Well, I don't want to stoop to that level of playground commentary, But I do have a dream match-up for you: Magnus, Robot Fighter vs. Brainiac!
The breakdown:
Brainiac is a relentless, coldly logical super-computer in an android body who wears hot-pants and go-go boots.
Magnus is a futuristic ubermensch who battles robot menaces on a daily basis- who wears a minidress and go-go boots.
Clearly this battle was meant to be.
Now, gentle readers, I'm asking you to write back with your opinions of the outcome of this fight. Feel free to draft a whole scenario, if you like. Just let us all know who you think would win and why?
The reader with the best scenario will get a special prize from yours truly. Deadline is next Thursday, December 10th.
Well, I would participate, but the first rule of Silver Age Fight Club is you don't talk about Silver Age Fight Club. Sorry...
ReplyDeleteUsing his finny friends (isn't that what they were referred to in the early AM stories) is kinda cheating.
ReplyDeleteIn a straight out fight between Arthur and Namor, (and I'm one of the biggest Aquaman fans ever) I'm afraid pointy ears would mop the ocean with Big Orange. I mean, Subby (in water) was the equal,if not the master of even the Hulk.
I also, don't see any way that Magnus could last even 5 minutes against the maniacal Braniac.

Do you think Mighty Mouse could beat up Superman?
ReplyDeleteDr.H- First of all, that is techinically correct.
ReplyDeleteR/E- No, no, Aquaman wouldn't summon his flippery friends from the briny deep... I'm sayong that Namor IS a sea-creature and subject to the telepathic whims of the sEA kING. :)
Dr. H- Only if Ralph Bakshi and kryptonite were involved.
Ohh, yeah, that's a cool concept... the only thing different between a shark, or Topo the octopus AND NAMOR, is their hat size... so AM could have the "prince" dance around via mind-control just like the Fresh Prince. You may be on to something Aaron.
