Kevin's Watch

Which of these legendary characters ( is the biggest jerk ) is the heavy weight champ of anti-hero's, and why?

Elric was the heavyweight because he didnt just kill them, he stole their souls to feed his sword.

Ol Elric had some unhealthy urges towards his cousin as well.

I'll ask: Who is Elric of Melbourne?

dw

The albino warrior...

Stombringer was his sword and killing was his destiny.

Well he's not Australian, Im certain of that, Elric of Melnibone is a notorius character created by author Michael Moorcock (not sure of that spelling) who had a nasty habit of bringing about the demise of people that he didnt want dead. Though not a leper, he was an albino, and he carried an isatiable sword with a hunger for souls.

Prince Elric of Melnebone, Last Ruler of the Bright Empire, wielder of the Black Sword Stormbringer. He ruled an empire he didn't want, wanted to marry his first cousin (before her brother could marry her), destroyed his empire to get back at his cousin Yrkoon (the brother of the women he wanted to marry), and after many adventures where the sword ends up killing just about anybody he loved or cared for, he eventually destroys the world so that it can be reborn, but ends up getting killed by his own sword (Stormbringer) therefore letting evil be introduced to the new universe.

Still waiting to see how Thomas Covenant is going to go down in history.

Elric is an excellent character...one of the first fantasy series I ever read, he and his evil Rune Sword "Stormbringer" will always be dear to me.

I do like TC though, the Chrons are in all probability the greatest fantasy epic ever commited to paper. SRD's Giants are golden, no other author can create giants such as these...and as for the Bloodguard/Haruchi....pure unadulterated awesomeness

BTW, Elric also had a magic ring, when he was given it he was told that "this is yours, wherever you see it, whenever you see it, it belongs to you" (or words to that effect).

Hell, come to think of it, Elric is the "Eternal Champion", using MM's "rules", there is no reason that he and Covenant couldn't be the same entity.

Great site by the way, I never knew it existed...I first bought & read the Chrons over 15 years ago, I read them again recently in preperation for ordering the first two books in the FCoTC.

Hell with Elric and TC.

What about Bannor v. Batman...

Gotta give this one to the Batman, if for no other reason than than the Batman doesn't "distain weapons".

Imagination vs. Imagination it's all going on in your head. Fiction vs. Fiction it does not exist

Nah, Bannor would just carjack the batmobile and use it against him. Sure, it would probably take him about twenty seconds to figure out how to drive, but then...

Mini me would bite Batman in the liver.

What???

More interesting to me would be Bannor vs. Catwoman, and Batman vs. a Cavewight. Just because I don't like seeing the good guys fight each other.

Have not read Elric. I've tried reading Michael Moorcock's work before, but it's just not for me.

The last time I fought Catwoman I needed a whole bottle of bactine after.
