    DOOM.

    And Nimrod.

    I've stated my reasonings in the discussion thread already.

    Doom. He'll simply ask them all to march single file into Doomstadt. Either Mystique obeys and forfeits, or disobeys and gives her identity away to Doom.


    Mysterio. He can't trick Nimrod outright, but he can tell him the holographic projector represents mutant activity somewhere in the world and get him to fly off.

    Mystique - Gets the drop on Doom and snaps his neck.

    Mysterio - The Wall of China is much too small of a field for Nimrod to work within. Especially since Mysterio can send his robots out to threaten villagers and make them look like mutants in the process. Nimrod's prime directive would cause him to leave the battlefield, he would realize he'd been duped, but it'd be too late. Bubblehead advances.

    Doom - All ways Mystique can win rely too much on Doom just looking around, instead of commanding his people.

    Nimrod - Nimrod could take the robots out from a distance and I doubt he would be fooled by anything Mysterio comes up with.

    Doom - Way too much power for mystique and magic will render her shapeshifting useless

    Nimrod - Mysterio relies on manipulating human perception. Nimrod isn't human. He could just switch to infared vision or some shit.

    Doom- Too much going for him, Mystique would not even be able to hurt him anyway.

    Nimrod- Illusions and tricks won't work on a robot. Nimrod would see through all the tricks, and at the end of the day this is a fight between a regular human and a robot death machine.

    Doom: He can pretty much phone this one in.

    Nimrod: As much as I'd like to see Mysterio win, I'd say the odds are in favour of cold, calculating robot logic.

    Doom - Fucking Doom, Man. He can't lose to some shapeshifter.

    Nimrod - His robot brain does not need beer. Nor is it going to be tricked by Mysterio's little ploys.

    Doom - Mystique has had an easy ride up to now. Granted, so has Doom - but he's a brick wall compared to the thrown egg Mystique will be.

    Nimrod - I'm really in disbelief of the people that said that Mysterio would win this one. Even current tech such as night vision and heat vision can spot Mysterio through the illusion - why wouldn't Nimrod have at least the equivalent as standard target seeking protocols? And as for Mysterio's EM Disruptor beam, Nimrod's systems allow him to project magnetic energies as well, so it can be assumed that he is hardened to negate that beam. Nimrod for the easy win.

    Doom - I can't see Mystique being able to beat him in many places least of which being his own country.

    Nimrod - Basically what's been said already Mysterio can mess with humans something fierce but i don't think he can trick a robot.

    Pure fucking awesome.

    2nd match: Nimrod. I can't see any of Mysterio's illusions working on a walking supercomputer from the future. Once you get past the illusions, Mysterio's just a normal dude in a really gay hat.

    Doom, because he's a freaking master sorcerer, has massively complex technology at his disposal, and is DOOM.

    Nimrod, because there's no way the illusions will fool him, and he's extremely adaptive.

    Doom - I don't feel like repeating the obvious.

    Nimrod - Illusions being projected by a normal human, against a walking supercomputer with an adaptable arsenal of weapons to suit most any occasion? Suuuuuure.

    With zero doubt it would be DOOM


    with a heavy heart the second match up would go to Nimrod :(
    God I want to say Mysterio, but anyway you cut it this match is just unfair, sure he has some robots that he can make look to be like mutants, but nimrod has scanners up the wazoo to prevent such trickery.

    At least we might get a gang fight pile up of mysterio-bots swarming nimrod...which would always be amusing.
