character VERSUS character VERSUS another character VERSUS your mother - Page 4

Going back to the Star Trek vs. Battlestar Galactica...

There's another Enterprise (NX-01). Jonathan Archer being the captain of this vessel.
Just mentioning, seeing as there was only speaking of Kirk and Picard, awesome as they are.

NO THERE WASN'T.

Well, I know there wasn't.
But it still exists.

Even though it doesn't.

Let's just say that while there was in fact in the Star Trek universe an Enterprise NX-01 captained by a John Archer, no meaningful claims can be made about said captain or his ship in a Versus context because no depiction of his exploits has ever been produced in any entertainment medium, ever.

Also, bringing such hypothetical, totally nonexistent characters like Archer into the equation would open a whole floodgate for Enterprises under the command of Pike, Harriman, Garrett, Jellico, and even Riker for about a day and a half.

It sets a bad precedent, you know?

Okay...

Lobo vs Wolverine. Fight isn't over until the loser is permanently, utterly destroyed... granted that would take a LONG time... but who would win?

Fifthfiend · 07-10-2007, 02:47 PM

See Riker would be actually sort-of within bounds, cause they actually have on-film instances of him captaining the Enterprise, giving us a canon from which to extrapolate regarding his overall captaining abilities.

Whereas, as John Archer has never been depicted in any entertainment medium, his capabilities in a conflict setting remain purely hypothetical.

The fight would last all of several seconds, the majority of which would be the time Lobo expends wiping the leftover bits of Wolverine spattered across his knuckles.

I mean Lobo is basically Wolverine to the power of Superman times explicit villainy IN SPACE!!!, plain old base-model Wolverine just doesn't have a lot of options here.

Truthfully, if the Battlestar conducted dirty tactics they could easily beat the Enterprise, as Picard, while not 100% trusting, is accustomed to a much more civilized and peaceful society.

So he wouldn't anticipate Humans that act like Ferangi.

Lobo, while not unbeatable, is IMMORTAL.
And can regenerate from a pool of blood.

Wolverine wouldn't stand a chance.

Try this one on for size:
Anita Blake, Vampire Executioner versus Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Friends aren't allowed to interfere.

I'm not saying Lobo's unbeatable, just unbeatable by Wolverine, cause he's on the Superman level of strength except without any of the you know, anything remotely resembling moral scruples. It would basically be like

"Fight is Begin!"

*Lobo punches Wolverine into the sun*

"Oh snaps, I got some bits of Wolverine on my knuckles, lemme take a second real quick and wipe that off."
