Hurin. By far.
The man was a beast, taking down 60 trolls. There are none from the Third Age that can hold a candle to him, and there are very few from the first age that can contest with him.
Turin, Fingolfin, Ecthelion, Elendil, Gil-Galad all get honorable mentions.
turin...
elves and gods are a bit unfair to throw into the mix...
i mean comparitvley for what they were...
and for a man, Turin kicked some major ass especially considering how many times he was alone. he killed elves, men, orcs, and the father of all dragons Glaurung.
Feanor took on alot of balrogs, which is worth mentioneding regardless of the outcome.
Tulkas is a bit beyond the count indeed 😉 After all he *is* a Vala 🙂
And yay for Feanor 😛 You're right, Bar-en-Danwedh, he must have been pretty good; I think though that Maedhros is also worth mentioning in here 😉
Túrin for the men sounds like a good choice; I'm not so sure Aragorn could match that... but then, they were all better fighters back in the Silmarillion. After all the enemies were worse 😛
Maedhros became better with his left hand in combat than he had ever been with his right after loosing it... that's a level of dedication and spite that is VERY worth mentioning...
but when the equivilant of satan comes to your door and asks for your help, and you tell him to bugar off out of paranoia of him wanting your craftwork... i gotta giove kudos... i mean there should be a picture of feanor in the dictionary next to fierce...
seriously... he really had a dutch temper.

I can't really remember Morgoth doing that 😛 Am I having some holes in my memories of the Silm? 😕
K I'm not really "that" familliar with Silmarillion and that stuff, but I have read some and one of my buddys have told me some stuff, and I can't say that I'm impressed with Fingolfin.... He had a magical sword and got crushed by Morgoth when he was weaker, but because he held his sword up in the air he wounded him.... Can someone tell me why he is on such a high horse here please. I'm not mocking Fingolfin, but this is the only thing I've heard about him, and it impresses me as much as Isildur cutting of Sauron's ring 😑 .
