Summary
With Star Wars and X-Men dominating fandom once again, Who Would Win: Unleashed delivers the duel you’ll never see on screen but won’t stop thinking about. Repping Darth Maul is Eric Holmes, who turns the double-bladed assassin into a tactical nightmare. He’s not just a Force-wielding blur of red and black—he’s a walking death sentence. From precognitive counters to weaponized terrain manipulation, Eric makes the case that Maul’s not here to duel—he’s here to dismantle. This isn’t just lightsaber flair. This is battlefield brutality with Sith precision.
On the other side, James Gavsie brings in Colossus like a sledgehammer made of Soviet steel. We’re talking near-invulnerable metal skin, superhuman strength, and combat instincts honed in both the Danger Room and real war zones. But James doesn’t stop at raw power—he breaks down how Colossus turns endurance into dominance, absorbing Maul’s speed and flipping it into punishing momentum. It’s dark side rage versus stoic might. Tactical finesse versus tank-mode brawler. And when the sparks fly? You know the only way to find out who wins… is to press play.
And when you have such an epic battle you need an equally epic judge to weigh both sides of the battle and decide Who Would Win! Making their first appearance as judge is Andrew Birch, one of the most intriguing producers and project managers you've ever come across!
Strap in—this is Who Would Win: UNLEASHED at its finest.

| 0:00.0 | And welcome to another episode of Who Would Win Unleashed, a show that completely ignores anything important |
| 0:17.2 | happening in the world and instead focuses on a fictional battle between characters from the |
| 0:20.7 | worlds of comics, sci-fi, and fantasy. I'm your host James Gavs. And as always, I'm joined |
| 0:25.0 | by the one, the only Eric Holmes. Woo! Let's go. Let's go. Sounds enthusiastic. I'm sorry you're |
| 0:33.4 | going to lose so badly. Getty up. Here we go. In today's episode, a towering mutant warrior whose entire body transforms into |
| 0:40.2 | unbreakable metal battles a deadly warrior trained in ancient combat arts and dark |
| 0:44.8 | mystical powers armed with a blade that cuts through pretty much anything or does it. |
| 0:49.5 | In one corner, you have Colosses, a heroic mutant from Russia whose body becomes |
| 0:53.0 | organic steel, making him the X-Men's main powerhouse. And in the other corner, you have Darth Mall, a deadly Sith-trained warrior and assassin who wields the dark side of the force and a double-bladed lightsaber with unmatched skill. As usual, I did the patent and who'd win Google test. Just as you many times this matchup has been discussed. And surprisingly, this battle has been |
| 1:11.0 | discussed just a few times, like probably less than 10 times, which means it's perfect timing |
| 1:15.9 | for it to get the who would win treatment today. Eric, I have to know, what are your thoughts in |
| 1:19.9 | today's matchup? Yeah, I think this is just another example of these are the tight battles |
| 1:23.6 | that you will only find here on the who would win podcast. So it's going to be epic, |
| 1:28.5 | ridiculous, and very fun. Listen, I know we're definitely going to be very violent. Sorry, |
| 1:33.5 | kids at home. We talk about very often how, you know, the, you know, type of nerd cultures and |
| 1:40.3 | fendums were part of. I know you're a big Star Wars guy. Are you that familiar with the X-Men, |
| 1:44.8 | the X-Men's history, and the characters, |
| 1:46.7 | at least to the same degree as you are with Star Wars? |
| 1:49.1 | More so X-Men, but I'm more of a Trekkie also, |
| 1:52.1 | but I've been around some Star Wars. |
| 1:53.7 | I'm sorry you're more of a Trekkie. |
| 1:55.3 | No, I'm just sorry, you're more of a Trekkie. |
