Previous Post Before Marvel does Avengers vs. X-Men, let’s see what the Battleboard says on the matter. Here are the rules. I’ve matched up 32 Avengers against 32 X-Men. (Beast went to the Avengers while Storm and Wolverine went to the X-Men.) All characters are in their current forms in the comics. That means Angel is no longer Archangel, Rogue no longer has Ms. Marvel or Sunfire powers, Colossus has Juggernaut’s powers, Nightcrawler is the Age of Apocalypse version, and the Vision is back to the original version, not “teen” Vision. The fights take place in an evacuated New York City. Combatants start off 20 yards apart. No battlefield removal allowed. Fight ends when one opponent is unconscious or immobilized in a way from which the character cannot escape. 4 characters from each team make 1 group. Tell me who wins the 4 individual match-ups in each group and then tell me who’s left standing as the winners of the individual match-ups fight one another in their group. This is round 1. The winners from round 1 will meet in a round 2 thread tomorrow (or maybe the day after depending on how many votes come in) and so on until only one team is left standing. Group 1: Captain America vs. Cyclops Agent 13 (Sharon Carter) vs. Longshot Falcon vs. Angel Tigra vs. Wolfsbane Group 2: Dr. Strange vs. Magneto Valkyrie vs. Rogue Hawkeye vs. Gambit Mockingbird vs. Shadowcat Group 3: Hulk vs. Colossus (with Juggernaut powers) Captain Britain vs. Iceman Spider-Woman vs. Armor Beast vs. Nightcrawler (Age of Apocalypse) Group 4: Iron Man vs. Sub-Mariner Prince of Orphans vs. Jamie Madrox Iron Fist vs. Wolverine Moon Knight vs. Shatterstar Group 5: Luke Cage vs. Warpath Jessica Jones vs. Frenzy Daredevil vs. Psylocke Black Widow vs. Domino Group 6: Ms. Marvel vs. Marvel Girl (Rachel Grey) Vision vs. Emma Frost Protector vs. Fantomex Quake vs. Rictor Group 7: Red Hulk vs. Hope Summers War Machine vs. Havok She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters) vs. Polaris Spider-Man vs. Cable Group 8: Thor vs. Danger Thing vs. Storm Giant Man (Henry Pym) vs. Strong Guy Shang Chi vs. Deadpool

fun stuff. here we go:

Group 1:
Captain America vs. Cyclops - Cap
Agent 13 (Sharon Carter) vs. Longshot - Longshot
Falcon vs. Angel - Falcon
Tigra vs. Wolfsbane - Tigra

you'd think that Cap, Falcon and Tigra would make mincemeat of Longshot here, but i'll call Longshot's luck powers causeing Falcon and Tigra to 'accidently' take each other out. so Cap is the last man standing after finally catching Longshot.


Group 2:
Dr. Strange vs. Magneto - Mags eventually
Valkyrie vs. Rogue - Valkyrie - i really like her recent characterization. best Valkyrie ever.
Hawkeye vs. Gambit - Gambit
Mockingbird vs. Shadowcat - Mockingbird

both Mags and Gambit are left standing at the end. Mockingbird and Gambit might be equal HTH, but Mags finishes Valk quick and then finishes the 'Bird.


Group 3:
Hulk vs. Colossus (with Juggernaut powers) - take each other out. no picking between these two yet.
Captain Britain vs. Iceman - Captain Britain
Spider-Woman vs. Armor - Spider-Woman - Jessica with some smart fighting
Beast vs. Nightcrawler (Age of Apocalypse) - Beast

Cap Britain, Spider-Woman and Beast all left standing


Group 4:
Iron Man vs. Sub-Mariner - i think current Iron Man finds the wins 5.5/10.
Prince of Orphans vs. Jamie Madrox - Prince of Orphans
Iron Fist vs. Wolverine - Wolverine
Moon Knight vs. Shatterstar - Moon Knight

Iron Man, Prince of Orphans and Moon KNight pile up on Wolvey, but he'll take out Moon Knight and the Prince before falling to Iron Man.


Group 5:
Luke Cage vs. Warpath - Warpath
Jessica Jones vs. Frenzy - Frenzy
Daredevil vs. Psylocke - Daredevil
Black Widow vs. Domino - Black Widow

nice match-ups here. but i gotta go with the X-dudes here. i think both Warpath and Frenzy are still standing when this is all done.


Group 6:
Ms. Marvel vs. Marvel Girl (Rachel Grey) - Ms Marvel w/ wits.
Vision vs. Emma Frost - Vision
Protector vs. Fantomex - Protector
Quake vs. Rictor - Quake on fighting skills.

all four Avengers still standing


Group 7:
Red Hulk vs. Hope Summers - Hope 5.5/10
War Machine vs. Havok - War Machine
She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters) vs. Polaris - She-Hulk
Spider-Man vs. Cable - Spider-Man eventually

i think Hope is so worn out from her first fight that she goes down next leaving War Machine, She-Hulk and SPidey standing


Group 8:
Thor vs. Danger - Thor
Thing vs. Storm - Thing
Giant Man (Henry Pym) vs. Strong Guy - Strong Guy
Shang Chi vs. Deadpool - Deadpool eventually because i think he recovers incredibly fast from the worst Shang can do and eventually he lands a good one.

Strong Guy and Deadpool don't stand a chance here. and two more Avengers left standing.

Avengers left (14): Captain America, Cap Britain, Spider-Woman, Beast, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, Vision, Protector, Quake, War Machine, She-Hulk, Spidey, Thor and Thing

X-Men left (4): Magneto, Gambit, Warpath, Frenzy
