    Damn, so close. I'm actually impressed at how close that was. Ya put up a good fight, my furry friend...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,561 ✭✭✭✭OwaynOTT


    Bloody superman! The blue furball should have went through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,594 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    It's another extremely close contest but Superman leaves Beast black and blue (;)) to to make the quarter-finals with a 4-3 win.

    We are now approaching the half-way point of this round. The next tie will be the last one I'll do tonight (I'll look to do the rest of the ties Sunday afternoon).

    So then, last tie of this evening features another X-Men vs Justice League bout...

    Professor X

    Martian Manhunter

    It's the founder of the X-Men, Charles Xavier aka Professor X, versus one of the original Justice League members J'onn J'onzz aka Martian Manhunter.

    Who deserves to reach the quarter-finals? First to four votes takes the glory.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Professor X, without a doubt.

    There's already too many DC characters through this round. Marvel haven't even got a look in yet. And yeah, I'm still bitter about Beast. ;)

    Think I'll go for Professor X here

    Prof x

    Professor X no contest really


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,594 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Professor X proves too powerful for Martian Manhunter and this time it's the X-Men representative that takes out the Justice League member.

    I teased a huge clash was coming up this round and now here it is. We are guaranteed a huge casualty here in this all-Marvel face-off.


    Iron Man

    Spider-Man

    It's a mighty Marvel scrap here as two great intellects collide. It's Tony Stark's alter ego Iron Man versus Peter Parker's alter ego, your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

    Which hero reaches the last 8? First to 4 votes will take the tie.

    Spiderman Spiderman friendly neighborhood Spider-Man


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭sonic85


    Awwww why did you do this to me?! I love both and it's next to impossible for me to separate them.

    I prefer the villains Spidey has to face so he gets my vote - Spiderman


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Ah it's a tough one. I think it has to be Spider-Man though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    It's bye bye Spidey, Iron Man FTW.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    Iron Man!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,585 ✭✭✭IncognitoMan


    Spiderman


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,594 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    A very exciting tie there which at one stage Spider-Man looked like winning comfortably before a fightback from Iron Man. It is the web-slinger that swings into the quarter-finals though with a 4-2 win.

    Next up we have a tie which could very well be another close contest.

    Hellboy

    Daredevil

    It's the demon versus the devil here as Hellboy faces off against Matt Murdoch's alter ego.

    Who deserves the spot in the quarter-finals? Vote now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Ah, another really tough one. As much as I love Hellboy, I think I'll have to go with Daredevil for the reasons I gave in Round 1 - as a blind superhero, he's been a real role model for kids with disabilities, which makes him even more super in my eyes. Vote for Daredevil.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭sonic85


    Hellboy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,831 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Love Hellboy but Daredevil sneaks this one for me

    Daredevil..

    Daredevil


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,594 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Daredevil pulls clear of Hellboy to leap into the quarter-finals. There are only two spots left up for grabs and the next tie is an epic battle of two X-Men members.


    Wolverine

    VS










    Gambit

    250px-Newgambit.jpg


    It's gruff-talking, claw-wielding Wolverine versus smooth-talking, card-throwing Gambit.

    Who will prevail from this X-Men civil war? You decide. First to 4 votes makes the quarter-finals.


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Wolverine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    No! This was what I was worried would happen. The two greatest X-Men by far, but ever since I was a kid, I was drawn to Gambit, so he gets my vote.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,831 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Gambit for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭sonic85


    Wolverine

    After a hard fought contest it's Wolverine that eventually cuts his way into the quarter-finals. We now have the final tie of the round, and it's quite a clash.


    Captain America

    VS










    The Punisher

    220px-PunisherWarZone1.jpg


    It's one of the most principled heroes of all, Captain America, versus the antihero who will use whatever means necessary, The Punisher.

    Who takes the final spot in the quarter-finals? First to 4 votes goes through.
