You'd think, on first glance, that Optimus Prime would be a good contender, but both Luke and Wolvie have excellent records against oversized, vaguely anthropomorphic machines (Sentinels, AT-ATs, etc.) On the other hand I can't see either of them slicing up the kid. So I'm voting Yagathai on this one. I think he bushwhacks Potter after the other three take each other out.

When Wolverine wants someone dead, they're dead.

But Magneto schools him every time, and Luke's Force powers are a lot like Magneto's magnetism.

and luke took down that atat walker with just a light sabre and a grenade.

he'd probably do the same thing to o.p.

Problem is, Wolverine's healing factor has changed over time to the point where, as far as I can tell, he simply can't die. That doesn't mean he wins, per se, but can he really lose?

Also, can a lightsaber slice through adamantium? I would think so.

He can die if beheaded, and theoretically he can be killed by magic, or if he is burned/irradiated enough to kill every single living cell in his entire body.

PS you never told me what you thought of yesterday's Music Monday selection. ;D

Thank you!!!

I am offended, sir, that Edward the Sparkly Vampire did not appear in this round.

Otherwise, Wolverine is disqualified from "The Most Thinly Veiled Character Archetype" because he simply *is* that particular archetype. That's like saying King Arthur is a thinly veiled character archetype. And also, I maintain that he can defeat wielders of magic, Jedi knights, and ten-story tall robots with his sheer awesome moodiness.

But both Luke and Harry are also astoundingly emo.

Yes, but in a crippling, teen rock emo sort of way. Not in an ass-kicking, power metal emo sort of way.

Fair point. And a bonus point for framing things in terms of metal.

I'm thinking Optimus Prime as a Death Lantern with the Lantern Charger thing in place of The Matrix (was that the heart thing?).

I just wanna see Optimus Prime on a head-shrinker's couch.

Wolverine would behead Luke before Luke had a chance to bring himself to Jedi the metal out of him. Wolverine does not wait for his theme music.

I don't think any of the fictional characters could be bothered to see a shrink, nor would they talk to one if forced to go. You, on the other hand, are a seething cauldron of insecurities and idiosyncracies.

Hey!

I do not seethe.

I thought "seething" would sound more manly than "burbling" (burbleing?)" ;)
