It’s the battle between the black abrasive grandmas with Madea from The Tyler Perry Collection and Big Momma from ‘Big Momma’s House.’ Both characters hit the big screen in 2006. But who has the upper hand? Is it Madea, the brash, marijuana-toting maven or is it Big Momma who packs a blade in her girdle? Watch out, now!

Name: Hattie Mae Pierce

Nickname: Big Momma

Age: A woman of a certain age

Last Seen In: ‘Big Momma’s House and ‘Big Momma’s House 2’

Profession: Underneath the wig and girdle is a FBI agent who is a master of disguises. Malcolm went drag in ‘Big Momma’s House’ to protect a beautiful federal witness and her son, and returns in ‘Big Momma’s House 2’ to re-introduce his alter-ego to the world of childcare.

Love Interests: Malcolm is married to Sherry Pierce who is played by actress Nia Long. Pierce is the ex-girlfriend of Lester Vesco (Terrence Howard), the criminal Big Momma chased in the first movie.

Weapon of Choice: As an undercover FBI agent, Big Momma packs a gun. But she also has been known to give a criminal or two a swift kick in the groin to get her point across.

Why You Don't Want to Mess With Her: Despite the size, Big Momma is pretty nimble on her feet. Her athletic ability combined with her FBI training is the ultimate double threat.

Achilles' Heel: While going undercover as a nanny in, ‘Big Momma’s House 2,’ Big Momma starts to care about her wards.

Choice Words: ''I got a blade in my girdle.''

Name: Mable Simmons

Nickname: Madea

Age: A woman of a certain age

Last Seen In: ‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman.’ Soon to be seen in ‘Madea’s Family Reunion’ (Feb. 2006)

Profession: Madea might be the proto gold digger. She has “outlived” over 10 husbands and happily collected their life insurance.

Love Interests: See above.

Weapon of Choice: Madea has been known to carry a pistol or two in her purse and isn’t afraid to pistol whip a fool.

Why You Don't Want to Mess With Her: She’s not shy about busting a cap or poisoning her husbands if they don’t pass fast enough for her liking.

Achilles' Heel: Where there is Madea, there is usually a little Mary Jane to be found. She has a weakness for the sticky icky and combine that with her other obsessions -- money and men -- and she probably doesn’t sound that much different than half the people you know.

Choice Words: ''Punch you in the face!''
