 * Melee- Zim. Alien Hominid is fast and his bite can kill with incredible speed, but the PAK is faster, has superior range, more options and allows Zim to move about easier as a mobility bonus in addition to being a decent weapon. The removal of the PAK is a death sentece, certainly, but the question then becomes whether or not the Hominid can get to it and take it off, and Zim's got enough tools in the weapon to keep that frm happening, I think.


 * Mid-Range- Alien Hominid. The Plunger may be able to stun, but is ultimately not all that effective as a weapon, while Alien with the knife is quick and absoultely brutal- he can move in quickly with his speed and agility, and clearly knows exactly how to use the weapon to get maximum results in the speediest and most effecient manner. Zim's plunger is a plunger.


 * Long Range- Alien Hominid. Hominid's blaster is simply the more effective of the two. Zim's gun is a basic energy weapon, while Hominid's is not only able to rapidly fire your usual plasma/laser/what have you space cartoon projectile, it's also capable of firing multiple types of alternate firing methods, such as incendiary and acidic shots, making it the more versatile and useful weapon.


 * Special- Alien Hominid. The Mech sounds awesome, but then you remember that Zim himself can hardly use the thing. It has intense energy problems that force it to be manually plugged into nearby outlets, which reduce it's mobility and usefulness a great deal. Zim himself is no master at piloting the craft, and is thus unable to come close to bringing it to its full potential, using the stronger weapons on the mech cause it to shut down entirely because of the massive energy requirements, and it leaves the pilot clearly visable, making the entire stealth aspect useless. Alien's greandes are quick, simple to use and effecient. Zim's mech is bulky, ineffeciant and easy to cripple.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Alien Hominid. Hominid is simply the capable warrior. I like Invader Zim a lot, but as a character and as a warrior, Zim is incompetent and crippled by his own inability to use his equipment well. Alien Hominid is more dangerous because Alien Hominid can actually fight and kill effectively.
