Champions Battle Poll (Week 4: Round 2)

Captain America vs Iron Fist -- the best hand-to-hand fighter in Marvel vs arguably the second best. I can see Fist getting in a couple shots but Cap's so much physically stronger he'd just shrug 'em off. His shield defends against Fist's chi strike. I vote Cap by knock-out.

Swamp Thing -- the problem with Swamps going up against tank characters like Hulk, Thing and Colossus is that while they can't hurt him physically because he can just put himself back together, there's also very little he can do to hurt them. I vote draw.

Wonder Woman vs Beta Ray Bill -- BRB's so bad-ass he legitimately defeated Thor BEFORE Odin granted him similar Thor-like powers. So even without them, I wager he could take WW out. Throw the Thor powers on top of it and he'd wipe her off the map. By the way, I love the "all comic characters" approach. Beta Ray Bill doesn't get enough props as the one of the heaviest of heavy hitters in the MU, and his presence in these matches should be a real game changer.

[fwap]sorry guys that noise was made smacking the ignorance out of relentless

CAPTAIN AMERICA vs IRON FIST: I could see either one winning.
Cap is a better strategist but IMO Iron Fist is a better martial artist. But Iron Fist has really improved his skills over the years, especially during Ed Brubaker's run on Immortal Iron Fist, and with Fist's chi powers, he has an advantage over Cap in that regard.

Okay, I apologize to relentless. In hindsight my sense humor can be misunderstood in print form. It's just that he's so… Relentless :-)
