Welcome to Who Would Win Masters — where returning Superchamp Ray Stakenas faces off against handpicked challengers from the Who Would Win universe and beyond!

Who’s the better action hero? Who punches harder, lucks harder, or quips harder? Host Sam Proof is the judge, and the fan vote always matters. Cast your pick in the comments and tell us why! Power Breakdown Jack Burton Jack Burton isn’t your typical action hero—he’s the guy who talks a big game, bumbles his way into danger, and somehow still walks out on top. A walking contradiction: he’s the sidekick who thinks he’s the star. His strength lies in sheer luck, blind courage, and unrelenting confidence. Whether he’s fighting ghost warriors, sorcerers, or trying to retrieve his truck, Jack never gives up—mostly because he doesn’t realize how far over his head he really is. John Spartan John Spartan is the ultimate blunt-force solution. A relic of 90s action cinema and frozen cop fantasy, he punches first, reads Miranda rights never, and adapts to future society like a sledgehammer to a touchscreen. He’s lethal, tactical, and unstoppable—even when dealing with nonsensical moral laws and three seashells. In a world of red tape, he’s the scissors. ORIGINS Jack Burton – Big Trouble in Little China (1986) Created by screenwriters Gary Goldman and David Z. Weinstein and brought to life by director John Carpenter, Jack Burton is played by Kurt Russell as a send-up of the American action hero. Jack stumbles through supernatural Chinatown with more ego than skill, flipping tropes along the way. The film was a commercial flop but a cult favorite, influencing everything from video games like Mortal Kombat to the tone of Guardians of the Galaxy. Jack has since lived on in comics published by BOOM! Studios, where he’s faced even more bizarre adventures. John Spartan – Demolition Man (1993) A character tailor-made for Sylvester Stallone, John Spartan is a brutal cop from a violent era, frozen as punishment and revived into a pacified, dystopian future. The film was directed by Marco Brambilla, with a screenplay by Peter M. Lenkov and Daniel Waters. Demolition Man mixed explosive action with sharp satire, predicting everything from franchise-dominated culture to virtual Zoom sex. Spartan became a hyper-violent fish-out-of-water, balancing brute force with bewildered charm. He’s since become a meme-worthy icon of 90s action excess. 🎤 Think YOU can beat the Superchamp?
