Marvel Comics Character Tournament!!!

[Genesis 1.0]

So let me get this straight; you liking Wolfsbane is going to giver her the boost she needs to overcome being blasted in the face?

You own man!

[spartin2008]

Jubilation Lee, o and if anyone wonders, im back cause we lost power from a storm yesterday, but its back on now!

[theoneandonly]

wolfs bane

[Exploding Boy]

I vote Jubilee, as much as I dont want to. She can level cities with her powers. If she doesn't act like a ditz and uses her powers she should win.

[Kmack]

Jubilee

I vote Jubilee, as much as I dont want to. She can level cities with her powers.
Since when:confused:

[Sparta*]

I guess i'll vote for Wolfsbane...I really liked her in X-Factor, and I think she would get the jump on Jubilee...and that's all it would take. Jubilee talks too much :p

[Iceman/Psylocke]

Yeah Rahne has the wiles to outwit Jubilee. The kid might be more powerful but she's not an expert at using her powers yet.

[Exploding Boy]

Since when

When she really uses her powers she can do amazing things. The thing with her is that like her name Jubilation she's happy. Just because she can doesn't mean she always will, its out of character for her to do things like that often.

[Silver Sable]

Jubes

[Vanguard07]

Rahne. She's far more consistently skilled than Jubes. Sure jubilee supposedly has a lot of potential power but i've rarely seen her use it effectively.
Rahne, I think, would be too fast and agile for jubes and would make short work of her.

[foxx5]

jubilee

[Sparta*]

14 - 11 for Jubilee is the final tally

This match-up was requested by TOBY TEMPLE ages ago! lol sorry for forgettin' Toby!

[Slim31]

Thanks to the Spiderman and Xmen cartoons I hate both of these idiots. still I'll take Sauron cause he's a mutant and is less annoying...or is he more(oh well)

[Exploding Boy]

Sauron can siphon life forces can't he? Or do they have to be a mutant? Still he can fly and has energy blast. I give it to him

[Artistsean]

I like the Lizard better, something about him is cooler. Something about Sauron bugs me. maybe its how he was portrayed in Weapon X, I don't know.
I'll go with Lizard.

[JeanGrey[GR]]

Lizard

[theoneandonly]

lizard

[Bastila]

lizard

[spartin2008]

Toughy...i think i would only vote for Lizard cause i like him more...i would have to say that Sauron would take this....so he gets the vote

[Silicon Surfer]

Sauron, flight,hypnosis and illusion is a big advantage.

[Toby_Temple]

This match-up was requested by TOBY TEMPLE ages ago! lol sorry for forgettin' Toby!
YEY!:) Thanks alot!:up:

And I'm voting for Sauron. He can always drain Lizard's life force.

[torkibe]

I'm gonna say Sauron. The Lizard seems like a one trick pony. He's strong and has healing factor, but Sauron has too many other things going for him. The only X factor could be The Lizard's ability to telepathically control reptiles. I doubt this would affect Sauron, but if it did than that could change things.

Oh, and for the record, Sauron isn't a mutant. He just hangs out with them ;)

[Kmack]

Sauron

[K4tzm4n]

Sauron

[U.S War Machine]

Lizzy!

[Genesis 1.0]

Sauron can win this one without ever coming close to Lizard, which is Doc Conners only advantage; Strength. His Durability won't stand up to Sauron's aerial based blasts for long, not to mention if Sauron manages to hypnotize him. Suaron has every weapon he needs to end this one and there's not a damn thing Lizard can do about it.

Sauron

[LongDong]

Sauron

[3dman27]

lizard

[Hellstormer]

Sauron

[Genesis 1.0]

Man I really miss the 'Explanation' ruling.

[Vanguard07]

I doubt either of their respective hypnotic abilities would work on their opponents and Sauron's fire breath likely wouldnt get past Lizard's armored hide.
Also Sauron's life draining abilities require physical contact and if Sauron got close enough to try that Lizard could do some serious damage first.

So honestly I could see this fight going either way. Probably depending on which incarnation of the Lizard and his particular mental capacity.

On average though... i guess i'll give it to Sauron cause of the flight. The high ground is a huge advantage.

[Genesis 1.0]

What exactly makes you think Sauron's hypnotism would fail? Any reasons in the past that would indicate that? I don't think so, especically since he's taken over much more complex minds.

As to his breath, Lizard's Durable but no way in Hell does he shrug off a direct hit from Sauron, espeically since he's guaranteed to tag him several times from the air.

[Sparta*]

I thought Sauron could only drain a mutants lifeforce.....?

[Silicon Surfer]

I thought Sauron could only drain a mutants lifeforce.....?

