Battle of the Pop Heroes!

Chris Brown vs. Christina Aguilera

Chris Brown vs. Christina Aguilera

Last week, pop stars turned into superheroes. On the one side we had Christina Aguilera as Supergirl (her alter ego is the less-than-mild-mannered Superbitch). On the other, Chris Brown as Superhuman. It’s time to look at how these heroes would stack up if, in the grand tradition of comic books, they were to fight! It may seem like no contest, but let’s see how they stack up.

Super-Girl: First off, she’s got a motorcycle and she’s got a raygun. Said motorcycle also seems to have anti-gravity abilities. As does her hair. Also, her alter-ego has cool Minority-Report-esque computing power. And she’s a master of disguise. Her disadvantage? Catwoman may sue her for trademark infringement with the outfit.

Superhuman: He’s got a sweet motorcycle with a sidecar and control the winds (or at least light breezes). Still, his best power may be his speed and quick-thinking. However, while he looks like he’s close to hulking out, he never seems to achieve super-human strength. His lack of costume will make it easy for him to camouflage himself. He’s also got a sidekick who owes him her life.

The fight: Superhuman has the speed and agility. Plus there’s his spandex-clad sidekick. Still, Super-Girl is pretty badass. And the raygun is going to be hard to beat. But, as any comic reader knows, it all comes down to the individual’s substance.
