In season seven of Buffy, Nathan Fillion BRILLIANTLY plays this evil priest who's been juiced up by The First Evil. He is stronger than all the Slayer-wannabes, and he beats the crap out of Buffy. He obviously has some gender/sexual hang-ups.

Not only does he beat the crap out of Buffy, in the same fight he puts him thumb through Xander's eye, and beats up all te Slayer-wannabes.

Basically, he kicks everyone's arse, doesn't break a sweat, and intimidates them all so much that when Buffy wants to go back in to deal with him, everyone else banishes her from her home. That's how scary he is.

After Buffy receives some emotional validation from Spike - a cuddle, it was sweetly vomit-inducing - she goes back to Awesomely Creepily Evil Nathan Fillion's lair. She challenges him, and takes him on.

This is her basic game plan - to get past him to the thing he is guarding. He's still stronger than her, but this time's she's paying attention, and if you analyse what the fight must have been like - she needed to know what he was going to do as he did it. She needed to understand her own body and how it moved, how it would affect his own moves towards her. It was a finely orchestrated chess game with white sweeping the board from the first move. Bits of it panned out in slow motion.

While the end result of each fight is different - Buffy just wants to get past him, she kills him later - the essential idea of an uber-strong opponent who cannot be fought on skill or strength alone, who is defeated by a sort of calm confidence where the hero sort of... gels with the other person's movements and so reaches hir goal - they seem to be very similar fights to me.

I gather you don't like Buffy? Shame. Some of it - not all, I will grant you, and I think the entire series is thematically unsystematic - is ultra awesome.
