How about Fu Manchu vs. Allan Quatermain?

Think about the connection. They're both from the same time period, but are the anti-thesis to each other. Allan is the brave and manly hero, while Fu Manchu is written as the slimy, conniving villain. Allan is written as the ideal colonizer, seeking to aid the Native people, while Fu Manchu moves to a 'colonized' country, to take it down from the inside. Allan is an idealized white man, while Fu Manchu is a demonized asian, showing worldwide racial tensions through two of the period's most popular characters.
