Just for Laughs? Lobo vs. Popeye The Sailor

[rbezold]

So what do you think? Who would win? Who would you WANT to see win? And should we petition Warner and the Syndicate to make it happen:)

I vote Lobo. Any writer insane enough to actually write this will probably side with the Czarnian.

[Insaniac99]

I dunno, Popeye has shown amazing strength and toughness when on his Spinach high....

[AnotherSkip]

popeye get's my vote.


Lobo just sucks.

[Just A Guy Name]

Anybody remember the classic Comics Journal cover with Popeye knocking the Hulk out of a boxing ring? Sort of a paean to the early Segar strips, where Popeye regularly fought MUCH bigger opponents, and would win with ease.

[Agent X]

Popeye can easily beat Lobo.

[CrosshairCollie]

To paraphrase a bit of recurring flavor text from a popular Trading Card Game ...

"Good ol' spinach. Nothin' beats spinach."

Popeye NEVER stays down.
Lobo looks a lot like Bluto.
You do the math.
Lobo goes down!

Who is this Lobo?

If I'm not mistaken, Lobo is an alien bounty-hunter. He's huge but not much taller than Superman, talks like a biker and rides an alien space-cycle.

I bet on Popeye. As KA stated, Lobo is sorta like Bluto. Regardless of how many times or how hard Bluto tries to win, Popeye can almost fight him at his level without Spinach. Once he gets his spinach, for all practical purposes, he can't be beaten. Once having consumed spinach, he can easily bounce bullets and tankshells off his chest, can have superspeed, supersight, superstrength, superleaping, superswimming, survive tons of explosives without a scratch, etc etc.

You mean... they aren't the same?

Is there a Jack Handy book available?
