While Vixen can imitate any animal, Timberwolf has numerous superhuman abilities. He's stronger, faster and tougher and would win the battle.


Next Bout:
Captain Marvel (post crisis version who joined JSA) vs Mon El

Aside: I'd have (and I have :p) picked Vixen as I think her greater versatility would help her win. Though if Brin makes the first move I can see it going to him too.

Cap vs. Mon - I think this Captain Marvel was one of those who invented the "magic lightning strike" tactic, and this one also made good use of the "wisdom of Solomon" power. So, Captain Marvel it is.

Next:

Kono vs. Stargirl

Kono for the win. Someone made the good point about the rod/belt affecting gravity powers. While I could see this perhaps also having an affect on Kono's abilities, the fight's over before Stargirl has the faintest idea how to use that.

Aside 1: I like Vixen more than I do Timberwolf, but Brin's powers are off the scale of animal powers. Oh, and now he can shoot his claws too smile

Next Bout:

Bouncing Boy vs Golden Age Batman

Perhaps I'm biased, but I think in a neutral "no insane amount of prep time" fight Chuck could knock Batman on his butt before Bats has a chance to throw more than a couple of batarangs or bat-ropes at Chuck.

Bouncing Boy for the win!

Karate Kid vs. Lady Shiva

Shiva may have lots of Earthly martial arts. But, like the Stranger v Mr M, it's about scope and Karate Kid's knowledge of martial skills from across the galaxy will see him through.

Next Bout:
Spider Girl v Blue Jay

(if it's about scope, I believe the Stranger has a range of powers as broad as, or broader than Mr. M. So, I'd still give it to Stranger wink Besides, Mr. M regularly gets tricked by the much less powerful Superman.)

Though Blue Jay can get pretty small, he can't go as small as the Atom or Shrinking Violet. On the other hand, Spider-Girl's hair can expand into many individual strands to form a rather thick wall around her. Spider Girl for the win.

Next:

Huntress (Helena) vs. Shvaughn Erin

The Huntress cleverly throws a can of profem, distracting Erin completely and then goes in for the win.

Aside: But Mr M's whimiscal view of reality surely trumps The Strnager's grim view of it, as sure as my name is snikhtoht..oh bah! >bamf!<

Echo vs Vibe

Echo used to be an LSV member so I'd imagine he'd be more ruthless smile The present Vibe is supposed to be more powerful though, but I think ruthlessness would win out. I'll give it to Echo.

Ray Terril would be an excellent opponent for Lazon. He can absorb, project and control electromagnetic radiation, and even assume an intangible form of an electromagnetic energy-being himself. He has demonstrated his skill at using his powers, having beaten an couple of evil Rays.

The entity formerly known as Drake Burroughs (TOS) is not exactly an energy-being: he is said to be composed of the ludicrous “anti-energy”. (Not “negative” energy, not “dark” energy, which are concepts in 21st-century physics.) His representation and behavior seem consistent with his being an “anti-matter plasma”, but who knows.

At any rate, Wildfire is composed of something which is not easily affected by electromagnetic radiation, and has also shown the ability to absorb (negate?) ordinary energy. So he would seem a challenging for the Ray.

The way to defeat Wildfire is to destroy his containment suit. However, Drake ought to be able to simply absorb and process any energy-based attack on his suit. Unfortunately, he has shown himself either very vulnerable to the element of surprise, or dumb as a post, as he goes through two or three suits a year. So, one well-aimed laser-blast, and Wildfire is a helpless blob of whatever-he-is-made-of.

I’m calling this one for the Ray.

Next up:
Green Lantern (Guy Gardner) & Warrior (Guy Gardner) –vs.— 5YL Element Lad (Jan Arrah) & the Progenitor (Jan Arrah)

And a well thought out answer that was. I dithered myself on answering that one. I was just getting into some dallying, when you posted. I was with you all the way to the last line, where I thought that the Ray's laser would be absorbed too and Drake would just punch him. I was thinking about Lazon too oddly enough. I should add that's not something I do a lot of.

As for this bout, The Proginator kills everyone. The Gardners (pushing up daisies smile ); 5YG Jan Arrah; The referees; the nice lady in the ticket booth; the parking attendants. Everyone.

Now, as soon as they've sacrificed Lightning Lad, cleared up the debris and hired new staff, the next bout will be...

Calamity King vs Major Disaster!

They should have just left the debris where it was...

Neither Calamity King nor Major Disaster have demonstrated very fine control of their powers.

The ultimate effect of the face-off is similar to the area being struck by a medium-sized meteor.

Nobody wins, least of all the innocent bystanders in the cities surrounding the battle epicenter of the battle.

Black Condor (Ryan Kendall) -vs.- Tellus

So this is the first time I'd ever read that Ryan Kendall had some limited telekinesis and empathic abilities. I'm surprised because he's never demonstrated any in the half dozen issues I've read where he's appeared. Still, based on Googled descriptions of his abilities, Tellus seems far far more adept with both his telepathy and his telekinesis, and Tellus can use his flight ring to fly.

Tellus for the win.

Steel had the gadgets, which makes him formidable. But, Ferro is actual Iron, and he has the ring. So it's a tight fight. But nature over gadgets for me. Ferro.

Amazing Man Vs. Duplicate Lad.

Even someone as dim as Duplicate Boy should be able to remember Superboy's invulnerability then strength/ vision powers for a win.

Big Sir is strong, but no stronger than an olympic-level weightlifter. Even with his energy-armor, Monstress is more than a match for him.

I'd have to go with Wesley. Tenzil succumbs to the sleep gas even as he begins to nibble the end of the gas gun, in a completely non Freudian way.

You know, there should be a Matter Eater Lad/ Aliens crossover, during which Tenzil gets a power up of having a smaller set of jaws that can come out and reach over longer distances. Then he would have a chance! Then he could be a contender!

Next Bout:-
Geo-Force (with a plank to represent his personality although you can have him use his powers) vs Harmonia (with a cup of scalding hot tea. Again, you can have her use her powers too.)

I can't recall that many instances where we've seen Harmonia move earth or rock, so I can't say how she compares to Geo-Force. But, Geo-force has super-strength, durability, gravity powers and lava blasts, which I think juuuust about make him more than a match for Harmonia's control of the four classical elements.

Geo-Force for the win.

Is that a flaming sword you have or are you just happy to be in the arena?

It pains me to go with Zauriel, who is pointlessly overpowered but Dragonmage hasn't a prayer. Zauriel has a direct line there too.

Next Bout:
They both have flight rings!
They both have force fields!
They both spend a lot of time travelling in ..um... time!

Yes! It's ...

Laurel Kent is ruthless, but Tomorrow Woman was (if I remember right) an extremely powerful telekinetic and telepath. An I think the telekinesis alone would allow her to disable Laurel somehow.

Hmm Jo is quite good but he tends to lead with his chin. I think ultra speed and flash vision would take her out but he'd be more likely to try and alternate between strength and invulnerability, in which case I think Barda is a way more skilled warrior. I give this one to Barda.

Vixen walks all over original recipe Light Lass...3boot Light Lass might stand more of a chance because she was more aggressive with her powers but I still think Vixen would be too fast & cunning for her so I'm giving it to Vixen.