Yes as far as I know he can only drain mutants. However his hypnotic powers are extremely powerful. They are said to be stronger than Mesmeros

[foxx5]

Sauron

[Sparta*]

11 - 7 for Sauron so far...

[bcd90]

I know Im about 200 pages too late, but the fact that Mystique won over Domino? Whats that about? I am about to prove you all wrong. Mystiques morphing abilities do not help her in a one-on-one fight seeing as she cant increase her strength or anything of the sort. However Domino luck can help her. Maybe not significantly but nonetheless it will help. So as someone else said it basically comes down to who is the better one-on-one fighter.

On MarvelDirectory.com Mystiques profile does not even once mention her fighting ability. If she was a good fighter they would most certainly mention it. All it says is "Mystique possesses the normal human strength of a woman of her physical age, height, and build who engages in regular exercise".

On to Domino, Marveldirectory.com says

"Strength level: Athlete

Fighting skills: Extensive training in various armed combat techniques and the martial arts

Special skills and abilities: Superb marksman with various firearms, highly skilled athlete, excellent swimmer, adept in use of explosives

Special weaponry: Staff that fires unspecified ammunition, can be used for balance when jumping, is equipped with sensors."

Alot more then Mystique has so whether they are using weapons Domino wins hands down.

And in addition to that http://www.marveloverpower.com/OverPower/Marvel_OverPower/MarvelOverpowerPics/mopheroes/Mystique.jpg

Mystiques card has 4 fighting (8 being the best). Thats not very good at all

As for Domino http://www.marveloverpower.com/OverPower/Marvel_OverPower/MarvelOverpowerPics/mopheroes/Domino.jpg

She has 8 fighting (best possible number) and trust me thats quite rare

So can we all admit that despite Mystique being cool and having neat powers, Domino would still win?

[Silver Sable]

Sauron

[XFanTim]

Hmm, I guess I'll go with the Lizard. Sure Sauron has flight, hypnosis, etc., but I still think he's going to have to come in close to finish Lizard off. And there Lizard's superior strength and regeneration give him the edge.

[KevanG]

I'd have to say that it would depend where they were fighting. If they were in the sewers Lizard would have a huge advantage. Even if they fought in a swamp the lizard would have plenty of hiding places, I don't think Lizard would just be out in open spaces running around. I vote Lizard, it might not be easy but I think he could pull it off :D

[torkibe]

I thought Sauron could only drain a mutants lifeforce.....?

Nope. He's drained all types of creature's to survive. Draining mutants is what usually sets him off, but he can drain all types.

[Venom.Symbiote]

I have to go with the Lizard. So Sauron has a form of hypnosis as a power BUT I believe he has to maintain eye contact with his victim for it to work and the Lizard isn't going to stand around and let him do what he wants. Plus, not only does the Lizard possess strength, agility and speed comparable to Spider-Man's he can also control reptiles within a one mile radius. Last time I checked, Pteradactyls were reptiles so I think Sauron may fail prey to Liazrd's telepathic commands before he can do much of anything else. :venom:

Mystique won the match-up fair and square. I don't know who you think you are dealing with, but if you are going to try and pull a fast one on the people who visit this thread, you better not use marvel cards to prove your point because I have about 15,000...including the two you posted, and the other two IQ hero cards that you failed to post which show Mystique is very evenly matched with Domino. Also, if you want to get really technical, on Mystique's IQ card it says that her fighting cards are +1 for attack, so that would make them both at an equal 7. Thanks for coming out though :up:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Sparta27/MystiqueDomino.jpg

[Sparta*]

I'll vote for the Lizard bringing the current tally to 12 - 11 for Sauron...

[Anubis]

Them Luck people, kinda hard to gague just what will happen.

On paper, Mystique should win, but things have a way of falling into place when Domino is involved. (As we so often here when she shows up.)

Domino I guess.

I don't know whats luckier then being able to change into anyone whenever you want to give yourself an advantage lol none the less, that match-up is done and over with, I just wanted to deliver an old fashioned marvel card school-down.

[Iceman/Psylocke]

Wow 15,000 cards is an impressive collection Sparta :eek:



Sauron has superior abilities to Lizard but I don't think he could finish him off from long range. As soon as he gets close, the game changes.


& more importantly Lizard is just a cooler character than Sauron ;)

[Silicon Surfer]

The entry for Sauron at Marvel.com says that he has superhuman strength as well as flight,hypnosis, concussive energy, and flame.It also appears that he can indeed drain non mutants. The Lizard doesn't stand a chance.

