“Two men enter. One man leave.”

That’s the principle here behind The Arena. Because we at Chaser know that after women and wine, there’s nothing. So we whittle our time away with bullshit conjecture about ridiculous hypotheticals. We take two things, pit them against each other in The Arena, poll our staff and see who comes out on top. Then you tell us how fucking stupid we are.

Begin. 

The similarities between X-Men and Heroes are too obvious: Two groups of genetic mutants that are supposedly the next step in human evolution. This is a tough one with all the similarities. Peter is like Rogue, Claire is like Wolverine, DL is like Kitty Pryde, etc. I think there is one key difference. Sylar is much more sinister than Magneto or any other villain. Sylar also has not only several different powers, but he understands how the whole "Mutant X" DNA works. He thus has power over all other heroes/mutants with his knowledge and potential for the future. It is impossible not to draw comparisons and end up asking who would end up victorious in a battle to end all battles.
