Who would win in a no-rules deathmatch on top of a skyscraper that is slowly being vaporized by an alien death ray, all the while 132 mutated bloodthirsty rats slowly but surely vomit acid from a chopper, piloted by Megaman, hovering only and exacly ten feet of both participants heads. Also its raining and lightning will begin to magically strike both of them after exactly 13 minutes and 9 seconds of the fight.

Who would win under these conditions...

Mao Zedung?
or
Fidel Castro?

It is assummed both men have been transported from the past (yes Castro too) so that both men are exactly 21 years old.

And no firearms are not allowed.

Hats are optional.

Mao would. He would use his chinese powers and karate.

Castro would use exploding cigar missile of death and save the day.

Do not be so hasty people for the question is not as straightforward as it seems.

Definitely Fidel. I mean look at the dude, he's immortal. :( The dude is going to live to 140 watch, that SOB will never die.

Everyone knows the alien death ray would win.

Finally somebody is thinking out of the box... but no... The death ray is a tool and it would be like saying the gun wins in a war...

True but not the answer we're looking for.

The rats will win.

The rats will win.
If you call vomitting winning...

Mao would. He would use his chinese powers and karate.
karate is Japanese.

karate is Japanese.

Close enough.

Fidel.

Fidel of course. The power is in the beard. And Mao newer haid an beard so he have to lose.

Mao, no question. I mean we're talking about a peasant who was an actively fighting in a revolution at age 21, versus a choirboy (literally) who was in college studying to be a lawyer when he was 21. What a silly question.

Meanwhile I'm on another skyscraper, with a high quality film recording device I magically aquired on my ascent, taping what I can from afar of the fight. I take the film, edit it (if necessary) to show how silly these commie stooges look, edit if (if necessary) to make it stylish and hip. I add heavy music and call it a stunning documentary on the foibles of the (pre?) modern gepolitical landscape and of socialism in general, as well as a kick-ass martial arts special FX thingy. I add some philosophical BS too, somewhere, in overdubbed commentary. I sell film, make millions, and retire.

I win.

Actually... we win. No matter which one dies first, the other dies too.

Now here you are taking a gamble... The Death Ray is not taht predictable... so who knows which skyscraper is next.

Also close but that Death Ray ravaged several of our cities...

I can't believe no one guessed this yet. The winner is obviously Megaman.

Yeah, I've included this in my risk-return ratio forecast analysis. The chances are pretty small, I think. Castro's and Mao's heads are even bigger than mine, so they have a larger probability of being in the way of the death ray.

I can't believe no one guessed this yet. The winner is obviously Megaman.
Finally a winner...

Megaman has a chopper. All he needs to do is knock the rats out with a blast of his laser arm thing and fly away to safety.
