Flynn Rider is a thief and scoundrel, seeking to find greater riches for himself to retire from life. Flynn was born an orphan named Eugene Fitzherbert, reading stories about dashing heroes with wealth and adventures. Flynn took the name for himself, but found life to be much more cruel and boring in reality. He instead became a thief, eventually stealing a priceless crown and hiding in a seemingly abandoned tower.
Once he enters the tower, he is discovered by its lone inhabitant Rapunzel. She takes the crown away from it, and demands that Rider take her to a festival in exchange for it. Rider and Rapunzel go on an adventure to take her to the festival, interacting with various individuals while growing closer together. When Rapunzel's mother Gothel stabs him, she uses her magic hair to heal him. Rider and Rapunzel confess their love for each other and marry, with Rider using his birth name.

Flynn Rider 3-3 Jack Sparrow
Flynn Rider, greatest thief in the kingdom, and two other bandits are preparing to steal the map to the Fountain of Youth while its at a nearby port being loaded onto on a different ship. However, Jack Sparrow is prepared for them, and he and two other hired pirates stand near the chest with the map, keeping a watchful eye. Suddenly, a crossbow bolt soars through the air hitting a pirate in the throat. (3-2)
The other pirate whips around and fires his flintlock, only to miss one of the thieves who tackles him and draws his machete, only to stabbed in the chest by Jack. (2-2)
The pirate is about to say thank you to Jack when Flynn bashes him over the head witch a frying pan and throws him off the side of the ship. Jack thrusts forward with the boarding pike, but Flynn dodges and it hits the thief behind him in the eye, who screams in agony before Jack shoots him point blank in the temple. (1-1)
Flynn draws his machete and charges forward clashing blades with Jack. "So mate what makes you want the fountain so badly?" says Jack in between clashes. Flynn stops and dodges Jacks throw of his pike, then says, "Well when you got a face like this and your name is Flynn Rider, wouldn't you want to be like that forever?" and kicks Jack into a pile of boxes. Flynn moves into finish off Jack, and shouts, "Just give me the map and I wont have to kill... " suddenly he finds Jack missing from the knocked over pile of boxes. "Anyone?" he finishes his sentence, baffled, just as a blade pierces his stomach. "Sorry mate, but I don't share." says Jack as he throws Flynns body off the ship. (0-1)
He looks back at his chest only to find it open and the map gone. "Next time, don't leave the key in the lock!" yells Flynn as he swims away to find a doctor, triumphant that he has bested Jack Sparrow. However, he probably didn't need to get stabbed...
Winner: Jack Sparrow
Expert's Opinion[]
Sparrow won this easily as he had better up close weapons and was a far better swordsman than Flynn. Rider never stood a chance.