[Sparta*]

Spider Woman

[Nathan]

Ok, I didn't know a thing about Dazzler until I read her bio on marveldirectory.com. I just thought she was some lame Disco queen with light affects and that's it. But it seems she can hold her own pretty good with her abilities.

Shooting lasers, blinding enemies, ****ing up their equilibrium as well, protective shield that vapourizes oncoming projectiles, Holograms, etc. And she was trained by Cyclops so she knows hand-to-hand combat.

I like Spider-Woman, but I'll vote Dazzler.

[Bastila]

Dazzler.

[Vanguard07]

Spiderwoman. But Dazzler'd probably make it interesting at least.

[bcd90]

Ok, so you say they are matched up now because of her IQ cards, making them an even fighter somehow. But now that I think about it these cards arent very accurate. Why would Sabretooth and Wolverine have 8 fighting, when they have been beaten by the likes of Elektra before who has has only 6 fighting. And just beacuase she had 6 fighting in her IQ card does not excuse the fact that she has a 4 in her normal hero card. I think its safe to say the 8 and 7 is better then 4 and 7. So excluding these cards, why doesnt marveldirectory mention anywhere about Mystiques fighting skills? In fact, in the cartoons Mystique is absolutely helpless without her gun. Anyways, I couldnt care less, I just think Mystique unfairly won because you people think she is cool or something. I think Mystique is a better character too, but being fair I think Domino should of won.

Welcome to the real world then. Yes sometimes certain people do win because they are more popular, but not always. And a lot of people's votes can be swayed by a really good argument for the other character. Unfortunately, you came 200 pages too late with your argument. It might not be the most fair thing ever, but Sparta works hard and it is pretty fair most of the time.

Sparta even tried making it so that your vote only counted if you gave reasons why they would win, but then characters would only win by a vote of 2-1, so he switched back.

[U.S War Machine]

Honestly, I don't know how they decided the rankings on the Overpower cards. I looked through some of them yesterday because I was curious, and I found that Spider-man and Shang-Chi master of Kung Fu only have a 7 fighting ranking out of 8, when Domino has 8 on her one card...thats kinda ridiculous...i'm sure Domino isn't a better fighter then Spider-man and Shang-Chi lol :D Equally disturbing is the fact that Thor and the Thing only have a 6 out of 8 for their fighting number!

They had spider-man and domino fight and he beat her without throwing a punch. (Contest of Champions 2)

[Silicon Surfer]

Dazzler would easily win this one. Her original attack could overload the nervous system and was powerful enough to briefly stun the Hulk. After her training in addition to the above mentioned tactics she could also generate solid light eye beams mimicing Cyclops optic blasts. She also has no upper limit on her powers. With enough sound she can and has exceeded the power level of some of Galactus' heralds. She is far out of Spider Womans power class.

[bcd90]

I dont quite understand the ranking of the overpower cards either. How does Wolverine and Sabretooth have 8 fighting? And Thor only has 4 energy and 6 strength? I thought he was an almighty god. And Elektra only has 6 fighting. And Im not sure why there is a massive difference between normal heros and then heros that have intellect. Psylockes normal hero has 5 energy and her intellect hero has 7. Im not sure which one to believe.

[Toby_Temple]

Dazzler. She can convert sound to into infinite forms of light attack, from simple light shows to powerful photon blasts to forcefields, etc.

[Silver Sable]

Dazzler

[Venom.Symbiote]

Ok, first let me get this straight. This Julia Carpenter and not Jessica Drew right? I guess it doesn't matter since I'm voting for Dazzler anyway. The only way I see her losing this one is if she was kept in silence for a long period of time and they were placed out in the middle of nowhere to fight. She's just got too much raw power when properly charged. I like both characters but I don't think Spider-Woman can win this one. :venom:

[Sparta*]

I'll vote for Dazzler bringing the final tally to 9 - 8 in favor of Spider-Woman! Boo-urns to a measely 17 votes! :mad: :down

[Ahura Mazda]

Assuming this is not the titan Atlas who held up the Earth, have to go with Blackbolt

[Nathan]

Oh come on, seriously, Blackbolt takes this one.

[Silicon Surfer]

Black Bolt

[XFanTim]

If Black Bolt so much as whispers, Atlas is history.

Black Bolt

[Toby_Temple]

If this was a contest on who is taller, Atlas wins hands down. But its not. Its an all out battle. So I'm voting for the guy who could rock anybody's world with a careless whisper, Black Bolt!

[K4tzm4n]

black bolt

[3dman27]

atlas

[Zhxa]

Black Bolt

[Harlekin]

Black Bolt, with his hands tied behind his back.

