As a callow youth, I watched a lot of classic old-school cinema cartoons, and I was struck by a weird coincidence: Superman and Popeye’s best both came from the Fleischer Brothers studios. Heck, these were actually so good that some of them were in black & white, and still much better than the average animated flick, meaning that either sailor or alien made for an entertaining six or so minutes… Of course, they’re also super-strong and adventurous, as well as more powerful than a Jedi, leading to today’s 24-fps query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) will let Faithful Spoilerites provide their own context for this one, asking: Sailor Or Alien?

If you put them together, you get Space Pirate.
Space Pirates are pretty awesome…
Thank you, thank you, thank you for prompting fond memories of Superman’s pal..the sauncha-munching Captain Strong!
And the answer to your query is sailor. For being able to be beaten nearly unconscious and stil have the strength the squeeze open a sealed can with enough force that the contents go flying into the air.
Saw sailor as a kid, b & w Super Alien only 30 years later. Sailor was the #1.
Alien sailors.
Fleischer alien vs Fleischer sailor or
