Grendel: The Superior Villian

I think most of you would agree that Grendel was the superior villain. He came to Herot every night for twelve years without anyone stopping him; he clearly had no fear (that is, until Beowulf came along). I mean, he is certainly a better monster than Humbaba because Humbaba begged and pleaded for mercy. If Grendel and Hector were in a battle together I would probably bet on Grendel to win, after all, Hector was just a mere human. Grendel, through my eyes, was stronger and defiantly more fearful than the cowardly Humbaba and Hector, the mortal.
