Icon-o-clash 3: The "Real-World" Edition

Powerhouse Battle!
Fred Flintstone: Fred is a true icon in every sense, appealing to a wide demographic for a long period of time. Starting your car with your feet? Using an elephant's nose to shower? Having a 100 yard long living room? All very cool.
Little Mermaid: Ariel's pop culture status is undeniable. She kicked off the animation renaissance, saved Disney from certain doom, and is still the brand of choice for any girl under 4 ft tall.
Criteria: This will be a tough call for anyone, and under last season's rules this match would not have come up until much later. Good luck folks!

Sailors vs. Dinosaurs!
Popeye: The feisty and crusty seaman who protects the little guy while eating leafy greens. Very cool. Also cool because he allowed me to type the phrase "crusty seaman".
Barney: The gentle giant who preaches helping, sharing, and cleaning up your toys. Before I had kids, Barney was a joke. Now, Barney is very, very, cool.
Criteria: Barney brings Popeye into the playground to teach the kids about good nutrition. Popeye wants to teach that little blond kid how to throw a good haymaker, and starts carving pipes for them. Discuss.

Space Cowboy vs. Gangsta of Love!
Mal Reynolds: The star of the ill-fated but eventually-vindicated Firefly TV series. For the disciples of Whedon (of which I admit, I am one) our browncoated hero is as cool as they come.
Strong Bad: The unofficial star of the Homestar Runner website. A veritable cornucopia of cool catch phrases and in-jokes mostly involving his craptacular responses to emails.
Criteria: Strong Bad accidentally spills fluffy-puff marshmallow spread onto his precious Compy, resulting in him being teleported onto the deck of the Serenity. Mal thinks he is an Alliance spy, or worse a Reaver. Jane wants to use him for target practice. River looks him up and down and says, "He is all pixelly". Discuss.

Browns of Hash vs Whiplash
Mr. Potato Head: Versatile spud with style. Recently given much more depth thanks to the Toy Story films.
Indiana Jones: He is to archaeologists what CSI is to forensics workers. However, no one can deny the cool factor, highlighted by the shooting of the fancy-schmancy sword guy in Raiders.
Criteria: One has a famous hat. The other has many interchangeable hats, which can also double as arms, eyes, etc. if you are creative enough.
