Instead of Dune, look to Highlander for Duncan Macleod. He'll absorb all the powers of whoever he kills, and apparently as in the 4th movie, the soul as well. If he wins the Battle Royale, everyone might still live. Maybe David picked the wrong Duncan. Instead of Dune, look to Highlander for Duncan Macleod.

Well, being brought back. But in any case it means that whoever kicks his ass in the deathmatch will just have to get back to it again, and again, and again. The old geezers would die off, and the rest would just get so bored they may prefer to lose the rematch and be done with it. Duncan does have one major redeeming quality, he keeps coming back.

No matter, give him extra melange and one of those gom jabbar pinky rings, and he'll qualify.

There really wasn't a Wise Older Mentor in <em>Dune</em>, unless I'm forgetting someone.

What are you thinking? In Dune, he was in 2 seconds done in by a toy! Given that Duncan can hold his own against all the mighty ones, he won't last long with a hunter-seeker (that cheap little flying widget) just as none of the above would. Beware the flying toys, he who controls them wins all. A battle royale with Gandalf, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Albus Dumbledore, Morpheus…and Duncan Idaho? What are you thinking?

But Josh's explanation is much more entertaining, while still being quite true.

Thanks, David! Fun contests that brought in some creative entries. I can't wait to read Multireal, and re-read Infoquake, which of course will be an entirely different experience because, you know, different cover art makes it a brand new story, right?
