Both at their peak. I want to know two questions. A.) Who would win in a fight. And B.) If both went thought each of the main 8 games plus revaltions. Which one would have the easier time? Who would clear faster in their prime?

In a straight fight I'm backing Chris all the way. Leon has some impressive showings, but Chris has replicated most of his best feats and then some. Dude has a laundry list of downright loony feats that Leon doesn't really match up to. He also have plenty of experience going multiple rounds with Wesker, the quintessential superhuman of the franchise and coming out on top in the end.

As for Round 2, Leon fails to clear the gauntlet at all because of the mentioned multiple encounters against Wesker. Albert often liked to draw things out and toy with Chris because the two have a long bitter history together, but he wouldn't care about Leon to play with his food there. He'd just see him as an insect to be squashed and be done with it.

Peak Chris running the gauntlet can smoke all of the opposition, but probably fails at the escort missions given his track record for actually keeping his squad alive.

I should probably take thr feat out to have a more balanced thread lol.

The wild part is that Chris has enough bonkers feats like that the boulder scene is hardly even an outlier at this point, like that same fight had him survive a jet crash landing into a volcano without being harnessed to anything before he even punched the boulder.

Chris gets trapped in the clutches of a massive 13 ton constrictor snake. How does he escape his fate? Just lift that shit off of him like a light day at the gym.


A thick industrial shutter tries to forcibly close itself seperating Chris from his partner. How does he prevent this from happening? By holding that open for over a dozen seconds so Piers can come crawl his ass through.


Chris comes across a giant 30+ foot tall BOW with skin near impervious to conventional weaponry, it's only weak point are the organs which are sheilded beneath a thick metal plating. How does Chris deal with this? He grabs the metal and yanks out it's organs with his bare hands. Does he shoot the exposed organ like a normal person? No, he rips out one of its spiked and uses it as a spear like he was in a God of War game.



Chris faces the huge Mother Mold boss. When stunned Chris is able to uppercut it across the room like it was a baseball.

In terms of durability, Chris can walk off getting ragdolled across the room by Wesker or Haos. However, in case that wasn't enough here he is tanking a rocket launcher hitting square on.


The man clearly snagged himself some of that Cap super soldier serum when he crossed over with Marvel in the MvC games.

These two fought to a stalemate in Resident Evil 6, so by all accounts they're meant to be equals in-verse and certainly treated that way. Leon's agility is as fucking absurd as Chris' strength is, so it's tough to call a winner in a fight here.




1:00 is the aforementioned fight between the two.




Nice showing of how ridiculously agile and durable Leon is, bearing in mind this dude had already beaten Chris by this point.




Not saying Chris ISN'T agile as he showcases some good bullet timing here, he's just not as agile as Leon is.




See what I mean? :maybe
It's really tough to call an outright winner in a fight but I'd almost lean towards Leon.

The only thing either's done that I couldn't see the other replicating is defeating Wesker, because it's specifically the history Chris has with Wesker that causes him to toy with Chris and leave the latter (plus Sheva let's not forget) capable of eventually killing him. I can't see Leon pulling it off on his own.

Both Chris and Leon can survive getting ragdolled by superhuman zombies and mutants.

their biggest difference is the fact that Chris is stronger and Leon is faster, generally speaking. Both were treated equal when they fought breifly.

I think it’s a tossup, and is generally treated like a toss-up in-universe

Modern Capcom basically potrays them like this. Chris is made bigger, stronger and Bulkier while Leon is made more agile, smaller, and faster

Chris has a pretty good laser room feat himself



Not quite as wild as the room Leon was in, but shows he can be plenty acrobatic when he needs to, the situation just rarely calls for it from him.
