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 4:

Iron Fist vs. Wolverine
Moon Knight vs. Shatterstar
Group 5:

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
