This is a fairly classic game I'd be interested to have start here at teh Geekery. Pretty much anyone who's been very young at one point is familiar with it, so it likely needs no introduction, and I'm wasting space here by trying to create one despite the evident superfluousness of my efforts.
I shall begin.
Hannibal Lecter vs Sherlock Holmes
-
In a fight: Lecter (The guy took out a guard with a pen clip, damnit! He's the Mcguyver of murderers! =P)
At catching a killer/evading the law: Holmes (Though if arrest came down to a fight, see 'In a fight')
-
Lecter all the way.
-
Lecter all the way.
I have to agree, Holmes was crafty, but Lecter eats people. It doesn't get more hardcore than that.
-
Still (just to be devil, or Lecter's in this case, advocate), Lecter managed to get caught by Will Graham in Red Dragon, and Holmes strikes me as many times more perceptive than Graham in any case. To be honest, they strike me as being quite similar (with the notable difference of one killing and eating people all the time of course).
-
Holmes > Moriarty
Moriarty > Lecter
Thus, Holmes > Lecter.
QED, and math don't fucking lie.
And before this detriorates into further imbecility, I am stating for the record that Batman > Spiderman. The end. I will not post in or look at this thread again. LALALALALALALAICAN'THEARYOU.
-
Lecter would eat Moriarty's liver. C'mon, even Holmes managed to finish him off! Just TRY and push Lecter's off a cliff, he'd sever some artery that would drop you before you'd even reached him. And yes, Batman could totally take Spider-Man.
-
Agent, I told you: I'm neither reading nor posting in this thread, so you're just wasting your breath.
But I'm glad we agree in re: Batman vs. Spiderman.
-
I'm in the "Lecter FTW" camp! The man is amazing. I wish I was like him...
-
I guess the real problem here is that I haven't seen the Lecter films, nor read the books.
-
I've only seen the prequel that recently came out, and in it Lecter was a ninja, so we're really asking Ninja vs Sherlock Holmes.
-
Read the books. They're far more descriptive of Lecter's history and talents. The movies don't even begin to cover what makes him so awesome (and totally lethal).
-

Wrong! Lecter was not a ninja.
-
Win at what? Are we talking Battleship, Monopoly, Lacrosse, a race for POTUS?
-

HA! I hold my breath whilst typing.
-
I hold mine in a #10 can
-

Yeah, he was just trianed by a Japanese chick, he found his own style eventually. (Namely kill the poor bastard however you can utilising whatever's around and serve with mushrooms! =P)
It did seem to be going the way of the ninja at one point, was a little strange.
-
Hate mushrooms.
-
stupid?
-
Concur
-
Though I did yell out 'HOLY FUCK HE'S A NINJA' in the theatre when he guts the butcher (he's wearing all black I think), if anything that gear in the movie was Samurai, and not ninja. However, I know next to nothing of old Japan save for the Wikipedia page on Haikus I read (none of mine qualify anymore, except for one about sharks that I'm a bit proud of).
Randall Flagg vs Gandalf
-
I hear Gandalf plays a pretty mean game of Battleship.
-
Randall Flagg vs Gandalf
Gandalf is a god though. He is the Maiar referred to as "Olorin".
As nasty as Walter O'Dim really is, he'd get his ass handed to him against Gandalf in his full glory.
-
But can either of them play a mean violin while blasted on cocaine?
My money's still on Holmes.
-
Hate mushrooms.
Quite so.
-
Yeah that's actually a good point for Gandalf, especially if you take into account the fact that Walter turns out to be really lame in Dark Tower VII, in one of the very few bits of Dark Tower that I though majorly sucked.
OOOh how about Barlow from 'Salem's Lot vs Walter o'Dim/R.F.
-
Barlow. Vampires for the win.
-
Flagg, definitely. Grandfather Vampires are powerful, but they're one-trick-ponies. RF was a lot more versatile and clever than that.
-
It wouldn't suprise me to find Flagg using Barlow in a scheme in the short term, they'd probably get along famously until Flagg didn't need him anymore then he'd get the boot. Don't forget that Barlow got staked by a writer in his sleep, while it took the hand of god setting off a nuclear weapon in the desert to take out Randall, and even then he wasn't finished (can't remember if that bit is only in the Stand extended edition or not).

A better question:
Gandalf vs Albus Dumbledore
-
A better question:
Gandalf vs Albus Dumbledore
Piffle. Not a fair fight. Gandalf's the keeper of the secret flame of Arnor. Dumbledore's just a wizard.
Better one:
ivan vs. BizB
-
Even Snape can kill Dumbledore.
Though Ivan wields the sacred spear of sarcasm, BizB is well-armoured with the shield of satire.
-
ivan vs. BizB
Snark-off, or jello wrestling?

From what little I've read by them, agreed.
Overall, Snape FTW.
-
Snark-off, or jello wrestling?
Snark-off, of course. BizB'd clean ivan's clock in jello wrestling.
No offense, ivan.
-
hmmm...
ivan vs. BizB in a snark-off. I think I'm putting my money on ivan. I have no reason for this, it's just a gut reaction.
-
You just made my day, Vespertine. I frankly consider BizB my superior in those kinds of things. I might beat BizB in a drinking match, but that's uncertain as well, since he's a kite-border, and kite-borders have good balance.
-

None taken. I know my limits.
-
A better question:
Gandalf vs Albus Dumbledore
I posit that they're the same person. Have you ever seen them together? Thought not.
-

-
ivan, not Defect
-
I know that Ivan and Defect are separate people. But since I've never met BizB in person, he could actually be Ivan. Defect and BizB are seperate people, but share one encephalon.
-
lector is a brainiac
-
I've never heard of 'lector', or you for that matter. State your name and designation.
-
Probably showing my geekiness real badly here, but:
Exar Kun vs. Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker
-
Gandhi Vs Abe Lincoln?
-
A pacifist versus the president who started the war which killed more Americans than any war since? Gee... tough call.
-
Tom Cruise vs Tom from MySpace
-

Ok, what if Gandhi had to fight, he could probably kick a bit of ass, all the pent up anger.
Abe Lincoln may have started the war but did he fight?
Gandhi and Abe are fairly even matched, both have long reaches.
Although Abe has beard power.
-
Ghandi was 5'3" (http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/80299)
Lincoln was 6'4" (http://www.whitehouse.gov/kids/presidents/abrahamlincoln.html)
Stop spouting crap about which you have absolutely no fucking idea.

This works in Ghandi's favour if he happens to be a biter.
My money's on Ghandi.
This, of course, going on the assumption that he suddenly dropped pacifism. Also, Abe Lincoln was all gangly and awkward. I'm sure Ghandi has much better dexterity and agility, which would work greatly in his favour. And let's not forget that endurance.
-
Lincoln ate regular meals, Gandhi was often pretty starved as I recall. Plus wasn't Lincoln a boxer/wrestler or something?
-
http://members.aol.com/RVSNorton1/Lincoln48.html
Yes. Yes he was.
-
Yeah, so now we've got a plus six foot tall wrassler versus a short starving pacifist...

Does the word "wiry" mean nothing to you people?
-
Is it a boxing match or a steet fight? And do they get to use weapons?
-
I can't imagine how the answer to any of those questions could possibly sway my opinion about a 6'4" former grappler versus a 5'3" pacifist.
-
Edit : Are those Halo guns? Pretty hard to find pictures of Ghandi doing anything violent. My money's on Abe.
-
Mumra vs. Skeletor?

Well height and reach are important, remember the celebrity boxing match between Manute Bol and William 'The Fridge' Perry? Manute won handily.
