Stitch. Can't be hurt by fire, is bullet proof, and can be run over repeatedly with a tanker truck.

Honor Harringron might be an iteresting opponent for this fight to. She is stronger and faster than normal humans, have an artificial eye ( important to see the predator ) and is both very good with a ranged weapon and during a hand to hand fight. Her ability to feel other persons by their emotions might be very useful too.

Even without Nimitz she is deadly, but if Nimitz is with her..... :lol:

I'd say a Warcraft III Tauren Warrior would carry the day or at least come close. A bit slow, there primary weapon is an uprooted tree trunk which they smash people with.

Gerard would win, if it weren't the scenario it is, since he's able to alter reality at will, but that would change the scenario. Although, if he weren't killed outright, we know Amberites have major recuperative abilities...

Personally, I like the T-1000 series in this fight (Terminator 2). Its ability to withstand almost anything you could find in the present-day world is second to none (Only extreme heat's been demonstrated to destroy it, although after extreme cold, its systems won't be fully functional). Plus, its shape-shifting abilities have been demonstrated to let it take a punch to the chest, absorb the assailant's arm, and then use that as the hold for a throw. I wasn't impressed by its fighting style, mind you, or the T-800's, but when you're a "kinetic poly-alloy", you don't exactly need to be Wong Fei-Hung.

It never hurts to be Wong Fei-Hung, simply being powerful and tough is not a reason to neglect skill and technique. Think how vicious the terminators would be if they were programmed to move like Shao-lin masters.

That would be far too scary. Although I imagine such programming would be fairly difficult to write (unfortunately, I am neither a computer programmer nor a Shaolin monk, so I can't tell you much about either).

But you're right, a robot with that sort of fighting skill would be a fearsome thing indeed. Arnold would've been far more intimidating if he could move with the quickness or precision, of, say, Bruce Lee. Nonetheless, I think that such programming would be pointless on the T-1000, given its anthropomorphic abilities.

But I doubt we'll ever get a decent hand-to-hand fighting robot in any sci-fi. Last time an American studio tried that, I think it was Robocop 3, and look how that turned out.

Once again, Anime to the rescue! Battle Angel has kickass martial arts combined with cyborgs, sisestepping the computer issue by using a human brain style controller.

Oh yeah. I forgot about video games. We also have the robot ninjas from Mortal Kombat 3, in that case.
