History Awesome / MarsAttacks

** It should be noted the fight isn't even remotely close to fair. Byron ''demolishes'' the Ambassador; the Ambassador doesn't land a single hit, and Byron just toys with him until the others get away, at which point he ''shatters'' the Ambassador's helmet with a single punch. In fact, it becomes very apparent no single Martian is capable of so much as touching him and they have to ZergRush him to stand a chance. And again, he still lives and crushes them all after it appears they had beat him to death.
** Just the brass balls he had to walk toward ''a crowd'' of '''''armed''''' Martians when any one of them could've easily fried him on the spot, yet he still disarms himself and tosses away the rifle he had and asks them for a boxing match with no guns whatsoever. The Martian Ambassador likewise decides to honor his request for a proper and fair boxing match and orders his fellow Martians to do the same by tossing away their guns. The Martians might be evil, but they know fair play.
