Hannibal wins. He doesn't have to worry about a family, doesn't have to follow a code, he's more ruthless, he's much more experienced, it isn't really fair.

family can be a source of strength as much as it can be a weakness

Hannibal fits Dexter's code so that's not exactly a problem...

Hannibal may be more ruthless, but Dexter's rules have forced him to find tougher (less ruthless) solutions to his problems so I could argue that makes him more impressive

Hannibal may indeed have more experience, but its not exactly as focused as Dexter's.

Then there's the obvious youth advantage...

I don't see how its all that unfair in either direction.

Hannibal escaped from federal custody using only a pen
I think he can take down Dexter

Despite being older, Hannibal is much smarter than Dexter. Most of the people he killed should have been able to overpower him physically, but he outsmarted them. No contest.

Hannibal bumped into a guy on the street, severed one of his arteries, and walked away before the guy even realized he was cut.

Hannibal.

Do you even know anything about Dexter? Dexter was working for the same police unit while they were trying to hunt him down. He isn't exactly an idiot. On the other hand Hannibal has actually been caught and imprisoned...although he does make up for this by escaping in brilliant fashion, but still.

I really think its foolish to claim this is one-sided or no contest in either direction.

Dexter always seems to be able to get himself out of a jam, but I still think Hannibal

Hannibal is the Chuck Norris of serial killers. He looks at you and all you can say is "salt, pepper , or both?" :)

Dexter was top of his med school class but decided to focus on being a serial killer while working as a blood spatter specialist for the homicide unit. Does being a doctor really give Hannibal any sort of edge in a fight between the two? Dexter has far more kills to his record...


this statement renders any argument you have on your own thread, retarded.

Your statement reveals your complete inability to see any hidden context and renders your own statement retarded.

While the act of skinning a guy and wearing his face as a part of an escape is incredibly awesome, the fact that Hannibal was caught in the first place (and thus had to come up with an escape) could be considered as a knock against him.

Try harder next time to defuse any opposition to your homer pick.

I've never seen the show Dexter so don't know what that guy can do but Hannibal is the man.

But I've already missed so much. I don't want to catch one episode and get stuff spoiled. I'll have to borrow the DVD's from someone once the series is over.

It's up to season 4, and Netflix has seasons 1, 2, and 3.

Dexter for sure. He hasn't been caught, yet. (as of the end of season 2, anyway... no spoilers!)

Tried watching Dex but just couldn't get through the CHeeZe. Maybe it was just the first season as I stopped before I watched a whole one.

I would have to say Dexter in a straight up 1 on 1 battle.

Hannibal only has 1 working arm, though i guess he could add a weapon attachment heh.

I've been watching the 2nd season of Dexter and its not NEARLY as awesome as the first. They've been doing a lot of Threes Company style jokes and its totally lame compared to the humor of the first season. Also, no real suspense so far. The english tart is pretty cool and I bet she has some dark, scary shit going on. But other than her none of the supporting cast is too interesting, and Dexter himself is lacking in many ways.
