Epic Battle of Epicness: Round 1: Bayside: Mickey Mouse v. Freddy Krueger

Name: Mickey Mouse A.K.A.: - Hometown: Disneyland Known For: Making millions of people happy. Strength: Being cute Weakness: Not too smart Wins: -

VS

Name: Freddy Krueger A.K.A.:  - Hometown: Springwood Known For: Killing teens in their sleep Strength: Knows your every weakness Weakness: Once you stop believing in him, he no longer has power. Wins: -

Mickey Mouse is a great character, he is happy-go-lucky and never wants to hurt anyone. He is the mascot of a multi-million dollar, international company, with the forces that come with it behind him. Freddy Krueger is the "son of a hundred maniacs" and is a child killer. His no-holds bar fighting technique guarantees that Freddy would take down the mouse in just a few seconds. But Mickey is the "final girl" and the only surviving character because of his innocence and his ability to turn dreams into wishes. 
Conclusion: Mickey Mouse v Freddy Krueger

Epic Battle of Epicness: Round 1: Bayside: Buffy Summers v. Sabrina Spellman

Name: Buffy Summers A.K.A.: The Slayer; The Chosen One Hometown: Sunnydale Known For: Dyeing, twice Strength: Super strong, super flexible, prophetic dreams Weakness: Snogging with vampires and caring too much about her friends Wins: -

VS

Name: Sabrina Spellman A.K.A.: - Hometown: Westbridge Known For: Using magic to solve problems Strength: Great friend Weakness: Always uses magic to solve problems Wins: -

Buffy Summers is the longest active slayer in history. Her friends are one of her greatest weapons, but she does have a soft spot for souled vampires and she never hurts humans (at least never chooses to). Sabrina is a walking mistake, she has great friends, but does rotten things to them, usually by mistake because she uses magic to solve her problems, then once doing things the mortal way, she can make them right. We've already seen Buffy v. a witch - twice. When it was her friend, she tried not to hurt her, but when it was a monster of the week, Buffy took her down. Buffy wins, unless Sabrina can charm her with her quirkiness to befriend her. Buffy wins.
Conclusion: Buffy Summers v Sabrina Spellman

Epic Battle of Epicness: Round 1: Magic Kingdom: Tommy Oliver v. Katniss Everdeen

Name: Tommy Oliver A.K.A.: Green Ranger, White Ranger, Red Zeo Ranger, Red Turbo Ranger, Black Dino Thunder Ranger Hometown: Angel Grove, California Known For:  Being the epic 6th ranger Strength: Leadership and martial arts Weakness: Late, a bit headstrong Wins: -

VS

Name: Katniss Everdeen A.K.A.: The Girl on Fire Hometown: District 12 Known For: Causing a rebellion Strength: Hunting Weakness: Emotionless Wins: -

Tommy was the hero of our collective childhood, he was evil, had an awesome zord, was good, lost his powers, came back again and we loved him. But he could only just barely outsmart or outfight his main opponent. Katniss is great at archery and has no problem killing a person, but it does eventually drive her mad. In a fight to the death, Tommy, as a power ranger, has much more arsenal at his disposal and could take her down, but he wouldn't kill a human. Katniss, beaten to a bloody pulp, would muster the strength to take Tommy out.
Conclusion: Tommy v. Katniss

Epic Battle of Epicness: Round 1: Hogwarts: Carl Grimes v. Elphaba Throppe

Name: Carl Grimes A.K.A.: - Hometown: Zombie Infested Georgia Known For: Wandering off Strength: Cares a lot for his father Weakness: Aging quicker than time allows Wins: -

VS

Name: Elphaba Throppe A.K.A.: The Wicked Witch of the West Hometown: Quadling Country, Oz Known For: Being green Strength: Can read a special magic book Weakness: Spells go wrong Wins: -

Carl is a playful child for most of his tenure on Walking Dead, and makes careless mistakes that causes trouble for all of the people in his "family." Elphaba also makes careless mistakes, but does them to take down a wizard. In a fight to the death, unless he has a bucket of water handy, this round goes to Elphaba.
Conclusion: Carl v. Elphaba

Epic Battle of Epicness: Round 1: Metropolis: Kermit the Frog v. Fa Mulan

Name: Kermit the Frog A.K.A.: - Hometown: Hollywood Known For: Being green Strength: Very friendly Weakness: Short temper Wins: -

VS

Name: Fa Mulan A.K.A.: Ping Hometown: China Known For: Cross dressing Strength: Caring for her family Weakness: Doesn't look like a boy Wins: -

Kermit is the lovable frog that has had an on-again-off-again relationship with a pig for several decades. He is the glue that holds the Muppets together, but sometimes throws temper tantrums. And like Mulan he has a good singing voice. Mulan saved her country (and her father) by masquerading as a man to fight in the army. And even after she is found out and dishonored, she still defends the Emperor. Mulan is very brave and even gets the guy in the end. She wins.  
Conclusion: Kermit the Frog v Fa Mulan

Epic Battle of Epicness: Round 1: Metropolis: Dr. Sheldon Cooper v. Billy Cranston

Name: Dr. Sheldon Cooper A.K.A.: - Hometown: Passadena Known For: Being slightly autistic Strength: Very smart Weakness: Crazily ritualistic with poor social skills Wins: -

VS

Name: Billy Cranston A.K.A.: Blue Power Ranger Hometown: Angel Grove Known For: Building zords Strength: Speed, agility, strength, and super smarts Weakness: Afraid of fish, lacks social skills Wins: -

Genius versus genius! Sheldon and Billy have a lot of the same traits, they are super smart, ill-understood by their friends, not many friends but those who are forced upon them by circumstances. in a battle of brains, they are tied. In a battle of brawn, Billy would win, but unless Sheldon was doing something truly evil (not outside the realm of reality) Billy would not fight. So this one comes down to attractiveness. Billy, hands down. 
Conclusion: Dr. Sheldon Cooper v Billy Cranston

Epic Battle of Epicness: Round 1: Magic Kingdom: Lisa Simpson v. Han Solo

Name: Lisa Simpson A.K.A.: - Hometown: Springfield Known For: Being Level Headed Strength: Super smart when compared to every other citizen in her world Weakness: Social awkward Wins: -

VS

Name: Han Solo A.K.A.: - Hometown: Corillia Known For: The Original Smolder Strength: Shoots first Weakness: Asks questions later Wins: -

Having been in the 2nd grade for over 20 years, Lisa has had so many different personalities that she might even be a little crazy. Han shot first, got the princess, and saved the galaxy a long time ago. Both stand up for what they believe in, but Han is way more epic.
Conclusion: Lisa Simpson v. Han Solo

Epic Battle of Epicness: Round 1: Magic Kingdom: Gollum v. Wolfman

Name: Gollum A.K.A.: Smeagol Hometown: Gladden Fields Known For: Being creepy Strength: Wants the ring Weakness: Crazy Wins: -

VS

Name: Wolfman A.K.A.: Larry Talbot Hometown: Llanwelly Known For: Midnight raids Strength: Wolf like powers Weakness: Only activated by the light of the moon Wins: -

Gollum is crazy and Wolfman is impulsive. I think the stars would have to align for them to fight. Wolfman would have to have the ring and it would have to be a full moon. If it is just a battle of awesomeness, then Gollum is way more awesome, despite his craziness, he still is a major antagonist for the heroes of his story. 
Conclusion: Gollum v Wolfman
