymandias
27. Wonder Woman Rorschach
28. Superboy versus the Hulk
29. Agent Dale Cooper versus The Tick - The Tick rules. No one does righteous heroic monologues like the Tick.
30. Captain Adama versus Nolan Benholm - Gotta watch that show some time.
31. Atticus Finch versus Jackie Chan
32. James Bond versus Link - Tough one again, but the vote went to Bond. Too much Link as a little kid games recently...
33. The Terminator versus Leto II
34. Beowulf versus Wesley
35. Rocky Balboa versus Jen the Gelfling
36. Ellen Ripley versus Perseus
37. Robin Hood versus Duncan Idaho
38. Angel versus Sir Lancelot
39. Drizzt Do'Urden versus Nathan Kiklu - Going with my inner dnd Fanboy here... even though I've never read a FR novel.
40. Spider-Man versus Sir Galahad
41. Hercules versus Gilgamesh
42. Wicket versus Frodo Baggins - With Sam busy fighting the man with no name, poor Mr. Frodo is a sitting duck! Winner goes to Wicket.
43. Anakin Skywalker versus Gordon Freeman - Darth Vader = cool. Anakin? Not so much...
44. Hellboy versus Vlad Taltos
45. King Arthur versus Ralph Hinkley - We are going with the Monty Python version, right?
46. Harry Keogh versus Paladin - The Man in Black
47. Han Solo (Star Wars) versus John Rambo
48. Speed Racer versus Severain the Torturer
49. Austin Powers versus Sam Emerson
50. Professor Albus Dumbledore versus Wolverine - Its a shame, because I doubt anybody else will vote for Dumbledore. But throw a couple memory charms at him and Wolvie won't stand a chance. :p
51. Neo versus Jack Bauer - Voting for Jack on principle. Reloaded and Revolutions sucked.
52. Captain James T. Kirk versus Professor X - Prof. X would spend too much time worring about morals and thinking about how we can all just get along giving Kirk the chance to spring into action. With a photon torpeedo. Or 12.
53. Captain Jean-Luc Picard versus the Wraith - Hmm, i didn't think I liked Trek this much...
54. Obi-Wan Kenobi versus Ash - Oh well, the force is just 2 for 4 now. Maybe it's not all that...
55. Honor Harrington versus Spongebob Squarepants - As much as it pains me...
56. Carl Kolchak versus Mad Max
57. Captain Benjamin Sisko versus Optimus Prime - And Ben was my favorite of the Captains too...
58. Odysseus Versus He-Man
59. Don Quixote versus Haru, the Great White Ninja
60. Spike versus B.A. Baracus
61. The Lone Ranger versus versus Jack O'Neill
62. Wesley Wyndham Pryce versus RoboCop
63. Elminster versus Mack Bolan
64. Doc Savage versus Inigo Montoya - My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father... ah, you know the rest! :D

45. King Arthur (mythology, various novels) versus Ralph Hinkley

You are most welcome, but I missed one that I nominated. Allow me to clarify that Ralph Hinkley is The Greatest American Hero.
