    It's another defeat for a supervillain as Superman flies into the next round. We come to the final hero vs villain tie - before we get to the hero vs hero ties - and it's arguably the tie of the round.



    Iron Man

    Iron Man wins the final superhero vs supervillain tie and goes through.

    Overall, it's been a disaster for the supervillains. Only ONE of them managed to go through and that was Magneto.

    We move now to the four hero vs hero ties of this round and the first one is an all-Marvel match-up...



    Wolverine

    VS










    Daredevil

    This tie between Wolverine and Daredevil might seem familiar: these two fought in the Best Superhero tournament in a quarter-final. On that occasion Wolverine won, but it was 4 votes required then; now it's 3 votes to advance. Will that make a difference? Let's see. Cast your votes now.

    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.



    Captain America

    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 Flash

    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

    VS










    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.
