Location:

BADLANDS

This mystic realm was fashioned by the Demon-Bear as an idealized version of the American southwest.

(This location was not originally intended for Week 6. It was suppose to be The Cage; but, I discovered little can be found about the location, other than it took away all superpowers when running. So, I didn't think it fair to take away everyone's powers. As I don't have any matches this week, I came up with the first substitute location that I came to. Location was changed, and just figure you are out in the American Southwest, idealized version. No inhabitants, except the normal animals and bugs that you'd expect to find. If your character can find out any more information on this area that may be of help, then it's fair game.)

Enchantress Vs Rockslide

Ok so ass didn't work for darth and man ****ing didn't quite cut it for harlekin but...what if the two were combined in the form of ASS-****ING.

So the enchantress is fundamentally a big old **** and usually uses sex to get whatever she wants. Combine that with the fact that she is quoted as being "in the top twenty sorcerors in asgard" and has used her sorcerous powers to entrap even the most righteous of men in the past and I think you can guess where this is going...

Rockslide is a teenager used to fighting as part of a team, going out on his own against a godess. She has all the usual Asgardian upgrades meaning he will be able to do little damage to her. Whereas, he has raging hormones and the desire to hump anything with a pulse. She has seduced pretty much anyone with the ability to cast magic (usually evil sorcerors) in the past meaning she has a vast arsenal of magical weaponry at her disposal. (teleportation, illusions, interdimensional portals, forcefields, etc... )

In terms of killing rockslide she has in the past shown two abilities that would be put to good use here:

1. She can use her magic to form rudimentary magical power-bolts. These bolts have a maximum concussive effect of approximately 20 pounds of TNT (Remember that rockslide has to phyically walk/crawl over and reattach parts that been seperated from his body. So blowing him to pieces without his team mates around to help would take him out of the fight).

2. We all know that he, a horny teenager, won't be able to resist a walking fantasy like enchantress. One kiss and he is a complete slave to her will. She could order him to dissasemble himself and the fight would be over. Yes she has to get him to kiss her, but, with the various enchantment's she has picked up over the years she can make a guy powerless to resist that kiss the second he gets within a hundred yrds of her. To top it off you're talking about a woman who has slept with pretty much every notable villain in the marvel universe and has been alive for hundreds of years. Even without all of her enchantments she'd eat him alive. It's like the mrs robinson effect on steroids.

Besides, what's he gonna do? Fire rocks she can just swat aside at her till there's nothing left of his body? Take her on at close quarters thus walking straight into her trap? There is no way he could ever win this one. He's gonna go out in an incredibly pleasent way, but he's still going to be yet another new x-man buried after a fight.

In recent times theres a minimum of one one buried per issue and this time it's santos

WINNER: ENCHANTRESS!

Match 12:[/SIZE]

The Master (MIDNIGHT ICE) bio



vs.

Annihilus (AHURA MAZDA) bio

First of all lets take a look at this match up. On one side we have a villain which poses a threat to the whole universe and on the other a villain who poses a threat to .....Canada.

On a physical level, Annihlus is significantly stronger and faster. Plus Annihlus is not human and therefore the Master's knowledge of human weaknesses cannot factor in here.

Weapon wise, Annihlus has access to the most advanced technology including powerful lasers plus one weapon which is very powerful, a cosmic rod, allowing him to re-arrange matter at a molecular level and shoot concussive blasts.

With regard to prep time, Annihlus does have access to a large database of information which is likely to include knowledge of the Master. He will therefore know the Master's powers and that his non-physical powers depend on his suit. Annihlus will prepare himself by learning the knowledge and then obtaining all the gadgetry he needs including laser weaponry, a force field and his cosmic rod, which to avoid the loss of, he attaches to himself.

As soon as Annihlus arrives into the desert climate, he starts using the cosmic rod to change the atmosphere to a gas which while lethal to humans poses no threat to him. Even the small plants and insects all whither and die. The change in atmospheric conditions will start affecting the whole battle field. The Master should not be able to survive this and would be required to attack Annihlus. As soon as line of sight is established, Annihlus will start re-arranging the costume of the Master including his helmet. Without it the Master will eventually succomb to the no-oxygen atmosphere. Of he course, he may just shoot him instead and end it more quicly but Annihlus is not known for his kindness.

Oh before I forget, Annihlus would be doing this 1 km above ground where the Master could not reach him.

BRACKET 6,

Match 11:

Rhino (WOLVERINE25TH) bio



vs.

