    Iceman's hopes are shattered as Beast roars his way into Round 2. Next up we've got a battle between a member of the X-Men and a member of the Justice League.


    Kitty Pryde

    It's the youngest person to join the X-Men, Kitty Pryde, versus one of the original members of the Justice League, Martian Manhunter.

    Another tough one, because Martian Manhunter is pretty awesome, but still gonna stick with the auld X-Men and vote for Kitty Pryde.

    Though I love X-men, I gotta go Martian Manhunter this time.

    It's the Justice League's representative that takes the tie as Martian Manhunter reaches Round 2. Next up is a battle between a member of the Avengers and the X-Men.


    Hawkeye

    Professor X

    It's the expert archer, Hawkeye, played on the big screen by Jeremy Renner, up against the telepathic founder of the X-Men, Charles Xavier, played on screen by Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy.

    Who do you think should go on to Round 2? Vote now.

    I do like Hawkeye but Charles takes this easily imo

    Captain Jean Luc Picard

    Professor X

    This thread is killing me! There was no movement on it for ages yesterday then all of a sudden BAM a load of matchups I'd love to have voted on! Gutted for Spawn!

    Anyway - it's got to be the Professor

    Hawkeye, just to be contrary.


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,535 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Not been a good round for the archers as Hawkeye, like The Green Arrow, finds himself eliminated as Professor X advances.

    We have five ties left in this round, and I would say the final tie is probably the biggest tie of the game so far (when you see it you'll know what I mean). The next one up is a pretty big one, though; it's an all-Gotham clash.



    Batgirl

    VS











    Dick Grayson

    150px-Robin_BTAS.jpg167px-Nightwing_TNBA.jpg


    These two once teamed together under the name 'Dynamite Duo' but now they are facing off; it's Commissioner Gordon's daughter Barbara aka Batgirl versus a man who has worn many costumes, most memorably as the original Robin - but also as Nightwing - Dick Grayson.

    Who should go through from this Gotham showdown? Vote now.

    Has to be Dick/Robin/Nightwing. One of the all-time greats. I was really enjoying his run as Batman too before the New-52 turned him back to Nightwing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,203 ✭✭✭sonic85


    Dick grayson


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,404 ✭✭✭JustShon


    Sealing the deal right here: Dick Grayson all the way. Nightwing is my favourite DC hero, no contest.


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,535 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Dick Grayson swoops into Round 2, joining his old friend Bruce. Next up we have an X-Men vs Fantastic Four clash.


    Gambit

    VS










    The Invisible Woman

    250px-Cover_for_Marvel_Knights_%224%22%2C_no._5.jpg


    It's the card-throwing, staff-wielding Gambit versus the final member of The Fantastic Four left in the game, Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman.

    Who should go through to Round 2? Vote now.

    Gambit. To hell with the powers, he wins because of the accent ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭nibtrix


    Definitely Gambit

    I think a quote from an old X-Men game on the Playstation is appropriate here:

    Dealer wins, not your day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,203 ✭✭✭sonic85


    I know he's won already but I'm gonna throw in another vote to make it emphatic!

    Gambit


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    I'm late to the party again, but still gonna vote Gambit despite his already landslide win.


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,535 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Gambit plays his cards right and makes Round 2 with a powerful showing. Only three ties remain and next up we see two female superheroes collide in a Marvel vs DC clash.


    Black Widow

    Supergirl

    250px-6.5_Supergirls.png

    I'm gonna go with black widow here - just a much cooler all round character


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Yeah, Black Widow for me too. Someone give her a solo movie already... ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 60,298 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Black Widow/


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,535 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Supergirl fails to join her cousin in the next round as Black Widow advances. Time for the penultimate tie of Round 1 and it's an all-Marvel affair.


    Deadpool

    Storm

    It's not the first time the wise-cracking Deadpool has set his sights on a member of the Marvel universe and this time his challenge is the weather-controlling member of the X-Men, Storm.

    Who goes through to the next round? Vote now.
