Although S-girl would attempt to call her little squirrely friends I'm sure Wolf has all entrances blocked with non-gnawable seals. This was one of Dooms problems in his defeat ("confound these wretched rodents!")
Werewolves possess super human strength - can't imagine Squirrel girl would be stronger, even if she's a mutant. She has Teeth for chewing- Wolf has fangs for ripping. She has claws and those knuckle spikes, Wolf has some pretty good sized claws of his own, plus he's a cyber Wolf and has, in many places, an under-lining of metal for protection. He might get slashed a bit, but nothing vital pierced.
Only sure way to bring a werewolf down is the silver bullet deal and Squirrel girl doesn't favor guns. So it sort of comes down to who is the most vicious. Yes I do believe he just waits for her to lite somewhere,and rips her smiling little head off. Wolf avenges Doom.
:D
Though I hated the actual vote the reasoning is outstandingCyberwolf looks like the easy victor here, but looks are oft deceiving.
Squirrel Girl has many powers, most importantly hazelnut flavoured lips. The lip flavouring has little bearing on this match, it's just very important.
Squirrel Girl can out maneuver (I hate spelling that word and I feel firefox dictionary has once again let me down) Cyberwolf using her jumping and other squirrel like abilities. She has enhanced strength and other attributes, but I reckon Cyber may have her in the strength department. His claws look more formidable than hers but she can still deliver a sting.
If she called upon the squirrels I think Cyberwolf would just eat them.
But Squirrel Girl wins. Why, when it seems all is stacked up against her? Well, tournie tricksters, let me tell you.
It is well known that a werewolf's strengths and skills are of a natural sort, which is why metals such as silver can prove so fatal to their general workings. By cybering himself up Cyberwolf may have increased certain skills and gained some amounts of armour, but he has ultimately interrupted the natural skills that make him a deadly predator. Think of Wolverine when he had the adamantium stripped from him... they discovered it was holding back his natural abilities for so long, and the effect would be even worse with a werewolf such as Cyberwolf. So I think in this regard we shouldn't heap too much praise on Cyber's skills. If it was animal on animal I'd have given squirrelzy less chance, but in his diminished capacity I think wolfie is but another Doom waiting to happen.
The second point not yet mentioned is the Lesser Spotted Greater Latverian Sabre Squirrel, a prehistoric ancestor of the modern squirrel, who often stands (on it's hind feet) up to 5foot tall. They're dark of colour with developed claws, large serrated teeth and a jaw strength that can crack skulls. While off-shoots became smaller and adapted to tree-living and nut munching in order to survive attacks from predators, the LSGLSS grew larger, stronger and faster and is now quite happy leaping from a log and taking out a lone wolf that has strayed away from the pack.
Squirrel Girl will summon the LSGLSS to deal major damage to Cyberwolf while the more regular squirrels distract and confuse Wolfie. Squirrel girl will ultimately dash his brains out with her knuckle spikes and super squirrel strength.
If for some bizarre reason Cyberwolf survives.... Squirrel will just hide high, wait for him to change into a more human form and then give him the thrashing of his life.
+1 Squirrel Girl!

Squirrel girl has good press. Thats all.
She's never really defeated anyone, it was a doom bot, I was in a different country and someone else was in my armour and I was sick and distracted andyway.
Yeah, we going by the book where he is humanDamn, I'l love to say John but it seems that Rick has superior strength, agility and intelligence. He also doesn't have the key weakness of other replicants. This guy theoretically could do away with John before McClane even realised there was something wrong. So unfortunately, I give this to......wait a minute.....this is the human tournament, so I assume that we're ignoring Ridley Scott's multiple claims that Rick is a replicant? If so then Rick against John, human -v- human, John McClane wins. If he can take down groups of terrorists packing a lot of heat then he can take down Rick. John McClane FTW.
Nice use of the environmentMcClane highjacks one of the staff vehicles, releases a variety of large animals and the chases them into a stampede that crushes Deckard.

Your reasoning is longer than my intro for the fight.Marv is strong and tough, he'll go through hell just to kill the devil. He's a strong fighter and rarely loses a fight.
but...
... I'm Batman.
Batman in a strange city? He'll be clinging to the shadows and rooftops like a ghost. Sure he'll bust in on some low lifes for info, but he'll disappear back into the night. The dark knight. See what I did there. Yeah.
So when they eventually meet it'll be on Batman's terms. Why so? Well Marv isn't exactly subtle in his information gathering ways. Batman may not be at home in the city, but he's a smart operator and has been around long enough to know when someone's on his tracks.
So I reckon Batman will observe Marv from the shadows and take in his strengths and weaknesses. I think the biggest mistake on Batman's part would be to go into this underestimating Marv, but I reckon Bats has been about enough not to his homework and treat Marv with caution.
Batman has the combat skills to out fight Marv and is a pretty tough cookie himself, plus Batman has dealt with the likes of Bane and Killer Croc, hell he's even danced with Superman in certain publications. I say he could take Marv man on man, but bring in the gadgets and it's Marv immobilized.
Batman wins out, though not without a few bruises.

Well I knew I had to give some decent reasoning, they're both formidable combatants. Plus I've Batman tipped to win this whole thing so I'm not going to do a half ass job of fighting his corner... that'd be a fanboi maneuver. Seriously, do the Americans spell "maneuver" differently to the Irish? Looks wrong.0 -
