Elgb's "Dark Universe Anyone?" EDGES!!!

Weapon of Choice: I have to give this one straight to the dagger. Actual weapons always beat improvised weapons since they were originally designed to kill. Count also the fact that the cane has a reach advantage but lacks in killing potential due to its improvsed and unreliable blunt force, while the blade is more efficient since it can gut a guy easily or shank him in a vital point for an instant kill. EDGE: Griffin

Method: Yeah brute strength alone is inferior comapred to a combiantion of stealth and cunning. Hyde's method of attack is basically "flail around and hope for the best", but against Griffin who can use his wit to maneuver the reckless Hyde in places he won't literally see and kill him cleanly afterwards, it's no content that the smarter guy always win. EDGE: Griffin

Power: Hard to decide. Being able to overpower and outrun a group of people is useful, but there is something unique to being invisible and hit an opponent when he won't be expecting. In the end, I have to go with Griffin. Hyde wasn't really that much of a fighter and while he's definately stronger and faster, he's only as durable as any normal human being. So one quick and unexpected stab to the back is all Griffin needs. EDGE: Griffin

Deadliest Warrior?

I'm going against the tide here and vote for the underdog the Invisible Man. Hyde does have the advantage of strength and brutality that should have given him the victory, but don't forget that Griffin is smarter, more cunning and has that invisibilty power that would kill Hyde right even before the battle can start.

Another reason why I give Griffin the vote here is Hyde was basically a wuss through all his original incarnations. Most of his victims were defenceless women adn unarmed people, kills that are not even remotely impressive. In the literature its still unknown if he actually killed someone, and in the movie well he did an aweful job when he got surrounded by the police. Invisible Man on the other hand did a better job in causing terror. He's been able to constantly outrick and outfight armed mobs, and most of his murders were done more calculatingly. Griffin basically took on a whole town armed to the teeth and almost won, while Hyde took his violent urges on unarmed women, so it doesn't really take much to figure out who was more impressive. If Hyde is pitted against opponents that are not as unarmed and defenceless, then he's automatically toast.

If it comes to the fight, Hyde's gonna have a hard time trying to even touch the more guile Griffin. And just one quick stab or strike from Griffin would be enough to put Hyde down. If Hyde does survive he'll try desperately to drag himself away before Griffin finally finishes him off.
