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

I definitely feel foolish responding to this one... If Darth Vader and Superman had a fight, the winner would almost certainly be George Lucas. -Dan Klein, Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh

What if Superman fought for the Nazis in WWII?

What if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly?

<chomp...chomp> As I remember the Superman story, his powers are due to the atmospheric, gravitational, molecular densities, and other such differences between his native Krypton and the lovable planet Earth. If this is the case, then the results of the battle between Superman and Darth would depend on which planet the fight takes place. Darth's power on the other hand seems to be universal. -- Kevin Kulhanek ..!ihnp4!ihopa!kirk AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, Il.

It would depend on the circumstances. For example, DV could take out Superman in a sneak attack if the Force is indeed magic. However, Superman could implement one heckuva sneak attack of his own by flying at Vader at near-lightspeed and ramming. -Jack Applin Kandor

I saw that scenario on an old Saturday Night Live show titled "What If"?
Turns out the Nazis win (by the way, they called him Uberman), and courtesy
of Uberman's x-ray vision, he finds out that Jimmy Olson is a Jew (who then
gets taken away).

(oo)
Doctor Who would defeat them BOTH with charm, pinache, wit, and
intrigue. The Daleks have been trying to get him for eons, and he
wins every time......

[Pro bono publicum] Well, put Superman and Dr. Who and Darth Vader and Ronnie the Wonder Elephant and Luke Warmwater and all those hoohaa's in the /bin. Add ice. Shake. (Don't stir...) Voila!
