    Every time I pick a hero to support, HE FAILS. Either I'm being obnoxious with my incessant arguing or most people just don't bother to read the debate threads.

    Spider-man falls for Kitty, they tear it up.

    I know it's a different spider-man, but shut up.

    And the last two votes pulled bigby ahead of cable in 2nd place, that's a photo finish.

    Oh I don't know, while Captain Marvel pretty much has first place locked down, it really comes down to whether he takes out supes or...

    You know, I just recalled that the two of them are both JLA members and good chums nowadays. I concede, the match will be swept by the two of them, although if I could, I would still pay to see what Magneto does to try and stop them.

    Match A will be Superman saying to Captain Marvel, "You go for Bigby, I'll go for Magneto."

    five seconds later, Bigby and Magneto don't have heads

    Match C makes me feel bad for the Hulk. Stuck chucking stuff up at all the fliers he can reach, while Martian Manhunter and Thor can eliminate him at any time by telepathic attack or teleporting him to another dimension. Never thought Hulk would be the underdog.

    hulk might be immune to telepathic attacks.

    remember, his physiology is so fucked up he can PUNCH THROUGH THE SPEED FORCE.

    and shade will have no trouble at all in the next round.

    I can't believe bigby won. I will take great joy in seeing him ripped apart by...well any one of the other three combatants in that match. Holy cow is that gonna be a good fight! I like Superman and Magneto, but Marvel is secretly Jesus Christ in disguise and Bigby apparently has a good sized fanbase here... an interesting match indeed.

    We really need better summaries of characters abilities/powers. People are voting on characters they do not understand. For example, Ambrose's vaguely defined physics distortion powers have been shown to render cybernetic and other informational stuff inoperable. There is no way Cable, who pretty much relies on cybernetics entirely now, would be able to use any of his powers, especially the cybernetic-based infonet, on Ambrose.

    What the hell were people thinking, anyways? Aren't Fables characters pretty much unkillable, due to their existence/power being based on people's imaginations or something? That is very awesome, but a character like Bigby is even more unkillable than Mr. Immortal.

    Douglas, each thread has gone upwards of five pages. People who aren't going to read the threads aren't going to read a huge description of powers in the first post either.

    Also, good luck finding all the necessary information online for this. I'm sorry everyone doesn't have encyclopedic knowledge of every character like you do.

    Theoretically.

    they just won't die

    Hm. I see.

    This is actually what I am talking about. The Host of this tourney is presumably counting on people researching the characters before voting. A lot of voters seem to be going with what they believe characters to be capable of, or voting because character x is cool and they either do not like character y or they have no idea who y is.

    Still for this being the first tourney, it has been really awesome so far. I hope we have another in the future. :D

    Geebs, most of what I have learned has been found either with google, scans_daily, wikipedia, or on this very message board. I do have some compulsion to read and read and read comics and information about comics, but I do not possess secret tomes or anything of that sort. The internet is my favorite thing to read.

    Even if every single iddy bitty power of each character was made avaliable it wouldn't stop people from voting for their favorite characters. Like voting (for example) for Beak from Exiles when he's fighting Hulk,Superman and Iron Man.

    It's an imperfect system for an imperfect Intraweb. *Shrug* Just roll with the punches and take a shot of scotch when things don't go your way.

    Bigby Wolf and Magneto stand absolutely no chance whatsoever against Superman and Captain Marvel.

    I am not even kidding here, Magneto and Bigby should be completely destroyed.

    And Captain Marvel and Superman would definitely team up. They're pals.

    And Fables can be killed. They die all the god damned time. They either get better after a looong while, or they get replaced. They can die. They're just hard to kill.

    I really don't want Superman to get to the final round, just on the basis of that being cliche. But I'll have to agree, Magneto and Bigby, even working together, couldn't take down one of the other two let alone both teamed up.

    Guys guys let's not lose track of the bigger picture here.

    Which is that Magneto and Bigby are going to get straight-up raped by Superman and Captain Marvel.

    And since Supes and Cap are buddies, they will team up, and Cap will fight Bigby, because a giant wolf/wolf-man is obviously made of magic and Superman fucking hates hates hates magic so bad it is not even funny and you cannot even begin to comprehend his hatred for it.

    Supes and Marvel are buddies. Supes likes Marvel because Marvel takes all the magic flak for him.

    I meant like bad magic and stuff.

    But the point, is, Superman is not going to fight Bigby, and Bigby, should he bring the vorpal sword, isn't going to cleave Captain Marvel in twain with it because Cap is about as well-protected against magic as The Adversary is. It would probably cut him pretty bad, but not lethally, or even bad enough to incapacitate him in the slightest.

    Well, in a fairly recent Superman/Captain Marvel team-up, Supes remarks that the magic attacks he sees being used against Marvel are shrugged off like water off a duck's back.

    And the power of Zeus also protects him from magical interference.

    So yes, Captain Marvel is highly resistant to magic. He'd have to be, too, since he's essentially the Superman for magic stuff.
