Many have pondered the outcome of a duel between the Dark Knight and the WWII veteran superhero Captain America. Both superheroes are masters in the martial arts, though Captain America arguably is much better at hand to hand combat. After all he was a WWII hero who took down many of our country's most hated enemies. Bat-Man, of course, coupled with his high martial arts abilities, is highly intelligent, very strategic, and immensely witty to say the least. Plus who can forget all the cool gadgets. Captain America's shield can block many a weapon, which is a cool gadget in its own right. It is also important to note that the Dark Knight was able to defeat Superman TWICE after he went all psychotic back in the 60's. Anyone who is able to beat Superman is going to be tough for anyone to defeat, including someone with the experience and wisdom of a Captain America.
So who wins? We give Captain America more points for martial arts, one more point to be exact, since the Dark Knight also is a masterful martial artist. But when we add in the Dark Knight's deception, wittiness, cunning, his past defeats (the psychotic Joker, Scarecrow), and his many gadgets, the win will go to the Dark Knight. However, the fight will go 10 rounds easy, as Captain America is no quitter, he is a soldier and an American hero after all. It will be a long fight, but the Dark Knight will take it. If he has destroyed Super-Man in the past, you really think Captain America is going to stand in his way? Now Dark Phoenix? He may want to run from her...........
Jean Grey became Dark Phoenix after her death from a solar radiation storm. She becomes so after an immortal, formless, and mutable manifestation from the cosmos, named the Phoenix Force, resurrects her after her death. The Phoenix Force, roaming the cosmos targets Jean Grey when it is attracted to her incredible power and indispensable mutant abilities. It is safe to say that the Phoenix Force takes Jean Grey as its form on earth, an incarnation so to speak. The Phoenix Force is never beginning and never ending, therefore it is deeply feared. Dark Phoenix, just as before she was resurrected, has telokinetic and telopathic abilities. She can also absorb her foe’s energy and life-force. She also has the ability to generate tremendous amounts of heat, as such that she incinerated the leader of the X-Men, her own former boss. In the X-Men comics she later goes on to become White Phoenix, using the powers of the Phoenix Force to travel back in time and even having the ability to change future outcomes and generations. To put it simply, Phoenix’s powers and ability are limitless, not to mention she is essentially an immortal .
A battle against Spider-Man is no walk in the park, just ask Wolverine. Spider-Man was able to defeat the green goblin, Dr. Octupus, and probably the toughest of all, Venom. Venom, just like Phoenix Force needs to take the form of human being, in a direct symbiotic relationship. The Venom needs a host, just like Jean Grey became Dark Phoenix after becoming the ‘host’ for the Phoenix Force. But the major key difference is that Venom can be killed while the Phoenix Force is infinite and never ending, as it is never beginning. Now as far as Spider-Man goes he has the spidy sense, is lightning quick, and most of all, he is on the ‘good’ side. However, this isn’t a happy movie, but a one on one battle. Whether a character is good or evil is subjective.
WHO WINS?
In a hypothetical battle between Phoenix and Spider-Man, there are limitless ways it could play out, all of which end up with Phoenix kicking Spider-Man’s ass. If she wanted to make it quick and easy, all she would need to do is use her telopathic powers to get inside Spiderman’s head to make him go crazy and then use her insurmountable ability to utilize heat to insinerate him. She can make it hard for him as well, making Spider-Man chase her around the world for days perhaps weeks. She knows what he is thinking and she is able to see the future so she knows the outcome. This will just make Spider-Man go crazy and once again all Phoenix has to do is think and Spider-Man will be blown into pieces. Another overlooked but important tidbit is that both of these personas, Jean Grey and Peter Parker, are extremely intelligent.
Phoenix, in my humble opinion has to be one of the most underrated of all the comic book heroes/villains considering her immense powers and ability. Disagree? Let me know……….
All of us who appreciate comic books or superheroism in any type of platform, at one point or another have wondered or in many cases even debated with others who would win in a hypothetical fight between our favorite comic book heroes. This blog is dedicated to exactly that. You will read many scenarios that I’ve thought about and I’m sure you have as well. I will provide my analysis of such battles and of course these are just opinions but I love feedback, so please feel free to provide your own rebuttal, etc. I hope you enjoy!

Wake up America! Do not be fooled again by the Fear Party!
Americans it seems like are becoming dumber and dumber by the day in this media driven, gossip laden world we now live in. We want to have a President who is just as dumb as the rest of the country it seems. Not too long ago, John McCain, said the number one criteria for the vice president is that he/she can step into the Oval Office at a moment's notice. Great, we can all agree to that, so then why did he pick a Governor from Alaska who has only 18 months experience, heard about the Iraqi surge through the TV, and has never left the country?! He has lambasted Obama for having no experience, even though he is part of the Foreign Relations Committee, spoke out against the Iraqi war jeopardizing his entire political career, has met all the major allies's leaders, and knows that Fannie and Freddy is not payed for by the taxpayers. Palin just yesterday showed how inept she is on the economy by forcefully saying that Freddie and Fannie Mac have been too hard for taxpayers, though it is public knowledge that the company has never been payed for by a single penny of taxpayer money

