Contest of Marvels II Thread 4

[hippy fascist]

Magneto (over-powered and no debate against it )
Rogue (and you didn't even have to reel out the the "she goes into battle completely naked" argument )
Domina (Too powerful and I trust uncanny x-men bios over wiki)
Kurse (Was nearly swayed by ky's debate but in the end kurse is one of the most powerful characters in the marvel universe )

 

[Phaedrus45]

Rogue (and you didn't even have to reel out the the "she goes into battle completely naked" argument )

I'm saving that debate for next round versus Magneto.

Magneto
Rogue (although she might get hurt if he can hit her with a couple of focused attacks)
Proctor (He has access to all his powers simultaneously, she doesn't)
Kurse (almost went the other way, but too many variables)

 

[Hellstormer]

Kurse (Damn Ahura you and your Asgardians, Kurse vs. Fenris will be cool )

Magneto (Mismatch with no debate 'nuff said)

Rouge (Sorry but as good as SC is Rouge can just fly up and burn his ass)

Proctor (This was a hard one)

 

[JewishHobbit]

Magneto
Rogue
Domina (The skill that Domina uses her powers is enough she doesn't need to use them simoultaneously)
Kurse

 

[Zoken]

Magneto
Shang-Chi (I'm going to give him this pity vote because he's cool enough)

[Darren Daring]

Domina
Kurse

Magneto - I actually could see a way fopr Quake to win given the environment but given the absence of debates

Rogue - Unfortunatley a non-match

Proctor - I am really hesitant here but it all relies on Domina's ability to use her sperhuman supressing powers. I do not know the character well enough to know whether it is limited to mutants or not but given I have my doubts I am going with Proctor, sorry JH

Kurse - Kind of obvious why I am voting this way here

[Iceman]

Magneto - easy
Rogue - easy
Domina - I was hoping for no difficult decisions this week as I have less time to think than usual. This pains me to do this as the key issue of whether Domina's powers affect all superhumans seems to be different in the profiles so I'm going to have to with the UncannyX-Men.net's verdict. Shame on whichever profile is wrong
Kurse - easy

Final Results:

Magneto beat Quake 14-1
Rogue beat Shang Chi 13-2
Domina beat Proctor 8-7
Kurse beat Vertigo 14-1

Great debate Ky....you made what should have been a walk over into a tough match even if the votes did not reflect this.

Domina will be next on the path to destruction from Kurse .

 

[JewishHobbit]

Kurse is Cursed to die!!!


And Good match W... I will now admit that I was scared to death going against you and Proctor. You always have a knack for making him as good as he really is (something I think few people realize) and I was worried that I wouldn't pull it off. I had no idea how the votes were going to go. Awsome match!

 

[wiegeabo]

Darn you JH! Darn you to Heck!!!

I knew this was going to be a tough one, but thought I could pull it off. We took it down to the wire. But you've got the mad X-Men skills.

I know I could have beaten Kurse, so you better not lose that fight. (Although I may have to vote against you out of sheer petty spite )

Yeah, good debate by you as well. I didn't really think I had any chance really at winning, but it was a really fun debate nonetheless. And I see we are meeting again this week as well. Don't worry, I'll get you back by beating you with Hercules. t:

Location: Battleworld (Beyond's Secret War Planet)

Battle World is an assemblage of various planets that have been pieced together. It has a wide variety of terrain and wildlife, as well as several sentient races that call it home.

Also from wiki:

Battleworld was an artificial planet created by the extradimensional Beyonder for his contest of good and evil in the Marvel Comics Secret Wars crossover. Merged together from dozens of fragments taken from as many planets (including Denver, Colorado from Earth), Battleworld was designed to provide an unfamiliar environment which nevertheless allowed all contestants to use their powers to the fullest.

BRACKET 8,

Match 17:

Lizard (HARLEKIN) bio



vs.

Ch'od (HELLSTORMER) bio

Harlekin I'm sorry but this is a battle you will not win. Now I'm assuming Ch'od can have his weapons, he'll probaly bring a pistol and some kind of blade weapon. Now he outweighs the Lizard in strength easily, he can do 20 tons. As sson as he gets into the rink he'll scan the area like the tactician he is and find where he can get the advantage, because he has both lungs and gills some kind of ocean or water mass will be his choice. He'll fight the Lizard head on trying to draw him into the watery depths and when he gets close enough he'll grab onto his head and divabomb with his into the water. Ch'od is made to go to extremem depths because of his tough hide and superstrength, the Lizard on the other hand is not. When they get to a certain point Liz will either pass out and become the prof. and die or he'll fight, run out of oxygen, and die. either way the Lizard is screwed.

Winner=Ch'od

OPENING COMMENTS: Armada vs Mondo (AoA)

I'm not quite sure why this version of Mondo is from the AoA, since I've found no apparent change between the two versions. Now, I doubt any of you will be really familiar with Armada, and only X-Fans to be familiar with Mondo, so I'm putting down the powers of both for easyness' sake:

Armada employs a number of robots that emit from his back similar to a fleet of armed ships (the definition of Armada!)...His "pets" are equipped to do various things such as pick locks and fire blasts. He has the ability to fly, emit blasts from his palms, and has use of super strength through his armor that can re-charge itself. Lastly, Armada is a gifted inventor and considered the finest corporate thief there is.

absorb organic or inorganic matter into his body and assimilate its mass and properties into his own molecular structure until the object is later divested completely from his system

So here we have it. Two relatively obscure characters that will be unable to fully use prep-time to their advantage, simply because neither will know anything about the other guy, or be able to look up anything about the other guy. This means it comes down to battle, and purely the battle. It's a battle that I think would be tough, but one that Armada should be able to win about 60% of the time.

It really comes down to the location, and that would seem to be in the advantage of Mondo. Au contraire, the advantage is squarely with Armada. Although Mondo has a variety of materials to use for his powers, Armada will have a wealth of technology that he can incorporate into his robots. It's a literal dream come true for a guy like him, and he'll have no trouble exploiting that. Heck, he could probably pull something off that would allow Armada to use Mondo's powers against him.

Also, we must not forget that Armada has strength in the same region as Spider-Man. Mondo is going to have to find some very durable stuff to protect himself from that kind of strength. Armada also has an added benefit in being able to fly.

WINNER=ARMADA
