It all started with a reader's e-mail. "Please
help," wrote Ian Booth. "There's a huge
argument betweenm
e and my mates. Who
would win - a Jedi Knight or Superman?" In
his 771-word response, HowStuffWorks
staffer Robert Valdes examined the scenario
from several angles. He shared his thoughts
with the rest of us, and that was all it took.
Before long, break-room and lunch talk
revolved around who could take on Superman.
In this article, we'll look at what it takes to
beat Superman and whether a range of foes
could win against him. Like Superman, our
opponents are all stars from big-name
movies, books and comic books.
Let the games begin.
