See, I would've said Nick Fury, but then, I remembered there was that tv movie with Nick in it, and you might recall that The Hoff played Nick, and that just means that Nick's really a pussy, if a dickwad like The Hoff can portray him.

James Bond did have Timothy Dalton portray him, and that kinda weakened his power rating, but with the strong portrayals by Sean and Pierce, and even the ok job done by Roger, there's really no contest.

James is the shizzle, yo.

I gotta say, the movies were howlers, but Dalton's portrayal was remarkably close to the hardened, misanthropic killer Fleming originally wrote. With some support from writers and directors, Dalton could totally boost Bond's power rating.

Less said about Lazenby, though...

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Well, for me the attempt to PC things by making Dalton's Bond not so misogynistic/womanizing really fucked with things.

Ah, I kinda liked the Lazenby movie. Maybe it was b/c of the ending... *shrugs*

C'mon, at least give the man credit for knowing who to be a fan of, won't ya?

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Give who credit for what?

How is this even up for debate? Bond all the way. Let's face it, Bond could take Doom. Bond could probably take on Kang and come out without much more than his hair ruffled.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Now, I have to disgree - Doom could take Bond just as easily as Bond taking Doom. Doom's got magic and other mojo that JB isn't used to dealing with. JB could seriously fuck up Doom's plans and stuff like that, but in a one-on-one, I'd have to go with the good Doctor D.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

I doubt Bond is dumb enough to confront Doom directly. He'd undermine him from within and then attack when Doom is weakest.

If the Broccolis couldn't kill Bond, I don't think Nick Fury stands much of a chance. Ultimate Fury is "played" by Samuel L., who, while still the baddest m*****f***** in the room, has been in The Man and Formula 51 to balance out his Jules-fu.

He's resourceful, I'll grant you, and he runs S.H.I.E.L.D., but that just means Bond gets operational support beyond his own bad self. I think I gotta hand it to Mr. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang here.

That's the funniest thing I've read in the last seven days!

Ha ha. Die Nick Fury! Or should I say Nick Furry!

[thebitterguy]

Oh, God. Did you see the new Howling Commandos miniseries that Giffen is doing? It makes my blood curdle.

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

Mr. Fury would be less distacted by silly things like Martinis, girls and whether the crease in his tuxedo paints looked just so.

Advantage Fury. He was, after all, head of the Howling Commandos.

I think that anyone who started off as a comics fan is gonna say Fury has it over Bond. Vice-versa Bond fans.

All I need to say is this:

- Flying aircraft carriers
- Life Model Decoy robots that are so passable as their source person that they begin to think they are them - like a cool Robert Ludlum "deep-cover" story
- Flying cars
- Jetpacks in more than one episode
- Bad guys who could be your next door neighbour in a mask.
- OTHER bad guys who are disgruntled MENSA graduatesm with body surgery and a bad attitude.

...this is not mentioning the fact that eachof those evil organisations is headed by an ex-Nai who's had a grudge against the lead caharcter since they punched them in the face in WWII.

Fury might not beat Bond, because Bond MUST win in everything he's in (its in his contract), but Fury & Co. are 3 million times COOLER than Bond.

(EVEN when they're drawn by George Tuska - and that's going a ways).

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Nah, Fury just isn't as cool as Bond. If he were, he'd score more often. As it is, nobody who smokes that many cigars and is that cranky has gotten any for at least two years. I might even push that up to five in Fury's case.

[thebitterguy]

That's pretty much it. A guy who flies in a helicarrier and fights MODOK would wins over a guy who fights Telly Savalas and whose car doesn't even fly.

[dewline.livejournal.com]

Which reminds me...has anyone ever tried to top Eliot Brown's tech drawings for any class of Helicarrier?

It looks kinda wacky, actually. I'll pass on that.

But, hey, vote! Vote!

[rpriske.livejournal.com]

If you can count the Hasselhof Fury, I can count the Ultimate Fury, in all his Samuel Jackson glory.

Fury wins.

[thebitterguy]

Excellent! Fatality!

[(Anonymous)]

The Ultimate Fury is, at least the way he's currently written, the kind of guy you send a guy like Bond to kill.

[madmanofprague.livejournal.com]

Bond has villains. Fury has supervillains. Simple as that.

However, I do not like Bond, and have no recollection of Fury aside from a couple borrowed issues of Ultimates. My opinion is of dubious relevance.

[thebitterguy]

To be honest, someone can just vote based on preference, hard fought statistical battles, or random choice. I can show you some reprints of Steranko's Fury sometime.
