Clash of Philosophies

Write a scene where the hero and the villain have a verbal battle about their ideologies before the physical battle begins.

In many classic superhero stories, the conflict is not only physical but also ideological. Both the hero and villain are often archetypes embodying certain beliefs or philosophies. In this prompt, before the battle of brawn, pen a battle of beliefs. Balance dialogue and action, and examine themes of personal conviction, the gray nature of morality, and the power of a persuasive argument.
