We can't sleep now, this is bat country!
Your character comes face-to-face with their worst enemy. What is their first reaction?

Depending on how you look at Red Dead Redemption, John actually works for his worst enemy. So the answer to this would be a lot of angry back-and-forth with Ross before reluctantly going out on whatever mission Ross has tasked him with doing.
The closest Mako has to a worst enemy right now is Tahno. Which is to say, a lot of tongue-biting and angry glaring is involved.
Connor stabs them in the neck.

Giovanni Bruni (Casanova movie) - beginning of the movie, snark. End of the movie, swordplay.
Richard Sharpe (Sharpe) - kill them by whatever means necessary, unless politics prevents it. If so, beat them up.
Harry Callahan (Young Wizards) - I don't think he really has any enemies, except the one his daughters are more capable of fighting
Nancy (Doctor Who: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances) - Doesn't have an enemy unless someone threatens her kids, in which case they're in a lot of trouble.
Jonathan Levinson (Buffy) - ...generally, set them on fire. Unless they're human.
Michael Carpenter (The Dresden Files) - try and talk them into mending their ways, and only once that has failed, break out the violence.
Roshaun (Young Wizards) and Gavroche both: "Fairest and fallen, greetings and defiance."
James Norrington (Pirates of the Caribbean) - Doesn't really apply anymore, but swordplay used to come into it a lot.

Then ask Elle to help X kill her again.

Gibbs would probably try and hide.
Hoard would call security or the cops.
Cy, Charlie and Kirk would probably get into fights, though Charlie might as likely find a way to avoid the fight.

Zelgadiss: Violence! But only after he and his friends retreat, regroup, and discover its weakness or a long-lost way that may be the only chance they have at saving the world from destruction.
Yrael: Run the everloving hell away and keep going, unless circumstances are such that the Destroyer can be imprisoned again. >_>
no subject
A bit more specifically, he'd draw his sword, and not make the first move, but be ready to react instantly if Alex did.
Fluttershy: Befriend him, because Celestia wants them to and thinks Fluttershy can? I'm pretty sure that prior to KCaFO Discord is the closest thing she has, as she's the only entity she's ever badmouthed...
Kain: Probably get brainwashed. That seems to be a thing, and I've never really been able to decide whether he's particularly susceptible or if they're just targeting him in particular for other reasons.
no subject
Yugo also doesn't, but if he did, he'd transform immediately, and after the inevitable flashy fight sequence somebody would have exploded.
Wan - aha. Hargh. He does come face-to-face with his worst enemy. Said worst enemy ends up imprisoned in a tree for ten thousand years. If he came face-to-face with him again, there would be another attempt to seal him inside that tree. If the tree wasn't nearby, Wan would do his best to seal him somewhere else, or at least drive him off.
no subject
Clara: Does not have a worst enemy, really. Yet.
Haymitch: Goes quiet - just. His worst enemy is Snow, and you don't talk about anything, you don't think about anything, because somehow he figures it out, and uses it against you.
Glorfindel: Grins, and charges.
Bones: ... *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh* Time of death is...
Katya: Watchful wariness - she knows she's not nearly powerful enough to take him on, but...
Balthazar: He attacks. He doesn't last long, because Morgana is waaay out of his weight class, but still. Idiot.
Blakeney: Depends! If they're on neutral territory, or under certain conditions, there's rules! If it's in the middle of a fight, he's going to attack.
Simmons: ....................... For where she is right now, I think Loki's enemy #1? Ish. Anyway, running seems like a good plan. Running away now.

Trowa: I guess this would probably be Treize? (Middie Une is his worst It's Complicated, instead.) Bland mind games in an attempt to figure out as much information as possible, with rapid internal scheming going on. Trowa is still willing to kill or do whatever else he considers genuinely necessary, but he has no temper to speak of, and his situation is not currently such that there's anyone who'd get attacked on sight out of necessity.
Enjolras's worst enemies are all abstract concepts. His first reaction to any person representing them would be ideological debate. I guess his worst human enemies are various high-level governmental officials, and yeah, ideological argument. He's extremely capable of violence (extremely), but that's mid-battle, in a kill-or-be-killed situation. What he would like to do is to violently establish an egalitarian republic and then put any officials who need it to a fair trial under the laws of said egalitarian republic.
River shoots them. There might or might not be words first. This is, presumably, an Academy doctor, and she has no qualms at all.
Regan yells at them. *pats her*

