A lot of the big team is just cannon fodder here, they really don't need to be on the team. But I'd guess that the big team could eventually take the hairy guys down. Not easy though.

Here's what they'd probably do. Cyke, Banshee, Shocker, and Gambit would attack from a distance. Between them, they'd do a decent amount of damage and at least temporarily stun them.

Then Lizard, Rhino, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Sabretooth, Doc Ock, Beast, and Cyber come in for the close-up attack. Individually they'd get knocked down pretty hard, but together they could potentially do some more damage, especially Rhino, Cage, Iron Fist, and Cyber (with his poison). Then they might step back and let the distance team blast 'em again from close up.

But they'd lose a number of guys before they eventually won.

Stunningly, out of the many times this battle has been done before.....

...none of them actually specifically stipulate that Moon Knight has his powers. So I guess technically this is a different battle.

Does Moon Knight have his adamantium armor? Also, just to point out, Moon Knight wouldn't have his moon powers during the day time.

PG is ridiculously faster, can fly, and has ranged weapons in her eye beams. Lobo is stuck on the ground with no ranged weapon other than throwing stuff. She may not be able to kill him, but all she has to do is fly up and blast at him as long as she wants. Or, run up at super speed and throw him into space before he can react.

@wmwadeii said:

@owie: @x35 mentioned this in another thread, it's basically because this site is designed for wiki content not images. Most of the images can be found online thru a google or bing search. Now if you are taking the time to actually scan the images like I know she does, then you would probably also take the time to caption each image with the actual issue # and information. This will give you 5pts for the caption and 1pt for the tag if you so choose to tag it. Again not a lot of points but better than nothing.

I do agree that however if you tag multiple images you should get 1pt per image tagged, I also think there should be a way to click an image, edit the caption/tag, unclick and do the next image, rinse and repeat. Right now if say you upload 5 images you have edit, caption/tag save, edit caption/tag save.

Yes, I do all my own scanning, color-correcting, cropping, etc., plus specific captioning. I certainly don't need more than 5 points per image. I'm happy to get 1 or 2. I'd just like to get the points for all the images at once without having to add them separately. And it's a bit easier to caption them all at once in my profile page right after I upload them, and then distribute them to various pages, rather than caption them after I start distributing, so I normally don't get the captioning points.

I totally agree about the ability to caption multiple images in a row without constantly hitting the edit button. It takes me forever to caption things now. Plus, since there's no page numbering, it's almost impossible to caption multiple images if they're far down on a page now.

It would be REALLY helpful if we could add images (using the small, side-by-side format) to a comment in the order we want the images to appear, instead of just the order they are in in our profiles.

For instance if I'm adding several scans to a battle thread using the small, side-by-side format, I can't post them in the actual order they were in in the comics. It just posts them in the order they are in my profile, which is often backwards. (And sometimes it adds them in a random order that's a little different from my profile.)

Then I have to say, OK, read the scans in this order: #5, 4, 3, 6, 2, 1 (or whatever).

In the old version, we could control this by clicking on the images in the order we wanted them to appear, but that doesn't seem to work any more.

I'm having similar problems. For instance, let's say I want to add some images that are tagged "etrigan" on my profile. When I go to add them to a thread, sometimes some of those images do not appear in the image search function under that tag. The image search will show most of the images I have tagged as Etrigan, but not all.

But I can try it immediately afterwards, and then suddenly they do appear in the image search.

And then I can try again later, and they're not there again.

It seems to have something to do with waiting time. If I open the image search window, and let it sit there for five or ten seconds, then it is more likely to have all the correct images when I scroll down. But even this is inconsistent. It also does that thing where it repeats the top two rows of images sometimes, but not other times.

It is not related to waiting for the images to all process; I can eventually get to the last tagged images perfectly fine, but some might be missing from the middle.

I have tried removing the tag from the images and adding it again, but it does not make a difference.

Using Mac with Mountain Lion/Firefox and Chrome.

I agree with this. It is much harder to search for previous battles now. This is partly because it lists every comment in a thread separately, rather than just listing the thread once.

In other words, if I search for Rhino, it lists every single comment someone made about Rhino. Whereas before, as I recall, it only showed the threads with Rhino, not each comment individually.

It might also be helpful (this is not so much a bug as a suggestion) if there was an option to only search the title of the threads, rather than the body text. I would use this tons of times when looking for previous battles.

I've found that I only get points for images if I add them to a tag, and then only 1 point for the entire set of images. So I could add 20 images at once, and get 1 point. If add them one at a time, then I'd get 20 points. This is a little annoying. On the other hand if I just add them to a character's gallery in general, with no tag, then I don't get points at all.

I get points if I write captions on images that are directly on a character's page, but if I write the captions on my profile page, then add those captioned pics to a character's page, I get no points (unless I tag them, in which case I get points for the tag, but not the captions).

I use Firefox/Mac with Mountain Lion.

Interesting matchup. I would guess that Zzzzax has a higher degree of control over energy than Radioactive Man, although I don't know that for sure. Radioactive Man is a pretty powerful character, he should be used more often in battles.

Nice to see some of these fights. Here's some more, and sorry they're all out of order, there's nothing I can do about it:

Etrigan vs Lobo (READ IN THIS ORDER: #11, 10, 9, 7, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 1, 2, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12)

(Note that they get separated and come back to fight again a couple times during the fight)

Etrigan vs Superman (READ FROM RIGHT TO LEFT)

Etrigan vs Abaddon, protector of the entrance to Hell (READ FROM RIGHT TO LEFT)

Etrigan (technically, a version of his body from a couple hundreds years ago, which is temporarily possessed by another demon, but whatever) has had his limbs cut off, and magically transplants human limbs in their place

Etrigan's clothes are protective

Various examples of magic use: pulling out the demon that is possessing a man, teleportation, shields, changing the target of a missile

some magic from Jason: blasting Lobo and scrying

destroying the castle of Beelzebub, a lord of hell, with the help of Abaddon (READ IN THIS ORDER: #2, 3, 1)

Manages to VERY TEMPORARILY destroy the Phantom Stranger's body
