Spear vs Claws and Teeth: This comparison was difficult to decide upon. The claws and teeth are no doubt more lethal since one swipe to the head would have knocked a human out, and a swipe to any part of the body would be enough to create large tears in the flesh that would bleed out in a matter of minutes. The moment Simba gets a bite on Tarzan's head or neck, then the apeman is toast. A bite to any part of the body, would be enough to mangle, dismember and cripple that limb. If Simba ever gets pass that spear point, then Tarzan is in a very dangerous position.

That being said, Tarzan's spear has the length to keep Simba at bay. If Simba cannot successfully sneak upon Tarzan, then he will be stuck trying to get past that spear. Tarzan can just push that spear right into Simba if he tries to charge at him, and a stab to head or the abdomen would put Simba down. And if I remember, Tarzan can actually chuck that spear at his target, making it a range weapon as well (we only see Tarzan throw that spear when he was a kid, but that still means he can make throwable spears). So I have to lean towards the spear in the end.

Edge: Tarzan

Superhuman Physiology vs Lion Physiology: Even though Tarzan is strong and fast, Simba is still bigger, faster and probably more durable because he's a lion. Tarzan's only advantage is his human hands which allows him to climb better than Simba, but on the ground face to face and without any weapons, Simba would still own Tarzan.

That being said, if this was Tarzan's feats during the tv show is also up for consideration. I might give him the ege since if I remember, in the show he was able to outwrestle a rhino and catch an arrow with his hand as it flew towards him (and he was not even looking). But still, Simba has the edge for me.

Edge: Simba

Verdict: Although Simba is packing better physicality in this fight since he's a lion, in the end I have to give this to Tarzan. The apeman has far more feats, and is practically smarter. We never really see Simba being much of a badass during that movie, and his fight with those hyenas and the wimpy Scar was impressive, but not as impressive as Tarzan's. You see, the Son of Man, while being only technically human, can take on larger, stronger and faster animals than him. He went on a dance of death with Sabor the Leopard, showing both strength and reflexes. He even held on to Ker'chak the Gorilla when the latter tried to attack Jane. And let's not also forget his duel with Clayton in the end. Overall, human cunning beats animal ferocity in this battle in my opinion.

Winner: Tarzan
