ROUND ONE

CRAIG: Impossible man--he has no way of being banished.

CRAIG: Storm Shadow; his ninja training would neutralize DD's senses.

PEAT: Okay, I gotta say, I think you're off on this one. DD eats ninjas for breakfast, and "the ear that sees" is no match for hyper-senses.

CRAIG: Hmm, good point. . . .

CRAIG: Magneto; use the metals in your body to fuck Gravy MAJORLY.

CRAIG: Oooo . . . Still, Thor gets the edge. A lightning bolt here and Maggy learns that magnets make good conductors for electricity.

PEAT: I don't think Thor can toss lightning without the hammer, which could be snatched away in a magnetic bubble. Maggie could also divert the electricity, anyway. Thor MIGHT still win, but it would be one HELLuva battle.

CRAIG: I don't think he can do lightning w/o the hammer either, but his strength alone is far beyond Maggy. Thor wouldn't have it easy, but he'd take Maggy sooner than you think.

CRAIG: Hmmm, toughy. Supes got more variety in the power department, but Thor is the friggin' God o' thunder. This one's close to call, but I'd give the edge to Thor. But only by a VERY slim margin. (Plus, if Supes is vunerable to magic, that definitely gives Thor an edge.)

PEAT: Thor, hands down. He has a HAMMER! (He can also fly, and has various powers other than strength. If he put on his magic gauntlets and belt, it would be even easier for him)

CRAIG: Yeah, sounds good to me. I just wish Marvel wouldn't pansey around and just get it over and done with.

PEAT: Cap may have an "edge" because of the Super-Soldier serum, and I'd pit him against just about anyone else, powers or no, but my rule has always been "No matter WHAT the situation, no matter WHO is involved, no matter WHERE it's taking place, always, Always, ALWAYS put your money on Batman."

CRAIG: Funny, that's what they usually say about Cap.

PEAT: Marv is a big tough bruiser, but he's no Killer Croc. Batman would bust his bully ass worse than Kevin did, and if Marv tried the handcuff trick, the bat micro-laser blowtorch would slice right through them (that, or he'd use the escape tricks that Zatanna's father taught him).

CRAIG: Micro-torch? I dunno. That assumes Marv would let Bats get a chance to use his belt. And if we conceed that Marv would know who is opponent is (Kevin took him unaware the first time, but Marv was deliciouslly prepared the second time), then I think he'd have a plan to make sure Bats could only use his fists and wits, no gimmicks.

PEAT: Batman would STILL win. Batman would take out the Hulk. Batman is ALWAYS prepared. It's impossible to take him by surprise.

CRAIG: I could see Bats winning, though. But I think it would be one VERY long fight, and both men would get the shit kicked out of them by the end. I just think that since Marv beat Kevin, who was obviously no slouch in the skilled fighter department, he'd be a challenge for Bats. Besides, can't you just see the two of them panting, bruised and bloody and Marv looking at Bats and going "That there is one damn fine cape you're wearing...."

PEAT: Heh. That's funny. I still think Marv kinda cheated with Kevin, though...

CRAIG: Of COURSE Marv cheated. How else was he gonna win!? That's why against Bats I think he'd be pretty good. But, admittedly, I can see why Bats would be victorious in the end.

CRAIG: Bats. 'Cause lets face it, no matter how good TM is, EVERYONE kicks his ass in the end anyway.

PEAT: Fair enough. . . .

PEAT: Zatanna. She's wily. She's also considerably hotter, and doesn't turn to machinery for sexual gratification.

CRAIG: Hey, Wanda was looking pretty slutty during her Force Works tenure. And she don't need to speak backwards to do her thang. . . .

PEAT: John would find a way. Wolverine is cool, but he's no tougher than some of the demons John banishes to Abbadon before lunch each day.

CRAIG: HELL'S YEAH!! But more importantly: Who could DRINK more? (You might say Wolvie 'cause of his healin' factor, but that's only if you expect John not to cheat. :)

PEAT: Are we talking pitched battle or in the boardroom. Tough choice. In a fight, Wayne all the way. Stark ain't shite without his armor. In the boardroom, well, Stark Industries grows really quickly, but they've declared bankruptcy twice at least, due to their CEO's incompetence or alcoholism. Wayne industries is always SOLID.

CRAIG: I dunno. A sober Stark, especially how Busiek's been writing him, can be one mean mother. I'd say he certainly brainier than Wayne. Bruce may have a greater variety of knowledge at his disposal, but Stark is a true inventor. If WayneTech did beat Stark Enterprises/International/Solutions, it wouldn't be easy.