[Vanguard07]

EVEN if this WAS a who's taller competition Black Bolt would still win. Just yell at atlas once and there wouldnt be a single piece bigger than a shoebox.
Honestly Atlas has no chance. Black Bolt could take him easy.
Few people realize just how powerful the king of the inhumans is.
He used to regularly hold his own against people like the thing, the hulk, namor, thor, gladiator etc WITHOUT using his voice.
His voice is just his ace in the whole. He doesnt need it.

Black Bolt wins easy.

My sentiments exactly. In fact, unless they were fighting somewhere that he couldn't do much collateral damage, i don't think BB would even use his voice, and he could still win.

[bcd90]

Blackbolt

[Anubis]

While Atlas is a lot more than a giant guy, (He's more like if you gave Wonder Man the ability to grow giant) he still doesn't really stand a chance against Black Bolt unless, they are fighting in a highly populated area where using his voice would hurt innocent people. (and even then, Black Bolt might simply consider them collateral damage.) Because without it, Atlas is probally stronger.

But over all, i'll just go ahead and go with Black bolt. That voice can destroy mountains. he'd destroy Atlas.

[Colossal Spoons]

Atlas

As the lone Atlas voter, you care to give an explanation? :p

[This I.........]

BLACK BOLT

[Lady Stormcrow]

Black bolt easily!
He could take him down by saying a single letter of the alphabet

[kytrigger]

Wow. Sorry guys. I was looking back and I did PM this match-up, and I completely screwed it up.

I meant Blackbolt vs. Ares not Atlas...sorry guys/gals.:O

Thanks Sparta for posting it though!, and I guess Blackbolt

Black Bolt

[torkibe]

You know, you would think that with all the geniuses around, not to mention the Sorcerer Supreme, someone would have come up with a way that Blackbolt could speak without using his "voice". Beyond simple writing and sign language. You know, some type of device that responds to his thoughts and then speaks for him.

Hmmm....I think an interesting match up might be Deadpool v Wolverine...

[Silicon Surfer]

How about the current Hulk vs the Maestro so that we can watch the fanboys overload and explode. Then we're rid of them until a new crop show up.

[Colossal Spoons]

How about Avalannche vs Pre-HOM Richtor?

[Kmack]

Black Bolt

[Artistsean]

Blackbolt not only has the powerful voice that keesp him from speaking, but can't he also fly and has super strength and such?
Plus he seesm incredibly wise.
I think try as Atlas might, smashing around trying to destroy Blackbolt, he would be easily beaten by Blackbolt. Plus his design is so much cooler.

[Artistsean]

How about Super Adaptoid versus Awesome Android, or vuses Gargoyal Man or MODOCK?

[Colossal Spoons]

I was thinking of having this match-up as well...I just have to get a card for Avalanche...I have a bunch with him in the background...but never the primary focus. Maybe i'll just use one of those anyway...only time can tell :D

All I know is if those two fight, they better be in the middle of Arizona or something cuz the property damage would be nuts :p

[Sparta*]

alright, I get the picture, you all love Blackbolt with the exception of 2 people :p 26 - 2 is the final tally for the King of the Inhumans :up:

**This is a last man standing match-up**


I'll repeat: Wolverine has his BONE CLAWS!

[keap]

gambit...cuz he will team up with archangel to kill wolverine...then he will blow up archangels wings...booyah

[Sparta*]

I don't think Archangel would team up with Gambit...i'm sure he's still kinda sore about the whole mutant massacre/marauder/Gambit working for Sinister ordeal.

[Toby_Temple]

Gambit. He'll blow those two up to kingdom come.

[Colossal Spoons]

Archangel.

[Sparta*]

Current results...

2 - Gambit
1 - Archangel
0 - Wolverine

[Silicon Surfer]

Archangel, he fights from the air where the other two can't reach him and at better than mach 1. The neurotoxin on his feathers would take Gambit down instantly and Wolverine would fall eventually to toxin and wounds.

[XFanTim]

Archangel and Gambit each have long range attacks, whereas Wolverine doesn't, giving them a pretty major advantage. More so in Archangel's case, since he can also use flight to stay ought of Wolverine's range (assuming the fight takes place outdoors where he has space to maneuver.

Between Warren and Gambit it's a tough call, I think either one really needs just one hit to take the other out. But I'll give Archangel the edge on maneuverability (Gambit is acrobatic, but that can't trump flight) so he'll be able to dodge for longer.

I vote Archangel.

[Toby_Temple]

Archangel, he fights from the air where the other two can't reach him and at better than mach 1. The neurotoxin on his feathers would take Gambit down instantly and Wolverine would fall eventually to toxin and wounds.

