Season 1: Episode 1
The Pregame
Hello! And welcome to the premier pilot episode of "Deadliest Fictional Warrior!" Today in the ring, we've go the two of the greatest forces of good, fighting head to head.
He can run faster than a speeding bullet, leap tall buildings in a single bound! It's a bird! It's a plane! No! The Man of Steel!
Superman!
Now in the other corner. His essence is shrouded in myth and mystery. It's said, he alone carries the genetic make up of all Pokemon. Able to emulate any ability! The one and only…
Mew.
But before we make our assumptions on who the more able fighter is; let's take a quick peek at the hard stats.
Starting with what we know, let's break down Mew.
The Emerald Pokedex states: "A MEW is said to possess the genes of all POKEMON. It is capable of making itself invisible at will, so it entirely avoids notice even if it approaches people." Also, the Fire Red Pokedex claims the Mew with a high intellect.
MEW can learn ANY attack. It has a Psychic element which causes it to have a weakness toward Bugs, Ghost, and Dark Attacks. It battles well against Fighting and Poison; but again as stated, is worthless against a ghost.
What MEW lacks in physical ability, it makes up in everything else. But like any other POKEMON, he can tire and get hurt. If he gets knocked around too much, we'll probably see him lose horrible to the might of Superman.
Despite this physical inadequacy, MEW has to great tricks up his sleeve. His Psychic prowess and his innate ability, Synchronize. This means, with Synchronize; if an opponent were to Poison, Burn, or Pralyze MEW; the effects will be absorbed but dublicated back to the opponent.
Another important note to add is that MEW can also Teleport to any location at will.
But overall, MEW isn't a fighter at heart-and seems to be quite ignorant until trouble is right in his face.

But now let's take quick glance at the Las Son of Krypton…
Superman.
The name says it all. His strength is unsurpassed. Known for stopping freight trains and jet planes, he's been known to catch skyscrapers, lift mountains, and avert meteors.
Heat Vision? Lasers from his eyes? Of course! He's been known to shoot things up to a few miles away with precision. Telescopic sight, Super Smell, Super Hearing, X-ray vision that can see through almost anything. Superman's senses are eons beyond the peak of any ability.
The general nerd consensus agrees that: he's been known to reach near the speed of light, and beyond (with strain). He can fly… Have I said he's practically indestructible? Well learned in almost all sciences and philosophy, Superman's brain excels over the average person any day.
The seem to tables have turned MEW, but let's have a closer look.
Superman, with all his might and brainpower, is confident. He knows he's Super and has a bad rap for getting short sighted in a situation. Underestimating any for, big or small, has gotten the best of the Man of Steel, almost killing him enough times to say, Superman can be beaten quite easily.
His famous weakness is Kryptonite, there's more weaknesses on Superman's head that he doesn't like to disclose.
Magic.
As quoted by Shazaam/Captain Marvel, "You've never been good with magic, Superman." With the right touch of Presto, Clark's pasta has always fallen flat.
Superman is a natural force to be reckoned with. But beyond the natural; Superman cripples under ghosts, magicians, and psychics. Just Google Mr. Mxyzptlk and you'll know what I mean.
Another weakness Superman carries, but not as well known, is his photosensitivity.
Superman regenerates and gains his powers through the yellow radiation of our Sun. If Superman leaves our Solar System or stays in the dark for far too long, his abilities can theoretically diminish to nil.
Yet another weakness Superman has shown over the years is his lack of resistance to electricity, as seen with his famous nemesis, Livewire. With enough voltage, Superman may become temporarily paralyzed at any given moment.
And finally; the last and often forgotten weakness of Superman is that, even though he may seem to be indestructible, he does have a threshold. This was seen most famously in Doomsday, where Superman almost died from physical attack.
In essence, Superman can survive a nuclear blast at ground zero. But if he were to fall into the heart explosion of a super nova, he'd probably be dead in a few minutes.
But Superman has one big thing that MEW just doesn't.
Battle Experience. Superman's a fighter. He never gives up.
