Superhero Team Battle Royale, Round 1

When voting, please vote for each contest. You are not limited to 1 vote. You are voting for the winner of EVERY fight in round one.

Initial rankings are determined by top selling issue of 2007.

The rosters are based on the current issues.

You can vote based on who you think would really win. Which team is your favorite. It's up to you.

Want to know why your team wasn't included? Most entries were determined by if the series is currently running, if it's a top 50 seller, and while most entries were Marvel, I tried to include some popular DC and Indy titles to give it some variety, so apologies if your fave underdog Marvel title was left off.

I left Young Avengers off because it's not a continuing series right now. I left The Order off in favor of Dynamo 5 because it's not a good seller and I wanted more indies, not more Avengers Iniative titles if I were to include some underdogs. Runaways I don't have an excuse.
