Last week, actor James Marsters shared his thoughts about how a vampire battle between his "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" character Spike and "Twilight" bloodsucker Edward Cullen would turn out. The "Dragonball Evolution" star also offered MTV News some thoughts on a few more matchups involving fan-favorite characters -- this time, pitting a pair of “Dragonball” characters (including his own character, the villainous Lord Piccolo) against some familiar contenders from comics and television.
“For my money, Goku is the most exciting hero to come around since, what, the '60s?” Marsters told MTV News. “All my favorite heroes come from the depression -- Superman, Batman -- or from the '60s. There haven’t been a lot that have really stuck in the imagination of the whole world until Goku.”
And while that’s all well and good, we had to ask Marsters what would happen if the gloves came off and the "Dragonball" heroes and villains had to prove themselves against a few other familiar characters.
“All you need to do is play with the action figures,” insisted Marsters, “You put Goku up against Wolverine? I’m sorry, Hugh. Goku just burns him to a crisp… [Fans] think Superman is cool? This guy fires energy bolts out of his hands.”
To be fair, Superman can fire energy from his eyes so that’s the one match I’m not completely sold on but, just to be sure Marsters isn’t playing favorites, we threw out the question of Lord Piccolo versus Spike himself.
“I’m sorry, man,” says Marsters with a brief hint of remorse, “Nothing against Spike, but Piccolo would dust him. Piccolo can open up the Earth with energy from his hands. Spike would crack a really good joke and would be gone.”
Do you agree with Marsters’ picks for the winners? Is there anyone who CAN defeat Goku and Piccolo? Share your thoughts below!
