  Nintendo and Sega’s flagship heroes come face to face for the first time in this Old-Wizard melee of epic proportions. Who is the stronger hero? Mario looks like an average plumber but everyone who has ever picked up a controller knows how strong he is. Sonic looks strong with his uber-cocky attitude and his needled back that surely wreaks damage on anyone who comes his way. Just picture it, Mario in the first Mario level coming across goombas and koopa troopas and then all of the sudden there’s Sonic standing in his way preventing Mario from jumping onto the flag and into the subterranean level. Would Mario be able to knock out the confident Sonic or would Mario be kept out from the rest of the game because of Sonic’s strength? This topic will be discussed in this article. Let the battle rage on.

• Why the Sentry is the Worst Comic Book Character of All Time

  In theory the Sentry is a really cool superhero. But the unfortunate reality is that whenever the Sentry actually makes an appearance in a comic book he usually ruins the story. Why does Marvel continue to use this character? No one can seem to write him correctly. The best and most recent example of this is in the very poorly written World War Hulk storyline when he fought the Hulk. He is supposed to possess the power of “a million exploding suns”, but yet, when we see him “unleash his power like never before” (in Reed Richard’s words) he merely destroys a few city blocks on Manhattan Island and even normal mortals are left alive and uninjured standing right next to ground zero. Given what we previously knew about the Sentry he should have utterly destroyed the Hulk in a one on one confrontation, even in a simple, not to mention predictable slug-fest (which is pretty much what the much anticipated fight between the two powerhouses turned out to be). Why didn’t the Sentry unleash his other powers on the Hulk? Why didn’t the Sentry calm down the Hulk (much like Reed Richards’ synthetic version of the Sentry’s calming effect almost did to the Hulk just a couple of issues before)?
