    $\begingroup$ From Oak's comment above, the "neighbour" clue might refer to the Marvel character Sandman, who is an enemy of Spider-Man, as in friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Great answer! I'm convinced this is going to be marked correct when you incorporate Nathaniel's clue. I was totally stumped on the "voice" part of the first clue. And Metallica used to be my favorite band. Doh! $\endgroup$

You could be a

Snowman

You exit in light because

you melt in the sun

Your fist carry sticks because

your arms are made of sticks

You fight your neighbor because

neighbors have snowball fights (This one's a stretch)

You hold cars because

Snow causes traffic, accidents, you can get snowed in, etc.

You could be a

Policeman

In voice I exit in light

Just picture all the movie scenes where the criminal has flashlights, car lights, police-car-flashing-lights, helicopter lights, etc. shining on them, and the policeman is speaking to them from behind the lights (e.g., "Come out with your hands up!")

In fists I carry a stick

A policeman carries a baton

My neighbor I fight

A policeman may have to fight with another in the line of duty

And cars I hold 'em

A policeman may impound a car used for illegal activity

I know it's kind of similar to answer of elmer007, but I'll give it a shot.

You are a:

Red traffic light man (The guy symbol on traffic lights)

In voice I exit in light

When green light flashes, red guy dims out and all waiting drivers beep horn (in voice).

In fists I carry a stick

Believe it or not, red guy carries the traffic light pole (a big stick).

My neighbour I fight

Red guy and green guy always fight to dim the other one and show up.

And cars I hold 'em

Red guy stops traffic sometimes.
