Introducing: Geek Asylum "Fantasy Fights"

Superman vs. the Hulk, Captain America vs. Batman, Thor vs. Hercules, Cobra Commander vs. The Red Skull.  These are just some of the match ups we have all wondered who would end up winning.  Deadliest Warrior (R.I.P.) from Spike TV did just that with real warriors from Spartans to Navy SEALS to Samurai.  But the fantasy fighters from comics, video games, movies, manga, anime, television are all just left to arguing fans.  This is where I come in as an expert on these fantasy fights.  I have read countless depictions on the internet of who would win what and seen many comic books showing the fight and how it played out.  My biggest problem is though that these fights in comics are written to sell books.  Sometimes the fans vote on who the winner would be and other times they end up teaming up to fight the real bad guy.  How many times do we need Alien vs. Predator where the one of them (who is a monster alien who has killed people) turns out to be the kind of good guy and we cheer for him?  Freddy vs. Jason was guilty of this too making Mr. Jason to be the lesser of two evils.

I’m going to be doing a column and in my column I’m going to have a throw down between two or more evenly matched individuals.  These characters will be in a fight to the “death.”  I put death in quotes because I know some people will cry and yell saying “Batman doesn’t kill!”; which is true so to the death in this case means either actual death or incapacitation.  To be incapacitated means if the winner wanted to he/she could kill the loser and there would be no way to stop it. I am also going to be including at what power level each fighter will be at for this fight so I don't hear that "well do you mean King Thor or normal Thor?" or "which version of Cell do you mean?"

Now to let me explain how each one of these will work here it goes.  I will give what I’m calling a Brief Bio for each character.  These Brief Bios will explain what power set the character has, who they have fought in the past, and why they are suited for this fight.  After that we get our special Battlefield Conditions.  These conditions are set up by me to create the environment that best makes a fair match between the two and also sets the ground on why they are fighting.  Sometimes it is a just fight, other times a misunderstanding while other times it is two people trying to assert their authority. 

The fights will be conducted in a story fashion not commentary.  I will be writing up each match and posting it with my educated perception of who the winner would be of this epic match up.  I know I can’t please every fan boy and fan girl out there so let me say I understand all potential hate that could be coming my way and I expect it.  Remember I don’t have that crazy simulator where I can enter data and get results of over 5000 match ups.  I have to go on what I know.

So with that being said be on the lookout for my new regular column Fantasy Fights and be sure to tune and check out this column and make sure you read it each week.  If you agree with me and my analysis let people know, and if you disagree let me know.  Just remember at the end of each of these FIGHTS! Someone is going to have to FINISH HIM!
