Thor won the other tournament. Why's Loki worse than Thor?
Loki
Ghul
Luthor
Shit, I dunno.
I call Sinestro, Loki, Ra's Al Ghul, and Wendigo.
Edit: Actually...after looking at the Wikipedia entry for Luthor (and his battlesuit) I'm gonna go with Lex on the last battle.
That's the only possible way, though, and it's hard to get the drop on someone who flies and is not stupid.
And is near-constantly surrounded by a powerful shield and wears a ring that has galaxy-wide sensor capabilities.
Okay fine.
Jeez.
I'm inclined to agree. Mostly because there's something poetic about the god of trickery getting trapped in a funhouse mirror.
What can the Apok battle suit do?
Ghul takes out Shaw with knockout gas.
Sinestro punches a hole in the space station and Deathstrike gets sucked out?
Plus they are on a space station.
All he has to do is blow a hole in the hull.
EDIT: Beat'd.
Ghul doesn't punch people anyway. He has his epee, so he'll tag shaw in the jugular.
Loki's Wiki says he's capable of "interdimensional teleportation"...so I don't see him getting trapped by Mirror Master.
no. competitors will have access to all of the prior round's fights, but unless they have knowledge of their opponent prior to their first match, they are on their own.
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
Man...he can uh...like...trick MM into breaking one of his own mirrors. He could...uh...I got nothing.
Siestro, Ra's, and Luthor are pretty fucking given winners, otherwise.
Marvel Comics Loki, though? Eh.
EDIT: I need signature help, I made a sig for this tourney have it on imageshack but it won't show up. Yes I have "Show Signature" checked, what's the correct BBCode I put in the box?
To look at it another way...since MM can't trap Loki...in what other ways could he eliminate him?
Also, I doubt Loki would be unable to catch Mirror Master, MM can go into one dimension, Loki can go through many. Loki has much more potential for mind fuckery than MM.
Well I'll have to give that match to Sinestro.
then Loki.
then Ras.
then Luthor.

Dude. Loki.
"Without absorbing energy he is merely a strong ordinary human, but normally Shaw works to keep his strength at a superhuman level"
So he'd go into the fight with at least some extra strength and stamina. With the supposed ability to absorb energy from a bullet, it's unclear to me how well an epee would work. So I think it'd come down to his intellect and viral bombs, and if they can take him out before shaw one-punches what is essentially a person with a relatively standard human physique.
If Wolverine's claws don't hurt him, I don't think the epee will, either. And since he has superhuman durability and endurance, I think he'd be able to hold his breath and resist the viral bomb to get close to Ra's and take him out. But I could be mistaken - I only really know Ra's from BTAS.
B: Loki. What the fuck is Mirror Master going to do to fucking Loki? The only way he can lose is by breaking a mirror, and Loki's not the one who's going to get tricked.
C: Shaw. Viral bombs might take him down, but not before Shaw's had a chance to break Ra's neck.
D. Luthor. Luthor's thing is fighting a guy way past Wendigo in strength, and unlike Superman, Wendigo has the IQ of a piece of toast.
It didnt explain it when it happened, but Wolverine's claws just didnt go into him. I'm guessing it works just like it does when he gets shot by a bullet - he absorbs the incoming kinetic energy, and the projectile comes to a halt.
Even if a viral bomb isn't enough, Ghul could just smoothly take him with the epee (it's not a bullet and there doesn't need to be a whole lot of kinetic energy behind the strike).
If it's moving at all, it has kinetic energy.
