Assuming no mind tricks from the Talosian, which would win in a wrestling match?
Would a phaser set at its maximum level or the Varon-T disruptor kill Apollo?
I read on a website that Popeye before spinach can lift about 4,000 pounds, and after spinach he can lift approximately 36 tons.
This means that he's slightly more powerful than Data before spinach.
Question: Who can lift more weight?
A) Popeye after spinach
B) He-Man
Who would win in a wrestling match?
A) Popeye after spinach
B) He-Man
Answer Hi John -
On average a Talosian is slightly taller, mostly because of their enlarged cranium and the fact that it bulges upwards instead of out to the side like a Ferengi.
In a wrestling match however the Ferengi would win. Talosian bodies are extremely gaunt and, since the majority of their time is spent developing their minds, their muscles are somewhat atrophied, giving the Ferengi a definite physical advantage.
I think that if Apollo was operating at full strength he could possibly fight off the effects of a phaser, but if he was tired or had some of his energy reserves drained then it’s possible that either weapon could kill him.
Wow, I confess I don't know much about Popeye I'll have to defer to your expertise! He sounds immensely strong, much more so than Data!
I gotta plead ignorance as far as He-Man goes! My younger cousins were really into He-Man and the Masters of Universe but I know virtually nothing about them!
