    Nah, Doomsday is far, far more powerful. I mean, it's not even a contest. Hulk strongest? Not this time, pal.

    ...How can Doomsday have more than infinite strength?

    As long as Hulk moves on and Ambrose dies in a collapse of his own poorly defined superpowers, I'm happy with these results.

    Infinity + 1, naturally.

    Morning Results:

    Fight G:

    Rogue: 101
    Spider-Man: 61
    Deadpool: 49
    Constantine: -25


    Fight H:

    Hulk: 112
    Ambrose Chase: 9
    Bigby Wolf: 36
    Cable: 35


    Fight G is just as it should be.

    Bigby vs. Cable is going to be one of the closest matches this round.

    Can anyone else fly, while simultaneously raining down hot plasma fire on all of the combatants?

    I think the moral of the story is to NOT FUCK WITH THE BITCH THAT'S FLYING AND RAINING DOWN THE FIRE AND THE PAIN AND OH GOD!!!!

    All joking aside, that rounds a wierd one. But it's hard to argue a person who fly's and shoots fire losing....

    No, but Deadpool can teleport, which gives him even greater mobility than Rogue, and raining down hellfire isn't much of a problem with his arsenal. Really, I think people are assuming Rogue still has her Ms. Marvel powers, which made her a far greater threat than she is now.

    But.. but all she has to do is get hit with a bullet. Or even a good punch.

    Also, I'm pretty sure she got Sunfire's powers, not Sunspot's.

    I think people are assuming that listing Spider-Man's powers is justification enough for him taking first or second, and that they don't need to take the symbiote into account (though I'm sure it'll be a factor again when he's fighting people who can't shoot fire or wield sonic weaponry).

    Yep. Though I suppose its possible that she could load up with someone elses powers prior to the fight. That might be against the rules though.

    Picking between Cable and Bigby was hard. That mind overloading thing seems like a damn good trick though.

    I get those two confused a lot namewise. :?

    Just remember that Sunspot is the cool one who sort of looks like an even darker Nightcrawler when his powers are activated, and Sunfire is the one without legs.

    It's because he's defensive. He can't really hurt anyone except for Cable so unless he stays in that little bubble forever while Hulk and Bigby wait him out he's not doing shit.

    He can't hurt Cable either.

    I think it's because noone is entirely sure what his field can do and/or how he would deal with all the competitors. Combine that with the fact that the other 3 are quite powerful as well and you got the results.

    Is his force field powered by Infonet or any similar power? If it is then he's fucked because Ambrose's fields screwed with Drummer's signals and would probably do the same with Cable.

    I'm 90% sure someone posted the image of him royally fucking with the invsible woman's mind. That's a pretty damn good offensive ability.

    No, it comes from a device that he has on him.

    I doubt Telepathy would be good against Hulk and Bigby, Hulk's mind is too fucked up for him to make worse and Bigby is most likely psy-proof or at leats resistant due to him bieng a Fable.

    I'd venture so far as to say that Cable is resistent to it as well, since the last time someone tried to pull telepathy on him (while he was powerless!) it did nothing.

    Fight G:

    Rogue: 117

    There was a time when Deadpool could have maybe taken 2nd, but with 5 hours to go I think it's passed. Cable and Bigby, though...

    The winners will be (if there are no big rules changes):

    Superman, Captain Marvel, Invisible Woman, Spider-Man, Thor, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman and I don't know who the last one will be.

    This isn't who I'll vote for, probably, but I'm pretty sure these will win the votes.

    Anyone else have a prediction?

    I'm thinking:
    Match A: Marvel and Magneto (Superman taken out by marvel magic)
    Match B: Invisible Woman and Spider-Man
    Match C: Hulk and Martian Manhunter
    Match D: Wonderwoman and either Rogue or Shade, no cap

    This could change depending on maps and if there's any new rules, but that's my early prediction.

    Rogue's my last nomination left, so I want her to go on. Unfortunately, I don't think she can beat Shade. Hell, even Cap could probably take her.
