Win-KO Bloodlust-Off Prep time-2 hours Teams are in the jungle and half a mile apart. Think about how each fighter benifits their team and who can take on who. Tell who wins and how they win.
As Phantom said yesterday,"I hate prep time fights. You never know what could happen". I concur. Reed Richards is a walking plot device. With sufficient equipment, he could take the team out. Adding T'Challa (and his suit), and Pete makes it even more difficult. Plot devices, and secret files aside, Iron Man should win it on his own, though.
@KO-Kid: being in the jugle gives an advantage to team with agility even more, reed in a genius he'll scheme up some plan or plot device to figure out a way for his team to win, like i said tony has flight and variety for arsenal which would make this a big challenge

No. Tony also has a radar and is technopathic. He can easily sense any grenades Deadpool carries on him, and just detonate them, from half a mile away, without giving away his presence (to DD and his radar sense mostly - since he has found a way to counter Pete's spider sense). He can reach Mach 9, has spider sense and agility enough to avoid being hit by Spider-man, and his shields have withstood nuclear explosions. There is no way the team takes him down, unless some major PIS is called upon. Tony could just use the sonic device, as he did during CW, and just shut off the minds of all people involved, immediately. Just two hours of prep, without access to any form of technology doesn't save team 2 here.

Hawkeye took Extremis Iron man down with a Black Panther designed EMP arrow. I think we can safely assume if he gave one to Hawkeye, BP's got a ton more of them lying around.

Since Tony is immune to EMP (and can, and has generated EMP himself), that plot point seems quite questionable. Even if we discredit the fact that they shouldn't have been able to hit him in the first place.
@Morpheus_: tony with technopathy? wansn't aware of this, anyhow, i wasn't disagreeing with what you were saying, my point is that team 1 has the advantage with prep (whether it's pis or not), and i also did point out taking out tony would be a serious challenge as well

Yes, he is technopathic. He detonated a nuclear reactor while fighting multiple Skrulls, and he shut down a life supporting device without even wearing the suit, from miles away. Those are just two examples. His mind is constantly connected to satellites, processing new infromation by the second. He was capable of using 72% of his mind at all times, in one point.

This is why I pointed out It's Black Panther designed. As for hitting him, it's context, he just stood there imposingly believing a simple arrow couldn't possibly hurt him.

Tony won't be standing there this time, though. And I doubt BP, good as he is, has any defence against HF attacks in his suit, just in case. But again, this is T'Challa we are talking about. Seeing that Tony had to give special counter devices to his own crew, so that they wouldn't get affected by it, during CW, though, I doubt it.

ok, at first glance I say team 1 without much thought. and after thinking about it a bit....sticking with that. can't really go into detail without filling half the pge but I see Nightcrawler as transport, Reed and T'Challa as the planners (duh) and between them and the others, deadpool in full gear would give them something to work with against Tony. The rest is just prelimanary as most of the agiles have taken down muscle before with out prep. Won't be easy, and if the muscle prolong the battle the better chance they would have of winning.

thanks for scans, i really don't think that was bad writing, he really stood there thinkng the arrow could't hurt him, that was a showing of arrogance not pis imo

It's not a point of standing there like a clot, it's whether the arrow could have hurt him at all.
" Here's the scan, bad writing or not, judge for yourself:
"
That's why I love Tony...He doesn't even attempt to dodge, or destroy the arrow in mid-air. There are three significant problems with this picture: i) Tony is arrogant, yes...But he isn't an idiot. He could have just dodged, without much trouble. If there is a guy who knows you can't risk taking random chances with no reason whatsoever, that's Tony. ii) The pair speaks of "EMP arrow". Not a special arrow, or a modified one. And IM is immune to EMP. iii) IM has been taken down with special equipment designed to specifically disable his suit before (while getting caught unaware, as well). It was supposed to disable the suit indefinitely. It didn't. Tony jump started the suit with his technopathy, after realising what happened. Since it happened before, Tony could do it again, even faster this time.

You do realize IM could have dodged the arrow just for fun, right? The suit reacts as fast as Tony can think of. Dodging an arrow, wouldn't have been a problem. As I already said, Tony is arrogant. Not an idiot.

Morph, remember that IM is not confronting a great evil power, he's confronting two kids without any superpowers. I have no problem with Tony's acting in the scan.

Neither do I. But it still counts for suspension of disbelief.

yes, morpheus "
Excuse me if I sounded brusque. But Tony has had his armour disabled far too many times to actually react the way he did in the scan. Twice in CW, alone. Then, in his own series. Writers can't even seem to keep the continuity intact; Tony has stated several times that EMP cannot hurt him. Then, "EMP pulses, specifically created" for his armour suddenly appear...As if you can tamper with the electromagnetic spectrum, and devise strategies out of nowhere, at will...Especially since Tony has specified he can't be hurt that way.

Maybe. Personally, if I went out to confront two kids which have never before demonstrated any way of harming me, I'd do the same thing.

There still are ways to harm him through EMP. Thor did it without any fuss. Granted, this attack was far beyond the simple arrow, but it does show a point.
Thor demolished IM. Still, it can be argued that his power derives from mystical origin, not actually complying with laws of physics. Also, Thor had an advantage in both speed, and fire power. I do get your point, though. I just believe it improbable, if not impossible for any member of team 1 to actually make it happen here.
Thor's lightning never exhibited this mystical component which People like Captain Marvel produce. Thor simply manipulate weather. His advantages in speed and strength have no meaning here since he demolished him through pure EMP. And yes it is improbable, but I would say that both T'Chala and Reed have had extensive counters developed to IM. You never know what tomorrow brings.
Team 2. No answer for the durability factor exists in this scenario. Heck, Iron Man could probably solo at least half the agility team from a thousand feet in the air.
- Strange. I recall TOHOTMU claiming that Thor can mystically create effects (which he can). I always assumed that this fact should separate his lightning bolts from common ones, as well. But I think you are correct on this. - Thor hammered IM while Tony was still trying to reason with him. Then IM rushed against him, and was hammered again. After this damage, Thor straightforwardly blasted IM with a thunderbolt. That's a level of power that a single arrow cannot replicate. - Do they have the mind to do so? Yes. Do they have the resources? No. Even this duo cannot create components to work with out of thin air. - IM has plans for everything, as well (he said so himself). It's not like he is a "happy-go-lucky" type of person. He had plans for even Dark Reign, far before anyone could imagine that something of the kind could happen. Since his team has no prep here, he could just tap into his satellites and detect team 1's every move from above. No plot to stop him here from using his power to its full potential.

And that nails it down. I concede, Two hours of prep is not enough to take IM, and without it they stand little chance. Good job Morph : )

I learned from the best. ; )
PS - Does this mean I can use the "I beat Vance Astro -Chuck Norris is next" promotional picture with the Spectre now? (by swapping the names, especially for this occasion, of course...)
