That's a shame that your browser packed in Emily. For the larger posts I use MS word and then cut and paste, after it happened a couple of times. It's very frustrating.

Yes, same experience for me. It's so frustrating when you have a long, well thought out post and it vanishes... sorry, Emily. i'm sure your descriptions were great.

... long, well thought out post and it vanishes.... Well, at least I haven't had that burden.  Yeah, when we were talking about Superman class characters, I was wondering how many Marvel characters would make it through. Mister Fantastic drew a particular toughie as did Thor. But it's a good showing... but for how long?

Hellcat beat Lobo, so that's something. (Or not, considering how unpopular I imagine Lobo is here...)

I wonder how she did that? Lobo trapped in Patsy Walker comics from decades ago would be great though, as he's put firmly in his place.

Mister Fantastic drew a particular toughie as did Thor. But it's a good showing... but for how long? I think it will get interesting once it gets narrowed down. If one side or the other is uneven, I will probably add more X-Men and Titans to keep repeating powersets to a minimum. It is interesting to note that most of the New Gods survived, but most of the Eternals did not (Genis-vel is half Eternal).

I am experiencing some technical difficulties, so I will pause this game until it resumes.

So, apparently we have extra DC characters, about seven. Next round I will definitely need to add a few Marvel characters in to keep this game balanced.
These get a by week until I figure out what to do: Phantom Stranger, Shazam, Faith, Green Arrow, Dr. Fate, Big Barda, and Tasmanian Devil.
Kyle Rayner vs. Justice
Flash (Barry) vs. Wonder Man
Atom (Palmer) vs. Wolverine
Rogue vs. Firehawk
War Machine vs. Gypsy
Quasar vs. Mary Marvel
Hal Jordan vs. Yellow Jackey (Pym)
John Stewart vs. Genis-vel
Zatanna vs. Invisible Woman
Superman vs. Black Panther
Hellcat vs. Batman
Beast vs. Cyborg
Power Girl vs. Monica Rambeau
Wonder Woman vs. Adamantium Man
Hawkeye vs. Booster Gold
Manitou Raven vs. Hercules
Plastic Man vs. Hulk
Mr. Miracle vs. Iron Man
Aztek vs. She-Hulk
Steel vs. Black Widow
Elongated Man vs. Ms.Marvel
Black Lightning vs. Firestar

C'mon, Scott Free can escape from ANYTHING and has a Mother Box. You think he can't open a tin can from the comparative dark ages?

I was thinking that Mr Stark would catch him in a wide area burst. Scott got electrocuted by Rocket Red, so he couldn't open a tin can from the Soviets!

Thank you for joining the game. I will keep voting open until 9:00 P.M US Central Time, then I will count the votes. There may be a day or two in between rounds because I am going to fill in blank Marvel spaces with X-Men characters.

Here is the results! The bold ones are the winners. A fair warning that I expect to edit this post so I can access how many leftover DC characters we have left. I may also embellish the results with match synopsis. If you have a synopsis in your head, please share it and I will include it in this post.
Round 2
Kyle Rayner vs. Justice
Kyle Rayner's experience with telepathy in the Justice League allows him to fight off Justice long enough to create a trippy prison with his ring. Art School paid off big time for this hero.
Flash (Barry) vs. Wonder Man
Wonder Man spends too much time pandering to the audience that he loses site that this is a real fight. Flash(Barry) literally has time in his hands and runs circles around him. Once Wonder Man realizes how tough his opponent is, he tries his best to fight, but it is hard to punch something one barely sees. The lack of speedsters in Marvel gives the Flash(Barry) another huge advantage over his opponent, as his power-level would put him close to Eternal level.
Atom (Palmer) vs. Wolverine
The various fights with and against the Avengers give Wolverine a good idea of what he is dealing with. It is hard for Atom(Palmer) to hide as Wolverine's keen senses prevent him being surprised. The ear-drum trick doesn't work in this case because Wolverine forces him to one-on-one combat in his normal form. Wolverine's training and powers are more than a match for Justice League training if one is relatively powerless.
Rogue vs. Firehawk
War Machine vs. Gypsy
Quasar vs. Mary Marvel
Hal Jordan vs. Yellow Jackey (Pym)
John Stewart vs. Genis-vel --I want to note that Genis-Vel once destroyed the Universe. I'm unsure it was a Cosmic cube episode.
Zatanna vs. Invisible Woman
Superman vs. Black Panther
Hellcat vs. Batman
Beast vs. Cyborg- TIE, Both Remain in Game
Power Girl vs. Monica Rambeau
Wonder Woman vs. Adamantium Man
Hawkeye vs. Booster Gold
Manitou Raven vs. Hercules
Plastic Man vs. Hulk
Mr. Miracle vs. Iron Man
Aztek vs. She-Hulk- Aztek was not selling any moves, which made She-Hulk extremely angry. She was so angry that she decided to kick him around a lot. After the match, she apologized to the fans for the poor performance. I picture this as our version of the Inoki vs. Great Antonio march. Go and watch it if you are unaware of it, it is a crazy stomp match.
Steel vs. Black Widow- TIE, Both Remain in Game
Elongated Man vs. Ms.Marvel
Black Lightning vs. Firestar
Red Tornado vs. Spider-Man- Match Synopsis by Quislet Esq. Reddy to win. He can attack Spiderman from a distance, remaining out of reach of Spidey's strength and webshooters. Spiderman would not be able to stand up to the tornado winds Red Tornado can generate.
Blue Beetle vs. Captain America
Dr.Light II vs. Captain Mar-vel
Firestorm vs. Namor --I thought this would be close due to Namor's fights with Human Torches (yes I meant plural)
Martian Manhunter vs. Scarlet Witch
Our Extra DC Seven
Phantom Stranger, Shazam, Faith, Green Arrow, Dr. Fate, Big Barda, and Tasmanian Devil
My count is 15 Marvel and 27 DC characters remaining. I will be adding an additional 12 Marvel characters to keep the game balanced for now. If you have any other ideas (such as tag team matches) to keep the game moving, please let me know.
