This very important question came up at the dinner table. In a fight between Superman and Darth Vader, who would win? My first inclination is that superman would win. Others have violently disagreed. If you have a vote, I'll compile them and post the results to the net. Ben Priest ihnp4!ihuxm!brp -- !ihuxm!brp

<blank line> In a fight between Supes and Darth I would vote that Darth would win. The reason being that the force could be considered as magic and I once read where Supes IS vulnerable to the effects of magic. Whether or not the force is indeed magic remains to be determined (by popular vote I suppose). If it is not magic, then Supes would win. Supersparrow vs. Darth Sparrow Who knows??? ps. Unless, of course, Darth had some kryptonite.

<It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's . . . Anakin Skywalker?> Who would win in that fight? Gee, what a dumb question. Seems as if Supes would probably win if he attacked first and from a distance. Vader might win if he got Supes into a close-up battle, since his Light Saber is a sufficiently high-tech weapon that it can probably at least HURT ol' Supes. He would use his command of the Force to be able to hit Supes, and to deflect much of his superior strength. Ridiculous notion, why do I even bother, mutter mutter. Hutch

Bear in mind that Superman only maintains his invulnerability
and other neat tricks when he is within the sphere of influence
of a yellow sun (such as Sol). Darth, on the other hand, is
faced with no restrictions whatsoever on his use/benefits
of the Force.
All this merely points out that you must also consider the
battlefield location to predict the victor. I'll go with
Darth in the long haul. He could draw Sup out to a red sun
world and beat the cape off him!
