Founder of the Mongol Empire, which grew into the largest contiguous land empire in history. Rose from an outcast childhood on the steppe to unite the Mongol tribes in 1206.
Zangief
“The Red Cyclone” · Street Fighter · 1991 · 7′0″ (213 cm), 256 lb (116 kg)

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Genghis by DQ. Zangief, 43 cm taller and 41 kg heavier, dominates until he hoists the Khan into a Spinning Piledriver out of pure habit. The referee disqualifies him mid-spin. Genghis, dizzy but technically unbeaten, wins by DQ, and the Yam relay spreads the news faster than Zangief can finish apologising.
Fair fight? Hold it in a pro-wrestling ring where the Spinning Piledriver is legal. Zangief finally gets to be himself, and Genghis gets a stretcher and a long rest.
