@WhoWouldWin13 In Greek Mythology, the Makhai were the personified spirits of battle and combat, lesser war gods. Though nowhere near as powerful as Ares or Athena (the main war gods), like all gods they were a force to be reckoned with. In the movie "Wrath of the Titans", they are partly made

@WhoWouldWin13 of magma, and seem to not have the weakness of the other gods when it comes to needing human prayers and worship to remain young and strong. This was why they overcame Zeus and Poseidon during the film (the latter able to escape). The Makhai are super strong, super fast and

@WhoWouldWin13 can fling lava balls at their opponents. They are also masters of surprise attacks. The following shows them in battle:

@WhoWouldWin13 Xenomorphs are roughly the same size, also masters of stealth attacks and have both acidic blood and saliva (To be continued)

@WhoWouldWin13 They are also super strong and super fast.

So, who wins?

Well, the lava vs acid factor is a difficult one to measure. Both substances can eat right through flesh, both can dissolve strong materials like metal (though Xenomorph blood can dissolve it faster), and both are going

@WhoWouldWin13 to be utilized as projectile weapons (one of the strengths of a xenomorph is that when it gets cut or shot, the blood that shoots out dissolves anything it touches). However, the Makhai, being in the Wrath of the Titans shock troops of Cronus, beings who fought in the War of the

@WhoWouldWin13 Titans (what the ancient Greeks called the "Titanomachy"), have military training, including training on how to fire projectiles, and their balls of lava will have a greater range than Xenomorph spit or blood spurts.

Physicality is a hard one to measure, but we need to

@WhoWouldWin13 remember that, while Xenomorphs have only one upper body, Makhai have two. Four super strong, super quick arms against 2 super strong arms. This probably gives the Makhai roughly twice the upper body strength of xenomorphs.

Let's also consider training. Makhai are shock troops,

@WhoWouldWin13 trained in H2H combat. Considering the period in which they lived (and the region), this may have included an early form of Pankration (an ancient Greek martial art practiced by the Hoplites, a combination of ancient Greek boxing, and Greco-Roman wrestling (though possibly with

@WhoWouldWin13 kicks, elbow and knee shots as well). What do Xenomorphs have for hand to hand combat training?

None.

They're animals.
Imagine a fight between a person with the mind of a beast, and a person of the same size who is a black belt in Judo or a master of Tae Kwon Do (hard style),

@WhoWouldWin13 . Who would win that fight? You're starting to get the idea of what would happen if a Makhai and a Xenomorph got into it at close quarters.

Intelligence should also be considered. Makhai are sentient beings, highly intelligent. They have been around since ancient times, long

@WhoWouldWin13 before the modern era. Indeed, they fought in the Titanomachy, which happened before Zeus created humans. Thus, they are very, very intelligent.
Xenomorphs have some intelligence, but are not on par with humans. They are still animals, smart animals but animals nonetheless.

@WhoWouldWin13 Indeed, some have considered to be not very intelligent at all in some ways. Their saving grace here is their stealthy predatory ability and their enormous spiked tails, which together make a deadly combination.

However, it wont be enough to take down the Makhai, especially

@WhoWouldWin13 considering that the Makhai will have blades forged by magical beings. They will also have helmets made by magical beings. This magic metal may prove impervious to xenomorph acid, especially if it is adamantine metal (a metal of Greek mythology used by the gods).

We also have

@WhoWouldWin13 to consider the fact that the Makhai have two heads. If they lose one, they can still fight. If A Xenomorph loses a head...they're dead as a doornail.

I thus conclude...

@WhoWouldWin13 THE MAKHAI SEND XENOMOPHS TO HELL!!!!!!!!!
