When you lose the epic starship battles, the futuristic technology, the myriad different races and strip sci-fi stories down to the bare exoskeleton, they usually just come down to a simple battle between good and evil. Here are just a few of our favourite one-on-ones...
Warned that the very next thing they think of will be the form the Sumerian God Gozer shall assume to destroy the Earth, Ray Stantz tries to think of the most harmless creature imaginable, which just happens to be the jovial-looking Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