Thunderstrike (AHURA MAZDA) bio

What do we have here. This is a battle between Thunderstrike, a Thor like hero, and Rhino, a stupid strong character (Rhino is a spidey villain and not a Hulk villain).

Strength wise they should be similar, with thunderstrike having a bit more power, as Rhino is in the class 60 range and Thunderstrike in the class 80 range. I would be willing to state that they have the same strength because it is not clear what the Leader did to him.

Speed wise I would put forward that they are equal as well. Invulnerability would be similar as well.

The main trump cards are Rhino's stupidity and Thunderstrike's mace which is like mjollnir albeit a bit weaker.

Both characters would know about each other but given this is the Rhino that information will avail him naught.

This battle will happen with both characters facing off against each other. thunderstrike will use his mace to blast the Rhino and as he is off gaurd and hurt will attack him physically using the fighting skills he learnned from Cap. Every strike of the Mace would hurt the rhino knocking him about and would eventually overcome him, knocking him out.

 

[Phaedrus45]

Wow...Annihilus vs. The Master....These are two of my favored characters for the tournament, and one won't make it past the first round.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Penance Vs Sleepwalker

Okay, so this is a toughy. Sleepwalker has more advantage in this match... but here's at least an attempt. Neither character would know a thing about the other, and the location does nothing for either. That said, let's get down to it.

Sleepwalker's abilities are kinda like a dream thing, where he can use his glowing eyes to distort physical matter and reshape it... such as making sidewalks a hand to grab someone, or turn dust into a truck or something. He also has extra strength and can fly.

Penance has razor sharp skin that is diamond hard. She is fairly savage, though she does have coherant thought and can deduct wisdom when needed. She is also mostly psi-proof, though enough prodding can get you some info, usually it isn't pleasant and kinda backfires. The more angry or afraid that she gets, the stronger and sharper her skin becomes, and the more calm and happy she gets, the softer her skin gets... though this is a very gradual process and has nothing going for it in this match.

So the advantage is Sleepwalker's, powerwise. Here's my thinking. Penance can take a hit very well, she can take a pounding. If Sleepwalker tries to attack her personally, then it will hurt him more than her, and she will probably leave him with some deeply bleeding wounds. I don't know if Sleepwalker attacks physically often, so I won't assume that he does. That comes down to his warp stare.

This is the part that makes it tough for Penance. I think that she will be trapped in it a time or two, seeing it work, and eventually puting it together. She will be grabbed by ground, or somehow attacked, but she can break through it, cut through it, what have you, and she will learn. She will see that Sleepwalker needs to look at what he's effecting, and she will attempt to rectify that. She will first attempt to stay out of his line of sight (something that she's done often) to dodge the things he's warping. Then when he gets the chance (somehow) she will get close enough and rake at his eyes, blinding him. With his warp vision gone, it comes to a physical confrontation, and few beat Penance in a one on one physical fight. It comes down to razor sharp damond skin, versus physical strength, and I think Penance will outlast Sleepwalker fairly easily before Sleepwalker is lying in a pool of blood.

Winner - Penance

WINNER:Rockslide

but the point is not to HUMP rockslide, the first kiss results in complete removal of free will. He is her slave to command as she wishes so she could simply tell him to surrender or to fire off all his body parts till there's only his head left. With no-one to pick up the pieces he'd be out of luck. I agree it's a bad draw but rockslide's a team-player. With the other new x-men maybe he'd stand a chance but one on one the enchantress is gonna spank his ass every time!

WINNER:ENCHANTRESS!

The Master (MIDNIGHT ICE) bio



vs.

Annihilus (AHURA MAZDA) bio



Ok, The Master is diefinitly not that much of a pushover. In fact, I wouldn't consider him a pushover at all. Lets take some facts into account:

1. He has genius level intellect, so he could easily find a way to get some info on Annihlus if he did not already know of him.
2. He is practically immortal, being over 40,000 years old.
3. Has enhanced agility and speed. He was fast enough to slice Warbird with a sword, not an easy feat.
4. Can sustain peak physical exertion for several hours without getting tired.
5. Enhanced strength. (Was able to break Sasquatch's arm with hands.)
6. Great hand to hand fighter and knows all pressure points. This along with his enhanced strength allowed him to take NAMOR out with A SINGLE PUNCH!!!(Agian, NOT and easy feat.)
7. He can also teleport and fly, so Annihilus being in the air would not be a problem.

