Captain Nemo vs Daleks, who would win?

[pbray]

Today's question to ponder-- if the Daleks invaded an Earth defended by Captain Nemo, would humanity survive? Nemo has the advantages of an undersea base, while the hive mind tells me that Daleks haven't been seen swimming since the Classic Who episode The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964). But the Daleks have shown the ability to assemble overwhelming armies....

Nemo is the original Steampunk antihero, so I'd like to think that humanity had a fighting chance. And Daleks even look Steampunk in appearance, so they'd fit right in the set of the old films. I'd like to see James Mason* facing off against them.

Alas, I can't bring you Nemo versus the Daleks. But I can offer up a collection of Steampunk vs Aliens stories for your reading enjoyment.

*James Mason played Captain Nemo in the 1954 film 20000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Exactly. With the Daleks there never is a final victory.

Tangentially related to your icon, we're trying to figure out if the cover art hints that Cthulu's followers may be involved in the attack.

Excuse me, are you suggesting the Ood are Cthuloid? :P

...I can get behind this idea. I mean, space was heavily involved in the Mythos

I'm not the first to have noticed the resemblance... I sense a common ancestor or perhaps Time Lord meddling....

Well, they are definitely cooler than Deep Ones.
