The mostly HEROES GoogleFight thread!

Have you ever used "GoogleFight!" to compare the number of "hits" a word or phrase has from Google searches? It's kinda fun! All you have to do is enter the words or phrases (if you want a specific phrase to be found, then "tie" the words together with dashes in-between them or put the phrase in quotes) that you want to compare and click "Make a fight". 8)

Below are some fights that I thought were note-worthy. Try to guess which one from each match-up wins before clicking on the results!

For a close battle with just the first names of the characters (not the 1st place match):
Nathan vs. Claire
The fight where the full names of the characters are found together:
Micah-Sanders vs. Isaac-Mendez
Actually, putting the names in quotes makes a little difference:
"Micah Sanders" vs. "Isaac Mendez"
For 2nd Place where the first and last names are not necessarily found in sequence (1st place is a blow-out):
Claire Bennet vs. Niki Sanders
For the winner using the first names of the cast:
Greg vs. Ali
For the full names (found together) of the cast:
Greg-Grunberg vs. Ali-Larter or
"Greg Grunberg" vs. "Ali Larter"
A match between two executive producers:
Abrams vs Kring (and another match-up between two creative wonders just out of curiosity:
JJ-Abrams vs. Joss-Whedon or "JJ Abrams" vs. "Joss Whedon")

What good or close (HEROES-related) fights can you find? There was one fight that was (iirc) 156,000 to 158,000, which I thought was a GREAT match-up, but I don't remember who was matched against each other! Can you help me figure out what names I used? I think it was a fight between the character names. Thanks!

Haha! Interesting site. Some of that is unfair since, well, I'm responsible for about 3 million of those Joss Whedon hits. Well, 3 million and 1 now... Yet again the Yankees narrowly edged out the Red Sox! Oh, and Greg Grunberg needs to get another agent.

Yeah, I didn't share the first place fight, but to give you an idea who might be the champ, here's Claire vs. Peter.

Question: so the number of fights won, is that like real, or are those inflated?

It's supposed to be just the number of "hits" each keyword has when searching with google, so if the word is pretty common, it'll have a bunch of hits, and they do not necessarily have to do with the whatever context you're placing them in when "fighting".

The Mendez vs. Nakamura fight used to be close, but that's changed! And it didn't help Isaac when the iTunes pilot shows that he now doesn't lose a body part, either!

The 9th Wonders vs. Krypton Site fight is the closest I've seen in a while (and it had been a tie... ):
