Demigods Face-Off: Who Wins?

Half mortal, half-god, some of the more interesting fictional characters have got to be the demigods.

Stronger and more powerful than humans, but still susceptible to mortal weaknesses like aging, demigods are usually heroic characters who are called upon to save the day.

In this category, we face off the most notable offspring of a deity with a mortal.
