Champions Battle Poll (Week 10: round 3)

Sabretooth
Rhino
Spectre
Fantastic 4

Great matches as always,

Sabretooth is a little to much for the Tiger.
Carnage is to fast and psychotic for Rhino.
Spectre can manipulate time/space where Manhattan only "sees" beyond it and can manipulate matter. So Spectre.

The team matchup is awesome, I see you were very selective with the X-men, creating a set of equal/parallels/opposites. FF probably works better as a team then the pieces of the X-men. Honestly if you had included storm/cyke I might lean to the xmen but out of the four there is no real tactical leader to formulate a good plan. The best is beast and he is more of a thinker/scientist then a military leader.
While Reed isn't the best tactician, he's been the leader for a long time so is better and more experienced in calling the shots under fire.

Individually:
Mr. Fantastic > Beast.
Invisible woman < Jean Grey
Thing slightly < Colossus
Not sure who is stronger in fire vs ice.
Bobby is cold but Johnny can Nova which means we're fighting on the Kelvin scale. So I'm going to call these two a draw.

I give it to FF.

Sabertooth vs Bronze Tiger

Sabertooth it will take more then fist to take down Victor.

Carnage vs Rhino

Spider-man does it all the time stand to reason that Carnage can do it in half the time Pete usually take to win.

Dr.Manhattan vs Spectre

Spectre vast god like powers will make short work of Manhattan.

Fantastic Four vs X-men

If it's Jean without the Phoenix force then the Fantastic Four.If it's with the X-men takes this before Johnny can say "Flame On".

On a side note:If Jean Grey is fighting without the Phoenix force her picture should reflex that because most will just assume she powered by the Phoenix because of her picture.

Thx Fenix for continuing to post these battles

Sabretooth- Healing factor trumps lack of skill this time
Carnage- The carnage symbiote is too crazy to loose (Venom/Joker)
Spectre- I dont think he would lose to many except TOAA
X-Men- Team Experience is almost even but Jean is a trumps Reed

Bronze Tiger vs Sabretooth -- Regen abilities have nothing to do with being knocked out cold. BT's mastery of pressure points alone is enough to deal with Creed.

Carnage vs Rhino -- love Rhino, hate Carnage with a passion, but if Spider-Man can beat horn-head then Carnage can, too.

Spectre vs Doc Manhattan -- Two vastly powerful opponents, one whose powers are quantum in nature, one whose powers are paranormal in nature. Think I'm going to go with Spectre on this one, but only because Manhattan has no familiarity with paranormal/mystical energies and wouldn't know how to manipulate them, whereas Spectre's proven he can handle both supernatural opponents and those whose powers are more science-related.

Fantastic Four vs X-Men -- One on one, I think Ben can take down Peter (he's the better fighter and has beaten immensely stronger opponents than himself in the past). Torch would fry Ice Man. While Reed isn't super-strong, he's shown countless time he can trap a much stronger opponent by wrapping himself around them, so Hank wouldn't last against him. So this one comes down to the telepath. And not one member of the FF is immune to telepathy, so that's pretty much all she wrote.

I wouldve preferred the Original X-Men vs The Original Fantastic Four

Scott vs Reed
Hank vs Ben
Bobby vs Johnny
Jean vs Susan

in their rookie seasons so they didnt have experience to lean on. Jean wouldnt be as powerful a telepath. Bobby and Johnny wouldnt have their max temperatures and the true leaders would have a hell ova showdown.

Sorry guys but Thing vs Beast IMO would be a horrible match. They're just too uneven, fighting at their fullest Ben could potentially one shot him. 80-100 tons vs 9-15 tons, Thing is a heck of a lot stronger and way more skilled. (although Beast is no slouch)
