  • When it comes to powerful kids with numbers for names, Eleven from Stranger Things and Five from Umbrella Academy have the game on lock.

  • 58-year-old man inside a child's body, so there's that.

  • Her name is Eleven?

  • El for short.

  • But which odd number is your favorite?

  • Stick around until the end so you can decide the outcome of the ultimate Five versus Eleven showdown.

  • When it comes to superpowers, you don't want to cross Five or Eleven.

  • While Five is an assassin that can jump through time-

  • Would you please stop?

  • Eleven is an inter-dimensional traveler with psychokinesis.

  • We never would have upset you if we knew you had superpowers.

  • (arm breaks, Troy screams)

  • She broke my arm! My arm!

  • Go.

  • Fighting monsters and preventing the apocalypse requires energy, which is probably why both Five and Eleven are passionate about their snacks of choice and will stop at nothing to get them.

  • Got you breakfast.

  • Young lady, you know you have to pay for those.

  • (glass smashes)

  • But everybody knows you can't serve waffles without coffee.

  • Can I get the kid a glass of milk or something?

  • The kid wants coffee, black.

  • Cute kid.

  • And each kid has their own unique but very different personal style.

  • While Five is working eternal schoolboy chic, Eleven's style transformation goes from tomboy to eighties "it girl".

  • And even when they're looking fly, it turns out kids with superpowers tend to have a problem with authority.

  • Go, go, go, go, go!

  • (hurried shouting)

  • (groaning)

  • You!

  • Call security!

  • Surely we can come to some form of agreement that benefits both parties.

  • Quid pro quo? What do you say?

  • Why not?

  • Here's your "quid".

  • Here's your "pro".

  • (Carmichael screams)

  • Here's your "quo".

  • (glass tank smashes)

  • Both Five and Eleven tend to talk back.

  • While one is a girl of few words-

  • No.

  • No more.

  • Five has more than enough words to go around.

  • Excuse me, it's my son Kenny's birthday today and wouldn't your son be happier playing with kids his own age?

  • Assuming it's okay with your two dads.

  • I would rather chew off my own foot.

  • While both numbers are certainly on their own unique spectrum, they each manage to find love in their own way.

  • You look beautiful.

  • Do you want to dance?

  • I don't know how.

  • I don't either. Do you want to figure it out?

  • Eleven's love story is a coming-of-age, slow burn while Five's love interest is let's say, unconventional.

  • You're not going anywhere.

  • Put her down.

  • So, which super-kid number is your favorite?

  • Who would win in the ultimate Five versus Eleven showdown?

  • Let us know in the comments.
