He does have an alpha dragon (a night fury at that too!!) and his inferno sword and so many other talents. Merida only has her sword and bow and Rapunzel...a frying pan. Jack has ice powers but they only affect his sorroundigs. I dont think they can affect a person...at least I think so.

So fave character- Rapunzel

Fight character-Hiccup Hands down, How to Train Your Dragon is my favorite movie, as well as Hiccup for my favorite character.

Now for the fighting, sorry Toothless, but Hiccup has to fight alone for it to be fair.

Hiccup against Jack could depend on whether Jack's powers work against humans. If they do, Hiccup would ultimately lose because he cannot survive an ice blast without his beloved dragon. And I don't think Jack can truly die if children believe in him (Sandman). If they don't, then I don't think anyone would win.

As for Merida, Hiccup can only win if he is close enough to get a blow with his sword. Otherwise, he'll have to deal with a lot of amazingly, accurately aimed arrows to get close to her -- though I think he can handle it because he's dealt with Deadly Nadders before. He may be more agile than she is, being able to survive dragon attacks and dragon training (if that's not talent, then he could still probably win because of his luck). As for his prosthesis, it's metal, so I don't think Merida would be able to chop it off like she did her dad's wooden leg. Once he gets close enough for a sword fight, he has the advantage of a better weapon. Merida can wound him, but he might be able to stop the blood flow by searing the wound closed with his fire sword (though I could have read false information about that) and he can use his Zippleback gas against her. In this case, Hiccup would win because of his better weapon, not necessarily skill.

Rapunzel may seem harmless, but that can be deceiving. She is known to be able to lift a woman probably heavier than she is (my logic may be iffy. taller with similar build = more body mass) everyday without fail, and swing an average man with her own hair. Plus, her weapon -- the frying pan -- is basically made for heat, like Hiccup's fire sword. And the pan part is a built-in shield from Hiccup's sword. As for their skill assessment, I have never seen Hiccup OR Rapunzel use their weapons for direct sword-to-sword combat in their movies, so hard to assume Hiccup would win with skill. She is also shown to be very agile, cartwheeling down a hill, overcoming obstacles on foot, swinging from place to place with her hair. She can adapt very well to new situations and she has quick-thinking skills, which can match Hiccup's. In a battle, I think Rapunzel would likely win against Hiccup.

Those are my views about Hiccup in a fight with all the characters. Very effective analysis! :D Comparing the characters side by side surely does make the choices a little easier since we are choosing the characters depending on their skills and strengths. Pretty awesome :)

So when it comes to Rapunzel VS Hiccup...that would be interesting, they both have strong physical and intellectual capacities compared to Merida and Jack (according to your analysis) (& also depending if Jack's powers do affect humans)

No wonder I love them both X3