Gambit can attack from afar as well. And his attack can explode in midair. So even if Archangel can avoid being hit directly, the explosion will ruin his equillibrium and then he gets hit.

[Silicon Surfer]

At the speed and height that Archangel can fight from Gambit would not even be able to get anything close to him. Since Warren can fly faster than the speed of sound Gambit would not be able to even see him unless he wanted him to.

[Iceman/Psylocke]

With Wolverine's senses he'll be ready whenever Archangel chooses to attack. Staying in the sky means Archangel can obviously choose not to be defeated but he won't be able to surprise Wolvie however long he waits. Wolvie's healing factor can soak up the hits from his toxic blades (I don't know how long Archangel can keep sending these out). So I'd call this a stalemate unless Archangel tries to win by coming in closer, and then he'd lose. Either way, close match.

I don't think Gambit has much of a case for victory here. His explosive effects are not strong enough to kill Wolverine and while the two characters share a lot of strengths in guile, combat skills and determination, Gambit is the talented young guy while Wolverine is the master veteran.

[Artistsean]

I'd say first to fall would be Angel, leaving only Gambit and Wolverine to fight.
I can't belive how low Wolverine's votes are. Even with him only havingt bone claws. He is still a vicious fighter and has healing that allows him to regrow his heart.
I think Wolverine wins this last man standing.:wolverine

[Ahura Mazda]

I would think Angel would at least survive the initail encounter simply by staying out of range. Could Gambit cause Wolverine to explode by charging his bones with kinetic energy? If so this would end up being Angel against Gambit and I think ArchAngel could take it.

[Toby_Temple]

At the speed and height that Archangel can fight from Gambit would not even be able to get anything close to him. Since Warren can fly faster than the speed of sound Gambit would not be able to even see him unless he wanted him to.

And with such height, it will take alot of time to pinpoint his target. He does not have special eyes. Gambit only needs to get to an elevated area. As for Wolverine, without his adamantium, Gambit can use his stick to block Logan's claws. Then he can just put a tiny piece of kinetically charged pebble in Logan's ears and boom, Logan goes down.

I have a feelng Gambit would win cause he could try and grab on to Logans claws and explosively charge them then he would do the same to Archangels wings and he'd win by Default.

[Warhammer]

Edit: I change my vote.
I vote for Gambit.

[bcd90]

Even though it'd be a close one between Gambit and Archangel, I'd have to sat Gambit though.

[Sparta*]

Current Standings:

Archangel - 6
Gambit - 12
Wolverine - 2

[Silicon Surfer]

And with such height, it will take alot of time to pinpoint his target. He does not have special eyes. Gambit only needs to get to an elevated area. As for Wolverine, without his adamantium, Gambit can use his stick to block Logan's claws. Then he can just put a tiny piece of kinetically charged pebble in Logan's ears and boom, Logan goes down.

Actually, Warren has fantastic vision. The distance sight of an eagle and the night sight of an owl. He also has a homing sense like that of some birds. LIke an owl he could spot Logan skulking in the shadows from a mile up on a dark night.

[Genesis 1.0]

Pretty versatile match, the fact that Logan's claws are bone eliminates him being able to cut Warren's organic steel wings. Still with a sick experience edge over both these guys, I can see Logan lasting a while. I've no doubt that both Gambit and Warren will zone in on what they'll feel is their biggest threat: the regenerating midget with a habit for rage. So Logan will last, that is until Warren starts throwing razor tipped wings around and slices something vital that'll take Wolverine a while to heal, in that space of time, he'll probably get the Big Joker up his ass.

Which leaves Gambit and Archangel, seeing that Gambit can charge damn near anything, then no matter the surrounding, he's got ammunition and he can set traps for Archangel, in addition he's a master thief with nasty reflexes and agility. A few exploding projectiles above and around him to drive him lower, then the 52 Card finish. Remy walks away from this one.

Gambit

[Sparta*]

I think Warrens speed, and flight advantage would give him the win

Archangel gets my vote :up:

[Bastila]

Archangel.

[XFanTim]

I think somebody mentioned this, but the fact that Archangel can stay out of range as long as he wants is a big advantage. He can hang out up in the sky while Wolverine and Gambit fight it out, and then swoop down and finish off whichever one is still standing (who will probably be tired and possibly injured).

I'm not surprised Logan's votes are low. Even with adamantium, he's had some pretty even fights with Gambit and Archangel.

[LongDong]

The winged wonder wins this one.

[vindrow]

Well, since Wolvie only has his bone claws, then this fight would go to Archangel.

