WHO IS THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR???!!!

Lancer
Cú Chulainn, a hero from the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. He was a demigod, the offspring of a mortal woman, Deichtine, the younger sister of King Conchobar mac Nessa, and the deity, Lugh, the god who governed over the sun and a member of the Danann divine family in Celtic Mythology. Deichtine, the daughter of a druid, Conchobar's father, and Maga, the widow of Ross the Red, disappeared in the Land of the Young without marrying anyone. There, she bore Sétanta, the child of the sun god.

Sétanta took up the name of Cú Chulainn, Culann's savage dog, after accidentally killing the guard dog protecting the house of master blacksmith Culann. The guard dog was well-known to have the strength of ten men.

After becoming a Knight of the Red Branch and fighting numerous wars, Cú finally fell in battle when he fell into scores of traps during the battle, and, battling furiously, he was eventually brutally killed and died pierced by his own magical spear. He would not allow himself to die lying down and tied himself to up to a post. He saw an otter drinking the blood that had spilled into the river, and he died standing while laughing at its greediness. There landed a crow on the shoulder of his standing corpse in his death, said to have been the incarnation of Morrigan who continued to give him her unrequited love.

Years later after his death, Cú was summoned by Caren Hortensia too act as her servant during the Fith Holy Grail War. But became the servant of Kotomine after some trickery by the latter.

Hugo Coghlan
Hugo Coghlan (Hugo Hercules, Cú Chulainn) is an incredibly strong man and considered to be one of the first American superheroes (or "super-fellers" in his words). When he was a young man he visited Cactusville, Texas. There he sired a child who grew up to be Desperate Dan. Hugo worked as a mercenary and assassin for hire. In 1890, Hugo was sent to kill Captain Nemo under the orders of Doctor Nikola, but hesitated when he realized Nemo was in the middle of his honeymoon which is against one of his principles. Furthermore, Nemo hired him at a better price to kill Nikola instead, and keeping him on retainer for Nemo and his family ever since. Shortly after World War I, Hugo was hired by Clark Savage Sr. to kill Hugo Danner in order to get rid of competition with his superhuman son. He confronted Danner in the ruins of Utopia, where Danner planned on creating his version of Utopia built by "perfected humans." After putting up a fight, Hugo finally killed Danner by pulverizing his skull with a headbutt. Hugo was also employed by the Pink Child.

In 1954, Hugo was responsible for wiping out the last of the giant mutant ants in America. He also fought and destroyed a “[Japan] atom-bomb lizard” (presumed to be Godzilla) and have met (and possibly fought) the Yu-Atlanchi gods in South America. In 1975, he accompanied Janni Dakkar in her pursuit of the Ayesha clones. Following the ordeal, Hugo was instructed by a dying Janni to carrying out her final wish to have Hira and Manfred Mors to rule Lincoln Island until her grandson Jack comes of age.
