Which one would win a straight-up, knock-down fistfight between the two toughest soldiers in the comic-books?

coryfromMissoula03 Oct 2009 10:41 a.m. PST

Rock hands down, he was meaner.

scoutsout03 Oct 2009 10:41 a.m. PST

I would have to say Sgt. Rock! Fury depends too much on his gadgets!

Rock beats Fury. And paper and scissors and just about anyone/anything else he decides to beat. Except maybe Chuck Norris. They'd just lock eyes, salute the Stars and Stripes, and join forces to crush the massed forces of evil in the universe.

As a DC fan from the 1960s. I would also say Sgt Rock. More realistic stories than Sgt Fury.

HobbyGuy03 Oct 2009 11:23 a.m. PST

Sgt Rock was a Boxer before the war, so Rock wins!

Captain Apathy03 Oct 2009 11:26 a.m. PST

Fury might win if he cheated, but my money would be on Rock.

Kapow! Pow! Ratatat!

My money would be on Rock if we're talking about them meeting as soldiers in WWII. The original Sgt. Fury was a regular soldier. All those "gadgets" didn't come in until Fury became a spy in the 1960s. If the two men met after that, my money would have to go to Fury. He was a trained agent and I think he could have beaten Rock at that point of their careers (also, keep in mind that Fury was being kept young by artificial means, whereas Rock was aging naturally. So, by then, Rock was a middle-aged man while Fury was still in his physical prime.

As for the comics, by the way, I definitely prefer Sgt. Rock. Those old stories were great, and the Kubert artwork was top-notch.

Rock hand down would crush Fury.

Speaking of Rock check out this mini from What The?! Miniatures.

Fury! 'Nuff said!

Tom Reed03 Oct 2009 1:15 p.m. PST

Rock beats Fury.

Spartan03 Oct 2009 3:24 p.m. PST

Rock in his prime would beat Fury any day. Plus, Rock is just plain cooler than Fury, "in my opinion of course."

I think Russ Heath and John Severin did the best art for Sgt. Rock.

Jeigheff03 Oct 2009 3:38 p.m. PST

I agree with mmitchell'reasoning, but I would root for Rock no matter what!

By the way, Russ Heath was my favorite artist to draw Sgt. Rock.

If we can move up to officers, Captain Hercules Hurricane could take both on at once

Rock and Easy Co. would eat Fury and his "Howlers" for breakfast and send 'em screaming home to mama like a bunch of whipped girls…

I'm going to buck the trend and go with Fury. He was more than just a regular soldier and had some serious additional training. While Rock might have had some training in fighting and been a fine soldier I think that Fury would have the edge in a fight.

galvinm04 Oct 2009 7:21 a.m. PST

Rock. Hands down.

SgtPain04 Oct 2009 10:32 a.m. PST

Sgt Rock, in the 12th round by a knock out.

mad monkey 104 Oct 2009 12:49 p.m. PST

Sgt.Rock. He's the Clint Eastwood of comic book characters.

Red358405 Oct 2009 4:13 a.m. PST

In an attempt to open this up to British TMP'rs [although admittedly we did get Sgts Rock and Fury when I was young]… can we include Captain Hurricane.

Personally I think he'd wipe the floor with these US upstarts!

Red358405 Oct 2009 4:20 a.m. PST

My god…it's come to this… I'm debating the relative merits of old comic book characters in a fight…

…kill me now… grin

richarDISNEY05 Oct 2009 8:17 a.m. PST

Its all about Fury!

As a kid Fury bored me to tears.

Put me down for Sgt Rock (played by Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson!