[Toby_Temple]

Actually, Warren has fantastic vision. The distance sight of an eagle and the night sight of an owl. He also has a homing sense like that of some birds. LIke an owl he could spot Logan skulking in the shadows from a mile up on a dark night.
I stand corrected. But Warren does not have Bullseye's special talent. Gambit is quite agile and can dodge Warren's attacks. Even if Warren can see him from a mile up, that distance is a disadvantage for him if he intends to use projectile attacks. Therefore, Archangel needs to move closer. And that is when Gambit will make his attack. A projectile attack that explodes is alot better than one that doesn't.

[Silicon Surfer]

The wing blades are hurled in volleys that usually cover an area. The advantage of this is that wherever Gambit dodges to the blades are coming down thete too. Warren can still do this from a height that is beyond Gambits throwing range. Warren is also very accurate and is probably not much if any less coordinated than Gambit.

[wiegeabo]

Warren can still do this from a height that is beyond Gambits throwing range. Warren is also very accurate and is probably not much if any less coordinated than Gambit.

True, but in a farther distance is the chance to take notice of the projectiles better coz of the fact that it takes longer time to reach its target compared to a shorter distance. Gambit can easily send a single projectile to explode and shatter Archangel's blades. The explosion can also hide Gambit while he maneuvers and attack.

[Silicon Surfer]

If Warren were launching from a stationary position you would have a good point. But from an person moving with the speed of a fighter jet and a lot more manueverability that approach is pretty much useless. The blades would be coming in with the speed of rifle bullets and would be essentially invisibile. If he were circling they would come from different directions at the same time, possibly even from opposite directions depending on speed and radius of the curve. It would be possible to have attacks coming from multiple directions in less than a second. His wings can move with the speed of hummingbird wings and may be able to launch a volley with every beat. The actual rate of "fire" of his wings has not been mentioned however. Have you seen the program on tv about the Metalstorm guns being developed for the military?

[Toby_Temple]

That is also possible if Gambit has allowed himself to be out in an open space and if Warren came by flying and knows that he is going to fight Gambit. This is a random battle with no prep time. By the time Warren prepares for the fight by going midair, Gambit would already be in stalking mode, so is Wolverine. Wolvering will obviously attack Gambit first. Archangel will do the same to eliminate the only other person capable of long range attack.

As for Gambit, he can deal with Wolvering by waiting for him. Wolvering would not want Archangel to see him while he is busy dealing with Gambit. So those two would fight out of Archangel's sight.

[Vanguard07]

ummmm riiiight. As soon as the fight starts Angel'd be in the air. It wouldnt matter if he knew who he was fighting. It's his schtick. He flies. Gambit could be in "stalking mode" all he wanted. It wouldnt make any difference. The second he let his guard down or got distracted by any little thing like say a twig snapping or a car horn or a short hairy pugnacious mutant with a healing factor and a problem getting along with others, Angel could strike.

He has by far better position, range, speed, mobility and perception. He could watch both Wolverine and Gambit the whole fight waiting for his moment to strike and they wouldnt even know he was up there.
Yes Gambit probably packs more punch with his charged objects than Warren does with his flechettes but it's not like he'd have any advantage trading blows because of it. Gambit would take Warren out with a single shot. Warren would take gambit out with a single shot.
As I said above Warren has by far better range, speed, mobility and perception. He also has just as much combat skill as gambit does. He's one of the original x-men after all. So who do you think is more likely to get that single shot in?
Realistically gambit stands no chance here if the fight is outdoors or in a large enough area for Angel to maneuver.
Same goes for Wolverine. He has no chance against angel either but he does have a decent shot at bringing Gambit down.

Warren'd be bringing the prize home on this one for sure.

[Toby_Temple]

Thats the problem. We can speculate about what the battleground would be. In an open plain where not even a 4 foot bush exists, Warren wins hands down. I thought that it would be logical to make those three fight in lets say a place with ruins of buildings or in a forest to even things out a bit.

So Sparta, where is this battle taking place?

[Sparta*]

Outdoors

[The Leaguer]

Archangel, because Wolverine and Gambit are tools.

The new Spider-man 3 trailer got me excited lol I had to use Venom in this match-up :up: :venom:

[Toby_Temple]

Scarlet Spider. He practically knows Venom's weakness.

[Red X]

That is a terrible Venom picture.

But I'll go with Scarlet Spider.

[Sparta*]

That is a terrible Venom picture.

Really?! I think it's sweet

[Nathan]

Well, Ben did manage to beat him once. But Venom is also one though mofo.

I'm going with Ben.

[XFanTim]

Hmm . . . it could go either way, but I'll give it to the Scarlet Spider. Brains over brawn.