We see it every single time we need to elect a President. The Republicans will use mind games and head tricks to get the votes of the people who are just too stupid to understand they are voting against their best interests. Why else do the highly educated support Barack Obama, the only candidate who actually is knowledgeable on anything pertaining to everyday Americans? It is simply stunning that poor people would ever vote for a Republican when their votes do not translate into anything that would help them. The strategy is simple, get the focus off the important issues and make people vote on stupid things like gay marriage or guns or church. The approach to these frivolous things would not change anyway, regardless of which party is in offics, but the Republicans like to frame it as if a Democrat will all of sudden take away people's guns or force gay kissing or burn down churches.
The fact is that any and all people who are at the bottom of the economic hierarchy should ALWAYS vote democratic if they want more healthcare, more jobs available, better education, etc. However, since they are too stupid to understand this, the Republicans take advantage of their situation through mind control to make them vote AGAINST their best interests. The ONLY people that the Republicans truly care for are the top 1% wealthiest people in the U.S. Otherwise it makes no sense

John McCain has given a brand new meaning to POW and it is Puppet of W. Get it? Of course you do because you aren't an idiot, unless of course you happen to be a right winger. In the hopeful case that some of you are, let me break it down for you, the W stands for the middle initial of our current douche-bag-in-charge. Oh I am sorry, where are my manners, I meant the current commander-in-chief's middle initial. And guess who the Neo-Cons, I mean Republicans have elected this year as their nominee, another idiot! Now make no mistake about it, Mr. McCain used to be a rebel to the cause 8 years ago and actually got most of his facts straight, lashed out against stupidity which we all now know simply as 'Bush', and even disliked the self-proclaimed Decider. However after losing to the devil, he has actually embraced him, fell at his feet, and maybe even made late night surges to the White House on his white horse as the Maverick

According to John F. Kennedy, he has “an organizational gift I have rarely if ever seen surpassed." The great leader whom the late president was referring was his own brother, the late Robert F. Kennedy.

Fox News is absolutely nothing more than a propaganda spreading outlet and the fact that 100% of our electorate has not realized that is because most of their regular viewers have been hypnotized by the 'fear' string. That is all Fox News does, propel its agenda through the use of outlandish, immoral, and frivolous fear tactics. This channel has absolutely no respect for the fact that Thomas Jefferson proclaimed that the press has a moral obligation to its people to tell the truth about their leaders. However, Fox News has proven that it’s just a puppet and enabler currently of George W. Bush. In turn, they are puppeteers to their 'reporters' as hate mongers like Bill O'reilly, Laura Ingram, and notoriously Sean Hannity are the puppets

It is official, the straight talker, the ‘maverick’ of the Republican Party has officially sold his soul to the Neo-Cons and has leased his brain to the W mongers. The once independent minded leader who was almost immune of partisanship valiantly spoke loudly against the Bush tax cuts that only rewards the wealthy that he could not “in good conscience support” in his own words. However, after deciding to run for the Presidency he gutlessly accepted that he needed to bend over for the right wing conservative wing that exiled him over the years for speaking truth over partisanship. So Mr. Straight Talk blatantly chose to go crooked. He embraced the Bush tax cuts and now pushes to make them permanent, because he believes that big corporations like Exxon-Mobile deserve more tax breaks because of some wishful idea that the companies will turn those savings over to their employees in the form of benefits or pay. Do you hear laughter? Why on earth would a corporation do something like that? Why on earth would multi-billion corporations, which ’save’ money through loopholes the size of which engulf those same tax cuts that McCain wants to immortalize anyway, hand over ‘gifts’ to anyone else but themselves? The fact is that they would not. The very idea or thought that they would is true ignorance. The very promise coming out of McCain’s mouth that this would occur is true lunacy and propaganda in its truest form. If it has not happen in 8 years, why give it 4 more?
Wait, there is more. Senator McCain ‘used to be’ a hero to me for various reasons, one of which was that the Vietnam vetaran spoke out so strongly against the very heinous crimes that were performed on himself, torture. However, most in his party are controlled by the Neo-Con wing, who want to keep the unconstitutional Guantanamo Bay open and right wing nuts who get an erection out of torture. In fact, President Bush himself, along with Dick, Condi Rice, Powell, and Rumsfeld actually signed off on allowing torture to occur on detainees, as proven through a recent report in which these usual suspects, minus W physically, had secret meetings in the White House. These officials actually sat there and discussed in detail the very grotesque techniques which can and were then later used. Now what does this have to do with McCain? For one, McCain is aligned with the ‘War President’ or the ‘Torture President’ now, and second, in a Senate vote months ago on the legality of torture, McCain again exemplified his now classic flip-flop status by essentially voting against the illegality of torture! He voted to allow doors to be left open for the allow ability of torture by the CIA instead of finally showcasing his 40 year stance AGAINST torture under any circumstance by slamming all doors shut. Torture by the way is something that W claims America does not do, and is in complete violation of international law. McCain however is somehow in awe for W now and is now the manchurian candidate for the neo-cons just like W was before him. Because I used to commend him for his valor and unfortunately because he has now done a complete 180, I must vilify him for his cowardice
