I hate discounting Vandal because I think he's a great character and a great villian. But I think objectively people are right that Vandal just doesn't have the feats you can point to they way T'Challa does. So much of Vandal's ability is 'implied' but very rarely actually shown. So I think I'd have to give my vote for the win to Black Panther.

That said, if there was an encounter between Vandal and T'Challa, where Vandal beat him down, I probably wouldn't be too quick to call PIS as long as it was well written.

If we were talking old Norse and Germanic legends, then I would say Tyr should be able to stalemate Thor and possible even beat him. But since we are talking the Marvel Comics versions of the characters, and quite frankly /that/ Tyr is a bit of a loser, I agree that Thor can just pretty much one shot everyone on the other team.

Round 2, I think the Rogue's can definitely take this with one full day worth of prep vs. the other teams 4 hours. It'll be brutal and there's probably gonna be some dead rogues along the way, but I think they can do it.

Round 1, I actually think could be pretty close. I think Grodd's got the mental powers to keep Sinister out of the fight, but that's robbing the rogues of their strongest physical fighter, plus, I think both Shaw and Genocide will be hard for team Rogues to hurt. I think the X-Men villians might win round 1.

Of the 3, I think Conan is far and away the best fighter, but with 'Standard Gear' Drizzt has not just his two magic scimitars but quite a few other magical knick-knacks he brings to the table. That might actually tip things in Drizzt's favor. I think Conan's still got this, but I could see how Drizzt could still a win here and there (maybe Xena too if any of her hit kits 'magical' but I really don't remember).

I think this is ultimately Conan's fight to lose though.

@god_of_batman: TOAA would destroy any omnipresent.

Dude Alpha-152 just reads all of TOAA's button inputs and perfectly counter hits everything!

Hrm, I haven't been following the New 52 very much, does anyone mind extrapolating on why there's quite a few picking Pre New 52 for Round 1? The all out fight? Is New 52 missing some of Supes more versatile powers fromt he past or something?

Didn't mace beat Vaders master?..how is anyone beating mace..

Oh boy.. there's always one.

I think that's a fair question. That's certainly how I remember the movie playing out. I feel like Windu beat Palpatine pretty convincingly in that scene and then got blind sided by Anakin.

The Shrike? From the Hyperion Cantos or another character with that name?

From Hyperion Cantos.

Ok, I think that's a really good pick. I'll echo that sentiment!

I realize this is mostly me feeling butt hurt that my favorite Hero doesn't get a good solid win very much anymore, and maybe not 100% accurate, but I feel like Ben Grimm has become something of a Jobber.

He's like an old wrestler that can still go, but is in the twilight of his career. He's still accepted as a tough guy, but I feel like more often than not his job is to get beat the hell up, so some new character/threat can be established as a bad-ass.
