To all those who replied to my,"who would win in a game of chess,uncle Martin or Mr. Spock?", thank you. Yet I strongly feel that Uncle Martin would win. Here's a few reasons why, remember that Star Trek takes place in the 23rd century, while My Favorite Martian's era is the 20th century. Vulcan civilization in the 20th century, if not barbaric, was at best archaic in comparison to Martian 20th century civilation. In other words, a Vulcan of the 20th century would be no match for a Martian of the 20th century. Furthermore, Mr. Spock was only capable of a "mind meld", while uncle Martin could actually read minds. Keeping in mind that there's still 300 years between the two characters. Could you imagine how far along Martians will be in the 23rd century? Of course if Martin really wanted to, he could always read Spock's mind, therefore always knowing his next move. But maybe that would be cheating. Only maybe. Now then, we have to also take into consideration, that Spock is still half human. Not quite as logical or in control of his emotions as a pure Vulcan. The final outcome; Uncle Martin the victor!
One last quip, in hand to hand combat, I'd give it to Spock. Not only does Spock have his Star Fleet training, but I believe he posesses superhuman strength. He'd have to take Martin out before he could levitate.