[Sparta*]

The winner of this match-up is the first person to subdue the other...there won't be any sound or fire to allow a cheap win. Let's just say they're fighting in a big empty coliseum.

[Nathan]

Venom then?

Ben did manage to beat him without the use of fire and sound already.

[Colossal Spoons]

Hm, I never knew fire was a weakness for symbiotes.

Well, Symbiotes are just gooey, parasitic, living organisms. Don't see why they would be fire resistend.

[Iceman/Psylocke]

Well yeah, but is fire more of a threat than like electricity? I know sound drives them nuts, but I thought that was it.

Venom

[KevanG]

If theres no way for a cheap easy win (like how it usually happens) then Venom would be the winner.

[Iceman/Psylocke]

Oh come on, why don't more of you give Ben a chance? After all he has a working spider-sense, tranq darts and impact webbing. And not to forget, he already whooped Venom's ass.

spiderman 3!!! looks tightt unlike crappy o superman<~~still gonna see it got a free ticket with superman volume 3 o yeah:supes:

[Genesis 1.0]

Without any of the cheap devices, then I go for Venom. As to Ben beating Venom once, alot of people beat down guys once, doesn't mean they'll have a repeat performance. Hell, Abomination used to pimp slapm the Hulk but on tries 2-2,000,000 he had his ass handed to him. Venom's got everything working in his favor, as to the intelligence, he's outsmarted Spider-Man before. It's not Reed Richard's thinking, it's brutal animalistic cunning.

[Vanguard07]

True. And he didnt even use either of Venom's weaknesses.
Also i disagree with putting this in a big empty collesseum. That gives Venom a clear advantage since it would give Scarlet nothing to swing from and nothing to weaponize or macguyver (and yes macguyver's a verb goddamnit) Which are two major aspects of his character.
You decided to put it in a place where that cant happen just cause you want to eliminate two of Venom's weaknesses which is extremely unfair. It's like if you eliminated two of Scarlet's weaknesses and said that for the duration of this fight he's invulnerable and doesnt need to breathe.

Quit playing favorites.

If I didn't do that, it would have been a landslide for Scarlet Spider...please don't tell me how to run my tourney :up: All I did was put them in an arena where people couldn't use the "Scarlet Spider is smart...he'd find fire or sound to win" Arguement because THAT is unfair. The way I had it was straight up skill vs skill...did you not see the scans that were posted of Scarlet Spider beating Venom without exploiting his two weaknesses? And last time I checked, Venom is hindered by not being able to web swing just as much as Scarlet Spider.

Playing favorites? Did you see who I voted for.......?

17 - 12 is the final tally for Venom. Next match-up in a bit...

[Artistsean]

Didn't Hawkeye use Giant Man's power to be giant during Kree War, I think it was, and called himself Goliath? Also there was a character called Black Goliath who used to be Hank's lab assistant or something, he I think is now called Goliath.

Awesome Android is that giant gray guy with a square head, he now works in She-Hulk's law firm and goes by the name Awesome Andy now.

Oh, and I pick Rogue over Storm.
If it was an all out battle to the death, which I assume these battles are without knowing the cause of the fight, Rogue would drain her of her powers and maybe even her life.
Then again Storm might be able to hit her with lighting before she could do that, but Rogue also has Miss Marvel's powers.

[Sparta*]

Just to clarify, this is Rogue with Ms. Marvel's power :up:

[Vanguard07]

Hmm... Storm.
wait!....
No yeah Storm. the weather can have some really nasty tricks.

Also I didnt mean to offend with my previous comment. I just didnt agree with your reasons for putting them in a big open empty area seeing as how is does significantly favor one of the combatants.
saying it was so they'd fight skill for skill doesnt make much sense. The way you set it up was more power against power when everyone knows that Venom is more powerful.
To me it's like having a fight with Wolverine and saying you didnt want to see the corny "use claws tactic" or punisher but no "cheap using weapons nonsense". Your decision was specifically to give Venom a handicap.
The fact that it was a close match anyway doesnt change your reasons for having done it. The ends dont justify the means.

And just so you know I honestly think you're doing a wonderful job with this thread. It's easilly one of my favorites. I just wanted to share my opinion on that particular match, which, as i understand it is kinda the point.

[Silicon Surfer]

Rogue because of her flight speed and superhuman reflexes.

[Toby_Temple]

Storm. She just have too many array of attacking powers at her disposal, even lightning.

[Ahura Mazda]

Well as I see it as soon as Rogue touches Storm the figt is over so the question is whether she ould be able to. Rogue is not with limitless strength so Storm should be able to summon powerful enough weather to prevent Rogue approaching her and by also destrying her.

