The Wolfman is Larry Talbot, a Welsh-born noble who had left for the United States upon his father's decision to name Larry's older brother John Jr.. After John Jr.'s death, Talbot returns to Llanwelly, Wales to reconcile with his father. While in Llanwelly, he becomes interested in a local antique shop owner Gwen Conliffe, who sells him a silver-headed walking stick decorated like a wolf. One night, Talbot rescues Gwen's friend from a wolf attack. Before he kills the beast with his walking stick, the wolf bites him.
It is revealed that the wolf was actually the son of a local gypsy fortuneteller, who was a werewolf. She reveals that Talbot will become a werewolf as well due to the bite. Talbot transforms into a werewolf as she predicts and begins a rampage across the village at night. Talbot's struggles are in vain, and he is killed by his own father in self-defense.
Battle vs. Mister Hyde (by The Deadliest Warrior)[]
Larry Talbot is at his home in Talbot Castle. His father, Sir John Talbot, has just informed him that a doctor from England is coming to pay a visit. The two older men will work on several different theories in recent develops on medicine. The man's name is Dr. Jekyll.
That evening, a well-dressed young man with a nice silver-headed cane arrives. "Good evening," he announces himself. "I am Dr. Jekyll. I believe I am to be working with Sir John Talbot tonight?"
Larry takes him to his father's room and leaves the two men to study. Outside, the full moon is covered by a cloud and the young man is happy to be free of his curse for one extra month. As he relaxes by the fire and starts to slip into something of a doze, he hears a strangled cry from his father's chambers. Quickly, Larry gets up and rushes to see what is the matter.
Upon throwing the door open, Larry sees a stout, hairy man dressed in Jekyll's clothing (which is far too small), swearing and shouting at Sir John, demanding to know where the antidote to "this problem" was. Sir John is slowly being suffocated and bangs the table with his palm frantically. The man turns his head, sees Larry, and throws Larry's father into the corner, where he falls and lays quite still.
Larry turns and starts to run down the stairs of the great hall when the man gives chase, hunched over like a gorilla, lumbering at an alarming rate. "No one escapes Mr. Hyde!" the man proclaims, and leaps excidetly into the air and tackles Larry to the bottom. Mr Hyde bares his teeth and prepares to kill Larry when some fangs of their own bury themselves into Hyde's shoulder. Surprised, Hyde throws his Larry off and stumbles back in shock to find not Larry, but the Wolf Man, snarling at him in Larry's outfit.
Hyde swings a mighty fist at the fast approaching Wolf Man and the beast tumbles back down the stairs. Mr. Hyde clutches his top hat to his head and takes the stairs two at a time and then rushes back into Sir john's room. Hyde grabs the cane and turns, jabbing the bottom end of the stick into the Wolf Man's stomach to keep him at bay.
The Wolf Man scowls and hisses, then runs at the wall and leaps off at an angle, landing on the former Dr. Jekyll. The Wolf Man rakes his claws into Mr. Hyde's side and tears through the fine coat that he dons. Hyde yells in pain and repeatedly punches the Wolf Man in the shapeshifter's soft underbelly. The Wolf Man only bites down on Hyde's neck, but before he can kill the madman, Hyde cracks the silver end of his cane on Larry's back. The Wolf Man rolls over in pain and shock, and Hyde kicks the beast in the face.
As Hyde raises the cane and hits the Wolf Man again, the beast whines and yelps like a frightened dog as the silver in the cane causes more and more damage with each swipe. A desperate scratch to the leg brings Hyde to the floor as well, and with the cane across the room on the floor, Hyde can do little more than watch in horror as the Wolf Man bites down in his neck and tear out a huge chunk of flesh.
The dead body slowly changes back into Dr. Jekyll's corpse, the hideous wound still the same. The Wolf Man howls at the roof above, blood flecking its jaws, before it goes down on all fours and jumps out the open window. Larry will not be back until morning, and he will not know who or what did this heinous crime.
WINNER: THE WOLF MAN
Expert's Opinion[]
Mr. Hyde was defeated by the Wolf Man because often in the middle of the fight he would revert back to Dr. Jekyll and be slaughtered, and even if that wasn't the case, the Wolf Man was stronger, faster, and more vicious than his maniac foe.

Battle vs. Creature from the Black Lagoon (by Tesla Man)[]
the moonlight glimmered on the surface of the murky lagoon, showing the moons reflection as little ripples danced around the water. the moon dissapeared behind a billowing cloud as a splash arose, distorting the clear view of the sky. the dome of a green, slimey, wet creatures head appeared throuh the water, followed by the rest of the head, the shoulders, and stomach of the creature. the beast continued to rise out of the water as sounds of talking arose from the forest. two teenage hunters appeared out of the dense brush, wearing cammo jackets and holding a shotgun in their hands. they continued to talk, as one turned, and stared at the beast, stuttering, and shaking, he eventually ran, as the seccond teenager turned, seeing the creature stumbling towards him.
the aimed his shot gun and fired, missing, he fired again, relizing he was out of ammo. the creature had made it face to face with him, he dropped his gun, as the creature rapped his hands around the teens neck, lifting him up in the air and hurtling him at a tree by the shore. the teen looked up at the waters surface, disoriented, seeing the reflection of the full moon come out from behind the cloud. the creature continued to walk towards him, stumbling. the boy screamed and looked down, noticing he had turned into the he-wolf he dreaded being so much. the jumped up and leaped for the creature, with one paw on its shoulder, another on its head, he kicked the creature with his hind legs, throwing him back, hitting a tree.
the wolf ran toward the creature again, this time scratching his face, and taking a bite out of is arm. the creature, now very annoyed, grabbed the wolf by his shirt collar, and threw him in the water. running out of air, the creature dove in with the wolf, who was now struggling to swim, and grabbed him by the legs, pulling him down. the wolf kicked as hard as he could, trying to break free, then finaly sliced the creatures face with a toe claw, forcing him to let go.
the wolf started swimming for a rock in the middle of the lagoon, to jump on, as the creature thrashed around under the water, trying to subdue the pain. the wolf finaly made it to the rock, and crawled on top, gasping for breath, soaking wet. he tried to stand up, but his wet coat and shaking legs prevented that. he took one last breath, and saw two giant webed feet stnd infront of his eyes. the creature lifted him up, than stared into the exausted wolfs eyes, as the moon dissapeared behind a cloud. the wolf turned back to a teenager, and the creature slammed the teens head against the rock face, killing him instantly.
the creature turned then walked into the water once more, rotating his head to take a look at the dead body. the camera zooms in on the creatures face, and freezes the picture.
