Which Mortal-turned-god will win the fight?
Talos (Elderscrolls)- an emperor who founded Tamriel Empire and became a god after his death. Until the nazi elves banned him after they kicked his empire's ass in Skyrim. So his character is before the events in skyrim.
The Dark One- a goblin general who was killed by assassin while negotiating civil rights for goblin kind. When his goblins launched the revenge attack, he became a god.
I put "others" since there may be other characters (probably better) like Talos and the darkone.

That depends where this is set. Talos is said to have achieved CHIM, which should make it impossible for anything to defeat him, at least in Nirn. Between CHIM and Dragon Break, combat just becomes silly.

(For those not blessed with the time to read ten thousand articles onElder Scrolls Knowledge: CHIM is, basically, and below all the intentionally confusing language, the knowlede that you are a game character in a world played by someone else. It gives you the power to access the console and the construction kit in a limited fashion, thereby modding the game and cheating. A Dragon Break is, basically, when Alduin has enough of linear time for a while and decides to make multiple paralell paths of history, which split up and later merge again, somehow all remaining true. It is how the game explains saving/loading the game and multiple possible endings in Daggerfall.)

As for more Mortals turned god, I'd like to nominate Cayden Cailean, who accidentally became a god while epically drunk.

Don't you mean Akatosh, not Alduin?

Now my knowledge of the Dragon Break is minimal, but Akatosh seems to fit better.

Akatosh is the God of Time, whereas Alduin is just the Eater of Worlds.

Ah, sorry, yeah.
I was mentally stuck back in old Lore and forgot that they are separate entities now. (Earlier books mentioned Alduin as an alternate name for Akatosh).

For more nomination: Lightsong, god of Atheism. He'd lose a fight hard, but I like the guy.

I understand. I was actually a little disappointed when they changed that, as it ruined the Akatosh/Lorkhan symmetry.

Andraste from Dragon Age was mortal before she became the Bride of the Maker, so she's practically a god but not 100% sure

White Mage from 8bit theater went back in time and created the world while Sarda was away.

How about Malacath from Elderscrolls? He may be a daedra but his quest have justifications..
He cursed an orc village because their chieftain was a coward jerkass.
and also
Sheogorath in skyrim (or champion of cyrodil)
