  1. Well you have different Highlander mythologies to follow such as:

     

    Highlander > Highlander III

     

    Highlander > Highlander II: The Quickening

     

    Highlander > Highlander II: The Quickening (Renegade version)

     

    Highlander > Highlander the Series > Highlander: Endgame > Highlander: The Source

     

    Highlander: The Search for Vengeance.

    Make that two continuities I follow. Highlander > Part 3 and Highlander: The Search for Vengeance. Though I have an interest in the tv show though but not what comes after. (P.S. Spoony is reviewing The Source. :) You're going to love it.)

  2. In the movie continuity, it's just the first and third film-- the Gathering ended as of 1985. Connor MacLeod became the last living Immortal, Duncan didn't exist, neither did Richie Ryan, Methos, Amanda, or the other Immortals from the series. The game was re-started in 1995 when Kane and the Mongolian Immortals broke out from Mount Niri's cave and the Gathering was started up again. Connor kills Kane and wins the Prize.

    That I buy to be honest. I don't mind the third film as much as the other sequels, it's way better than The Source, Part 2 and Endgame and that's saying a lot.

  3. She's much, much faster than him easily and not to mention, she has basic academy jutsus that will allow her to evade attacks and get around him rather quickly easily and she is adept at them considering her chakra control and her training in the use of them.

     

    True about the following. She's fast but The Kurgan can resist damage all he can.

     

    And concerning Highlander: Endgame, well, not sure about that to be honest.

  4. How I see it that, while Broadway is at full strength but since he survived the entire Xenomorph race in the film, Scar might as well win this one until a Gargoyle in strength and skill equally. Technically, he has more technology that's dangerous.

     

    Interesting enough concerning your previous, I actually did read a Gargoyles/Predator crossover. Goliath fought a Predator in that story. Excellent read by the way. Great set up by the way.

  5. Gentle Fist would work if the Kurgan was a mortal who had normal chi...

     

    The Quickening is not even chi/chakra, it's magic. Magic in it's purest and unrefined form from what I know of the Highlander mythos. While the usage of Quickening in combat works like chi, it doesn't mean that it necessarily flows in the same way as chakra or chi. As a martial artist, I understand the principals and usage of chi/chakra, and in some cases of the Highlander mythos-- the Quickening can do some VERY spooky things.

     

    Also, the older the Immortal is, the more powerful the Immortal in question is.

     

    In the events of Highlander, the Kurgan was over 3,000 years old in the Mini-Gathering of 1985-- and if we account that he has beheaded Juan Ramirez somewhere between 1536 to 1540, and Juan Ramirez was over 2,000 years old during that time... well.. the Kurgan was an unbelievably powerful Immortal in terms of Quickening.

     

    From what I have seen, he healed faster and was stronger than most other Immortals in Highlander.

    He's right you know. According to the novelization, The Kurgan has been an immortal since around 900 B.C., he's the oldest and most powerful.