Besides all of that he has his own personal force field, can shoot blasts, casts illusions and control nearby technology just by thinking of it. The cosmic control rod is made up of alien technology. The Master can control nearby technology just by using his thoughts. He actually first used his powers to take over the alien space ship he was being held captive in. So because of this, there is definitly a chance that The Master would be able to get control of the cosmic control rod if that is what Annihlus is forced to use to try to win, which is what Annihlus would have to do to even hope to win this fight.

Winner: The Master

The Cosmic rod is not made up of the 616 universe materials but from technology from the negative zone. Therefore it is unlikely he could take over the cosmic rod. Plus he would first have to find Annihlus whereas Annihlus would start changing the atmosphere at the outset and once he sees him his helmet would start changing. Without the helmet the Master cannot cast illusions and control nearby technology. His costume would be next which would take away his ability to fly.

I agree he a great hand to hand fighter but Annihlus is from a the negative zone and his pressure points are completely non human not to mention he has an exo skeleton.

At the end of the day, the Master still needs to breathe and if there is no more oxygen he will not be able to breathe.

By the way none of the Master's blasts could penetrate the force field

Rebuttal

I don't have too much more to add other than that The Master has his own personal forcefield also. Since The Master first controled an alien technology, it is plausible to think he may be able to control the Cosmic Control Rod.

Also, since the Master is a genius, he would figure out a way to win. If changing the atmosphere and air was so simple for Annihlus, why isn't the Fantastic Four or The Avengers dead?

If all else fails, The Master would just take out a can of Bug Spray and to to town on Annihlus.t:

Winner: The Master

The master was taught how to control that particular alien technology. that talent was not innate within himself. Annihlus' tech comes from the negative universe which is a whole another dimension where the same laws of physics do not hold. Therefore it is unliklely that the Master could take hold of Annihlus' tech let alone the cosmic rod.

Also, since the Master is a genius, he would figure out a way to win. If changing the atmosphere and air was so simple for Annihlus, why isn't the Fantastic Four or The Avengers dead?

That has not been always the case or he would be ruling the world instead of just being a democratically elected prime minister of Canada (no offfense to Canadians). And the FF4 and Avengers are not dead because ....well.. Annihlus did not want to kill them. He has even used them for his own ends.

And Annihlus did not previously use that strategy because he did not feel he needed to do so but given he has an invasion to organise this time he wants to shorten the match.

If all else fails, The Master would just take out a can of Bug Spray and to to town on Annihlus.t:

Hmmm interesting strategy Annihlus would adapt past that


Just like to note that Annihlus was able to defeat Quasar and therefore he should easily dispose of the Master.


Winner - Annihlus (worthy of his own mini)

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

PENANCE vs. SLEEPWALKER

Penance is a savage physical fighter, but Sleepy has the advantage in distance attacks. Neither character would know a thing about the other, which means the first few minutes would be experimentation in attacking. Once Sleepy discovers her near-invulnerability and she discovers his mortality, all bets are off. Sleepy would take to the skies out of her reach and use his warp stare on the environment around her. He doesn't need to hurt her, just detain her indefinitely. Despite her ability to cut through things, she is not super strong. Being encased in a rocky prison with no leverage to move will hold her and the fight will be over.

WINNER: SLEEPWALKER

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

RHINO vs. THUNDERSTRIKE

Despite his lack of training, Rhino has gone up against some tough odds before and managed to come out relatively unscathed thanks to his durable hide. Also, with his strength, nearby objects add to his arsenal to give him distance attacks against Strike. What it ultimately comes down to is a battle of wills. Who will cave first? They will match each other blow for blow, and it's a good idea to remember that Strike ISN'T Thor. At the end of it, Rhino will play dirty and cheat his way into taking Strike down and taking him out.

WINNER: RHINO

First of all, Rhino is a complete idiot. Following his mini, he is even more stupid then before.

The 2 are relatively evenly matched without the hammer but with the hammer it is a whole another story.

If Thunderstrike was Thor, this would not even be a match up, but as Thor-lite he can do what is necessary to take Rhino down without too much difficulty.

There is nothing rhino could do to avoid being blasted and blown away.

Plus if it came down to it, you would probably see thunderstrike blasting him, Rhino charging, Thunderstrike dodging and hitting him once he gets past with Rhino going into a cliff face.

Rhino would be mace fodder in this match.

Winner - Thunderstrike

[Phaedrus45]

*Sleepwalker

*The Master - (The Master would have total knowledge of Annihilus, and I highly doubt Annihilus could find anything in the Negative Zone about The Master. Plus, with Master's genius, he'd definitely find a way to combat the bug.)

*Thunderstrike

*Enchantress - (The second easiest match of the week. Poor Rockslide.)
