I agree with you about lust vs cause. in addition, hitler was at least liked by a lot of germans, and non-germans in his time, whereas very few people truly like a brutal murderer

I'm betting sherlock holmes (the first holmes story was in 1887) will be a commentator in this fight, because Jack is the one murderer who was never discovered (by sherlock)
@Centurionzo
those mythological stories usually have:
1. the human aided by another god, (i.e. Dionysus beat ares with help from athena)
2. win only against a weaker god than the top gods (same example as above, ares is much weaker than zeus, and poseidon)
3. is not a combat victory but a victory by cunning/trickery
4. the human is a descendant of a god, so may not be 100% human.
abrahamic religions: probably because most fiction writers/publishing organizations don't want to deal with political controversy (or worse, terrorists) as you've stated.
I'm also betting it will be revealed that there is a supreme being who is secretely observing both the gods and humans; because some supreme gods: like the christian god, Gaia, Amaterasu, amun-ra, etc. aren't on the list even though they should be greater than some of the other gods on the list.
Hermes is currently my top suspect for the secret supreme being observing the fight.