[XFanTim]

I give this to Storm. Rogue can only take her out if she can get close to her, whereas Storm can hit her from a distance. I know Rogue has enhanced durability, but it's never seemed to be as much as, say, Colossus. Sooner or later she'll go down to Storm's barrage of lightning bolts, hurricane force winds, etc.

Plus, Storm could always cover the area with fog. If Rogue can't find her, there's no way she can hit or drain her. Whereas Storm could sense Rogue's movements from the air she displaces, and just blast her with lightning all day long.

[Hellstormer]

Rogue

[Harlekin]

Rogue can weather a lot (get it, clever, huh?) so it's why I'm voting for her. She's got a speed and strength advantage which should really help her out. From there on it's a touch and it's over.

[Genesis 1.0]

Spartaaa! Making them explain again why they vote for *character name* ! PLEEEEAAAASSE!!!

I said the EXACT same thing a few pages back. Let the lazy bastards fall to the wayside, it'll increase the intelligence level around here.

In any case, Rogue definitely has the deuce in Durability, Strength, and Speed, but she's limited. Rogue is the epitome of basic, she's a bruiser, it's what she does. She uses her Speed to get to you, beat the crap outta ya and if that fails, she'll drain you, NOT a very creative woman.

On the other hand, Storm has the definite Ace in Power, Versatility, and Agility. She's got the very atmosphere at her command and that can be twisted into so many avenues it's not even funny. In adiditon, both have flight but Storm literally rides the wind, she has and will avoid other flyers, which means if Rouge does get close enough, she'll be avoiding contact.

So the question is, 'Can Rogue get close enough to do the damage?" I say no. Storm can summon a tornado and suck the air from her lungs, she can create hurricane force winds to keep her at bay and then call down a rain of lightning bolts. She can cook up a blizzard and like anything that flies, she'll become much slower, the weight of ice and the elements dragging her down even if she manages to stay in the air. Torrential rain and deep fog are also defensive measures and all this time, all it takes is Rogue making the slightest mistake, she stops for a few seconds too long and she gets cooked with a bolt. In additon, it's quite safe to say that Storm is more intelligent than Rogue has ever been shown to be. Rogue's limited aresenal dosen't add up to Storm who has so many ways of winning this one.

Storm

[theoneandonly]

storm

[LongDong]

I vote Rogue, her speed is much faster than Storm's. I think she gets in close before Storm could summon anything to hit her with, and even if she did it would take getting hit many times for Rogue to feel it. One punch from Rogue and Storm is done.

Rogue wins this fairly quickly.

[vindrow]

Storm.....she has way too many weapons at her disposal...I don't see Rogue getting near Storm in this fight.

[Silicon Surfer]

Rogue has far greater speed and manueverability in the air than Storm who has to have the wind push her around. Rogue can fly faster than the speed of sound and could easily defy any wind that Storm could summon. Lightning might stop her but since Rogue has superhuman reflexes that is improbable. She even on rare occasions manifested Ms. Marvels seventh sense.

[Damascus013]

Remember storm was once chosen by charlie to lead the Xdudes because she can make quick choices and she's a very good strategist and can think on the fly, plus she has mastered all her powers so she pretty much knows what to do when they both get into it which makes it really hard for rogue to land a pretty good hit. And rogue often tends to go for the hit first think later tactic.

So i go with storm on this.

(a note: to get a pretty good idea how they would fight, read the comic books they're in. Imagine and try thinking like the heroes/villains, how they fight and how they use their powers, you'll get a good idea who would win. They won't be just using their most poweful arsenal at once, some think first on how to approach the fight.)

I'm wavering towards Storm here (some nice arguments for both in the posts above) on the basis of battle strategy under pressure but trying to figure out what would constitute a victory against someone with invulnerability.

But no, she is not. Hurricane force winds, if its against her way, would definitely slow her down while a tornado will send her off course. Add a terrible blizzard and hailstorm then she would definitely be at bay then Storm would finish her off with a full force lightning barrage.

Well as I see it as soon as Rogue touches Storm the figt is over so the question is whether she ould be able to. Rogue is not with limitless strength so Storm should be able to summon powerful enough weather to prevent Rogue approaching her and by also destrying her.
Not necessarily, even if Rogue was able to get close enough to touch Storm she wouldn't be able to handle the package that comes with it. Storm has spent years upon years learning how to control her elemental abilites, and if a raw force, like Rogue, acquired such emense power with little to no training over such a powerful force, she might just ware herself out without Ororo having to lift a single finger:o

My vote goes to Storm btw. I mean come on, she kicked Wonder Woman's @ss for crying out loud!:p
