    A nail-biting contest there but we avoid another big upset as Wolverine claws his way over the line. Next up is a battle between two Avengers.

    A very tight battle sees Captain America edge out his Avenger colleague. We come to the penultimate tie of the round which is a great DC vs Marvel clash.

    The Punisher did very well in the Best Superhero tournament but The Flash has left him eating dust as the DC Comics character speeds through.

    We come to the final tie of the round and the last tie I'll post this evening. It's a DC vs Marvel clash.



    Dick Grayson

    Ant-Man

    Another exciting contest to end the round and it's Dick Grayson that secures the final spot in the round of 16.

    That concludes Round 2 and what an interesting one it proved to be. There were big casualties with the likes of The Joker and The Punisher going out, and only one supervillain remains in Magneto.

    That means we will begin the next round with the one and only hero vs villain tie, and the remaining seven ties will be hero vs hero.

    I hope to have the round of 16 begin after 7 pm, Friday. :cool:

    Okay folks the draw for the round of 16 has been done and there are some really cool ties coming up, and our opening tie is arguably the best one of the round.

    As we're now at a crucial part of the game we will up the requirement to 4 votes needed to progress.

    The opening tie is the only superhero vs supervillain tie left in the game and we all know who the villain is - the only bad guy left - Magneto. Excitingly I can reveal Magneto has been drawn against one of his natural enemies. There are three X-Men in this round so there was always a chance, so read on to find out who it is as we get our first tie under way...




    Magneto

    Professor X

    250px-Xav-lopr.png


    Yes it's an epic mutant match-up to kick us off featuring old friends and rivals: Magneto, with the power of magnetism who does not believe in a world where mutants and humans can coexist, versus Professor X, telepathic founder of the X-Men who does believe in peaceful coexistence.

    Only one of these characters can advance to the quarter-finals and it's up to you to determine who it will be. First to 4 votes takes the tie.

    Magneto beats his old friend Charles and ensures we have a supervillain in the quarter-finals. Now we move on to our hero vs hero ties and the first one we have is a cracker. It's a Marvel vs DC clash.

    It was a close battle early on, but Silver Surfer edges ahead of The Flash and glides into the quarter-finals.

    The next tie will be the last one I'll post this evening. I hope to finish off the rest of the round's ties tomorrow evening after 7 pm. But what a tie we wrap up with tonight. It's a clash featuring two iconic Marvel characters.




    Wolverine

    Captain America

    It's the no-nonsense claw-wielding member of the X-Men, Wolverine, taking on the patriotic shield-throwing Avenger, Captain America.

    A big casualty is guaranteed here. Who advances? First to 4 votes takes the tie.

    How Captain America beat Wolverine I'll never understand...you people disgust me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,631 ✭✭✭IncognitoMan


    Yeah not that it makes a difference now but should have been Wolverine


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 6,335 Mod ✭✭✭✭PerrinV2


    Probably would have voted Wolverine too but very close call.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    We now know there will be no repeat of the Best Superhero final as Wolverine crashes out of this tournament due to a dominant performance from Captain America. Next up we have a very interesting DC vs Marvel match-up.
