John Wick versus Alvin York
Can Baba Yaga defeat a man on a mission from God?
John Wick is, of course, John Wick.
Alvin York is, with all due respect to Audie Murphy, arguably the United States of America's greatest war hero. On October 9th, 1918, York took part in an assault in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. York personally killed more than 20 Germans, taking out 35 German machine guns positions. Somehow, York managed to emerge from the battle not only unscathed, but with 132 German prisoners (to 7 surviving Americans), including the German battalion commander, who had personally attempted to shoot York at close range and was, like every other German, unable to hit him. York was an excellent shot, having honed his skills hunting for food as a young man.
Alvin York was also noted as a strong hand to hand combatant from his days growing up, and has a slight (25-40 pounds) weight advantage on Wick.
