Ahh..... reminds me of those old Western TV movies and shows back in the day. The lone sheriff vs the mad bomber of the West. Usually, we all know that gun beats dynamite any day, every day. But then again, they didn't have Semblance and Aura to rely on, or super human agility and speed. But after look through both of these fun character, I'ma have to give this one to Julian. Sorry Seb :(

The way I see this from the very start, is to see who has a semblance and what can it do? Well, unfortunately, Tanner doesn't have one (not discovered it yet) while Julian has his, and it's a rather annoying one at that. Iron defense can basically mean he can turtle up and wait for nine rounds to go off. One that happens, well, Happy Fourth of July (whatever the equivalent is in Canada). Plus with Julian's damn vest, body shots aren't gonna do much either. Now to also add, both have training. They both know the standards of combat and what to do when fighting an enemy. Now the difference is though, is the style. Tanner received training at Signal and probably hunting experience due to him living in the outskirts. Julian, he's a former terrorist. Unconventional tactics are what people like him thrive on and in combat it will throw people off guard a good portion of the time.

Another thing to also point out is that Julian is probably faster than Tanner as well. Remember, then more sticks he tosses out, the lighter and faster he becomes. While Tanner has a greatsword, Julian can simply parry it with his semblance using one had and attaching one explosive with another. Both have armor, I know that for a fact, but there is only so much chainmail can do when you have to deal with tons of dynamite flying at you like some kind of confetti party. Even Tanner's knight alter ego won't be able to do much. It'll confuse Julian for a bit, but he'll just toss out more sticks. Running and tossing like no tomorrow. This for sure will wear down Tanner and exhaust him.

Overall, there isn't really much to say honestly. Their weapons are simple and to the point, and I like that. There's just nothing more for me to review upon. Dammit, I think my Reviewing Juices are getting low (along with my 'combat sim' juices) but I digress.

Final verdict: Julian. I like them both, and they really are interesting character. A cowboy with a knight persona and a mad bomber whose weapon is only dynamite? How can I not love these guys? Maybe after their "train encounter" they may team up one day and fight together? Oh... if only. But, back to reality! May the best/faved OC win. That's all for now folks. Nappa, out. o7
