Ladies and Gentlemen, with great honor presenting to you:
a Challenge aViner for the record books!!!!
For those of you unaware of what a CaV is, let me educate you. It is a personal match between two Viners. We debate back and forth nand when we are finished with the match, the thread gets opened for voting by the general public of the Vine or we invite certain Viners to vot eon who presented the best argument. This is not about whom everyone thinks would win in a battle between the selected characters, but which of us presents the most compelling argument ad convinces the community that their team is superior.
Please refrain from commenting on whom you think the victor is, or any other information until the ed of the debate and the thread is open to voting please.
Those of you that are familiar with how this works, please feel free to comment appropriately.

*We are using standard versions of these characters, all at their peak without any amps/upgrades (example: Kyle as a regular GL without any other emotional spectrum)
The Rules of Engagement.......
No bringing in outside assistance of any sort
opponents have general knowledge on each other, such as basic idea on powersets. basic.
NO BFR for win, but may be used to weaken, distract, confuse, gain an advantage, etc....
NO PREP, random encounter
here's the fun part..........MORALS OFF, but strangely in character
wins is KO, incapacitate, or death of opponents
No amping or upgrading of abilities and/or weaponry (such as no sundipping for Supes, no extra rings for Kyle, no Odinsword for Thor, etc.....)
Setting/battlefield:
Earth. Considering the nature of these characters, moving the battle into Space for some of them wouldn't be surprising.
@thedailybagel: hey go do your World War Hulk post! right now mister! horse face cant be kept waiting and its nice to break out the cob-webs on ol bill
right on then. Well, I shall dive in with the traditional Introductions post. As these characters are pretty familiar to most (I would say you may have the edge on me on that one. Some may not be as familiar with Blue Marvel and Quasar), it is still always a good idea to quickly educate the viners and voters. In accordance with the new posting images rule however, and the number of characters we have chosen to represent here, let's keep it short and sweet. Savvy?
@frozen: alright well, let me at least get some intros up here and then you may do the same. Considering the amount of combatants we have here, let's keep them brief.
Introductions!!
Thor
Biography:
Thor is the Asgardian God of Thunder and the son of Odin, the All-Father of Asgard , the Elder Earth-Goddess. Combining the power of both worlds, Thor is arguably the greatest and mightiest defender of both . Armed with his powerful enchanted hammer Mjolnir, Thor is the mightiest warrior of Asgard, a founding member of the Avengers and one of the strongest, most powerful beings on Earth
Powers and Abilities:
Thor has very well know abilities, and of all my team here he is probably the most well know. So I will keep this brief and not go into too deep detail, as it is unnecessary...
Class 100 strength. Ability to lift/press in excess of 100 tonnes..
Insane Durability levels
Elemental Control and Manipulation (innate ability aside from Mjolnir)
substantial TP resistance
Teleportation capabilities
now his most famous weapon:
Mjolnir: one of the more powerful weapons and artifacts in the Marvel Universe. Created by the All-Father, Odin....forged in the heart of a dying star from the mystic metal of the Asgardian Gods...Uru, and heavily enchanted. Mjolnir grants Thor an entire array of abilities such as (but not limited to): flight, teleportation, inter-dimensional travel, weather manipulation, energy projection...predominantly Lightning, energy absorbing...............and plenty of others that I will showcase later on.
extra paraphernalia: Thor has employed a Belt of Strength in the past (but not in this battle!)
Silver Surfer
Biography:
Norrin Radd is the Silver Surfer, an alien from the planet Zenn-La with the power to manipulate cosmic energy granted to him by his former master Galactus. He travels the stars on his trusty surfboard with FTL speeds. Norrin has very close affiliations with the majority of Earth's most powerful beings (Dr.Strange, Fantastic Four, etc...), and has served on teams such as the Defenders and Annihilators. Surfer is one of the most powerful beings below abstracts in the known galaxy.
Powers and Abilities:
The Power Cosmic grants Surfer a wide range of abilities, some of which I will illustrate here.
Wendell Vaughn as the being known as Quasar wields two immensely powerful Quantum Bands in his role as the Protector of the Universe. Quasar has had an interesting past, beginning at Project Pegasus and progressing into membership in the Avengers. Wendell is a cosmic faring individual and has had encounters with the Marvel Universes elite beings, including abstracts.He knew the embrace of death for a time, and Phylla Vell (the daughter of legendary Mar Vell, and sister to Genis) wielded the bands for a period. Since his return he has been a member of the Annihilators alongside Surfer, Ronan, Gladiator, Beta Ray Bill and Ikon of the Spaceknights....proving his stature of an upper echelon cosmic hero.
Powers and Abilities:
Wendell's powers come solely from the Quantum Bands. Let me talk about some of their abilities:
Energy Projection (blasting) and Energy Construct Generation (any shape or object that he can envision) very similar to a Green Lantern's ability in the DCU.
Energy Absorbing. Extremely high levels. Extremely.......
Shielding
Flight. FTL speeds.
TP resistance.
Teleportaion and interdimesionary travel capacity.
Blue Marvel
Biography:
When Adam discovered his super-powers,he fashioned a secret identity with which to protect his country, and thus became Blue Marvel; He served as a hero for years, and was one of the most popular heroes of his time. Adam was pressured by the government to retire, because of how much power he had and for being black. He was forced out of retirement to face his greatest foe and former best friend, Anti-Man. Quite the accomplished scientist, Mr.Brashear has a very respectable headquarters that he spend his time in isolation. Recently he has been a member of the Avengers and in the spotlight again.
Powers and Abilities:
Blue Marvel is the first Antimatter Generator and Reactor; the source of his power is the energy released from anti-matter. Antimatter is the same as normal matter, except that the sub-atomic particles are the opposite charge.
Anti-Matter Manipulation which includes:
Concussion Beams
Energy Constructs
Shields
Matter Manipulation/transmutation
Molecular rearrangement
and a wide array of other abilities that include:
flight and substantial speed
Class 100 strength
insane durability and invulnerability
healing factor capabilities
enhanced senses (although not at surfers level)
Gladiator
Biography:
Kallark, codenamed Gladiator, was once the Praetor of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, the most faithful servant of the Shi'ar throne. After the Shi'ar-Kree War, with the apparent death of Lilandra and Vulcan, Kallark is elevated to the position of Majestor by consensus of a desperate Shi'ar populace. He has been one of the Marvel Universes most powerful cosmic heavy hitters for quite some time and has a close comparison to DC's Superman in powerset (he was actually patterned off of him. Kallark = Clark). He has served in the team of Annihilators and had glorious battles throughout the cosmos. A powerful individual indeed.
Powers and Abilities:
Kallark exhibits abilities in line with the "Superman archetype" which include:
