Two of Stephen King's most classic characters, squaring off against each other!

Carrie, an abused, misunderstood telekinetic teenager who lost herself in rage and grief and destroyed her entire highschool class and the school in a fury of telekinesis, blood and fire. In the BOOK from which the movie came, she destroys the TOWN and not just the highschool and she also displays some telepathic ability. Carrie's telekinesis could cause wide stroke destruction, or be refined to manipulate small objects. She could control people's bodies and even was shown to be able to cause a car to blow up.

Charlene aka "Charlie", a young girl who was the daughter a telepathic mother and a man who could possess minds and impose his will on others. She had pyrokinesis. She displayed a variety of affects including raising the temperature in a localized area, causing objects (and some people) to spontaneously combust, fireballs, flame blasts, and even able to manifest some kind of "force field" of heat that would melt bullets before they could touch her.

I would say a good battle scene would be outside "The Shop", the government agency that hounded Charlie and her family. there's open space for the two to duke it out.

Obviously Carrie would be able to deflect direct attacks like Fireballs. She might even pull a "Prue" and send them BACK at Charlie, but would she be able to control Charlie's body before Charlie tried to make her spontenously combust? Both women showed that when gripped by emotion, they would consistently escalate their displays of power.

Who do you favor to win?
