Sorry Apoc, Giganta's pretty much uncontested this whole round.
Really big and hot.
Man, I hate Apocalypse.
And what's the Nexus of all Realities?
The Nexus of all realities is the point where this reality is joined to all others
Or does Angstrom only win if Ultron is killed, either in this reality or another one?
Though to be fair, didn't Angstrom have to use Invincible's mom to force the boy to enter a portal? Ultron would just blow him away from a distance.
Not looking good for Levy.
Levy could just shield himself with portals.
And then we have a stalemate with the two of them just standing there.
Staring.
Glaring.
And then Levy either bails via portal or starves to death.
I don't see any way Ultron could lose this. He's not an idiot.
I would think that it would qualify him as out of bounds. So if that is a legitimate way to lose this fight it would be a possible strategy.
look out, Giganta, he may stomp his feet and cry
Also, with "Well, Apocalypse can get just as big," wouldn't she become much stronger than him as they sized up, with the whole proportion thing?
If I remember correctly, Apocalypse has the same thing since he can alter his being on close to an atomic level... add to that his shapeshifting (and he still has energy beams too doesn't he?) and I doubt Giganta's got much of a shot.
I give Ultron the win, all he needs to do is score one hit on Levy and that should be enough.
I'll give Sandman the win, since guns will never be able to hurt him, so Mist will probably be vulnerable before he is (I have no idea who Mist is though).
Swarm vs Pirate, I dunno.
But then each of Swarm's bees supposedly houses his consciousness, making him an aggregate being composed of thousands of tiny minds. Would Psycho Pirate have trouble influencing thousands of minds at once, small though they may be?
Anyone care to explain the mechanics of Psycho's powers and the extent of that power?
Couldn't mist just go into Mist Form and Tranquilize him? Would that result in a KO?
Similarly being that she has the power of intangilibty wouldn't Sandman have a hard time hitting her?
Sandman and Mist are both pretty much intangible, don't think either can really hurt each other in any conventional way. So the question is, who is smarter, and who could come up with a unique way to out the other first?
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
if her tranquilize ability is anything other than a telepathically induced tranquility, i do not think it would affect him.
the only real way i see of either of them hurting each other is sandman completely encasing mist in himself, making himself so dense that she cannot leak out, then rolling to a beach or desert (i'm pretty sure either could be found in savage lang) and filling whatever space she's taking up in him with more super-dense sand, to the point where she is either super-heated, crushed, and/or completely atomically dispursed and can't put herself together again or something.
And Mist has come up with some brilliant plans. Too bad she doesn't have time to prepare. If she did, she could do something similar to what she did to Amazing Man by tainting some quicksand so that Sandman is incapacitated when he tries to absorb it.
Sandman still needs to breathe, right?
I think he gets fairly far on the fact he is a Nazi skeleton surrounded by bees alone.
This is the same thing I am basing my vote on.
Match B - Ultron. I've never even heard of this other guy. He loses for wearing a pink tie.
Match C - I don't know either of these two clowns. Based on their powersets, I would give this one to Psycho Pirate. A guy made of bees doesn't seem that bad when you are wearing armor.
Match D - Mist? I will give it to him..or her, can't really tell from the picture and am too lazy to wiki him…or her. Sandman in all of his power and potential, has usually been written as a tard.
Does he have a human form anymore?
You know what never works on Sandman?
Guns.
Either they just stand around glaring at each other or Sandman thumps her when she solidifies.
Becuase if not how do you beat him?
....or a vaccum cleaner. Yeah.
