While I was flipping channels, I saw one of those Hollywood bar fights and I was reminded of the "Beat It" music video and a joke I made at the time that if I were in a street fight, I would want Michael Jackson on the other side! In that spirit, who would you rather have on your side in a bar fight:
- (I am deliberately using "real" names here---makes it more honest in a way!)
- Han Solo or Indiana Jones?
- Daniel Rand or Val Armorr?
- Oliver Queen or Clint Barton?
- Natasha Romanova or Kathy Kane?
- Moose Mason or Flash Thompson?
- Strider or Hogun the Grim?
- Popeye or Asterix?
- James T. Kirk or Nick Fury?
- Hal Jordan (no ring) or Ben Grimm (no cosmic rays)
- John Clayton or Kent Allard or Clark Savage, Jr.?
I left off Steve Rogers and Bruce Wayne because, quite frankly, they have been discussed to death and I would merely follow the path that they cleared away!
Your choices or picks of your own? Any genre goes!

Han Solo
Danny Rand
Clint Barton
Natasha...although she'd likely stab me in the back at some point.
Moose. Flash doesn't make good decisions, and I think Moose is more physically intimidating.
Hogun
Popeye. Event without spinach.
Fury. Kirk wouldn't be in the discussion.
Ben Grimm. Hal--ring or no ring--is an idiot, and more likely to escalate the situation. Ben would likely attempt to talk his way out.
Doc Savage.
Buffy Summers, Xena, Beatrix Kiddo, and Diana Prince.
Indiana Jones is much the more impressive fighter than Han.
Val Armorr knows many systems of martial art, including those of other planets, and has fought Superboy hand-to-hand on at least one occasion.
70s Oliver Queen was a good scrapper. I don’t know Hawkeye would do as well without his arrows.
Ben Grimm comes from a tougher background than Hal.
I'm not sufficiently familiar with Clayton's and Savage's adventures to say which has performed the most impressive feats. Savage on the theory that he’d be less likely to do something that might cause legal difficulties.
What was I thinking? Savage would kidnap our opponents and change their personalities with illegal brain surgery.I could be held as an accessory. Clayton by a country mile.
Not Allard, as I don't want gunplay.
I originally wrote that Natasha was probably a better fighter than Kathy, and Kathy would distract me when she swung from the chandelier. But the truth is I wouldn't be able to see her from my place under the table.
Han - Hes a real member of the underworld and had probably been in more fistfights than Indy
Val - A universe of training takes this one.
Clint - Another former criminal who takes this one.
Natasha - Easily
Flash - Just because I like his name better
Strider - No reason, I have no dog in this fight.
Popeye - Uh because hes a sailor?
Fury - Because Kirk can suck it.
Ben - Hes a real scrapper, and I don't even like the guy.
Clark - He won the coin flip.
And, although this isn't part of this survey, you know Captain America beats Batman any six days of the week, and twice on Sunday ...
Gut reactions, and without reading any other replies:
My thinking of my picks:
More picks later!
