Showdown: Van Cleef vs. Arthas

I can't believe this thread went on as long as it did in a relatively unironic tone. Seriously, they made it to page three before anybody even mentioned laughing at the idea-- at least three pages of people seriously considered what would happen in a fight between Van Cleef and Arthas.For the record, Van Cleef would do the exact same thing he does to everyone he fights-- call his opponent a lapdog, summon adds around 50%, and then die horribly. I'm calling Arthas on this one for sure. Better question: Ony vs. Hakkar (with aspects or without?). Or Vael vs. Nef (as a legendary forum thread, now lost to history in the old forums, once postulated). Or C'thun vs. Kel Thuzad! I'm going to have to go with C'thun for sure-- KT is a lich, but C'thun is an Old God, man!
So, so nerdy. And yet, if you're into the lore at all, so very intriguing. Especially with the Caverns of Time upcoming, expect to see lots more of this stuff. When you're able to get up close and personal with some of the biggest figures in the Warcraft universe, you can't help but imagine what these showdowns would be like.

Arthas is currently seated on the Frozen Throne in Northrend, a continent of Azeroth not currently accessible to players.

Blizz themselves have said that Arthas/Lich King is the most powerful being in Azeroth so I'm guessing he could take Van Cleff :P
Blizzard have said that a full raid of lvl 70's still wouldn't be powerful enough to take him on - yet another reason to look forward to going to Northrend in a future expansion, 25 lvl 80 or 90's ftw! (all in tier 9 ofc)

To bad someone cant bomb a major city with a horde of mulocs thatd kick ass, even the 60s would die. Because they all agro at once and they have a 5 minute respawn time. NEFR MULOCS!
