I am wondering who would win in a fight of some kind between Jack Reacher and Jack Bauer.
Jack Reacher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Reacher)
Jack Reacher, from the series of books by Lee Child. Nothing hurts him. He is a world champion sniper, can always tell the time without a watch, can do complicated math in his head instantly, and is described by a man who he convicted of murder as an "investigative genius."
From TV Tropes
Jack Reacher, from Lee Child's series of books, is a massive example of this. Literally. He's 6'5" tall and an ex-military policeman - which, in the books' context, makes him some sort of Super-Duper Special Forces soldier. Oh, and he's never wrong. Every other character in the novels exist to raise alternate viewpoints for Reacher to disprove. He also gains new savant abilities with each new book. For instance, the ability to do any type of math in his head, the ability to always know what time it is without a timepiece, and the ability to instantly calculate the distance between two points by eyeballing it - which comes in handy, because he's the best sniper in the world (despite being on the road for years and unable to spend time practicing and maintaining any shooting skills). Oh, and he also meets a new gorgeous, buxom girl in each novel, and he sleeps with practically all of them. One of them was happily engaged at the time but won over by Reacher's manly charm. Just read the list of "Acquaintances" at the Other Wiki, and try and guess which are the ones he sleeps with. Go on, try it. It's fun. Oh, and he wins every fight he's ever in. No matter how many people he's fighting at once, how big or skilled they are, and whether or not they're armed. Most of the time pretty easily.
Jack Bauer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Bauer)
Similarly, Jack Bauer of 24 is epic awesome. Sneak into a heavily guarded enemy compound, save your family, and kill the head bad guy? All before breakfast, because he's been awake for 36+ hours! By the end of the season, he's still sprinting around, killing people even though he has been awake for at least 42 hours straight.

So who wins the fight?