Max doesn't really do enemies. But those he does have, he tends to trust Jack to deal with.
Erik again, doesn't do enemies in a fight for your life sense. Now, if we were talking about academic rivals, he'll give them the respect they deserve, unless they're cheaters.
Alfred depends on who's around. If he's in the midst of a party, he'll be unfailingly and unflappably polite. If he's alone, and they're say, threatening Master Bruce, he won't hesitate to take them out. Before being unflappably polite to their unconscious/dead bodies.
Bean doesn't react. But he begins planning their downfall. Because, they were never meant to meet again. EVER. That was the deal.
no subject
Jess: 1) She was sure she blew her dad up, she'll be more careful this time. 2) Madame Hydra, If she can get away with it, attack. If not, snark and sass.
Quinlan: Try and escape if he can. If not, try and stall Darth Vader or the Jedi Hunter(s) long enough for his family to get away.
Maybe more later if they speak up.

Mary humiliates them socially, saying something cutting thinly disguised as a compliment. (Except really a lot of the time her worst enemy is herself, so her response is... feel guilty and despondent?)
Stiles makes a series of disturbing and ridiculous threats that he probably can't back up physically, then confronts them with a baseball bat and various plants with mystical properties. (He would be super scary with actual weapons training.)

Asami doesn't really have a worst enemy right now. She'll have at least one and maybe two in the future, and by her canon-end points her reaction would be to try to take the person down long enough for authorities to intervene. If it were necessary.
Katara's I guess is the Fire Nation soldier who killed her mother, though she ultimately walked away from him. She has other enemies, but I'm not sure any qualify as that direct narrative-line "nemesis."
Leslie's is Councilman Jamm, who's pretty much a dick. But she would attempt polite conversation with him for the four seconds that would last before the exchange devolved into low-grade insults.
At this point, Manny would punch Domino in the face again. And sober this time!!!
Marceline... weirdly I feel like the right answer to who's her "worst enemy" is Princess Bubblegum. In that Marceline would annoy her and PB would tease back and it would all totally work to deal with their unresolved tension I mean what.
Hiccup doesn't really regard anyone as his worst enemy, though in the future other people will come to regard him as theirs.

Not Hunson Abadeer? Really?

(Weirdly, I have three ladies where their issues with their fathers are big narrative points, and only with Asami did I consider her father to be her worst enemy.)

If it is a cat, she'll probably just freeze in fear and at most set the cat on fire. If not, face-to-face, enemy is going to be punched so hard. From a distance (especially after said punching), they are getting a pillar of heavenly light and fire. Because pillars kill all.
Fairy Fixit isn't llikely to have enemies, only academic rivals. A spirited debate may arise, maybe.
Evil Chicken also isn't likely to have enemies. Too short of an attention span.
Well, there's Death, but Death just gets ignored. HARD
no subject
Eriond would try to persuade them to reasonableness, do whatever's necessary in as gentle a way possible, then regret that they drove themselves to it and pity them and, if possible, even forgive them.
Lois would punch them in the face. And deliver scathing lines, prep to write an article. Or possibly be still and trying to hide her fear and snarky because she has a gun to her head. ...and she'd still try to punch them.
Tavi has a lot of enemies, and which is the worst honestly depends on context. They do mostly end up dead, and the ones who don't frankly aren't that important. As a rule, have a conversation which either ends in an offer of a less painful option--even if that option is 'less painful way to die'--which is bundled in something of a threat. ...Then sword comes out. Also fire. And if necessary hurricanes and volcanoes.
For a fantastic spy and frighteningly clever and twisty-thinking guy, Tavi doesn't actually deal with enemies subtly...

Hiro does his level damnedest to cut him up; if it's Raven, he'll be trying to dismember rather than kill, but for Rife, no such compunctions. (If he's got Reason, he'll forego his swords and just blast Rife to chunky salsa.)
Max and Michael apologize to each other for all the things forever.
Ryûk can probably write Near's real name in his Note with impunity, now that he doesn't have to worry about it saving Light's life.
After the mostly-off-panel training she's recently done, Rukia might be ready to face Aizen, but probably not Yhwach.
Jennifer bodyslides either Thetis or Chiraben into someplace unsurvivable.
Ralph wrecks Turbo slowly, carefully, and with great attention to the considerable detail involved.
Néo blows hir [surprise sex] whistle and gets as far away from Sensei as shi can as fast as shi can.
