A great many have suggested Robert Oppenheimer faced off with Sagat the Grand in war at Australia. Kevin Costner, Eli Manning and Phil Collins opted to remain on no side in the conflict. Johnathan Frakes however elected to sell out the brotherhood of Coulier and engaged Sagat the Great through Six Flags.
