Ra's al Ghul vs Fu Manchu, twist

[Shellhead]

Ra's al Ghul (comic book version) vs Fu Manchu, with a twist. Both men and their own organizations are retroactively relocated to a neutral version of Earth. They will not meet in direct combat, and can only strike at one another through minions. Who will survive?

EDIT: 616 version of Fu Manchu.

I only read one Fu Manchu book and that was decades ago. So, I can only go with my instincts here as I have no specific feats to go by, just a general feeling which others can correct with actual feats. But my instincts are that Fu Manchu's opponents were, well, relatively normal humans. Now, maybe that's wrong, maybe they were pulp heroes, which is a whole different thing. But it's just my impression from something I read a long, long time ago. Meanwhile, Ra's al Ghul takes on Batman.

My bad, I wasn't specific in the original post... this is Fu Manchu in the 616 zip code.

What heroes did he get pitted against?

As an archetypal evil mastermind, Fu Manchu didn't sully his hands on personal combat, but he did command a global network of assassins. They usually battled Shang-Chi, but also Spider-man, Black Panther, Luke Cage, Moon Knight, and the Secret Avengers.

Since this is an organization vs. organization thing, basically, who is the better master planner, we'd probably need some very distinguishing difference. I get the feeling that Ra's al Ghul is probably based a lot on Fu Manchu, as is the Mandarin. But this scenario puts them in a world where Ra's does not have the Lazarus Pit, etc. No home field advantage, just whop is the better planner. I don't see anything that distinguishes one over the other except, maybe, that Ra's relies a bit more on superhuman abilities. But, then again, I'm sure there are more than a few lapses of reality to allow Fu Manchu to pull off certain things.

Edit: Of course, the real question is: does Ra's al Ghul have any feats of singing so he can take on the Peter Sellers Fu Manchu in a singing contest?
